Background & Aim: Investigating the possibility of using medicinal plant’s seeds substitute for agar gel in plant tissue culture and determining the optimal practical conditions of them is the aim of this study. Experimental: In order to study the new gelling agents for using in plant tissue culture, we designed a tow part experiment by means of the seeds of medicinal plants such as Linum ...

the measurement of chlorophyll content of leaf is as an appropriate criterion in breeding programs to increase the rate of leaf photosynthesis. in order to study the relationship between chlorophyll content and seed yield under saline conditions, 41 wheat genotypes were evaluated in two conditions (normal and salinity stress) at the research field of the national salinity research center (nsrc)...

The physiologically active, gel-forming fraction of the alkali-extractable polysaccharides of Plantago ovata Forsk seed husk (psyllium seed) and some derived partial hydrolysis products were studied by compositional and methylation analysis and NMR spectroscopy. Resolving the conflicting claims of previous investigators, the material was found to be a neutral arabinoxylan (arabinose 22.6%, xylo...

Mucilage of Plantago ovata husk has various characteristics like binding, gelling, granulating, film former, disintegrating, suspending, and sustaining properties and could be utilized for the preparation of pharmaceutical dosage forms like tablets, suspensions, gel and for sustained drug release systems. The present paper deals with the spectrophotometric estimation of total polysaccharide con...

Suspensions are one of the most important dosage forms under liquid orals. A large number of drugs are formulated as suspensions considering their therapeutic and commercial benefits. The aim of the present study is to formulate paracetamol suspensions employing Plantago ovata mucilage as a suspending agent and evaluate the sedimentation stability using near infrared transmission measurements. ...
