This experiment was carried out to evaluate the potential of extracted Datura metel seed oil as a bio wood preservative against fungi attack reports have shown bio-preservatives be toxic free and environmentally friendly. The from by Soxhlet apparatus using N-Hexane ethanol solvents volume-to-volume method dilution kerosene (at 50%) added increase its quantity thereafter. phytochemical screenin...

Plant species identification based on the morphological features of plant parts is a well-established science in botany. However, species identification from seeds has largely been unexplored, despite the fact that the seeds contain all of the genetic information that distinguishes one plant from another. Using seeds of genus Datura plants, we show here that the mass spectrum-derived chemical f...

As part of an island-wide project to identify and eradicate potentially invasive plant species before they become established, a program of inventories is being carried out in the urban and agricultural zones of the four inhabited islands in Galapagos. This study reports the results of the inventory from Puerto Villamil, a coastal village representing the urban zone of Isabela Island. We visite...

Brine shrimp (Artemia salina) cytotoxicity assays (BSLT) are one of the commonly used cytotoxic test methods to assess a plant extract's pharmacological activity and toxicity. Thus, this study aimed examine toxic levels Kecubung (Datura metel) leaves extracted using different solvents, namely ethanol ethyl acetate. The results showed that LC50 value flower ethanol, acetate, leaf stem acetate ex...
