The objective of the field experiment was to evaluate agronomic performance and nutritive values brachiaria grass in response cultivars, soil type, fertilizer application. A randomized complete block design containing three replications with factors (fertilizer, types) used. cultivars were Brachiaria mutica, hybrid Mulato-II, Mulato-I, birzantha Marandu, La liberated. root splits means propagat...

Uridine-cytidine kinase 2 is an enzyme that is overexpressed in abnormal cell growth and its implication is considered a hallmark of cancer. Due to the selective expression of UCK2 in cancer cells, a selective inhibition of this key enzyme necessitates the discovery of its potential inhibitors for cancer chemotherapy. The present study was carried out to demonstrate the potentials of natural ph...

In a male-based revision of ants of the subfamily Amblyoponinae from the Southwest Indian Ocean islands (SWIO: Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mayotte, Reunion, and Seychelles), we explore and reconsider male morphological characters that distinguish genera within the group. Our investigation redefines Amblyopone Erichson sensu Brown (1960), here referred to as Amblyopone sensu lato, into three...

THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: (E)-1-(2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one], C(17)H(16)O(4), has an aromatic ring at both ends of the -CH= CH-C(=O)- fragment with the -CH=CH- bond in a trans configuration. The phenyl ring is nearly coplanar with this fragment [dihedral angle 4.8 (3) °] as is the hy-droxy-ldimeth-oxy-lphenyl unit [dihedral angle 6.3 (3) °]. The hy-droxy g...

  Background: Satureja mutica (Lamiaceae) is an herbaceous plant which grows in North-West of Iran. Oleanolic acid has been previously isolated from some Lamiaceae genus and showed a broad range of biological activities. Besides Silphium spp., Panax quinquefolium root and Calendula officinalis flower as the interesting source of oleanolic acid used in the herbal industry, here we report the iso...
