Genetic Diversity of Avicennia Marina in Costal Ecosystems Southern Iran Based on Molecular Markers and Morphological Characteristics

OBJECTIVE(S) Regarding the presence of many active biological constituents in Avicennia marina, the present investigation was carried out to study cytotoxic activity of crude methanol leave extract and column chromatographic fractions of A. marina against MDA-MB 231 cell line (human breast cancer cell) and HEK (Human embryonic kidney cell) line. MATERIALS AND METHODS The anticancer activity o...

in vitro assessment of the antifungal activities was evaluated in the present study for both aqueous and ethanol extracts prepared from leaves of avicennia marina and rhizophora mucronata . leaves of mangrove species were collected from qeshm and syrik of south-east coast of iran, mangrove forest respectively. antimicrobial tests were carried out through disk diffusion method. minimum fungicida...

Abstract: A diverse array of bioactive compounds have been isolated and characterized from the mangrove plant Avicennia marina and its endophytes. Extensive chemical investigations of the different parts (barks, leaves, twigs, etc.) of the mangrove plant A. marina and its endophytes (mainly endophytic fungi) resulted in the reporting of the isolation of 123 compounds, and most of them are new o...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Successive vascular cambia are involved in the secondary growth of at least 200 woody species from >30 plant families. In the mangrove Avicennia these successive cambia are organized in patches, creating stems with non-concentric xylem tissue surrounded by internal phloem tissue. Little is known about radial growth and tree stem dynamics in trees with this type of anatomy. T...

Four new jacaranone analogs, marinoids F-I (1-4), were isolated from the fruits of a Beibu Gulf mangrove Avicennia marina. The structures were elucidated based on analysis of spectroscopic data. Marinoids F and G are shown to be diastereoisomers of chlorocornoside, a new halogen containing marine secondary metabolite. The antioxidant activity of the isolates was evaluated using a cellular antio...
