This study compared the total flavonoid content of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. leaf and root extracts. Results suggested that the total flavonoid content in the leaf extract was obviously higher than that in the root extract. Pinocembrin, the main compound in the leaf extract after purification by column chromatography, showed good antioxidant activity and nitrite scavenging capacity, but moderate in...

Crude and purified extracts of non edible seed.of Pongamia glabra ( Karanja) were tested for their toxicity growth and development against the 2 instar larvae of the American bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) a serious pest of cotton. Larvae reared on synthetic diet at concentrations of 1 and 0.5% of P. glabra exhibited 100% mortality, whereas at sublethal concentrations of 0.05% and 0.01...

The 18S rDNA sequences of the six most common European Lymnaeidae species (Mollusca:Gastropoda:Basommatophora) have been obtained by direct PCR cycle sequencing and silver staining methods. The sequence alignment and secondary structures of the 18S rRNA gene of Lymnaea stagnalis, L. auricularia, L. peregra, L. palustris, L. glabra, and L. truncatula are analyzed. This gene proves to be a good m...
