The essential oils of branchlets and fruits of Juniperus excelsa subsp. excelsa and Juniperus excelsa subsp. polycarpos were examined for their antioxidant activity. The compositions of the essential oils were studied by GC and GC-MS. To evaluation the antioxidants activity of the volatile oils, pure components and positive controls at different concentrations, thin-layer chromatography (TLC) s...

Shiikuwasha (Citrus depressa Hayata) is distributed from the South-west of the Japanese archipelago to Taiwan. In this study, re-sequencing against the orange (C. sinensis (L.) Osbeck) chloroplast genome was applied to one superior landrace of Shiikuwasha cultivated in Oku ward, Okinawa, Japan. The chloroplast genome of the landrace was estimated to comprise 160,118 bp, including 48 indels and ...

Objective: Natural ingredients derived from plants (especially edible ones) continue to be investigated for understanding whether they have therapeutic/preventive effects on certain ailments, such as cancer and gastrointestinal disorders. The main goal of the current work is investigate inhibitory potential Eremurus spectabilis M. Bieb. extracts histone deacetylase (HDAC), xanthine oxidase (XO)...

antimicrobial activity of the polar and nonpolar extracts of the roots and aerial parts of peucedanum ruthenicum m. bieb., johreniopsis seseloides (c. a. mey.) pimenov and cervaria cervariifolia (c. a. mey.) pimenov were examined against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. the polar extracts of the roots and aerial parts displayed no activity against bacteria, while the nonoplar extracts ...
