AIM OF THE STUDY Evaluations of the anti-snake venom efficacy of Mimosa pudica tannin isolate (MPT) obtained from root of the plant. MATERIALS AND METHOD MPT was investigated in vitro and in vivo for its efficacy against the venom of Naja kaouthia snake. RESULTS In vitro: (1) mice injected i.p. with MPT pre-incubated with Naja kaouthia venom at concentrations as low as 0.625 mg/ml showed 10...

Mimosa pudica is a medicinal plant worthy of therapeutic properties. It often overlooked as one the weed species, and potential was underappreciated despite its abundance in nature, particularly tropical climate countries. Considering aptitude this micropropagation protocol M. revisited enhanced. The seed surface sterilization germination were assessed, followed by shoot multiplication rate roo...

Allelopathy is a phenomenon in which plant produces allelochemicals that affect neighboring plants' growth and physiological processes. This study aimed to investigate the allelopathic effect of Eichhornia crassipes on Mimosa pudica seedlings. The experiment was conducted pot, where M. seedlings were irrigated with aqueous leaf extract E. at 5, 10 15% (w/v) concentrations once week for four con...

This article provides an overview of the early Mimosa pudica literature; much of which is in journals not easily accessible to the reader. In contrast to the contemporary plant learning literature which is conducted primarily by plant biologists, this early literature was conducted by comparative psychologists whose goal was to search for the generality of learning phenomena such as habituation...

14 INSILICO AND INVITRO STUDY OF MIMOSA PUDICA AND THE BACTERICIDAL ACTIVITY OF ITS PHYTOCOMPOUND MIMOSINE AGAINST METHICILLIN RESISTANT STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (MRSA) Sulochana somasundaram1, Vishnupriya S2 Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering, Sriperumbudur, Chennai Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Many pathogenic bacteria has developed resistance to all classe...

cDNAs encoding aquaporins PIP1;1, PIP2;1, and TIP1;1 were isolated from Mimosa pudica (Mp) cDNA library. MpPIP1;1 exhibited no water channel activity; however, it facilitated the water channel activity of MpPIP2;1 in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. Mutagenesis analysis revealed that Ser-131 of MpPIP1;1 was phosphorylated by PKA and that cooperative regulation of the water channel activity o...

Blood pressure lowering effect of Mimosa pudica induced by dieresis was reported earlier. As a diuretic it enhances urine outflow, decreases plasma volume, venous return; and thereby, reduce blood pressure. Besides the agent, some other substance may also be present in pudica. Present study undertaken to reveal presence antioxidants nitrite extract, which help Methanolic extract (using 80% meth...
