Plantago L. genus (Plantaginaceae) includes a large number of species differing in salt tolerance; many of them are adapted to live in saline environments, thus making the genus Plantago a good model for comparative studies about responses to salinity stress (1). Plantago genus includes species well-known as medicinal plants and others can be used for food and animal feeding (P. coronopus, P. l...

A common, recurring theme in domesticated plants is the occurrence of pear-shaped fruit. A major quantitative trait locus (termed ovate) controlling the transition from round to pear-shaped fruit has been cloned from tomato. OVATE is expressed early in flower and fruit development and encodes a previously uncharacterized, hydrophilic protein with a putative bipartite nuclear localization signal...

in the present research work, influence of fleawort (plantago ovate l.) seed hydrocolloid at three concentration level (0.1, 0.15 and 0.2%) was investigated on physicochemical, textural and sensory characteristics of low fat yoghurt. the treated yoghurt samples were compared with a positive (3% fat) and negative (0.2%) control sample after 1, 7 and 15 days of storage. fleawort seed hydrocolloid...
