to investigate the influence of salinity and calcium (ca) on some properties of plantago ovata, a pot factorialexperiment based on randomized complete block design with three replicates was conducted in jiroft, south of kermanprovince, iran. three salinity levels of 0, 100 and 200 mm nacl and ca levels of 0, 5 and 10 mm calcium nitrate wereapplied as the first and second factors, respectively. ...

Mucilage extracted from Plantago psyllium seeds was evaluated for inertness and safety parameters. The suitability of psyllium mucilage for a pharmaceutical binder was assessed in paracetamol tablets. Properties of the granules prepared using different concentrations of psyllium mucilage was compared with PVP and tragacanth. Psyllium mucilage at 5 % (m/m) was found to be comparable with 3 % (m/...

The Arabidopsis seed coat epidermis undergoes a complex process of differentiation that includes the biosynthesis and secretion of large quantities of pectinaceous mucilage, cytoplasmic rearrangement, and secondary cell wall biosynthesis. Mutations in MUM4 (MUCILAGE-MODIFIED4) lead to a decrease in seed coat mucilage and incomplete cytoplasmic rearrangement. We show that MUM4 encodes a putative...

BACKGROUND Marine snow (small amorphous aggregates with colloidal properties) is present in all oceans of the world. Surface water warming and the consequent increase of water column stability can favour the coalescence of marine snow into marine mucilage, large marine aggregates representing an ephemeral and extreme habitat. Marine mucilage characterize aquatic systems with altered environment...

THE dispersed cellulose component which is found in white mustard seed mucilage [Bailey and Norris, 1932] and in quince seed mucilage [Schmidt, 1844; Kirchner and Tollens, 1874; Renfrew and Cretcher, 1932] has now been obtained from the mucilage of cress seed, Lepidium sativum. The present communication, which deals mainly with the chemistry of this seed mucilage, falls into three sections: (1)...

in order to evaluate the response of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the isabgol (plantago ovata frosk.) medicinal plant to separate and combined application of urea and biofertilizer an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design at the research farm of shahrekord university in 2011. the experimental treatments consisted of control (no urea and biological fer...

Three salinity levels of 0, 100 and 200 mM NaCl and Ca levels of 0, 5 and 10 mM Calcium nitrate wereapplied as the first and second factors, respectively. ...

Buccoadhesive drug delivery systems have distinct advantages in comparison with oral administration. Plant exudates like gum or mucilage are being studied for their use as pharmaceutical adjuvant. The aim of this study is to evaluate the properties of the Plantago major seed mucilage as a mucoadhesive agent and propranolol hydrochloride is chosen as a model drug. Mucoadhesive tablets of propran...

SO4 has been used to investigate the production of extracellular mucilage by log-phase cells. Uptake of isotope occurs most rapidly in the light, when cells are actively dividing. The mucilage comprises about 50 % carbohydrate, 16% protein and 10 % sulphate. The major sugar is xylose; uronic acid, a small amount of galactose, glucose (trace) and 2 reducing substances are also present. Methylati...
