Ceratonia siliqua L. (carob) was found in Mediterranean region and many Arab countries and have many medical uses. The antimicrobial, antioxidant, cytotoxicity and hypoglycemic activities were determined. The extract of organic solvents, n-butanol, ethyl acetate, methanol and chloroform and the water extracts of Ceratonia siliqua leaves were evaluated. The microbial activity of Ceratonia siliqu...

INTRODUCTION fibromyalgia is a chronic disease characterized by generalized pain, stiffness, poor physical conditioning, non-restorative sleep and poor health-related quality of life. Ganoderma lucidum a type of mushroom that has demonstrated several benefits in different populations. Ceratonia siliqua is a natural therapy rich in antioxidants with potential benefits on health. OBJECTIVE to e...

Recent studies have shown that, in some species, xylem hydraulic conductivity (K(h)) increases with increasing cation concentration of xylem sap. Evidence indicates that K(h) increases as a result of the de-swelling of pit membrane pectins caused by cation neutralization of polygalacturonanes. We tested whether this ionic effect partly compensates for the embolism-induced loss of stem hydraulic...

Carob tree ( Ceratonia siliqua L.) is an agro-sylvo-pastoral species that has been classified among the most efficient trees. The first publications on " in-vitro multiplication of are very recent and show conflicting results. Mastery this technique seems necessary to provide increased demand international market for gum extracted from endosperm seed, a polyoside called galactomannan. This work...

Mature seeds of carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) were germinated on hormone free MS medium. Efforts were made to develop multiple shoots by using axillary buds of in vitro grown seedlings on MS medium fortified with different concentrations of BA singly and BA in combination with IAA or GA3. Axillary buds produced single shoot with a moderate amount of callus at the base of the explant after c...

Carob leaves (Ceratonia siliqua L.), grown in Egypt have not fully identified in Egypt. Therefore, eight major phenolic compounds were isolated from the aqueous ethanolic extract using different methods of chromatography; gallic acid, quercetin 3-O-4C1-B-D-glucoside (Isoquercetin), Kaempferol 3-O1C4-"-Lrhamnoside (Afzelin), Quercetin 3-O-1C4-"-L-rhamnoside (Quercitrin), 1,2,6 tri-O-galloyl-B-D4...
