This study concerns diploid chromosome numbers and karyotype analysis of nine species belonging to four sections (Vicilla, Cracca, Variegata and Anatropostylia) of the subgenus Vicilla of the genus Vicia (Fabaceae). The chromosome numbers of Vicia alpestris subsp. hypoleuca, V. aucheri, V. ciceroideae, V. gariensis, V. iranica, V. koeieana, V. rechingeri, V. sojakii and V. venulosa are reported...

this project was conducted to study the taxonomy of tribe vicieae based on morphological characters. the specimens were collected from different parts of khorassan, and after identification they were preserved at ferdowsi university of mashhad herbarium (fumh). diagnostic keys and a complete list of distribution regions for all species of this tribe in khorassan were presented. cicer kermanense...

Plants collected from Limpopo province of South Africa were investigated for their antioxidative potential using the DPPH radical scavenging assay. Acetone extracts of Flueggea virosa had the highest antioxidant activity with an IC₅₀ value of 30 µg/ml, closely matching the ascorbic acid with an IC₅₀ value of 25 µg/ml. The lowest antioxidant readings were observed with extracts of Rhynchosia ven...

Parapharyngodon duniae n. sp. (Nematoda: Pharyngodonidae) in the large intestine of the veined tree frog, Phrynohyas venulosa, from the Area de Conservación Guanacaste in northwestern Costa Rica is described and illustrated. Parapharyngodon duniae n. sp. represents the 34th species assigned to the genus, the 10th species from the Neotropical Realm, and only the third species to parasitize anura...

Mitotic root micronucleus (MCN) frequency in Vicia faba as a bioassay, is primarily based on the extent of the sentinel Vicia response in terms of cytogenetic damage quantitatively or qualitatively to indicate the presence of mutagenic contaminants. This paper describes an investigation designed to assess changes in MCN frequencies of Vicia faba from three generation plants obtained, respective...

Haemolytic favism is a severe, acute anaemia which occurs in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficient individuals, usually following the ingestion of Vicia faba seeds. Current interest is focused on the nature of the active substances of Vicia faba and on the causes of the varying susceptibility among G6PD-deficient individuals to episodes of severe haemolysis. The results of experiments in ...
