The aim of this study was to determine the level of heavy metals such as copper, iron, manganese, zinc, lead, nickel, cadmium and chromium concentrated in Juglans regia bark and leaf samples from different localities in Artvin, Turkey. Analysis of the heavy metals Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Pb, Ni, Cd and Cr in samples was carried out by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES; P...

Preplanting treatment of soil naturally infested with Macroposthonia xenoplax with 1,2-dibromoethane (ethylene dibromide) significantly increased the growth rate of Juglans hindsii seedlings. When seedlings of J. hindsii, J. regia CV "Serf" and J. regia CV Eureka were inoculated with M. xenoplax, their growth was signilicantly less than that of nematode-free controls. This retarded growth rate ...

Screening for tolerance of additional seedling types was continued on a reduced scale. J. nigra seedlings from 3 sources were no different than those of J. hindsii. ~. californica seedlings (1 source) had slightly greater average tolerance than those of J. hindsii. Single comparisons indicated no difference between J. honorei and J. hindsii and only a suggestion that 11anregian seedlings (1 sou...

OBJECTIVES Juglans (J.) regia L. is known to possess many biological properties. In this study, antihemolytic activity of methanol extract of Juglans regia L. flower were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Antihemolytic activities of Juglans regia L. flowers were evaluated by various in vitro assays. In addition, scavenging of hydrogen peroxide and mineral contents of flowers were determined...

BACKGROUND Juglans regia leaves have been used in folk medicine to alleviate inflammatory diseases. This study investigates the antinociceptive, anti-Inflammatory and acute toxicity effects of Juglans regia L. leaves in mice. METHODS 351 Male and female albino mice were divided into negative (saline), positive (morphine or diclofenac) controls as well as test groups (n=6-8). The acute (intrap...

this study was carried out to investigate the important characteristics in some cultivars/genotypes of persianwalnut (juglans regia l.), black walnut (j. nigra l.), and walnut inter-specific hybrids: paradox (j. hindsii × j.regia) and royal (j. hindsii × j. nigra) in kamalshahr research station in karaj in 2011-2012. in the study,vegetative vigor was evaluated based on trunk cross-sectional are...

The aqueous extracts (15 micrograms ml-1 medium) of 22 plants used in folkloric medicine in Palestine were investigated for their antifungal activity and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) against nine isolates of Microsporum canis, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton violaceum. The extract of the different plant species reduced colony growth of the three dermatophytes by 36 to 1...

Common walnut (Juglans regia L) is an economically important species cultivated worldwide for its wood and nuts. It is generally accepted that J. regia survived and grew spontaneously in almost completely isolated stands in its Asian native range after the Last Glacial Maximum. Despite its natural geographic isolation, J. regia evolved over many centuries under the influence of human management...
