Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) a plant that has been clinically tested potential to prevent treat as well pathogenic pathophysiological activities cause disease. aim this study discuss conclude information regarding activity use purslane (P. oleracea) an antimetabolic. This review article base...

Pot experiments were conducted to study the allelopathic effect of Datura stramonium residue on germination and growth characters purslane (Portulaca oleracea L). Experiments set as completely randomized design with four treatments three replications. Results indicated that concentration affect negatively. The lower level induced a stimulatory plant height, leaf area, shoot root, fresh dry weig...

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) is a fleshy herbaceous plant. So far, little information is available on the response of this plant to combined drought and heat stress. In this study, changes in physiological and metabolic levels were characterized after treatments with drought, heat and combined stresses. Both individual and combined stress treatments increased malondialdehyde (MDA), electrol...

Common purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) is an annual weed rich in omega-3 fatty acids which is consumed for its edible leaves and stems. In the present study six different genotypes of common purslane (A-F) were evaluated for their nutritional value and chemical composition. Nutritional value and chemical composition depended on genotype. Oxalic acid content was the lowest for genotype D, where...

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the pharmacological effects of Portulaca oleracea L. (Purslane) (PL) on N-nitrosodiethylamine- (NDEA-) induced hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) and explore its potential mechanism. Mice were randomly assigned to four groups: control group, NDEA group, NDEA + Purslane (100 mg/kg) group, and NDEA + Purslane (200 mg/kg) group. The animal of each grou...

Background & Aim: Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.), belongs to the Portulacaceace family, grows in many parts of Iran. Results of previous studies were indicated purslane is a rich source of essential fatty acids of omega-3 and omega-6.  Portulaca oleracea is a widespread weed, being the eighth common plants of the world. The Aim of current study was to compare the essential f...

Common purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) seeds show light-controlled dormancy. Ribosome profiles from dark-incubated seeds consist of 22 to 26% polysomes. Light induces germination and stimulates polysome formation during the 12-hour lag period preceding radicle protrusion. Polysome levels increase to 29, 35, and 41% with exposure to 3, 6, and 9 hours of light, respectively. Although polysomes f...
