Aralia - plant adaptogens

Plant adaptogens. III. Earlier and more recent aspects and concepts on their mode of action.

Stimulus-response coupling systems responsible for defence and adaptation of organism to stressors are multi-target and very complicated pharmacological systems, including the neuroendocrine (stress) and immune system. The mode of action of adaptogens is basically associated with the stress-system (neuroendocrine-immune complex) and can be directed on the various targets of the system involved ...

Stress, Adaptogens and Their Evaluation: An Overview

All organisms are in a state of dynamic equilibrium or homeostasis which is constantly challenged by internal/external aversive stimuli called stressors. Stress occur when such homeostasis is threatened and a set of physiological and behavioral adaptive responses come into play. These coordinated adaptive responses enhance the probability of survival. Such stress responses are mediated by the s...

Response of False Aralia Plant to Gibberellic Acid and Benzyladenine Application

False aralia (Dizygothecaelegantissima) also known as spider aralia or threadleaf aralia, is grown for its attractive foliage. The long, narrow, dark green leaves with saw-tooth edges are coppery colored at first, but as they mature they turn dark green, appearing almost black on some plants. Field trials with False aralia (Dizigotheecaelegantissima) were conducted at the experimental greenhous...
