Moringa oleifera is an interesting plant for its use in bioactive compounds. In this manuscript, we review studies concerning the cultivation and production of moringa along with genetic diversity among different accessions and populations. Different methods of propagation, establishment and cultivation are discussed. Moringa oleifera shows diversity in many characters and extensive morphologic...

BERLINER, ., and TORREY, J. G. 1989. On tripartite Frankia-mycorrhizal associations in the Myricaceae. Can. J. Bot. 67: 1708-1712. Actinomycorrhizal symbiosis was studied in Comptonia peregrina (L.) Coult. and in Myrica gale L., both of the Myricaceae. Root nodules were common in all Comptonia plants in their natural habitats and in pot cultures under greenhouse conditions. Spontaneous actinorh...

Aims: To evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of Vitex negundo Linn. and Moringa oleifera Lam. In paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Materials and Methods: Liver damage was induced in 42 albino rats by paracetamol (1 g/kg P.O.) once daily for a period of 7 days. Silymarin was taken as the standard drug in a dose of 25 mg/kg P.O. Albino Wistar rats (150-200 g) were divided into groups...

Schistosoma mansoni cercariae were removed from clear and turbid water by flocculation with Sudanese bentonite clays, with Moringa oleifera seeds as well as with pure bentonite. The flocculation technique employed corresponds to that used to clarify Nile water in Sudanese villages. Moringa seeds, pure bentonite and one type of bentonite clay were able to reduce the number of cercariae by more t...

Low calcium intake, poor calcium absorption, excessive calcium losses, or some combination of these factors contribute to calcium deficiency diseases. Calcium insufficiency is associated with osteoporosis, hypertension and colon cancer among other diseases. For individuals who do not have access to milk and dairy products, do not tolerate them, or prefer not to consume them, plants may be alter...

Purpose. To reveal the raw material potential of representatives genus Paeonia L. introduced in M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden Academy Sciences Ukraine (NBG) terms content biologically active compounds.
 Methods. Introduced plants Paeonia: P. lactiflora Pall., officinalis and its hybrid forms: ‘Rubra Plena’, F1 (P. ‘Rub­ra Plena’ ´ peregrina Mill.), cultivar NBG ‘Kvazimodo’ ‘M-lle Je...

The effects of replacing wheat flour with 0-15% debittered moringa seed (DBMS) flour on the dough rheology of wheat flour and physical, sensory and chemical properties of bread were studied. Incorporation of an increasing amount of DBMS from 0 to 15% decreased farinograph water absorption, dough stability, amylograph peak viscosity and overall quality of bread. The bread with 10% DBMS had a typ...

A rapid method has been developed for the quantitative estimation of β-sitosterol, total phenolic and flavonoid compounds present in the leaves of Moringa oleifera Lam. (Family: Moringaceae). The hydroalcoholic extract of the leaves was subjected for the quantitative estimation of these compounds. The hydroalcoholic extract of the leaves of Moringa oleifera was prepared by the process of cold m...
