Methanolic and aqueous extracts of Dendrophthoe falcata Linn. leaves which belongs to the Loranthaceae family, were evaluated through DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl -2-picryl-hydrazyl), antilipid peroxidation and nitric oxide scavenging methods to assess the antioxidant activity. Methanolic and aqueous extracts of Dendrophthoe falcata leaves were also evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity by carr...

a hydroponics study was carried out in order to understand the behavior of antioxidant enzymes, soluble protein content and its effect on cell death in different old leaves of durum wheat. two month after planting, the different old leaves were sampled and the activity of super oxide dismutase (sod), catalase, ascorbat peroxidase and guaiacol peroxidase were measured. furthermore, the rate of c...

Saline soils occupy about 7% of the earth land surface, an extent portion of such soil are not arable due to very high level of salinity. The objectives of this study were to obtain information about the effect of salt content of irrigated water on growth, anatomical changes and alkaloid production in pomegranate trees. The result reported that, salinity of the irrigated water, with 800, 1200, ...

this study was carried out in the general commission for scientific agricultural research (gcsar) at der ez zour agricultural research center, during 2009- 2010 growing seasons. the role of na+, k+, na+/k+, carbohydrates accumulation of leaves, and sugar content of roots on the osmotic adjustment was studied in 10 sugar beet genotypes (five were monogerms and five were multigerms), under salini...

water stress effects on winter and spring leaves anatomy were investigated in experiments conducted at the experimental field of sb university of kerman using five wheat cultivars.xylem and phloem elements diameter and mesophyll, bundle sheath and epidermal cells area were measured in transverse sections prepared from middle parts of the leaves. results showed that significant difference exists...

the adsorption properties and mechanics of selected endocrine disrupting compounds; 17 β-estradiol, 17 α – ethinylestradiol and bisphenol a on locally available black tea leaves waste and granular activated carbon were investigated. the results obtained indicated that the kinetics of adsorption were ph, adsorbent dose, contact time and temperature dependent with equilibrium being reached at 20 ...

The fig tree (Ficus carica L.) was one of the first domesticated trees. In 2019, world’s fruit production estimated at 1153 tons. However, leaves are not utilized, resulting in copious quantities bio-waste. To identify promising varieties, hydroethanolic extracts were prepared from five varieties (Pasteliere—PA, Longue d’Aout—LA, Dauphinie—DA, Boujassote Noire—BN, and Marseille—MA). variety wit...
