Frequent cultivation is often used to control weeds in crops such as lettuce. The efficacy of this technique on weed populations has been evaluated, but the effect emergence and seedbanks less documented. Studies mineral soil indicate that disturbance can increase both seed persistence depending where seeds are redistributed profile. Evaluations done muck scarce. This study evaluated two four r...

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...

The phenolic content, antioxidant, antitumor, and enzyme inhibitory activities of commonly used medicinal herbs from a Unani system of medicine were investigated using four different extraction methods. Among the plants studied, the Hyssopus officinalis L, Origanum vulgare L, and Portulaca oleracea L. extracts showed the highest amount of total phenolics (64.40, 60.35, and 58.81 mg GAE/g) and r...

The main purpose of the two consecutive experimental studies presented here was to compare effect salinity on nutrients in leaves halophytic plant species Portulaca oleracea L. and soil. first experiment conducted study growth, biomass accumulation, yield, root layer development, salt dynamics changes mineral substances plants In second experiment, P. seeds were sown directly into salinized soi...

Objective: Previous studies indicated anti-inflammatory effects for Portulaca oleracea in various inflammatory disorders. In this study, the effects of P. oleracea on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) levels of total protein (TP), Phospholipase A2(PLA2) and IgE in sensitized rats were examined. Materials and Methods: Male rats were randomly divided into six groups namely, control (group C), s...

The flavonoid apigenin was isolated from aerial part of P. oleracea L. The dried sample of plant was powdered and subjected to soxhlet extractor by adding 80 mL of ethanol : water (70 : 30). The extract was centrifuged at 11000 rpm for 30 min; supernatant was taken for further use. The fraction was concentrated and subjected to PTLC. The R f value of isolated apigenin was calculated (0.82). Pur...

This study was designed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of 70% ethanolic crude extract of Portulaca oleracea L on mice mammary adenocarcinoma (in vivo). In vivo, the acute toxicity of 70 % ethanolic extract of the plant on normal mice has been studied. No toxic effect was noticed on normal mice even at 9500 mg /kg B.W S/C injection. Therapeutic effect of ethanolic extract of Portulaca olerac...
