During April-June 2010, red two-spotted carmine spider mites Tetranychus urticae Koch (Trombidiformes: Tetranychidae) were found on aerial apical parts of Ashwagandha Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal (Solanales: Solanaceae) plants in the Amritsar District of Punjab Province in the North Indian plains. The mites fed on the leaves, making them shiny white in color, which gradually dried off and were...

Introduction: ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an important medicinal plant in Indian traditional system of medicine and traditionally has been used for several medicinal purposes in India. the present study was conducted to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of hydroalcoholic extract of ashwagandha against denaturation of protein in vitro. Methods: The test extract at different concentra...

Lendometriose perineale correspond a la presence de tissu endometrial au niveau du perinee superficiel, le plus souvent sur une cicatrice depisiotomie ou dechirure obstetricale. Le diagnostic preoperatoire repose lIRMet sera confirme par analyse histologique pour excluretoute autre tumeur. traitement medical avec les analogues GnRH est inefficace. reste chirurgical et consiste en unelarge resec...

The zero-forcing (ZF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) based detectors can approach optimal performance in the uplink of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. However, they require inverting a matrix whose complexity is cubic relation to dimension. This lead high computational effort, especially MIMO To mitigate this, several iterative methods have been proposed literature....

Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal (Indian ginseng, winter cherry, Solanaceae) is widely used in traditional medicine. Roots are either chewed or used to prepare beverages (aqueous decocts). The major secondary metabolites of Withania somnifera are the withanolides, which are C-28-steroidal lactone triterpenoids. Withania somnifera extracts exert chemopreventive and anticancer activities in vitro an...

BACKGROUND Glycowithanolides (Withaferin A), is one of the main withanolides active principle isolated from plant Withania somnifera and is claimed that it possess the aphrodisiac, sedative, rejuvenate and life prolonging properties. OBJECTIVE In the present investigation, antioxidant activity of active principles of Withania somnifera was tested against D-galactose induced oxidative stress i...

Withania somnifera is one of the most valuable medicinal plants used in Ayurvedic and other indigenous medicine systems due to bioactive molecules known as withanolides. As genomic information regarding this plant is very limited, little information is available about biosynthesis of withanolides. To facilitate the basic understanding about the withanolide biosynthesis pathways, we performed tr...

background urinary tract infections (uti) caused by resistant bacteria are becoming more prevalent. the spread of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (esbl)-producing bacteria worldwide has become a serious public health issue among healthcare centers and in the community. drugs and many secondary metabolites from medicinal plants have proved to be economical and effective against many pathogens. ...

INTRODUCTION It has long been known (e.g. Warkany & Schraffenberger, 1947; Wilson, 1949; Russell & Russell, 1954; Russell, 1957) that X-irradiation can phenocopy mutation and that in mice (Russell, 1950) there are sensitive periods during embryonic development for the production of these effects. It has also been known (Van Scott & Reinertson, 1957) that X-irradiation of adult mouse hair follic...
