The broadleaf vegetables require large amounts of nutrients to provide a high productivity, and quality products, mainly due their short period development growth. green manuring has emerged as viable alternative these requirements for vegetables, from spontaneous species in the Caatinga biome. Thus, aim this study was evaluate estimate maximum physical economic efficiencies lettuce arugula agr...

The thermal behavior of the biodegradable Calotropis procera (CP) particle-reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposites was investigated. injection molding process used to make composites, and CP particle weight percentage varied during (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%). melt flow index, heat deflection temperature, Vicat softening point, properties composites were determined using dynamic mechanical t...

demographic toxicology is a common method for an investigation of the sub lethal effects of pesticides on natural enemies. the present study was conducted to evaluate the side effects of the extracts of calotropis procera (willd.) r. br. (asclepiadaceae), teucrium polium l. (labiatae), fumaria parviflora lam. (fumariaceae) and thymus vulgaris l. (labiatae) in comparison with three pesticides: h...

Abstract: Aim: Due to the urgent need for anticancer agents, investigation of endophytes medicinal plants growing in special environments is considered a promising approach search bioactive natural products. Materials and Methods: The ethyl acetate extracts cultures twelve endophytic fungi were isolated from Calotropis procera fam Apocynaceae, Solanum nigrum Solanaceae Forsskaolea tenacissima U...

Anti-tumor potential of root extracts of Calotropis procera: methanolic extract (CM), hexane extract (CH), aqueous extract (CW) and ethylacetate extract (CE) and its possible mechanism against Hep2 cancer cells has been investigated. Cellular proliferation activities were assayed by tetrazolium bromide (MTT) colorimetry. Morphological changes of cancer cells were observed under inverted microsc...

The present study reports the antioxidant and membrane protective activities of Calotropis procera aqueous root extract using several in vitro assays along with the determination of phenolic as well as flavonoid contents. Total phenol and flavonoid contents in extract were 15.67 ± 1.52 mg propyl gallate equivalent/g and 1.62 ± 0.05 mg quercetin equivalent/g, respectively. UV-visual spectroscopi...

Antibiotic resistance among bacteria is becoming a major problem in the treatment of many infections. Hence, there is need to find an alternative way by using medicinal plants to overcome the antibiotic resistance and source of novel drug for the treatment of these bacterial diseases. This work aimed at evaluating the possibility of applying hexane extracts of Allium sativum bulbs, Calotropis p...
