Plantago L. genus (Plantaginaceae) includes a large number of species differing in salt tolerance; many of them are adapted to live in saline environments, thus making the genus Plantago a good model for comparative studies about responses to salinity stress (1). Plantago genus includes species well-known as medicinal plants and others can be used for food and animal feeding (P. coronopus, P. l...

The aim of this study is to review the traditional application, botanical characterization, pharmacological activities, phytochemistry effects and toxicity of Plantago major. In this review study, medicinal properties of Plantago major are collected from credibl...

in order to evaluate the effect of different levels of salinity and three nitrogen nutrition on biochemical reactions and changes in dry weight of shoot and root on psyllium (plantago ovata f.), a glasshouse experiment in a complete randomized design with three replications in 2009 at university of zabol was conducted. salinity treatments in this experiment were 0, 100 and 200 mm of nacl and ni...

management of chemical fertilizers application is very important issues on environment and plant yield especially in arid and-semi arid region. in order to determine the effects of drought stresses and fertilizer levels on quantity and quality yields of psyllium (plantago ovata l.), a study was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with four replications at the natur...

The study was carried out to determine the in vitro effect of Plantago major extract on calcium oxalate crystals and to compare the effects of Plantago major extract with clinically used drugs like allopurinol and potassium citrate (positive controls). Modified Schneider slide gel method was used for the in vitro study and the crystals formed were measured by Image Analyser system KS 300, 3.0 C...
