Objective: Reactive oxygen species and free radicals generate oxidative stress in the living cells associated with number of chronic diseases. Current research is directed towards finding naturally occurring antioxidants of plant origin. Hence, this study was aimed to determine phytochemical analysis, antioxidant and free radical scavenging potential of ethanolic seed extract of Trachyspermum a...

Objective: The objective of the study was to carry out phytochemical profiling essential oils (EOs) and evaluation their anti-microbial activity. Methods: EOs extracted from Cumminum cyminum, Zingiber officinale, Trachyspermum ammi, Alipnia galanga, Cedrus deodara, Elettaria cardamomum using clavenger apparatus. Phytochemical analysis high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) fingerpri...

The potential of different medicinal species as alternative crops for saline conditions needs to be explored. Comparative physiological responses germinating seeds and mature plants three genotypes anise (Pimpinella anisum L.), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.), ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi L.) salt were studied in a 2-year field experiment using 0 100 mcM, laboratory 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 mM N...

Elevated atmospheric CO2 (eCO2) can significantly enhance plant metabolism and improve their nutritional quality. Although several studies addressed the effect of eCO2 on plants, to our knowledge, there are no that have applied growth, chemical composition, biological properties ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi) during sprouting. Herein, (620 µmol mol?1) was employed photosynthetic reactions. Improve...

This study was performed to investigate effect of essential oils on Aspergillus spore germination, growth, and mycotoxin production. In vitro antifungal and antiaflatoxigenic activities of Cymbopogon martinii, Foeniculum vulgare, and Trachyspermum ammi essential oils were carried out on toxigenic strains of Aspergillus species. Plant materials were hydrodistilled for 4-5 h in Clevenger apparatu...

The present study was aimed to document detailed ethnopharmacological knowledge of medicinal plants against livestock infections of an unexplored remote region of Pakistan. Semistructured questionnaires were used for data collection. Total 43 plants belonging to 26 families were found to be used in ethnoveterinary practices. Seeds (29%) were found to be the most frequent plant part used followe...
