The objective of the study was to assess the growth contributing characters of biofield treated bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) and okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) seeds. The seeds of both crops were divided into two groups, one was kept aside and denoted as untreated, while the other group was subjected biofield energy treatment. The variabilities in growth contributing parameters were studie...

Purpose: To develop a safe mucoadhesive gel for nasal drug delivery using okra polysaccharide. Methods: Rizatriptan benzoate nasal gel was developed using natural polysaccharide obtained from the Abelmoschus esculentus. The gel formulation was characterized for pH, viscosity, mucoadhesion, and in vitro permeation. Permeation parameters obtained include drug flux (j), permeation coefficient (kP)...

To investigate effects of putrescine (Put) and humic acid (HA) on fruit yield and physiological attributes of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. 'Kano') under water deficit stress, a field experiment was conducted in split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. Plants were exposed to three different irrigation regimes (33%, 66% and 100% ETc) and were treated with...

Background: Breast cancer is currently one of the most common types suffered by women, with highest prevalence in all countries world. Herbal plants are thought to increase immune system against tumors, which okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) has potential as an anti-tumor and anti-carcinogenic. This study aimed assess efficacy ethanol extract on granzyme expression tumor mass diameter mammary aden...

Biostimulant application during the cultivation of underutilized crops is an environmental-friendly approach for their production and utilization to promote food security human health. This study investigated effect two commercial biostimulants (a seaweed-based extract, Kelpak® (1:100, 1:40, 1:20, dilutions), plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, PGPR (1:5, 1:10, 1:15, dilutions)) on growth, yi...

The objectives of this study were to identify the antioxidants and antioxidant axtivity in 27 of Taiwan's indigenous vegetables. Lycium chinense (Lc), Lactuca indica (Li), and Perilla ocymoides (Po) contained abundant quercetin (Que), while Artemisia lactiflora (Al) and Gynura bicolor (Gb) were rich in morin and kaempferol, respectively. Additionally, Nymphoides cristata (Nc) and Sechium edule ...

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) merupakan salah satu tanaman yang digunakan sebagai sayuran. Bagian sering adalah buah. Buah okra mengandung flavonoid berpotensi bahan alam berkhasiat obat. Penelitian tentang skrining fitokimia dan penetapan kadar total dari ekstrak buah telah dilakukan. ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kandungan okra. Ekstraksi menggunakan metode maserasi pelarut etanol 70 %. H...

The neurotoxin of strain 111 (111/NT) associated with type B infant botulism showed antigenic and biological properties different from that (Okra/NT) produced by a food-borne botulism-related strain, Okra. The specific toxicity of 111/NT was found to be about 10 times lower than that of Okra/NT. The monoclonal antibodies recognizing the light chain cross-reacted with both neurotoxins, whereas m...

Effectiveness of castor (Ricinus communis) and velvetbean (Mucuna deeringiana) amendments was tested for suppression of the root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne arenaria) and growth of okra (Hibiscus esculentus) in three greenhouse experiments. Regression analysis was used to relate nematode population data or plant growth responses to various rates (0, 1, 2, 4, or 8 g/560 cm(3) soil pot) of each am...
