BACKGROUND Waterlily Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is thought to be antioxidant-rich, conferred by its functional phytochemicals. METHODS The potential anticancer effects of the ethanolic kernel extract on breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) using MTT, anti-proliferation, neutral red (NR) uptake and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assays were evaluated. Cytological studies on the bre...

The aims of this study are to determine and compare the antioxidant levels and activities (i.e. primary and secondary) between selected seeds of Malaysian tropical fruits - guava (Psidium guajava), mango (Mangifera indica L.) and papaya (Carica papaya L.). Seeds are among byproducts from the processing of fruitsbased products. Instead of discarding seeds as waste, seeds with high potential as a...

The purpose of this study was to characterize the anxiolytic activity of an Aqueous extract prepared from the leaves of Mangifera indica L (AEMI) using an elevated plus maze (EPM) model in rat and staircase model in mice. In elevated plus maze (EPM) model, At dose of Mangifera indica (250mg/kg and 500mg/kg) treated group showed significant increase in the % time spent in open arm and no. of ent...

The traditional use of plant as herbs for medicinal purposes has been a practise as old as man. In spite of the evolution of modern medicine, and the ground-breaking successes in drug development and therapy, the use of herbs is still a common practise in many parts of the world today. This is even more so in developing countries, where a significant portion of the population still depend on he...

pruning of the plant canopy and paclobutrazol application to the root zone are agronomic practices that improve harvest yield in mango (mangifera indica l.) orchards. to assess the effect of pruning and paclobutrazol treatment on the vegetative and reproductive development of ‘ataulfo’ mango, three pruning dates (20 april, 20 may, and 20 june) and three concentrations of paclobutrazol (pbz) (7....

To explore the quality rootstocks which impart better fruits in mango varieties, we studied interactive effect of scion and rootstock using five varieties (Mallika, Amrapali, Dashehari, Pusa Arunima, Surya) grafted on three (Olour, Kurukkan, K-5). A total 25 physico-chemical parameters were viz., fruit weight, yield efficiency, per plant, pulp percent, soluble solids (TSS), acidity, physiologic...
