Due to the side effects of antibiotics used in treatment diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria, and antibiotic resistance that develops due misuse antibiotics, scientists have turned search for alternative antimicrobial compounds. Plants compounds plants are widely researched because they natural been a familiar resource field complementary medicine centuries. In this study, activities methano...

Maximum water temperatures in streams throughout the western USA typically occur in late summer and early autumn, coinciding with low stream flow. However, in the spring-fed Big Springs Creek in northern California, where constant-temperature groundwater springs provide relatively stable stream flow throughout the year, peak water temperatures and maximum diurnal variability occur in spring. We...

Helicobacter pylori :28 µg/mL).   (H. pylori) infection leads to different clinical and pathological outcomes in humans, including chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric neoplasia and even gastric cancer and its eradiation dependst upon multi-drug therapy. The most effective therapy is still unknown and prompts people to make great efforts to find better and more modern natural or ...

Alimurgic species are edible wild plants growing spontaneously as invasive weeds in natural grassland and farmed fields. Growing interest in biodiversity conservation projects suggests deeper study of the multifunctional roles they can play in metal uptake for phytoremediation and their food safety when cultivated in polluted land. In this study, the responses of the tap-rooted perennial specie...

Wild plants are important in terms of human nutrition and folk medicine in Turkey. Especially the ones collected from rural areas and sold in the market are rich sources of dietary fiber important for human health. In this study, the dietary fiber contents of 13 different plants consumed frequently were determined by enzymatic-gravimetric method. The lowest amounts of insoluble fiber was found ...

The effects of different growth regimes on gluconasturtiin concentration in watercress (Nasturtium officinale R. Br.) were investigated. Watercress plantlets at the 5th mature leaf stage (ca. 2 weeks old) were exposed to different day and night temperatures, to long (16 h) or short (8 h) days, to red (R) or far-red (FR) light given during the main long day photoperiod, and finally to R or FR li...

Abstract Cultures of Nasturtium officinale were cultivated in vitro under illumination with different wavelengths light-emitting diode (LED) light (white LED light—WLED, blue light—B, red light—R, 70% and 30% light—RB, 50% green, 35% 15% light—RBG, yellow, light—RBY, far red, light—RBfR, UV, light—RBUV, darkness—D), white fluorescent (WF)—control conditions. The study investigated the influence...

Aim: Nuclear factor E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) regulates many cytoprotective antioxidants, and detoxifying enzymes, has been a hopeful approach for chemoprevention of cancer. We researched the chemopreventive impact watercress on DMBA-induced oxidative damage in rat liver via Nrf2/ARE signalling pathway present study. 
 Material Method: Female Wistar albino rats have categorized into three...
