Using dill (Anethum graveolens L.) as a model herb, we reveal novel associations between metabolite profile and sensory quality, by integrating non-target metabolomics with data. Low night temperatures exposure to UV-enriched light was used modulate plant metabolism, thereby improving quality. Plant age is crucial factor associated accumulation of ether ?-phellandrene, volatile compounds flavou...

WHAT IS THE ROLE OF LACTIC ACID in muscle contraction and at the whole body level? Since the beginning of the 20th century physiologists have known that when an isolated, unperfused frog muscle was stimulated to contract, lactic acid was produced as part of the contractile response and that oxygen was necessary during recovery to metabolize the lactic acid to eliminate its presence. These pheno...

BACKGROUND The use of medicinal plants is an option for livestock farmers who are not allowed to use allopathic drugs under certified organic programs or cannot afford to use allopathic drugs for minor health problems of livestock. METHODS In 2003 we conducted semi-structured interviews with 60 participants obtained using a purposive sample. Medicinal plants are used to treat a range of condi...

Perinatal exposure to nicotine imbalances the redox status in newborns. This study investigated effect of Anethum graveolens (dill) extract on oxidative stress and tissue injury liver kidney mice newborns exposed perinatally. Pregnant received (0.25 mg/kg) gestational day 12 5 after birth and/or A. 1 15 birth. Newborn showed multiple histopathological alterations liver, including inflammatory c...

Abstract Gastrointestinal nematodes are responsible for great economic losses in sheep raising, and their control has long been carried out almost exclusively by the administration of anthelmintics, which have led to serious resistance problems. In search alternative measures, phytotherapic research is highlighted. The aim this study was evaluate action Anethum graveolens (dill) essential oil o...

Blanching is a prerequisite for preservation of green leafy vegetables. However, it may cause partial destruction of some nutrients like ascorbic acid which is highly oxidizable with time in the post harvest period on atmospheric exposure. The objective of the present study is to identify a suitable blanching treatment and conditions (temperature, time and media) for commonly consumed green lea...

Biological fertilizers are compounds comprising various free living microorganisms that are able to change the basic nutrients into available form through biological procedures. Being an important source of nutrients in sustainable agriculture, these fertilizers lead to better seed germination and development of root system. In order to investigate the effect of biological fertilizers on the me...
