A modern classification of pastures in Karakalpak Ustyurt has been developed, which combines 7 pasture types (Anabasis salsa, Salsola arbusculiformis-Anabasis Artemisia terrae-albae-Anabasis Haloxylon ammodendron, Tamarix hispida-T. elongata, Kalidium caspicum, Halocnemum strobilaceum), 2 classes (pastures stratal plains on gray-brown soils and drainless depressions solonchaks) 42 varieties, a ...

Ethanolic crude extract of I. imbricata Lindl. (Iridaceae) was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel with varying portions of MeOH: CHCl3. Nigicin (irisolone) was isolated and its identification carried out by IR, UV, MS, 1-D and 2-D NMR spectroscopy.

The medicinal plant Olax imbricata is well-known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and diabetes-treating properties. It essential to investigate the chemical composition biological activity of imbricata. During our investigation this plant, a terephthalate derivative, bis(2-ethylhexyl)terephthalate, was isolated from methanol extract using chromatographic techniques elucida...

Halophytes, gypsicoles and serpentinicoles are adapted to specialized edaphic conditions at arid semi-arid regions. These areas possess physical chemical stress factors for all plants. For these plants, one of the most important parameter that provides tolerance is proline accumulation. Proline a water-soluble amino acid generally accumulated under behave like an indicator adaptation plants aga...
