Purpose: Ornithogalum sintenisii is an Iranian species with little known about its pharmacological effects. The purpose of the present study was to investigate some antioxidant properties of the plant. Methods: The antioxidant potency of the freeze-dried methanol extract of O. sintenisii bulbs and aerial parts were investigated by evaluating the following parameters: linoleic acid peroxidation,...

Microtubules present in the epidermis of Ornithogalum umbellatum ovary in the area of lipotubuloids (i.e. aggregates of lipid bodies surrounded by microtubules) are 25-51 nm in diameter. They consist mainly of 10 and 11, sometimes 9 and 12 protofilaments. An average diameter of microtubule consisting of 9 subunits is about 32 nm, of 10-35 nm, of 11-38 nm and of 12-43 nm, however, individual mic...

Krimpsiekte (the syndrome associated with chronic cardiac glycoside poisoning) was purportedly induced by Ornithlogalum toxicarium in the Karas mountains area of Keetmanshoop, Namibia. This chinkerinchee species was previously linked to a condition known as 'kwylbek' krimpsiekte in small stock in the Beaufort West district of the Western Cape Province, South Africa. In a dosing trial, respirato...

Efficient procedures are outlined for plant regeneration through direct shoot bud formation and indirect organogenesis through callus formation in Ornithogalum virens Lindl using bulb scale as explant. Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) medium containing 1 mg/L (5.4mM) NAA and 2 mg/L (4.4mM) BA was most effective in direct induction of shoot buds from explant. Callus cultures were raised from the bulb ...
