Senna (Cassia angustifolia Vahl.) is a world's natural laxative medicinal plant. Laxative properties are due to sennosides (anthraquinone glycosides) natural products. However, little genetic information is available for this species, especially concerning the biosynthetic pathways of sennosides. We present here the transcriptome sequencing of young and mature leaf tissue of Cassia angustifolia...

In this work we analyzed the composition and structure of cultivable bacterial communities isolated from the stem/leaf and root compartments of two medicinal plants, Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench and Echinacea angustifolia (DC.) Hell, grown in the same soil, as well as the bacterial community from their rhizospheric soils. Molecular PCR-based techniques were applied to cultivable bacteria isol...

The sedative properties of the essential oil of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Miller) and of its main constituents--linalool and linalyl acetate--were investigated in mice followed up in a series of experimental procedures. The significant decrease in the motility of female and male laboratory animals under standardized experimental conditions is found to be closely dependent on the exposure...

in order to assess the adaptation of elaeagnus angustifolia l. and fraxinus rotundifolia mill afforestation around tabriz international airport, the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of trees were measured in 96 experimental circular plots with a size of 300 m2. to study the edaphic effects of these species, nine samples were randomly collected from 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm depth of soil...

Somatic embryogenesis is an important biotechnological tool in the large-scale propagation of elite genotypes and ex situ conservation of conifer species. Protocols for the induction and proliferation of embryogenic cultures (ECs) of Brazilian pine (Araucaria angustifolia (Bert.) O. Ktze) are well established, although the proper formation of mature somatic embryos (SEs) is still problematic. T...

Introduction:Elaeagnus spp. is one in the family of riparian trees growing near the rivers or water corridors. In this family, Elaeagnus angustifolia (Russian olive) is famous because of its medical applications. Methods: A comprehensive review was performed to extract the related data from published literature. Results: Traditionally, it has been used as an analgesic, antipyretic and diuretic ...

Two glycosides were isolated from the n-Butanol soluble portion of the ethanolic portion of the stem and leaves part of stachytarpheta angustifolia. Their structures were elucidated as Iridoid glycoside (1) and a caffeic glycoside ester named as –β(3 1 , 4 1 dihydroxyphenyl)–ethyl-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-3)-β-D-(4-O-Caffeoyl) glucopyranoside (2) by spectroscopic Method.
