Sixty-seven crude ethanol extracts from 50 plants (31 families), which are used in North Côte-d'Ivoire as traditional remedies for bacterial diseases, were screened for in vitro activity against Gram negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pyogenes and Bacillus subtilis) bacteria. Thirty-one extracts s...

The biosynthetic pathway of L-tartaric acid, the form most commonly encountered in nature, and its catabolic ties to vitamin C, remain a challenge to plant scientists. Vitamin C and L-tartaric acid are plant-derived metabolites with intrinsic human value. In contrast to most fruits during development, grapes accumulate L-tartaric acid, which remains within the berry throughout ripening. Berry t...

Ampelopsis Radix, the root of Ampelopsis japonica (Thunb.) Makino (Vitaceae), is a herbal medicine which has been widely used in East Asia. The present study was done to explore whether the standardized extract of Ampelopsis Radix (AJW) protects dopaminergic neurons via antioxidant mechanisms in Parkinson's disease (PD) models. The effects of AJW on primary mesencephalic cultures stressed with ...

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory and autoimmune disorder. joint destruction which occurs due to increased expression of cytokines transcription factors. Cissus quadrangularis belongs the Vitaceae family. The plant shows anti-osteoporotic, anti-inflammatory anti-microbial properties. Soxhlet method was used for extraction using methanol as solvent. anti-arthritic activity methanol...

The purpose of this scientific work was to find and study the variety wild grapes as future promising sources selection valuable traits on example territory natural reserve «Red Forest”. Analysis modern literature Vitaceae Juss. family biodiversity showed that there is practically no information agrestic Kuban forms autochthones grapes. This article represents beginning a new large research und...

With the decreasing cost and availability of many newly developed bioinformatics pipelines, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized plant systematics in recent years. Genome skimming been widely used to obtain high-copy fractions genomes, including plastomes, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), nuclear ribosomal (nrDNA). In this study, through simulations, we evaluated optimal (minimum) dept...
