Cryptostegia grandiflora, a member of Asclepiadaceae, was evaluated as a potential multi-use crop. The plant contained 14.0% protein, 6.5% oil, 6.9% polyphenol, and 2.13% hydrocarbon. The gross heat value of the species was 3878.0 cal/g, while the oil fraction was 7350.1 cal/g, and the hydrocarbon fraction was 9300.0 cal/g. The NMR spectra of the hydrocarbon fraction reveals the presence of cis...

Cardiac glycosides are widely available in botanic products and other naturally occurring substances worldwide. Accidental consumption of it leads to digitalis toxicity with varied systemic manifestations. We describe a case of consumption of extract of leaves of the Indian rubber vine plant (Crytostegia grandiflora) which led to gastrointestinal, cardiac, electrolyte, and hematological disturb...

Background: White turi leaf (Sesbania grandiflora) is a plant from the Leguminosae family that isused as traditional medicine. Purpose(s): To determine antioxidant potential of white leafextract grandiflora L) using DPPH reagent. Methods: leaves (S. grandiflora)were extracted maceration technique with ethanol solvent. The extract wasfractionated liquid-liquid extraction n-hexane, ethyl acetate,...

abstract sesbania grandiflora leaves are extensively used locally since ancient time as in traditional systems. base on mainly folkloric use, we investigated to know the potential of sesbania grandiflora leaves extracts through biological works in vivo and in vitro. the ethanolic extract of s. grandiflora leaves was partitioned into ethyl acetate soluble fraction (esf), petroleum ether soluble ...

The leaf terpenoid compositions of nine Lauraceae species, viz., Neolitsea pallens, Lindera pulcherrima, Dodecadenia grandiflora, Persea duthiei, Persea odoratissima, Persea gamblei, Phoebe lanceolata, Cinnamomum tamala, and Cinnamomum camphora, collected from the Himalayan region (India) were examined by GC, GC/MS, and NMR analyses in order to determine the similarities and differences among t...

Abstract Mineral nutrients are necessary for the growth and development of plants. Previous studies have concentrated mainly on silicon-accumulating plants, while less work has been conducted non-accumulating plants such as Petunia × atkinsiana D. Don. In this study, we investigated responses morphological (plant height, root length, fresh dry weight, no. flowers) biochemical (proline, malondia...

Seed oils of Passiflora edulis, Jatropa curucas, Tinospora cordifolia, Sesbania grandiflora and Sapindus laurifolia were investigated for their antihelmintic property against Pheritima pasthuma. Three concentrations (10, 50 and 100 mg/ml) of each oil were studied in the bioassay, which involved the determination of time of paralysis and time of death of the worm. Sesbania grandiflora showed the...

in order to assess drought tolerance of mycorrhizal petunia plants (petunia hybrida cv. mix), a greenhouse experiment was carried out with two different mycorrhizae species (glomus mosseae and glomus intraradices) applied singly or in combination at two phosphorous (p) levels (0 and 100 mg kg-1 dry soil) and three irrigation regimes (100% field capacity (fc) as control, 75% fc producing moderat...
