this study was conducted to investigate the effects of different temperatures on seed germination of plantago ovata and also to evaluate cardinal temperatures. various constant temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35ºc) were conducted in a completely randomized design with four replications. the germinated seeds were counted every day and the rate of germination percentage, cumulative germin...

The most important components of Plantago lanceolata L. leaves are catalpol, aucubin, and acteoside (=verbascoside). These bioactive compounds possess different pharmacological effects: anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antineoplastic, and hepatoprotective. The aim of this study was to protect Plantago lanceolata extract from hydrolysis and to improve its antioxidant effect using self-nano-emulsi...

Phytoremediation is an environmentally friendly therapy to minimize soil pollution. Cypermethrin (CYP) one of the most frequently used pyrethroid insecticides against a variety pests. We aimed at evaluating potential using economic plant like tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) as control alone and together with Plantago major L. (PM) for uptake CYP residue from contaminated soil, also, investigat...

BACKGROUND Few studies have used time series to investigate the relationship between asthma attacks and aeroallergen levels on a daily basis. METHODS This study, based on time series analysis adjusting for meteorological factors and air pollution variables, assessed the short term effects of different types of allergenic pollen on asthma hospital emergencies in the metropolitan area of Madrid...

Isabgol (Plantago ovata Forsk.) is an important medicinal plant having high pharmacological activity in its seed husk, which is substantially used in the food, beverages and packaging industries. Nevertheless, isabgol lags behind in research, particularly for genomic resources, like molecular markers, genetic maps, etc. Presently, molecular markers can be easily developed through next generatio...

Suspensions are one of the most important dosage forms under liquid orals. A large number of drugs are formulated as suspensions considering their therapeutic and commercial benefits. The aim of the present study is to formulate paracetamol suspensions employing Plantago ovata mucilage as a suspending agent and evaluate the sedimentation stability using near infrared transmission measurements. ...

BACKGROUND Airborne Plantago pollen triggers respiratory allergies in Mediterranean countries. OBJECTIVES We aimed to study sensitization in patients with seasonal respiratory allergy and identify proteins of Plantago lanceolata pollen that could be responsible for hypersensitivity reactions in sensitized patients. We also determined the airborne pollen concentration of Plantago species from ...
