The physical and chemical characteristics of composts of invasive Acacia longifolia and Acacia melanoxylon shrubs were evaluated to identify compost limitations as a substrate component. The bulk density was <0.4 g cm and the total pore space was >85% of the total volume. Air capacity, the easily available water and buffering capacity were also within acceptable recommended values for horticult...

Chlorogenic acids are major secondary metabolites found in coffee seeds. The accumulation of chlorogenic acids and free quinic acids was studied in Coffea arabica cv. Tall Mokka and Coffea canephora seeds. Growth stages are specified from I to V, corresponding to rapid expansion and pericarp growth (I), endosperm formation (II), mature (green) (III), ripening (pink) (IV), and fully ripened (red...

The use of nanoparticles in sensing is attracting the interest of many researchers. The aim of this work was to fabricate Acacia gum-stabilised silver nanoparticles (SNPs) using green chemistry to use them as a highly sensitive and cost-effective localised surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) colorimeter sensor for the determination of reactive oxygen species, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Silv...

This study was directed at the understanding of the function of CCoAOMT isolated from Acacia auriculiformis x Acacia mangium. Full length cDNA of the Acacia hybrid CCoAOMT (AhCCoAOMT) was 1024-bp long, containing 750-bp coding regions, with one major open reading frame of 249 amino acids. On the other hand, full length genomic sequence of the CCoAOMT (AhgflCCoAOMT) was 2548 bp long, containing ...

Constant reduction of stratospheric ozone layer and the increase of ultraviolet radiation intensity were observed in last twenty years of the 20th century. Four tree species; Acacia amplicepsis, Acacia gerradii, Casuarina glauca and Eucalyptus intertexta grown in Experimental station of Food and Agriculture Sciences Collage, King Saud University were used to study the impact of UV-C on potentia...

Coffee is known as one of the most popular beverages around world. belongs to botanical family Rubiaceae and genus coffea. The two economically important species are C. arabica (arabica coffee) canephora (robusta coffee).The health benefits coffee due presence many biologically active components such caffeine, chlorogenic acid, nicotinic quinolinic trigonelline, tannic pyrogolic acid. postharve...

the achillea l. genus has a wide distributional range, and the differences in oil composition may be affected by different environmental factors such as soil mineral fertilization, the climate conditions and the culture site. to evaluate the effect of temperate climate on content and chemical combination of essential oil of achillea filipendulina lam,  a. arabica kotschy and a. eriophora dc., t...

Seeds of many arid habitat plants have a water-impermeable coat and can germinate only after being scarified. Bruchine seed beetles are important parasites of legume seeds in these environments, but their effect on germination can be unpredictable. Beetles deplete seed resources and can kill the embryo but also scarify seeds. We investigated the effects of a generalist parasite, Stator limbatus...

Aim of the study: To determine the pharmacological activity relevant to ulcer healing of Acacia farnesiana (aroma) leaf, a folk medicine used in the treatment of Ulcer. Materials and Methods: MEAF extract was done by using soxhelet apparatus and was further subjected to screening of the qualitative analysis of phyto chemicals. Consequently the Methanolic extract of leaf was tested against ulcer...
