salsola tomentosa is a permanent plant belonging to chenopodiaceae family, its type is formed in many areas and in some other areas it is seen sparsely with artemisia species. investigation and determination of ecological needs of the species s. tomentosa was begun in 1383 and lasted for 3 years. the aim of the experiment was to recognize the locus of this species growth in razavi khorasan prov...

Halophyte microbiome contributes significantly to plant performance and can provide information regarding complex ecological processes involved in osmoregulation of these plants. The objective of this study is to investigate the microbiomes associated with belowground (rhizosphere), internal (endosphere) and aboveground (phyllosphere) tissues of halophyte (Salsola stocksii) through metagenomics...

BACKGROUND Uncaria tomentosa (Willd. ex Schult.) DC (Rubiaceae), known as Cat's Claw or Uña de gato, is a traditionally used medicinal plant native to Peru. Some studies have shown that U. tomentosa can act as an antiapoptotic agent and enhance DNA repair in chemotherapy-treated cells although others have shown that U. tomentosa enhanced apoptosis. OBJECTIVE To determine if treatment with U. ...

Hymenoclea salsola, Asteraceae, Resin Flavonoids, 2',4',6 'OH Chalcone Hymenoclea salsola (Asteraceae), a dominant shrub of the desert areas of California and Baja California, Mexico, secretes high amounts of resin on the leaf surface. Chemi­ cal analysis of the resin revealed the presence of a complex mixture of flavonoid aglycones. Among the compounds identified is the rare 2',4',6'-OH chalco...

Cyclosporin A (CsA) is a widely employed immunosuppressive drug that is associated with several side effects, among then hepatotoxicity. Heteropterys tomentosa is a Brazilian plant efficient in reducing damage caused by CsA on the rat testis and prostate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of CsA and H. tomentosa (administered isolated or simultaneously) on the liver of Wistar rat...

Background/Aim. The use of herbal products as a supplement to minimize the effects of chemotherapy for cancer treatment requires further attention with respect to the activity and toxicity of chemotherapy. Uncaria tomentosa extract, which contains oxindole alkaloids, is one of these herbal products. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether Uncaria tomentosa extract modulates apoptosi...

Paulownia tomentosa is a fast-growing tree species with multiple uses. It is grown worldwide, but is native to China, where it is widely cultivated in saline regions. We previously confirmed that autotetraploid P. tomentosa plants are more stress-tolerant than the diploid plants. However, the molecular mechanism underlying P. tomentosa salinity tolerance has not been fully characterized. Using ...
