Genetic diversity in perennial Salvia judaica Boiss (Judean sage) and palaestina Benth (Palestinian species using touch-up directed amplification of minisatellite region DNA (TU-DAMD) has been performed two separated sets; the first set (set A) initial annealing temperature was increased from 50 °C to 55 °C, whereas, second one B), it 60 by 0.5 °C/cycle during 10 PCR cycles. Fifteen DAMD primer...

methanolic extracts of five native species of salvia from the labiatae family were evaluated for antioxidant activity in low-erucic acid rapeseed oil using the schaal oven test at 60°c, with deterioration monitored by determination of peroxide value, conjugated diene content and p-anisidine value. the activity of the salvia extracts was compared with that of tbhq, ascorbyl palmitate, and extrac...

Karyotypes of ten sections of genus Trigonella Linnaeus, 1753 (Fabaceae) from Turkey were investigated. Somatic chromosome numbers of examined species were determined as 2n=14 and 16. The karyotype analyses of the species were carried out and somatic chromosome numbers of Trigonella plicata Boiss., 1872, Trigonella brachycarpa (Fisch.) Moris, 1833, Trigonella rostrata Boiss., 1872, Trigonella l...

Essential oils from Ferulago asparagifolia Boiss., F. galbanifera (Miller) W. Koch, F. humilis Boiss. (Endemic), F. trachycarpa Boiss. growing in Turkey were evaluated against 15 microorganisms for their antifungal and antibacterial activity using an agar tube dilution and microdilution broth susceptibility assay, respectively. The essential oil compositions were investigated by GC/MS. Inhibito...

Croton cajucara Benth is a plant found in Amazonia, Brazil and the bark and leaf infusion of this plant have been popularly used to treat diabetes and hepatic disorders. The present study was designed to evaluate the oxidative stress as well as the therapeutic effect of Croton cajucara Benth (1.5 mL of the C. cajucara extract i.g.) in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Croton cajucara B...
