A comparative carpological study of 96 species of all clades formerly considered as the tribe Chenopodieae has been conducted for the first time. The results show important differences in the anatomical structure of the pericarp and seed coat between representatives of terminal clades including Chenopodium s.str.+Chenopodiastrum and the recently recognized genera Blitum, Oxybasis and Dysphania....

The article presents the current state of two pasture varieties types from Anabasis salsa: 1. salsa with Caroxylon orientale, Artemisia terrae-albae, A. kemrudica; 2. terrae-albae and sparse-mixed shrubs (Convolvulus fruticosus, Lycium ruthenicum, brachiata, Nanophyton erinaceum, Nitraria schoberi, Malacocarpus crithmifolius, Xylosalsola chiwensis), single specimens Crambe edentula in Karakalpa...

Chenopodium album belongs to the complex genus Chenopodium of the family Amaranthaceae. It is an economically and medicinally important plant. We report here the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. album from northeastern India. This study shall add extensive information on the evolutionary relationships of the genus Chenopodium.

The present paper deals with the study of biomass production of manures in the greens such as Amaranthus polygamus and Amaranthus viridis of the family Amaranthaceae and Spinacea oleracea of the family Chenopodiaceae. The medicinal uses and pharmaco - phytochemical analysis were also carried out for the plant species which are widely used as greens.

Cardio vascular diseases are leading cause of death in both industrialized and developing nations. Disorders of lipid metabolism, following oxidative stress are the prime risk factors for initiation and progression of these diseases[1]. The current anti-hyperlipidemic therapy includes principally statins and fibrates, the former corrects the altered blood lipid profile by inhibiting the bio-syn...

The Haloxylon genus belongs to the Amaranthaceae (formerly Chenopodiaceae) family. The small trees or shrubs in this genus are referred to as the King of psammophytic plants, and perform important functions in environmental protection, including wind control and sand fixation in deserts. To better understand these beneficial plants, we sequenced the chloroplast (cp) genomes of Haloxylon ammoden...

The genus Amaranthus contains 44 species and belongs to the family of Amaranthaceae classified within the order of Caryophyllales. Within this order a number of allergenic species including Amaranthus retroflexus (Redroot pigweed), Beta vulgaris (sugar beet), Chenopodium album (Lambsquaters), Kochia scoparia (Burning bush), and Salsola kali (Russian thistle) have been acknowledged by the WHO/IU...
