Background and objectivesNatural products from plants their biological potentialities have increased environmental concerns. This study aimed to evaluate the phenolic composition, along with antioxidant, antimicrobial, insecticidal activities of Ziziphus spina-christi leaf extracts using LC-MS.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of Jerusalem thorn (Paliurus spina-christi Mill./PSC) and oriental hackberry (Celtis tournefortii L./CT) fruits black cumin (Nigella sativa L./NS) seed on microbial quality physicochemical properties during storage meatballs +4 oC. For this purpose, PSC, CT fruits, NS seeds were added at 2% form four groups, including control. Prepared meatball sam...

This study was carried out to determine effects of different durations (20, 40, 60 days and control) of cold stratification treatments on seed germination and to overcome dormancy in seeds of twelve different drought tolerant plants. The species used in this study were Arbutus andrachne L., Cistus creticus L., Colutea armena Bois. Huet., Cotinus coggygria Scop., Cotoneaster numullaria Fisch. an...

In this study, three phenolic compounds were isolated from the seeds of Zizyphus spina-christi for the first time. The compounds were identified by means of 1 H-NMR-, UV and GC-MS as p-hydroxybenzoic acid, kaempferol, quercetin-3-O--L-rhamnosyl--D-glucopyranoside (rutin).

Ziziphus Mill. (Rhamnaceae) is comprised of about 170 species that are mainly distributed in tropical to subtropical regions, with few in the temperate zone. Several Ziziphus fruit tree species are important energy, nutrient, and medicinal resources for human populations, particularly for those living in rural regions. To date, limited genomic information is available for this genus. Here, we a...

Bangladesh is considered one of the countries most at risk to the effects of climate change and its coastal area is most vulnerable. This study tries to explore the experiences of cyclones Sidr and Aila affected people living in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. This study was conducted in the cyclone Sidr affected Amtali Upazila of Barguna District and in the cyclone Aila affected Koyra Upazila...

the research aims at studying the effects of mycorrhizal fungi (glomus fasciculatum, g. mosseae and mixed composition) on growth, photosynthesis and nutrient absorption of ziziphus spina-christi in mehran greenhouse, ilam province. the result showed that colonization rate in mixed treatment was more than pure treatment of g. fasciculatum and g. mosseae. also, root fresh weight, stomatal conduct...

Fruits of the genus Ziziphus are known for their medicinal and nutritional value. Thus, this study aimed to investigate influence different maturity stages (unripe, half-ripe, ripe fruit) at harvest on physicochemical characteristics, phytochemical composition, antioxidants, antibacterial activities mauritiana spina-christi fruits. In both plant species, unripe fruits had significantly higher (...

The extracts of Jerusalem thorn fruits (JT-FE) have been commonly used for the treatment diabetes mellitus in Turkey. In this study, it is aimed to investigate effects JT-FE, prepared by decoction, on blood glucose, insulin and glycated haemoglobin levels diabetic rats induced with streptozotocin (STZ). Hypoglycemic activity was examined streptozotocin-induced rats. For purpose, pre-prandial su...
