The Portulaca oleracea L. (P. oleracea) has been used to treat bacillary dysentery for thousands of years in China. Pharmacology studies on P. oleracea have also showed its significant antibacterial effects on the enteropathogenic bacteria, which might reveal the treatment of P. oleracea in cases of bacillary dysentery to some extent. To date, however, the therapeutic basis of P. oleracea treat...

this experiment was conducted in germinator in order to study the effects of water potential on seed germination, rate of germination and seedlings growth of four medicinal plants (coriandrum sativum, plantago psyllium, discorinia sophia and portulaca oleracea). four water potential inclouding distilled water as control (0), -0.37, -0.59 and –0.81 mpa which made by different salts (nacl, cacl2 ...

objective(s): to evaluate the influences of aqueous extracts of plant parts (stem, leaves, and root) of portulaca oleracea l. on bioformation of silver nanoparticles (agnps).materials and methods: synthesis of silver nanoparticles by different plant part extracts of portulaca oleracea l. was carried out and formation of nanoparticles were confirmed and evaluated using uv-visible spectroscopy an...

Introduction: Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease which is associated with the inflammation of cardiovascular system and kidney. Studies have shown that medicinal plants could be effective in reducing inflammation however, the effectiveness of purslane (Portulaca oleracea) on inflammation is not well defined. Thus, this study attempted to investigate the effect of Portulaca oleracea seed co...

Photorespiration rates in tissue cultures of a C(4) plant, Portulaca oleracea, were compared to those in tissue cultures of a C(3) plant, Streptanthus tortuosus. The C(4) plant tissue cultures have one-half to one-third the photorespiration rate of the C(3) plant tissue cultures and respond to varying O(2) concentrations in a manner typical of C(4) plants. The results suggest that the lack of d...

The phytochemical analysis of the fresh aerial parts of Portulaca oleracea (Portulacaceae), growing in Jordan, using conventional chromatographic procedures resulted in the isolation of Beta-sitosterol, Beta-sitosterol-glucoside, N,N'-dicyclohexylurea, and allantoin. The last three compounds were isolated for the first time from this plant. The structure elucidation of these compounds was attai...
