The air dried leaves of Prosopis juliflora Swartz DC., commonly known as Vilayati Kikar was analyzed for chemical composition. The results revealed the quantitative analysis of following classes of natural constituents: flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, phenols and tannins in the range of (16 ± 0.39), (3.6 ± 0.06), (2.2 ± 0.23), (0.66 ± 0.11) and (0.33 ± 0.07) % respectively. The crude fiber and...

BACKGROUND: A computerized statistical analysis of allergy skin test results correlating patient reactivities initiated our interest in the cross-reactive allergens of mesquite tree pollen. In-vitro testing with mesquite-sensitized rabbits and a variety of deciduous tree pollens revealed so many cross-reactivities that it became apparent there could be more allergens in mesquite than previously...

Objective: In 2007 the Rajasthan state of India reported 55,000 malaria cases and 46 deaths caused by malaria. District Jodhpur is the gateway to the Thar Desert in Western Rajasthan. Here malaria is endemic. Between 2002 and 2006 the slide positivity rate ranged between 0.56% and 2.29 % in Jodhpur. The present study aimed to identify factors associated with malaria in Jodhpur.

Objetivou-se comparar a eficiência entre sete protocolos adaptados para extração de DNA genômico da espécie Prosopis juliflora (Sw). DC. Os utilizados tiveram como base em seus tampões: SDS 10%; CTAB 5%; Sorbitol, 3% e Sorbitol; 0,7% NaCl; 2%; 2% NaCl 1,4M. Em todos os testes, eliminou-se o uso β-mercaptoetanol, nitrogênio líquido, proteinase K RNAses. As amostras consistiram primórdios folhiar...

Due to land use change mainly for induced agriculture, Tamaulipan thornscrubin northeast Mexico has been cleared and transformed into small patches of vegetation as small as isolated trees surrounded by agricultural fields. In this study, we explored how tree isolation or growing inside a fragment of remnant vegetation influence diversity of coleopterans in two plant species (Prosopis laevigata...

The characterization and selection of molecular markers are important for genetic pre-breeding programs since they make it possible to choose the most appropriate be used in future research. Therefore, enabling generation subsidies genetic-molecular studies algabora (Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC). amplification profile was characterized. It generated from 17 pairs RGA primers (Resistance Gene An...

As invasões biológicas contribuem de forma significativa para a perda biodiversidade global. Apesar do crescente número trabalhos sobre temática, ainda são necessários estudos que abordem distribuição dessas espécies. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar dispersão cinco espécies exóticas invasoras (Artocarpus heterophyllus, Crotalaria retusa, Leucaena leucocephala, Megathyrsus maximus e Prosopis...
