Effects of dried Portulaca oleracea supplementation to the laying hen diet on productive performance, egg physical traits, fatty acid composition, and cholesterol content | Antonella Dalle Zotte, Gianluca Pranzo Agricultural Journals

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...

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...

Soil in laboratory microcosm experiments was amended with dried and milled crop residue of onion (Allium cepa L. cv. Mission) or garlic (A. sativa L. cv. California Early). The amend ments, along with the additional factors of amendment concentration (0, 1 or 3% (w/w)) an soil temperature (23 or 39 8C), were evaluated with respect to germination of seeds of th weedy annual plants Echinochloa cr...

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...
