Sawdust as a soilless growth substrate for plants is becoming popular in greenhouse production. However, fresh sawdust often requires time decomposition before it ready use substrate. We studied whether amendments of banana peels (as source potassium), eggshells calcium), and urea nitrogen) non-composted chinaberry (Melia azedarach) could enhance its potential medium. In two pot experiments, th...

the antioxidant activity of the melia azedarach was investigated in rats with ethanol-induced erythrocyte damage. chronic administration of ethanol (20% w/v, 2 g/kg.p.o.,daily for four weeks) increased the level of lipid peroxidation (lpo), decreased the activity of superoxide dismutase (sod) and catalase and reduced the content of glutathione (gsh). the concurrent treatment of ethanol-administ...

A fungus, isolated from the root bark of Melia azedarach (Meliaceae), from which a series of meroterpenes have been reported, was identified as Penicillium brasilianum based on analysis of the ITS region of ribosomal DNA. From a rice culture of this fungus, the known phenylpropanoid amides brasiliamide A and B were obtained together with and a new, slightly modified congener, along with the mer...

Melia azedarach L. is a native tree species that can be used in comprehensive way and widely distributed all provinces south of the Yellow River China. Genetic diversity analysis different M. germplasm sources an important basic work for selection, evaluation, genetic improvement resources. In this study, 100 pairs SSR primers were designed synthesized based on transcriptome data, 16 reliable f...
