Alkannin is an active constituent from the root extract of Alkanna tinctoria of the Boraginaceae family and it may have utility as a heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) inducer in living organisms. Here, the effects of alkannin-induced HSP70 on ultraviolet (UV) B (40 mJ/cm(2))-induced apoptosis were investigated in human keratinocyte HaCaT cells. Pretreatment of cells with alkannin (1 µM) caused sign...

conclusions based on these observations, wide variation is detected in the chemical composition of the oil obtained from the same plant in different seasons. materials and methods the oil was extracted by hydro-distillation from two samples collected in different seasons, and analyzed by gc-fid and gc-ms. results in total, 18 and 20 components were identified and quantified in the oil of summer...

Thellungiella halophila (T. halophila) (salt cress) is a close relative of Arabidopsis and a model plant for salt tolerance research. However, the nature of its later flowering causes some difficulties in genetic analysis. The FRIGIDA (FRI) gene plays a key role in the Arabidopsis vernalization flowering pathway, whose homolog in T. halophila may also be a key factor in controlling flowering ti...

Plants adapt to environment by plastic growth which will be transferred to offspring through transgenerational effect. Performance and response of maternal and offspring plant will affect population dynamics and community composition. However, it is scarcely understood how maternal nutrient environment affect the performance and response of offspring through transgenerational effect. Here we st...

In this research, the economic and ecological use value of Alkanna orientalis was determined. The biodiversity functions services species were analysed economically by classifying data obtained from literature analysis. regulation functions, which is one these pollination seed dispersal, in traditional medicine within production pharmacological researches as raw materials have been revealed imp...

Havacıva grass used in this study is one of the natural plants and belongs to genus Alkanna family Boraginaceae. strigosa Boiss. & Hohen. plant known as Havaco or Havaciva region. In study, dyes derived from root plant, which was introduced a new record for Turkey 2017, given. As result different colors with without mordant were obtained. A total 9 dyeings made research using dried wet grass. S...
