Background and objectives: Capparis spinosa is a perennial herb belonging to the Capparidaceae family that is mainly distributed in arid and semi-arid regions of the tropical and subtropical world. The plant is a potential source of valuable nutrients that is valued for human food. The fruit of this plant, being a rich source of high-value components, is usually pickle...

Objective: To evaluate the effect of chemical stimuli on germination and seedling growth of Caper (Capparis Spinosa) under drought stress. Methods: Factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with four replicates per treatment were performed. First factor of priming include three levels of acetylsalicylic acid (300, 200 and 100 mg/L), gibberellic acid levels (500, 250 and 12...

CAPER is a case-based planning system that makes use of the massive parallelism of the Connection Machine to access a large memory of hundreds or more cases that are not pre-indexed. Preliminary empirical results of these retrieval methods indicate their viability and scalability. These results have motivated the retrieval-intensive design of the complete system, which includes proposed plan ad...

A dimeric 62-kDa lectin exhibiting a novel N-terminal amino acid sequence was purified from caper (Capparis spinosa) seeds. The purification protocol involved anion-exchange chromatography, cation-exchange chromatography and, finally, gel filtration by FPLC on Superdex 75. Approx. 100-fold purification was achieved. The haemagglutinating activity of the lectin, which was stable in the pH range ...

This article presents data on the export of raw materials and results pharmacological studies caper buds for use in pharmaceutical industry. For this, volumes products last 2 years were studied preclinical aqueous-alcoholic extract obtained from local plant carried out comparison with reference preparations. As a result, has reliable hypoglycemic activity comparable to preparation “Gluqueir” ca...
