OBJECTIVES Various species of genus Trigonella are important from medical and culinary points of view. The essential oil of Trigonella torbatejamensis Ranjbar as an endemic plant in Iran has not been studied previously. The essential oil of this plant was analyzed by different methods for identification of its components. MATERIALS AND METHODS The essential oil composition of aerial parts of ...

Invitro antimycotic effect of the coconut, mustard, groundnut & soyabeen oils and the seeds of trigonella, ajwoin, mustard and garlic bulbs were mixed in the above oil samples to determine their effect on the spore germination of five pathogenic fungi i.e., Aspergillus niger, A.flavus, Absidia corymbifera, Penicilium nigricans and Candida albicans, isolated from otitic fungal infection of exter...

Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is an aromatic plant that yields secondary metabolites, continuously used for the readiness of food and medicines. The current study conducted to assess impact inoculation mycorrhiza on growth Trigonella foenum-graecum in different soil samples. presents two arrangements treatment experimental control pots. Different samples were obtained from areas In pots...

Corresponding Author: Shailendra Kapoor, MD; e-mail: [email protected] 1751 I read with great interest the recent article by Kumar et al1. Interestingly, recent data suggests that Trigonella may exert a number of anti-neoplastic effects besides its anti-hyperglycemic effects. For instance, diosgenin (one of the saponins of Trigonella) is effective in reducing tumor growth in squamous c...

Caeruleanone A (1), a novel rotenoid with an unprecedented arrangement of the D-ring, was isolated with another two new analogues, caeruleanones B (2) and C (3), together with 11 known rotenoids from the fruits of Millettia caerulea. The structures of the new compounds were determined by spectroscopic data analysis, with that of 1 being confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds 2...

We examined the seasonal patterns of physiology and biochemical composition in the rock-dwelling clausiliid land snail Albinaria caerulea in relation to its ecology, morphology and climatic data. We found that A. caerulea displayed significant seasonal changes in biochemical composition and enzyme activity, especially during aestivation. Sugars were catabolized early in aestivation, and protein...

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is the causative agent of chytridiomycosis, a fungal skin disease in amphibians and driver of worldwide amphibian declines.We focussed on the early stages of infection by Bd in 3 amphibian species with a differential susceptibility to chytridiomycosis. Skin explants of Alytes muletensis, Litoria caerulea and Xenopus leavis were exposed to Bd in an Ussing cham...

Rhizobium tibeticum was originally isolated from root nodules of Trigonella archiducis-nicolai grown in Tibet, China. This species is also able to nodulate Medicago sativa and Phaseolus vulgaris The whole-genome sequence of the type strain, R. tibeticum CCBAU85039T, is reported in this study.
