Aqueous extract of Calendula officinalis Linn. leaves and flowers has antioxidant action. The activity was determined using the ferric thiocyanate thiobarbituric acid techniques. aqueous extracts petals greater than that leaves. According to findings this study, C. are a possible source natural antioxidants.

Changes in mRNA activity in tips of harvested asparagus spears (Asparagus officinalis L.) held in light or dark for up to 48 h at 20 degrees C were investigated as an initial step in elucidating the genetic response of asparagus spears to harvest. Total RNA was isolated from 30-mm tips of spears 180 mm in length at 0, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h after spear harvest and translated in vitro, and translat...

Garden asparagus ( Asparagus officinalis  L.) is a kind of nutritious and healthy vegetable with important economic value in the world. China has become largest production country garden But seeds mainly depend on import, so we need to innovate breeding system improve international competitiveness domestic varieties. Genetic analysis demonstrated that genetic variation was low its heterosi...

Recurrent localised inflammatory skin reactions healing with hyperpigmentation can be induced by certain drugs and are known as fixed drug eruptions. In few cases also food was described to induce these symptoms, and the term " fixed food eruptions " was coined. Fixed food eruptions are rare, the first case was reported in 1992 (1) and the term in analogy to the clinical similarities to fixed d...

One new (Sarsasapogenin O) and seven known steroids were isolated from the roots of Asparagus officinalis L. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis, including various 2D-NMR techniques, hydrolysis, and by comparison of spectral data of known compounds. These compounds together with nine steroids which were previously isolated from this plant, were tested for cyt...

Five species of genus Asparagus are recognized in the flora Algeria: A. acutifolius L., albus horridus officinalis and endemic altissimus Munby. The chorology each these is fairly well known. In this study, morphological variation anatomical features cladodes have been evaluated respect to taxonomic unit ecogeographical distribution suggest distinct adaptive strategies. Analysis performed on tw...
