The use of highly discriminatory methods for the identification and characterization of genotypes is essential for plant protection and appropriate use. We utilized the RAPD method for the genetic fingerprinting of 11 plant species of desert origin (seven with known medicinal value). Andrachne telephioides, Zilla spinosa, Caylusea hexagyna, Achillea fragrantissima, Lycium shawii, Moricandia sin...

Chloroplast DNA diversity in Prunus spinosa, a common shrub of European deciduous forests, was assessed using the polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. Thirty-two haplotypes were detected in 25 populations spread across the European continent. Ten haplotypes were shared by two or more populations, and 22 were private. The major proportion of th...

The article presents Data on the content of biologically active compounds (BAC) and total phenolic antioxidants activity (TPA) evaluated for aboveground organs three species from Caragana Genus – C. bungei, pygmaea и spinosa, growing in Mountain Altai. It was determined that leaves reproductive contain flavonols, catechins, tannins, carotenoids, pectin substances. is shown substances a plant ar...

hydroalcoholic extract of pycnocycla spinosa is a relaxant of rat ileum and inhibits diarrhea in mice. as p. spinosa extract has spasmolytic activity on ileum, it could also affect other smooth muscles like bladder. therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of p. spinosa extract on rat bladder contraction. in an in vitro study, the effects of p. spinosa extract, nifedipine an...

The antioxidative activity of three anthocyanin pigments, extracted from the fruits of chokeberry, honeysuckle and sloe, were studied. Lipid oxidation in the liposome membrane, induced by UV radiation, was evaluated with a thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances assay. The antioxidant efficiency of the studied compounds follows this sequence: chokeberry > sloe > honeysuckle. The extract concent...

Study of Population Structure Capparis Spinosa and Analysis Morphological Traits using ISSR SCoT Markers

background pycnocycla spinosa decne. ex boiss is an aromatic plant which showed relaxant effects on isolated ileum contractions and antidiarrheal activity. thirty four components have been extracted from p. spinosa essential oil, of which several major constituents were found to show seasonal variation. objectives the aim of this work is to evaluate the diurnal variation of its oil constituents...

hydroalcoholic extract of pycnocycla spinosa has spasmolytic effect in vitro and antidiarrhoeal action in vivo . the aim of this research was to separate fractions of total hydroalcoholic extract of p. spinosa guided by their spasmolytic activity. aerial parts of p. spinosa were extracted with ethanol. the concentrated extract was subjected to column chromatography and thin layer chromatography...
