The common fig tree (Ficus carica L.) is a Mediterranean crop with problematic cultivar identification. The recovery and conservation of possible local varieties for ecological production requires the previous genetic characterization of the available germplasm. In this context, 42 lines corresponding to 12 local varieties and two caprifigs, in addition to 15 reference samples have been fingerp...

With the aim of studying the biosynthesis of psoralen and bergapten, two furocoumarins present in the leaves of “Ficus carica” (Moraceae), the Authors, continuing preceding researchs on this topic, have fed the leaves with the following labelled precursors: 4/,5/-dihydropsoralen, 4',5'-dihydrobergapten, 7-hydroxycoumarin, 5,7-dihydroxycoumarin and 5-methoxy-7-hydroxycoumarin. The results obtain...

Fig rust, caused by Cerotelium fici, was first recorded in South Africa 1927. Recent observations have revealed high incidence of rust and untimely defoliation fig trees (Ficus carica) residential gardens commercial orchards. Using phylogenetic analysis, the causal organism a isolate (PREM63073) collected 2020 confirmed as Phakopsora nishidana. Inoculation microscope studies showed that mulberr...

The aim of the present study was to explore the probable anti-inflammatory effect of petroleum ether (PEE), chloroform (CE) and ethanol (EE) extracts obtained from the leaves of Ficus carica Linn. Anti-inflammatory activity was studied by carrageenan-induced rat paw edema and cotton pellet granuloma methods. The extracts were administered orally in doses of 300 and 600 mg/kg/day of body weight ...

BACKGROUND Photocontact dermatitis to Ficus carica is induced by furocoumarins present in sap. These substances are generally considered to cause phototoxic reactions. OBJECTIVES We conducted a patch test and histopathological study of patients with phytophoto contact dermatitis from the fig tree to evaluate the mechanism underlying the photoreaction. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patch and photopat...
