Hedyotis capitellata has widely used in traditional medicine for treatment of toxication, inflammation, diuretic, stomachache. H. capitellata has been showed to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. In this study we presented the acute and chronic anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities on HeLa, MCF7 and N87 cells line of H. capitellata. Our data showed that H. capi...

The intention of the study was to investigate effect physical conditions such as aeration rate (1, 3, 5 L/min) well chemical including sodium nitrite (NaNO2), urea (CH4N2O) and ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) on biomass productivity fucoxanthin concentration A. capitellata. optimum cultures were cultivated in f/2 medium using nitrate (NaNO3) at light intensity 100 µmol photons/ m2s with 2 L/min L bub...

Graphical User Interface Silene is used for generation of input data describing 2D&3D unstructured geometries for neutron transport codes used at CEA. This paper summarizes new capabilities and functionalities of Silene. Silene is designed to deal with unstructured geometries, but can handel regular ones, even they are internally treated as unstructured. Recently the concept of collection of co...

Stem growth and flowering in the long-day plant Silene armeria L. are induced by exposure to a minimum of 3 to 6 long days (LD). Stem growth continues in subsequent short days (SD), albeit at a reduced rate. The growth retardant tetcyclacis inhibited stem elongation induced by LD, but had no effect on flowering. This indicates that photoperiodic control of stem growth in Silene is mediated by g...

Transposable elements often accumulate in nonrecombining regions, such as Y chromosomes. Contrary to this trend, a new Silene retrotransposon described here, has spread recently all over the genome of plant Silene latifolia, except its Y chromosome. This coincided with the latest steps of sex chromosome evolution in this species.

In the plant genus Silene, separate sexes and sex chromosomes are believed to have evolved twice. Silene species that are wholly or largely hermaphroditic are assumed to represent the ancestral state from which dioecy evolved. This assumption is important for choice of outgroup species for inferring the genetic and chromosomal changes involved in the evolution of dioecy, but is mainly based on ...

The Hawaiian endemic Silene are a small group of woody or semiwoody representatives from a large, predominantly herbaceous, species-rich genus. We here investigated the origin and number of introductions of the endemic Hawaiian Silene based on phylogenetic relationships inferred from DNA sequences from both the plastid (the rps16 intron) and the nuclear (ribosomal internal transcribed sequences...

Plants affect the spatial distribution of soil microorganisms, but the influence of the local abiotic context is poorly documented. We investigated the effect of a single plant species, the cushion plant Silene acaulis, on habitat conditions, and microbial community. We collected soil from inside (In) and outside (Out) of the cushions on calcareous and siliceous cliffs in the French Alps along ...

Different parts of four edible medicinal plants (Casearia capitellata, Baccaurea motleyana, Phyllanthus pulcher and Strobilanthus crispus), indigenous to Malaysia, were extracted in different solvents, sequentially. The obtained 28 extracts were evaluated for their in vitro anticancer properties, using the MTS assay, on four human cancer cell lines: colon (HT-29), breast (MCF-7), prostate (DU-1...
