Alteration of the fire regime in upland oak–hickory (Quercus L. spp.–Carya Nutt. spp.) forests Central Hardwood Region is a major factor for current shifts species’ composition and oak recruitment regeneration failures. The reintroduction into these ecosystems requires better understanding effects on co-occurring competitors. First-order (i.e., during immediately after) red maple (Acer rubrum L...

We aimed to determine the cytotoxic and immunomodulatory effects of hydroalcoholic extracts of the roots and aerial parts of Ebenus boissieri (EB) on breast cancer MDA-MB231 cells and the non-cancerous human embryonic kidney cell line, 293T. Cell viability was determined by MTT assay, trypan blue exclusion, and Live/Dead Viability/Cytotoxicity assay. Apoptosis was evaluated by measuring the act...

BACKGROUND Ebenus boissieri Barbey is an Antalya, Turkey-endemic plant belonging to Fabaceae family. The aerial parts and the roots of E. boissieri Barbey were used in this study. OBJECTIVE In the present study, we have examined the apoptotic effects of hydroalcoholic extracts of E. boissieri Barbey in human cervical cancer cell line HeLa. MATERIALS AND METHODS To determine the cytotoxic ef...
