Ethnomedicinal implies the usage of medicinal plants used by a group of people on account of their traditional knowledge and phytochemical means the individual chemical that plant contains. This review involves the ethnomedicinal and phytochemical perspectives of Pyrus communis Linn. In the “The Indian Materia Medica”, the common pear or gabbu gosha is considered as ‘Amritphale’ because of its ...

The effects of storage and deep desiccation on structural changes of DNA in orthodox seeds are poorly characterized. In this study we analyzed the 5-methylcytosine (m(5)C) global content of DNA isolated from seeds of common pear (Pyrus communis L.) that had been subjected to extreme desiccation, and the seedlings derived from these seeds. Germination and seedling emergence tests were applied to...

two experiments were performed for in vitro establishment, proliferation and shoot growth in axillary bud explants of sebri pear cultivar. in the first experiment, the effect of different concentrations of iba(indole-3-butyric acid) on explants’ establishment was evaluated. in a second experiment, the influence of several combinations of pgrs (plant growth regulators)on shoot proliferation and ...

A loss and recovery of polysomes coincident with the temperature-dependent interruption and resumption of pear fruit (Pyrus communis, L.) senescence establishes a close correlation between the presence of protein-synthesizing machinery and the progression of senescence and ripening.

This study was aimed at evaluating the antioxidant and antidiabetic activities of methanolic extracts peel, flesh mixed flesh, as well cytotoxic activity peel obtained from fruits six traditional pear varieties (Vidovaca, Lubenicarka, Karamanka, Jeribasma, Loncara Takisa), one commercial variety (Williams Bartlett) a wild (Pyrus communis) Serbia. The tested showed strong regarding prevention ?-...

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are widespread among higher plants of different taxonomic orders. In this study, we report on the RIP sequences found in the genome/transcriptome of several important Rosaceae species, including many economically important edible fruits such as apple, pear, peach, apricot, and strawberry. All RIP domains from Rosaceae share high sequence similarity with con...
