We evaluated the sleep enhancement activity of the medicinal herbs valerian (Valeriana officinalis), jujube (Ziziphus jujube), lotus seed (Nelumbo nucifera), Gastrodia elata, Polygonatum sibiricum, and baekbokryung (Poria cocos), which can relieve insomnia in a Drosophila model. Locomotor activity was measured in the Drosophila model to evaluate the sleep activity of Korean medicinal herbs trad...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite primers were developed to characterize and evaluate patterns of genetic diversity and structure in the endangered Mediterranean shrub Ziziphus lotus (Rhamnaceae). METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty microsatellite primers were developed for Z. lotus, of which 14 were polymorphic. We evaluated microsatellite polymorphism in 97 specimens from 18 Spanish and seven Moro...

Premise Water is the most limiting factor in dryland ecosystems, and plants are adapted to cope with this constraint. Particularly vulnerable phreatophytic from groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) regions that have face water regime alterations due impacts of climate land-use changes. Methods We investigated two aspects related water-use strategy a keystone species dominates one few terrest...

wild jujube, ziziphus lotus, is a multipurpose xerophytic shrub of the rhamnaceae family widely distributed in arid and semi-arid regions of tunisia, where it occupies most soil types. the fruit is the edible part of the plant by local population. the reintroduction of this shrub requires the control of its multiplication in response to water shortage. this study aims to evaluate growth and wat...

Ziziphus Mill. (Rhamnaceae) is comprised of about 170 species that are mainly distributed in tropical to subtropical regions, with few in the temperate zone. Several Ziziphus fruit tree species are important energy, nutrient, and medicinal resources for human populations, particularly for those living in rural regions. To date, limited genomic information is available for this genus. Here, we a...

Honey bees and beekeeping activity are of huge importance for the crop production biodiversity conservation as well economic impact due to ecosystem services. In south Algeria, jujube blooming is an essential forage source honey bees. The aim this study was determine melissopalynological sensory characteristics Algerian honey. Nineteen samples collected in Algeria over period from 2016 2018 wer...

Ziziphus mauritiana Lam. is an important medicinal plant belonging to the family Rhamnaceae. Preliminary phytochemical screening of the leaf extract of Ziziphus mauritiana revealed presence of different types of secondary metabolites such as glycosides, tannins, phenols and saponins. The methanol leaf extracts of Ziziphus mauritiana showed significant activity against Staphylococcus aureusand E...
