Abstract Taxol is an anticancer drug that widely used in cancer treatment worldwide. Since the source of a plant, increase its production one concerns researchers. One way to use stimulants for secondary metabolite production. Therefore, this study, methyl jasmonate was as bioelicitor, and effect on evaluated. For purpose, Taxus baccata elicited 48 72 hours with concentrations at 0, 100, 250, 5...

Phytochemical investigations of Taxus baccata L. by successive chromatographic methods resulted in the isolation of the lignans lariciresinol (1), taxiresinol (2), 3'-demethylisolariciresinol-9'-hydroxyisopropylether (3), isolariciresinol (4), and 3-demethylisolariciresinol (5) as well as taxoids. Compounds 1-5 were evaluated for their acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), ...

Botanical fruits derive from ovaries and their most important function is to favor seed dispersal. Fleshy fruits do so by attracting frugivorous animals that disperse seeds together with their own excrements (endozoochory). Gymnosperms make seeds but have no ovaries to be transformed into fruits. Many species surround their seeds with fleshy structures and use endozoochory to disperse them. Suc...

Plant fitness and species persistence depend on seed quantity their ability to germinate produce viable offspring. Although maternal environment can have a great impact quality, few studies are pointing the transgenerational effect of germination rate offspring traits. Moreover, global changes connected nitrogen phosphorus deposition also plants’ reproductive performance. Here, we collected Tax...
