The use of plant to meet health-care needs has greatly increased worldwide in the recent times. search for new plant-derived bioactive agents that can be explored treatment drug-resistant malaria infection is urgently needed. Thus, we evaluated antimalarial activity three medicinal plants used Nigerian folklore infection. A modified Peter's 4-day suppressive test was evaluate extracts a mouse model chloroquine-resistant Plasmodium berghei ANKA strain. Animals were treated with 250, 500, or...
Salt is regarded as a main cause for reduced yield under challenging conditions. Mungbean, valuable protein crop, sensitive to salt stress, leading shortage. The growth hormone, salicylic acid (SA), enhances several processes necessary confer tolerance and relieves poor agricultural yield. Seeds of mungbean were initially pretreated with SA (0.5 mM) 4 h before sowing, while cumulative combination + regimes: control, SA, 100 mM, +100 200 mM +200 mM. Our study examined photosynthesis...
Seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Ife Brown sown in the site at close proximity to a cement factory (polluted), produced sprawling plants with their life span shortened by 28 days, low pod yield, few and small sized seeds. The time flower initiation, formation ripening was markedly reduced. These accumulated significantly high (17.01 micromol mol(-1)) concentration aluminium (a constituent cement) leaves copper (13.68 Furthermore, showed uptake iron prominent from iron-rich polluted site....
Two cultivars of Glycine max (L) Merril. (TGX536-02D and TGX 923-2E designated cv.A cv.B respectively), were subjected to water stress for a period 7 days at the vegetative (T2), flowering/fruiting (T3) seed development (T4) stages growth, with control (T1). Stress was considered moderate T2 stage (Iw : -1.53 -1.57 MPa) severe T3and T4 -2.23 -2.67 MPa). Leaf potential ) relative content (RWC) significantly reduced (p
The antimicrobial potential of Garuleum woodii root extracts were investigated using 96 wells microplate and agar dilution methods, against selected human pathogenic bacteria fungi strains. qualitative phytochemical screening of the revealed presence alkaloids, tannins, saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids glycosides. exhibited varied degrees inhibitions, but water extract was most potent both Gram negative positive strains with minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) ranging from 0.09 to 3.13...
Salicylic acid (SA) a signal molecule which is responsible for inducing defense mechanisms in plants and also has protective role stress sensitivity. A study was conducted to determine the effect of water deficit on growth Lactuca sativa L. (Lettuce) using SA (1 mM 3 mM) during reduced leaf potential. Plants were subjected 7 days drought after four weeks growth. Stressed exhibited lower potential (ψw) -0.499 MPa as compared with control (ψw -0.460 MPa). ψw reduction almost all parameters...
The composition of minta effluent and its effect on the phenology, growth yield seeds Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp var. Ife brown, were investigated. was highly acidic (pH 3.74) concentrations Ca, Mg SO4 appreciable (107.07, 351.47 221.11 mg L(-1), respectively). Germination sown in delayed by a day, reduced 2% not synchronous. Phenological investigations showed that plants grown soil watered with had 4-5 days delay staking, bud formation, flower initiation, fruiting, pod ripening plant...
The search for medicinal plants with novel properties therapeutical potentials is a continuum. preliminary phytochemical analysis, antimicrobial and proximate contents of Costus spectabilis leaf root harvested from different soil types were studied following standard protocols. ethyl ethanoate extracts assayed against six microbial cultures Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29523), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 27853), Bacillus subtilis 6633), Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, clavatus using the agar...
