The effect of melatonin (MT) on potato plants under drought stress is still unclear in the available literature. Here, we studied MT as a foliar application at 0, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mM grown well-watered stressed conditions during most critical period early tuberization stage. results indicated that conditions, exogenous significantly (p ≤ 0.05) improved shoot fresh weight, dry chlorophyll (Chl; a, b + b), leaf relative water content (RWC), free amino acids (FAA), non-reducing sugars, total...
Plant species composition patterns and vegetation types were investigated along Elevational Gradients in Al Baha region, Saudi Arabia. Sandy plain, wadis, drainage lines, rocky outcrops, hills fallow lands occur over a wide geographic range encompassing variation plant communities among these different ecological sites. To provide quantitatively based classification of the we used Multi Variant Statistical Package (MVSP) software, followed by re-arrangement matrix similar rows sample sites...
Evaluation of antioxidant and anticancer activities were screened by various Saururus chinensis root extracts. Four solvents (ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol, water) extracts investigated for their total flavonoids, phenol contents activity DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), NO (nitric oxide), H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide), ABTS 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonicacid)diammonium assays, FRAP (ferric reducing ability plasma) assays activity. The phenolic flavonoid content...
Introduction Recent advancements in nanotechnology present promising opportunities for enhancing crop resilience adverse environmental conditions. Methods In this study, we conducted a factorial experiment to investigate the influence of potassium nanosilicate (PNS) on sorghum plants exposed varying degrees drought stress A randomized complete block design with three replications was employed subject different The levels were designated as non-stress (NS at -0.03 MPa), moderate (MD -0.6 and...
Wild relatives of okra represent a good source variation for breeding programs, particularly traits related to biotic and abiotic stresses fruit quality. However, wild species remain largely unexploited breeding. The cultivated accession Abelmoschus esculentus cv. ‘Arka Anamika’ was crossed with three accessions: manihot, ficulens moschatus. crossability estimated based on set, seed set germination rate. results cross compatibility studies revealed that the crosses are compatible only when...
To evaluate phytochemical constituents from the methanolic extracts of medicinal plants Aloe castellorum and pseudorubroviolacea. The cytotoxic activity pseudorubroviolacea leaf against Human colon cancer cell line (HCT-116) was also assessed. two plant having significant activity, meanwhile extract shows higher than extract. remarkable respective control. characteristic chemical were recognized Gas chromatography Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique. molecular docking studies support activity.
Potato (Solanum tuberosum) showed a well-established mutualistic association with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. In the present study, earthen pots containing autoclaved soil were taken in which surface sterilized potato seeds sown. The seed sowed inoculated by spores of fungi along maize-root fragments, while rest half filled pots, without any inoculation depicting control but provided non-inoculated maize root fragments. was performed twice; first done 3 days prior to sowing and second at...
Human Group IIA secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2-IIA) enzyme plays a crucial role in several chronic inflammatory diseases such asasthma, atherosclerosis, gout, bronchitis, etc. Several studies showed that the antioxidants exert an anti-inflammatory function by inhibiting sPLA2-IIA enzyme. Hence, present study evaluated antioxidant molecule, sinapic acid, for inhibition as function. Initially, efficacy of acid was evaluated, and it greater potency. Further, inhibited 94.4 ± 4.83% activity...
An endangered and rare species Aloe pseudorubroviolacea from the plant family Asphodelaceae which is presently recorded as in Saudi Arabia collected Al-Baha region of its GPS Latitude Longitude coordinates 19.8345, 41.5481. The chloroplast matK rbcL gene was considered this study based on molecular identification size about 571 664 bp respectively. From sequence analysis confirm that very much closely related with A. rubroviolacea also inter Astroloba rubriflora, Chrysopogon gryllus,...
Wild plants can contain bioactive compounds with potential activity against disease-causing microorganisms. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, there are many plant species that may have antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral activities, among other properties. We extracted methanol as well water from leaves Breonadia salicina, which is an endangered found in wild Arabia. These extracts were tested bacteria Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella sonnei, Escherichia coli, and...
The rare and endangered plants of any country are important genetic resources that often require urgent conservation measures. Assessment phylogenetic relationships evaluation diversity is very prior to implementation strategies for saving plant species. We used internal transcribed spacer sequences nuclear ribosomal DNA the sequence identity from available taxa in GenBank database by using Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). Two species viz, Heliotropium strigosum claded with H....
Purpose: To evaluate the larvicidal, nematicidal, antifeedant, and antifungal effects of 10 solvent extracts Mentha spicata root.Methods: Ten were investigated for their total flavonoid phenolic content screened activities. The was determined using Folin–Ciocalteu method, while by aluminium chloride (AlCl3) colorimetric assay. Four solvents activity against Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, recultured Cryptococcus neoformans, Microsporum audouinii agar diffusion method. nematicidal...
