Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMICROWAVE-ASSISTED EXTRACTION OF PHENOLIC ANTIOXIDANTS FROM SEMIARID PLANTSJorge E. Wong-Paz, Juan C. Contreras-Esquivel, Diana Muñiz-Marquez et al.Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) kinetic in three temperatures was investigated for extraction of antioxidant phenolic compounds from Jatropha dioica, Flourensia cernua, Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Turnera diffusa which are plants of semiarid regions of Mexico. The two-site kinetic model and saturation simple equation were used to describe the experimental data. The fit of the data demonstrated that saturation simple equation was better … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 22 Mar 2014 · 7,609 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMobility of Heavy Metals in Plants and Soil: A Case Study From A Mining Region in CanadaM. Mehes-Smith, K. K. Nkongolo, R. Narendrula, E. CholewaUnderstanding the dynamic of metals in soil and plantsis essential for ecosystem management and risks assessment of environmental pollution and sustainability.The main objective of the present study is to determine the mobility of Ni, Cu, Fe, Mg and Zn in soil and their translocation in D. cespitosa plants in a mining region in Northern Ontario.The total amount of Cu, Ni, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 15 Jan 2014 · 8,677 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDisposal of Agro-Industrials Wastes as Soil AmendmentsAli Mekki, Fatma Arous, Fathi Aloui, Sami SayadiWe investigated the fertilizing potential of three agro-industrial wastes (Compost (C), Dehydrated Manures (DM) and Digestate (D)) on soil properties, on seeds germination and the plants growth. Results showed that the addition of wastes modified several soil properties as pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Water Retention Capacity (WRC) and Soil Organic Matter (SOM). Hence, SOM increase from 1.5% in unamended soil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 11 Jan 2014 · 7,014 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMPARATIVE STUDY OF IN VITRO ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITIES OF FOENICULUM VULGARE MILL. (UMBELLIFERAE) EXTRACTKhadija Dahak, Moha TaourirteThe importance to push scientifically the investigations on the organic extracts of the plants aromatic as potential source of new antimicrobial compounds comes from the traditional use of the plants. However, the consumption of these natural products requires à thorough research in this field. The antimicrobial effect of organic and aqueous leaves extracts of Foeniculum vulgare Mill., However, which makes … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 12 Oct 2013 · 8,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnticancer Activity of Isolated Chemical Constituents from Miliusa smithiaeChonthicha Naphong, Wilart Pompimon, Punchavee SombutsiriMiliusa plants belonging to the family Annonaceae are found in Thailand and have been used as Thai traditional medicines. There have been a few previously reports on the chemical constituents of plants in this genus, describing the presence of aporphine alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, styrylpyrones, bis-styryls and homogentisic acid derivatives. Miliusa smithiae, a new species for Thailand and world, has … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Jul 2013 · 7,259 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical Compositions and Resistant Starch Content in Starchy FoodsAnuchita MoongngarmResistant Starch (RS) is one of nature’s most interesting bioactive compounds. There is a wide variety of starchy food plants in Thailand that are good sources of RS, but they have not been well studied. As such, this study was carried out to investigate the potential food source of RS. Twenty-two promising food plants were selected. The samples included (1) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Mar 2013 · 15,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTolerance of Accessions of Glagah (Saccharum spontaneum) to Drought Stress and Their Accumulation of ProlineAminatun Munawarti, Taryono, Endang Semiarti et al.Glagah (wild sugarcane, Saccharum spontaneum) is a perennial grass that grows well in marginal soils. It has a high carbohydrate and fibre content, making it suitable for ethanol production and the study industry. Thus, glagah has potential as a crop species in its own right and may also be used in sugarcane breeding programs. However, glagah germplasm has not been … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 4 Feb 2013 · 7,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidant Potential in Lipophilic and Hydrophilic Extracts from Medicinal Herbs (Salvia officinalis and Echinacea angustifolia). A Comparison Between Assays Based on Electron Paramagnetic Resonance and SpectrophotometryFlavia Navari-Izzo, Riccardo Izzo, Mike F. Quartacci et al.Recently, detection of antioxidant activity of plant extracts has caught the attention of researchers. Determination of antioxidant activity is usually performed using stable free radicals. A number of assays is available for screening the antioxidant activity of food constituents, but few of these methods are applicable to lipophilic substances. EPR is the analytical technique that directly measures free radicals making … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2012 · 9,008 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction and Evaluation of Antibacterial Activity from Selected Flowering PlantsErlina Abdullah, Raha Ahmad Raus, Parveen JamalThe huge diversity of Malaysian flora has various chemical constituents that make them as outstanding natural product candidates for the treatment of infectious diseases. The screening practice for phytochemical compound in them is essential to explore more natural sources to replace synthetic antibiotics, which generally have side effects such as hypersensitivity, immune-suppression and allergic reactions. Antibacterial activities have been detected … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2012 · 16,312 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuppression of Salicylic Acid-Mediated Plant Defense Responses During Initial Infection of Dyer's Woad by Puccinia thlaspeosBradley R. Kropp, Elizabeth ThomasProblem statement: Puccinia thlaspeos is a microcyclic rust pathogen that is being investigated as a potential biocontrol agent of the noxious weed, dyer’s woad (Isatis tinctoria). Although, the initial events in the colonization of dyer’s woad by the rust pathogen has been elucidated using scanning electron microscopy and PCR, little is known regarding the susceptibility response of this plant to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 4 Aug 2011 · 8,033 accessesView PDFCite
