Non-cultivated plants may be as susceptible as crops to aflatoxin contamination. Concentrations of aflatoxins in commonly consumed wild fruits from markets and characteristics of associated aflatoxin-producers need to be determined to assess the aflatoxin risk posed by handling, processing, storage, and consumption. Samples of Schinziophyton rautanenii (n = 22), Vangueriopsis lanciflora (n = 7), Thespesia garckeana (n = 17), Parinari curatellifolia (n = 17), Ziziphus spp. (n = 10), Adansonia digitata (n = 9), and Tamarindus indica (n = 23) were assayed for aflatoxin using lateral-flow immunochromatography from 2016 to 2017. Aflatoxins were above Zambia’s regulatory Edited by: limit (10 mg/kg) in S. rautanenii (average = 57 mg/kg), V. lanciflora (average = 12 mg/kg), Mehdi Razzaghi-Abyaneh, Pasteur Institute of Iran (PII), Iran and T. garckeana (average = 11 mg/kg).

  • CHEMISTRY and HISTOLOGY of the GLANDS of the COTTON PLANT, with NOTES on the OCCURRENCE of SIMILAR GLANDS in RELATED Plantsl
    CHEMISTRY AND HISTOLOGY OF THE GLANDS OF THE COTTON PLANT, WITH NOTES ON THE OCCURRENCE OF SIMILAR GLANDS IN RELATED PLANTSl By ERNEST E. STANFORD, Scientific Assistant, and ARNO VIEHOEVER, Pharmacog- nosist in Charge, Pharmacognosy Laboratory, Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture INTRODUCTION The work herein reported forms a portion of a chemical and biological investigation of the cotton plant (Gossypium spp.), the purpose of which is to isolate and determine the substance or substances which attract the boll weevil. A previous paper (77)2 discusses the isolation of certain glucosids and the products of their hydrolysis, as well as preliminary studies of an ethereal oil which manifested some attraction for the boll weevil. Both the glucosids and this oil, as well as several other sub- stances, are largely localized in prominent internal glands which are very numerous in nearly all parts of the cotton plant. The main purpose of this paper is to discuss the occurrence, formation, structure, and con- tents of these glands. Glands of another type, more properly referred to as "nectaries/' also occur in the cotton plant. These are superficial in position and definitely localized. The internal glands have nothing in common with these nectaries save the function of secretion. In certain taxonomic and other literature, however, either or both types are referred to indis- criminately simply as "glands." Therefore, it seems advisable also to discuss briefly in this paper the nature and occurrence of the nectaries, in order to distinguish them clearly from the internal secretory organs, which form the main subject of the present study.

Corresponding author* [email protected] Manuscript received: 18 May, 2020. Revision accepted: 10 November, 2020. Published: 17 November, 2020. Abstract Azanza garckeana is a popular fruit tree in Nigeria, specifically in Gombe State, where it is locally called ‘goron tula’ which means ‘Kola of Tula’. It is also found in part of some African countries. Different plant part of this small tree/shrub has recorded different uses by the locals; uses ranging from its fruits being edible and others parts helping to remedy different diseases, especially sexually related diseases. It also records use as booster for sexual performance. The uses of the plant are majorly attributed to the presence of chemicals. Its local use initiates the necessity of this review to enhance the research for drug discovery since Chemicals are the chief constituencies responsible for its medicinal importance.

  • Mass Spectrometry of Picolinyl Esters of Cyclopropene Fatty Acids*
    980 Eur. J. Lipid Sci. Technol. 2011, 113, 980–984 Research Article Fatty acids of Thespesia populnea: Mass spectrometry of picolinyl esters of cyclopropene fatty acids* Gerhard Knothe1, Umer Rashid2, Suzana Yusup2 and Farooq Anwar3,4 1 National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Peoria, IL, USA 2 Chemical Engineering Department, Universiti Technologi PETRONAS, Bandar Sari Iskandar, Tronoh, Perak, Malaysia 3 Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan 4 Faculty of Food Science and Technology, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia Thespesia populnea belongs to the plant family of Malvaceae which contain cyclopropane and cyclopropene fatty acids. However, previous literature reports vary regarding the content of these compounds in Thespesia populnea seed oil. In this work, the content of malvalic acid (8,9-methylene- 9-heptadecenoic acid) in the fatty acid profile of Thespesia populnea seed oil was approximately 7% by GC. Two cyclopropane fatty acids were identified, including dihydrosterculic acid. The methyl and picolinyl esters of Thespesia populnea seed oil were also prepared. The mass spectrum of picolinyl malvalate was more closely investigated, especially an ion at m/e 279, which does not fit the typical series of ions observed in picolinyl esters. It is shown that this ion is caused by cleavage at the picolinyl moiety and contains the fatty acid chain without the picolinyl moiety. This type of cleavage has previously not been observed prominently in picolinyl esters and may therefore be diagnostic for picolinyl esters of cyclopropene fatty acids. The NMR spectra of Thespesia populnea methyl esters are also discussed.

It's a small, arborescent tree or shrub. Thespesiapopulnea flowers methanol extract with high antibacterial activity of flavonoids , alkaloids, tannins and anthroquion glycosides, phenolic antioxidants steroids. Methanol extracts from the floral buds have shown antifungal activity. The ethanol extracts from the flowers were exhibiting antihepatotoxic activity. The flowers produce a water-soluble, yellowish colour. Eichhornia Crassipes is a freely floating annual aquatic plant native to southern tropical America, also known as water hyacinthe. It is considered the worlds most troubling aquatic weeds, introduced in India in 1896 as an ornamental plant. The plant also has delicate lilac flowers that can be used to make dye. An effect that arises between two or more agent entities, factors, or substances that produce an effect greater than the sum of their dual effects on Indi. It's antagonism to the contrary. It had a synergistic impact on the item and they all started to play harder and work even more effectively together. In this study , the two flowers extraction selected were mixed in order to be effective By combining the extraction of water hyacinth flowers with the extraction of Portia flowers we can get another new colour and improved values of the presented properties.

  • Cytotaxonomy of Malvaceae III. Meiotic Studies of Hibiscus, Abelmoschus , Azanza, Thespesia, Malachra, Urena and Pavonia
    Cytologia 47: 109-116, 1982 Cytotaxonomy of Malvaceae III. Meiotic studies of Hibiscus, Abelmoschus , Azanza, Thespesia, Malachra, Urena and Pavonia Aparna Dasgupta and R. P. Bhatt1 Department of Pharmacy , S. V. Govt. Polytechnic., Bhopal, India Received January 22, 1980 Family Malvaceae includes many familier plants of cultivation notably cotton . Cytological work on economically important plants of this family has received greater attention, though work has also been done on a few wild species by some workers like Youngman (1927), Davie (1933), Skovsted (1935, 1941), Bates (1967), Bates and Blanchard (1970), Hazra and Sharma (1971), Kachecheba (1972), Bhatt and Dasgupta (1976). However, detailed meiotic study has not been done on many genera and species of the family which is necessary to know the type of ploidy and the basic numbers of chromosomes from which the evolution might have progressed . The present investigation includes 15 species belonging to the tribe Hibisceae and Ureneae of the family Malvaceae. The species of the tribe Ureneae are simple polyploids of seven (Skovsted 1935) which has also been noticed in the present work. However, different chromosome numbers have been reported in the tribe Hibisceae. This vast range of chromosome numbers in the tribe especially necessiated the study of chromosome numbers and the ploidy level. This investigation also aimed at understanding the basic chromosome numbers from which the evolution is supposed to have progressed and the evaluation of systematic position of different taxa as understood at present. Out of 15 species studied meiotic study has been done for the first time in Hibis cus vitifolius, H. hirtus, H.
