Available online:10th June, 2016 ABSTRACT Toxic plants are found to have potential therapeutic activities. They have been used in the treatment of a number of dis- eases. Recently there is an increasing demand and interest in bioactive natural products from plants for the purpose of their use in herbal medicine. So critical evaluation of their toxicity has become necessary. This article provides the de- tailed toxicity information of the phytochemical constituents from the toxic plant Anagallis arvensis (Family Primula- ceae). The plant is toxic to ruminants but it has great potential to treat diseases like Gout, Leprosy, Epilepsy, Urinary infection etc. The phytochemical constituents isolated from the toxic plant have Antibacterial, Antifungal, Antiviral, An- titumour, Antidiabetic, Antidepressant, Anti-inflammatory and Hepatoprotective activities. Some bioactives are having therapeutic activity, no reported toxicity and were predicted to be less toxic. Many actives from this plant have not been explored for any activity and their toxicity has not been determined. These actives were found to be less toxic through the toxicity prediction tool. This study would be important for exploiting the potential of such actives which may further prove to be promising natural products for medicinal and cosmetic use.

Pollen tube growth rates (PTGRs) of angiosperms are exceptionally rapid, a pattern 25 attributed to more effective haploid selection under stronger pollen competition.

  • Taxonomic Significance of Stamens and Pollen Morphology of Some
    eISSN: 2357-044X Taeckholmia 40 (2020): 1-11 Taxonomic significance of stamens and pollen morphology of some selected taxa of Primulaceae in Egypt Mona Adel Shiha Biology and Geology Department, Faculty of Education, Alexandria University Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The circumscription study of Primulaceae is still uncertain and remains controversial. Stamens and pollen grains morphological characters of five species and one variety representing five genera viz., Anagallis, Lysimachia, Coris, Primula and Samolus of Primulaceae in Egypt have been studied using LM and SEM. The specific target of the present study is to evaluate the taxonomic value of the macro and micromorphological characters of stamens and pollen grains in order to distinguish between the studied species. The obtained results showed remarkable variations in anther shape, anther dehiscence, filament attachment and presence of trichomes on the anther filament. Pollen grains are radially symmetrical, isopolar, spheroidal-subprolate to prolate, with amb angulaperturate or fossaperturate and tricolpate or tricolporate. Tectum is microreticulate, reticulate with perforated lumine and clavate exine ornamentation. Out of the studied taxa Coris monspeliensis is distinguished by the presence of prominent margo, reticulate exine ornamentation, minute luminal perforations decreasing towards the colpi, orbicular anther shape, latrorse dehiscence of anthers with short longitudinal slit and presence of glandular diseriate trichomes at the base of the filaments. Clavate exine ornamentation as well as lanceolate anther shape, extrorse dehiscence and short filament can distinguished Samolus valerandi from the remaining studied taxa. An artificial key for the studied species was constructed based on stamens and pollen morphological criteria is provided. Keywords: Anther dehiscence, Exine ornamentation, Primulaceae, Pollen grain, Stamen Introduction Primulaceae (order Ericales) controversial.

In ripe, open fruits the ball-shaped columella detaches easily and becomes a unique diaspore, which can roll on the ground.

E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract The Libyan flora was last documented in a series of volumes published between 1976 and 1989. Since then there has been a substantial realignment of family and generic boundaries and the discovery of many new species. The lack of an update or revision since 1989 means that the Libyan Flora is now out of date and requires a reassessment using modern approaches. Here we report initial efforts to provide an updated checklist covering 43 families out of the 150 in the published flora of Libya, including 138 genera and 411 species. Updating the circumscription of taxa to follow current classification results in 11 families (Coridaceae, Guttiferae, Leonticaceae, Theligonaceae, Tiliaceae, Sterculiaceae, Bombacaeae, Sparganiaceae, Globulariaceae, Asclepiadaceae and Illecebraceae) being included in other generally broader and less morphologically well-defined families (APG-IV, 2016). As a consequence, six new families: Hypericaceae, Adoxaceae, Lophiocarpaceae, Limeaceae, Gisekiaceae and Cleomaceae are now included in the Libyan Flora.

    1 The potential use of culinary vegetable oils as herbicides: the effect of oil processing and 2 repeated applications on plant growth 3 4 Simon Hodge1,2*, Charles N Merfield1, Arthur Bluon1, Nadine A Berry2, Dean M O’Connell1 5 1 - Future Farming Centre, Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand. 6 2 - Faculty of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Lincoln University, Canterbury, New Zealand. 7 * - author for correspondence: [email protected] 8 9 10 Key words: cooking oil; olive oil; rapeseed oil; sunflower oil; linseed oil; flax oil; organic farming 11 Running head: Culinary oils as organic weed control agents. 12 13 14 15 Word count: 5860 16 17 1 18 Summary 19 This study tested the herbicidal effects of raw and processed culinary or house-hold oils (rapeseed oil, 20 sunflower oil, olive oil, flax/linseed oils) on nine plant species (poppy, white clover, alyssum, lupin, 21 buckwheat, mustard, oats, perennial ryegrass, tall fescue) that are potential weeds in the Canterbury 22 region of New Zealand. Oils were also tested on weeds that had naturally emerged from farm soil. Oils 23 were sprayed onto foliage of potted plants using a pressurized hand pump, and the plants maintained 24 either in a glasshouse or outdoor plant facility until harvest approximately 5 weeks after oil 25 application. All the oils tested caused a decrease in plant dry matter, compared to water-sprayed 26 control treatments, in some cases. Spraying plants with rapeseed oil on multiple occasions tended not 27 to be more phytotoxic than only a single spraying. Raw or organic oils were not more phytotoxic than 28 processed versions of the same oil type.
