| aphyllin, the first isoferulic acid glycoside and other phenolics from tamarix aphylla flowers. | the first glycosylated isoferulic acid, isoferulic acid 3-o-beta-glucopyranoside, together with the new phenolics, tamarixetin 3,3'-di-sodium sulphate and dehydrodigallic acid dimetyl ester have been characterized from a flower extract of tamarix aphylla. the structures were established on the basis of spectral data. the extract exhibited a distinct radical scavenging effect and to improve the viability of human keratinocytes (hacat cells). also, the known isoferulic acid and ferulic acid which ... | 2009 | 19530447 |
| diverse microhabitats experienced by halomonas variabilis on salt-secreting leaves. | the leaf surfaces of the salt-excreting tree tamarix aphylla harbor a wide diversity of halophilic microorganisms, including halomonas sp., but little is known of the factors that shape community composition in this extreme habitat. we isolated a strain of halomonas variabilis from the leaf surface of t. aphylla and used it to determine the heterogeneity of salt concentrations experienced by bacteria in this environment. this halophilic strain was transformed with a prou::gfp reporter gene fusio ... | 2013 | 23160133 |
| ethnopharmacological assessment of medicinal plants used against livestock infections by the people living around indus river. | the present study was aimed to document detailed ethnopharmacological knowledge of medicinal plants against livestock infections of an unexplored remote region of pakistan. semistructured questionnaires were used for data collection. total 43 plants belonging to 26 families were found to be used in ethnoveterinary practices. seeds (29%) were found to be the most frequent plant part used followed by leaves (22%). ethnoveterinary recipes were mostly prepared in the form of decoction and powdering. ... | 2014 | 25544941 |
| evaluation of different biomass materials as feedstock for fermentable sugar production. | saline crops and autoclaved municipal organic solid wastes were evaluated for their potential to be used as feedstock for fermentable sugar production through dilute acid pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis. the saline crops included two woods, athel (tamarix aphylla l) and eucalyptus (eucalyptus camaldulensis), and two grasses, jose tall wheatgrass (agropyron elongatum), and creeping wild rye (leymus triticoides). each of the biomass materials was first treated with dilute sulfuric acid under ... | 2007 | 18478406 |
| analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic activities of aqueous ethanolic extract of tamarix aphylla l. (saltcedar) in mice. | the objective of the study was to investigate the analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic activity of aqueous ethanolic extracts of tamarix aphylla. the powdered plant was extracted by the method of cold maceration using aqueous ethanol (70:30) as solvents. analgesic activity was assessed by eddy's hot plate method, formalin-induced paw licking and acetic acid-induced writhing in mice. anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by carageenan-induced mice paw edema. the anti-pyretic activity ... | 2014 | 25362598 |
| nutritive value of some herbages for dromedary camel in iran. | to prepare standard tables of chemical composition of feedstuffs and to determine digestibility and palatability of different plant species in dromedary camel, this research was carried out by considering the most consuming herbages of iranian desert rages. the plant species were included atriplex lentiformis, alhagi persarum, seidlitzia rosmarinus, saueda fruticosa, haloxylon ammodendron, tamarix kotschyi, hammada salicornica, salsola yazdiana, salsola tomentosa, tamarix aphylla and artemisia s ... | 2007 | 19070008 |
