    Abstract: The medicinal properties attributed to resins of this plant in Sudanese traditional medicine prompted us to study the chemical composition of the oil. The GC/MS chromatogram of the oil revealed the presence of 58.86% monoterpenes and 23.28% sesquiterpenes. Predominant monoterpenoids were; m-cymene (21.56%), linalool (7.21%) and p-mentha-1-en-8-ol (... Show More

    Abstract: As shade adapted organisms the conchocelis of Pyropia contain high concentrations of photosynthetic pigments, making the conchocelis a potential source for the extraction of bioactive pigments such as phycoerythrin, phycocyanin and carotenoids. The pigment content of Pyropia conchocelis in response to environmental factors is poorly known. Investig... Show More

    Abstract: Phospholipids (PLs) of neuronal membranes are active universal neuromodulators. They regulate many functions of the neurons, including receptors signaling, which during a hemorrhagic shock (HS) get damaged, leading to encephalopathy. An analysis of the data, presented in this review, suggests that the dysregulation of PL metabolism in synaptic memb... Show More

    Abstract: Low temperature or cold stress is one of the major abiotic stresses for bean seeds production. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of cold stress on Phaseolusvulgaris l seeds by doing different types of tests(germination studies, respiration response, conductivity test, amylase and catalase test) at different temperatures like roo...
