Analysis of Chemical Composition and In Vitro and In Vivo Antifungal Activity of Extracts against and , Affecting Apple and Peach Seedlings.

The goal of this investigation was to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo efficiency of extracts against and species associated with apple and peach seedling decline in Tunisian nurseries. A chemical composition of organic extracts was accomplished using liquid chromatography, thin layer chromatography, and gas chromatography analysis. The in vitro test of three aqueous extract doses of against some apple and peach decline agents showed its efficacy in reducing mycelia growth.

Physiological responses and expression of sugar associated genes in faba bean ( L.) exposed to osmotic stress.

Unlabelled: Faba bean ( L.) is the major food legume crop in Tunisia. However, its growth and yield is strongly affected by water-limited environments.

Agronomical traits, phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity in raw and cooked potato tubers growing under saline conditions.

Background: Potato yields and tuber compositions are linked to mechanisms adopted by plants to cope with salinity and often can change after cooking. The current study aimed to evaluate the effects of salinity, variety and cooking method in the composition of potato tubers. Three potato varieties (Spunta, Bellini and Alaska) grown under distinct salt levels (T1: 2.

Chemical composition and antioxidant potential of essential oil and methanol extract from Tunisian and French fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) seeds.

This study was designed to examine the effect of provenance on the phytochemical and antioxidant properties of essential oil and methanolic extract from Tunisian and French fennel seeds (FFS). Analysis of the essential oil showed that although the same main compounds were found in Tunisian and FFS cultivars, some differences were present in their proportions allowing to classify them in two chemotypes. The first class was composed by trans-anethole (63.

Genetic variability in Tunisian populations of faba bean ( L. var. ) assessed by morphological and SSR markers.

The genetic diversity of 21 faba bean populations was examined using morphological and molecular markers. DNA was extracted from 189 individuals and 8 microsatellite markers were genotyped individually in these 21 populations. A total of 53 alleles were obtained in all populations, with an average of 6.

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) and its bioactive constituents.

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), a member of the Apiaceae family, is among most widely used medicinal plant, possessing nutritional as well as medicinal properties. Thus, the aim of this updated review is to highlight the importance of coriander as a potential source of bioactive constituents and to summarize their biological activities as well as their different applications from data obtained in recent literature, with critical analysis on the gaps and potential for future investigations.
