Plants belonging to the Apiaceae or Rutaceae accumulate methoxylated psoralens, such as bergapten or xanthotoxin, as the final products of their furanocoumarin biosynthesis, and the rate of accumulation depends on environmental and other cues. Distinct O-methyltransferase activities had been
Cytochrome P450 family 1 (CYP1) enzymes catalyze the metabolic activation of environmental procarcinogens such as benzo[a]pyrene, B[a]P, into carcinogens, which initiates the process of carcinogenesis. Thus, stopping the metabolic activation of procarcinogens can possibly prevent the
Trachyspermum ammi (L.) Syn. Carum copticum (L.) Bth. (Apiaceae) is locally known as Ajowan. Bioassay-directed fractionation of Trachyspermum ammi has resulted in the isolation of thymol which is present in other plants as well. However, its action on blood pressure has not been studied so far. In
This research with a factorial arrangement was undertaken to investigate physiological responses of ajowan plants to foliar treatment of salicylic acid (1 mM) and nano-Fe2O3 (3 mM) under various salinity levels (0, 4, 8, 12 dS m-1 NaCl, respectively). Rising salinity
