daucus capillifolius/necrosis

In 2011, carrot (Daucus carota L.) seed production occurred on 2,900 ha, which accounts for approximately 25% of the area devoted to the production of vegetable fine seeds. Since 2007, symptoms of umbel browning have been regularly observed in carrot production areas located in the central region.

In the 1995 to 1996 winter vegetable season, a leaf spot disease of cilantro (fresh coriander) (Coriandrum sativum L.) was widespread throughout commercial plantings in the Everglades Agricultural Area south and east of Lake Okeechobee. Symptoms first appeared as water-soaked spots ≤1 mm in

In animal cells, recent studies have emphasized the role played by DNA topoisomerase I (topo I) both as a cofactor of DNA repair complexes and/or as a damage sensor. All these functions are still unexplored in plant cells, where information concerning the relationships between DNA damage, PCD

Previous studies in our laboratory showed that Daucus carota oil extract (DCOE) possesses in vitro and in vivo anticancer activities. Chemical analysis of DCOE led to the isolation of β-2-himachalen-6-ol (HC) which exhibited potent anticancer activity against colon, breast, brain and skin cancer

BACKGROUND Previous studies in our laboratory showed that Daucus carota oil extract (DCOE) possesses remarkable in-vitro anticancer activity and antitumour promoting effect against DMBA/TPA skin carcinogenesis in mice. Chemical analysis of DCOE led to the isolation of the β-2-himachalen-6-ol (HC),

The present study was developed to determine the ability of polyphenol-rich black carrot and its by-products, i.e., peel and pomace, to modulate the inflammatory response in tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) treated endothelial cells after gastrointestinal digestion and in a co-culture of intestinal

OBJECTIVE In Indo China, carrots have been reported to regulate the functions of the stomach and intestines. The objective of the present investigation was to unravel the therapeutic potential of 50% ethanol extract from Daucus carota roots (EDC) on antisecretory, gastroprotective, and in vitro

β-2-himachalen-6-ol (HC), a novel sesquiterpene derived from Lebanese wild carrot, was shown to possess a remarkable anticancer activity. The present study investigates the in vitro anticancer activity of HC and its effect on papillomas induced using a DMBA/TPA skin carcinogenesis mouse model.
