Endophytic fungi are widely known to reside in plant tissues causing no harm host plants or even noticeable change. They may colonize for a part of their life cycle complete the entire since provide variety novel metabolites. Despite being close relationship with medicinal plants, diversity and metabolic spectrum endophytic have not been researched well. Their ecological niche as symbionts make them attractive targets search biochemicals. We aimed isolate, purify, characterize fungal population cultivated Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The goal was achieved through morphological identification internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions rRNA analyses determine phylogeny diversity. Three aromatic Jasminum sambac, Camellia sinensis, Ocimum basilicum collected from Riyadh region, Arabia were investigated. In total, 84 isolates purified they grouped into 20 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) per sequences ITS rRNA. Twenty species 12 genera i.e. Neopestalotiopsis, Trichoderma, Fusarium, Colletotrichum, Myrothecium, Chaetomium, Alternaria, Phoma, Curvularia, Cladosporium, Neodidymelliopsis, Aspergillus all belonged Ascomycota phylum. J. sambac found dominant among other had relative frequency 27%. C. sinensis next 18.7% frequency. prominently recorded leaf organs over stem roots while exhibited lowest Isolates also produced indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic (ACC) deaminase enzyme, siderophores variable magnitudes that could be assigned wide range variations species. Conclusively, O. good source certain growth-promoting traits. Overall, Alternaria most predominant genus terms colonization rate. Further deternminations required screen beneficial compounds released by these fungi.

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is a major industrial crop that has being cultivated for centuries the manufacturing of cigarettes, cigars, and other smoking products. Due to its negative effects on both human health environment, European Union adopted strict policies aspire reduce consumption tobacco. Herbal cigarettes are alternative products often advertised as healthier than conventional tobacco especially popular in Asian markets. Even though available literature suggests they equally detrimental health, introduction tobacco-alternative crops (TACs) industry could smoothen abandonment tobacco, eventually altogether, EU. The aim present systematic review was compile list possible TACs be incorporated industry, highlight their strengths weaknesses. most dominant (and existing market products) were calendula (Calendula officinalis L.), mullein (Verbascum thapsus ginseng (Panax C.A.Mey.), tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze), chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla mentha (Mentha spp.). these promising, further research required incorporation industry.

Abstract Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the sodium compound derived from glutamic acid. Excessive daily ingestion of MSG leads to elevated amounts acid in bloodstream, which can be detrimental brain structures. Camellia sinensis, often known as green tea (GT), a rich source essential hexogen antioxidants that are necessary for body. Thirty-two adult male albino rats were divided into four groups ( n = 8). Group 1 served control -ve group. 2 was given GT (1.5 ml/rat/day). 3 (600 mg/kg/day). 4 mg/kg/day) and All treatments orally 28 days. administration resulted significant neurotoxicity revealed by reduction serum concentration glutathione peroxidase (GPx) nitric oxide (NO), elevation total antioxidant capacity (TAC) accompanied levels monoamines (dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine) histological changes hippocampus area CA1, dentate gyrus, cerebellar cortex positive immunohistochemical staining glial fibrillary acidic proteins (GFAP) calretinin.
