NaCl salinity affects germination, growth, physiology, and biochemistry of bambara groundnut
(Sociedade Brasileira de Fisiologia Vegetal, 2012)
The effects of NaCl salinity on seed germination, growth, physiology, and biochemistry of two bambara groundnut landraces (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc), Kakamega (white seed coat) and Mumias (red seed coat), were investigated ...
Variations of Fatty Acids Levels in Young Shoots of Clonal Tea With Location of Production and Nitrogenous Fertilizer Rates in the Kenya Highlands
(Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology, 2012)
Tea leaves contain unsaturated fatty acids, key precursors of volatile compounds contributing to tea aroma quality. Tea is cultivated in areas with diverse environmental conditions. Nitrogenous fertilizers influence tea ...
Physiological and biochemical responses of five nerica rice varieties (Oryza sativa L.) to water deficit at vegetative and reproductive stage
(2012)
Food shortage is a major problem in sub Saharan Africa as population increases. Over 89% of Kenyans are food poor and are malnourished especially in rural areas. NERICA (New Rice for Africa) are high yielding rainfed rice ...
In Vitro Permeation of Mesembrine Alkaloids from Sceletium tortuosum across Porcine Buccal, Sublingual, and Intestinal Mucosa
(Planta Medica, 2012)
Sceletium tortuosum is an indigenous South African plant that has traditionally been used for its mood-enhancing properties. Recently, products containing S. tortuosum have become increasingly popular and are commonly ...
Validated RP-UHPLC PDA and GC–MS methods for the analysis of psychoactive alkaloids in Sceletium tortuosum
(Elservier, 2012)
Anecdotal evidence indicates that Sceletium tortuosum has been used as a psychoactive preparation for several centuries. The psychological activity
is attributed to the production of mesembrine-type alkaloids (mesembrenol, ...

The chemotypic variation of Sceletium tortuosum alkaloids and commercial product formulations
(Elservier, 2012)
Commercial production and trade in Sceletium tortuosum and its products is on the rise due to an increase in consumer demand. Mesembrine-type alkaloids are the main active compounds responsible for the therapeutic properties ...
The chemotypic variation of Sceletium tortuosum alkaloids and commercial product formulations
(Pergamon, 2012)
Commercial production and trade in Sceletium tortuosum and its products is on the rise due to an increase in consumer demand. Mesembrine-type alkaloids are the main active compounds responsible for the therapeutic properties ...
An HPTLC-densitometry method for the quantification of pharmacologically active alkaloids in Sceletium tortuosum raw material and products
(Akadémiai Kiadó, 2012)
Mesembrine-type alkaloids are reported to be responsible for the psychoactive properties of Sceletium tortuosum. The aim of the study was to develop a simple, rapid, and precise high-performance thin-layer chromatography ...
