Aims: Conservation agriculture has been recommended as an option to mitigate climate change impact when practicing conventional, to ensure sustainability and food security This study examined the effect of conventional tillage (CT) and no tillage (NT) on mineral elements uptake, total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) of barley. Study Design:  Split-plot design was applied for this study. Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was conducted in ESAK station (Boulifa, kef, North West Tunisia) during 2016/2017 cultivation year. Methodology: Mineral elements uptake, total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) of barley were studied as affected by conventional tillage (CT) and no tillage (NT) for tillering and grain filling stages. Results: The results showed that tillage practices (T) had no significant effect on mineral uptake, total phenolic content and total flavonoids content under rainfed conditions. The stage (S) had showed significant effects on P, Ca and Na amounts for both tillage practices when it had no effect on K amount. The interaction T x S had no significant effect on mineral elements concentrations and TFC. However, this interaction had affected TPC significantly. Phosphorous (P) showed high significant positive correlations with Ca and Na. In addition, P presented high significant negative correlations with TPC and TFC. For partial correlation based on Tillage practices, similar correlations values were noted.  Considering the partial correlation based on plant stages, no significant correlations had been noted. Conclusion: This work enlarges our knowledge on barley mineral elements uptake, TPC and TFC as influenced by tillage practices aiding decision makers in increasing no tillage adoption in Tunisia under rainfed conditions.

The current investigation is intended to evaluate the content of phytochemical constituents and antioxidant potential of hydroalcoholic extracts of stem and root of Grewia serrulata DC (HAESGS & HAERGS) and leaf and bark of Grewia Nervosa (Lour.) panigrahi (HAELGN & HAEBGN). Initially, all the extracts at different concentrations were estimated for their total phenolic content and total flavonoid content. The study was further extended for their antioxidant potential evaluation using various in vitro methods such as 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, hydroxyl radical and superoxide radical scavenging assays. The total phenolic content (mg gallic acid equivalent per gram of extract) was high in HAELGN (170.82±0.19) and HAERGS (123.00±0.48) than HAESGS (111.2±0.26) and HAEBGN (119.60±0.23). The total flavonoid content (mg quercetin equivalent per gram) is greater in HAERGS (71.24±0.50) and HAESGS (65.68±0.27) than HAELGN (55.82±0.35) and HAEBGN (62.38±0.45). The IC50 values (µg/ml) of different plant extracts inferred that DPPH radical scavenging activity is greater in HAELGN (42.91±0.88) and HAEBGN (53.87±0.35) than HAESGS (126.73±1.20) and HAERGS (88.87±1.25). However, hydroxyl and superoxide radical scavenging activity is more in HAERGS (135.41±1.19 & 88.00±1.42) and HAELGN (172.28±1.91 & 108.163±1.09) than HAESGS (237.3±1.65 & 110.074±0.87) and HAEBGN (204.7±1.04 & 125.54±1.07). The results of present comprehensive analysis demonstrated that both the plants Grewia serrulata DC and Grewia Nervosa (Lour.) panigrahi possess high phenolic, flavonoid contents and potential antioxidant activity, and could be used as a valid source of natural antioxidants and might be utilized for pharmacological screening of various therapeutic activities.

Natural substances extracted from plants have been gaining attraction as protective agents due to their safety and responsible for multiple biological effects on skins. The present study was to determine the total phenolic and flavonoid contents, Sun Protection Factor (SPF), and antioxidant potential of different solvent extracts of Graptophyllum pictum leaves. The dried powdered leaves were extracted by the cold maceration method, using three different solvents, i.e., methanol, ethanol, and water. The extracted leaves was tested for antioxidant activity using of DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl). Total phenolic content was determined using the Follin-Ciocalteu and for total flavonoid content with used the aluminium chloride. The SPF of all extracts were analyzed by ultraviolet (UV) spectrophotometry. The total phenolic content is the highest in methanol extract (377.61±0.31 µg/ml), and total flavonoid content is the highest in ethanol extract (158.06 ± 0.18 µg/ml). For DPPH free radical scavenging activity, ethanolic extract showed the maximum percentage of inhibition, and for SPF, methanol extract had displayed the highest. The study recommends that methanol is a good solvent for the extraction of sun-protective constituents from G. pictum.

Fruits of red and green varieties of Syzygium samarangense, commonly known as Jamrul in Bangladesh, are very popular for all ages of people. Air-dried fruits of S. samarangense were successively extracted with n-hexane, dichloromethane (DCM) and methanol. The moisture and ash content of the raw fruits were determined by thermal heating at 105 and 700, respectively. Different biologically important functional groups were identified by FT-IR spectroscopy. The n-hexane, DCM and methanolic extracts were tested for cytotoxicity against HeLa and Vero cell lines. Total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and total antioxidant capacity in the three extracts of both varieties were determined. The moisture content and ash content were 92% and 90%, and 0.12% and 0.16% in red variety and green variety, respectively. UV-Vis spectrum revealed the presence of long chain conjugation or polycyclic aromatic chromophores in n-hexane, DCM and methanolic extracts of S. samarangense. The DCM extract of both varieties had highest total phenolic content, flavonoid content and antioxidant capacity compared to n-hexane and methanol extracts. The study concludes that the fruit of S. samarangense (red and green variety) grown in Bangladesh are rich source of phytochemicals which possess antioxidant activity and safe to health for their non-cytotoxic properties. The green variety contains more phenolic content and antioxidant capacity than red variety.

Lactuca indica L. has been traditionally used as a wild vegetable and as a medicinal plant for centuries. The various compounds present in it and their biological activities have been extensively reported. Hairy-root culture combined with agrobacterium-meditated metabolic engineering is a useful technique to achieve stable production of biologically active plant compounds. Here, we evaluated the enhancement of secondary metabolites in L. indica L. and their bioactivities by testing culture media composition and the use of an elicitor. Hairy roots were induced and cultured in MS or SH liquid media for 2 weeks prior to treatment with various concentrations of MeJa, for different periods. The resulting phenolic contents and physiological activities were analyzed. Higher total phenolic, flavonoid, and hydroxycinnamic acids contents were attained by elicitation with MeJa. Metabolite accumulation, especially in SH media and in the presence of MeJa, was time dependent. Particularly, accumulation of chicoric acid increased markedly with time. Similarly, we observed time dependent positive and negative responses of antioxidant activity in DPPH and ABTS assays, respectively. As in previous studies, the highest correlation was found between total phenolic content and total flavonoid content. Further, 3,5-DCQA showed the highest correlation with total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, and antioxidant activities in hydroxycinnamic acids. Our data effectively identified optimal culture conditions to increase the accumulation of secondary metabolites and antioxidant activity in hairy roots cultures of L. indica L.
