“…T.ammi has also been used as a galactagogue in humans in history. T. ammi seed had the second highest overall phytoestrogen content of the eight herbs examined, at 473 ppm (total phytoestrogen contents 131-593 ppm) [9]. Root extract of the herb possesses good aphrodisiac properties and seeds have good diuretic properties.…”

Introduction: Lung cancer is the second most common type of cancer, accounting for one in every five male cancers and one in every nine female cancers. Lung cancer treatment is dictated by the cell type of the illness, the amount to which it has spread, and the patient's general condition. It is well understood that tumours confer resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs or radiation in part due to apoptotic pathway malfunction in cancer cells. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro anti proliferative activity of the ethanolic extract of Trachyspermum ammi (T.ammi) seeds against A549 adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial cells. Materials and Methods: The cytotoxicity and anti-cancer effects of ethanolic extract of Trachyspermum ammi (T.ammi) seeds against A549 cells were analyzed using MTT assay and morphological analysis by inverted phase contrast microscopy. Results: The MTT assay results showed that 50% of the cell proliferation (IC50) has been inhibited upon T.ammi seed extract treatment for 24hrs incubation. The Dose-dependent studies revealed cytotoxic dose level IC50 of 50μg/ml for T.ammi seed extract on lung cancer cells. It clearly showed that the dose dependent treatments significantly (p<0.001) reduces the cell viability thereby inhibiting the cancer cell proliferation when compared and it was further confirmed with morphological evaluation with microscopic study. Conclusion: From this study we concluded that the ethanol extract of T.ammi significantly inhibits cancer cell proliferation against A549 cells and it might be a potent anti-proliferative value for further evaluation to determine the therapeutic agent for cancer treatment.

“…Ajwain ( Trachyspermum ammi L.), a member of the Apiaceae family, is a herbaceous crop plant and widely cultivated in Pakistan, India, Egypt, Iran, and many European countries ( Jalbani et al., 2016 ; Javed et al., 2020 ). Seeds of T. ammi contain beneficial essential oil, traditionally used for different ailments and applications, such as antiseptic, diuretic, antimicrobial, antiviral, bronchodilatory, and hepatoprotective ( Rao and Ikram, 2015 ). T. amm i has also been established as an important medicinal plant.…”

“…During recent years, certain heavy metals have received considerable attention on plant morphology and physiology because of increasing environmental exposure, which also likely to have an negative impact on medicinal plants, including T. ammi (Ashraf and Orooj, 2006). Previously, few studies on T. ammi were executed to investigate its morphology and physiology under metal stress (Ahad et al, 2014;Rao and Ikram, 2015); but synergistic application of NPs and PGRB on various morphophysiological characteristics, ionomics, electron microscopy and organic acid exudation potential of T. ammi was rarely investigated under metal stressed regimes. Therefore, the present study was conducted to study (1) the effect of different levels of PGPB (Providencia vermicola) and FeO-NPs on plant growth, biomass, and gaseous exchange parameters of T. ammi seedlings under As stress, (2) oxidative stress and the responses of different antioxidative enzymes (enzymatic and non-enzymatic), as well as the response of the specific gene expression; (3) essential minerals uptake, organic acids exudation, and As accumulation in different organs of T. ammi seedlings under As stress; and (4) electron microscopy of membrane-bound organelles of T. ammi seedlings grown under varying levels of As in the soil.…”

Soil contamination with toxic heavy metals [such as arsenic (As)] is becoming a serious global problem because of the rapid development of the social economy. Although plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) and nanoparticles (NPs) are the major protectants to alleviate metal toxicity, the study of these chemicals in combination to ameliorate the toxic effects of As is limited. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate the combined effects of different levels of Providencia vermicola (5 ppm and 10 ppm) and iron oxide nanoparticles (FeO-NPs) (50 mg/l–1 and 100 mg/l–1) on plant growth and biomass, photosynthetic pigments, gas exchange attributes, oxidative stress and response of antioxidant compounds (enzymatic and non-enzymatic), and their specific gene expression, sugars, nutritional status of the plant, organic acid exudation pattern As accumulation from the different parts of the plants, and electron microscopy under the soil, which was spiked with different levels of As [0 μM (i.e., no As), 50 μM, and 100 μM] in Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi L.) seedlings. Results from the present study showed that the increasing levels of As in the soil significantly (p< 0.05) decreased plant growth and biomass, photosynthetic pigments, gas exchange attributes, sugars, and nutritional contents from the roots and shoots of the plants, and destroyed the ultra-structure of membrane-bound organelles. In contrast, increasing levels of As in the soil significantly (p< 0.05) increased oxidative stress indicators in term of malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide, and electrolyte leakage, and also increased organic acid exudation patter in the roots of T. ammi seedlings. The negative impact of As toxicity can overcome the application of PGPB (P. vermicola) and FeO-NPs, which ultimately increased plant growth and biomass by capturing the reactive oxygen species, and decreased oxidative stress in T. ammi seedlings by decreasing the As contents in the roots and shoots of the plants. Our results also showed that the FeO-NPs were more sever and showed better results when we compared with PGPB (P. vermicola) under the same treatment of As in the soil. Research findings, therefore, suggest that the combined application of P. vermicola and FeO-NPs can ameliorate As toxicity in T. ammi seedlings, resulting in improved plant growth and composition under metal stress, as depicted by balanced exudation of organic acids.

Biosorptive removal of divalent nickel from aqueous solution using Carissa Carandas and Syzygium aromaticum was investigated in batch mode and the observations were correlated with the pH variation, agitation time, dose of the adsorbent and initial metal ion concentration in the solution. In the course of this study Sorption efficiency of C. carandas leaf powder found higher than that of S. aromaticum under identical experimental conditions. The maximum adsorption capacities estimated for Ni(II) through Freundlich isotherm model were 3.76 and 2.96 mg/g for C. carandas and S. aromaticum, respectively. In kinetic studies the correlation coefficient (R 2 = 0.99) for the pseudo-second order kinetics modal was higher than that of pseudo-first order kinetics model and the calculated value of q e for the pseudo-second order kinetic model resulted very close to the experimental value, which indicates that it fits well with the equilibrium data for Ni(II) sorption from aqueous solutions on biosorbents.
