Current Insights into Phytochemistry, Nutritional, and Pharmacological Properties of Prosopis Plants. [PDF]

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2022
Prosopis is a regional cash crop that is widely grown in arid, semiarid, tropical, and subtropical areas. Compared with other legume plants, Prosopis is underutilized and has great potentialities. Prosopis not only is a good source of timber, construction, fencing material, and gum, but also can be applied for food, beverage, feed, and medicine ...

Growth dynamics of Geoffroea decorticans and Parkinsonia praecox and their response to climate in arid and semiarid environments in Argentina [PDF]

Bosque, 2021
Arid and semiarid environments dominate the Earth's surface and are very vulnerable to global change. Chañar (Geoffroea decorticans) and brea (Parkinsonia praecox) are two ubiquitous woody species of these environments. They grow in degraded forests, strongly modified areas and as a main component of secondary forests. Despite the value of both species,

Antimycotic activity of 5′-prenylisoflavanones of the plant Geoffroea decorticans, against Aspergillus species

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2009
The antifungal activity of the ethanolic extract (EE), (3R)-5,7,2',3'-tetrahydroxy-4'-methoxy-5'-prenylisoflavanone (1) and (3R)-7-2'-3'-trihydroxy-4'-methoxy-5'-prenylisoflavanone (2) isolated from Geoffroea decorticans was evaluated against four different species of Aspergillus. Their effect was compared with that displayed by synthetic products. The

Genetic diversity of Geoffroea decorticans , a native woody leguminous species from Atacama Desert in Chile

Bosque, 2018
Geoffroea decorticans (Fabaceae), chañar, es una de las pocas especies nativas de árboles adaptadas a las condiciones ecológicamente limitantes del Desierto de Atacama. No obstante su valor como especie de cultivo y de sus propiedades alimenticias y medicinales, la variabilidad genética de esta especie aún no se ha evaluado.

GdTI, the first thermostable trypsin inhibitor from Geoffroea decorticans seeds. A novel natural drug with potential application in biomedicine

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2020
A novel thermostable trypsin inhibitor was obtained from Geoffroea decorticans seeds. G. decorticans trypsin inhibitor (GdTI) is a protein with molecular mass of 6743.7 Da, with a potent inhibitory activity (Ki of 2.1 nM) even at high temperatures and extreme pHs (100% after 5 h at 100 °C and 80% after 60 min at pH 2-12) constituting one of the most ...

Plausible causes of seed preferences and diet composition in seed‐eating passerines

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2022, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
We evaluated whether seed mass, handling time, handling efficiency and profitability account for (a) preferences in controlled experiments and (b) field‐diet composition of four bird species of the Monte desert, Argentina. The question of whether birds maximise their energy intake rates while feeding on seeds is assessed.
