Ethanolic Root Extract of Jatropha curcas L. Ameliorates Paclitaxel-Induced Neuropathic Pain in Rats
Abstract: Jatropha curcas is a plant used in various parts of the world as food, medicine for pain and biofuel. The present study investigated the potential analgesic properties of ethanolic root extract of J. curcas on paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain in rats. Neuropathic pain was induced in rats with paclitaxel. Cold allodynia was measured with cold water at 4.5 °C. Mechanical hyperalgesia was measured in the Randall-Sellito test and thermal hyperalgesia evaluated …

Differential Rooting Pattern Observed in Tissue Culture Regenerated Plantlets from Different Explants of Jatropha curcas L.
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 In an attempt to optimize an in vitro regeneration protocol, both direct and indirect, from different explants of Jatropha curcas L., different rooting patterns were observed from the regenerated plantlets in different concentrations of auxins. The rooting pattern was classified into four types based on their morphology as hairy fibrous roots, tap root-type, thin long roots, and thick short roots. Observations …
