Taxonomic significance of palynological studies for identification of two morphologically similar Malva species.

Summary

Researchers used light and scanning electron microscopy to distinguish between Malva neglecta and Malva parviflora based on their pollen characteristics. They found differences in things like spine length and pore diameter that can be used to identify the two species. This study confirms the usefulness of pollen morphology in identifying different plant taxa and could help with taxonomic identification issues.

Neuroprotective potential of Malva neglecta is mediated via down-regulation of cholinesterase and modulation of oxidative stress markers.

Summary

Malva neglecta, a plant known for its ability to inhibit acetylcholine esterase in vitro, was studied in a rat model of Alzheimer's disease. Rats were treated with different doses of Malva neglecta extract for 21 days and their behavior and brain chemistry were recorded. Treated rats showed improved memory and cognition, and a dose-dependent decrease in acetylcholine esterase activity, which is linked to an increase in acetylcholine that helps memory retention. Additionally, oxidative stress markers were reduced in a dose-dependent manner in the treatment groups. The study suggests that Malva neglecta could potentially ameliorate Alzheimer's symptoms by reducing acetylcholine esterase activity and oxidative stress.
