PC-3, respectively). In addition, antioxidant activity was evaluated using the DPPH radical scavenging assay, and ethyl acetate extract demonstrated moderate activity with IC 50 = 278.24 ± 8.52µg/mL, followed by petroleum ether (581.07 ± 41.95µg/mL). The phytochemical analysis showed that the ethyl acetate extract is rich in phenolics, followed by flavonoids and alkaloids while lipids are the major component of the petroleum ether extract. GC-MS analysis of petroleum ether extract gives dodecanamine, N, N-dimethyl-, lupeol acetate, amyrin, kojic acid, and oleanenol-acetate as the major components.

F OR THIS STUDY, we used geographic information systems (GIS) and ground surveys to map the important pharmaceutical plants in Albaha region of Saudi Arabia. We used GIS functions to generate distribution, richness, and density maps for 39 plants from 23 families and 25 genera. Three of these species are endemic to Saudi Arabia; two are found in both Saudi Arabia and Yemen, and five are found only in East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Five species belong to the family Xanthorrhoeaceae; four belong to each of the two families Euphorbiaceae and Burseraceae, and three belong to each of the families Amaranthaceae and Papaveraceae. For each species of a pharmaceutical plant, we calculated density per hectare and determined a frequency percentage. Our study area was in southwestern Saudi Arabia, between latitudes 16 and 21, and longitudes 40 and 41. This is the first study that uses GIS to show the distribution of pharmaceutical plants in this region and can be considered a basic resource for the mapping and domestication of all pharmaceutical plants in Saudi Arabia. This may contribute to cultivate the Pharmaceutical Plants on a commercial scale, with consequent economic benefits at both individual and national levels.

W ATER deficiency is the most common abiotic stress in cotton production in Egypt. Although, cotton plants react strongly to soil moisture, water-deficit conditions during squaring and flowering stages diminish plant growth and productivity. The experiment was conducted to evaluate the physiological response of three Egyptian cotton cultivars (Giza 94, 96 and 97), under irrigation intervals (normal and severe water-deficit conditions) and with spraying with growth inducers [calcium(Ca)-boron(B) and mixed amino acids] and their interactions on the leaves chemical constituents and yield components during the 2020 and 2021 seasons. The experiment design was a split-split plot with three replicates. The main plots included three cotton cultivars, the subplots included two irrigation intervals and the sub-subplots included spraying with growth inducers at squaring and flowering stages (400ppm). The results revealed that the performance of the three cotton cultivars was significantly different in chemical constituents and yield components via their different genetic potentials, with the best results registered by Giza 97 compared to Giza 94 and 96. Water-deficit conditions significantly reduced leaves pigment content and all yield components, but significantly improved all osmolyte compounds (total soluble sugars, total phenol, total free amino acids, free proline and total antioxidant capacity) compared to normal conditions. Spraying with growth inducers significantly enhanced the chemical constituents and yield components compared to untreated plants in relation to their positive effects in improving photosynthesis, sugar biosynthesis and all cotton cultivar yields. Giza 97 sprayed with Ca-B under normal conditions recorded the best results compared to other treatments.
