Atriplex species are tolerant to salinity and drought, therefore; they are an appropriate for restoration of degraded arid and semi-arid lands. Lots of Atriplex species offer a high benefit as non-traditional forages as well. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the habitat range of four Atriplex species in the coastal area of the Mediterranean Sea of Egypt. Two of these species have C 3 photosynthesis; they are namely: A. portulacoides and A. prostrata and the other two are C 4 photosynthesis ( A. halimus and A. nummularia) . The four species are growing in the different habitats along the Mediterranean Coast from New Damietta to Burullus Lake. Associated species with Atriplex were determined and soil samples were collected to identify the types of habitats. Soil samples were analyzed to compare between C 3 and C 4 species on the basis of habitat. Results of soil analysis indicated that EC of the soil in which C 4 species grow is more than that of C 3 species and the percentages (%) of Cl - , CO 3 - and organic carbon of the soil in which C 4 species grow are more than that of C 3 species, moreover, the moisture content of the soil in which C 3 species grow is higher than that of the soil in which C 4 species grow. The obtained results from the soil variables will be useful for the understanding of the optimal habitat for C 3 and C 4 Atriplex species in the Mediterranean Coast of Egypt . Furthermore, the obtained data will help for the agro-application of these important halophytes .
鸢尾属植物耐盐碱和干旱，因此适合恢复退化的干旱和半干旱土地。许多 Atriplex 品种作为非传统饲料也具有很高的效益。本研究的目的是评估埃及地中海沿岸地区四种鸢尾属植物的栖息地范围。其中两个物种具有 C 3 光合作用，它们是portulacoides 和 A. prostrata），另外两个具有 C 4 光合作用（A. halimus 和 A. nummularia）。这四个物种生长在地中海沿岸从新达米埃塔到布拉鲁斯湖的不同栖息地。确定了与 Atriplex 相关的物种，并采集了土壤样本以确定栖息地类型。对土壤样本进行了分析，以根据栖息地对 C 3 和 C 4 物种进行比较。土壤分析结果表明，C 4 物种生长土壤的导电率高于 C 3 物种，C 4 物种生长土壤的 Cl -、CO 3 - 和有机碳百分比（%）高于 C 3 物种，此外，C 3 物种生长土壤的含水量高于 C 4 物种生长土壤的含水量。从土壤变量中获得的结果将有助于了解埃及地中海沿岸 C 3 和 C 4 Atriplex 树种的最佳栖息地。此外，获得的数据还有助于这些重要的卤叶植物在农业上的应用。

Salinity stress is a laborious environmental stress for freshwater microalgae that can be overcame via modulating some physiological traits. This study assessed the impact of salt stress on growth and physiology of the freshwater alga Chlorella sorokiniana . The alga was exposed to salt concentrations of 0, 140, 270 and 340 mM NaCl in the BG11 basic growth medium with pH of 7.5 ± 0.20 for 43 d. Growth, in terms of the cell number, of Chlorella sorokiniana was progressively decreased with increasing salinity levels. Nevertheless, the salinity-induced reduction in the content of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids) was most evident at 270 mM NaCl. Salinity led to progressive increase in the concentrations of protein, soluble sugars, starch and minerals (Na + and K + ) and lipids above the control. The present findings suggest that C. sorokiniana can withstand salinity stress up to 340 mM via enhancing production of lipids and compatible organic solutes such as proline with minor contribution of protein, soluble sugars and mineral ions (Na + and K + ) .
盐胁迫对淡水微藻来说是一种费力的环境胁迫，但可以通过调节某些生理特性来克服。本研究评估了盐胁迫对淡水藻类小球藻（Chlorella sorokiniana）生长和生理的影响。在 pH 值为 7.5 ± 0.20 的 BG11 基本生长培养基中，将该藻类暴露于 0、140、270 和 340 mM NaCl 的盐浓度中 43 d。然而，盐度引起的光合色素（叶绿素 a、叶绿素 b 和类胡萝卜素）含量减少在 270 mM NaCl 时最为明显。盐度导致蛋白质、可溶性糖、淀粉和矿物质（Na + 和 K +）以及脂质的浓度逐渐高于对照组。本研究结果表明，C. sorokiniana 可通过提高脂质和相容性有机溶质（如脯氨酸）的产量来承受高达 340 毫摩尔的盐度胁迫，而蛋白质、可溶性糖和矿物质离子（Na + 和 K + ）的贡献较小。

The current study aims to update the list and revise the nomenclature of Acacia s.l ., one of the most widespread genera in Yemeni flora. The study was compiled by consulting a number of information sources, including relevant literature and online databases. According to recent molecular phylogenetic studies, Acacia s.l . is polyphyletic and the recognition of seven genera is strongly supported. Hence the classical identity of Acacia needs to be changed. Therefore, the current position of different Acacia taxa presents in Yemen (including six endemics, one near-endemic and four regionally endemics), which was formerly assigned in Acacia s.l ., has been transferred to Acacia s.s . Vachellia and Senegalia . This has resulted in six species of Acacias , fifteen species with 7 subspecies and 2 varieties in Vachellia and six species in Senegalia.

This study aimed to display the microalgal distribution, diversity, and their relationship to water quality at ten selected stations (S1 to S10), North Damietta, Egypt. The water physicochemical parameters as well as the qualitative and quantitative investigations of microalgae were performed seasonally from Autumn 2021 to Summer 2022. Salinity values varied between 0.4 gL-1 at River Nile Dam (S6) to 400 gL-1 at Al-Diba pond (S10). The highest concentrations of ammonia and nitrite (3.7 mgL-1 and 0.5 mgL-1, respectively) were recorded at S1 while the highest concentration of nitrate (5.37 mgL-1) was estimated at S9. Although the orthophosphate concentrations were low, total phosphorus values were acceptable. A total of 137 microalgal taxa, belonging to 7 algal groups, were microscopically identified. Diversity index values indicated that the water status varied between mildly polluted at River Nile (S6) and heavily polluted water at stations 3, 5, 8, 9, and 10. The findings concluded that the species diversity decreases by increasing the pollution as well as increasing salinity. Furthermore, the results confirmed that high species diversity coincides with low dominancy and vice versa .

Atriplex species are tolerant to drought and salinity, therefore; they are appropriate for restoration The study investigated the effects of acrylamide (ACR) on the liver and kidneys in rats and the potential protective and therapeutic properties of Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera ) leaf nanoparticles, using UV-visible spectroscopy to create and characterize silver nanoparticles. 20 adult male rats were randomly divided into four groups: Control group (CT); Acrylamide group (ACR): rats received 50 mg/kg b.wt. in drinking water for 3 weeks; Protection group (Mo-NPs /ACR): rats received 50 mg/kg b.wt. of M. oleifera nanoparticles (Mo-NPs) daily for 3 weeks and were given 50 mg/kg b.wt. of acrylamide (ACR) daily for 3 weeks; Treatment group (ACR/Mo-NPs): rats were given 50 mg/kg b.wt. of acrylamide (ACR) for 3 weeks, followed by M. oleifera nanoparticles (Mo-NPs) for 3 weeks. Blood and tissue samples were obtained for the physiological and histological investigations, and a comet assay was used to determine the amount of DNA damage. Administration of ACR increased MDA, creatinine, urea, ALT, and AST activities while decreasing SOD enzyme activity. M. oleifera nanoparticle treatment raised SOD enzyme activity and decreased the damaging effects of ACR on these levels. Rats with ACR injuries treated with M. oleifera nanoparticles had improved histological abnormalities in their liver and kidneys. Greater DNA damage was seen in the liver cells of the ACR group; however, M. oleifera nanoparticles may have repaired this damage in other groups. The study concluded that M. oleifera nanoparticles provide enhanced protection against ACR's effects on liver and kidney function in rats, potentially due to its diverse phytochemicals.

Pollutant removal is critical, as evidenced by the need for clean water, the rise in industrial effluent, and environmental pollution. One very efficient way to get rid of impurities from water and industrial effluent is to use zeolite removal. TiO 2 is one of the special photophysical characteristics of zeolite, which is distinguished by its numerous microscopic pores, high absorption capacity, and thermochemical stability. Sol-gel was used to synthesise zeolite and TiO 2 quantum dots (TQD) with diameters ranging from 307 to 48 nanometers. In this work, zeolite microparticles were treated with TiO 2 nanoparticles. The zeolite/TiO 2 composites were assessed using SEM, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller, and X-ray diffractometer investigations. The results showed that the presence of TiO 2 nanoparticles reduces the specific surface area. However, it results in the ability to absorb ultraviolet rays. Increasing the amount of TiO 2 will cause the absorption edge to move. The photocatalytic properties of the compounds were evaluated using Blue Dianix dye removal analysis. Zeolite-TQD, with a specific surface area of 292.39 m 2 /g and a band gap energy of 3.57 eV, is the most effective material. Evidence of enhanced photocatalytic performance was obtained through analysis of spent chemical oxygen. We also confirmed the photodegradation rate of real industrial effluents using COD limitations specified in the Egyptian Environmental Law. Nine recycled zeolite-TQD samples were examined using COD measurements.
去除污染物至关重要，对清洁水的需求、工业废水的增加以及环境污染都证明了这一点。利用沸石去除水和工业废水中的杂质是一种非常有效的方法。TiO 2 是沸石的一种特殊光物理特性，其特点是微孔多、吸收能力强、热化学稳定性好。溶胶凝胶法用于合成沸石和 TiO 2 量子点（TQD），其直径在 307 纳米到 48 纳米之间。在这项工作中，沸石微粒与 TiO 2 纳米粒子一起处理。使用扫描电子显微镜、漫反射光谱仪、布鲁瑙尔-艾美特-泰勒和 X 射线衍射仪对沸石/TiO 2 复合材料进行了评估。结果表明，TiO 2 纳米颗粒的存在降低了比表面积。然而，它却增强了吸收紫外线的能力。增加 TiO 2 的含量会使吸收边缘移动。利用蓝黛安染料去除分析评估了化合物的光催化特性。沸石-TQD 的比表面积为 292.39 m 2 /g，带隙能为 3.57 eV，是最有效的材料。通过分析废化学氧，我们获得了光催化性能增强的证据。我们还根据埃及环境法规定的 COD 限制值，确认了实际工业废水的光降解率。我们使用 COD 测量方法对九种回收的沸石-TQD 样品进行了检测。

The effect of Artemisia absinthium and Cyproheptadine on the insulin levels of rats fed on a diet deficient in zinc was examined in the current study. Thirty-two mature male rats were divided randomly into four groups each of eight animals. Control Group (G1), Zinc Deficiency Group (ZDD) (G2), Zinc Plus Cyproheptadine Group (G3), and Zinc Plus Artemisia absinthium Group (G4). Zinc, Cyproheptadine and Artemisia absinthium were taken orally (containing zinc not more than 1mg/kg diet, 720 µg/kg B. W, 100 mg/kg BW) for 30 days. Insulin level and histopathological study were done. The data showed that feeding rats on a zinc deficient-diet (ZDD) resulted in decrease of insulin level compared to the control group. On the other hand, the Cyproheptadine (CH) and Artemisia absinthium (ART) treatment groups exhibited improvement of insulin level compared to zinc deficiency diet feeding group. In addition, zinc deficient-diet (ZDD) showed mild fatty liver with hepatic steatosis and macrovesicular steatosis. After treatment with cyper and Art, liver of both groups are tissue improved significantly. Treatment with artemisia absinthium (ART) and cyproheptadine (CH) of rats feed on a diet deficient in zinc, increases insulin levels and improve liver tissue histology.

The current study is the first attempt to provide a comprehensive inventory of all newly recorded vascular plant taxa which were collected from Egypt after Boulos’ Checklist 2009. The study was compiled by gathering several information sources such as relevant taxonomic publications, accessible online database, herbaria collections and field observations. The present study records 441 species and infraspecific taxa (309 species, 72 subspecies and 60 varieties) belonging to 83 families and 275 genera, representing 66 Monocots and 375 Eudicots. The study revealed the addition of five species viz. Ficus religiosa , F . elastica, Vigna vexillata, Sagittaria sagittifolia and carpobrous edulis ; as well as nine families not previously recorded in the flora of Egypt. Amongst the taxa recorded,22 endemics in ten families and 23 near endemics in 15 families. The inventory of newly recorded taxa made in the present study confirms that the Egyptian flora requires significant updating, and this study might be regarded as a supplementary to Boulos’ Flora of Egypt Checklist (2009), the authors also believe that the present checklist has filled the gaps existing in the data at the sub-regional administrative scale.
