“…It grows on rocky and clayey slopes, rocks, walls, and other dry places of plains and mountains up to 2000 m (Quezel & Santa, 1962;Tutin et al, 1993;Fennane et al, 1999;Rhizopoulou & Psaras, 2003;Ozenda, 2004;Mishra et al, 2009). In addition, the caper plant has a large ecological amplitude and withstands the extreme environmental conditions (drought, poor and degraded soil, and steep slopes), because of its structural and physiological adaptations to drought, such as developing a very powerful root system, and increasing the density of photosynthetic cells and the production of primary metabolites (Rhizopoulou & Psaras, 2003;Benseghir-Boukhari & Seridi, 2007;Sakcali et al, 2008;Mishra et al 2009;D.F.P., 2011;Libiad et al, 2011;Liu et al, 2011;Gull et al, 2015;Chedraoui et al, 2017).…”

The caper plant (Capparis spinosaL., Capparaceae) from Morocco is described differently, and shows a very variable morphology. In this work, two provenances of caper plant, spontaneous and cultivated, from the North-Central Morocco, are characterized on the basis of morphological and productive criteria. Quantitative and qualitative parameters reveal significant differences between the two origins. Thecultivated provenance corresponds to C. spinosasubsp. spinosa, whereas the spontaneous origin is mainly composed of this subspecies and secondarily C. orientalis. Small capers are abundant in the two origins, but their aesthetic quality is more observed in the cultivated one. Caper berries of spontaneous provenance display a longer peduncle and gynophore and those of cultivated provenance are more numerous and thicker. The spontaneous caper genotypes produce capers and caper berries over a longer period and generate less income for the local population.

“…Capparis spinosa L. or caper plant, also known as Kabbar or Thailalout is a long-lived shrubby plant which belongs to the genus of Capparis (family Capparidaceae) 1,2 very widespread in the Mediterranean countries. 3,4 In Algeria, it is grown as native shrub especially in Aurès area.…”

“…The plant is one of the medicinal and aromatic plants with high pharmaceutical and ecological values. 1 It is spontaneous, xerophyte, halophile 1 and provides a required condiment: the caper, 5 the plant is also used as fodder or ornamental plant. 2 The vegetative parts of C. spinosa were reported to have several biological activities such as antioxidant, 6 antifungal, 7 antihepatotoxic, 8 anti-inflammatory, 9 antiallergic and antihistaminic, 10 chondroprotective, 11 hypolipidemic 12 and photoprotective 13 activities.…”

“…The composition of C. spinosa have been widely evaluated, it consists of glycosides, flavonoïdes, alkaloids, terpenes, essential oils, fatty acids, steroids, glucosinolates, 11,[14][15][16] carotenoids and tocopherols. 17 Vitamins such as vitamin C, 16 proteins 18 and biogenic salts like K, Mg, Ca, Na, Zn, Cu, Fe and P. 19,20 Capparis spinosa have been widely studied 1,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] but no work has been done concerning its toxicological profile. The present study aims at assessing the safety of degreased methanol extract of the fruits and roots bark of C. spinosa by acute and sub-chronic toxicity studies on liver and kidney functional indices in albino Wistar rats, and estimating the analgesic activity by writhing test.…”

Safety evaluation and analgesic studies of defatted methanol extract of Capparis spinosa L. (Capparidaceae) fruits and roots bark in albino wistar rats

Capparis spinosa L. is an indigenous plant from Algeria but has widespread distribution in Mediterranean area. It is used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various diseases by the local populations. The purpose of this study is to test toxicity and analgesic effect of defatted methanol extract of fruits and roots bark of this plant in albino Wistar rats. To evaluate the acute toxicity, 500-5000 mg/kg body weight of each extract was administered orally to rats; symptoms of toxicity and mortality were observed for 72 h. The results revealed the absence of toxicity for both extracts. In subchronic toxicity, rats were treated, with doses of 100 and 200 mg/kg/day of each extract, they were surveyed for four weeks, no symptoms of toxicity were observed. These results were confirmed by the blood biochemical analyses and the histopathology study of liver and kidney. Peripheral analgesic activity was tested orally at the dose of 100 and 200 mg/kg for each extract against pain induced by acetic acid. The dose of 200 mg/kg of both extracts presented significant analgesic effect, compared to the positive control; the acetylsalicylic acid.

“…It is also widely used as a condiment by the Greeks and Romans (Boga et al 2011). In Algeria, the different parts of the plant are used to treat itching, mosquito bites, urticarial and also to treat asthma and digestive problems (Benseghir-Boukhari and Seridi 2007).…”

Chemical composition and antibacterial activities of Capparis spinosa essential oils from Algeria

Abstract. Benachour H, Ramdani M, Lograda T, Chalard P, Figueredo J. 2020. Chemical composition and antibacterial activities of Capparis spinosa essential oils from Algeria. Biodiversitas 21: 161-169. The essential oils of Capparis spinosa L. collected from six locations in Algeria were obtained by hydro-distillation. The chemical composition of oils was performed by GC-MS. The disc diffusion method is applied for the antibacterial activity. The extraction produced low yield (0.03%). The result of chromatographic analysis (GC/MS) leads to the identification of 33 components; palmitic acid (38.19%), nonanal-n (12.61%), cymene-2,5-dimethoxy-para (8.94%) and octacosane (5.49%) were the major components of these oils. The result of cluster analysis based on essential oils constituents showed the presence of three chemotypes,i.e., the chemotype of Nonanal-n-Cymen 2,5 dimethoxy para-Dodecanal, the chemotype of Nonanal-n-Hexadecanoic acid-tetracosane and the chemotype Tetracosane-n-pentyl furane-2-octacosane. In-vitro antimicrobial activity of caper oils against nine bacterial species showed that the oils have no activity against E. coli and have modest activities against eight other bacterial species tested; however, the desirability test shows that the oils used were not effective on the bacteria tested.
