“…In this study, we reported that A. judaica and A. sieberi are considered as a promising source of phenolic and flavonoids compounds. Our findings are consistent with several studies that documented the presence of these constituents in same species grown in different regions of the world (Azimian and Roshandel, 2015;Bakr, 2015;Allam et al, 2019;Ranjbar et al, 2020). The antioxidant capacity of phenolic and flavonoids compounds is well documented in several in vitro studies and they have been shown strong capacity of scavenging of several non-physiological radicals such as DPPH and ABTS ABTS (Pietta, 2000;Kosar et al, 2003;Payet et al, 2005;Cai et al, 2006;Kumar and Pandey, 2013).…”

Cancer and microbial infectious diseases are considered a global threat. Plants have been investigated across the world to exploit their potential anticancer and antimicrobial effective agents. In this study, two medicinal plant species native to Saudi Arabia, namely; Artemisia judaica and Artemisia sieberi were screened to assess their antioxidant, anticancer and antimicrobial potential activities as well as phytochemical compositions. The collected aerial parts were extracted by maceration with methanol. Cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities were investigated using the MTT and MIC assays, respectively. Free radical scavenging and antioxidant potential were assessed respectively by 2, 2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) methods. The total flavonoid and phenolic contents of the crude methanolic extract were quantified using standard methods. Artemisia judaica displayed a strong cytotoxicity compared to A. sieberi while both species showed approximately similar bacterial and fungal growth inhibition. In contrast, A. sieberi displayed the highest phenol and flavonoid contents between the two species which was consistent with the higher antioxidant activity found in A. sieberi. It is concluded that both Artemisia species could be a promising source of antioxidant, anticancer and antimicrobial agents.

“…The highest TCA was recorded by A. judaica extract , followed by A. sieberi and A. monosperma ( Table 2 ). Our findings are consistent with several studies that documented the presence of these constituents in the same species grown in different regions of the world [ 22 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 ]. In addition, the leaves of Artemisia species contain a higher phenolic acid and flavonoids content, which has health benefits [ 58 ].…”

Artemisia species are very important medicinal plants, particularly in the Middle East and in developing countries. Their products have been used in traditional and medicine contemporary for the treating of infectious ulcers, gangrenous ulcers, inflammations, and malaria. Artemisinin derived from Artemisia species has been used as a drug in many countries for malaria disease treatment. Hence, this study aimed to identify and evaluate the bioactive compounds of three species of Artemisia (Artemisia judaica, Artemisia monosperma, and Artemisia sieberi) growing in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, several analytical techniques, such as gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), UV-Visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), with reference standards, were used. The GC-MS analysis of the artemisia species revealed many bioactive constituents associated with plant secondary metabolites; some of these identified phytochemical components have biological activity. A. Judaica showed the highest number of bioactive compounds, followed by A. sieberi and A. monosperma. Further, the total phenol, total flavonoid, total tannin, terpenoids, and TCA were estimated. Furthermore, biomolecules such gallic acid, tannin acid, quercetin, and artemisinin in different artemisia species were quantified using HPLC with the reference standard. The amount of artemisinin in the leaf extract of these species (A. sieberi, A. Judaica, and A. monosperma) was found to be about 3.01, 2.5, and 1.9 mg/g DW, respectively. Moreover, the antioxidant activity of the samples was estimated. The obtained results have shown that these species possessed high antioxidant activity, and the scavenging of the DPPH radical and hydrogen peroxide were found to be raised with the increase in the plant extract concentration. This reflects the number of bioactive compounds in these species. The findings of this research support and justify the utilization of Artemisia species in folk medicine in the Middle East.

“…The stimulative effect of pre-sowing magnetic field with the intensity of 50 mT and 100 mT at exposure periods of 30 s or 30 min, on many occasions, on cucumber growth under control and salinity stress was also observed in many other plants (Radhakrishnan andKumari, 2012 andAzimian andRoshande, 2015). In this regard, Rãcuciu et al (2008) found that the cultivation of Zea mays germinated seeds under 50 mT static magnetic field for 14 days greatly enhanced growth parameters and chlorophyll content in relation with non treated plants.…”

Overcoming salinity problems through increasing plant tolerance is a substantial strategy to increase crop production. A pot experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of salinity stress, presowing magnetic fields and their combination on cucumber growth, water relations and lipid peroxidation. Seawater salinity (10%) enormously reduced the plant growth, relative water content (RWC), transpiration rate and water use efficiency (WUE), and increased partial osmotic pressure (POP), lipids peroxidation and membrane injury index. Root/shoot ratio was not affected by the salinity stress. Pre-sowing treatment with 50 mT (for 30 s or 30 min) and 100 mT (30 min) magnetic field enhanced plant growth, root/shoot ratio, RWC, transpiration rate and WUE under control and stress conditions in relation with the un-treated plants. These treatments appeared to reduce lipid peroxidation and membrane injury in cucumber under salinity stress. The effect of these magnetic treatments on POP was not regular. The combination treatment of those magnetic fields and salinity reduced the stress intensity index (SII) by about 25% in relation with salinity alone. Conversely, the application of 200 mT magnetic field for 30 min adversely affected the plant growth and water relations, and increased the SII, lipid peroxidation and membrane injury in cucumber under salinity stress. On many occasions, the effects of 100 mT for 30 min and 200 mT for 30 s were not significant.
