“…Maier et al [ 59 ] identified the imidazole alkaloid lepidine along with five new dimeric (lepidines B, C, D, E, and F) and two monomeric (semilepidinosides A and B) imidazole alkaloids in seeds of L. sativum [ 59 ], while the presence of 10 major compounds includes benzyl nitrile, 2,3,4-tri-methoxycinna-mic acid, 5-hydroxy-methyl furfural, and furfural was reported by El-Gendy [ 60 ].…”

The roots, leaves, and seeds of Lepidium sativum L., popularly known as Garden cress in different regions, have high economic importance; although, the crop is particularly cultivated for the seeds. In traditional medicine, this plant has been reported to possess various biological activities. This review is aimed at providing updated and critical scientific information about the traditional, nutritional, phytochemical, and biological activities of L. sativum. In addition, the geographic distribution is also reviewed. The comprehensive literature search was carried out with the help of different search engines PubMed, Web of Science, and Science Direct. This review highlighted the importance of L. sativum as an edible herb that possesses a wide range of therapeutic properties along with high nutritional values. Preclinical studies (in vitro and in vivo) displayed anticancer, hepatoprotective, antidiabetic, hypoglycemic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, gastrointestinal, and fracture/bone healing activities of L. sativum and support the clinical importance of plant-derived bioactive compounds for the treatment of different diseases. Screening of literature revealed that L. sativum species and their bioactive compounds may be a significant source for new drug compounds and also could be used against malnutrition. Further clinical trials are needed to effectively assess the actual potential of the species and its bioactive compounds.

“…The notable increase in protein levels observed may suggest a positive nitrogen balance accumulation, a hallmark of the growth phase. Similarly, a study conducted by El-Gendy (2021) found that protein content plays a crucial role in worm growth. Studies by Venkataramana et al (2003) and Krishnan et al (1995) have suggested that hemolymph proteins are enhanced when larvae are fed with soy protein (2-2.5%).…”

The mulberry silkworm is a monophagous insect that depends solely on mulberry leaves as its primary feeding source. Therefore, the quality of mulberry leaves and nutritive supplements are significant factors affecting silk production. This investigation was carried out to evaluate the potential of hen egg albumen as a protein and amino acid source impacting various biological and biochemical characters of mulberry silkworm. Larvae were reared on mulberry leaves enriched with different concentrations of hen egg albumen (10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%) from 4 th larval instar until the spinning stage (odd days). While hen egg albumen contains amino acids vital for silk production, excessive doses led to reduce the production due to an abundance of non-silk-producing amino acids or those not involved in silk structure, resulting in silk metabolism disorders. Larvae reared on leaves fortified with (10 %, 20%) concentrations showed improvements in all biological and biochemical parameters, with no significant differences observed between the two concentrations in cocoon criteria. However, 20% concentration treatment exhibited a significantly higher shell ratio percentage, 5 th larval weight, growth index, cocooning and pupation ratios. The results also showed that higher concentrations of hen egg albumen were significantly inversely related to cocoon production.

“…The high damage observed with infested workers followed by Apistan treatment (21.63 and 20.1%, respectively) demonstrates the damage that Apistan can induce to honey bees. Meanwhile, increasing the amount of DNA damage and comet tail length may cause cell apoptosis (El-Gendy, 2021).…”

The Caraway, Carum carvi essential oil was assessed to behave as natural control of bee parasitic mite, Varroa destructor during fall season instead of chemicals methods. Caraway oil (100%) was used and compared to the synthetic acaricide; Apistan. The number of fallen mites and infestation percentages on both adult and brood were estimated regarding the effects of essential oil on honeybees Apis mellifera. The essential oil from C. carvi seeds were extracted by hydro distillation and characterized by GC/MS. Sixteen compounds were identified representing; 97.33% of the oil. The predominant components were Limonene (38.81%), Carvone (35.43 %), α-Myrcene (7.3%), Dihydrocarvone (5.58%) and Limonene oxide (5.13%). The infestation reduction percentages, recorded with Caraway oil, reached 84.42% and 70.65% on adult and brood workers after 21 days of treatments with no statistical difference with Apistan. The mean numbers of fallen Varroa mites were (67.67) and (74.65) in hives treated by essential oil and Apistan, respectively. The immune response of honeybee workers and pupa revealed significant elevation in phenol oxidase activity with Caraway oil however, remarkable inhibition in the enzyme activity observed with workers exposed to Apistan. The comet assay performed on worker honeybee as a biomarker of DNA damage; revealed statistically significant increase in DNA damage caused with Apistan (20.1%) and infested bee (21.64 %) compared to corresponding one treated with Caraway essential oil (12.4%) and control (9.6%). Caraway essential oil proved a safe way as natural controlling of Varoaa destructive with keep guard of honeybee social life and fit into IPM programs
