TL;DR: Hydroalcohol extracts of Foeniculum vulgare var dulce (D.C) root were tested for their diuretic activity in rats and revealed an increase in urine flow and urinary sodium excretion in rats.
Abstract: Hydroalcohol extracts of Foeniculum vulgare var dulce (D.C) root were tested for their diuretic activity in rats. Pharmacological evaluation revealed that they led to an increase in urine flow and urinary sodium excretion in rats. Dose effect relations were also assessed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

TL;DR: In this paper, water distilled essential oils from two Umbelliferae species of Uzbekistan were analyzed by GC/MS, and five compounds were identified in the oil of Foeniculum vulgare representing 99.8% of the total oil with (E)-anethol (87.33%) as the major constituent.
Abstract: Water distilled essential oils from two Umbelliferae species of Uzbekistan were analyzed by GC/MS. p-Cymene (27.23%), thymol (15.13%) and carvacrol (12.52%) were the main components among the thirty three constituents characterized in the oil of Mediasia macrophylla, representing 95.7% of the total components detected. Five compounds were identified in the oil of Foeniculum vulgare representing 99.8% of the total oil with (E)-anethol (87.33%) as the major constituent.

TL;DR: The inhibitory effects of some constituents which were previously isolated from the MeOH extract of Foeniculi Fructus (Fruit of foeniculum vulgare MILLER) were investigated on the oxidation of linoleic acid and on the activation of inactive hyaluronidase induced by compound 48/80.
Abstract: The inhibitory effects of some constituents which were previously isolated from the MeOH extract of Foeniculi Fructus (Fruit of Foeniculum vulgare MILLER) were investigated on the oxidation of linoleic acid and on the activation of inactive hyaluronidase induced by compound 48/80. Among the test compounds, six stilbene trimers, miyabenol C, cis-miyabenol C, foeniculoside I, foeniculoside II, foeniculoside III and foeniculoside IV, exhibited greater antioxidative activities than BHA. Furthermore, miyabenol C and cis-miyabenol C showed strong hyaluronidase inhibitory effects.

TL;DR: Preliminary results warrant additional studies to determine control processes and if the practice of intercropping with aromatic plant species is effective in commercial mustard fields.
Abstract: Aphids (Lipaphis erysimi Kaltenback) often reduce mustard (Brassica juncea L.) yield in India. This study was conducted to determine if intercropping with aromatic plant species could provide an environmentally safe method for aphid control. Aphid infestation on monocrop mustard (‘Rohini’) was compared with intercrop treatments of artemisia (Artemisia annua L.), coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.), chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.), and dill (Anethum sowa Kurz). Intercropping with fennel resulted in a significantly lower aphid infestation. These preliminary results warrant additional studies to determine control processes and if the practice is effective in commercial mustard fields

TL;DR: Most pollen grains of tetraploid plants exhibited an unusual morphology, often having four lobes arranged tetraedrally.
Abstract: Summary Tetraploid bitter fennel plants [Foeniculum vulgare Miller subsp. capillaceum (Gilib.) Holmboe var. vulgare (Miller) Thellung] have been obtained following treatment of an embryogenic cell suspension with 0,05 % colchicine for 24 h or 48 h. Eight eutetraploid plant (2n = 4× = 44) have been regenerated and further micropropagated in vitro. Several aneutetraploid plants with 43 chromosomes and mixoploid plants constituted of 2× and 4× cells were also regenerated from 48 h treated cells. Eutetraploids produced some fruit when field grown. Their progeny was also eutetraploid. Most pollen grains of tetraploid plants exhibited an unusual morphology, often having four lobes arranged tetraedrally.

TL;DR: All the fungicides and antibiotics were found to be effective in reducing the seed mycoflora both qualitatively and quantitatively and both the antibiotics exhibited a phytotoxic effect on seed germination.
Abstract: The effects of different concentrations of 4 fungicides, Bavistin [carbendazim], Dithane M-45 [mancozeb], Agrosan G N [phenylmercury acetate] and PCNB [quintozene] and 2 antibiotics, griseofulvin and mycostatin, on the seed mycoflora and seed germination of 3 spices, fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), black caraway (Bunium persicum) and ammi (Trachyspermum ammi), were studied in vitro All the fungicides and antibiotics were found to be effective in reducing the seed mycoflora both qualitatively and quantitatively The percentage germination of all the fungicide treated seeds was higher than that of untreated ones except in the case of Agrosan G N, whereas both the antibiotics exhibited a phytotoxic effect on seed germination

TL;DR: The observation of embryo under stereoscopic microscope for Foeniculum vulgare in Umbelliferae showed that seeds with or without embryo was almost the same in number, suggesting that the lower rate of germination in this species is caused by embryolessness of seeds.
Abstract: The effects of temperature, prechilling, chemicals such as , IAA, kinetin and on the germinability of Foeniculum vulgare seed of medicinal plant were examined. In Foeniculum vulgare, the germination rate appeared to be around 50~60% or more in general, showing no differences in germination rate with different temperatures, promoting substances, physical or chemical treatments, and prechilling treatments. The observation of embryo under stereoscopic microscope for Foeniculum vulgare in Umbelliferae showed that seeds with or without embryo was almost the same in number. This result suggests that the lower rate of germination in this species is caused by embryolessness of seeds. The straight-shaped embryos as well as Y-shaped embryos were also observed. Foeniculum vulgare of medicinal plants in Umbelliferae were observed under scanning electron microscope, and did not show any opening problem near micropyle area. Final count should be made on 7th day of germination test.

TL;DR: In this article, a litholytic medicine containing an effective amount of active component extracted from one or more plants selected from dried gentian root, dried flowers of Carthamus tinctoricus, dried fruit of Foeniculum vulgare, dried rhizome of Pinus tabulaeformis, dried cortex of Berberis sargentiana, B. brachypoda or B. dictyophylla.
Abstract: The invention relates to a litholytic medicine containing an effective amount of active component extracted from one or more plants selected from dried gentian root, dried flowers of Carthamus tinctoricus, dried fruit of Foeniculum vulgare, dried rhizome of Pinus tabulaeformis, dried cortex of Berberis sargentiana, B. brachypoda or B. dictyophylla. According to the different type of calculus, the medicine may be adjusted to pH 6.3-7.2 by organic acid extracted from plant seed, grain and embryo bud. The medicine can be useful in treating hepatic calculus.
