Highlights
This study was aimed at investigating the neurotoxicity effect of aqueous seed extract of Parkia biglobosa on the anterior pituitary gland of adult Wistar rats
Green plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis by primary chloroplasts that are derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria[1]
The term plant generally implies the possession of the following traits: multicellularity[5], possession of cell walls containing cellulose, and the ability to carry out photosynthesis with primary chloroplast[6]
Summary
Green plants obtain most of their energy from sunlight via photosynthesis by primary chloroplasts that are derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria[1]. Parkia Biglobosa, known as the African locust bean (West African names: néré, dodongba, netetou , sumbala or iru ) is a perennial deciduous tree of the family Fabaceae[7]. It is found in a wide range of environments in Africa and is primarily grown for its pods that contain both a sweet pulp and valuable seeds. The pods of the tree, commonly referred to as locust beans, are pink in the beginning and turn dark brown when fully mature. Each pod can contain up to 30 seeds; the seeds are embedded in a sweet, powdery yellow pulp[11]
