Journal Title: Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Sorghum virgatum (Hack) belongs to Poaceae (Graminae) family, which represented in flora of Egypt by four species. It worth noting that nothing was reported about phytochemical and biological investigation of S.virgatum.
