Convolvulus subhirsutus i
s a species of perennial herbaceous plant of the Convolvulaceae
family with a climbing stem and a creeping branching rhizome. Preparations based on field
convolvulus are widely used in folk healing, as a laxative and hypotensive agent, as well as
as a choleretic and diuretic [1].
Giant reed (
Arundo donax L .) is a tall perennial herb native to Asia and widespread
throughout the Mediterranean region. It has been cultivated for use as a building material,
erosion control and wind protection throughout the Middle East and the Mediterranean for
thousands of years, and is now widely distributed in Southern Europe, North Africa, the
Middle
East,
Australia,
South
America
and
North
America
[2].
Continuing the research of medicinal plants growing in the Republic of Uzbekistan, proteins
[3] from the aboveground part of
Convolvulus subhirsutus and of
Arundo donax L . and meal
after extraction with ethanol were studied. The results are given below in the table.
