Despite the extensive research on the botany, phytochemistry, and pharmacology of Rif's cannabis, there is limited comparative research on the fruits and oils of different strains cultivated in the region. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; This study examined the biometric, germinative and physicochemical properties of three cannabis strains grown in the Western Rif region of Morocco. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and methods:&lt;/strong&gt; three cannabis strains (Beldiya, Khardala and Critical) were characterized by their biometric parameters (weight, length and width), germinative and physicochemical properties. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The study revelated that there are notable differences in the biometric properties and germination rates of the achenes of the strains studied. Additionally, significant variations were observed between the strains with regards to their oil yield, as well as the levels of polyphenols and flavonoids. The results also revealed a correlation between biometric parameters, germination rate and phytochemical content. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;The oils of all strains studied were extra virgin, and the Beldiya strain's fruit oil was found to be particularly rich in polyphenols and flavonoids, making it a potentially useful ingredient in nutrition and health applications. Overall, this study provides useful information for researchers and growers interested in the cultivation and use of cannabis fruits and oils in various industries.&lt;/p&gt;

The argan of the north-east of Morocco remains a virgin subject of study without enough value given to it. &lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;The aim of this study is to asses the evolution of biometric parameters and fatty acids composition of the argan fruits from Beni-Snassen region during ripening. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;4 fruit shapes harvested over seven months were characterized through the measurement of their biometric parameters (size and weight), and their composition of majority fatty acids. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;the studied argan tree could be classified into two major groups, namely: early-riped trees with oval or oval-apiculate fruits and late-riped trees with fusiform or spherical fruits. When considering the fruits size and weight, the highest values were recorded on late-ripened fruits, more particularly fusiform shapes. The obtained results showed, on one hand, a significant difference in the unsaturated fatty acids, according to the fruit ripeness stage and shapes, being the later significantly affecting the stearic acid content; and on another hand, it was noted an increase of oleic acid content while linoleic acid decreased. In the maturation stage, the spherical shaped fruits were found to have the highest ratio of unsaturated/saturated fatty acids.&lt;strong&gt; Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The results demonstrated the possibility to predict the kernel’s weight from the fruit’s length. The results also showed the good dietary and nutritional quality of spherical shapes and that the biometric parameters are important criteria for the differentiation of argan tree fruits.&lt;/p&gt;

It’s about &lt;em&gt;Corrigiola telephiifolia&lt;/em&gt;, and the activity in question is the diuretic activity.&lt;strong&gt; Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The aqueous ethanol root extract of&lt;em&gt; CMethods:orrigiola telephiifolia&lt;/em&gt; (200 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg, and 700 mg/kg) was orally administered to rats. The urinary excretion rate and pH, and electrolyte excretion were measured in the urine of saline-loaded rats. Negative control group received only an equivalent volume of distilled water, while the positive control groups received the diuretic drugs hydrochlorothiazide at dose 10 mg/kg. &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;The results showed that hydrochlorothiazide induced significant diuresis and electrolytes excretion at 1, 6 and 24 h after the treatment. Both the higher doses of the extract produced a significant increase in urine volume than the control from the first hour until the end of observation. However, the lowest dose increased significantly only at 24 h after the treatment. With regard to the electrolyte excretion, the tested doses of CTRE which have shown a significant increase in Na&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt;, K&lt;sup&gt;+&lt;/sup&gt; and Cl&lt;sup&gt;-&lt;/sup&gt;excretion in comparison to normal control rats, are 400 and 700 mg/kg bw. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;These findings collectively indicate that the extracts of&lt;em&gt; C. telephiifolia&lt;/em&gt; have a potential to induce diuresis markedly, and providing evidence, for its traditional use.&lt;/p&gt;
