Callus induction and regeneration of Alkanna orientalis var. Orientalis and A. sieheana

Esterase polymorphisms in relict endemic Liquidambar orientalis Mill. var. orientalis and L. orientalis Mill. var. integriloba Fiori populations in Turkey

In this study, esterase isozyme polymorphisms in Boreal-Tertiary origin relict endemic L. orientalis populations were investigated. Four populations located in the Southern and the Southwestern regions of Turkey were screened. Two of these populations (Fethiye-Günlüklü and Fethiye-İnlice) belong to subspecies L. orientalis Mill.var. orientalis. The other two (Muğla-Köyceğiz and Antalya-Gebiz) b...

Sarothrin from Alkanna orientalis is an antimicrobial agent and efflux pump inhibitor.

An Alkanna orientalis leaf and flower extract inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, a pathogen that causes an estimated 478 000 hospitalizations in the US annually. Bioassay-guided fractionation of A. orientalis resulted in isolation of the flavonoid sarothrin (5,7,4'-trihydroxy-3,6,8-trimethoxyflavone), which inhibited the growth of Mycobacterium smegmatis (MIC 75 µM) and S. aureus (M...

Biology of Chiloloba orientalis

This study, related to emergence of the cetoniid beetle, Chiloloba orientalis D and R (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae), was conducted annually from August to the middle of October from 2007 to 2010 in maize (Zea mays L. (Poales: Poaceae)), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), and grass (Hetropogon contortus (L.) P. Beauv. ex Roem. and Schult., Apluda mutica L.) cultivated fields in a se...

Genome Sequences of Amycolatopsis orientalis subsp. orientalis Strains DSM 43388 and DSM 46075

Strains of Amycolatopsis orientalis produce vancomycin or other related glycopeptide antibiotic compounds. Here we report the draft genome sequences of glycopeptide nonproducers Amycolatopsis orientalis subsp. orientalis DSM 43388 and DSM 46075. Their genome information will provide insights into the acquisition and regulation of glycopeptide antibiotic resistance genes.
