Ecotoxicity of a novel biopesticide from Artemisia absinthium on non-target aquatic organisms

Artemisia absinthium: burning plant!

Phytodermatoses are skin lesions secondary to prolonged contact with certain herbs. Many plants have been described responsible for this type of incident. Mrs. H., 50 years old, without pathological history, presented at the consultation for a sharp pain in the face, without any functional sign. The questioning found the application of a poultice, advised by a neighbor, containing the "Artemisi...

Responses of non-target aquatic organisms to aqueous propanil exposure.

Propanil (3',4'-dichloropropionanilide) is one of the world’s most widely used rice herbicides, and it is extensively used in Arkansas, the leading rice producer in the United States (Webster and Gunnel1 1992). On average, the United States has applied approximately five kg/ha/year to about 70-100% of rice hectareacreage for the past two decades (US EPA 1987; Schlenk and Moore 1993). Arkansas, ...

Isolation and Identification of a Senescence-promoting Substance from Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium L.).

The senescence-promoting substance of wormwood (Artemisia absinthium L.) as detected by the oat (Avena sativa L. cv "Victory") leaf assay has been identified as (-)-methyl jasmonate, methyl (1S, 2R)-3-oxo-2-(2'-cis-pentenyl)-cyclopentane-1-acetate, by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and optical rotatory dispersion. Its senescence-promoting effect was much stronger than that of absci...
