Comparative Analysis of Acetonic and Watery Pollen Extract of Ambrosia Artemisiifolia L. on Drosophila Melanogaster
Chemical components of the acetone and watery extract of Ambrosia artemisiifolia (LINNAEUS, 1753) plant, and the two identified lactones in the acetone extract: the ambrosin and dihydroambrosin, was tested for genotoxicity activities. The genotoxicity of the extract was tested on the eukaryotic model system Drosophila melanogaster using the sex-linked recessive lethal test (SLRL test). The resu...
متن کاملProduction of allergenic pollen by ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) is increased in CO2-enriched atmospheres.
BACKGROUND The potential effects of global climate change on allergenic pollen production are still poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To study the direct impact of rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations on ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) pollen production and growth. METHODS In environmentally controlled greenhouses, stands of ragweed plants were grown from seed through flowering stages at b...
متن کاملModeling the dispersion of Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. pollen with the model system COSMO-ART
Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) is a highly allergenic plant that is spreading throughout Europe. Ragweed pollen can be transported over large distances by the wind. Even low pollen concentrations of less than 10 pollen m(-3) can lead to health problems in sensitive persons. Therefore, forecasting the airborne concentrations of ragweed pollen is becoming more and more important for ...
متن کاملA method to estimate pollen viability from pollen size variation.
The mean diameter of viable pollen grains is approximately 13 μm greater than the mean diameter of inviable grains in Mimulus guttatus. We show that this difference is large enough to be detected by particle counters and that these machines can be used to obtain a rapid estimate of pollen viability. While requiring a separate calibration, a size-based statistic is also strongly correlated with ...
متن کاملGibberellin regulates pollen viability and pollen tube growth in rice.
Gibberellins (GAs) play many biological roles in higher plants. We collected and performed genetic analysis on rice (Oryza sativa) GA-related mutants, including GA-deficient and GA-insensitive mutants. Genetic analysis of the mutants revealed that rice GA-deficient mutations are not transmitted as Mendelian traits to the next generation following self-pollination of F1 heterozygous plants, alth...
