Rapid and Specific Modulation of Stomatal Conductance by Blue Light in Ivy (Hedera helix)

Nanoparticle biofabrication using English ivy (Hedera helix)

BACKGROUND English ivy (Hedera helix) is well known for its adhesive properties and climbing ability. Essential to its ability to adhere to vertical surfaces is the secretion of a nanocomposite adhesive containing spherical nanoparticles, 60-85 nm in diameter, produced exclusively by root hairs present on adventitious roots. These organic nanoparticles have shown promise in biomedical and cosme...

Airborne contact dermatitis caused by common ivy (Hedera helix L. ssp. helix).

Conflict of interests: The authors declare no conflict of interests. andneck. He hadno previous skin disease. He hadworked as a landscape gardener for the previous 2 years, and had been pruning common ivy 2 days before the dermatitis outbreak. Examination showed severe dermatitis on the middle of his thighs down to his lower legs, partly involving the ankles, and on the middle of his upper arms...

Dermatitis from common ivy (Hedera helix L. subsp. helix) in Europe: past, present, and future.

Common ivy (Hedera helix subsp. helix) is a well-known native and ornamental plant in Europe. Reports on contact dermatitis from ivy have regularly appeared since 1899. Recently, it has been suggested that allergic contact dermatitis from the plant may be under-diagnosed, partly due to lack of commercial patch test allergens. The objective of the article is to present the results of aimed patch...

Characterization of English ivy (Hedera helix) adhesion force and imaging using atomic force microscopy

English ivy (Hedera helix) is well known for its ability to climb onto and strongly adhere to a variety of solid substrates. It has been discovered that the ivy aerial rootlet secretes an adhesive composed of polysaccharide and spherical nanoparticles. This study aims to characterize the mechanical properties of the nanocomposite adhesive using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The adhesive was fi...
