Photosensitisation and crystal-associated cholangiohepatopathy in sheep grazing Brachiaria decumbens.
Two outbreaks of photosensitivity and jaundice in sheep grazing the grass, Brachiaria decumbens. In West Java in 1983 and 1983 and 1990 are described. Aggregates of acicular clefts and crystals were present in bile canaliculi, bile ducts, Kupffer cells, hepatocytes and in kidney tubules. The number of crystals increased with the length of exposure to the plant and sheep that died had the larges...
متن کاملToxicity of Crepis lacera in grazing ruminants
BACKGROUND Crepis lacera is a plant from the Asteraceae family that is common in the Mediterranean region. Farmers believe that this plant may be deadly to small ruminants in areas of southern Italy. However, scientific evidence is lacking, and no proof exists that C. lacera is toxic to ruminants. Necropsies conducted on four sheep revealed lesions in their livers and kidneys. RESULTS In the ...
متن کاملSaponins and Sapogenins from Brachiaria decumbens Stapf
Quatro saponinas esteroidais e três sapogeninas foram identificadas das partes aéreas de Brachiaria decumbens. As estruturas desses compostos foram estabelecidas através de métodos químicos e espectroscópicos (RMN de H e C, HMBC, HMQC) como 3 -metóxi-lanost-9(11)-eno (1), diosgenina (2a), iamogenina (2b), 3-O-D-glicopiranosil-24(S)-etil-22E-deidrocolesterol (3a), 3O-D-glicopiranosil-24(R)-etil-...
متن کاملGenome elimination during microsporogenesis in two pentaploid accessions of Brachiaria decumbens (Poaceae).
Polyploidy is a prominent and significant force in plant evolution, taking place since ancient times and continuing until today. Recent cytogenetic studies in the genus Brachiaria using germplasm collected from wild African savannas in the 1980s revealed that most species and accessions within species are polyploid. Diploid, tetraploid, and pentaploid accessions have been found. We found asynch...
متن کاملA Parthenogenesis Gene Candidate and Evidence for Segmental Allopolyploidy in Apomictic Brachiaria decumbens
Apomixis, asexual reproduction through seed, enables breeders to identify and faithfully propagate superior heterozygous genotypes by seed without the disadvantages of vegetative propagation or the expense and complexity of hybrid seed production. The availability of new tools such as genotyping by sequencing and bioinformatics pipelines for species lacking reference genomes now makes the const...
