Vegetation in riparian zones has a significant influence on resistance, velocity distribution and turbulence intensity. This study experimentally investigated the effect of emergent bending riparian zone vegetation on the flow. The results showed that the frond and stem parts of Acorus calami had different influences on hydraulic features and that the relative depth ratio of water depth h to st...

β-Asarone (2, 4, 5-trimethoxy-(Z)-1-propenylbenzene) was obtained from Acorus calamus. Nitration of β-asarone with AgNO2/I2 in ether yielded 1-(2, 4, 5-trimethoxy phenyl)-2-nitropropene (1) but with NaNO2/I2 in ethylene glycol obtained 1-(2, 4, 5-trimethoxy phenyl)-1-nitropropene (2). Compound 2 was prepared for the first time and characterized using IR, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, and GC-MS spectra a...

Rhizosphere oxygen profiles are the key to understanding the role of wetland plants in ecological remediation. Though in situ determination of the rhizosphere oxygen profiles has been performed occasionally at certain growing stages within days, comprehensive study on individual roots during weeks is still missing. Seedlings of Acorus calamus, a wetland monocot, were cultivated in silty sedimen...

INTRODUCTION Diabetes is a metabolic disorder of carbohydrates, proteins and fats due to deficiency of insulin secretion. In the whole world, about 5% of the general populations are suffering from diabetes and this disease is taking the lives of people more than AIDS. The countries where people are suffering from this disease are India, USA, China, Japan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Brazil, Russia, It...

The basalmost monocot genus Acorus is well-known for its use in traditional oriental medicine. It comprises the groups of A. calamus and gramineus. A recent study recognized three species latter group, gramineus, macrospadiceus, tatarinowii. material currently known as tatarinowii has been extensively studied a source various chemical compounds producing first published genome Acorus, which imp...
