The cypress family (Cupressaceae) possesses highly rearranged plastomes that lack a pair of large inverted repeats typically found in land plants. A few cypress species have been reported to contain isomeric plastomes, but whether the existence of isomeric plastomes is ubiquitous in the family remains to be investigated with a broader taxon sampling. In this study, we sequenced the complete pla...

There are by now several attempts to make the theory of the field of one element F1 rigorous. In [10] the authors formalize the transition from rings to schemes on a categorial level and apply this machinery to the category of sets to obtain the category of F1-schemes as in [1]. In [3] and [5] the authors extend the definition of rings in order to capture a structure that deserves to be called ...

In an earlier work, we showed that if the Hodge conjecture holds for all complex abelian varieties of CM-type, then the Tate conjecture holds for all abelian varieties over finite fields (Milne 1999b). In this article, we extract from the proof a statement (Theorem 1.1) that sometimes allows one to deduce the Tate conjecture for the powers of a single abelian variety A over a finite field from ...

The behavior of Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) and Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) pollens in an urban area was examined through the measurements of the dispersion characteristics at the various sampling locations in both outdoor and indoor environments. Airborne pollens were counted continuously for three months during the Japanese cedar pollen and Japanese cypress seasons in 20...

Cypress canker caused by Seiridium cardinale was controlled by benomyl and chlorothalonil but not by tribasic copper sulfate. Cypress canker has been present in California since 1927 where it has caused considerable damage to planted Monterey cypress, Cupressus macrocarpa (6). The popularity of this California native range and usually canker disease appears, but some uninformed people still pla...

Leyland's cypress (xCupressocyparis leylandii) is a putative, spontaneous hybrid between Chamaecyparis nootkatensis and Cupressus macrocarpa. To investigate this putative origin, twenty five Leyland's cypresses were sampled, along with living, putative parents of Ch. nootkatensis and Cup. macrocarpa from gardens in the UK. The DNA was extracted and analyzed by DNA fingerprinting (RAPDs) and Int...

The Seminole Indians of Florida were studied on thek three reservations for blood types, red cell enzymes, serum proteins, physical measurements, and relationships. Both serologic and morphologic factors suggest their close similarity to other Indians and small amount of admixture. The Florida Seminoles are similar to Cherokee “full-bloods” in their absence of Rho and their incidence of 0 and M...

BACKGROUND : Cypress pollen is becoming an increasing cause of respiratory allergy in some regions worldwide. OBJECTIVE : The aim of this study was to determine some of the main allergens implicated in the common cypress (C. sempervirens) pollen allergy. METHODS : Pollen extracts were optimized by using some detergents and chaotropes in order to solubilize both water and non-water soluble p...

The leaf essential oil yields of clementine, cypress, rosemary, tea, and thyme were 0.22, 0.87, 1.46, 1.20, 0.72%, respectively, based on the dry weight plant material. oils contained highest levels oxygenated monoterpenes (60.14-91.70%). Rosemary tea rich in 1,8-cineole (49.98% 57.55%, respectively), they have potent antifungal activity against Alternaria alternata strain (MIC = 5000 μg/ml). T...
