Ganoderma colossum is a rare species of Ganodermataceae family with many biological and biochemical properties. It is associated with rot, wilt, dieback, and wood decay of many host plants such as Ficus carcica, Celtis laevigata, Pinus hondurensis, Callitris robusta, Eucalyptus citrodora, E. paniculata, E. puncata, and Phoenix canariensis. In Oman, this pathogen was isolated as new records from...

The unprovenanced and stylistically unusual wooden boat model (AM E60381) from the Australian Museum collection is examined to assess its identity age. analyses of construction method, wood, pigments, gesso demonstrate boat’s compatibility with ancient Egyptian craftwork. Three species wood are identified: cedar Lebanon (Cedrus libani), sycomore fig (Ficus sycomorus), sidr (Ziziphus spina-chris...

In the northern hemisphere, ber is a fruit that grows in tropical and subtropical climates. More than 600 species 50 genera make up family.

The genus Phoma Sacc. consists of important fungal plant pathogenic species occurring on economically important cultivated crops in spite of many other saprobic species. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify 35 isolates of Phoma species and related taxa collected from different hosts by means of morphological and molecular characters. Multi-locus phylogenetic analyses based on ITS1-5.8S-I...

The goal of this research is to investigate some morphological (fibre length, fibre diameter, cell wall thickness, Runkel coefficient, flexibility slenderness rigidity Luce's solid coefficient), physical (dry wood density, volumetric shrinkage) and chemical (cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, ash acetone soluble extractives contents) composition Konar (Ziziphus spina-christi) grown in Hormozgan ...

The present study was concerned with the pharmacological potency of zizyphus leaves extract towards antitumor in the form of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) model in female albino mice. Ascites tumor was introduced into mice by inoculation of 2 x 10 viable tumor cells/mouse. After 10 days of transplantation, the extraction of zizyphus leaves was given daily for 21 days via intraperitoneal route...
