In the last years the supercritical fluid extraction has been frequently used to obtain volatile oils from aromatic plants. In this work we have applied this technique to a different vegetable matrix: poplar (Populus nigra and MC) buds as it is known that they contain antioxidant compounds. The results of the supercritical extraction have been compared with those of the conventional soxhlet ext...

The flavonoids present in beeswax produced in “La Alcarria” region were analyzed by HPLC. Pinocembrin, pinobanksin, pinobanksin 3-acetate, chrysin, galangin and techtochrysin were detected as the main flavonoid constituents. This is the first detailed report on the flavonoids o f beeswax. These substances are already present when wax scales are secreted by bees. The same flavonoid compounds wer...

Altering gene dosage through variation in gene copy number is a powerful approach to addressing questions regarding gene regulation, quantitative trait loci, and heterosis, but one that is not easily applied to sexually transmitted species. Elite poplar (Populus spp) varieties are created through interspecific hybridization, followed by clonal propagation. Altered gene dosage relationships are ...

As metals and metal compounds have impact on human health, it is important to identify biomonitor plants that can be used monitor their levels in environmental biological samples. In this study, two different (Populus nigra Cedrus libani) were as bioindicators. This was evaluated by monitoring heavy pollution Kırşehir province with these plant samples collected from the vicinity of casting fact...
