UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite loci were developed for a monotypic species endemic to subtropical China, Cyclocarya paliurus, to help infer the evolutionary histories of ancient monotypic genera in subtropical China. • METHODS AND RESULTS Using the Fast Isolation by AFLP of Sequences COntaining repeats (FIASCO) protocol, 28 primer sets were identified in two wild population...

Ziziphus spina-christi L. extract from the northern region of Saudi Arabia, was investigated to determine its chemical composition and evaluate antioxidant antifungal properties. Fresh leaves were extracted using Soxhlet apparatus yield 8% w/w. Results qualitative study showed that this is rich in compounds belonging several classes (saponins, phenols, tannins). GC-MS analysis detected 38 with ...

This animation shows the polarization-dependent resonances of gold nanoparticle (NP) line patches. Multiple resonances were observed in hierarchical NP arrays influenced by nano-scale NP periodicity and microscale patch periodicity. This symmetry-breaking structure of line patches, however, shows polarization-dependent optical properties and different coupling along the x and y directions. I us...

Cyclocarya Paliurus (Bata1) Iljinskaja contains various bioactive secondary metabolites especially in leaves, such as triterpenes, flavonoids, polysaccharides and alkaloids, and its leaves are widely used as an hyperglycemic tea in China. In the present paper, we sequenced the transcriptome of the leaves and callus of Cyclocarya Paliurus using Illumina Hiseq 4000 platform. After sequencing and ...

Housing has been the basic need of mankind providing not only shelter but also private and dynamic setting for much social activities and interactions. The problem of housing has become an everyday discussion in all quarters of the public and private sectors of the African countries. It has became glaringly clear that most of the urban population lives in dehumanizing housing environment while ...
