Rhus coriaria L. is known as Sumac. R. coriaria extracts are important in drug development with numerous pharmacological reputations in the South-Eastern Anatolia, Mediterranean area and Western Asia especially in Iran. Regarding the new multi-functional properties of R. coriaria and the related valuable ongoing reports, we were prompted to review the phytochemical an...

A maioria dos envolveram famílias Anacardiaceae, Arecaceae, Annonaceae, Apocynaceae, Caryocaraceae, Clusiaceae, Fabaceae, Malpighiaceae, Myrtaceae Rubiaceae, Oxalidaceae, Olacac...

As part of a Microbial Observatory of Caterpillars located in the Area de Conservacíon Guanacaste (ACG) in northwestern Costa Rica, we isolated a novel species of the genus Vannella associated with the food of the caterpillars of the saturniid moth Rothschildia lebeau, namely the leaves of the dry forest deciduous tree Spondias mombin (Anacardiaceae). The new species can be distinguished from o...

Mangiferin (2-C-β-D-glucopyranosyl-1,3,6,7-tetrahydroxyxanthone) is a polyphenol with strong antioxidant properties. Mangiferin is obtained from the mango tree (Mangifera indica L., Anacardiaceae). It has been proven that mangiferin exhibits many pharmacological activities. The aim of this study was to analyze the penetration of mangiferin into the human skin and through the skin. According to ...

In several tropical and subtropical forests, plants of the understorey act as an ecological filter that differentially affects woody species regeneration. In convex sectors of the Schinopsis balansae (Anacardiaceae) forests of the Southeastern Chaco there are dense colonies of terrestrial bromeliads. These may influence forest regeneration by intercepting rain water and propagules in their tank...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY We tested PCR amplification of 91 low-copy nuclear gene loci in taxa from Sapindales using primers developed for Bursera simaruba (Burseraceae). METHODS AND RESULTS Cross-amplification of these markers among 10 taxa tested was related to their phylogenetic distance from B. simaruba. On average, each Sapindalean taxon yielded product for 53 gene regions (range: 16-90). Ara...

Embryo rescue refers to an in vitro technology have been used for propagating plants under from poorly developed embryos by avoiding embryo abortion. The aim of the present study was regeneration a medicinally wild tree species Buchanania lanzan through method. Isolated immature dissected out de-coded seeds collected 15 years old trees were cultured Woody Plant Medium (WPM) test germination. 10...
