The filaree (Erodium cicutarium), a small, flowering plant related to geraniums, possesses a unique seed dispersal mechanism: the plant can fling its seeds up to half a meter away; and the seeds can bury themselves by drilling into the ground, twisting and untwisting in response to changes in humidity. These feats are accomplished using awns, helical bristles of dead but hygroscopically active ...

Continual exposure to 1.5 ml l ethylene caused 100% petal abscission within 2 h from detached flowers of Pelargonium peltatum (L.) ‘Pink Blizzard’ (ivy geranium) harvested just after the stigmatic lobes had separated. When flowering plants were first pretreated for 2 h with 1 ml l 1-MCP, ethylene-induced petal abscission was completely inhibited. However, the effect was transient, since percent...

The quantitative analysis of bioactive phenolic compounds was carried out for the first time in above-ground plant parts Geranium dalmaticum (Beck) Rech. f. and G. macrorrhizum L. (Geraniaceae) from Croatia by means UV-Vis spectrophotometric methods HPLC analysis. Both species had similar contents polyphenolic substances expressed as mg standard equivalent /g dried herbal sample: total polyphen...

It can . . . come as a bit of a shock to meet your first non-obvious theorem, which will typically be Fermat’s Little Theorem. — Dominic Yeo [10] The non-obviousness of Fermat’s Little Theorem is the most interesting part of any introductory number theory course. We are therefore motivated to determine if Fermat’s Little Theorem can be extended to the Gaussian integers, as many other useful pro...

Alpha amylases cleave the starch like molecules and led to increase in blood sugar level diabetic patients then order manage it inhibition action is carried out by their inhibitors. The α-amylase inhibitors catalyses process of endo-hydrolysis α (1→ 4) glycosidic linkage present which ultimately decrease hydrolysis process. It also affects carbohydrate absorption intestine. In 1945, first alpha...

the effects of two iranian medicinal plants including zataria multiflora and geranium pelargoniumwere evaluated on growth-inhibiting of some toxigenic fungi such as aspergillus flavus, a. parasiticus, a.ochraceus and fusarium verticillioides. in this study, standard z. multiflora and g. pelargonium essentialoils (eos) were diluted in 0.01% dimethyl sulfoxide. different dilutions of z. multiflor...
