OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study is to determine the digenean parasite fauna of Sarpa salpa (Sparidae) from the Mediterranean Sea. METHODS The fish samples from the coasts of Mersin-Anamur were brought to the Parasitology Research Laboratory of the Biology Department of Science Faculty of Atatürk University, dissected and investigated parasitologically. The parasites that were found in the ...

Ten Eurytomidae (Hymenoptera) parasitic wasp species described by Jean Brèthes and deposited in the Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales in Buenos Aires are treated and their nomenclature stabilized. The condition of the type material is described. Lectotypes are designated for Decatoma cecidosiphaga Brèthes, Prodecatoma parodii Brèthes, Eudecatoma opposita Brèthes, and Eurytoma caridei Brèthe...

Protein electrophoretic profiles cast doubt upon the prevalent theory that the B genome of the polyploid wheats was derived from a species of Aegilops. They suggest, instead, that the wild tetraploid wheats comprise a complex, whose components were derived from various combinations of diploid Triticum types, which evidently include the B-genome type.

Luffa acutangula and Luffa cylindrica are the two important species under the genus Luffa. These two species are used by traditional medicinal practitioners for treating various human disorders. The phytochemical analysis of the various parts of these plants has revealed many phytoconstituents of medicinal importance. The wide distribution of these species has made it easily available and many ...

This paper presents new records and noteworthy data on the following taxa in SE Europe adjacent regions: parasitic fungus Antherospora hortensis, saprotrophic fungi Loweomyces fractipes Pholiota henningsii, stonewort Chara canescens, mosses Grimmia caespiticia Rhodobryum ontariense, fern Woodsia alpina, monocots Aegilops triuncialis, Epipactis purpurata, Galanthus elwesii Typha shuttleworthii d...

The location o f malate dehydrogenase in the cyanobacteria, Anabaena cylindrica, Nostoc muscorum and Chlorogloeopsis fritsch ii was investigated by the fractionation o f cell-free ex­ tracts. The bulk o f the enzyme activity was associated with the thylakoid membrane fraction, which also exhibited complete photosynthetic electron transport reactions. Malate dehydro­ genase activity and photosys...

Bioactivity-guided fractionation of the methanolic extract of the rhizomes of Imperata cylindrica afforded a new compound, 5-hydroxy-2-(2-phenylethyl)chromone (1), together with three known compounds, 5-hydroxy-2-[2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]chromone (2), flidersiachromone (3), and 5-hydroxy-2-styrylchromone (4). Among these four compounds, 1 and 2 showed significant neuroprotective activity again...
