In this study, the two aqueous extracts from aerial parts of Aaronsohnia pubescens subsp. (Odorized extract (OE) and Deodorized (DE)) were used as some novel ecological corrosion inhibitors for mild steel (MS) in 1 M HCl medium. For reason, inhibition behavior OE DE having investigated using weight loss measurements, electrochemical assays, kinetic thermodynamic parameters, methods both station...

Gelsemium elegans (GE) is a kind of well-known toxic plant. It can be detoxified by Mussaenda pubescens (MP), but the detoxification mechanism is still unclear. Thus, a detoxification herbal formula (GM) comprising GE and MP was derived. The Caco-2 cells monolayer model was used to evaluate GM effects on transporting six kinds of indole alkaloids of GE. The bidirectional transport studies demon...

Aeollanthus suaveolens species popularly known as catinga de mulata belongs to the Lamiaceae family. In the Amazon region, it is used in folk medicine for the treatment of gastritis, convulsions of epileptic origin, stomach pain and diarrhea in the form of tea and juice. Essential oils have analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activity. This study evaluated the chemical composition o...

Based on phylogenetic studies and morphological evidence, we propose the synonymization of Morrenia and Schistogyne under Araujia and Oxypetalum respectively. As a result, eight new combinations are proposed in Araujia (A. brachystephana, A. hassleriana, A. herzogii, A. odorata, A. scalae, A. stuckertiana, A. stuckertiana subsp. grandiflora and A. variegata), and eight in Oxypetalum, including ...

Background Aspen(Populus tremula) and birch (Betula pubescens) are the fast-growing trees successfully used for the aim of plantation forestry. These species have the great potential in Russia to meeting the need for paper, timber and other wood-based products. However, enhanced growth rate, decreased lignin content and herbicide resistance are the required properties of new trees for plantatio...

Centrosema, Phytoalexins, Isoflavones, Tectorigenin, Aesculetin, Chemotaxonomy A phytoalexin isolated from the fungus-inoculated leaflets of Centrosema haitiense, C. pubescens (3 accessions) and C. virginianum has been identified as 5,7,4'-trihydroxy-6-methoxyisoflavone (tectorigenin). This compound is variously accompanied by other isoflavones includ­ ing the previously described phytoalexin, ...

Meiotic behavior and pollen fertility were analysed in five Epimedium species: Epimedium chlorandrum, Epimedium acuminatum, Epimedium davidii, Epimedium ecalcaratum and Epimedium pubescens. Chromosome numbers for five species were 2n = 2x = 12. All examined species displayed stable meiotic process and high pollen fertility (>76.67%). Meiotic abnormality partially affected pollen fertility. At m...
