Abstract Begonia limprichtii (Begoniaceae) is reported from India for the first time. It belongs to section Platycentrum and similar B. thomsonii , but overall less hairy with ovary nearly glabrous (versus villous) upper wing beaked rounded triangular).

Plants synthesize small amounts of carbohydrate-binding proteins on exposure to stress. For example, on exposure to drought, high salt, wounding and by treatment with some plant hormones or by pathogen attack. In contrast to the 'classical' plant lectins that are mostly located in the vacuolar compartment, this new class of inducible lectins is present in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus. Takin...

Euonymus alatus (Thunb.) Sieb., also known as the arrow tree in Korea, is a plant East Asia used traditional medicine and food. In particular, wings of E. are rich phenolic compounds. This study evaluated antioxidant, α-glucosidase inhibition, anti-cancer activities wing extracts. The radical hydrogen peroxide scavenging acitvities reducing power 1,000 μg/mL extracts, were similar to those posi...

We determine the Chow rings of the complex algebraic groups E6 and E7, giving generators and relations in terms of Schubert classes of the corresponding flag varieties. This is a continuation of the work of R. Marlin on the computation of the Chow rings of SOn, Spinn,G2, and F4.
