The ethnopharmacological survey has revealed that only the frontal leaves of Tectona grandis have been used for the treatment of wounds. Comparative study of the activity and phytoconstituents of the mature and the frontal leaves of Tectona grandis was carried out. Wound healing activity of both the extracts was evaluated by the excision wound model. The wound healing was 100 % on the 12 day an...

This is the first register of Sinoxylon conigerum attacking timber of teak (Tectona grandis L.f.), mango tree (Mangifera indica L.) and (Astronium fraxinifolium Schott) in the municipalities of Cuiabá and Várzea Grande, State of Mato Grosso, Brazil.

Saprospira grandis is a coastal marine bacterium that can capture and prey upon other marine bacteria using a mechanism known as 'ixotrophy'. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of Saprospira grandis str. Lewin isolated from La Jolla beach in San Diego, California. The complete genome sequence comprises a chromosome of 4.35 Mbp and a plasmid of 54.9 Kbp. Genome analysis revealed incom...

India’s forest cover was estimated to be about 67.701 million hectares or 22.8 percent of the country’s land area and other wooded lands comprise of 4.11 million ha (UNEP Report, 2000). The dense forests in almost all the major states has been reduced and forest degradation is a matter of serious concern now. Principal plantation species such as Acacia spp., Eucalyptus spp. and Tectona grandis ...

Phenolic compounds like phenolic acids, flavonoids and tannins are important plant metabolites that are important for many pharmacological activites.we had earlier demonstrated the wound healing activity, analgesic and anti inflammatory of the methanolic extract. The extract was investigated to determine the nature of the phytoconstituents responsible for these activities and this led to the is...

The present study was aimed at investigating the antioxidant activities of the various fractions of the hydromethanolic extract of the leaves of Coccinia grandis L. Voigt. (Cucurbitaceae). The antioxidant activities of the fractions have been evaluated by using nine in vitro assays and were compared to standard antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, alpha-tocopherol, curcumin and butylated hydroxy...

The scelionid parasitoid Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston,1858) has been detected in Belgium for the first time based on specimens reared from a parasitized egg mass of Nezara viridula (Linnaeus,1758) collected an urban garden at Sint-Amandsberg, Ghent. Identification was adult morphology and DNA barcoding. This is presently believed to be northernmost record Europe T. could consequence northward ...

The economic importance of some Eucalyptus species, including interspecific hybrids, has been extended from the traditional interest of pulp and paper production to the emergent areas of bio-fuels and bio-materials. New genomic resources and high throughput technologies have provided the Eucalyptus research international community with the opportunities to identify genomic regions of interest i...

background: to study the chemical constituents and larvicidal activity of essential oil extracted from the leaves of coccinia grandis against three mosquito species. methods: essential oil was extracted by hydro distillation using clevenger apparatus and was analyzed for chemical constituents by gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometry (gc-ms). larvicidal activity was recorded after 12 and 24h...
