Sauromatum giganteum (Engl.) Cusimano & Hett Tuber are used in Chinese folklore medicine for treatment of neoplasms. However, the claim has not been scientifically validated. The aim of the study is to screen the antitumor bioactive fraction of Sauromatum giganteum (Engl.) Cusimano & Hett Tuber and sensitive tumor cell lines using a cytotoxicity assay in vitro and tumor transplantation ...

Eutrema giganteum (Brassicaceae), a new species from Hengduan Mountains in Sichuan Province, southwest China, is described, and its relationships to the closely related E. yunnanense is discussed based on morphological, cytological, and molecular data. It is similar morphologically to E. yunnanense but is readily distinguished by having robust (vs. slender), erect (vs. decumbent), and branched ...

Lagenidium giganteum, a facultative parasite of mosquito larvae, has recently been registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for operational mosquito control. We report here the first pilot scale production of the mycelium formulation. Scale-up from 10 to 650 liters was accomplished by a proportionate increase of medium components and volume of water. Foaming of the culture medium ...

Six bioassays were performed to evaluate the efficacy of the fungus, Lagenidium giganteum, against mosquitoes in water collected from 75 sources. The fungus infected larvae of 4 genera and produced greater than 90% mortality in water from some of the creeks, artificial containers and the wild rice field tested during 4 of the assays. There was no larval mortality due to the fungus in water from...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The basic set of adaptations necessary for salinity tolerance in vascular plants remains unknown. Although much has been published on salinity stress, almost all studies deal with spermatophytes. Studies of salinity tolerance in pteridophytes are relatively rare but hold promise for revealing the fundamental adaptations that all salt-tolerant vascular plants may share. The m...

The true digestibility of amino acids of 5 groups of different Trifolium varieties and hybrids was established by using the balance method adapted for geese. Digestibility of the most important amino acids Lysine varies from 70.40 (for tetraplod red clover) to 81.78 (for medium leafy white clover varieties); for Methionine from 60.54 (for Trifolium repens f. giganteum) to 89.42 (diploid red clo...

Different extracts of Rhodobryum giganteum Par. were screened with mice model of acute myocardial hypoxia induced by isoproterenol and pituitrin, eight compounds, i.e. p-hydroxycinnamic acid, caffeic acid-4-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, salicin, 7,8-dihydroxy coumarin, menthol, allantoin, palmitic acid, palmitamide were isolated and identified from the active fraction, among which p-hydroxycinnamic ac...

Allium ekimianum is described here as a new species. This taxon belongs to the genus Allium section Allium and grows in Elazığ Province (East Anatolia, Turkey). It is a narrowly distributed species and morphologically most similar to Allium asperiflorum and Allium sintenisii, and Allium erzincanicum but it is clearly differentiated due to the curved stem, smooth pedicel surfaces, bracteole arra...

Typhonium giganteum Engl. (BaiFuzi) is one of the herbs commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine against cancer. In our previous studies, 37 compounds were identified the SFE-CO(2) (supercritical fluid extraction with CO(2)) extract by GC-MS, including the four major components [β-sitosterol (40.22%), campesterol (18.45%), n-hexadecanoic acid (9.52%) and (Z,Z)-9,12-octadecadienoic acid (8....
