Abstract The plant family Caryophyllaceae, commonly known as the pink family, is divided into 3 subfamilies and contains over 80 genera with more than 2600 species that are widely distributed in temperate climate zones. Plants belonging to this produce a variety of secondary metabolites important an ecological context; however, some these also show health-promoting activities. most classes phyt...

A new species Bolanthusturcicus Koç & Hamzaoğlu, sp. nov. was discovered on Hasan Mountain (Turkey, Aksaray province) where it grows on volcanic stony slopes and alpine steppe. its description, images, chorology and ecology, and threat category are provided in this article. It was compared with a closely related species, Bolanthusminuartioides (Jaub. & Spach) Hub.-Mor., Bolanthushuber-morathii ...

Arenaria L. sensu lato es un género de cariofiláceas del que se conocen alrededor cien especies distribuidas en todos los continentes. En este trabajo da cuenta la existencia cuatro para flora vascular Chile, tres ellas nativas y una introducida, reduciendo así el número histórico nombres referidos a aceptando como válidas actualmente A. digyna Schltdl., rivularis Phil., serpens Kunth ser...

The latent period in the response of Mya to illumination varies inversely as the duration of the exposure to which it is subjected. The reciprocal of the latent period, measuring the velocity of the process which underlies it, is a linear function of the exposure period. Since the duration of the exposure represents the amount of photochemical activity, it is concluded that the substances forme...

1. The effect of temperature on the reaction time of Mya to light is mainly confined to the latent period. The sensitization period, representing a photochemical process, is changed comparatively little. 2. The relation between the latent period and the temperature is adequately expressed by the Arrhenius equation, for temperatures below 21 degrees C. Above this temperature, the latent period b...

cancer is a major cause of death worldwide and causes serious problems in human life. it is developed by uncontrolled growth of a cell or a group of cells. there are many difficulties in treatment of cancer and many researchers are involved in investigating for effective drugs to treat the disease. caryophyllaceae is a large family of about 86 genera and 2200 herbaceous or subshrub species. the...
