Aquaculture systems may release large amounts of nutrients into the marine ecosystem that can lead to eutrophication. Many seaweed species are efficient in reducing the nutrient concentration in aquaculture waste. In this study, the agarophyte Gelidium elegans originating from Korea was investigated for bioremediation of tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) broodstock effluent (SBE) in a shrimp hatch...

objective: boerhaavia elegans l. (nyctaginaceae) is a medicinal plant used for the treatment of kidney disorders, urinary tract disorders and blood purification in baluch tribe. the aim of present study is to evaluate the antioxidant propertyof b. elegans species for the first time. materials and methods: different parts (leaf, stem and fruit) of the plant were extracted by using various solven...

The planting of trees on mine wastelands is an effective, long-term technique for phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated wastes. In this study, a pot experiment with seedlings of Koelreuteria paniculata under six treatments of local mine wastes was designed to determine the major constraints on tree establishment and to evaluate the feasibility of planting K. paniculata on manganese mine ...

fruit displays of goldenrain tree, Koelreuteria paniculata, have caught the eye of Western botanists and gardeners alike since 1747, when Pierre d’Incarville, a Jesuit priest, introduced the species to Europe from northern China. By 1763, this charming tree was being grown in the Jardin du Roi in Paris, and in 1809 it made its first known appearance in the United States when Thomas Jefferson re...

The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Trachemys scripta ssp. in Korea was sequenced and characterized. mt is constituted 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA 2 ribosomal genes) a control region. Phylogenetic analysis based on the showed that unidentified turtle had closely related to T. s. elegans, though it distinct morphology compared elegans. This study can provide informat...

In order to identify some endophytic fungi in common yew trees, healthy plant samples were investigated. In this study, 10 fungal species including Absidia spinosa, Aureobasidium pullulans, Lecanicillium lecanii, Nemania serpens, Pseudodictyosporium elegans, Leucostoma persoonii, Epicoccum nigrum, Stachybotrys chartarum, Gibberella tricincta and Gibberella baccata were identified as endophytic ...

The effects of elevated O 3 (O ) on photosynthetic characteristics urban trees were studied in an open-top air chamber. results showed that net rate ( P n), transpiration E t), stomatal conductance G s) and water use efficiency (WUE) different tree species decreased significantly with the increase concentration, while intercellular CO 2 (C i concentration increased concentration. Under concentr...
