The objective of this study was to investigate the aqueous extracts of Allamanda and Laurus nobilis to evaluate their wound healing activity in rats. METHODS Excision and inc...

[1] We present new annually resolved dO, dC, Mg/Ca, and Sr/Ca ratio records for two shells of the fast growing Mediterranean fan mussel Pinna nobilis, collected from proximal Spanish coast sea grass meadows. The relationship between the potential geochemical proxies and ontogenetic and environmental controlling factors is investigated. Specifically, the use of shell Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios as po...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite markers were developed and characterized in the vulnerable plant Hepatica nobilis var. japonica (Ranunculaceae) to investigate its genetic diversity, population structure, and gene flow. METHODS AND RESULTS Fourteen microsatellite markers were developed. The number of alleles per locus ranged from one to 12, and the expected heterozygosity per locus ranged ...

Attending to Wollemia nobilis (Wollemi Pine), we read this plant as ensconced and mobilised by political politicised forces, towards distinct colonial imperial ends. Seeking work beyond a language of flowers, attune the appropriation weaponisation plants; merely decorative or affective, understandings plants performing agency power. Our reading Wollemi pine emerges from scorched summer 2019/202...

A new genus, Canobolas Reid, Jurado-Rivera & Beatson, is erected for four species of Chrysomelinae: C. nobilis (Lea) (comb. nov. from Geomela Lea, and type species), C. jarrah sp. nov., C. minang sp. nov. and C. tubrabucca sp. nov., all of which are described. Canobolas is endemic to Australia, where it is confined to the far western and eastern edges of the continent. All species are flightles...

The genus Stapelia belongs to the family Asclepiadaceae, which comprises a group of some 50 species, which have been used in medicine for their anti-inflammatory and antiarithritic properties . The presence of alkaloids in the genus Stapelia was first reported by Keller , where hordenine was isolated from the aerial part of S. gigantea. In addition, Meyer et al. reported the detection of N -met...

Pinna nobilis is distributed in the northwest area of Mediterranean and Aegean Sea. In this study, on 9 September 2020, one specimen nobilis, pen shell, was observed during scuba diving at a depth 16 m off Samandag coast (36.259444° N, 35.810111° E), northeastern we for first time P. from Coast Turkey, coast. region, presence has never been previously recorded, new record confirms location

BACKGROUND Multidrug resistance is a worrying cause of treatment failure in bacterial infections. The search of bioactive constituents from medicinal plants against multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria has significantly evolved in the two last decades. In the present study, twenty-two compounds (three terpenoids, eleven phenolics and eight alkaloids) isolated from three Cameroonian medicinal plan...

Medicinal and aromatic plants are used since ancient times in folk medicine and traditional food, but also in novel pharmaceutical preparations. The controversy lies in the use of cultivated and/or wild plants presenting both advantages and disadvantages in biological, ecological but also economic terms. Herein, cultivated and wild samples of Laurus nobilis L. were chemically characterized rega...
