This study was conducted to investigate variations of leaf chlorophyll content and surface spectral reflectance of different tree species (Daphniphyllum glaucescens、Michelia formosana、Illicium dunnianum and Machilus kusanoi) across contrasting terrain in the Nanjenshan Reserve of Kenting National Park, Southern Taiwan. The results showed that there were significant differences (P < 0.01) among ...

The characteristics of biochar vary with pyrolysis temperature. Chloropicrin (CP) is an effective fumigant for controlling soil-borne pests. This study investigated the characteristics of biochars prepared at 300, 500, and 700 ◦C by michelia alba (Magnolia denudata) wood and evaluated their capacity to adsorb CP. The study also determined the potential influence of biochar, which was added to s...

Four new monoterpenoid glycosides 1-4, named magnoliaterpenoid A-D, were isolated from a 50% aqueous acetone extract of flower buds of Magnolia biondii, along with one known compound, (1'R,3'S,5'R,8'S,2Z,4E)-dihydrophaseic acid 3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (5). Their structures and relative configuration were identified by extensive spectroscopic analysis (IR, UV, MS, 1D and 2D NMR). The aglycones o...

− In this study we investigated the effects of Magnolia Bark (MB) extract and its constituents, such as honokiol and magnolol, on gastritis in rats and the growth of human gastric cancer cells. The MB extract, honokiol, and magnolol showed the acid-neutralizing capacities, the antioxidant activities, and the inhibitory effect on the growth of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori.) at the dose of 50 μ...

Idealized edged and non-edged indenters, mimicking canine teeth, were used to puncture thin materials and thick materials. Less force was needed for the edged (triangular in cross section) indenter to penetrate thin Mylar, paper, leather, beetle elytra and turkey skin than the non-edged (circular in cross-section) indenter. Oak, grass and magnolia leaves responded equally to both indenters. In ...
