inhalation of pollens from different species of acacia is a common cause of respiratory allergy in tropical areas of the world. acacia farnesiana is commonly used as street trees in towns and ornamental shade trees in parks and gardens throughout arid and semi-arid regions of asia. this study aimed to produce and purify the a. farnesiana pollen profilin (aca f 2) and evaluate its nucleotide seq...

Acacia species are quite difficult to differentiate using morphological characters. Routine identification of Acacia samples is important in order to distinguish invasive species from rare species or those of economic importance, particularly in the forest industry. The genus Acacia is quite abundant and diverse comprising approximately 1355 species, which is currently divided into three subgen...

While menopause is an usual process of aged in women, it is a critical period of women's life related with many problem and complaints. 1,2 Pelvic prolapse is common in postmenopausal women, which is defined as the loss of maintenance to the pelvic organs, and it causes in a herniation of these into the vaginal canal.

Anthropogenic habitat modification often has a profound negative impact on the flora and fauna of an ecosystem. In parts of the Middle East, ephemeral rivers (wadis) are characterised by stands of acacia trees. Green, flourishing assemblages of these trees are in decline in several countries, most likely due to human-induced water stress and habitat changes. We examined the importance of health...

Raru is a lesser-known plant species originating from North Sumatra, Indonesia. Information on the characteristics still limited, especially its chemical component. Therefore, this study aims to examine composition information of Cotylelobium lanceolatum, melanoxylon, and Vatica pauciflora woods based their axial log positions (bottom, middle, top). The wood analysis was performed in terms Indo...

The tribe Acacieae (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) contains two genera, the monotypic African Faidherbia and the pantropical Acacia, which comprise about 1200 species with over 950 confined to Australia. As currently recognized, the genus Acacia is subdivided into three subgenera: subg. Acacia, subg. Aculeiferum, and the predominantly Australian subg. Phyllodineae. Morphological studies have suggested ...

Gum Arabic (GA) or Acacia gum is an edible biopolymer obtained as exudates of mature trees of Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal which grow principally in the African region of Sahe in Sudan. The exudate is a non-viscous liquid, rich in soluble fibers, and its emanation from the stems and branches usually occurs under stress conditions such as drought, poor soil fertility, and injury (Williams & P...

The study was carried out on the availability and utilization pattern of various wild plant species by migratory elephants in relation to their nutritive values. It wasobserved that migratory elephants were selective for food plants in the wilderness. Out of 52 recorded plant species, only 22 plant species were found to be utilized either fully or partially as evidenced by branch breaking, deba...
