In cold-temperate ecosystems of the upper Great Lakes Region, evergreen conifer-dominated forests were once common. As a result of past management practices, early-successional deciduous forests now dominate the landscape. Embedded in this matrix are stands of shade-tolerant conifers, including Thuja occidentalis . For the past several decades, large-scale T. occidentalis regeneration in remnan...

the methanolic leaf extract of thuja occidentalis was evaluated for possible sedative activities in mice. sedative activity was evaluated by using hole cross, open field, thiopental sodium-induced sleeping time and elevated-plus maze (epm) tests at 200mg/kg and 400 mg/kg.  the extract decreased the locomotor activity of mice in hole cross, open field and epm test and showed the remarkable resul...

Papillomatosis is a condition in farm animals and is treated by surgical excision or application of certain caustic agents. Contrary to it, two cattle with teat warts were treated by an alternative method by using the thuja occidentalis (thuja-30, a homeopathic medicine) @ 10 drops Per os twice a day for a span of 3 weeks and lead to complete recovery.

The adverse side-effects associated with chemotherapy during cancer treatment have shifted considerable focus towards therapies that are targeted but devoid of toxic side-effects. In the present study, the antitumorigenic activity of thuja, the bioactive derivative of the medicinal plant Thuja occidentalis, was evaluated, and the molecular mechanisms underlying thuja-induced apoptosis of functi...

The objects of study were coniferous plants aged from 6 to 10 years. involved such as Siberian spruce (Pícea obováta), prickly Hoopsi (Picea pungens Hoopsii), western thuja Smaragd (Thuja occidentalis Smaragd), Brabant Brabant). subject the was pathological symptoms manifested on aboveground plant organs. planted in 2015 at age (thuja and Brabant) (prickly spruce) studies conducted May 2016 Sep...

A Sahiwal breed heifer calf of ~ 5-month age was presented with numerous warts varying sizes principally on head, face and neck. The history clinical examination were suggestive bovine cutaneous papillomatosis. animal treated medically an alternative medicine: Thuja occidentalis 30X. regressed completely after two months treatment occidentalis, suggesting this medicine can be used to treat in b...

—Northern white cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.) stands throughout the upper Midwestern United States have failed to recruit individuals to the canopy consistently for several decades. To examine local and landscape factors that influence cedar regeneration we recorded the abundance of cedar seedlings and saplings in 24 lowland cedar stands in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Wisconsin, du...

MCCUNE, B., and T. F. H. ALLEN. 1985. Will similar forests develop on similar sites? Can. J. Bot. 63: 367-376. Abies grandis, Taxus brevifolia, Thuja plicata, or any combination of these may dominate old-growth mesic forests of the Bitterroot Canyons, western Montana. Similar sites need not develop similar, relatively stable forests. This is shown by (i) anomalous distributional patterns of tre...
