Anti stress activity of Mikania micrantha Kunth roots in Wistar albino rats
Objective: The present study was designed to evaluate adaptogenic activity of methanolic and aqueous extract of roots of Mikania micrantha Kunth in Wistar albino rats using different experimental models such as Anoxia stress tolerance, swimming endurance and immobilisation stress. Methods: The plant was subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening. The parameters like anoxia stress toleranc...
متن کاملenergetic cost of leaf construction in the invasive weed Mikania micrantha H.B.K. and its co-occurring species: implications for invasiveness
Construction cost (CC) is a quantifiable measure of energy demand for biomass production and is related to energy-use efficiency. Low construction cost was hypothesized to give invaders a growth advantage by utilizing energy efficiently. The present study examines the energetic cost of leaf construction in the invasive weed Mikania micrantha H.B.K. and its five common co-occurring species (Ager...
متن کاملPhenolics from Mikania micrantha and Their Antioxidant Activity.
A phytochemical study on the aerial parts of Mikania micrantha led to the isolation of two new phenolic compounds, benzyl 5-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-2,5-dihydroxybenzoate (1) and (7S,8R)-threo-dihydroxydehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 9-acetate (2), together with twelve known compounds, benzyl 2-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-2,6-dihydroxybenzoate (3), 4-allyl-2,6-dimethoxyphenol glucoside (4), (+)-isolariciresino...
متن کاملCan Failure be Turned into Success for Biological Control of Mile-a-Minute Weed (Mikania micrantha)?
Research into biological control of Mikania micrantha Kunth (Asteraceae) started in 1978, concentrating on insect agents. Host specificity studies on the first agent, Liothrips mikaniae (Priesner) (Thysanoptera, Phlaeothripidae) from Trinidad were completed by 1982, and the thrips was released in the Solomon Islands in 1988 and, subsequently in Malaysia in 1990. Neither release led to establish...
متن کاملInteractive Effect of Herbivory and Competition on the Invasive Plant Mikania micrantha
A considerable number of host-specific biological control agents fail to control invasive plants in the field, and exploring the mechanism underlying this phenomenon is important and helpful for the management of invasive plants. Herbivory and competition are two of the most common biotic stressors encountered by invasive plants in their recipient communities. We predicted that the antagonistic...
