Taxus cuspidata (Japanese yew) pollen nasal allergy.
We have investigated the Taxus cuspidata pollinosis that has never been studied before. We applied immunoblotting method in order to detect specific IgE antibody against T. cuspidata using its pollen itself. Out of 18 patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis suffering mainly in April and May, 5 patients were sensitized with this pollen. Furthermore, we were able to diagnose one case as T. cuspi...
متن کاملYew (Taxus) intoxication in free-ranging cervids
Wild ruminants, including deer species (cervids) have incorrectly been regarded as refractory to yew (Taxus) intoxication. This assumption has been based upon anecdotal observations of individual deer browsing on yew over time without apparent adverse effect. A single case of yew intoxication was reported in a free-ranging Norwegian moose (Alces alces) in 2008. The current report describes five...
متن کاملTranscriptomic Response of Chinese Yew (Taxus chinensis) to Cold Stress
Taxus chinensis is a rare and endangered shrub, highly sensitive to temperature changes and widely known for its potential in cancer treatment. How gene expression of T. chinensis responds to low temperature is still unknown. To investigate cold response of the genus Taxus, we obtained the transcriptome profiles of T. chinensis grown under normal and low temperature (cold stress, 0°C) condition...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and characterization of the yew gene encoding squalene synthase from Taxus cuspidata.
The enzyme squalene synthase (EC 2.5.1.21) catalyzes a reductive dimerization of two farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) molecules into squalene, a key precursor for the sterol and triterpene biosynthesis. A full-length cDNA encoding squalene synthase (designated as TcSqS) was isolated from Taxus cuspidata, a kind of important medicinal plants producing potent anti-cancer drug, taxol. The full-length cD...
متن کاملThe Yew-nique Presence of Yew (Taxus canadensis) on Pells Island
Canada yew (Taxus Canadensis) can be found in abundance on Pells Island, but nowhere else on UMBS property around Douglas Lake in Pellston, Michigan. One hypothesis is that the presence of yew on Pells Island is due to the fact that deer, the yew’s main consumer, do not cross over to the island. We compared the ecological conditions on Pells Island to two other ecologically similar areas, testi...
