Structure and Properties of Silk from the African Wild Silkmoth Gonometa postica Reared Indoors
African wild silkmoth, Gonometa postica Walker (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae), were reared indoors in order to examine the influence of rearing conditions on the structure and properties of silk cocoon shells and degummed fibers by using a scanning electron microscope, an Instron tensile tester, and a thermogravimetric analyzer. The cocoons reared indoors showed inferior quality in weight, length...
متن کاملGrowth, water relations and solute accumulation in osmotically stressed seedlings of the tropical tree Colophospermum mopane.
Root and hypocotyl elongation, water status and solute accumulation were studied in osmotically stressed seedlings of the tropical tree, Colophospermum mopane (Kirk ex Benth.) Kirk ex J. Léonard, which grows in hot arid areas of southern and central Africa. Seeds were imbibed for 24 h and then subjected to a polyethylene-glycol-generated osmotic stress of -0.03 (control), -0.2, -0.8, -1.6 or -2...
متن کاملThe Evaluation of Hydrogen Peroxide Bleaching of Gonometa Postica Silk
Degradasie van Gonometa postica-sy as gevolg van bleiking is nie alleen ’n belangrike probleem vir verbruikers nie, maar ook vir die vervaardiger. Die doel met die navorsing was om die effek van waterstofperoksiedbleiking op G. postica-sy te bepaal. Die spesifieke doelstelling was om die invloed van temperatuur, pH en tydsduur op waterstofperoksiedvrystelling, kleurverskil, breekkrag en styfhei...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Primary Metabolome of Brachystegia boehmii and Colophospermum mopane under Different Fire Regimes in Miombo and Mopane African Woodlands
Miombo and Mopane are ecological and economic important woodlands from Africa, highly affected by a combination of climate change factors, and anthropogenic fires. Although most species of these ecosystems are fire tolerant, the mechanisms that lead to adaptive responses (metabolic reconfiguration) are unknown. In this context, the aim of this study was to characterize the primary metabolite co...
متن کاملHabitat suitability modeling for wild goat (Capra aegagrus) in a mountainous arid area, central Iran
Wild goat (Capra aegagrus) is one of the most prominent mountain mammals dispersed in many habitats in Iran. However, few studies on the relationship between this species and its habitat have been conducted. This species is recognized as one of the main food source for highly endangered species such as cheetah and leopard. In this study which lasted from fall 2009 through summer 2011, seasona...
