Distilled Eastern Redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) as an Alternative Substrate in the Production of Greenhouse-Grown Annuals

Production, Yield and Derivatives of Volatile Oils from Eastern Redcedar (Juniperus Virginiana L.)

Eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) is one of the most widely distributed indigenous conifers in southern states including Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. Eastern redcedar is also an important source of the volatile oils. This specie adversely influences the environment resulting in degrading grassland, displacement of native plant population and increasing wildlife hazard. Rangegrown east...

Podophyllotoxin Content in Leaves of Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana)

Eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana L. Cupressaceae) occurs naturally throughout eastern North America and has been identified as a source of podophyllotoxin. Podophyllotoxin is used to manufacture drugs for treatment of cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, genital warts, psoriasis, and multiple sclerosis. Leaf material was collected from Juniperus plants located in northern Mississippi once a mon...

Resistance of eastern redcedar

This study investigated resistance ofexperimental particleboard-chip panels manufactured from eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) to feeding by the wood-destroying eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermesjlavipes (Kollar). Eastern redcedar raw chips with or without foliage, and 2.5 by 2.5 by 1.3-cm rectangular blocks of single-layer or triple-layer particleboard-chip panels with or w...

Microalgae biomass as an alternative substrate in biogas production

The running down of fossil energy sources makes the production of bioenergy an expected need worldwide. Therefore, energy crops have gained increasing attention in recent years as a source for the production of bioenergy because they do not compete with food crops. Microalgae have numerous advantages such as fast growth rates and not competing with food production. Because of the fast growth, m...
