Experiments with Pyrethreum Roseum in Killing Insects

Male-killing bacteria in insects: mechanisms, incidence, and implications.

Bacteria that are vertically transmitted through female hosts and kill male hosts that inherit them were first recorded in insects during the 1950s. Recent studies have shown these "male-killers" to be diverse and have led to a reappraisal of the biology of many groups of bacteria. Rickettsia, for instance, have been regarded as human pathogens transmitted by arthropods. The finding of a male-k...

Nematicidal epipolysulfanyldioxopiperazines from Gliocladium roseum.

Five new verticillin-type epipolysulfanyldioxopiperazines, gliocladine A (1), B (2), C (3), D (4), and E (5), were isolated from wheat solid-substrate fermentation of Gliocladium roseum 1A, along with four known compounds, verticillin A (6), 11'-deoxyverticillin A (7), Sch52900 (8), and Sch52901 (9). Their structures were elucidated by extensive 1D and 2D NMR studies, MS, and chemical transform...

Insulin Secretagogue Fraction of Argyrolobium Roseum

Argyrolobium roseum Cambers Jaub & Spauch; Papilionaceae, is a sexually reproducing, rare, annual herb that grows in tropical and sub-temperate tracts of the north-western Himalayan region of the Indian subcontinent; it has neither been documented for treating diabetes mellitus nor any other biological activity is attributed to this herb. Its ethanolic extract (KA-030) exhibited antihyperglycem...

Exploratory PK Experiments with Light as the Stimulus for Rodents, Insects, and and Plant

If psi is a widespread property of life, then psi might be manifest in animals and possibly even plants. Methods need to be developed for testing a variety of living organisms. After considering previous parapsychological research with animals, a method with the following characteristics was desired for testing rodents: 1. A PK test in which no conditioning or pre-testing is needed. 2. The stim...
