A molecular phylogeny of Costaceae (Zingiberales).
The phylogenetic relationships of Costaceae, a tropical monocotyledonous family sister to the gingers (Zingiberaceae), were investigated with a combination of two chloroplast loci (the trnL-F locus, including the trnL intron, the 3'trnL exon, and the trnL-F intergenic spacer, and the trnK locus, including the trnK intron and the matK coding region) and one nuclear locus (ITS1-5.8s-ITS2). The re...
متن کاملPterostilbene Monograph

Introduction Policosanol, an extract from sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum L.), has been heavily researched in Cuba in several human populations for its cholesterol-lowering properties. In addition to improving serum lipids, policosanol reduces LDL oxidation, decreases platelet aggregation, decreases smooth muscle proliferation, and improves symptoms of cardiovascular disease.

متن کاملLycopene Monograph
T o m a t o products, including ketchup, tomato juice, and pizza sauce, are the richest sources of lycopene in the U.S. diet, accounting for greater than 80 percent of the total lycopene intake of Americans. In addition to tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum) and tomato-based products, lycopene is also found in watermelon, papaya, pink grapefruit, and pink guava. Lycopene from both processed and ...
متن کاملA new phylogeny-based generic classification of Costaceae (Zingiberales)
Costaceae is one of the most easily recognizable groups within the Zingiberales, distinguished from other families within the order by well-developed and sometimes branched aerial shoots that have a characteristic monistichous (one-sided) spiral phyllotaxy (e.g., Kirchoff & Rutishauser, 1990). Its close relationship with Zingiberaceae is evidenced by its former placement as a subfamily within t...
