Influence of a salinity gradient on the vessel characters of the mangrove species Rhizophora mucronata.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although mangroves have been extensively studied, little is known about their ecological wood anatomy. This investigation examined the potential use of vessel density as a proxy for soil water salinity in the mangrove species Rhizophora mucronata (Rhizophoraceae) from Kenya. METHODS In a time-standardized approach, 50 wood discs from trees growing in six salinity categorie...
متن کاملComparing the function of aqueous extract of mangrove plants Avicennia marina and Rhizophora mucronata in biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles
In this study, the leaf extract activity of two species of mangrove plants, Avicennia marina (Avicenniaceae family) and Rhizophora mucronata (Rhizophoraceae) was compared in biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The AgNPs were investigated using spectrophotometry, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Abso...
متن کاملSap flow measurements of Ceriops tagal and Rhizophora mucronata mangrove trees by deuterium tracing and lysimetry.
Mangrove forest trees grow in severe conditions such as diurnal submersion and high salinity surface and subsurface waters. This study focuses on two species on Mayotte Island, i.e. Ceriops tagal and Rhizophora mucronata, living in the middle range of the coastal mangrove. The seedlings of these trees were planted in a tropical greenhouse with an original pump system built to reproduce the natu...
متن کاملInsecticidal Activity of Extracts Derived from Different Parts of the Mangrove Tree Rhizophora Mucronata (rhizophoraceae) Lam. against Three Arthropods
The insecticidal and antifeedant activity of extracts derived from different parts of the mangrove tree Rhizophora mucronata (Rhizophoraceae) Lam. is reported. The 70% ethanol extracts of leaves, bark, stem wood and pith were tested for toxicity against adults of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria (Forskal), the 2 instar larvae of Aedes aegypti (L.) and the 1 instar larvae of the brine shr...
متن کاملMosquito larvicidal efficacy of leaf extract from mangrove plant Rhizophora mucronata (Family: Rhizophoraceae) against Anopheles and Aedes species
The crude extract of mangrove plant Rhizophora mucronata was prepared in this present work. The extract was testified for its anti-mosquito larvicidal property against two species of mosquito viz: Anopheles stephensi and Aedes aegypti. The 48 hours exposure of various dilutions of 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 ppm were given to the III to IV instar larval population. Percentage mortality data was ana...
