Negative effects of temperature and atmospheric depositions on the seed viability of common juniper (Juniperus communis).
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Environmental change is increasingly impacting ecosystems worldwide. However, our knowledge about the interacting effects of various drivers of global change on sexual reproduction of plants, one of their key mechanisms to cope with change, is limited. This study examines populations of poorly regenerating and threatened common juniper (Juniperus communis) to determine the i...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory activity of Juniper (Juniperus communis) berry essential oil in human dermal fibroblasts
Although juniper (Juniperus communis) berry essential oil (JEO) has been used in skin care products, research on its biological activity in human skin cells is scarce. In the current study, we explored the biological activity of JEO (with alpha-pinene as the major active component) in pre-inflamed human dermal fibroblasts, which were designed to mimic the disease biology of chronic inflammation...
متن کاملInteraction between juniper Juniperus communis L. and its fruit pest insects: Pest abundance, fruit characteristics and seed viability
The relationships between the fruit features of Juniperus communis and the presence of fruit pests were studied in Sierra Nevada, SE Spain. The abundance of two insect species a pulp-sucking scale and a seed-predator wasp was surveyed with respect both to fruit characteristics and to viability of seeds contained therein. Seed-predator pressure was not significantly related to any fruit characte...
متن کاملStudy of the Essential Oil from Juniperus communis "Berries" (Cones) Growing Wild in Greece.
Capillary GC and GC-MS analysis of the essential oil from the cones of JUNIPERUS COMMUNIS L. grown wild in Greece showed a high content of alpha-pinene (ca 27%), sabinene (13%), germacrene-D (10%), and myrcene (9%). The total oil (yield 2.95%) consisted of almost 105 constituents, 77 of which representing 93.1% were identified. As the main component of the oxygenated monoterpenes was found the ...
متن کاملChemical Composition and Antioxidant Properties of Juniper Berry (Juniperus communis L.) Essential Oil. Action of the Essential Oil on the Antioxidant Protection of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Model Organism
The essential oil of juniper berries (Juniperus communis L., Cupressaceae) is traditionally used for medicinal and flavoring purposes. As elucidated by gas chromatography/flame ionization detector (GC/FID) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS methods), the juniper berry oil from Bulgaria is largely comprised of monoterpene hydrocarbons such as α-pinene (51.4%), myrcene (8.3%), sabine...
