Indigenous Woody Species Regeneration under the Canopies of Exotic Tree Plantations at Tore Forest, Gelana District, Southern Oromia, Ethiopia

Ethiopia has one of the longest forest plantation histories in Africa. Forest plantations in Ethiopia are mainly monocultures of exotic species, such as Eucalyptus globulus, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Cupressus lusitanica, Casuarina cunninghamiana, Pinus patula, Pinus radiata, and the native species Juniperus procera. Accordingly, in the end of the 19th century Eucalyptus species were introduced...

Cupressus lusitanica (Cupressaceae) leaf extract induces apoptosis in cancer cells.

A crude ethanolic extract of Cupressus lusitanica Mill. leaves demonstrate cytotoxicity in a panel of cancer cell lines. Cell death was due to apoptosis, as assessed by morphologic features (chromatin condensation and apoptotic bodies formation) and specific DNA fragmentation detected by in situ end-labeling of DNA breaks (TUNEL). The apoptotic cell death was induced timely in a dose-dependent ...
