Water Transport in the Liana Bauhinia fassoglensis (Fabaceae).
To determine the efficiency of xylem conductance in the liana (woody vine) Bauhinia fassoglensis Kotschy ex Schweinf., we measured hydraulic conductance per unit stem length (measured K(h)), leaf-specific conductivity (LSC = K(h)/distal leaf area), transpiration rate (E), xylem water potential (epsilon), vessel number, and vessel diameter. The measured K(h) was 49% (se = 7%) of the predicted K(...
متن کاملCOX-2 inhibitors from stem bark of Bauhinia rufescens Lam. (Fabaceae)
Chemical investigation of the stem bark of Bauhinia rufescens resulted in the isolation of a new cyanoglucoside and menisdaurin from methanol extract and oxepin from petroleum ether extract. The isolated compounds were tested for their anti-inflammatory potentials based on the cyclooxygenase-2 enzyme (COX-2) model. Cyanoglucoside exhibited the highest activity among the compounds with an inhibi...
متن کاملLethality of cytochalasin B and other compounds isolated from fungus Aspergillus sp. (Trichocomaceae) endophyte of Bauhinia guianensis (Fabaceae).
Endophytic fungi are fungi that colonize internal tissues of plants; several biologically active compounds have been isolated from these fungi. There are few studies of compounds isolated from endophytic fungi of Amazon plants. Thus, this study aimed the isolation and structural identification of ergosterol (1), ergosterol peroxide (2), mevalonolactone (3), cytochalasin B (4) and cytochalasin H...
متن کاملDisturbance and clonal reproduction determine liana distribution and maintain liana diversity in a tropical forest.
Negative density dependence (NDD) and habitat specialization have received strong empirical support as mechanisms that explain tree species diversity maintenance and distribution in tropical forests. In contrast, disturbance appears to play only a minor role. Previous studies have rarely examined the relative strengths of these diversity maintenance mechanisms concurrently, and few studies have...
متن کاملTransport Mechanisms in Water
The transport mechanisms of substances in natural water bodies are considered. Dissolved substances can be regarded as passive in that they do not affect the velocity field of the water bodies. The particles of substances can be regarded as either passive or active. Transport of substances is caused by convection, and/or molecular and turbulent diffusion. The buoyancy forces thus have some infl...
