Eucodonia ‘Adele’ initiates seasonal shoot growth from a scaly rhizome. Larger rhizome segments (>2.5 cm) produced shoots at greater percentage compared with smaller segments. Shoots on larger were initiated sooner and had longer length. However, when formation efficiency was calculated as the number of potential per original stock rhizome, more efficient, producing three to four times many ...

Molineria latifolia (Singkut rhizome) is an endemic plant in tropical and humid climates, so it widely distributed several Asian countries. This study determines the antioxidant activity of rhizome ethanol extract isolated compounds. The a strong category with IC50 26.033 ppm. results isolation are known to contain 2,6-dimethoxy-benzoic acid 4-hexyl-2,5-dihydro-2,5-dioxo-3-furanacetic

Leaves and rhizome methanol extracts of Albertisia delagoensis tested positive against Plasmodium falciparum, with a very low cytotoxic activity in leaves against the Graham cell line.

Although Atractylodes macrocephala is an important economically medicinal plant with a centuries’ cultivation history, our understanding of its morphological variation remains rudimentary. Here, in order to generate information on character association, and influence of characters on rhizome yield of cultivated Atractylodes macrocephala, variability, correlation and principal component analysis...

This study describes the biological activity of the dried leaves, stem and rhizomes of Curcuma zedoaria belonging to the family Zingiberaceae. The dried powders of the plant were extracted with organic solventsmethanol and pet ether sequentially by the maceration process. The crude extract of methanol and pet ether were then investigated for analgesic and antimicrobial activity. At an oral dose...

Plants of Dictyostega orobanchoides arise from about 1 mm thick rhizomes, which are densely covered by sessile, imbricate, peltate scale leaves. The resulting interfoliar spaces are inhabited by fungal hyphae up to 6 μm thick, often developing vesicle-like bladders. The fungus also colonizes the tissue of the scale leaves, interas well as intracellularly, forming vesicles but no arbuscules, and...

The development of single clones of the seagrass Cymodocea nodosa was analysed using a growth model based on the formation of structures limited by diffusive aggregation. The model implemented the measured clonal growth rules (i.e. rhizome elongation and branching rates, branching angle, and spacer length between consecutive shoots) and shoot mortality rate for C. nodosa at Alfacs Bay (Spain). ...

A review of the online exhibition Forking PiraGene, co-presented by Rhizome and C-Lab Taiwan.

Objective: Rheum turkestanicum (R. turkestanicum) rhizomes have been used in Iranain traditional medicine as an anti-diabetic agent. The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate the anti-diabetic and antioxidant activities of R. turkestanicum rhizome extract in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.Materials and Methods: Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of 5...
