The cypress jewel beetle, Ovalisia festiva L. (Coleoptera: Buprestidae, Chrysochroinae), and the bark Phloeosinus aubei Perris Curculionidae, Scolytinae), are invasive wood-boring pests of scale-leafed conifers (Cupressaceae), threatening tree nurseries urban green areas. In order to reveal which volatile compounds their common host, American arborvitae, Thuja occidentalis cultivar ‘Smaragd’, t...

Telfairia occidentalis Hook. f., Cucurbitaceae, is a leafy vegetable used in soup and folk medicine in southern Nigeria. This study was conducted to investigate the anxiolytic and sedative activities of the hydroethanolic extract of the leaves of T. occidentalis in mice. The hole-board, elevated plus maze, open-field, light-dark, and social interaction tests were used in this study. T. occident...

Carrière, Thuja occidentalis L., Betula alleghaniensis Britton, Pinus strobus across the Lake States Region USA. consume buds twigs tree seedlings saplings forage. Deer populations in USA have increased over recent decades due to ...

The structure and leaf development of the shoot apical meristem in embryos and seedlings of Thuja orientalis L.were observed by using SEM,and the area of the shoot apical meristem was studied by an image analyzer.The shoot apex of embryos was of a round tip cone shape with flat sides;it was transformed into an inverted boat shape.In seedlings,the shoot apical meristem was of a convex-rectangula...

Abstract. Many monoterpenes have at least two different stereochemical forms, and many biosynthetic pathways are known to favor one product over the other(s). A rapid method was developed used in determination of (-/+)-enantiomeric distributions for ?-pinene, ?-pinene, camphene, limonene, ?-phellandrene as emitted by plant material from six conifer species. The species included pine Pseudotsuga...
