Therefore, the health burden of bronchial asthma is increasing globally at an alarming rate, providing a strong impetus for the development of new therapeutics. Myrica sapida is known traditionally in...

This paper reports the results of flavonoids determination expressed in rutin from marine algae. For this purpose, rutin and rutin AlCl3 complexes were spectrophotometrically studied in three domains of ligand concentrations: ligand Crut=1.34-6.7mg/L, 4-20mg/L and 2-32mg/L. The precision, accuracy, specificity, and the quantification limit of the method were verified. The calibration curve trac...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Myrica rivas-martinezii is a critically endangered endemic of the laurel forest of the Canary Islands and co-occurs very close to M. faya. Some authors suggest that M. rivas-martinezii and M. faya are two morphs of the same species, so molecular markers were used to estimate the levels and structuring of genetic variation within and among natural populations in order to eval...
