Stampfli A. 1992. Effects of mowing and removing litter on reproductive shoot modules of some plant species in abandoned meadows on Monte San Giorgio. Bot. Helv. 102: 85-92. Reproductive shoot modules have been counted in a permanent plot experiment on Monte San Giorgio (Southern Switzerland) since 1988. The 8 species presented here, including the dominant grass (Molinia arundinacea) and seven ...

Based on increased demands of strict vegetarians, an investigation of vitamin B12 content in plant sources, was carried out. The vitamin B12 concentration was determined by RP-HPLC with UV detection, after prior matrix isolation by immunoaffinity chromatography (IAC). Vitamin B12 was extracted in the presence of sodium cyanide, to transform all forms of cobalamin into cyanocobalamin. Diode arra...

The title compound, C(16)H(24)O(3), was synthesized from ilicic acid, which was isolated from the aerial part of Inula viscosa- (L) Aiton [or Dittrichia viscosa- (L) Greuter]. The asymmetric unit contains two independent mol-ecules, in each of which the seven-membered ring shows a chair conformation, whereas the five-membered ring presents disorder. In the two molecules, three C atoms in the fi...

This research aims to characterize and analysis of newly cellulosic fiber extracted from Inula viscosa bark. The obtained fibers were also characterized after having been treated with alkali permanganate treatments. effect chemical treatments on the mechanical, physical, thermal properties was investigated by using, X-ray diffraction, thermo gravimetric, scanning electron microscope analysis, o...

Inula cappa is well known for its medicinal properties like anti-inflammatory, digestive, depurative, carminative, analgesics, antipyretics, treatment of peptic ulcer etc. The present study focuses on the ability of I. cappa to alleviate liver damage caused by over carbon tetrachloride. The aqueous extract of whole plant of I. cappa (400 mg/kg, p.o) significantly showed hepatoprotective activit...
