BACKGROUND AND AIMS Variation in inbreeding depression (δ) among individual plants is considered to play a central role in mating system evolution and population genetics. Moreover, such variation could be linked to individual susceptibility to pollen limitation (PL) because those individuals strongly affected by δ for seed production will require more outcross pollen for setting a given number...

Urban forestry is an important green infrastructure strategy because healthy trees can intercept rainfall, reducing stormwater runoff and pollutant loading. Surface saturation storage capacity, defined as the thin film of water that must wet tree surfaces before flow begins, is the most important variable influencing rainfall interception processes. Surface storage capacity is known to vary wid...

The anti-inflammatory potential of hydrophilic polyphenolic-rich extracts obtained from native Australian herbs: anise myrtle, lemon myrtle and Tasmannia pepper leaf, and a reference sample bay leaf, was evaluated using the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated murine macrophage RAW 264.7 model. Pretreatment with all herbal extracts at non-cytotoxic concentrations reduced the LPS-induced protein l...

Field and laboratory studies were conducted to identify potential resistance among crape myrtles, Lagerstroemia spp., to Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman and to flea beetles, Altica spp. Damage ratings revealed variation among cultivars in susceptibility to beetle feeding. Cultivars with Lagerstroemia fauriei Koehne in their parentage exhibited the least amount of damage in choice and ...

INTRODUCTION Wart is a contagious dermal disease with different types. Wart has long-term treatment with symptoms of multiple relapses, which involve larger surfaces. It has no definite medical treatment in traditional medicine and the provided treatments encounter restrictions and side effects especially in the facial warts. CASE PRESENTATION Iranian traditional medicine (ITM) has provided d...

Türkiye’de Akdeniz florasında yaygın olarak bulunan, tıbbi ve aromatik bir bitki olan Myrtus communis L. (Mersin) günümüzde çeşitli fitoterapötik uygulamalarda sıklıkla karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, bitkisinin meyvelerinden ekstraksiyon yöntemiyle elde edilen sabit yağların verimleri hesaplanmış kimyasal kompozisyonu gaz kromotografisi-kütle spektroskopisi (GC-MS) ile tespit edilmiştir. ...
