Analyses of individuals classically treated as Juniperus oxycedrus L. var. oxycedrus from Morocco, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Turkey, using DNA sequencing of nrDNA (ITS 1, 5.8S, ITS 2) plus RAPDs, leaf terpenoids and morphology revealed that two cryptic, genetically distinct but morphologically almost identical species are present. These species, J. oxycedrus L. var. oxycedrus a...

A hydrocarbon that is widespread in Juniperus foliage was isolated from Juniperus erectopatens (Cheng and L. K. Fu) R. P. Adams and identified as (E,E,E)-1,7-dimethylcyclodeca-1,4,7-triene (pregeijerene B). Geometry of the disubstituted double bond was determined by IR and NMR spectroscopy, while that of the trisubstituted double bonds was proven by comparison of the products of selective hydro...

Plants of Juniperus communis L. var. communis, J. c. var. depressa Pursh, J. c. var. jackii Rehdr, J. c. var. saxatilis Pall. were sampled and SNPs from nrDNA were examined. Based on these data and previous data, a new variety of J. communis is recognized: Juniperus communis var. charlottensis R. P. Adams, var. nov. It occurs in muskeg bogs on Queen Charlotte Island, British Columbia and in the...

A study was conducted on the aphid fauna of Pinus nigra Arnold. subsp. pallasiana (Lamb.) Holmboe., brutia Ten., Cedrus libani A. Rich., Abies cilicica (Antoine & Kotschy) Carrière (Pinaceae), Juniperus spp. (Cupressaceae), Quercus (Fagaceae) and Robinia pseudoacacia L. (Leguminosae) forests in Isparta Province between 2018 2020. Using systematic random sampling, 9,252 specimens 68 spec...

fruit and leaves of junipers are commonly used internally as tea and pounded fruits are eaten to lower blood glucose levels in anatolia. thus, we aimed to evaluate antidiabetic and antioxidant potential and the chemical profile of juniperus foetidissima willd. and j. sabina l. in this study. in-vitro antidiabetic activities of leaf and fruit extracts were examined by their inhibitory activity o...

The composition of the essential oil from ripe and unripe berries and leaves of Juniperus oxycedrus L. ssp. oxycedrus, Juniperus phoenicea ssp. turbinata and Juniperus communis ssp. communis was analyzed by GC-MS, and microbiological assays were carried out. Samples were collected in different localities (Sardinia, Italy) and hydro distilled. The yields ranged between 2.54% +/- 0.21 (v\w dried ...
