Cupressaceae pollen is responsible for winter respiratory allergies in the Mediterranean area. Pollen grains of this diverse family share same characteristics under light microscopy. Consequently, partial contribution each species to airborne spectrum cannot be determined with conventional aerobiological methods. Studies on major aeroallergens offer better information allergic sensitization and...

In flammability assessment, the terpene effect is usually studied using their total or subgroup content, missing, therefore, information that could be provided by molecules themselves. this study, specific role of terpenes on leaf was sought comparing different levels identification—total, (i.e. mono-, sesqui-, and diterpene), single compound—as well as interactions with fuel moisture content (...

Five Hesperocyparis (Cupressus) abramsiana groves were analyzed by Inter-Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSRs). ISSRs analyses revealed geographical differentiation among the groves (= Silba's subspecies) with the Butano Ridge grove being the most distinct in both ISSRs and terpenoids. Combined ISSR and terpenoid data support the recognition of Hesperocyparis. abramsiana var. abramsiana and Hesperocy...

Abstract A significant amount of apiaries is destroyed in most areas Iraq by attacking the hornet Vespa orientalis Linnaeus, 1771, as well deterioration European honey bees’ Apis mellifera 1758 productivity recently because environmental changes and pollutions; this effect was evident economy plant production, bees popular species pollinator crops globally. There no effective environmentally sa...

The aim of the present study was to investigate CNS depressant activity of methanolic extract of Gelsemium sempervirens roots. G. sempervirens Ait (Loganiaceae) is used traditionally in the treatment of migraine, neuralgia, rheumatism, restlessness, mental irritability, insomnia and ovarian and uterine pain. The plant was found to contain alkaloids gelsemine, gelseminine, gelsemoidine and gelse...

A new species of conifer was recently discovered in northern Vietnam. In a preliminary phylogenetic analysis of morphological data a possible sister species, Chamaecyparis nootkatensis (D. Don) Spach, was identified; however, because of the presumed phylogenetic remoteness of these two species to the remainder of the Cupressaceae, a new genus-Xanthocyparis-was described to accommodate both spec...
