Energy crops are dedicated cultures directed for biofuels, electricity, and heat production. Due to their tolerance contaminated lands, they can alleviate remediate land pollution by the disposal of toxic elements polymetallic agents. Moreover, these suitable be exploited in marginal soils (e.g., saline), and, therefore, risk land-use conflicts due competition food, feed, fuel is reduced, contr...

1 ALBA-R: LoadBalancing Geographic Routing Around Connectivity Holes in Wireless Sensor Networks This paper presents ALBA-R, a protocol for convergecasting in wireless sensor networks. ALBA-R features the cross-layer integration of geographic routing with contention-based MAC for relay selection and load balancing (ALBA) as well as a mechanism to detect and route around connectivity holes (Rain...

Jaundice is the commonest ailments affecting the citizens of both developed and poor Asians countries including Iran. An ethnobotanical survey of plants used by the traditional healers for the treatment of jaundice was conducted in the Mashhad city, Northeastern Iran. A total of 37 plants belonging to 32 genera and 26 families have been documented for their therapeutic use against jaundice. The...

4-Coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL) genes are critical for the biosynthesis of plant phenylpropanoids. Here we identified 20 4CL genes in the genomes of two desert poplars (Populus euphratica and P. pruinosa) and salt-sensitive congener (P. trichocarpa), but 12 in Salix suchowensis (Salix willow). Phylogenetic analyses clustered all Salicaceae 4CL genes into two clades, and one of them (corresponding ...

Oxidative stress and Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation-induced skin damage, is involved in numerous diseases. Eclipta alba which belongs to Asteraceae family is used traditionally in Ayurvedic system of medicine in India for the treatment of liver diseases. Our study shows that water extract of E. alba has a potent effect in scavenging 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), chelating ferrous ion, an...

MIzuo MIzuNo*, MAsAyA KATo, MuNEKAzu IINuMA, TosHIyuKI TANAKA, ' ARIKA KIMuRA, HIRoyosHI OHAsHI, HIDEKI SAKAi Besides apigenin and luteolin 7-glucoside, four novel glucosides acylated with acetic, trans-cinnamic, P-coumaric and ferulic acids, respectively were isolated from the leaves of Salix gitgiana (Salicace...

The city longhorn beetle (Aeolesthes sarta) (CLB) (Coleoptera – Cerambycidae) is a polyphagous invasive pest of both healthy and suppressed broadleaved trees in central Asia. CLB causes great degree damage the countries its origin. To understand this better way, detailed review study has been conducted to gather all valuable information related CLB. This covers main aspects CLB, morphology, eco...

Canopy-forming shrubs are reported to be increasing at sites around the circumpolar Arctic. Our results indicate expansion in canopy cover and height of willows on Herschel Island located at 70 degrees north on the western Arctic coast of the Yukon Territory. We examined historic photographs, repeated vegetation surveys, and conducted monitoring of long-term plots and found evidence of increase...
