This article presents a prototype of an application for the analysis of cDNA/gene expression data and contribution for genome annotation from macroarrays. The application described here allows the quantification of a set of experiments with macroarrays of the same size. It generates html reports, easily shared, showing the expression of genes contained in each membrane and a global report compa...

Some medicinal plants from Papua have been used traditionally as hyperuricemia and antioxidant agents for many ethnic in Islands. The present study aims to evaluate inhibitory xanthine oxidase, antioxidative activities, total phenolic, flavonoid of five selected plants, Myrmecodia beccarii , Villebrunea rubescens Breynia cernua Bridelia spp. Dodonaea viscosa . Preliminary phytochemical screenin...

BACKGROUND The use of medicinal plants has been reported throughout human history. In the fight against illnesses, medicinal plants represent the primary health care system for 60 % of the world's population. Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds with active anti-microbial properties; they are produced in plants as pigments. Quercetin, myricetin, and rutin are among the most well-known and prev...

Cores of Pinus tabulaformis from Tianshui were subjected to densitometric analysis to obtain mean earlywood density data. Climate response analysis indicates that May-June maximum temperature is the main factor limiting the mean earlywood density (EWD) of Chinese pine trees in the Shimen Mountains. Based on the EWD chronology, we have reconstructed May-June maximum temperature 1666 to 2008 for ...
