Eucalyptus globulus is widely planted in temperate regions to produce pulp for its high performance but few studies of the impact of Mycosphaerella Leaf Disease (MLD) have been documented. This study aimed to explore and provide knowledge on disease in the management of young Eucalyptus globulus stands in the north of Spain. The influences of subspecies, cloning, and fertilization on the degree...

Background Eucalyptus globulus is the most planted hardwood species for pulpwood in temperate regions. Genomic researches in Eucalyptus have increased the information available in DNA sequences public databases and several structural and regulatory genes involved in the cellulose and lignin pathways are known. Functional genetic markers, while frequent in crop, are still scarce in forest specie...

Medicinal plant consumption can be a source of human exposure to radioactive elements such as (238)U and (232)Th, which can lead to internal radiation doses. The uptake of (238)U and (232)Th from soils to the leaf samples of three different medicinal plant species (Eucalyptus globulus, Acacia mearnsii and Hyparrhenia filipendula) from the purlieu of the Princess gold mine dump, an abandoned con...

BACKGROUND Burns are known as one of the most common and destructive forms of injury with a vast spectrum of consequences. Despite the discovery of various antibacterial and antiseptic agents, burn wound healing still has remained a challenge to modern medicine. Plants, with a valuable traditional support, have been considered as potential agents for prevention and treatment of disorders in rec...

The present paper reports a new application: the voltammetric determination in herbal medicines of ultra-trace thallium(I), presence lead(II), tin(II) and antimony(III) as interfering metals, by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV). A conventional three-electrodes cell was employed with stationary hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) working platinum an Ag|AgCl|KClsatd. auxiliary r...

Pregnane and Xenobiotic Receptor (PXR), a vital xenosensor, acts as master regulator of phase-I (cytochrome P450) and phase-II enzymes (glutathione S-transferases, sulfotransferases, and uridine 5’-diphosphate glucuronosyltransferases) as well as several drug transporters (multi-drug resistance protein, and multidrug resistance-associated protein). PXR can bind to a variety of chemically distin...

Malva dendromorpha, European tree mallow, has not previously been described as a serious environmental weed. Over the last two to three decades tree mallow has invaded seabird nesting islands off the West Australian coast, growing in dense clumps to 3m tall and outcompeting native perennial species including Malva australiana, the Australian native hollyhock. As a result of excessive growth of ...

Dermatitis neglecta (DN) is a condition that arises secondary to inadequate cleansing and self-neglect leading the accumulation of epidermal debris, corneocytes sebum. Rarely reported, it often diagnostically challenging can mimic other pathologies. It typically in cases chronic disability or psychiatric illness. We present case 72-year-old lady with extensive hyperkeratotic plaques vulva. Init...

We quantified biomass and nutrient accumulation of Acacia dealbata Link and Eucalyptus globulus Labill. planted at stem densities of 5000 and 15000 ha 1 in a bioenergy plantation in Chile. We tested the hypotheses that species and stocking will not affect biomass or nutrient accumulation. Species and stocking did not affect biomass accumulation after five years; however, species and stocking di...
