In response to predation pressure, some insects have developed spectacular plant mimicry strategies (homomorphy), involving important changes in their morphology. The fossil record of plant mimicry provides clues to the importance of predation pressure in the deep past. Surprisingly, to date, the oldest confirmed records of insect leaf mimicry are Mesozoic. Here we document a crucial step in th...

The Palearctic species of the genus Fidiobia are revised, seventeen new described ( F. bohemica sp. nov. ; brevialis communis gallica hirta insoonae lisenchiae longiclava nipponica platystasioides politoides pronotatoides roatai rugosifronsoides sashai tripotini vladlubomiri ), and eleven brevinotaula Veenakumari et al., 2018; filicornis Buhl, 2014; flaviabdominalis hispanica Popovici & 201...

A modern classification of pastures in Karakalpak Ustyurt has been developed, which combines 7 pasture types (Anabasis salsa, Salsola arbusculiformis-Anabasis Artemisia terrae-albae-Anabasis Haloxylon ammodendron, Tamarix hispida-T. elongata, Kalidium caspicum, Halocnemum strobilaceum), 2 classes (pastures stratal plains on gray-brown soils and drainless depressions solonchaks) 42 varieties, a ...

Three new sesquiterpene aryl esters and eight known compounds were isolated from the EtOH extract of the mycelium of Armillaria mellea. The structures of new compounds were established by analysis of their spectroscopic data. Some of the isolates showed cytotoxicity to a variety of cancer cell lines, including MCF-7, H460, HT-29, and CEM.

Tests in vitro conditions with ethanol extracts from the radix of Berberis vulgaris and flower twig Tamarix tetrandra prepared by method maceration were performed two economically important plant pathogens such as Monilia laxa Phytophthora capsici. The received results show that common barberry (Berberis vulgaris) are able to fully block growth mycelium at 0.5 % (m/v) concentration during entir...

Objective: In the present study, screening for some flavonoids (aglycone and glycoside) in tamarix aphylla by using thin layer chromatography high-performance liquid chromat-ography. Methods: The leaves of
 
 Tamarix.aphylla was extracted soxhlet with Ethylacetate then ethanol /water 90%. were detected Analyticl standards HPLC. Results:Three flavonoid aglycones ethylacetate (Kaempfero...

Aim : This study aimed to assess the anti-inflammatory activity and potential mechanisms of essential oil Tamarix aphylla (EOTA). Methods The oils were extracted from plant’s aerial parts using hydrodistillation analyzed through gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS). assessed for their effects well-established inflammation models, namely carrageenan-induced paw edema peritonitis. To eval...
