The appearance of antifungal resistance promotes the investigation therapeutic options. There are few studies on combined effect drugs and essential oils (EOs). In present work, regarding association eight EOs Andean plants with agents against a panel fungi strains. Combinatorial effects were determined using Fractional Inhibitory Concentration Index (FICI) Dose Reduction (DRI). A combination A...

Native plant species that have lost their mutualist partners may require non-native pollinators or seed dispersers to maintain reproduction. When natives are highly specialized, however, it appears doubtful that introduced generalists will partner effectively with them. We used visitation observations and pollination treatments (experimental manipulations of pollen transfer) to examine relation...

Evidence is presented that the specificity of jacalin, the seed lectin from jack fruit (Artocarpus integrifolia), is not directed exclusively against the T-antigen disaccharide Galbeta1,3GalNAc, lactose and galactose, but also against mannose and oligomannosides. Biochemical analyses based on surface-plasmon-resonance measurements, combined with the X-ray-crystallographic determination of the s...
