Background: Drugs can be used to eliminate pain by inhibiting the activity of conversing arachidonic acid into prostaglandin. The chemical compositions of coconut shell are cellulose, pentosan, lignin, solvent extraction, uronat anhydrous, nitrogen, and water. One active ingredient in coconut shell is phenyl propanoid (consisting in lignin structure) and guaicol. Phenyl propanoid and guaicol ar...

Callispa keram sp. n. infesting coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) in Kerala, India is described and illustrated. Livistona chinensis R.Br. and Syagrus romanzoffiana (Cham.) Glassman are reported as additional host plants.

AgNO3-impregnated prep-TLC purification of the wax extract of Cocos nucifera allowed the isolation and identification of skimmiwallinin as an additional skimmiwallinol derivative from the cuticular wax of coconut palms. Identification was based on the comparison of its spectroscopic data with those reported in the literature.

Origin and Geographic Distribution Oil palm is native to Africa and it is assumed that speciation took place in that continent. However since all related species classifi ed in the subfamily Cocoideae have a South American origin (except perhaps the coconut, Cocos nucifera), the archetypal ancestor may have been indigenous to the Americas. Oil palm occurs in palm groves throughout the tropical ...

This study evaluated the potentials of activated carbon prepared from coconut shell (CS) (Cocos nucifera), counter wood (CW) (Afzelia africana) and iron (III) sulphate coagulant (ISC) from...

Various research groups are investigating the production of oil in non-seed biomass such as leaves. Recently, high levels of oil accumulation have been achieved in plant biomass using a combination of biotechnological approaches which also resulted in significant changes to the fatty acid composition of the leaf oil. In this study, we were interested to determine whether medium-chain fatty acid...

High densities of palms are common in many tropical forests. In some cases, the dominance of palms has been associated with a depauperate understorey and high rates of native seedling mortality. A variety of different potential mechanisms has been suggested to explain the sustained palm dominance in the understorey and canopy of these forests. Working in a Cocos nucifera-dominated wet tropical ...

Question: Cocos nucifera, the coconut palm, has a pantropical distribution and reaches near monodominance in many atolls, low lying islands and coastal regions. This paper examines the ecological correlation between C. nucifera abundance and changes in forest structure, floristic diversity and forest soil characteristics. Location: Palmyra Atoll NWR (USA), Central Pacific Ocean. Methods: Plant ...
