ficus benjamina commonly known as the weeping fig or benjamin's fig, is a species of moraceae, native to south and southeast asia and australia. it is a topiary tree reaching 15 metres in height in natural conditions. ficus benjamina is planted as a potted plant and as an ornamental shrub in gardens in mazandaran and elsewhere in the country. stem and crown gall symptoms were observed on f...

It is well known that occupational exposure to pollens of flowering ornamental plants may elicit rhinoconjunctivitis, asthma, and contact urticaria (1). However, it was not until the 1980s that a foliage decorative plant, weeping fig (Ficus benjamina), was recognized as an important cause of occupational immediate mucosal and skin reactions, and, to a lesser degree, of similar symptoms in atopi...

This experiment was designed to characterize the effects of size and concentration of an Iranian clinoptilolite zeolite on the growth ofFicus benjamina (starlight) in peat base media. Ficus benjamina was stock rooted and grown in a peat consisting perlite (2: 1 v/v) (P: Pe), zeolite (10, 20, 30 and 40 v/v %, two sizes 0.5-3 mm and 3-8 mm) instead of peat in P: Pe (2: 1 v/v) media. Ficus benjami...

Although the genus Sycophila has broad host preferences, some species are specifically associated with figs as nonpollinator wasps. Because of their sexual dimorphism, morphological plasticity, cryptic mating behaviour and poorly known biology, species identifications are often uncertain. It is particularly difficult to match conspecific females and males. In this study, we employed two molecul...

The study aimed to evaluate the in vitro effects of some fractions of ethanolic extract of F. septica Burm. f. on Balb/c mice macrophage phagocytosis and lymphocyte proliferation. In addition, we also determined the total flavonoid and phenolic contents in the fractions. These fractions were n-hexane soluble fraction, ethyl acetate soluble fraction and ethyl acetate insoluble fraction. These fr...

This paper is devoted to analyzing a unique continuation problem for the linearized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equation with space-dependent potentials in a bounded interval with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The underlying Cauchy problem is a characteristic one. We prove two unique continuation results by means of spectral analysis and the (generalized) eigenvector expansion of the solution, instea...
