BACKGROUND AND AIMS Ibicella lutea and Proboscidea parviflora are two American semi-desert species of glandular sticky plants that are suspected of carnivory as they can catch small insects. The same characteristics might also hold for two semi-desert plants with glandular sticky leaves from Israel, namely Cleome droserifolia and Hyoscyamus desertorum. The presence of proteases on foliar hairs,...

We herein report a case of hair follicle nevus, a rare hamartoma found on the face and showing follicular differentiation, which was associated with sebaceous hyperplasia. Dermoscopy of the lesion showed yellow globules surrounded by crown vessels/telangiectasias and scattered tiny hairs. Histopathological investigation revealed hyperplasia of the sebaceous glands and proliferation of well-diff...

The current research dealt with a comparative taxonomic study of the two types Chenopodium album L. and Chenopodiastrum murale at Baghdad , This was included cytological by calculating chromosome number sequence n=27,9. studying micro-morphological characteristics seeds fruits types, in addition to surface covering leaf part. All phenotypic were studied scanning electron microscope (SEM) Light ...

Hypodematium shandongense is closely related to jianxiuii X. J. Li. Results of LM and SEM studies showed that there were significant differences between the two species. Plant height 22-30 cm, laminae ovate-triangular, pinnae are arranged, fronds, rachis, costae indusia characterized by sparsely long acicular rod-shaped glandular hairs, perispore semi-annular folds; but plant H. 60-70 ovate-pen...

The paper presents the peculiarities of morphological-anatomical structure organs, which are diagnostic traits herbal raw materials (HRM) commonest species Thymus L. genus in moderate climatic zone. We determined that studied develop a subshrub life form, grows monopodially Th. pulegioides and marschallianus, sympodially with mono-, di- polycyclic types monocarpic shoots serpyllum. Inflorescenc...

Larvae of the European cabbage butterfly, Pieris rapae (Pieridae), are beset with glandular hairs, bearing droplets of a clear oily secretion at their tip. The fluid consists primarily of a series of chemically labile, unsaturated lipids, the mayolenes, which are derived from 11-hydroxylinolenic acid. In bioassays with the ant Crematogaster lineolata, the secretion was shown to be potently dete...
