AIM: The present study aims to investigate for the first time antitumor and antibacterial activities of Viscum album L. grown on different host trees. METHODS: Two different bioassays (antitumor and antibacterial) were performed to evaluate the biological activities of European mistletoe (Viscum album L.) plants collected from 13 different host trees (Crataegus tanacetifolia, Crataegus monogyna...

The distribution and population sizes of Sorbus cambrensis (Welsh Whitebeam) S. stenophylla (Llanthony (Rosaceae) are revised based on field surveys. About 224 trees occur in eight populations/subpopulations (including the Llanthony Valley), about 96 five populations/subpopulations. Morphological analysis leaves confirmed two species were different showed some variation within each species.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Various correlations have been identified between anatomical features of bordered pits in angiosperm xylem and vulnerability to cavitation, suggesting that the mechanical behaviour of the pits may play a role. Theoretical modelling of the membrane behaviour has been undertaken, but it requires input of parameters at the nanoscale level. However, to date, no experimental data...
