During a survey of methylotrophic yeasts in natural habitats in Hungary, the yeast community associated with the exudates of white poplar (Populus alba) was found to be unique among the tree exudates hitherto investigated. Nineteen methanol-assimilating yeast strains representing an undescribed ascomycetous species were isolated from tree exudates of P. alba collected at different locations in ...

The present work evaluated the chemical composition and the DNA protective effect of the essential oils (EOs) from Lippia alba against bleomycin-induced genotoxicity. EO constituents were determined by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometric (GC-MS) analysis. The major compounds encountered being citral (33% geranial and 25% neral), geraniol (7%) and trans-β-caryophyllene (7%) for L. alba specime...

Lippia alba is a plant that has antifungal activity against Aspergillus, Penicillium and Trichoderma genera as well as against human pathogenic microorganisms; however, there are no records on its effect on basidiomycetes which are responsible for white rot of wood. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antifungal activity of L. alba for the control of the white-rot fungus Pleurotus o...

Leaves and roots are used as hepatic tonic rejuvenates hair, cirrhosis, ear aches, hepatitis, headache and enlarged spleen. Studies on the hepatoprotective activity on methanolic extract and sub fractions of leaves and the chloroform extract and sub fractions of roots of Eclipta alba was carried out using carbon tetrachlorideinduced liver damage and Lysosomal enzymes level in wistar albino rats...

The sex-limited "alba" genetic polymorphism in wing color of Colias butterflies has been studied with respect to potential selective pressures on this locus. Alba female pupae, carrying at least one dominant A allele, redirect resources, used by aa pupae for pigmentation, to other metabolic ends. Associated with this reallocation, alba, A-, female adults eclose earlier, retain more larva-derive...

an effort carried out to find out the smaller size of cuttings for propagation ofmorus alba in experimental area, department of forestry, range management and wildlife, university of agriculture, faisalabad, 2005. different size of cuttings i.e.5 cm, 10 cm, 15 cm and 20 cm were planted in polythene tubes of 9 cm x 18 cm. the attempt was also made to compare the performance of cuttings outdoor a...
