As one of a dozen monotypic genera in the family Lauraceae, systematic position Dodecadenia Nees remains controversial. Here, two complete plastomes grandiflora were sequenced. The plastid genomes, with length 152,659 bp and 152,773 bp, had similar quadripartite structure. Both consisted large single-copy (LSC) region 93,740 93,791 small (SSC) 18,805 18,846 pair inverted repeats (IR) regions 20...

Oleander is very frequently planted as an ornamental shrub in urban areas of the Mediterranean. Its most common pest aphid Aphis nerii, and heavy infestations produce aesthetic damage disturbances to citizens, they are sprayed with insecticides order reduce population density. One alternative method conservation biological control which enhanced by provisioning food, refuges, reproduction sites...

In this paper we will put forward our view on the computational modeling of music cognition with respect to the issues addressed in the Music Performance Panel held during the MOSART 2001 workshop. We will focus on issues that can be considered crucial in the development of our understanding of human performance and perception in its application to computer music systems. Furthermore, they were...

Four new monoterpenoid glycosides 1-4, named magnoliaterpenoid A-D, were isolated from a 50% aqueous acetone extract of flower buds of Magnolia biondii, along with one known compound, (1'R,3'S,5'R,8'S,2Z,4E)-dihydrophaseic acid 3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (5). Their structures and relative configuration were identified by extensive spectroscopic analysis (IR, UV, MS, 1D and 2D NMR). The aglycones o...

A busca por produtos naturais que possam substituir preservantes da madeira sintéticos é crescente. Dentre estes produtos, estão os óleos essenciais (OEs). Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a atividade antifúngica dos OEs de Blepharocalyx salicifolius, Nectandra grandiflora, megapotamica e Piper gaudichaudianum, sobre fungos apodrecedores Trametes versicolor Gloeophyllum trabeum. Os...
