Several antibiotic compounds have been isolated from green plants. Those which have been structurally identified, are citrinin (l-4), dicumarol (5-7), and protoanemonin (8, 9). Other less well defined factors are an oil from AZZium sativum (lo-12), a colorless crystalline compound from Arci&rz minus (13), Products A and B from Asarum cunadense (14), cassic acid from the leaves of Custiu reticdu...

A cross-sectional study was conducted from November, 2016 to April, 2017 to estimate the prevalence of lungworm infection and its associated risk factors, and to identify predominant species of lungworms in small ruminants in and around Mekelle town, Tigray, northern Ethiopia. In this study both coproscopic examination and Berman techniques were employed on a total of 384 fecal samples of small...

Bentgrass species are widely utilized on golf course fairways in cool climatic regions. Among the 200 species of bentgrass that exist, creeping (A. stolonifera), colonial (A. capillaris), and velvet (A. canina) bentgrasses have received the greatest breeding improvements and are the most widely utilized Agrostis species for turf. Each bentgrass species retains particular qualities relating to d...

OBJECTIVE To make an useful identification method for the molecule of DNA on 3 herbs of Artemisia genus and compare the differences of the genes of Korean and Chinese species of Artemisia. METHODS Sequence of 3 herbs (Artemisia sacrorum Ledeb., Artemisia iwayomogi Kitam. and Artemisia capillaris Thunb.) was determined by PCR sequence system. DNA was extracted from rDNA/ITS (internal transcrib...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY The locally rare, haploid, lichen-forming fungi Bryoria capillaris, B. fuscescens, and B. implexa are associated with boreal forests and belong to Bryoria sect. Implexae. Recent phylogenetic studies consider them to be conspecific. Microsatellite loci were developed to study population structure in Bryoria sect. Implexae and its response to ecosystem disturban...

There is a continual need to develop novel and effective melanogenesis inhibitors for the prevention of hyperpigmentation disorders. The plant Artemisia capillaris Thunberg (Oriental Wormwood) was screened for antipigmentation activity using murine cultured cells (B16-F10 malignant melanocytes). Activity-based fractionation using HPLC and NMR analyses identified the compound 4,5-O-dicaffeoylqui...

To better understand how warming, increased precipitation and their interactions influence community structure and composition, a field experiment simulating hydrothermal interactions was conducted at an annual forb dominated desert steppe in northern China over 2 years. Increased precipitation increased species richness while warming significantly decreased species richness, and their effects ...
