DOI: 10.1590/S1679-45082014AI2901 A 33-year-old woman who works as a yoga teacher and lived in the city of Rio de Janeiro (RJ) Brazil, sought ophthalmologic care at a routine examination. She did not report comorbidities and previous or regular use of medicines of any type. At examination the patient had good corrected visual acuity of 20/20 in both eyes. Biomicroscopy showed bilateral corneal ...

Methanolic extracts of eight Salvia species, namely S. aethiopis, S. candidissima, S. limbata, S. microstegia, S. nemorosa, S. pachystachys, S. verticillata, and S. virgata, sampled from Eastern Anatolia in Turkey, were screened for their possible antioxidant activities by two complementary test systems, namely DPPH free radical scavenging and beta-carotene/linoleic acid. Total phenolic content...

?-amylase inhibitory activities of ethanol extracts from six selected iranian salvia species (s. hydrangea dc., s. hypoleuca benth., s. officinalis l., s. reuterana boiss., s. verticillata l. and s. virgata jacq.) were examined, using in vitro model. in addition, antioxidant capacities (dpph• radical scavenging) and total flavonoid cotents of the extracts were also determined. the results showe...

C. Franche1,*, D. Diouf1, Q.V. Le1, D. Bogusz1, A. This capacity for rapid growth comes from a symbiotic association with an actinomycete of the genus Frankia, N’Diaye1, H. Gherbi1, C. Gobé1 and E. Duhoux1,2 1Physiologie Cellulaire et Moléculaire des Arbres which allows A. verticillata to fix dinitrogen in root nodules, so-called actinorhizae (Benson and Silvester, 1993).

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The distinction between pearl bodies (or pearl glands) and food bodies (FBs) is not clear; neither is our understanding of what these structures really represent. The present work examined the ontogenesis, structure, ultrastructure and histochemical aspects of the protuberances in Cissus verticillata, which have been described since the beginning of the 19th century as pearl...

The Kangaroo Island glossy black-cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus lathami halmaturinus) is an endangered subspecies that feeds almost entirely on the kernels of drooping sheoak (Allocasuarina verticillata). Hence, it highly susceptible to changes in quantity or quality A. verticillata. Fire has potential severely impact feeding habitat island, but since verticillata serotinous, partially reliant fire ...

Here we present LM and SEM data of pollen extant Sciadopitys verticillata, fossil Cerebropollenites from Aptian/Albian strata (Austria, Mongolia) Sciadopityspollenites Campanian/Maastrichtian Oligocene/Miocene (Siberia, Germany). Measurements image comparisons show that the investigated taxa range somewhat comparable to very similar a previous affiliation with Tsuga cannot be corroborated. Addi...
