Many aquatic species have restricted dispersal capabilities, making them the most vulnerable organisms to climate change and land use patterns. These factors deplete Nymphaea species’ suitable habitats, threatening their populations survival. In addition, are poorly documented, which may indicate how scarce they or will become. Members of ecologically important as well having cultural economic ...

Abstract This study presents a method for three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of forest tree species that are, instance, required simulations 3D canopies in radiative transfer modelling. We selected three different architecture: Norway spruce (Picea abies) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica), representatives production forests, white peppermint (Eucalyptus pulchella), common Tasmania. Each h...

The fast developing international trade of products based on traditional knowledge and their value chains has become an important aspect of the ethnopharmacological debate. The structure and diversity of value chains and their impact on the phytochemical composition of herbal medicinal products, as well as the underlying government policies and regulations, have been overlooked in the debate ab...

Restriction site maps of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA), maternally inherited in Clarkia, were obtained in representative species of all seven diploid sections, the allotetraploid sect. Clarkia, and the outgroup Epilobium brachycarpum. CpDNA restriction site variation was analyzed by Wagner and Dollo parsimony, bootstrapping, and genetic distance methods. Four shortest Wagner trees, one of which was a...

A green study was undertaken for the extraction of plumbagin, an important natural naphthoquinone, from roots Plumbago pulchella Boiss. In first stage, four solvents were comparatively evaluated, acetone, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol; attending Principle #5, only (ethyl acetate acetone) underscored. a second step, considering # 6, various alternative activating modes assessed: two elec...
