Methanolic extracts of leaves of Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Terminalia catappa were studied for in vitro microbial activities by agar dilution method. The phytochemical analysis of the crude extracts of the medicinal plants revealed the presence of saponin, saponin glycosides, steroid, cardiac glycoside, tannins, volatile oils, phenols and balsam (gum). The methanolic extracts of the two plan...

the aim of this study was to investigate the allelopathic effects of eucalyptus camaldulensis on germination and early seedling growth of festuca arundinacea under laboratory condition in order to determine the effect of pretreatments on decreasing the destructive effects of allelopathic compounds. the chemical stimulators used in this study included 3 levels of gibberellic acid, 3 levels of sa...

Soil pollution by trace elements (TEs) from mining and industrial activity is widespread and presents a risk to humans and ecosystems. The use of trees to immobilize TEs (phytostabilization) is a low-cost and effective method of soil remediation. We aimed to determine the chemical composition of leaves and flower buds of Eucalyptus camaldulensis in seven sites along the Guadiamar River valley (...

Eucalyptus species synthesize a wealth of polyketide natural products, but no relevant biosynthetic enzyme has been identified. Degenerate primers designed from conserved regions of fourteen chalcone synthase superfamily enzymes were used to isolate gene fragments from at least five different Type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) in E. camaldulensis and E. robusta.

We examined the effects of polyphenols on the analysis of lignin by histochemical methods, namely, the Mäule color reaction coupled with microspectrophotometry and ultraviolet microspectrophotometry, in wood of Eucalyptus camaldulensis and E. globulus. Thin sections and wood meals were extracted with solutions of alkali at different concentrations. The amounts of alkali-soluble extractives incr...

herbs have been used for its medicinal properties from several thousand years ago. herbs, essences and extracts, possess a variety level of biological activities and antimicrobial activities of a large number of them have been proved. eucalyptus is one of these plants which the anti-virus effects of its extract has long been used to treat influenza and colds in most parts of the world. the aim ...

background the increased incidence of fungal resistance has necessitated the need to search for new antifungal agents. objective the main objectives of the present study were to investigate the effectiveness of the essential oil of eucalyptus camaldulensis on dermatophytes growth and to formulate and characterize a liposomal gel loaded with the essential oil. materials and methods the essential...

Background The wide adaptability, fast growth rate, good form, excellent wood and fiber properties make Eucalyptus the most widely planted genus of plantation forest trees. With the availability of Eucalyptus genome sequence information, assignment of function to genes contributing to desired traits require functional validation via overexpression or silencing in the context of the plant enviro...
