El Desierto Sonorense presenta áreas con degradación de terrenos en los que su recuperación es lenta. Por ello clave recuperar degradados para obtener servicios ecosistemas. Con este objetivo se evaluaron árboles nativos Parkinsonia microphylla por cinco años, cuales fueron transplantados terreno árido degradado, protección contra la herbivoría, riego el primer año y microclima a partir ramas p...

Butanol and hexane leaves extracts of Parkinsonia aculeata L. (Fabaceae) were assessed for its antioxidant potential by in vitro methods. Phytochemical analysis and antioxidant activity of plant extracts were studied using different in vitro assays. UPLC analysis of extracts was carried out for the identification of chemical constituents. The total phenolic contents of the butanol and hexane le...

L-Dopa is the drug of choice in the treatment of Parkinson's disease but it has dose related adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, orthostatic hypotension, end of dose deterioration, on off phenomena and on chronic therapy motor complications synonymous to parkinsonism. Mucuna pruriens (M.P) commonly known as velvet beans or cowitch are used in case of spasms associated with Parkins onism. ...

As part of efforts to identify native herbivores of Mexican palo verde, Parkinsonia aculeata L. (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae), as potential biological control agents against this invasive weed in Australia, ten species of Tortricidae (Lepidoptera) were reared from Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Venezuela: Amorbia concavana (Zeller), Platynota rostrana (Walker), Platynota helianthes (Meyric...

Analyses of ephemeral granitic drainages of <5 km at South Mountain metamorphic core complex, central Arizona, reveal a previously undocumented process of bedrock strath formation in this setting. Granitic channel banks experience a higher degree of mineral decay than that of granitic channel floors. Electron microscope observations show that grussification along the granitic channel banks occu...

ABSTRACT Aspergillus spp. in section Flavi were frequently associated with desert tree legumes in uncultivated areas of the Sonoran Desert. Of 270 samples of debris and fruits of mesquite (Prosopis spp.), ironwood (Olneya tesota), acacia (Acacia spp.), and palo verde (Cercidium and Parkinsonia spp.), 87% were positive for A. flavus (S and L strains) and A. tamarii. A. flavus was the most common...
