Background: Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori. is a small tree, which grows in south east of Iran. The shoot and root of M. peregrina contain volatile oil which has several isothiocyanates. Objective: To study the effect of salinity on volatile constituents of root and shoot of M. peregrina. Methods: The experiment was conducted on randomized complete blocks design (RCBD) with 8 treatments...

We investigated the nitrogen pools in monocultures of legume species widely used reforestation Brazil that have contrasting growth and acquisition strategies. The plantations were established with slow-growing N2-fixing tree Anadenanthera peregrina var. peregrina, fast-growing non-fixing Schizolobium parahyba amazonicum. measurements N biomass soil followed standard methods carried out on 54 ex...

Muitas narrativas bíblicas, clericais e poéticas da Idade Média falam das coisas espirituais por meio de sua semelhança analógica com as terrenas corporais, analogias que se revelam como um grande esforço medieval fixar, na alma, a crença salvação complexa rede virtudes vícios terrenos, interagindo, assim, seus espaços imaginários recompensas punições. Para melhor compreender representação dos ...

Aguado & Marin (2007) analysed the interaction between Cratena peregrina (Gmelin, 1791) and predatory fish in laboratory and field assays, using both live aeolids and artificial models. Penney’s comment (2009) on the article reopens the old question of the role of nematocyst-based defence in nudibranchs. Penney suggests that the defensive mechanism of C. peregrina is chemical because the nemato...

background: as moringa peregrina is a valuable medicinal plant in traditional medicine, it is necessary to determine responses of this plant to salinity.  objective: to determine some biochemical and growth responses of moringa peregrina to salinity at the seedling stage. methods: this experiment was conducted in institute of medicinal plants-acecr, on base of factorial experiment as completely...

Schistosomiasis remains a major parasitic disease, endemic in large parts of South America. Five neotropical species of Biomphalaria have been found to act as intermediate hosts of Schistosoma mansoni in natural populations, while others have been shown to be susceptible in experimental infections, although not found infected in the field. Among these potential intermediate hosts, Biomphalaria ...

Pricking the body wall of Sarcophaga peregrina (flesh fly) larvae with a needle activated the immune system of this insect and induced various immune molecules, including antibacterial proteins, in the hemolymph. In this review, I summarize and discuss the functions of these immune molecules, with particular emphasis on the dual roles of some of these molecules in defense and development.
