PREMISE OF THE STUDY Pseudotaxus chienii (Taxaceae) is an old rare species endemic to China that has adapted well to ecological heterogeneity with high genetic diversity in its nuclear genome. However, the genetic variation in its chloroplast genome is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Eighteen chloroplast microsatellite markers (cpSSRs) were developed from the whole chloroplast genome of Taxus ch...

Three lignan derivatives, (-)-taxiresinol (1), (-)-3'-demethylisolariciresinol-9'-hydroxyisopropylether (2) and (-)-3-demethylisolariciresinol (3), previously isolated from the heart-wood of Taxus baccata L. (Taxaceae) were investigated for cytotoxicity against the Oncology Cell Line Panel (breast, colon, ovary, prostate, lung and a normal adult bovine aortic endothelial cell line) as well as f...

This study was conducted for determining the plant taxa of pollen grain in atmosphere city center Sinop (Turkey) and investigating effects meteorological factors on concentration, by analyzing daily, weekly monthly changes atmosphere. The types amounts were determined using Burkard trap. On basis average 2 years (2016 - 2017), dominant trees Cupressaceae/Taxaceae (32.67%), Pinaceae (15.51%), Mo...
