Tubular and fibrillar forms of P protein (slime) have been reported in sieve elements of a wide range of higher vascular plants . However, all P protein components encountered in previous investigations have been extranuclear in their occurrence . At this time we are reporting on the presence of tubular and fibrillar forms of P protein in both nucleus and cytoplasm of differentiating sieve elem...

The objectives of this study were to examine the foliar sensitivity to ozone exposure of 12 tree, shrub, and herbaceous species native to southern Switzerland and determine the seasonal cumulative ozone exposures required to induce visible foliar injury. The study was conducted from the beginning of May through the end of August during 2000 and 2001 using an open-top chamber research facility l...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS In Tilia amurensis, two types of trichomes (hairy and glandular) develop from epidermal surfaces of cotyledons and hypocotyls of zygotic embryos soon after germination. Here, it is demonstrated that glandular trichome initials develop directly into somatic embryos when treated in vitro with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). METHODS Zygotic embryos of Tilia amurensis ...

Urban trees have gained in importance during recent decades, but little is known about the temporal dynamic of tree growth in urban areas. The present study investigated the allometric relationships of stem diameter, tree height, and crown radius for six different tree species in six metropolises worldwide. Increment cores of the trees were used for identifying the relationship of basal area an...

Background and objectives: Plants belonging to the genus Tilia L. (Tiliaceae) are often tall beautiful trees which are considered for various medicinal potentials of their flowers and leaves. The present study was an attempt to investigate the phytochemical constituents of Tilia rubra subsp. caucasica leaves from the hyrcanian forests of north of Iran. Methods: Chromatography on Silica gel (nor...

Two different types of condensed tannins (CTs), which were extracted and purified from tilia (Tilia L.) black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), studied tested against two kinds bacteria, including Gram-negative Gram-positive, avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) respectively, by minimal bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Bo...

the effects of tilia plathphyllos scop. in a nervous disorder, including seizure was reported in traditional literatures. in the present investigation, the effects of methanolic extract of t. plathyphyllos on seizure induced by picrotoxin and pentylentetrazole were studied in mice. in this experimental study, groups of 5 animals pretreated with doses of 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg of methanolic extr...
