Eucalyptus is the most economically important hardwood plantation tree cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries. Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers were used to evaluate genetic relationships within and between individuals of six Eucalyptus species. A total of 583 loci (265 to 1535 bp) were amplified from 149 individuals belonging to the six Eucalyptus species using seven ISSR ...

Corymbia citriodora and Cymbopogon nardus essential oils samples were analyzed by GC and GC-MS and their qualitative and quantitative compositions established. The main component of essential oils of C. citriodora and C. nardus was citronellal, at 61.78% and 36.6%, respectively. The essential oils and citronellal were tested for their fumigant antifungal activity against Pyricularia (Magnaporth...

Traditional medicine and ecological cues can both help to reveal bioactive natural compounds. Indigenous Australians have long used kino from trunks of the eucalypt tree, Corymbia citriodora, in traditional medicine. A closely related eucalypt, C. torelliana, produces a fruit resin with antimicrobial properties that is highly attractive to stingless bees. We tested the antimicrobial activity of...

OBJECTIVES We examined the protective effects of ethanolic extract of Lippia citriodora (L. citriodora) on rats subjected to chronic constriction injury (CCI) of sciatic nerve and possible mechanisms of actions. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, the extract was administered 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg, Intraperitoneally (I.P) from the surgery time for 14 consecutive days. The change...

The aim of the study was to characterize the chemical composition and biological properties of the essential oil from the plant Lippia citriodora grown in Greece. The essential oil volatiles were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry GC-MS indicating citral as the major component. Τhe antimicrobial properties were assayed using the disk diffusion method and the minimum inhibitory and...

The original version of this note was based on two talks given by Efren Ruiz at the Toronto Set Theory seminar in November 2005. This very tentative note and my Luminy talk form an attempt to record the ideas from these talks and draw more attention of set theorists to Naimark’s problem (Problem 5.1 below). An excellent invitation to C*-algebras for set-theorists can be found in [5]. All mistak...

Abstract Fire frequently causes strong disturbance in forests. Belowground fungi are sensitive to forest fire and can affect vegetation restoration. Our objective was investigate the responses of belowground under two tree species a mixed Yunnan Plateau. Samples from three ‘sample sites’ (roots, rhizosphere soil bulk soil) were collected plant species, Pinus yunnanensis Eucalyptus citriodora, a...

Microwave-assisted hydro distillation MAHD of eucalyptus citriodora. oil was investigated and a comparison was made with conventional hydro distillation. For MAHD, three process parameters; Microwave power, Extraction time and duration of dryness of sample were selected for the extraction. MAHD resulted in a shorter extraction time and better quality of oil compared to that in conventional hydr...

Allelopathy refers to the chemical inhibition or stimulation of one species by another which could influence on the growth or germination of other plant and used in control of weed in agricultural practices. In this sense in order to study the possibly allelopathic effects of lemon balm, bitter apple and lemon verbena medicinal plants on control of wild mustard weed, a laboratory experiment was...
