We investigated the current status and last locations of Turkey’s native Buxus species under threats especially with boxwood moth (Cydalima perspectalis) in detail throught country for first time. Within scope studies, detailed field survey studies were carried out to determine latest existing existence regions provinces. The study was 26 (the is definitely 23 provinces, 3 provinces are thought...

The study was carried out to determine the root architectural characteristics of one-year saplings two species boxwood (Buxus sempervirens L. and Buxus balearica Lam.), which are endangered natural plants Turkey, in greenhouse environment using WinRhizo analysis program scanner. Total length (cm), surface area (cm2), volume (cm3), average diameter (mm), number tips, forks crossings were determi...

Changing climate can strongly affect tree growth and forest productivity. The dendrochronological approach to assessing the impact of change on is possible through climate–growth correlation analysis. This study uses an individual tree-based model Pinus wallichiana (P. wallichiana) radial response across physiographic gradients in lower distributional range Nepal. sampled six sites Makwanpur di...

Malaria and human African trypanosomiasis (HAT; sleeping sickness) are life-threatening tropical diseases caused by protozoan parasites. Due to limited therapeutic options, there is a compelling need for new antiprotozoal agents. In previous study, O-tigloylcyclovirobuxeine-B was recovered from B. sempervirens L. (common box; Buxaceae) leaf extract bioactivity-guided isolation. This nor-cycloar...

The objective of this study was to isolate endophytic fungi producing paclitaxel from yew for the purpose of paclitaxel manufacture. Surface sterilized bark of Taxus wallichiana var. mairei was used as source material and potato dextrose agar culture medium was used in isolation of endophytic fungi. Fungal cultures were extracted with a mixture of chloroform / methanol (1:1, v/v) and the paclit...

A cladistic analysis of the medicinal plant Taxus, using the sequences of one chloroplast (trnS-trnQ spacer) and three nuclear taxadiene synthase (TS), 10-deacetylbaccatin III-10beta-O-acetyltransferase (DBAT), and 18S rDNA) molecular markers, was carried out by distance, parsimony, likelihood, and Bayesian methods. Three of the four New World species (T. brevifolia, T. floridana and T. globosa...
