Chenopodium ambrosioides (Chenopodiaceae) is an anthelmintic herb used in Latin-America's folk medicine. The aim of this work is to evaluate genetic damage induced by decoction and infusion of this plant which were assayed in different concentrations (1, 10, 100, 1000 microg/ml), by addition of the extract to human lymphocyte cell cultures. The endpoints evaluated were chromosomal aberrations (...

With the aim of determining economic and environmental alternatives that support fish farming in State Rondônia, a phytochemical prospection genetic resources Rondônia flora was carried out. Subsequently, cytotoxicity assays against Artemia salina L. nauplii, thus observing those herbal medicines supposedly with greater potential to control parasites fish, emphasis on Tambaqui (C. macropomum). ...

Environmental conditions in coastal salt marsh habitats have led to the development of specialist genetic adaptations. We evaluated six DNA barcode loci of the 53 species of Poaceae and 15 species of Chenopodiaceae from China's coastal salt marsh area and inland area. Our results indicate that the optimum DNA barcode was ITS for coastal salt-tolerant Poaceae and matK for the Chenopodiaceae. Sam...
