This study used morphological characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear ribosomal DNA to investigate the phylogeny of Passiflora species. The samples were collected from various regions of East Malaysia, and discriminant function analysis based on linear combinations of morphological variables was used to classify the Passiflora specie...

Medicinal plants and their extracts play a vital role within the medicine system to preserve our health. India being medico diverse country in which the traditional systems of Ayurveda, Homeopathy and Unani recognize by the importance for medicinal plant extract variable in origins. Out of 2000 medicinal plants, which are recognized and are used throughout the system, Passiflora sp is one of th...

Hooklike trichomes of Passiflora adenopoda provide a specific, effectively absolute defense against heliconiine butterfly larvae, a major class of Passiflora herbivores. It is suggested that since mechanical defenses are usually more selective in their action against herbivores, they usually are evolved by a plant only after it has accumulated a series of chemical defenses.

This review describes the morphology, microscopy, traditional and folklore uses, phyto-constituents, pharmacological reports, clinical applications and toxicological reports of the prominent species of the genus Passiflora. Flavonoids, glycosides, alkaloids, phenolic compounds and volatile constituents have been reported as the major phyto-constituents of the Passiflora species. A few species o...

Fruiting phenology is a critical aspect of plant fitness, as it directly linked to the next-generation offspring delivery. Both abiotic and biotic factors presumably exert natural selection on phenology. Despite role climate in shaping fruiting well established, whether frugivores phenotypic has not yet been tested. We estimated regime magnitude frugivore-mediated three distant (> 500 km) popul...

anxiety is one of the most common symptoms of mental disorders, significantly affecting work function and interpersonal relationships. its characteristics include a set of cognitive, physical, emotional and behavioral-symptoms. some of these symptoms are: feeling empty heart, shortness of breath, palpitations, flushing, excessive sweating, numbness, dizziness and shaking hands. given the high p...

Passiflora species are distributed throughout Latin America, and Brazil and Colombia serve as the centers of diversity for this genus. We performed cross-species amplification to evaluate 109 microsatellite loci in 14 Passiflora species and estimated the diversity and genetic structure of Passiflora cincinnata, Passiflora setaceae and Passiflora edulis. A total of 127 accessions, including 85 a...

Some species of traditional herbal medicine has a history of use, most traditional natural herbs have been used for various diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Among them, Passiflora incarnata L. is a traditional natural medicine, flowers as well as berries, roots, and leaves have been used as a medicine. It has been used as a natural medicine for the treatment of insomnia and...

Green tree frogs, Litoria caerulea, in the wet-dry tropics of northern Australia remain active during the dry season with apparently no available water and temperatures that approach their lower critical temperature. We hypothesized that this surprising activity might be because frogs that are cooled during nighttime activity gain water from condensation by returning to a warm, humid tree hollo...
