Bee product mugwort is identified as being at the origin of allergic accidents but the biological potency of Artemisia contained in bee pollen is not well known. In this experiment, Artemisia mass was identified in bee pollen mass and after having calculated the proportion of Artemisia using the bee pollen melissopalynology spectrum. Skin reactivity to Artemisia was assessed by measuring wheal ...

Artemisia species possess pharmacological properties that are used for medical purposes worldwide. In this paper, the essential oils from the aerial parts of Artemisia nilagirica and Artemisia maritima from the western Indian Himalaya region are described. The main compounds analyzed by simultaneous GC/MS and GC/FID were camphor and 1,8-cineole from A. maritima, and camphor and artemisia ketone...

Genetic variation in plants has broad implications for both the ecology and evolution of species interactions. We addressed how a diverse community of arthropod species covary in abundance among plant genotypes of a native herbaceous plant (Oenothera biennis ), and if these effects scale-up to shape the composition, diversity, and total abundance of arthropods over the entire lifetime of plants...

The genetic behavior of ~Enothera biennis and O. syrticola (0. muricata L.) as uniform and constant species is now generally explained by the assumption of the presence of two gametic lethal factors. The reciprocal hybrids of these forms are unlike each other and the double reciprocal hybrids return to the grandparental types. I t is assumed that there are two kinds of gametes, but that one of ...

Background: Sudamala herb (Artemisia vulgaris L.) is often used in society as an anti tumor for organs of digestive system including oral cavity. Nevertheless, there are still no further scientific researches on active materials which can be used as anti carcinogen in oral cavity. Most of anti carcinogens are actually obtained from the genus Artemisia. Moreover, in Indonesia, the species of the...

The Asteraceae family is one of the largest families, comprising 67 genera and 264 species in Poland. However, only a few genera, including Artemisia and Ambrosia are potential allergenic sources. The aim of the study was to estimate how often and to what degree Artemisia and Ambrosia pollen seasons co-occur intensifying human health risk, and how synoptic situations influence frequency of days...

Artemisia scoparia, Artemisia sacrorum and Artemisia giraldii were three dominant Artemisia species which successive grew in the secondary succession on abandoned land of the Loess Plateau. The succession accompanied the soil moisture steady decrease with field age after their abandonment. To elucidate the relationship between the Artemisia species succession and their drought-adaptation, three...

HERE was a time when the evening primrose was the despair of the T geneticist. It still is the despair of the taxonomist, who finds it difficult to classify and delimit species in this genus on the basis of phenotypic criteria alone. This difficulty is now known to be due to the fact that most Onagras are, from the phylogenetic point of view, not single, but dual.entities. They are usually comp...

BACKGROUND Artemisia aerial parts are well known for antimicrobial activities including anti malaria. OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and chemical composition of essential oil from the seeds of Artemisia aucheri Boiss (Asteraceae). MATERIALS AND METHODS Essential oil was extracted from the powdered seeds of Artemisia aucheri by hydrodistillation....
