Castniid moths (Lepidoptera: Castniidae) display a butterfly-like reproductive behavior, i.e., they use visual stimuli for mate location and females have apparently lost their pheromone glands in an evolutionary context. In this paper we report for the first time the identification of three new compounds, namely n-octadecyl acetate, (Z)-9-octadecenyl acetate and (E,Z)-2,13-octadecadienyl acetat...

Plants exposed to certain abiotic stress conditions tend to produce the amino acid proline, which acts as an active osmolyte, a metal chelator, an antioxidant, and a signaling molecule. There is increasing evidence that proline accumulates in plants due to a wide range of abiotic stress, in particular high soil salinity and drought. Therefore, proline content is often used as a marker-assisted ...

Extraordinary importance of Date-Palm, Phoenix dactylifera especially ‘Piarom’ variety and also undeniable effect of nitrogen and phosphorus on yield and quality of this product, caused this research to be accomplished. The research was performed during two years on 72 (4*3*3*2=72 trees) fruitful, 12 years old trees in Hormozgan province. Treatments were consisted of four levels of nitrogen (0,...

Article history: Received on: 08/09/2016 Revised on: 09/10/2016 Accepted on: 22/11/2016 Available online: 28/12/2016 Phoenix canariensis is a commonly grown, yet understudied, palm plant. The phytochemical screening of leaves and pollens revealed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, sterols and/or triterpenes. Quantitative estimation of constituents, revealed that the total polyphenol...

A stack of 66 historical Indian palm leaves, which were produced in the 8 Century AD, is kept in the Museum Rietberg, Zuerich. On the leaves, there are figures and a long poem, inscribed in ancient Sanskrit language and narrating a love story. The original sequence of the leaves was lost long time ago. At one point in history, the stack of the leaves was damaged by a mouse biting pieces off. On...

Using Tithonia (Tithonia diversifolia), Cassava leaves (Manihot utilisima), and Gamal (Gliricidia sepium) as alternative fibers, palm concentrate an protein, is one way to implement effective feeding strategy under a limited supply or lack of feed sources for Etawa Crossbreed Dairy Goats (ECDG). This research aimed study the productive traits milk quality ECDG fed on several forage with Palm Ke...

Royal palm tree peroxidase (RPTP) has been isolated to homogeneity from leaves of Roystonea regia palm trees. The enzyme purification steps included homogenization, (NH4)SO4 precipitation, extraction of palm leaf colored compounds and consecutive chromatography on Phenyl-Sepharose, TSK-Gel DEAE-5PW and Superdex-200. The novel peroxidase was characterized as having a molecular weight of 48.2 ± 3...

Habitat loss represents one of the main threats to tropical forests, which have reached extremely high rates of species extinction. Forest loss negatively impacts biodiversity, affecting ecological (e.g., seed dispersal) and genetic (e.g., genetic diversity and structure) processes. Therefore, understanding how deforestation influences genetic resources is strategic for conservation. Our aim wa...
