Hedera helix L. is an important traditional medicinal plant in Europe. The main active components are triterpenoid saponins, but none of the potential enzymes involved in triterpenoid saponins biosynthesis have been discovered and annotated. Here is reported the first study of global transcriptome analyses using the Illumina HiSeq™ 2500 platform for H. helix. In total, over 24 million clean rea...

PURPOSE This study aims to investigate the additive effect of the Hedera helix (HH) and Rhizoma coptidis (RC) extracts mixture on antitussive and expectorant activities in animals. MATERIALS AND METHODS The expectorant assay was performed with phenol red secretion in mice trachea. Mice or guinea pigs were randomly divided into groups of 8 each, including negative and positive control groups. ...

English ivy (Hedera helix L.) is able to grow on vertical substrates such as trees, rocks and house plaster, thereby attaching so firmly to the surface that when removed by force typically whole pieces of the climbing substrate are torn off. The structural details of the attachment process are not yet entirely understood. We studied the attachment process of English ivy in detail and suggest a ...

The environmental problems of the road transport system in Tashkent are analyzed article. Particulate air pollution is one most serious problems. To reduce dust air, it proposed to create protective screens along highways from lianas. It was form fragrant honeysuckle (Lonícera caprifólium) and ivy (Hedera helix), which evergreen conditions Tashkent. study dust-absorbing capacity leaves these pl...

The structure-activity relationship of 12 isolated acetylenes from galls of Hedera rhombea (Araliaceae) induced by Asphondylia sp. (Cecidomyiidae) and their derivatives has been studied for the inhibition of the shoot and root growth of rice, perennial ryegrass, cockscomb, lettuce, and cress. Almost all acetylenes generally showed growth inhibitory activity. The diacetylenes exhibited higher ac...
