Chamaecyparis lawsonia, which brings beauty in parks and green space, is attacked by a variety of pathogenic agents specially fungi. In this study, some Chamaecyparis lawsonia available in parks that had disease symptoms were  sampled. After sample collection, in order to isolate fungal pathogens, cuts of the infected plant tissues were placed on PDA (potato dextrose agar) and later were put on...

Chamaecyparis are ornamental plants that are used extensively in temperate-zone landscapes worldwide. However, due to their low tolerance to environmental stresses Chamaecyparis often perform poorly in urban landscapes. The objective of this research was to evaluate rootstocks of selected Cupressaceae taxa to determine their adaptability to poor drainage and high temperatures found commonly in ...

BACKGROUND The study was designed to investigate correlation between histological findings of Lawsonia intracellularis in porcine cases of diarrhoea and the quantitative detection of Lawsonia intracellularis in faeces. A total of 156 pigs (10 to 70 days post weaning) with diarrhoea were randomly selected from 20 herds: The pigs were subjected to necropsy, histopathology, immunohistochemistry an...

WHIGHAM, D. F., and RICHARDSON, C. J. 1988. Soil and plant chemistry of an Atlantic white cedar wetland on the Inner Coastal Plain of Maryland. Can. J. Bot. 66: 568-576. Atlantic white cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides (L.) BSP.) wetlands are widely distributed along the Atlantic coast, yet there is very little information on their nutrient dynamics. In this paper we present data on the chemical co...

From the leaves of Chamaecyparis obtusa several biflavones were isolated and identified, namely: sciadopitysin, ginkgetin, isoginkgetin, podocarpusflavone B, 7,7"-O-dimethylamentoflavone, bilobetin, podocarpusflavone A, and 7-O-methylamentoflavone. The presence of amentoflavone and hinokiflavone was also confirmed. The composition of biflavones in other Chamaecyparis species--Ch. lawsoniana, Ch...

There are six species in the genus Chamaecyparis worldwide, of which two, namely the Hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa Sieb. et Zucc.) and Sawara cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera Sieb. et Zucc.) are distributed in Japan (Maruyama et al., 2002). The Hinoki cypress is one of the most important commercial timber trees in Japan, representing about 25% of the plantation area in the country. Howeve...

The megafossil record of Chamaecyparis (Cupressaceae) in the Northern Hemisphere, especially that in Europe, is reviewed with the aim of gaining a better understanding of the biogeographic history of this genus and providing an explanation of the causes of eastern Asian and western and eastern North American intercontinental disjunction of extant members. The fossil data available favor the hyp...

A natural dye lawsone (2-hydroxy-1, 4-naphthoquinone) was isolated from dry leaves of Lawsonia inermis L., by extraction with clove oil, ethyl alcohol, water and its effectiveness as staining agent for angiospermic stem tissue was studied. Lawsonia revealed meta-chromatic property of staining. A 10%w/v crude extract of Lawsonia inermis L., leaves in ethyl alcohol and water were used for stainin...

Aim of the study was to evaluate the hepatoprotective activity of ethanolic seed extract of Lawsonia inermis against paracetamol induced liver damage in rats. Wistar albino rats of either sex were divided in to 5 groups of 6 each. The rats were intoxicated with paracetamol (750mg/kg) at every 72 hrs for 21 days. Silymarin (50mg/kg) and Lawsonia inermis (200 & 400 mg/kg) were orally administered...
