Introduction: Drought stress is the most influential factors affecting crop yield particularly in irrigated agriculture in arid and semiarid regions. Drought, being the most important environmental stress, severely impairs plant growth and development, limits plant production and the performance of ...

Common myrtle (Myrtus communis L.) occurs in (semi-)arid areas of the Palearctic region where climate change, over-exploitation, and habitat destruction imperil its existence. The evergreen shrub is of great economic and ecological importance due to its pharmaceutical value, ornamental use, and its ...

Pohspora Sweet are evergreen tree of Theaceae with 50 species, mainly distributed in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Polvspora have high ornamental value, can be used as landscape trees in tropical and subtropical regions. Sonic of them have edible and medicinal values. Based on the brief...

This review of Neotropical Burseraceae emphasizes developments since the last major review of the family in 2011. The Burseraceae comprise a Laurasian group (represented by Eocene fossils in the Northern Hemisphere) that originally dispersed through Central America into Amazonia. During cooling and ...

Phytochemical investigation of the pericarp of Toona sinensis (A. Juss.) Roem (Meliaceae) led to the isolation and identification of 33 compounds, namely, 7 apotirucallane-type triterpenoids (1-7), 2 cycloartane-type triterpenoids (8-9), 5 sterols (10-14), 2 sesquiterpenes (15-16), 2 lignans...

Anatomically preserved fossils allow estimation of hydraulic parameters, potentially providing constraints on interpreting whole-plant physiology. However, different organ systems have typically been considered in isolation - a problem given common mismatches of high and low conductance components...

The abiotic stress such as water, temperature, and drought influences the production of pharmacologically important secondary metabolites of plant as a defense mechanism. Cassia angustifolia Vahl. is a potent medicinal plant which yields sennosides from its leaves and pods and grow well under water ...

Twelve compounds were isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble portion of the 70% hydroalcoholic extract from the leaves of Zanthoxylum nitidum (Roxb.) DC. All of the compounds were determined on the basis of UV, IR, NMR and MS and comparison with literature. Among them, compounds 4, 7, 10 and 12...

Ten compounds were isolated from the root bark of Bombax malabarica, including two new compounds, bombamalin (1) and 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenol-1-[β-xylopyranosyl-(1 → 2)]-β-glucopyranoside (3), and shorealactone (4), a rare dehydroascorbic acid fused l-ε-viniferin. Compound 1 is an unusual...

Excessive water and fertilizer management strategy was main factor restricting high-quality production of edible Roses. The objective of this study was therefore to explore a combination of micro-irrigation method and bio-organic fertilizer application amount suitable for high-quality production of ...
