    Peumus Boldus Mol.) Rescate De Un Patrimonio Forestal Chileno Manejo Sustentable Y Valorización De Sus Productos

    Boldo(Peumus boldus Mol.) Rescate de un Patrimonio Forestal Chileno Manejo Sustentable y Valorización de sus Productos EDITORES Susana Benedetti Ruiz1 Santiago Barros Asenjo2 1 Ingeniera Forestal. Investigadora Sede Metropolitana INFOR. Jefa Proyecto Innovación Silvícola e Industrial del Boldo en la Zona Central de Chile. [email protected] 2 Ingeniero Forestal. Relaciones Internacionales y Transferencia Tecnológica INFOR [email protected] Boldo (Peumus boldus Mol.) - Rescate de un patrimonio forestal chileno. Prólogo MANEJO SUSTENTABLE Y VALORIZACIÓN DE SUS PRODUCTOS PRÓLOGO El boldo (Peumus boldus Mol.) es una especie nativa y endémica de Chile presente en formaciones naturales de amplia distribución en la zona central y sur del país, entre las Regiones de Coquimbo y Los Lagos. El uso de su madera, sus hojas y sus frutos es de larga data; los pueblos originarios antes de la llegada de los españoles ya usaban sus hojas para infusiones con fines digestivos y medicinales lo que sigue siendo una arraigada costumbre nacional. Su valor medicinal radica en principios activos contenidos tanto en sus hojas como en su corteza. El principal de ellos es el alcaloide conocido como boldina, producto que ya en el siglo XIX despertaba el interés en otros países, como Francia, donde en 1872 ya se realizaban investigaciones sobre sus propiedades. Desde principios del siglo XX las hojas de boldo han trascendido el mercado nacional y se han ex- portado a distintos países con la consecuente presión sobre el recurso, el cual se ha visto reducido en superficie y degradado en los bosques existentes debido a prácticas extractivas que no aseguran su sustentabilidad.

    Using Beautiful Flowering Bulbous (Geophytes) Plants in the Cemetery Gardens in the City of Tokat

    J. Int. Environmental Application & Science, Vol. 11(2): 216-222 (2016) Using Beautiful Flowering Bulbous (Geophytes) Plants in the Cemetery Gardens in the City of Tokat Kübra Yazici∗, Hasan Köse2, Bahriye Gülgün3 1Gaziosmanpaşa University Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture, 60100, Taşlıçiftlik, Tokat, Turkey; 2 Celal Bayar University Alaşehir Vocational School Alaşehir; Manisa; 3Ege University Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture, 35100 Bornova, Izmir, TURKEY, Received March 25, 2016; Accepted June 12, 2016 Abstract: The importance of public green areas in urban environment, which is a sign of living standards and civilization, increase steadily. Because of the green areas they exhibit and their spiritual atmosphere, graveyards have importance. With increasing urbanization come the important duties of municipalities to arrange and maintain cemeteries. In recent years, organizations independent from municipalities have become interested in cemetery paysage. This situation has made cemetery paysage an important sector. The bulbous plants have a distinctive role in terms of cemetery paysage because of their nice odours, decorative flowers and the ease of maintenance. The field under study is the city of Tokat which is an old city in Turkey. This study has been carried out in various cemeteries in Tokat, namely, the Cemetery of Şeyhi-Şirvani, the Cemetery of Erenler, the Cemetery of Geyras, the Cemetery of Ali, and the Armenian Cemetery. Field observation have been carried out in terms of the leafing and flowering times of bulbous plants. At the end of the study, in designated regions in the before-mentioned cemeteries bulbous plants that naturally grow in these regions have been evaluated. In the urban cemeteries, these flowers are used the most: tulip, irises, hyacinth, daffodil and day lily (in decreasing order of use).
  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."

    "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."

    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

It possesses anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, hepatoprotective, anti-helminthic and anti-depressant activity. Thujone excites nervous system when taken in small amount. Due to contrary history of wormwood, its application in individuals should be preceded by a thorough and cautious risk-benefit analysis. In this appraisal an attempt is done to validate scientifically, mentioned therapeutic potential of Artemisia absinthium in classical Unani literature using PubMed, Science Direct researches. Keywords Afsanteen, Wormwood, Thujone, Unani, Hepatoprotective INTRODUCTION largest and highly advanced family with approximately 1528 (Mukherjee, 2006), (TYROCITY, 2018) or 1620 (Petruzzello, Healing with medicinal plants is as old as mankind itself. 2018), (Panero, et al., 2012) genera and 22750 or 23600 Since prehistoric times, in quest for rescue for their disease, the species of herbs, shrubs and trees.

Abstract Infection with Helicobacter pyloriis the most common cause of stomach and duodenal ulcers. About more than 80 % of people are infected with H. pylori in developing countries. H. pylori uses urease enzyme product “ammonia” in order to neutralize and protect itself from the stomach acidic condition and urease enzyme activity has been shown to be essential to the colonization of H. pylori. Inhibitory activity of 20 traditional medicinal plants were examined and evaluated against Jack bean urease activity by Berthelot reaction to obtains natural sources of urease inhibitors. Each herb was extracted using 80% aqueous methanol, then tested its IC50 value was determined. Eight of the whole 20 studied plants crude extracts were found the most effective with IC50 values of less than 100 µg/mL including Laurus nobilis, Zingiber officinale, Nigella sativa, Angelica archangelica, Acorus calamus, Allium sativum,Curcuma longa, and Citrus aurantium extracts, from which most potent urease inhibitory was observed for Zingiber officinale, Laurus nobilis, and Nigella sativa with IC50 values of 48.54, 48.69 and 59.10 µg/mL, respectively.
