  • Crop Profile for Basil in New Jersey Ocimum Basilicum (L.) O
    Crop Profile for Basil in New Jersey Ocimum basilicum (L.) O. tenuiflorum O. americanum Lamiales: Lamiaceae Prepared: 2008 General Production Information Yearly production: Approximately 450 acres % of crop for fresh market: 100% % of crop grown for retail market: 10 % % of crop grown for wholesale market: 90 % Production Regions The majority of basil production occurs in the southern New Jersey counties of Atlantic (100 acres), Cumberland (225 acres), and Gloucester (50 acres). There is some basil production in the central counties of Monmouth, Ocean, and Burlington, amounting to less than 50 acres. Soils in southern and much of central New Jersey are light, ranging from sand to sandy loam with some areas of silt loam. Basil production in the southern region extends from early April to October. In this region, basil is predominantly grown for the wholesale market, with plant stems generally cut or pulled, washed and bundled in 12-15 plant or stem bunches. Wholesale units are 15-count (bunch) crates. Some basil in this region is produced for the retail market and sold at farm stands or directly to restaurants. In this case, basil is generally sold by the bunch. In the northern counties of Hunterdon, Mercer, Morris, Warren, and Sussex, many growers produce basil, but on minimal acreage. Soils in the northern region are typically Piedmont (heavy silt loams) and Appalachian (shaley) soils. The field season begins in mid-May here, and continues until cold weather terminates production. In the north, basil is grown exclusively for retail at farm stands and at community-sponsored farmers markets. Typical growers in this region produce less than one half acre of basil.

Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms.

O experimento contou com vinte e sete fêmeas e nove machos, divididos em três grupos. Os chás foram preparados pelo método de infusão, utilizando-se folhas de plantas adultas obtidas em quintais residenciais. A partir do primeiro dia de acasalamento os animais foram submetidos a diferentes tratamentos: o (T1) recebeu água, o (T2) recebeu a dose de chá considerada coloquial e o (T3) recebeu uma dose 200% maior. Para avaliar a qualidade e verificar o estágio de desenvolvimento embrionário, no quarto dia de acasalamento, seis fêmeas de cada grupo foram submetidas a uma laparotomia abdominal mediana para que se procedesse a um lavado uterino que, depois de coletado, foi submetido a análise laboratorial.

  • Mothers, Markets and Medicine Hanna Lindh
    Mothers, markets and medicine The role of traditional herbal medicine in primary women and child health care in the Dar es Salaam region, Tanzania Hanna Lindh Degree project in biology, Bachelor of science, 2015 Examensarbete i biologi 15 hp till kandidatexamen, 2015 Biology Education Centre, Uppsala University Supervisors: Sarina Veldman and Hugo de Boer 1 Abstract Traditional medicine is still the most common primary healthcare used in Tanzania, especially among women. The ethnobotanical studies performed in Tanzania have not explored women’s traditional medicine, with the result that we do not know that much about it, including if women’s usage of medicinal plants create a threat against the medicinal flora’s biodiversity or not. Field studies consisting of interviews and collections of medicinal plants were carried out in the Dar es Salaam region in Tanzania before identifying the collected specimens by DNA barcoding, literature and morphology in Uppsala, Sweden. The 33 informants belonged to 15 different ethnic groups and 79% of them had migrated to Dar es Salaam. A total of 249 plant species were mentioned for women’s healthcare and 140 for children’s healthcare. The medicinal plants frequently reported as used for women’s health and childcare during structured interviews and free-listing exercises were Senna occidentalis/ Cassia abbreviata, Zanthoxylum sp., Clausena anisata, Acalypha ornata and Ximenia sp. The most salient uses of medicinal plants by women were during pregnancy, childbirth, menstruation, to induce abortion, and for cleansing infants and treating convulsions in children. Most of the fresh specimens were collected from disturbance vegetation. The informants having most interview answers in common were the market vendors, healers and herbalists and they were the only informants that mentioned species listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Lamiaceae is the third largest family based on the taxon number and fourth largest family based on the species number in Turkey. The family has 48 genera and 782 taxa (603 species, 179 subspecies and varieties), 346 taxa (271 species, 75 subspecies and varieties) of which are endemic (ca. 44%) (data updated 1th February 2017) in the country. There are also 23 hybrid species, 19 of which are endemic (82%). The results proven that Turkey is one of the centers of diversity for Lamiaceae in the Old World. In addition, Turkey has about 10% of all Lamiaceae members in the World. The largest five genera in the country based on the taxon number are Stachys (118 taxa), Salvia (107 taxa), Sideritis (54 taxa), Phlomis (53 taxa) and Teucrium (49 taxa). According to taxon number, five genera with the highest endemism ratio are Dorystaechas (1 taxon, 100%), Lophantus (1 taxon, 100%), Sideritis (54 taxa, 74%), Drymosiphon (9 taxa, 67%), and Marrubium (27 taxa, 63%). There are two monotypic genera in Turkey as Dorystaechas and Pentapleura. Turkey sits on the junction of three phytogeographic regions with highly diverse climate and the other ecologic features. Phytogeographic distribution of Turkish Lamiaceae taxa are 293 taxa in the Mediterranean (37.4%), 267 taxa in the Irano-Turanian (36.7%), 90 taxa in the Euro-Siberian (Circumboreal) phytogeographic region, and 112 taxa in Unknown or Multiregional (14.3%) phytogeographical elements.

Mihail Sadoveanu, nr. 3, 700490–Iaşi, Romania Corresponding author: [email protected] This second part of the paper about the vascular flora of Rarău Massif listed approximately half of the whole number of the species registered by the authors in their field trips or already included in literature on the same area. Other taxa have been added to the initial list of plants, so that, the total number of taxa registered by the authors in Rarău Massif amount to 1443 taxa (1133 species and 310 subspecies, varieties and forms). There was signaled out the alien taxa on the surveyed area (18 species) and those dubious presence of some taxa for the same area (17 species). Also, there were listed all the vascular plants, protected by various laws or regulations, both internal or international, existing in Rarău (i.e. 189 taxa). Finally, there has been assessed the degree of wild flora conservation, using several indicators introduced in literature by Nowak, as they are: conservation indicator (C), threat conservation indicator) (CK), sozophytisation indicator (W), and conservation effectiveness indicator (E). Key words: Vascular flora, Rarău Massif, Romania, conservation indicators. 1. INTRODUCTION A comprehensive analysis of Rarău flora, in terms of plant diversity, taxonomic structure, biological, ecological and phytogeographic characteristics, as well as in terms of the richness in endemics, relict or threatened plant species was published in our previous note (see Oprea & Sîrbu 2012).

Although there exists information on the possible photon‐induced reaction such as photoirritation and photosensitization produced by sunscreen creams containing synthetic photo‐protective chemicals. Effect of sunscreen cream depends upon sun protection factor (SPF) value and substantivity. In addition due to high cost and time consumption of in vivo SPF determination methodologies, in vitro SPF determination is gaining more importance. The aim of present study was to formulate a sunscreen cream containing essential oil of Ocimum basilicum Linn. as an active ingredient and evaluate experimental method for in vitro SPF determination.
