The essential oils of 10 species were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed by a gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The main component of Eucalyptus crebra, E. microtheca, E. rudis and Melaleuca quinquenervia essential oils was 1,8-cineole (31.6-49.7%). E. melanophloia and E. tereticornis contained p-cymene (41.8-58.1%) as a major component, while Eucalyptus kitsoniana and E. pruinosa essential oils were dominated by α-pinene (25.8-31.4%). Eugenol methyl ether was identified as a major component in M. bracteata essential oil (82.3%). α-Pinene (31.4%) was the main component in the C. viminalis essential oil. Essential oils of all selected plant species showed good insecticidal activities against T. -
The Pharmacological and Therapeutic Importance of Eucalyptus Species Grown in Iraq
IOSR Journal Of Pharmacy www.iosrphr.org (e)-ISSN: 2250-3013, (p)-ISSN: 2319-4219 Volume 7, Issue 3 Version.1 (March 2017), PP. 72-91 The pharmacological and therapeutic importance of Eucalyptus species grown in Iraq Prof Dr Ali Esmail Al-Snafi Department of Pharmacology, College of Medicine, Thi qar University, Iraq Abstract:- Eucalyptus species grown in Iraq were included Eucalyptus bicolor (Syn: Eucalyptus largiflorens), Eucalyptus griffithsii, Eucalyptus camaldulensis (Syn: Eucalyptus rostrata) Eucalyptus incrassate, Eucalyptus torquata and Eucalyptus microtheca (Syn: Eucalyptus coolabahs). Eucalypts contained volatile oils which occurred in many parts of the plant, depending on the species, but in the leaves that oils were most plentiful. The main constituent of the volatile oil derived from fresh leaves of Eucalyptus species was 1,8-cineole. The reported content of 1,8-cineole varies for 54-95%. The most common constituents co-occurring with 1,8- cineole were limonene, α-terpineol, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, globulol and α , β and ϒ-eudesmol, and aromatic constituents. The pharmacological studies revealed that Eucalypts possessed gastrointestinal, antiinflammatory, analgesic, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, insecticidal, repellent, oral and dental, dermatological, nasal and many other effects. The current review highlights the chemical constituents and pharmacological and therapeutic activities of Eucalyptus species grown in Iraq. Keywords: Eucalyptus species, constituents, pharmacological, therapeutic I. INTRODUCTION: In the last few decades there has been an exponential growth in the field of herbal medicine. It is getting popularized in developing and developed countries owing to its natural origin and lesser side effects. Plants are a valuable source of a wide range of secondary metabolites, which are used as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, flavours, fragrances, colours, biopesticides and food additives [1-50]. -

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This review of the environmental impacts of Myrtle Rust in Australia is accompanied by an adjunct document, Myrtle Rust in Australia – a draft Action Plan. The Action Plan was developed in 2018 in consultation with experts, stakeholders and the public. The intent of the draft Action Plan is to provide a guiding framework for a specifically environmental dimension to Australia’s response to Myrtle Rust – that is, the conservation of native biodiversity at risk. -
Physical-Mechanical and Anatomical Characterization in 26-Year-Old Eucalyptus Resinifera Wood
Floresta e Ambiente 2014 jan./mar.; 21(1):91-98 http://dx.doi.org/10.4322/floram.2014.006 ISSN 1415-0980 (impresso) ISSN 2179-8087 (online) Original Article Physical-Mechanical and Anatomical Characterization in 26-Year-Old Eucalyptus resinifera Wood Israel Luiz de Lima1, Eduardo Luiz Longui1, Miguel Luiz Menezes Freitas2, Antonio Carlos Scatena Zanatto3, Marcelo Zanata3, Sandra Monteiro Borges Florsheim1, Geraldo Bortoletto Jr.4 1Seção de Madeira e Produtos Florestais, Divisão de Dasonomia, Instituto Florestal – IF, São Paulo/SP, Brasil 2Seção de Melhoramento Genético, Instituto Florestal – IF, São Paulo/SP, Brasil 3Divisão de Florestas e Estações Experimentais, Instituto Florestal – IF, São Paulo/SP, Brasil 4Departamento de Ciências Florestais – LCF, Universidade de São Paulo – USP, Piracicaba/SP, Brasil ABSTRACT In the present study, we aimed to characterize Eucalyptus resinifera wood through physical and mechanical assays and wood anatomy studies, as well as determine the relationships between the properties and anatomy of wood. We used samples collected from the area close to the bark of ten 26-year-old E. resinifera trees. We concluded that the specific gravity (Gb), compression (fc0), and shear parallel to grain (fv0) were ranked in strength classes C30, C40 and C60, respectively, and that volumetric shrinkage (VS) was ranked as high. A positive relationship between Gb and fv0 results from the higher specific gravity associated with higher tissue proportion, in turn, causing higher shear strength. Higher ray frequency increases shear strength, because rays act as reinforcing elements. A negative relationship between VS and vessel diameter occurs because vessel walls are highly resistant to collapse, and since larger lumens represent a higher proportion of empty spaces, less tissue is available for shrinkage. -

As seqüências das espécies E. globulus ssp. globulus e A. bakeri (gênero Angophora) foram extraídas do banco de dados “Genbank” e incluídas na análise. A espécie Psidium guajava foi utilizada como “outgroup”. O programa computacional Clustal X foi utilizado para o alinhamento das seqüências e a árvore filogenética foi obtida a partir do Método de Agrupamento do vizinho mais próximo (Saitou and Nei, 1987). A seqüên- cia região 5.8S mostrou ser bastante conservada em todas as espécies investigadas, embora algumas variações tenham sido detectadas nas seqüências desse gene, principalmente quando foram comparadas às seqüências das espécies dos gêneros Angophora, Corymbia e Eucalyptus. As regiões ITS1 e ITS2 apresentaram variações em suas seqüências, para todas as espécies investigadas. A análise da árvore filogenética permitiu constatar nítida separação entre os gêneros Corymbia e Eucalyptus. A espécie A. bakeri, agrupou-se com as espécies do gênero Corymbia. -

Even when a system has been formed, there is still something to add, to alter, or to reject. Every generation enjoys the use of a vast hoard bequeathed to it by antiquity, and transmits that hoard, augmented by fresh acquisitions, to future ages. In these pursuits, therefore, the first speculators lie under great disadvantages, and, even when they fail, are entitled to praise.” Macaulay's “Essay on Milton” Sydney William Applegate Gullick, Government Printer 1917 Part 21 CXIII.

Leaves opposite, sessile, cordate ovate or ovate-lanceolate, obtuse or acute, mostly 2 to 4 inches long (or narrow lanceolate, which are alternate and much longer.—J.H.M.). -
