The selected trees have already successfully proven themsel- ves in our own observations and according to our customers. The ‘modern urban trees’ counter extreme levels of heat and frost, dryness and waterlogging with outstanding vitality and little maintenance. In addition to the location-induced conditions, we have also considered the whole broad range of tasks of a functioning urban green space. This range will therefore always offer you the right trees for your urban projects. Without exception, all of our ‘modern urban trees’ are ALLEEGRO® trees, i.e. container trees that have been cultivated by Clasen & Co using the technology we have developed. The nursing, prun- ing and optimum nutrient supply methods that we have created, in conjunction with the unique ALLEEGRO® soil, aim to optimally develop the trees’ vitality and offer them advantages through reliable establishment behaviour. This is a quality feature that you can rely on. 03 ACER TRUNCAtum ‚NORWEGIan sunset‘® Scarlet maple ‚NORWEGIAN Sunset’® SPE CIFICATIONS Home/origin Cultivar (Acer truncatum x Acer plata- Soil/location The variety tolerates all types of soil noides ‚Keithsform‘) and also withstands damp but not ext- remely wet locations.

However, in order to confirm the potential benefits of anticancer drug development from natural sources, in-depth screening assessments are necessary. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of eight medicinal plants against breast carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines. Remarkably, among all the tested plant extracts, Pyracantha angustifolia and Paullinia cupana extracts showed maximum inhibition in the two cancer cell line models, as detected by cell viability assays, but not in normal mammary epithelial cells. Moreover, induction of cell cycle arrest was seen in both cancer cell models after treatment with extracts derived from the fruits of P.

Its numerous species have been utilized as a traditional medicine in the world. Despite, the therapeutic importance of genus Sorbus, out of 100 species only 13 species have been screened phytochemically. Up till now, around 150 secondary metabolites have been reported from this genus, which are summarized in this review. Keywords: Rosaceae, Sorbus, phytochemical, pharmacological potential. INTRODUCTION The Sorbus L. is a genus from the Rose family (Rosaceae). Sorbus comprises of 100 species among which many are medicinally important and are being used in the folklore medications all over the world (Bhattacharjee, 2003). Several taxa from Sorbus are found in customary and local medicines that are used as anti-diarrhea, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, vaso- protective, broncho- and vaso-relaxant, along with potent antioxidative qualities (Hukkanen et al., 2006, Olszewska and Michel, 2009, Olszewska et al., 2010, Olszewska, 2012; Perry and Metzger, 1980; Krishna, 1972; Jayaweera, 1982; Krachmal, 1980. The fruit of S. aucuparia L. is bitter in nature and having characteristics of, astringent, laxative, diuretic and cholagogue. Traditionally these are used as drugs in the form of tea, syrup, jelly or liqueur in Austria for the treatment of ailments related to respiratory tract, fever, infections, colds, flu, rheumatism and gout.

  • Magnolia Obovata
    ISSUE 80 INAGNOLN INagnolla obovata Eric Hsu, Putnam Fellow, Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University Photographs by Philippe de 8 poelberch I first encountered Magnolia obovata in Bower at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens and Arboretum, Hampshire, England, where the tightly pursed, waxy, globular buds teased, but rewarded my patience. As each bud unfurled successively, it emitted an intoxicating ambrosial bouquet of melons, bananas, and grapes. Although the leaves were nowhere as luxuriously lustrous as M. grandrflora, they formed an el- egant wreath for the creamy white flower. I gingerly plucked one flower for doser observation, and placed one in my room. When I re- tumed from work later in the afternoon, the mom was overpowering- ly redolent of the magnolia's scent. The same olfactory pleasure was later experienced vicariously through the large Magnolia x wiesneri in the private garden of Nicholas Nickou in southern Connecticut. Several years earlier, I had traveled to Hokkaido Japan, after my high school graduation. Although Hokkaido experiences more severe win- ters than those in the southern parts of Japan, the forests there yield a remarkable diversity of fora, some of which are popular ornamen- tals. When one drives through the region, the silvery to blue-green leaf undersides of Magnolia obovata, shimmering in the breeze, seem to flag the eyes. In "Forest Flora of Japan" (sggII), Charles Sargent commended this species, which he encountered growing tluough the mountainous forests of Hokkaido. He called it "one of the largest and most beautiful of the deciduous-leaved species in size and [the seed conesj are sometimes eight inches long, and brilliant scarlet in color, stand out on branches, it is the most striking feature of the forests.

  • Garden Wise Non-Invasive Plants for Your Garden
    Garden Wise Non-Invasive Plants for Your Garden Western Washington Guide Voluntary codes of conduct For the gardening public (annotated): In an effort to reduce the spread of invasive plants used for horticultural purposes, experts have created the “Voluntary Codes of Conduct,” a series of steps that nursery professionals, landscape architects, gardeners, and others can take to help curb the spread of invasive horticultural plants. ◊ Ask for only non-invasive species when you acquire plants. Plant only environmentally safe species in your gardens. Work towards and promote new landscape design that is friendly to regional ecosystems. ◊ Seek information on which species are invasive in your area. Sources could include botanical gardens, horticulturists, conservationists, and government agencies. Remove invasive species from your land and replace them with non-invasive species suited to your site and needs. ◊ Do not trade plants with other gardeners if you know they are species with invasive characteristics. ◊ Request that botanical gardens and nurseries promote, display, and sell only non-invasive species. ◊ Help educate your community and other gardeners in your area through personal contact and in such settings as garden clubs and other civic groups. For the full Gardening Codes of Conduct, or to learn about the Codes of Conduct for Government, Nursery Professionals, Landscape Architects, and Botanic Gardens and Arboreta, please go to the Invasive.org, TNC’s Global Invasive Species Team webpage: www.invasive.org/gist/horticulture/using-codes.html.

One of the most striking L foliage displays I encountered was on a small Japanese rowan (Sorbus commixta) in the Brian Mulligan Sorbus Collection.

In this study, we evaluated the effect of S. commixta fruit extracts prepared with different ethanol concentrations on anti-melanoma activity, and the extraction yield of phenolic compounds and flavonoids. Using the partitioned fractions from the EtOH extract, we found that the butanol fraction (BF) possessed strong cytotoxic activity against SK-MEL-2 cells (human melanoma cells) but not against HDFa cells (human dermal fibroblast adult cells). Additionally, BF-induced cell death was mediated by the inhibition of the mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular regulated kinase (MEK/ERK) signaling pathway, coupled with the upregulation of caspase-3 activity in SK-MEL-2 cells.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School Department of Geography SPECIES COEXISTENCE IN AN ALPINE FOREST IN CENTRAL JAPAN A Dissertation in Geography by Amanda Beatrice Young 2016 Amanda Beatrice Young Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2016 The dissertation of Amanda B. Young was reviewed and approved* by the following: Alan Taylor Professor of Geography Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Andrew Carleton Professor of Geography Erica Smithwick Associate Professor of Geography Margot Kaye Associate Professor of Forest Ecology Cynthia Brewer Professor of Geography Head of the Department of Geography *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT In this dissertation, I examine Bond’s “slow seedling” hypothesis in an alpine forest system in central Japan. Bond (1989) developed this idea to explain the spatial partitioning of angiosperms and gymnosperms, in which gymnosperms are less responsive to resources like light and soil nutrients. Angiosperms prefer nutrient rich, dry soils in areas with relatively warm climates, relegating gymnosperms to the cool nutrient poor environments. Thus, gymnosperms typically dominate at high elevations and latitudes in environments such as treeline, with low temperatures and poorly developed soils. The alpine treeline of central Japan is not composed of gymnosperms but an angiosperm, Betula ermanii Cham., and is bounded by a subalpine forest dominated by Abies mariesii Mast. below and a mat of scrub pine Pinus pumila (Pall.) Regel above. The B. ermanii treeline is abrupt and has had no apparent upward movement over the past 50 years despite significant warming (3ºC), indicating the ecosystem has long-term stability where gymnosperms and angiosperms coexist, though the dominance of each species is segregated by elevation.
