The relative absorptivities (AlA 1505 em-I) of characteristic maxima, and the ratio of syringyl component to guaiacyl component in acidolysis and permanganate oxidation showed that Podocarpus lignin is mostly composed of guaiacyl lignin and that lignins of Gnetum, Pseudowintera and Drimys are composed of guaiacyl-syringyl lignins with increasing amounts of syringyl component in order. Introduction CREIGHTON and HIBBERTD found that lignins of Gnetum and some of Podocarpus give both vanillin and syringaldehyde in nitrobenzene oxidation, and are composed of guaiacyl-syringyl lignin. It is known, however, that the lignins of other species of Podocarpus e. g. P. macrophylla, P. chinensis and P. nagi yield no detectable syring­ aldehyde in nitrobenzene oxidation and are composed of guaiacyl lignin. The lignin of Gnetales which contains both tracheids and vessels as in angiosperm woods gives both vanillin and syringaldehyde and a characteristic IR spectrum of typical angiosperm wood lignin2).

  • Evolution of Endosperm Developmental Patterns Among Basal Flowering Plants
    Int. J. Plant Sci. 161(6 Suppl.):S57–S81. 2000. ᭧ 2000 by The University of Chicago. All rights reserved. 1058-5893/2000/16106S-0005$03.00 EVOLUTION OF ENDOSPERM DEVELOPMENTAL PATTERNS AMONG BASAL FLOWERING PLANTS Sandra K. Floyd1 and William E. Friedman Department of Environmental, Population, and Organismic Biology, CB 334, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado 80309, U.S.A. A phylogenetically based comparative investigation of endosperm development was undertaken in a sample of 13 basal angiosperm taxa. The specific goals were to (1) provide a full developmental analysis of all aspects of endosperm in each species, (2) compare patterns among taxa to determine phylogenetic character distri- bution, (3) reconstruct the ancestral developmental pattern for angiosperms, and (4) explore scenarios of ontogenetic evolution that occurred during the early radiation of flowering plants. Five taxa, Acorus calamus, Cabomba caroliniana, Ceratophyllum demersum, Drimys winteri, and Platanus racemosa, are described in detail. Data from an additional eight taxa were analyzed and compared with these five. Endosperm ontogeny can be conceived of as a series of stages (characters) during which differential patterns of development occur among taxa (character states). We discovered that differential developmental fate of chalazal and micropylar domains is a common pattern among the endosperms of all basal angiosperm taxa and suggest that this may be a feature of endosperm development in all angiosperms. Differential development of chalazal and micropylar domains in endosperm in basal angiosperms also bears a marked similarity to what occurs in angiosperm embryos. This may have implications for understanding the evolutionary origin of endosperm. Basal angio- sperms also exhibit variable endosperm developmental characters, indicating that significant ontogenetic trans- formation occurred during the early radiation of the clade, although magnoliid taxa exhibit a high degree of conservation in endosperm characters.

The potential of applying a continuous pulsed electric field (PEF) as a pretreatment step prior to sol- vent extraction of polygodial from Horopito leaves was studied. Horopito leaves suspended in water were subjected to PEF at electric field intensity ranging from 5 to 25 kV/cm and pulse frequencies from 200 to 800 Hz. The interaction between electric field intensity and pulse frequency was found to have a significant role in extraction. Both electro-per- meabilization and temperature increase from treatment caused some polygodial leaching from the leaves prior to sol- vent extraction. The study revealed that PEF at low electric field intensity and high frequency is the most effective way to achieve higher solvent extraction yield while minimizing the effect of leaching. The maximum improvement was obtained when PEF at 5 kV/cm and 800 Hz for 348 s were applied, giving a polygodial extraction yield of about 16.6% higher than that of non-PEF treated leaves.

Isn’t Candida a normal part of our digestive tract? And how do I know if Candida is even a problem for me? Chances are that you’ve heard of Candida before and you or someone you know are wondering if your health challenges are related to an overgrowth of this common organism. You may even realize that a history of antibiotic use, recurrent yeast infections, terrible skin rashes, vaginal itching, or a whitish coating in your mouth may all be related to excessive Candida.

    Antibacterial effects of New Zealand plant extracts against mycobacteria A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Molecular Microbiology At Victoria University of Wellington By Emma Anne Earl School of Biological Sciences Victoria University of Wellington New Zealand 2010 ABSTRACT Mycobacterium tuberculosis , the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) has infected approximately 1/3 of the world population, with 9.4 million new TB cases in 2008. In addition to increased cases of drug-resistant strains it is vital that novel antitubercular compounds are discovered in order to treat infections and reduce the time of current TB therapy courses. Natural resources such as plants are now being considered as the focus for discovering new compounds. Plants have long been investigated as a source of antibiotics for the treatment of human disease. New Zealand (NZ) contains a unique and diverse flora; however, to current knowledge no native plants have been examined for antimycobacterial activity. Using ethnobotany as a basis for selection, a total of 58 native plant samples were collected and tested for direct antimycobacterial activity. Samples were extracted with sterile distilled water (SDW), ethanol (EtOH) or methanol (MeOH) and screened for inhibition against the surrogate species, Mycobacterium smegmatis . Active plant samples were then validated for bacteriostatic activity towards M. bovis BCG and M. tuberculosis H37Ra as well as other clinically-important species. Nine extracts from the species Laurelia novae-zelandiae , Lophomyrtus bullata , Metrosideros excelsa , Myoporum laetum , Pittosporum tenuifolium , Pseudopanax crassifolius and Pseudowintera colorata were found to be active against M. smegmatis . Two active extracts were the bark and cambium extracts of Laurelia novae-zelandiae (Pukatea), which were reportedly used by indigenous M āori for the treatment of tubercular lesions.

  • 4| the Plant Lists
    Native Vegetation for North Marlborough | A PLANTING & RESTORATION GUIDE 4| THE PLANT LISTS - USING THIS GUIDE North Marlborough is rich in native plant species, especially forest and coastal plants and including many rare, threatened or otherwise notable species. For this guide, a selection has been made of species that are widely known, typically available from local nurseries specialising in natives and – if well planted and cared for – can be grown successfully. Many other species are suitable for native restoration projects. For those taking on large-scale plantings, interested in propagating or ecosourcing their own plant material or particularly enthusiastic about North Marlborough flora, extra information is available from the Department of Conservation, Nelson. Once you have clarified the purpose of your planting and studied conditions at your chosen site, the following lists can be used to select suitable plant species according to ecological district, site conditions and personal preferences (such as growth form, height at maturity, attractiveness to birds and rarity). THE PLANT LISTS There are eight lists of plants altogether. The first three relate to different geographical areas in North Marlborough: Inland North Marlborough, Inner Sounds and Outer Sounds. These are shown on the map and also give a rough guide as to where plants should ideally be sourced from to ensure that ecosourcing principles are maintained. If it is not possible to obtain plants from within their own area, plants from elsewhere in North Marlborough should be used rather than plants from other parts of New Zealand. 36 | Native Vegetation for North Marlborough | A PLANTING & RESTORATION GUIDE The fourth and fifth lists identify plants most suited to coastal and wetland environments.
