Available Online: 01st April, 2016 ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate antimicrobial and antifungal activities of crude extracts from leaves and flower of Halimium halimifolium, and compared with those of Cistus salviifolius and Cistus monspeliensis. The tested plants (leaves and flowers) were extracted with ethanol, the activities were screened against three Gram-positive (Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus subtilis and staphylococcus aureus), three Gram-negative bacteria (Salmonella enteric, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli), and two pathogenic fungi (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger). The efficacy of these extracts was tested against those microorganisms through a disc-diffusion method employing 15 휇L of each sample per paper discs (6 mm in diameter). Comparable results were carried out using Gentamicin and Amphotericin as standard antibiotics. Ethanol extracts of different parts of plant exhibited good activity against all microorganisms tested.

  • Host Specificity in the Parasitic Plant Cytinus Hypocistis
    Hindawi Publishing Corporation Research Letters in Ecology Volume 2007, Article ID 84234, 4 pages doi:10.1155/2007/84234 Research Letter Host Specificity in the Parasitic Plant Cytinus hypocistis C. J. Thorogood and S. J. Hiscock School of Biological Sciences, University of Bristol, Woodland Road, Bristol BS8 1UG, UK Correspondence should be addressed to C. J. Thorogood, [email protected] Received 2 September 2007; Accepted 14 December 2007 Recommended by John J. Wiens Host specificity in the parasitic plant Cytinus hypocistis was quantified at four sites in the Algarve region of Portugal from 2002 to 2007. The parasite was found to be locally host specific, and only two hosts were consistently infected: Halimium halimifolium and Cistus monspeliensis. C. hypocistis did not infect hosts in proportion to their abundance; at three sites, 100% of parasites occurred on H. halimifolium which represented just 42.4%, 3% and 19.7% of potential hosts available, respectively. At the remaining site, where H. halimifolium was absent, 100% of parasites occurred on C. monspeliensis which represented 81.1% of potential hosts available. Other species of potential host were consistently uninfected irrespective of their abundance. Ecological niche divergence of host plants H. halimifolium and C. monspeliensis may isolate host-specific races of C. hypocistis, thereby potentially driving al- lopatric divergence in this parasitic plant.

  • Green Technologies, Innovations and Practice in the Agricultural Sector
    Green Technologies, Innovations and Practice in the Agricultural Sector Shared Prosperity Dignified Life GREEN TECHNOLOGIES, INNOVATIONS AND PRACTICES IN THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR E/ESCWA/SDPD/2019/INF.8 The Arab region faces many challenges including severe water scarcity, rising population, increasing land degradation, aridity, unsustainable energy consumption, food insecurity and deficiency in waste management. These challenges are expected to worsen with the negative impact of climate change, the protracted crises plaguing the region and the rapidly changing consumption patterns. Some of these challenges, however, can still be mitigated with the judicious use of appropriate technologies, practices and innovative ideas so as to transform depleted, wasted or overlooked resources into new opportunities for revenue generation, livelihood improvement and resource sustainability. Innovation and technology are the main drivers of economic growth and societal transformation through enhanced efficiency, connectivity and access to resources and services. Yet, current growth models have led to environmental degradation and depletion of natural resources. Such environmental technologies and innovations may result in what is often referred to as “green technologies or practices” or “clean technologies”. These technologies and innovations may help bridge the gap between growth and sustainability as they reduce unfavorable effects on the environment, improve productivity, efficiency and operational performance. It is high time the region brought this

Gagnon Harbaugh Entrpreneurship Scholar & Entrepreneur Coordinator Andrew Lau Associate Professor of Engineering Rich Marini Professor of Horticulture Head of the Department of Horticulture *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii Abstract By the year 2050, the population of planet Earth is expected to reach over nine billion people. In the next 35 years, we will have the task of supporting an additional two billion lives on a planet that is already struggling to provide a stable and acceptable food supply as well as an effective means of food distribution. Estimates show that of the seven billion people living on planet Earth, 870 million suffer from hunger. The fight against world hunger is a complex, challenging, and multi-faceted issue that can only be fought through innovative solutions that address the multiple aspects comprising it. One of these aspects is simply limited access to food in urban neighborhoods and rural towns which are referred to as “food deserts”. These are prevalent throughout the United States and have resulted in food-insecure households. Solutions to limited access do exist today in the form of innovative growing on developed land.
