  • Chemistry, Spectroscopic Characteristics and Biological Activity of Natural Occurring Cardiac Glycosides
    IOSR Journal of Biotechnology and Biochemistry (IOSR-JBB) ISSN: 2455-264X, Volume 2, Issue 6 Part: II (Sep. – Oct. 2016), PP 20-35 www.iosrjournals.org Chemistry, spectroscopic characteristics and biological activity of natural occurring cardiac glycosides Marzough Aziz DagerAlbalawi1* 1 Department of Chemistry, University college- Alwajh, University of Tabuk, Saudi Arabia Abstract:Cardiac glycosides are organic compounds containing two types namely Cardenolide and Bufadienolide. Cardiac glycosides are found in a diverse group of plants including Digitalis purpurea and Digitalis lanata (foxgloves), Nerium oleander (oleander),Thevetiaperuviana (yellow oleander), Convallariamajalis (lily of the valley), Urgineamaritima and Urgineaindica (squill), Strophanthusgratus (ouabain),Apocynumcannabinum (dogbane), and Cheiranthuscheiri (wallflower). In addition, the venom gland of cane toad (Bufomarinus) contains large quantities of a purported aphrodisiac substance that has resulted in cardiac glycoside poisoning.Therapeutic use of herbal cardiac glycosides continues to be a source of toxicity today. Recently, D.lanata was mistakenly substituted for plantain in herbal products marketed to cleanse the bowel; human toxicity resulted. Cardiac glycosides have been also found in Asian herbal products and have been a source of human toxicity.The most important use of Cardiac glycosides is its affects in treatment of cardiac failure and anticancer agent for several types of cancer. The therapeutic benefits of digitalis were first described by William Withering in 1785. Initially, digitalis was used to treat dropsy, which is an old term for edema. Subsequent investigations found that digitalis was most useful for edema that was caused by a weakened heart. Digitalis compounds have historically been used in the treatment of chronic heart failure owing to their cardiotonic effect.

  • Diversity in Host Preference of Rotylenchus Spp. Y.S
    International Journal of Science, Environment ISSN 2278-3687 (O) and Technology, Vol. 7, No 5, 2018, 1786 – 1793 2277-663X (P) DIVERSITY IN HOST PREFERENCE OF ROTYLENCHUS SPP. Y.S. Rathore Principal Scientist (Retd.), Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur -208024 (U.P.) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Species of the genus Rotylenchus are ecto- or semi-endo parasites and feed on roots of their host plants. In the study it was found that 50% species of Rotylenchus were monophagous and mostly on plants in the clade Rosids followed by monocots, Asterids and gymnosperms. In general, Rosids and Asterids combined parasitized more than 50% host species followed by monocots. Though food preference was species specific but by and large woody plants were preferred from very primitive families like Magnoliaceae and Lauraceae to representatives of advanced families. Woody plants like pines and others made a substantial contribution in the host range of Rotylenchus. Maximum number of Rotylenchus species harboured plants in families Poaceae (monocots), Rosaceae (Rosids) and Oleaceae (Asterids) followed by Fabaceae, Fagaceae, Asteraceae and Pinaceae. It is, therefore, suggested that agricultural crops should be grown far away from wild vegetation and forest plantations. Keywords: Rotylenchus, Magnoliids, Rosids, Asterids, Gymnosperms, Host preference. INTRODUCTION Species of the genus Rotylenchus (Nematoda: Haplolaimidae) are migratory ectoparasites and browse on the surface of roots. The damage caused by them is usually limited to necrosis of penetrated cells (1). However, species with longer stylet penetrate to tissues more deeply and killing more cells and called as semi-endoparasites (2,3). The genus contains 97 nominal species which parasitize on a wide range of wild and cultivated plants worldwide (3).

  • The Evolution of Bat Pollination: a Phylogenetic Perspective
    Annals of Botany 104: 1017–1043, 2009 doi:10.1093/aob/mcp197, available online at www.aob.oxfordjournals.org INVITED REVIEW The evolution of bat pollination: a phylogenetic perspective Theodore H. Fleming1,*, Cullen Geiselman2 and W. John Kress3 1Emeritus, Department of Biology, University of Miami, Coral Gables, FL 33124, USA, 2Institute of Systematic Botany, The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY 10458, USA and 3Department of Botany, MRC-166, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, PO Box 37012, Washington, DC 20013-7012, USA Received: 2 April 2009 Returned for revision: 27 May 2009 Accepted: 13 July 2009 Published electronically: 29 September 2009 † Background Most tropical and subtropical plants are biotically pollinated, and insects are the major pollinators. A small but ecologically and economically important group of plants classified in 28 orders, 67 families and about 528 species of angiosperms are pollinated by nectar-feeding bats. From a phylogenetic perspective this is a derived pollination mode involving a relatively large and energetically expensive pollinator. Here its ecologi- cal and evolutionary consequences are explored. Downloaded from † Scope and Conclusions This review summarizes adaptations in bats and plants that facilitate this interaction and discusses the evolution of bat pollination from a plant phylogenetic perspective. Two families of bats contain specialized flower visitors, one in the Old World and one in the New World. Adaptation to pollination by bats has evolved independently many times from a variety of ancestral conditions, including insect-, bird- and non-volant mammal-pollination. Bat pollination predominates in very few families but is relatively common in certain angiosperm subfamilies and tribes.

  • Pan-Plant Ribopool Universal, Efficient Ribosomal RNA Depletion for Flowering Plants (Angiosperms)
    Pan-Plant riboPOOL Universal, Efficient Ribosomal RNA Depletion For Flowering Plants (Angiosperms) Efficient rRNA depletion tool Targets 28S, 18S, 5.8S & 5S rRNA Broad coverage of flowering plants Targets mitochondrial rRNA For leaf, seed & root tissue Targets plastid rRNA The high abundance of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) limits detection efficiency of relevant RNAs of the transcriptome by RNA-Seq. The Pan-Plant riboPOOL offers a universal solution to selectively deplete cytoplasmic (28S, 18S, 5.8S & 5S), plastid and mitochondrial rRNA of flowering plants in leaf, seed and root tissue. Wide Species Coverage of Pan-Plant riboPOOL The Pan-Plant riboPOOL consists of a highly complex mixture of biotinylated oligos, designed to optimally cover major phyla of flowering plants. Liliales The Pan-Plant riboPOOL depletes rRNA Apsparagales Laurales for more than 30 orders: Zingiberales Nymphaeales Poales · Rice · Jatropha · Soy Bean Vitales Magnoliids · Potato · Cotton · Coffee Ranunculales Cucurbitales Monocots Proteales · Carrot · Artichoke · Olive Rosales · Arabidopsis · Corn · Aster Fabales Caryophyllales Eudicots · Wheat · Apple · Orange Rosids Solanales Malpighiales · Buckwheat · and more Asterids Gentianales Lamiales Malvales Asterales Brassicales Myrtales *If your species is not within these phyla, Apiales Sapindales please enquire about our custom riboPOOLs.
