Abstract An updated inventory of Brazilian seed plants is presented and offers important insights into the country's biodiversity. This work started in 2010, with publication Plants Fungi Catalogue, has been since by more than 430 specialists working online. Brazil home to 32,086 native Angiosperms 23 Gymnosperms, showing an increase 3% its species richness relation 2010. The Amazon Rainforest richest biome for while Atlantic one Angiosperms. There was a considerable increment number...
Abstract The Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) was established by the Conference of Parties in 2002 to decrease loss plant diversity, reduce poverty and contribute sustainable development. To achieve this overarching goal, GSPC has a series targets, one which is ensure that diversity well understood, so it can be effectively conserved used manner. Brazil hosts more than 46,000 species plants, algae fungi, representing most biodiverse countries on Earth, playing key role GSPC....
Abstract The shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description biological taxa and understanding biodiversity patterns processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant impediment to research conservation planning. crisis are widely recognized, highlighting urgent need for data. Over past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort Target 1 Global Strategy Plant Conservation (GSPC), which...
Lauraceae are a diverse family of the Neotropical flora that have recently undergone extensive taxonomic changes in delimitation genera. Here we review 30 currently accepted genera based on combination vegetative and reproductive characters, with focus floral characters. We present an identification key, as well diagnostic descriptions, number species, distribution, phylogenetic information for
The chemodiversity of plants is a valuable resource for drug discovery, and its combination with modern approaches can reduce the time consumption bioactive metabolite discovery. This study aimed to evaluate chemical constituents from 18 plant species different families against leukemia cancer cells application statistical analysis metabolomic data molecular networking prediction metabolites. samples, extracted by an accelerated solvent extractor using ethanol water 7:3 (v/v), were analyzed...
Foodborne pathogens are a real public health concern in an escalating antimicrobial resistance scenario. Natural products represent promising source of bioactive molecules, and essential oils have attracted much attention due to their myriad biological properties, including antibacterial activities. In this context, obtained from the leaves Chromolaena squalida, Campomanesia sessiliflora, Myrsine guianensis, Matayba Siparuna Ocotea minarum Endlicheria paniculata—species Cerrado biome Midwest...
Dipterygeae traditionally comprised the genera Dipteryx (12 species), Pterodon (three species) and Taralea (seven but Monopteryx species; originally in tribe Sophoreae) emerged recent molecular phylogenetic studies as sister to clade comprising Dipteryx, Taralea. This study aimed evaluate anatomical vegetative characters of leaflets highlight (1) new synapomorphies for clade, (2) supporting intergeneric relationships currently resolved by data, (3) diagnostic taxonomy at genus species levels...
Tabebuia aurea (Silva Manso) Benth. & Hook. f. ex S. Moore is used as anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiophidic in traditional medicine, though its pharmacological proprieties are still underexplored. In the bothropic envenoming, pain a key symptom drove by an intense local inflammatory neurotoxic event. The antivenom serum therapy main treatment despite poor effects against tissue injury. Furthermore, it limited to ambulatorial niches, giving space for search of new more inclusive...
Annona muricata Linn, commonly known as graviola, is one of the most popular plants used in Brazil for weight loss. The aim this study to evaluate therapeutic effects three different doses (50 mg/kg, 100 and 150 mg/kg) aqueous graviola leaf extract (AGE) supplemented by oral gavage, on obese C57BL/6 mice. Food intake, body weight, an glucose tolerance test (OGTT), insulin sensitivity test, quantification adipose tissue cytokines, fat pads, serum biochemical histological analyses liver,...
New antileishmanias are needed because of toxicity, high cost and resistance problems associated with available drugs. Nectandra (Lauraceae) produces several classes compounds but its essential oil has not previously been reported to have antileishmania activity.We evaluated the cytotoxicity activity oils from amazonum Nees, N. gardneri Meisn., hihua (Ruiz & Pav.) Rohwer megapotamica (Spreng.) Mez.Nectandra were extracted stem bark/leaves by hydrodistillation identified GC-MS. Oils tested...
Essential oils, mixtures of volatile compounds, are targets research for new antimicrobial drugs. In order to verify the potential from species Nectandra genus, present study evaluated essential oils amazonum, cuspidata, gardineri, hihua and megapotamica prospect samples with high concentration a component its antibacterial, antibiofilm anti-Trichomonas vaginalis activities. The leaves barks were extracted by steam distillation analyzed gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry (GC-MS)....
Resumo Aspidosperma compreende 55 espécies, das quais 41 ocorrem no Brasil. A maior riqueza está na região Centro-Oeste com 28 espécies. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo contribuir para o conhecimento da diversidade de Mato Grosso do Sul. Baseou-se análise amostras coletadas em 22 expedições campo, visitas e consultas online aos herbários. No estado, gênero representado por 14 quirandy A. verbascifolium foram descritas pela primeira vez estudo são apresentadas: chave identificação as...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects two different doses (250 and 500 mg/kg) Morinda citrifolia fruit aqueous extract (AE) in high-fat/high-fructose-fed Swiss mice. food intake, body weight, serum biochemical, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), as well histological analyses liver, pancreatic, epididymal adipose tissue, were used determine biochemical parameters. chemical profile determined by ultra-fast liquid...
Background: Studies indicate that different parts of Carica papaya Linn have nutritional properties mean it can be used as an adjuvant for the treatment various pathologies. Methods: The fatty acid composition oil extracted from seeds was evaluated by gas chromatography, and acute toxicity test performed. For experiment, Swiss mice were fed a balanced or high-fat diet supplemented with saline, soybean oil, olive seed oil. Oral glucose tolerance insulin sensitivity tests After euthanasia,...
The Serra da Bodoquena National Park is an important protected area that promotes the conservation of a threatened ecosystem, Dry Forest. It comprises two major fragments predominantly Seasonally Forest vegetation. are under different protection schemes because they considered biomes. southern fragment part Atlantic biome, and thus by Law, while northern one Cerrado biome Native Vegetation Protection Law Brazil (2012). This difference affects management threatens Park. more permissive,...
O trabalho apresenta o estudo taxonômico das espécies do gênero Nectandra no Mato Grosso Sul, Brasil. Baseados na análise morfológica dos espécimes coletados em diferentes regiões Estado são confirmados oito de Nectandra: N. amazonum Nees, cissiflora cuspidata falcifolia (Nees) J.A. Castigl. ex Mart. Crov. & Piccinini, gardneri Meisn., hihua (Ruiz Pav.) Rohwer, megapotamica (Spreng.) Mez e psammophila Nees. É fornecida uma chave identificação para as apresentados descrições morfológicas,...
Although the Mezilaurus clade has been retrieved in recent molecular phylogenetic studies as monophyletic Lauraceae, unique shared vegetative or reproductive structural traits which could be used to circumscribe this identify its members field have not identified. Using light and scanning electron microscopy, we thus compared diversity of leaf anatomical features all six genera currently (Lauraceae), with aim finding novel support circumscriptions relationships Anaueria Chlorocardium, form a...
