Plants growing in the industrial areas and near major roads absorb pollutants at their foliar surface. In this paper, histological changes induced by air (from a cement factory combined with pollution generated human activities) Lotus corniculatus L., Trifolium montanum T. pratense L. repens leaves were followed. Some plant species have been identified to be able absorb, detoxify tolerate high levels of pollution. The tolerance degree is indirectly correlated intensity injuries that occur...
This study reports on the inhibitory and bactericidal properties of a new synthetized flavonoid.Tricyclic flavonoid 1 has been synthesized through two-step reaction sequence. The antimicrobial effects were tested using minimum concentration (MIC) (MBC) assays. Also DNA fragmentation assay, fluorescence microscopy SEM used to mechanism action. Our displayed strong activity with MIC MBC values as low 0·24 μg ml(-1) against Staphylococcus aureus 3·9 Escherichia coli. Flavonoid properties,...
The need to use environmentally friendly substances in agriculture for pest control has become increasingly urgent recent years. This was generated by humanity’s awareness of the harmful effects chemicals with increased persistence, which accumulated nature and harmed living beings. Essential oils are among most important biopesticides could significantly contribute expansion ecological agriculture, replacing traditional methods. However, judicious use, it is necessary have a thorough...
The emergence of pathogenic multidrug-resistant bacteria demands new approaches in finding effective antibacterial agents. Synthetic flavonoids could be a reliable solution due to their important antimicrobial activity. We report here the potent vitro activity ClCl-flav—a novel synthetic tricyclic flavonoid. effects were tested using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), time kill and biofilm formation assays. Fluorescence microscopy scanning electron employed study mechanism action. MTT...
Abstract In this study the glandular hair morphology, chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of essential oils from three Ocimum species have been investigated (Ocimum basilicum L. var. Genovese, O. gratissimum tenuiflorum). The indumentum shows little variation among with both non-glandular hairs presents. Glandular on are peltate capitate (with various cell numbers in stalk gland). samples obtained plant aerial organs by hydrodistillation analyzed GC-MS. Linalool (65.38%, 74.22%,...
Biopesticides, alongside the expansive growth of conventional agriculture, emerged as a hopeful avenue for mitigating environmental impact synthetic chemicals. Essential oils derived from various plant species are regarded environmentally friendly and have been suggested by numerous researchers combating pest species. However, in addition to their detrimental effects on harmful species, these essential exert varying degrees non-target with which they share ecological relationships. This...
The boxwood leafminer Monarthropalpus flavus (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) has historically been considered a leafminer, but some researchers suggested it induced galls on Buxus species leaves. larvae of M. create small blister-like sempervirens leaves, causing tissue hypertrophy and hyperplasia. Histological examination reveals that cause the formation blister galls, which involve reorganization in mesophyll. Unlike typical leafminers, only disrupt existing tissues, induces appearance neo-formed...
In this paper, the applications of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) in plant histology and anatomy research are highlighted. Traditionally, SEM is used biology to analyze surfaces various vegetative reproductive organs order investigate micromorphological aspects. Vegetative from 12 species angiosperms habitats Romania were analyzed (Adonis vernalis L., Primula halleri J.F.Gmel., Oxytropis Bunge et. Koch, campestris (L.) DC, Pulsatilla alpina Chaz., Gentiana acaulis Ranunculus montanus...
Plant species in the Lamiaceae family are known worldwide for their therapeutic potential, conferred particular by great diversity of essential oils they produce. Although much less and cultivated than “star” this family, Salvia yangii (formerly Perovskia atriplicifolia) presents special potential both medicinally as an ornamental due to its abilities withstand conditions unfavorable other related species. This paper explores specialized literature from a bibliometric comprehensive point...
Bioplastics are biobased materials, usually easy biodegradable, derived from renewable resources.Evolution of bioplastics production is related to: bio starch and mixtures (74.5%); bioplastic products fermentation (13%), petrochemicals materials (12.5%).They seen as a viable solution to avoid some environmental impacts caused by the use fossil-based conventional plastics.In this context, general objectives study entail analysis selection optimal alternative able be used for packaging...
The purpose of this paper is to highlight the morphological peculiarities glandular and non-glandular trichomes from leaves Phlomis herba-venti subsp. Pungens using light, confocal, scanning electron microscopy. Histochemistry techniques were used analyze localization different chemical compounds in secretory trichomes. Two types identified: unicellular branched. They found more frequently on lower epidermis stages ontogenetic development. Glandular categorized as capitate (C1 C2) with stalk...
Rubus species are affected by the gall inducer Lasioptera rubi (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), which produces galls predominantly on stem but sometimes also petiole. The presence of these neo-structures at level can affect their survival and implicit production in raspberry crops. purpose present study is to achieve first detailed description histological morphological peculiarities galls, great variability from points view. Three morphotypes were described produced stem, depending position larval...
