| host response of ornamental palms to rotylenchulus reniformis. | the responses of 20 species of ornamental palms and one cycad (cycas revoluta) to two populations of the reniform nematode, rotylenchulus reniformis, from southern florida were studied in two greenhouse experiments conducted in 1989-1991 and 1991-92. ornamental palms in pots were exposed to initial population densities of 400 and 1,500 r. reniformis/l00 cm(3) soil for 16 and 15 months, respectively. nematode reproduction occurred on acoelorrhaphe wrightii and washingtonia robusta, but not on the ... | 1994 | 19279956 |
| antioxidant capacities and total phenolic contents of 56 wild fruits from south china. | in order to identify wild fruits possessing high nutraceutical potential, the antioxidant activities of 56 wild fruits from south china were systematically evaluated. the fat-soluble components were extracted with tetrahydrofuran, and the water-soluble ones were extracted with a 50:3.7:46.3 (v/v) methanol-acetic acid-water mixture. the antioxidant capacities of the extracts were evaluated using the ferric reducing antioxidant power (frap) and trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (teac) assays, ... | 2010 | 21116229 |
| [investigation on emission properties of biogenic vocs of landscape plants in shenzhen]. | isoprene and monoterpene emissions were characterized using flow and enclosure sampling method and gc-ms in usa for 158 species of plants growing in shenzhen, china. this survey was designed to include all of the dominant plants within the shenzhen region as well as unique plants such as cycads. these are the first measurements in a subtropical asian metropolis. substantial isoprene emissions were observed from thirty-one species, including caryota mitis, adenanthera pavonina var. microsperma, m ... | 2011 | 22468517 |
| identification and characterization of a pan-allergen profilin, a major allergen from caryota mitis pollen. | caryota mitis is a common plant in tropical and subtropical areas. it produces larger amount of pollen, which has great potential for allergenicity in the pollination season. | 2014 | 24641289 |
| effects of caryota mitis profilin-loaded plga nanoparticles in a murine model of allergic asthma. | pollen allergy is the most common allergic disease. however, tropical pollens, such as those of palmae, have seldom been investigated compared with the specific immunotherapy studies done on hyperallergenic birch, olive, and ragweed pollens. although poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (plga) has been extensively applied as a biodegradable polymer in medical devices, it has rarely been utilized as a vaccine adjuvant to prevent and treat allergic disease. in this study, we investigated the immunotherap ... | 2013 | 24376349 |
