| pharmacognostic and phytochemical studies on ficus microcarpa l. fil. | ficus microcarpa l. fil. (syn: ficus retusa) (moraceae) is well-known traditional medicinal plant. the bark is used for diverse health ailments in traditional and folklore remedies. | 2012 | 24167337 |
| the dust retention capacities of urban vegetation-a case study of guangzhou, south china. | urban vegetation increasingly plays an important role in the improvement of the urban atmospheric environment. this paper deals with the dust retention capacities of four urban tree species (ficus virens var. sublanceolata, ficus microcarpa, bauhinia blakeana, and mangifera indica linn) in guangzhou. the dust-retaining capacities of four tree species are studied under different pollution intensities and for different seasons. remote sensing imagery was used to estimate the total aboveground urba ... | 2013 | 23608974 |
| development of 15 polymorphic microsatellite markers for ficus virens (moraceae). | ficus virens (moraceae) is distributed widely in south and southeast asia, melanesia, and northern australia, and it is also cultivated outside its original northern range limit in southwestern china. therefore, the species is well suited to explore the mechanism of range limits of ficus species. however, little is known about its genetic background. | 2017 | 28090407 |
| water transport in leaf vein systems and the flow velocity measurement with a new method. | as an exploration to the nature, research about plants' physiological properties have never been suspended. water transport in leaf vein systems is an essential part of plant growth and development. in this paper, a simple but efficient method combined the fluorescence labeling technology frequently used in bioresearch and the image-processing technology in the computer realm was developed to measure the flow velocity, which was used as a quantitative description to reveal the regulation of wate ... | 2016 | 27526337 |
| bioactivity guided fractionation and hypolipidemic property of a novel hmg-coa reductase inhibitor from ficus virens ait. | the current perspective for the search of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme a (hmg-coa) reductase inhibitor has been shifted towards a natural agent also having antioxidant property. thus, this study was intended to isolate and identify the bioactive compounds from methanolic extract of ficus virens bark (fvbm) and to evaluate their antioxidant, hmg-coa reductase inhibitory and hypolipidemic activity. | 2015 | 25884722 |
| condensed tannins from ficus virens as tyrosinase inhibitors: structure, inhibitory activity and molecular mechanism. | condensed tannins from ficus virens leaves, fruit, and stem bark were isolated and their structures characterized by 13c nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, high performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. the results showed that the leaves, fruit, and stem bark condensed tannins were complex mixtures of homo- and heteropolymers of b-type procyanidins and prodelphinidins with d ... | 2014 | 24637701 |
| an in vitro and molecular informatics study to evaluate the antioxidative and β-hydroxy-β-methylglutaryl-coa reductase inhibitory property of ficus virens ait. | the present study is initially intended to evaluate antioxidant and β-hydroxy-β-methylglutaryl-coa reductase (hmgr) inhibitory property of ficus virens ait., first by in vitro analyses followed by a corroboratory molecular informatics study. our results show that of all the sequentially extracted fraction of f. virens bark and leaves extract, f. virens bark methanol extract exhibits strong radical scavenging, antioxidant and oxidative dna damage protective activity, which is well correlated with ... | 2014 | 24151056 |
| optimization of extraction of phenolics from leaves of ficus virens. | in this research, the conditions for extraction of phenolics from leaves of ficus virens were optimized using response surface methodology (rsm). the extraction abilities of phenolics (eap) and flavonoids (eaf), the 2,2-diphenyl-1-pierylhydrazyl (dpph) free-radical scavenging potential, and the ferric reducing/antioxidant power (frap) were used as quality indicators. the results of single-factor experiments showed that temperature, ethanol concentration, extraction time, and the number of extrac ... | 2013 | 24101207 |
