| fungal planet description sheets: 400-468. | novel species of fungi described in the present study include the following from australia: vermiculariopsiella eucalypti, mulderomyces natalis (incl. mulderomyces gen. nov.), fusicladium paraamoenum, neotrimmatostroma paraexcentricum, and pseudophloeospora eucalyptorum on leaves of eucalyptus spp., anungitea grevilleae (on leaves of grevillea sp.), pyrenochaeta acaciae (on leaves of acacia sp.), and brunneocarpos banksiae (incl. brunneocarpos gen. nov.) on cones of banksia attenuata. novel foli ... | 2016 | 27616795 |

| phytochemical screening, proximate analysis and antioxidant activity of dracaena reflexa lam. leaves. | in the present study, the antioxidant activity of successive leaf extracts of dracaena reflexa was investigated using the scavenging activity on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl and reducing power by ferric reducing antioxidant power assay. methanol extract was found potent in both the assays. ic50 values of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl assay for methanol extract was 0.97 mg/ml and ferric reducing antioxidant power value for the same is 1.19. phytochemical screening, proximate analysis and total p ... | 2017 | 26798184 |
| organic wastes to enhance phyto-treatment of diesel-contaminated soil. | toxic inorganic and organic chemicals are major contributors to environmental contamination and pose major health risks to human population. in this work, dracaena reflexa and podocarpus polystachyus were investigated for their potential to remove hydrocarbons from 2.5% and 1% diesel fuel-contaminated soil amended individually with 5% organic wastes (tea leaf, soy cake and potato skin) for a period of 270 days. loss of 90% and 99% oil was recorded in soil contaminated with 2.5% and 1% oil with s ... | 2013 | 24025373 |
| functional morphology, biomechanics and biomimetic potential of stem-branch connections in dracaena reflexa and freycinetia insignis. | branching in plants is one of the most important assets for developing large arborescent growth forms with complex crowns. while the form and development of branching in gymnosperms and dicotyledonous trees is widely understood, very little is known about branching patterns and the structure of branch-stem-junctions in arborescent monocotyledons. for a better and quantitative understanding of the functional morphology of branch-stem-junctions in arborescent monocotyledons, we investigated the tw ... | 2011 | 21977429 |
| phyto-enhanced remediation of soil co-contaminated with lead and diesel fuel using biowaste and dracaena reflexa: a laboratory study. | in phytoremediation of co-contaminated soil, the simultaneous and efficient remediation of multiple pollutants is a major challenge rather than the removal of pollutants. a laboratory-scale experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of 5% addition of each of three different organic waste amendments (tea leaves, soy cake, and potato skin) to enhance the phytoaccumulation of lead (60 mg kg(-1)) and diesel fuel (25,000 mg kg(-1)) in co-contaminated soil by dracaena reflexa lam for a period ... | 2016 | 26675494 |
