The abandoned brick kiln are important habitat for the formation of mangrove community due to tidal action, loose silty substratum and less anthropogenic interference. In this context, the aim of the present study is to visualize how the structural and association pattern regulate the community dynamics of a mangrove ecosystem. \u0000Materials and Methods: The entire study area was divided into 37 units (Quadrats of 27.31 sq m). Structural parameters like density, relative density, abundance, relative abundance, frequency, relative basal area were measured based on vegetation map, prepared through satellite image and ground truthing. Association indices (Ochiai, Dice and Jaccard) were measured based on 2X2 contingency/species association table. \u0000Results: Out of 10 species under 10 genera and 9 families found in the present habitat, Sonneratia caseolaris is the only mangrove tree species with 155 individuals along with other mangrove associates like Cryptocoryne ciliata, Crinum viviparum, Acanthus ilicifolius and Denis scandens. The high importance value index of Sonneratia caseolaris, Cryptocoryne ciliata, and Crinum viviparum indicated their significant role in community formation. The strong positive association of these 3 species also suggests helping in developing community in stressed environment. \u0000Conclusion: Identification of such potential mangrove habitat and study of their community dynamics would be helpful to find out the nature of mangrove establishment for future afforestation programme of threatened mangrove species.","PeriodicalId":11848,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Biosciences","volume":"6 1","pages":"24-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5053/EJOBIOS.2012.6.0.3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70599600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present study, we describe a rapid and efficient callus production protocol for further studies that can be conducted on Amsonia orientalis such as secondary metabolite production and in vitro propagation. Materials and Methods: Mature nodal explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog media including 0.5 mg L 1 6-benzylaminopurine. Obtained shoots were subcultured on same fresh media supplemented with different (0.5, 1.0, 2.0 or 4.0 mg L 1 ) 6-benzylaminopurine concentrations. Explants from multiplied shoots were used for callusing experiments. Effects of various combinations of 6-benzylaminopurine, kinetin, indole-3-acetic acid and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid on callus production were tested. At the end of the incubation period calli were weighted and means were compared using Duncan's multiple range test. Results: When compared to others, all concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in combination with 6-benzylaminopurine were found to be the most effective on callus induction. Maximum mean callus weight of 0.327±0.07 g/callus was found at media supplemented with 0.5 mg L 1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 0.5 mg L 1 6-benzylaminopurine in combination. Furthermore, higher kinetin concentrations caused production of fragile calli which are frequently used to initiate cell cultures. Conclusions: The results have shown that media enriched with indole-3-acetic acid+kinetin combinations are more suitable for fragile calli production while media supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid+6-benzylaminopurine combinations provide large but compact callus tissues. The findings will contribute to the establishment of cell suspension cultures.","PeriodicalId":11848,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Biosciences","volume":"105 1","pages":"105-112"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5053/EJOBIOS.2012.6.0.13","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70599453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Industrial activities result in heavy metal pollution of large areas of land, which greatly affects natural vegetation. Understanding the mechanism of how plants combat heavy metals adverse effects is hence of great importance. \u0000Materials and Methods: Two different localities were chosen; one locality was in the vicinity of gypsum factory and the other one was 25 km away from the factory. Two Zygophyllum species (Z. album and Z. coccineum) were naturally grown in the studied areas. The effects of soil heavy metal stress on shoot heavy metal concentrations, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzyme activities and the root plasma membrane (PM) lipid composition were analyzed. Results: Heavy metal concentrations and Lipid peroxidation increased in the shoot of both species grown in the polluted area. The activities of ascorbate oxidase (ASO), guaiacal peroxidase (GPX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were increased whereas these of catalase (CAT) were decreased in both species under the polluted conditions. PM total lipids, phospholipids, glycolipids and sterols were decreased in Z. album and Z. coccineum as a result of the polluted soil. Heavy metal stress increased phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and decreased phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phophatidylglycerol (PG), with no significant change in phosphatidylcholine (PC) in the root PM of both species. Phosphatidylserine (PS) decreased in the PM of Z. album whereas it increased in the PM of Z. coccineum under the pollution conditions. Heavy metal stress changed the composition and concentration of fatty acids of the root PM, resulting in increased sat/unsat ratio of both species. \u0000Conclusion: the results suggest that efficient antioxidant machinery and favorable PM lipid homeostasis are important to enable Zygophyllum species to withstand the prevailing heavy metal stress.","PeriodicalId":11848,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Biosciences","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5053/EJOBIOS.2012.6.0.1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70598910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of more than 400 plant species known to be likely hosts for the lac insect, about 113 host species are found to be successfully infested by the lac insect in India. Architecture of the plant tissue might be a crucial factor for these sap feeders, because for successful establishment, the insect has to pierce the plant tissue to reach the feeding site, viz., the phloem or the xylem tissue. \u0000Materials and Methods: Twenty-two diverse host plant taxa classified on the basis of lac yield and insect preference were considered. Anatomical and statistical studies were conducted using distance to the phloem from the stem periphery as a parameter. \u0000Results: Statistical observations showed that host preference and lac yield is independent of phloem distance. \u0000Conclusions: Other factors such as the contents of carbon, nitrogen, or certain secondary metabolites present in the host plant may be involved in lac insect-plant interaction, which warrant further investigation.","PeriodicalId":11848,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Biosciences","volume":"6 1","pages":"32-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5053/EJOBIOS.2012.6.0.4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70599767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In folk medicine, extracts of the roots and fruits of the plant have been used for the treatment of digestive disorders, healing scars, and to stop bleeding. In the present work, we report the presence of some phenolic compounds from the aerial parts of the plant. \u0000Materials and Methods: The air-dried powder of Prangos ferulaceae leaves were Soxhlet extracted, successively, with n-hexane, dichloromethane, and methanol. A portion of concentrated residue of methanol extract was fractionated with an SPE-C18 cartridge using different mixtures of methanolwater. The 40% methanol fraction was analyzed by preparative HPLC using a methanol and water gradient to afford 4 compounds. \u0000Results: The purified compounds using preparative HPLC were: a glucosilated coumarin, celereoside and three flavonoids, quercetin 3-O-β-glucoside, isorhamnetin 3-O-β-glucoside, and isorhamnetin 3-O-glucorhamnoside. The structures of the isolated compounds were elucidated by UV, IR, 1D, and 2 D NMR spectral data. Quercetin glucoside and isorhamnetin glucoside exhibited strong antioxidant activity in the DPPH test with an RC50 value of 36.2 and 64.4 μg/mL respectively. \u0000Conclusions: It can be concluded that the P. ferulaceae aerial parts contain antioxidant flavonoids and furanocoumarins and that the plants bioactivities and medicinal potential might be attributed to presence of these compounds.","PeriodicalId":11848,"journal":{"name":"Eurasian Journal of Biosciences","volume":"6 1","pages":"91-96"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5053/EJOBIOS.2012.6.0.11","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70599802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, green campuses have become rare places where the characteristics of the area flora can be observed. In this context, the aim of the present study is to identify the floral richness of the campus of the Buca Faculty of Education (BEF), an important floristic area within the city of Izmir, and to clarify how this richness is used in the educational processes. \u0000Method: The study was carried out between the periods 2008-2010. Plants growing on the BEF Campus constitute the research material. Plants growing on the campus were examined, necessary samples were collected. After the determination of plants, how they were used in B.Sc, M.Sc. and Ph.D. classes was investigated. For this purpose, interviews were performed with seven teaching staff from the Buca Faculty of Education Department of Biology. \u0000Results: A total of 108 plant taxa belonging to 52 families were identified in the campus area. Further study of the families showed that the family Rosaceae is represented by the highest number of taxa, fourteen, followed by Fabaceae represented by nine taxa. In addition, according to opinions of the academic staff, different ways of using such plants in training were identified and discussed. \u0000Conclusion: A principal conclusion to be drawn is that a general programme in Applied Biology and Ethnobotany should be made available to all students. When the increase of plant usage for medicinal purposes in recent years is taken into consideration, field studies related especially to ethnobotany can be a very useful specialisation for M.Sc. and Ph.D. students.
