Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
06 Dec 2003 20:30 GMT
A Western security source says unknown armed men stopped the Indians' car at 4:00 pm (1130 GMT) around 10 kilometres (six miles) north of Shahjoy in southeast Afghanistan's troubled Zabul province.
The source, who requested anonymity told the AFP new agency that the Afghan driver of the vehicle was beaten and the armed men made off with the Indians and their car.
Shahjoy, 280 kilometres (175 miles) southwest of Kabul, is in the heart of Zabul province which has been wracked by violence blamed on Taliban fighters.
The Indians were working for the Indian BSC/C and C joint venture firm which is helping to rebuild the important Kabul-Kandahar road.
No further details are immediately available.
Their kidnapping comes less than a week after a Turkish road engineer was released after a month being held captive by Taliban who had demanded the release of fellow combatants held in Afghan jails.

Heavy metals toxicity in plants: An overview on the role of glutathione and phytochelatins in heavy metal stress tolerance of plants
Volume 76, Issue 2, April 2010, Pages 167-179
S. K. Yadav
Plants experience oxidative stress upon exposure to heavy metals that leads to cellular damage. In addition, plants accumulate metal ions that disturb cellular ionic homeostasis. To minimize the detrimental effects of heavy metal exposure and their accumulation, plants have evolved detoxification mechanisms. Such mechanisms are mainly based on chelation and subcellular compartmentalization. Chelation of heavy metals is a ubiquitous detoxification strategy described in wide variety of plants. A principal class of heavy metal chelator known in plants is phytochelatins (PCs), a family of Cys-rich peptides. PCs are synthesized non-translationally from reduced glutathione (GSH) in a transpeptidation reaction catalyzed by the enzyme phytochelatin synthase (PCS). Therefore, availability of glutathione is very essential for PCs synthesis in plants at least during their exposure to heavy metals. Here, I reviewed on effect of heavy metals exposure to plants and role of GSH and PCs in heavy metal stress tolerance. Further, genetic manipulations of GSH and PCs levels that help plants to ameliorate toxic effects of heavy metals have been presented. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Sites of synthesis, biochemistry and functional role of plant volatiles
Volume 76, Issue 4, October 2010, Pages 612-631
M. E. Maffei
All plants are able to emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and the content and composition of these molecules show both genotypic variation and phenotypic plasticity. VOCs are involved in plant-plant interactions and for the attraction of pollinating and predatory insects. The biochemistry and molecular biology of plant VOCs is vast and complex, including several biochemical pathways and hundreds of genes. In this review the site of synthesis, the biosynthesis and the functional role of VOCs are discussed. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Cadmium-induced oxidative damage in mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. & Coss.] plants can be alleviated by salicylic acid
Volume 77, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 36-44
P. Ahmad | G. Nabi | M. Ashraf | M. Ashraf
The present study was carried out to examine the effects of salicylic acid (SA) on growth, activities of antioxidant enzymes and some physio-biochemical attributes in mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. & Coss.] plants exposed to cadmium (Cd) stress. Increasing concentrations of Cd led to decreased growth, shoot biomass, relative water content (RWC) and rate of photosynthesis (A). SA allayed the adverse effects of Cd on growth, RWC, and A, but the inhibitory effect of Cd on stomatal conductance (gs) and transpiration rate (E) was further promoted due to SA treatment. Cadmium-induced oxidative stress increased proline, lipid peroxidation and electrolyte leakage, but on exposure to SA, these parameters showed a marked decrease. Lower concentrations of Cd caused enhanced Cd transport into the plant. Cadmium suppressed the uptake of macro- and micro-nutrients, but exogenous application of SA restored the capability of plants to accumulate essential elements. SA mitigated the Cd-induced inhibition in the growth of mustard plants. Cadmium-induced increase in the activities of some key antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT), and glutathione reductase (GR) was reduced by the exogenous application of SA. This reflects that SA might have acted as one of the potential antioxidants in mustard plants under Cd stress. © 2010 SAAB.
Geraniol - A review of a commercially important fragrance material
Volume 76, Issue 4, October 2010, Pages 643-651
W. Chen | A. M. Viljoen
Geraniol is a commercially important terpene alcohol occurring in the essential oils of several aromatic plants. It is one of the most important molecules in the flavour and fragrance industries and is a common ingredient in consumer products produced by these industries. In addition to its pleasant odour, geraniol is known to exhibit insecticidal and repellent properties and used as a natural pest control agent exhibiting low toxicity. Geraniol has been suggested to represent a new class of chemoprevention agents for cancer. Other biological activities such as antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and some vascular effects have also been investigated. The effect of geraniol as a penetration enhancer for transdermal drug delivery has also attracted the attention of researchers and formulation scientists. This review aims to coherently discuss some of the most important applications of geraniol and unites the results obtained from several studies reporting the biological properties of this molecule. © 2010 SAAB.
Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) beyond the farm gate: From herbal tea to potential phytopharmaceutical
Volume 77, Issue 4, October 2011, Pages 869-886
E. Joubert | E. Joubert | D. de Beer
Aspalathus linearis (Burm.f.) Dahlg. (Fabaceae, Tribe Crotalarieae), an endemic South African fynbos species, is cultivated to produce the well-known herbal tea, rooibos. It is currently sold in more than 37 countries with Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Japan and the United States of America representing 86% of the export market in 2010. Its caffeine-free and comparatively low tannin status, combined with its potential health-promoting properties, most notably antioxidant activity, contributes to its popularity. First marketed in 1904 in its fermented (oxidised) form, green rooibos is a new product recently on the market. The utilisation of rooibos has also moved beyond a herbal tea to intermediate value-added products such as extracts for the beverage, food, nutraceutical and cosmetic markets. Its potential as a phytopharmaceutical, shown in recent scientific studies, has not yet been exploited. This review focuses on past and current research aimed at enhancing the value of rooibos herbal tea as a specialised, niche product and expanding its value-adding potential against the background of its traditional use and the current market. The focus falls specifically on aspects such as composition, processing, quality and rooibos as food and potential medicine. © 2011 SAAB.
The distribution of tree and grass roots in savannas in relation to soil nitrogen and water
Volume 76, Issue 3, August 2010, Pages 517-523
E. C. February | S. I. Higgins
Here we describe the fine root distribution of trees and grasses relative to soil nitrogen and water profiles. The primary objective is to improve our understanding of edaphic processes influencing the relative abundance of trees and grasses in savanna systems. We do this at both a mesic (737mm MAP) site on sandy-loam soils and at an arid (547mm MAP) site on clay rich soils in the Kruger National Park in South Africa. The proportion of tree and grass fine roots at each soil depth were estimated using the δ 13C values of fine roots and the δ 13C end members of the fine roots of the dominant trees and grasses at our study sites. Changes in soil nitrogen concentrations with depth were indexed using total soil nitrogen concentrations and soil δ 15N values. Soil water content was measured at different depths using capacitance probes. We show that most tree and grass roots are located in the upper layers of the soil and that both tree and grass roots are present at the bottom of the profile. We demonstrate that root density is positively related to the distribution of soil nitrogen and negatively related to soil moisture. We attribute the negative correlation with soil moisture to evaporation from the soil surface and uptake by roots. Our data is a snapshot of a dynamic process, here the picture it provides is potentially misleading. To understand whether roots in this system are primarily foraging for water or for nitrogen future studies need to include a dynamic component. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Bioactivities of black cumin essential oil and its main terpenes from Tunisia
Volume 76, Issue 2, April 2010, Pages 210-216
S. Bourgou | A. Pichette | B. Marzouk | J. Legault
Ex vivo antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and antibacterial activities of the essential oil from Tunisian Nigella sativa seeds and its main terpenes (p-cymene, γ-terpinene, thymoquinone, β-pinene, carvacrol, terpinen-4-ol and longifolene) were determined. The essential oil exhibited strong ex vivo antioxidant activity, inhibiting DCFH oxidation with an IC50 of 1.0 μg/ml, and high anti-inflammatory activity, inhibiting NO radical excretion with an IC50 value of 6.3 μg/ml. Thymoquinone was found to be the most active to decrease DCFH oxidation and NO excretion. The oil was found to significantly inhibit the growth of A-549 and DLD-1 cancer cell lines (IC50 values of 43.0 and 46.0 μg/ml, respectively) and to exert antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli with IC50 values of 12.0 and 62.0 μg/ml. The anticancer and antibacterial activities could be mainly due to the action of thymoquinone and longifolene. © 2009.
Honeybush (Cyclopia spp.): From local cottage industry to global markets - The catalytic and supporting role of research
Volume 77, Issue 4, October 2011, Pages 887-907
E. Joubert | E. Joubert | M. E. Joubert | C. Bester | D. de Beer | J. H. De Lange | J. H. De Lange | J. H. De Lange
Honeybush tea (Cyclopia spp.), one of the traditional South African herbal teas with a long history of regional use, remained a cottage industry until the mid-1990s when researchers were instrumental in the development of a formal agricultural and agro-processing industry. It is one of the few indigenous South African plants that made the transition from the wild to a commercial product during the past 100. years. Research activities during the past 20. years included propagation, production, genetic improvement, processing, composition and the potential for value-adding. The present review provides an up-to-date and comprehensive record of the development of the South African honeybush industry, against the background of the historical highlights in the making of an industry. It provides a blueprint of the processes and actions involved in the development of a new agricultural and agro-processing industry from an herbal plant. Insight into challenges faced by the industry and future research needed to keep it competitive are provided. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
Antibacterial and antioxidant activities of four kaempferol methyl ethers isolated from Dodonaea viscosa Jacq. var. angustifolia leaf extracts
Volume 76, Issue 1, January 2010, Pages 25-29
L. S. Teffo | M. A. Aderogba | J. N. Eloff
Fractionation of dichloromethane and acetone fractions obtained by serial extraction from the leaf powder of Dodonaea viscosa Jacq. var. angustifolia (Sapindaceae) resulted in the isolation of four kaempferol methyl ethers. The compounds were identified by spectral data (1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS) as: 3, 5, 7-trihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone (1); 5, 7, 4'-trihydroxy-3, 6-dimethoxyflavone (2); 5, 7-dihydroxy-3, 6, 4'-trimethoxyflavone (santin) (3); and 5-hydroxy -3, 7, 4'-trimethoxyflavone (4) together with 3,4',5,7-tetrahydroxy flavone (kaempferol) (5). Antioxidant potential of the compounds was evaluated using a DPPH spectrophotometric assay, while antibacterial activity was determined using a serial dilution microplate technique. The isolates demonstrated varying degrees of antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Of all the compounds investigated, compounds 1 and 5 demonstrated some antioxidant activity (EC50 = 75.49 ± 1.76 μM and 35.06 ± 0.85 respectively) but lower than l-ascorbic acid (EC50 = 13.55 ± 0.28 μM) used as a standard antioxidant agent. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of isolated compounds against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa varied from 16 μg/ml to more than 250 μg/ml. Some structure activity relationships could be established for these compounds. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Age and orientation of the cotyledonary leaf explants determine the efficiency of de novo plant regeneration and Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation in Jatropha curcas L.
Volume 76, Issue 2, April 2010, Pages 337-344
P. Mazumdar | A. Basu | A. Paul | C. Mahanta | L. Sahoo | L. Sahoo
Effects of age and orientation of the explant on callus induction and de novo shoot regeneration from cotyledonary leaf segments of Jatropha curcas were studied. The callus induction and shoot regeneration capacity of cotyledonary leaf segments were found significantly related to the age of the explants and their orientation in culture medium. The youngest explant, derived from the cotyledonary leaf of germinated seed induced the highest regeneration response as compared to one- and two-week-old explants. A gradient response with age of the explant was observed in percentage of callus induction, shoot regeneration from callus and the number of shoots per regenerating callus. The explants cultured with their abaxial side in medium showed significantly higher regeneration response. The youngest explant was found to be most amenable to Agrobacterium-mediated transformation as compared to older explants. The fact that callus induced from the edges of the explant followed by de novo shoot induction, and strong transient gus expression observed in the edges of the explant are significant for routine Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and generation of stable transgenic plants in J. curcas. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

The potential of South African plants in the development of new medicinal products
Volume 77, Issue 4, October 2011, Pages 812-829
B. E. Van Wyk
Southern Africa is an important focal point of botanical and cultural diversity but only a few plant species have hitherto become fully commercialised as medicinal products. In recent years there has been an upsurge in research and development activity, resulting in several new products and new crops. In this review, more than 90 of the best-known and most promising indigenous South African plants are listed and subjectively evaluated in the context of their potential for commercialisation as medicinal products for a variety of applications. The history of product development relating to the following species is briefly discussed and the plants and some of their products are illustrated: Agathosma betulina (buchu), Aloe ferox (bitter aloe), Artemisia afra (African wormwood), Aspalathus linearis (rooibos tea), Bulbine frutescens (burn jelly plant); Cyclopia genistoides (honeybush tea), Harpagophytum procumbens (devil's claw), Hoodia gordonii (hoodia, ghaap), Hypoxis hemerocallidea ("African potato"), Lippia javanica (fever tea), Mesembryanthemum tortuosum (= Sceletium tortuosum) (kanna, kougoed), Pelargonium sidoides ("Umckaloabo"), Siphonochilus aethiopicus (African ginger), Sutherlandia frutescens (= Lessertia frutescens) (cancer bush), Warburgia salutaris (pepperbark tree) and Xysmalobium undulatum ("Uzara"). The main factors that are apparently responsible for failure or success will be highlighted, especially the importance of marketing strategy, proof of concept and barriers to market entry. © 2011 SAAB.
Chemical composition and antifungal activity of the essential oils of Lippia rehmannii from South Africa
Volume 76, Issue 1, January 2010, Pages 37-42
J. H. Linde | S. Combrinck | T. J C Regnier | S. Virijevic
Lippia rehmannii H.Pearson (Verbenaceae) is an aromatic bush, indigenous to the northern parts of South Africa. As far as could be ascertained, the essential oil composition has not been previously reported and forms the subject of this investigation. Aerial parts of the shrub were collected from two localities in Gauteng, South Africa, and the isolated essential oils were analysed by gas chromatography. Citral, a mixture of the E- and Z-isomers, was found to be the main constituent of the oils, while borneol, camphor, neryl acetate, isocaryophyllene, p-cymene, β-caryophyllene and β-caryophyllene oxide were other major compounds present. Oil compositions, within and between the two localities, did not differ significantly. The in vitro antifungal activity of L. rehmannii essential oil was compared to that of Cympopogon citratus (lemongrass) and pure citral, against a number of pre- and postharvest fungal food pathogens. At a concentration of 3000 μL/L, lemongrass oil and pure citral caused complete growth inhibition of all the pathogens tested. Lippia rehmannii, containing less citral than lemongrass oil, was effective at this concentration against the majority of pathogens, but only partially restricted the growth of Lasiodiplodia theobromae and Botrytis cinerea. This finding suggests that citral may be largely responsible for the observed antifungal activities. Essential oil from L. rehmannii appears to be a good candidate for the in vitro control of Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia solani and application of these oils in the field should be investigated. © 2009.
Ethnobotany, phytochemistry and pharmacology of Podocarpus sensu latissimo (s.l.)
Volume 76, Issue 1, January 2010, Pages 1-24
H. S. Abdillahi | G. I. Stafford | J. F. Finnie | J. Van Staden
The genus Podocarpus sensu latissimo (s.l.) was initially subdivided into eight sections. However, based on new information from different morphological and anatomical studies, these sections were recognised as new genera. This change in nomenclature sometimes is problematic when consulting ethnobotanical data especially when selecting plants for pharmacological screening, thus there is a need to clear any ambiguity with the nomenclature. Species of Podocarpus s.l. are important timber trees in their native areas. They have been used by many communities in traditional medicine and as a source of income. Podocarpus s.l. is used in the treatment of fevers, asthma, coughs, cholera, distemper, chest complaints and venereal diseases. Other uses include timber, food, wax, tannin and as ornamental trees. Although extensive research has been carried out on species of Podocarpus s.l over the last decade, relatively little is known about the African species compared to those of New Zealand, Australia, China and Japan. Phytochemical studies have led to the isolation and elucidation of various terpenoids and nor- and bis-norditerpenoid dilactones. Biflavonoids of the amentoflavone and hinokiflavone types have also been isolated. Nor- and bis-norditerpenes are said to be taxonomic markers for this genus. Recent in vitro and in vivo studies have shown antitumor, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, larvicidal, plant and insect growth regulation activities. Various studies have yielded important natural bioactive products and two of them are worth mentioning. Taxol, a significant anticancer agent has been isolated from Podocarpus gracilior and totarol, a diterpenoid isolated from various species and now commercially produced as a potent antibacterial and antioxidant agent. Findings from this review supports the use of an ethnobotanical and chemotaxonomical approach in selecting plants for pharmacological screening since most of the species in the different morphological groups have similar uses. Also the isolated compounds have chemotaxonomic value amongst the groups. Some of the biological activities identified from extracts and compounds isolated from Podocarpus s.l. support the rationale behind the medicinal uses of these species. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Impacts of urbanization in a biodiversity hotspot: Conservation challenges in Metropolitan Cape Town
Volume 77, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 20-35
A. G. Rebelo | P. M. Holmes | C. Dorse | J. Wood
The City of Cape Town (City) covers 2460km 2 in the southwestern corner of the Cape Floristic Region biodiversity hotspot. Established in 1654, by 1700 there were no animals larger than 50kg within 200km of the City. However, apart from an appreciation that timber and firewood were becoming scarce, it was only in the 1930s that the first farm near Cape Point was set aside for conservation. Table Mountain was declared a National Monument in 1958, while it was largely covered by pine and gum plantations. Conservation of the montane areas thereafter expanded, whereas the lowlands were largely ignored, except for a few bird sanctuaries. Only in 1982 was the plight of the lowlands highlighted. Although ad hoc conservation planning was undertaken subsequently, 1997 saw the first priority categorization and conservation plan. The current situation is perilous: a huge effort will be required to meet basic conservation targets for the lowland vegetation types and threatened species. Local and international partners and funders will be key to achieving this. In eight of the City's 19 national vegetation types the minimum conservation targets are not achievable. Of the 3250 plant species estimated to occur in the City, 13 are extinct and 319 are threatened according to the IUCN Red List: this is 18% of the threatened Red List species in South Africa. Now for the first time, implementation is being attempted holistically across the metropole with discussion between internal City and external stakeholders to implement the conservation plan. However, the interim plans towards achieving this - that 60% of the unproclaimed target is secured by 2014, requires that over 40km 2 be conserved per annum. This leaves 340km 2 that should be secured by 2020 when projections from City spatial growth indicate that the last critical remnants will be urbanized. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Redifferentiation of leaflet tissues during midrib gall development in Copaifera langsdorffii (Fabaceae)
Volume 76, Issue 2, April 2010, Pages 239-248
D. C. Oliveira | R. M S Isaias
The tree Copaifera langsdorffii is a superhost for galling herbivores. This plant species has great morphogenetic potential, and responds differently to the stimuli of more than 20 gall-inducing insects. Among these, an undescribed species of Cecidomyiidae induces a midrib gall in which a radial cecidogenetic field is generated and the leaflet tissues redifferentiate. Our objectives were to assess the amplitude of this cecidogenetic field, in which the leaflet tissues were influenced by the feeding action of the cecidomyiid; how the final gall shape was generated; and if tissue redifferentiation conferred any adaptive value on the galling herbivore. Leaflet morphogenesis followed the pattern described in the literature for simple leaves, resulting in a mesophytic arrangement. Tissue redifferentiation due to gall formation revealed that in a midrib gall, abaxial epidermal cells divided to enlarge the gall; spongy parenchyma cells originated the storage tissue, secretory structures, and vascular bundles; palisade parenchyma cells became homogeneous; and adaxial epidermis originated the nutritive tissue. Cell elongation, a necessary step towards cell redifferentiation, is triggered by an increase in water transport to the gall site and vacuole pressure due to neoformed xylem bundles. The generation of the final shape of the midrib gall involved repetitive histological steps in response to the amplitude of the cecidogenetic field. The largest impact of the cecidomyiid feeding action occurred in gall tissues redifferentiated from protoderm and adaxial ground meristem, which provided advantages to the gall maker of the C. langsdorffii midrib gall in terms of nutritional value, microenvironment, and protection against natural enemies. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Recent decades have experienced a sharp increase in the incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus. One antidiabetic therapeutic approach is to reduce gastrointestinal glucose production and absorption through the inhibition of carbohydrate-digesting enzymes such as α-amylase and α-glucosidase and α-amylase. The aim of the current study was to screen six medicinal plant species, with alleged antidiabetic properties for α-glucosidase inhibitory activities. Powdered plant materials were extracted with acetone, and tested for ability to inhibit baker's yeast α-glucosidase and α-amylase activities. The largest mass (440mg from 10g) of the extract was obtained from Cassia abbreviata, while both Senna italica and Mormordica balsamina yielded the lowest mass of the extracts. Extracts of stem bark of C. abbreviata inhibited baker's yeast α-glucosidase activity with an IC50 of 0.6mg/ml. This plant species had activity at low concentrations, with 1.0mg/ml and above resulting in inhibition of over 70%. The other five plant extracts investigated had IC50 values of between 1.8 and 3.0mg/ml. Senna italica only managed to inhibit the activity of enzyme-glucosidase at high concentrations with an IC50 value of 1.8mg/ml, while Tinospora fragosa extracts resulted in about 55% inhibition of the activity of the enzyme at a concentration of 3.5mg/ml, with an estimated IC50 value of 2.8mg/ml. The bark extract of C. abbreviata was the most active inhibitor of the enzyme, based on the IC50 values (0.6mg/ml). The bark extract of C. abbreviata contains non-competitive inhibitor(s) of α-glucosidase, reducing Vmax value of this enzyme from 5mM·s-1 to 1.67mM·s-1, while Km remained unchanged at 1.43mM for para-nitrophenyl glucopyranoside. Antioxidant activity of the extracts was also investigated. The C. abbreviata extract was more active as an antioxidant than the positive control, trolox. The extracts did not inhibit alphaamylase activity more than about 20% at the highest concentration tested. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Convergent evolution of carrion and faecal scent mimicry in fly-pollinated angiosperm flowers and a stinkhorn fungus
Volume 76, Issue 4, October 2010, Pages 796-807
S. D. Johnson | A. Jürgens
Flowers of many angiosperms attract fly pollinators through mimicry of animal carrion and faeces. This phenomenon of "sapromyiophily" is also evident in the sporophytes of some mosses and fruiting bodies of "stinkhorn" fungi, both of which use flies as agents of spore dispersal. We studied the scent chemistry of a stinkhorn fungus (Clathrus archeri) and seven fly-pollinated plant species with foetid odours to determine the degree to which these organisms mimic the scent of carrion and faeces (reference scent samples were collected from rotting meat, a rat carcass and horse and dog faeces), as well as the degree of convergent evolution between the fungus and angiosperm flowers. We found that scents of both the fungus and angiosperms tended to contain compounds typical of carrion, such as oligosulphides, and of faeces, such as phenol, indole and p-cresol. This study provides compelling new evidence for mimicry of carrion and faeces, as well as a striking pattern of convergence in the putrid scents of the fungus and the angiosperms, relative to those of confamilial species. The syndrome of sapromyiophily thus encompasses at least two kingdoms (Plantae and Fungi) and provides an effective means of exploiting flies as agents of pollen and spore dispersal. © 2010 SAAB.
A new wilt and die-back disease of Acacia mangium associated with Ceratocystis manginecans and C. acaciivora sp. nov. in Indonesia
Volume 77, Issue 2, April 2011, Pages 292-304
M. Tarigan | M. Tarigan | J. Roux | M. Van Wyk | B. Tjahjono | M. J. Wingfield
Species of Ceratocystis are well-known wound related pathogens of many tree species, including commercially planted Acacia spp. Recently, several Ceratocystis isolates were collected from wilting A. mangium in plantations in Indonesia. The aim of this study was to identify these Ceratocystis isolates and to investigate their ability to cause disease on two plantation-grown Acacia spp. using greenhouse and field inoculation experiments. For identification, morphological characteristics and comparisons of DNA sequence data for the ITS, β-tubulin and TEF 1-α gene regions, was used. Ceratocystis isolates were identified as C. manginecans, a serious pathogen of mango trees in Oman and Pakistan and a previously undescribed species, described here as C. acaciivora sp. nov. Both fungi produced significant lesions in inoculation experiments on A. mangium and A. crassicarpa, however, C. acaciivora was most pathogenic suggesting that this fungus is the primary cause of the death of trees under natural conditions. © 2010 SAAB.
Anatomy, trichome morphology and palynology of Salvia chrysophylla Stapf (Lamiaceae)
Volume 76, Issue 2, April 2010, Pages 187-195
A. Kahraman | F. Celep | M. Dogan
The anatomy, palynology, morphology and distribution of the trichomes on the aerial parts of Salvia chrysophylla Stapf, an endemic species in Turkey, were studied in order to understand the usefulness of these characteristics for systematic purposes. Some anatomical characters such as (1-)2-24-rowed pith rays in roots, dorsiventral leaves, obviously larger upper epidermal cells, and two to three large vascular bundles in the center and two to four small subsidiary bundles in the wings of petiole provide information of taxonomical significance. Three main types of trichomes were observed on the stem, inflorescence axis, leaf and calyx surfaces of S. chrysophylla. They are peltate, capitate glandular and non-glandular. Capitate glandular and non-glandular trichomes were further subdivided into several kinds. Glandular trichomes are present in abundance on the inflorescence axis and calyx, but non-glandular ones were mainly situated on the leaf and stem. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) studies on the pollen grains have revealed that they are oblate-spheroidal and their exine ornamentation is bireticulate-perforate. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

In vitro pharmacological evaluation and phenolic content of ten South African medicinal plants used as anthelmintics
Volume 76, Issue 3, August 2010, Pages 558-566

Helminth infection is regarded as one of the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). Although the disease is common in rural areas, information on the pharmacology of South African medicinal plants used against this disease is limited. We investigated the efficacy of ten South African medicinal plants against Caenorhabditis elegans. Because of the increased susceptibility of a host to microbial infections and other inflammatory responses associated with helminth infections, the antimicrobial and cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitory activities of the plants were also investigated. Phenolics including flavonoids, condensed tannins and gallotannins have been linked to many pharmacological activities. Thus, the phenolic content of the plant extracts were quantitatively evaluated. In the three bioassays, organic solvent extracts from Cyathea dregei (roots and leaves), Felicia erigeroides (leaves and stems), Hypoxis colchicifolia (leaves) and Senna petersiana (leaves) exhibited noteworthy pharmacological activities while Acokanthera oppositifolia (leaves) had good COX inhibitory activity. The concentration of phenolics ranged from 56.7 to 1.7 mg GAE/g dry matter in Ocimum basilicum and Cotyledon orbiculata var. dactylopsis, respectively. Flavonoids, condensed tannin and gallotannin content also varied greatly among the plant extracts investigated. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Seed germination at different temperatures and water stress levels, and seedling emergence from different depths of Ziziphus lotus
Volume 76, Issue 3, August 2010, Pages 453-459
M. Maraghni | M. Gorai | M. Neffati
Ziziphus lotus (L.) Lam. is a deciduous shrub with intricately branched stems in the Rhamnaceae family. It's a dominant and economically important species widely distributed in active sand dunes in the southern desert of Tunisia. To provide basic information for its conservation and reintroduction, we studied the influence of environmental factors on seed germination patterns. The germination responses of seeds were determined over a wide range of constant temperatures (10-50 °C), polyethylene glycol (PEG)-6000 solutions of different osmotic potentials (0 to - 1. MPa) and burial depths (1-10 cm). Temperatures between 15 and 45 °C seem to be favorable for the germination of this species. Germination was inhibited by either an increase or decrease in temperature from the most suitable temperature found (35 °C). The highest germination percentages (100%) were obtained under control conditions without PEG, and increasing moisture stress progressively inhibited seed germination, which was less than 5% at - 1. MPa. When tested for germination in distilled water, after PEG treatments, seeds germinated to the same extent as when fresh. When seeds buried deeply, there was a significant decrease in seedling emergence percentage and rate. Seedlings of Z. lotus emerged well at depths of 1-2 cm and could not emerge when sand burial depth was > 4 cm. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of selected southern African medicinal plants
Volume 77, Issue 3, August 2011, Pages 638-644
E. A. Adewusi | N. Moodley | V. Steenkamp
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia in the aging population. Enhancement of acetylcholine levels in the brain is one means of treating the disease. However, the drugs presently used in the management of the disease have various drawbacks. New treatments are required and in this study, extracts of Salvia tiliifolia Vahl. (whole plant), Chamaecrista mimosoides L. Greene (roots), Buddleja salviifolia (L.) Lam. (whole plant) and Schotia brachypetala Sond. (root and bark) were evaluated to determine their polyphenolic content, antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory (AChEI) activity. The DPPH and ABTS assays were used to determine antioxidant activity and Ellman colorimetric method to quantify AChEI activity. Although all four plants showed activity in both assays, the organic extracts of C. mimosoides root was found to contain the highest AChEI activity (IC50=0.03±0.08mg/ml) and B. salviifolia whole plant had the highest antioxidant activity (ABTS; IC50=0.14±0.08mg/ml and DPPH; IC50=0.23±0.01mg/ml). The results suggest that the tested plant species may provide a substantial source of secondary metabolites, which act as natural antioxidants and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, and may be beneficial in the treatment of AD. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
Flavonoids of Helichrysum chasmolycicum and its antioxidant and antimicrobial activities
Volume 77, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 170-174
S. Süzgeç-Selçuk | A. S. Birteksöz
From the aerial parts of Helichrysum chasmolycicum P.H Davis, which is an endemic species in Turkey, the flavonoids apigenin, luteolin, kaempferol, 3,5-dihydroxy-6,7,8-trimethoxyflavone, 3,5-dihydroxy-6,7,8,4′-tetramethoxyflavone, apigenin 7-O-glucoside, apigenin 4′-O-glucoside, luteolin 4′-O-glucoside, luteolin 4′,7-O-diglucoside, kaempferol 3-O-glucoside, kaempferol 7-O-glucoside and quercetin 3-O-glucoside were isolated. The methanol extract of the aerial parts of H. chasmolycicum showed antioxidant activity by DPPH method (IC50 0.92mg/mL). Antimicrobial activity test was performed on the B, D, E extracts and also 3,5-dihydroxy-6,7,8-trimethoxyflavone and kaempferol 3-O-glucoside which were the major flavonoid compounds obtained from aerial parts of H. chasmolycicum by microbroth dilutions technique. The E (ethanol-ethyl acetate) extract showed moderate antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, B (petroleum ether-60% ethanol-chloroform) extract and 3,5-dihydroxy-6,7,8-trimethoxyflavone showed moderate antifungal activity against Candida albicans. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Production of reactive oxygen species in excised, desiccated and cryopreserved explants of Trichilia dregeana Sond
Volume 76, Issue 1, January 2010, Pages 112-118
C. Whitaker | R. P. Beckett | F. V. Minibayeva | I. Kranner
The tropical tree Trichilia dregeana Sond. has recalcitrant seeds that cannot be stored by conventional seed banking methods that include drying and storage at low temperatures, or by using cryopreservation protocols that have been successfully applied to recalcitrant-seeded species such as Castanea sativa. We recently showed that in C. sativa both excision of the embryonic axes and subsequent dehydration cause transitory (5 min) bursts of extracellular superoxide (O2 {radical dot}-) production. Here we show that both excision and partial dehydration of the embryonic axes from seeds of T. dregeana cause large, prolonged extracellular bursts of O2 {radical dot}-. Furthermore, during rehydration after cryopreservation, another burst of O2 {radical dot}- occurs with slightly different kinetics. Compared with C. sativa, rates of O2 {radical dot}- production in T. dregeana are approximately twice as great and decline much more slowly, suggesting that excessive radical formation may be responsible for poor survival of the axes following cryopreservation. Fractionating the cell wall proteins of embryonic axes and cotyledons in conjunction with electrophoretic analyses of the fractions showed that most O2 {radical dot}- was produced by two peroxidases with molecular masses of c. 50 and 80 kD that were loosely bound to the cell walls of the embryonic axes. Future successful cryopreservation of T. dregeana would appear to depend on manipulations of O2 {radical dot}- production, and the discovery of peroxidases as the enzymes responsible described here may help in the development of more effective protocols. © 2009.
In vitro callus induction and plant regeneration from leaf explants of Ruta graveolens L.
Volume 76, Issue 3, August 2010, Pages 597-600
N. Ahmad | M. Faisal | M. Anis | M. Anis | I. M. Aref
A protocol for multiple shoot bud induction and plant regeneration from leaf segment-derived callus of Ruta graveolens has been developed. Maximum organogenic callus induction frequency (70.6 ± 2.33%) was observed on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 10 μM 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). Multiple shoot induction was achieved from the surface of the callus when transferred to shoot induction media (MS nutrients supplemented with 6-benzyladenine (BA), kinetin (Kn), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) in various concentrations and combinations). The highest shoot multiplication (92.3%) was observed on MS medium with 7.5 μM BA and 1.0 μM NAA. Regenerated shoots were rooted in vitro on MS containing 0.5 μM IBA. Plantlets with well developed root and shoot systems were successfully acclimated (90%) and established in earthen pots containing garden soil; they exhibited normal morphology and growth characteristics. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

PM to Announce: Demolish Ulpana, Give Residents New HomesJune 2, 2012
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is expected to announce on Monday that the five disputed homes in the Ulpana neighborhood in Beit El will be demolished, in accordance with a recent Supreme Court ruling.
Netanyahu will also announced that he will compensate the residents of the demolished homes with housing units within Beit El, either on state land or in a military area.
A source in the Prime Minister's Office confirmed the details on Friday afternoon and noted that Netanyahu chose this route, instead of pursuing the proposed law to legalize Jewish outposts and disputed neighborhoods, because he believes the law will not pass the Supreme Court and may cause damage to Judea and Samaria (Yehuda and Shomron).
The source added that Netanyahu is aware that taking the outpost regulation law off the agenda may result in many petitions being filed with the Supreme Court on behalf of many communities in the region.
A source in Judea and Samaria warned on Friday that if the outpost regulation law does not pass in a Knesset vote on Wednesday, the coming months and years will bring with them many dangers for further settlement in Judea and Samaria.
"There are many communities that were built in part on private land, which means the uprooting of thousands of Jews and the demolition of many homes in Judea and Samaria," the source told Arutz Sheva. "The Ulpana neighborhood is just the first in line. It is the duty of the ministers and Knesset members to pass the law despite Netanyahu's threats."
Netanyahu has already made it clear that he opposes the law and postponed a previously scheduled vote on it by refusing to allow his ministers to vote freely on the issue.
Friday's report is in line with a similar report last week, which said that Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak are working out a solution for the Ulpana neighborhood, which would involve the granting of permits for new construction in Beit El, after years in which no such construction was allowed. The Ulpana neighborhood will be torn down, however.
Earlier on Friday, Government Secretary Tzvi Hauser said that caravans that were to be brought to Beit El will be transferred to the Lachish region. The transfer of the caravans had led to fear that the government was preparing to demolish homes in the Binyamin-area town despite promises to find a way to save the homes.
Hauser's announcement followed overnight meetings aimed at stopping preparations for demolition.

Good compensation. Amazing talent. Great work environment.
Focal review process and HR process seems very rigid and not particularly useful. Work-life balance is not well balanced. Diversity is a little over the top. I was the only one on our entire team that was local--the vast majority were from overseas and half of the team was female. This could be interpreted as a good or bad thing and I liked my team members much but the composition seemed highly skewed.
Advice to Management
Need to better recognize under appreciated employees (that focus on support and training, etc.).
