Cadmium-induced oxidative damage in mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. & Coss.] plants can be alleviated by salicylic acidP. Ahmad | G. Nabi | M. Ashraf
Volume 77, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 36-44
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.
Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) beyond the farm gate: From herbal tea to potential phytopharmaceuticalE. Joubert | D. de Beer
Volume 77, Issue 4, October 2011, Pages 869-886
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.
Honeybush (Cyclopia spp.): From local cottage industry to global markets - The catalytic and supporting role of researchE. Joubert | M. E. Joubert | C. Bester | D. de Beer | J. H. De Lange
Volume 77, Issue 4, October 2011, Pages 887-907
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.
Impacts of urbanization in a biodiversity hotspot: Conservation challenges in Metropolitan Cape TownA. G. Rebelo | P. M. Holmes | C. Dorse | J. Wood
Volume 77, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 20-35
The City of Cape Town (City) covers 2460km2 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 40km2 be conserved per annum. This leaves 340km2 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.
The potential of South African plants in the development of new medicinal productsB. E. Van Wyk
Volume 77, Issue 4, October 2011, Pages 812-829
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.
A new wilt and die-back disease of Acacia mangium associated with Ceratocystis manginecans and C. acaciivora sp. nov. in IndonesiaM. Tarigan | J. Roux | M. Van Wyk | B. Tjahjono | M. J. Wingfield
Volume 77, Issue 2, April 2011, Pages 292-304
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.
Effects of maturity status on biochemical content, polyphenol composition and antioxidant capacity of pomegranate fruit arils (cv. 'Bhagwa')Olaniyi Amos Fawole | Umezuruike Linus Opara
Volume 85, Issue , March 2013, Pages 23-31
Pomegranate fruit (Punica granatum L.) has gained commercial importance in recent years in the food and health industries due to increasing scientific evidence linking its consumption to better health outcomes. In the present study, the evolution of some chemical contents, individual organic acids and sugars, phenolic composition and antioxidant capacity of pomegranate (cv. 'Bhagwa') during maturation was investigated. The results showed significant (P<0.05) increases in sugar content, ascorbic acid and total anthocyanins during fruit maturation, while significant decreases occurred in titratable acidity (TA), organic acids and total phenolic contents (TPCs). The significant increase in TSS/TA ratio, which plays a significant role in juice flavor, peaked at 140 DAFB, while the highest accumulation of anthocyanin content occurred at the full-ripe stage (165 DAFB). Total antioxidant capacity (both DPPH and FRAP) declined during fruit maturation, suggesting a decrease in antioxidant power of fruit juice. Strong correlations between TPC and antioxidant capacity measured by the DPPH (r2=0.99) and FRAP (r2=0.96) methods were observed. Fructose and glucose were established to be the major sugars in the fruit cultivar while tartaric acid was the predominant organic acid. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that harvest maturity of 'Bhagwa' pomegranate fruit is dependent on time from full bloom hence could be fixed around 165 DAFB, where fruits were characterized by intense fruit and aril pigmentation as well as high juice quality parameters. This information provided could help pomegranate juice producers to assess and optimize juice quality and antioxidant value of 'Bhagwa' pomegranate cultivar through maturity. © 2012 South African Association of Botanists.
Reconstructing the deep-branching relationships of the papilionoid legumesD. Cardoso | R. T. Pennington | L. P. de Queiroz | J. S. Boatwright | B. E. Van Wyk | M. F. Wojciechowski | M. Lavin
Volume 89, Issue , November 2013, Pages 58-75
Resolving the phylogenetic relationships of the deep nodes of papilionoid legumes (Papilionoideae) is essential to understanding the evolutionary history and diversification of this economically and ecologically important legume subfamily. The early-branching papilionoids include mostly Neotropical trees traditionally circumscribed in the tribes Sophoreae and Swartzieae. They are more highly diverse in floral morphology than other groups of Papilionoideae. For many years, phylogenetic analyses of the Papilionoideae could not clearly resolve the relationships of the early-branching lineages due to limited sampling. In the eight years since the publication of Legumes of the World, we have seen an extraordinary wealth of new molecular data for the study of Papilionoideae phylogeny, enabling increasingly greater resolution and many surprises. This study draws on recent molecular phylogenetic studies and a new comprehensive Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of 668 plastid matK sequences. The present matK phylogeny resolves the deep-branching relationships of the papilionoids with increased support for many clades, and suggests that taxonomic realignments of some genera and of numerous tribes are necessary. The potentially earliest-branching papilionoids fall within an ADA clade, which includes the recircumscribed monophyletic tribes Angylocalyceae, Dipterygeae, and Amburanae. The genera Aldina and Amphimas represent two of the nine main but as yet unresolved lineages comprising the large 50-kb inversion clade. The quinolizidine-alkaloid-accumulating Genistoid s.l. clade is expanded to include Dermatophyllum and a strongly supported and newly circumscribed tribe Ormosieae. Sophoreae and Swartzieae are dramatically reorganized so as to comprise monophyletic groups within the Core Genistoid clade and outside the 50-kb inversion clade, respectively. Acosmium is excluded from the Genistoids s.l. and strongly resolved within the newly circumscribed tribe Dalbergieae. By providing a better resolved phylogeny of the earliest-branching papilionoids, this study, in combination with other recent evidence, will lead to a more stable phylogenetic classification of the Papilionoideae. © 2013 South African Association of Botanists.
An updated review of Adansonia digitata: A commercially important African treeG. P P Kamatou | I. Vermaak | A. M. Viljoen
Volume 77, Issue 4, October 2011, Pages 908-919
Adansonia digitata L. (Malvaceae) is a majestic tree revered in Africa for its medicinal and nutritional value. The plant parts are used to treat various ailments such as diarrhoea, malaria and microbial infections. It is reported that it is an excellent anti-oxidant due to the vitamin C content which is seven to ten times higher than the vitamin C content of oranges. Baobab has numerous biological properties including antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities amongst others. Phytochemical investigation revealed the presence of flavonoids, phytosterols, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. The seeds are a source of significant quantities of lysine, thiamine, calcium and iron. Baobab is an important commodity which is integral to the livelihood of rural communities. In addition, the global demand for baobab raw material (e.g. seed oil, fruit pulp) by the food and beverage, nutraceutical and cosmetic industries has increased dramatically in recent years thereby increasing the commercial value and importance of this coveted African tree. In the past few years, there has been an increased demand for non-timber forest products (NTFPs), specifically baobab seed oil for inclusion in cosmetic formulations due to its high fatty acid composition. This review summarises the botanical aspects, ethnobotany, phytochemistry, biological properties and most importantly the nutritional value and commercial importance of baobab products. © 2011 SAAB.
Plant-derived smoke: Old technology with possibilities for economic applications in agriculture and horticultureM. G. Kulkarni | M. E. Light | J. Van Staden
Volume 77, Issue 4, October 2011, Pages 972-979
Fire and smoke have been used in traditional agricultural systems for centuries. In recent years, biologically active compounds have been isolated from smoke with potential uses in agriculture and horticulture. This article highlights the possibilities of using smoke-water or smoke-derived butenolide (3-methyl-2H-furo[2,3-c]pyran-2-one, termed karrikinolide, KAR1) for the cultivation of agricultural and horticultural crops. Treatments with smoke-water show promising results for improving seed germination, seedling growth and crop productivity. In certain cases, even under adverse conditions, such as low or high temperatures and low osmotic potentials, smoke-water or a KAR1 solution can promote seed germination and seedling growth. This phenomenon is of great significance when seeds are sown under drought conditions. Smoke-technology, therefore, has potential for use in arid and semi-arid regions. Possibilities may also exist for controlling some plant diseases and managing weeds with the use of smoke or KAR1 solutions. In addition, smoke-technology can possibly economize the use of commercial chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, making it a feasible technology for organic farming and for resource-poor farmers in developing nations. The positive role of smoke-water in flowering and fruiting of crops cannot be overlooked as the karrikins found in smoke are now recognized as potential new plant growth regulators. Very low concentrations of smoke-water or a KAR1 solution are effective in promoting germination and post-germination growth. Thus, early harvesting and increasing the productivity of crops using smoke-technology may be possible. Here we review some of the effects of smoke and KAR1 on various crop species and discuss the potential uses of smoke technology in agriculture and horticulture. © 2011 SAAB.
African seed oils of commercial importance - Cosmetic applicationsI. Vermaak | G. P P Kamatou | B. Komane-Mofokeng | A. M. Viljoen | K. Beckett
Volume 77, Issue 4, October 2011, Pages 920-933
Seed oils have been used for centuries by rural communities as food, medicine, for cosmetic applications and as fuel. Recently there has been a renewed interest in these non-timber forest products (NTFPs) specifically for use in cosmetic formulations. The cosmetic industry remains under immense consumer pressure to produce innovative products for this lucrative industry. Like the pharmaceutical industry, the wellness industry turns to nature for guidance, inspiration and as a source of novel compounds to produce new consumer products. Furthermore, discerning consumers of cosmetic products are nowadays informing themselves of the validity of scientific claims made on various products. The seed oils extracted from several plant species are popularly included as ingredients in cosmetic products due to their high fatty acid composition. The information on African seed oils is scattered in literature and often published in obscure and dated manuscripts. With an emphasis on (but not restricted to) cosmetic applications the botanical aspects, uses, physico-chemical properties and oil composition as well as biological activity of six commercially important species are coherently united and reviewed in this paper and include; Adansonia digitata (baobab), Citrullus lanatus (Kalahari melon), Schinziophyton rautanenii (manketti/mungongo), Sclerocarya birrea (marula), Trichilia emetica (mafura butter) and Ximenia americana (sour plum). © 2011 SAAB.
Medicinal plants used for the treatment of sexually transmitted infections by lay people in northern Maputaland, KwaZulu-Natal Province, South AfricaH. De Wet | V. N. Nzama | S. F. Van Vuuren
Volume 78, Issue , January 2012, Pages 12-20
This ethnobotanical study on plants used for the treatment of sexually transmitted infections was undertaken to document the knowledge by lay people in a rural community in northern Maputaland, South Africa. The focus was on the medicinal plants which are growing in and around the immediate vicinity of the homesteads. Thirty three plant species were recorded as being used for the treatment of sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhoea (drop or ugcusulu), external and internal sores caused by sexually transmitted infections, genital warts (cauliflower or umhluma) and syphilis. Nine plants (Bridelia cathartica subsp. cathartica, Cladostemon kirkii, Erianthemum dregei, Euphorbia hypericifolia, Ipomoea batatas, Krauseola mosambicina, Mimusops caffra, Opuntia stricta and Sarcophyte sanguinea subsp. sanguinea) were recorded for the first time in the literature world wide as a treatment for sexually transmitted infections. Five new vernacular names were documented for B. cathartica subsp. cathartica, Bryophyllum pinnatum, Clematis brachiata, E. hypericifolia and Pyrenacantha kaurabassana. The 33 plant species are used in 23 different combinations of two or more plants per herbal remedy. The three most frequently used plant species in the study area for the treatment of sexually transmitted infections are; Hypoxis hemerocallidia, Senecio serratuloides and Ranunculus multifidus. Roots are mostly prepared, as a decoction which is taken orally or used as an enema. All eighty of the interviewees preferred traditional medicine as the first therapeutic choice for treating sexually transmitted infections. The wide variety of plants that are used to treat sexually transmitted infections in this area emphasises the importance that medicinal plants can have in the primary health care system of the rural people in northern Maputaland (KwaZulu-Natal). © 2011 South African Association of Botanists.
Seasonal variation in antimicrobial and phytochemical properties of frequently used medicinal bulbous plants from South AfricaB. Ncube | J. F. Finnie | J. Van Staden
Volume 77, Issue 2, April 2011, Pages 387-396
The growing popularity of traditional medicine and the unrestricted collection of medicinal plants from the wild have put many of the slow growing bulbous plant species at the risk of over-exploitation and extinction in South Africa. This study was aimed at comparing the phytochemical composition and biological (antibacterial and anticandidal) activities of bulb and leaf extracts of Tulbaghia violacea, Hypoxis hemerocallidea, Drimia robusta and Merwilla plumbea between spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons, with the view of promoting the use of leaves, as a conservation strategy. Antibacterial and anticandidal activities of petroleum ether (PE), dichloromethane (DCM), 80% ethanol and water extracts of bulbs and leaves were tested against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria and the fungus Candida albicans using the microdilution bioassay. Spectrophotometric methods were used to evaluate saponin and phenolic compositions for the four seasons. Leaf and bulb extracts exhibited comparable anticandidal activity (MIC < 1 mg/ml) in all the plant species in all seasons. Only ethanol and water extracts of H. hemerocallidea corms (autumn and winter) showed correspondingly good fungicidal activity amongst the bulbs tested. Antibacterial activity was fairly comparable between bulbs and leaves with at least one extract of each plant species showing some good MIC values in most of the seasons. The best antimicrobial activities were recorded in winter and autumn seasons, with MIC values as low as 0.2. mg/ml in the DCM bulb extracts of T. violacea (winter) against K. pneumoniae and S. aureus. The amounts of total phenolic compounds in all plant samples were generally higher in spring compared to the other seasons. Condensed tannin, gallotannin and flavonoid levels, depending on the sample, were either higher in spring or winter except for H. hemerocallidea (corm) which had higher gallotannin levels in autumn. Total saponin levels were higher in winter in all plant samples. Although variation was observed in the phytochemical concentrations between the bulbs and leaves of each plant species, their antimicrobial activities were fairly comparable. Leaves may be used as substitutes for bulbs in the treatment of bacterial and fungal ailments. © 2010 SAAB.
Cryopreservation of in vitro-grown apical meristems of Lilium by droplet-vitrificationX. L. Chen | J. H. Li | X. Xin | Z. E. Zhang | P. P. Xin | X. X. Lu
Volume 77, Issue 2, April 2011, Pages 397-403
In this study, apical meristems from adventitious buds of three lily (Lilium L.) cultivars were successfully cryopreserved by droplet-vitrification. The most effective techniques were as follows. Excised meristems from in vitro plantlets which had been sub-cultured for about 2months were cold-hardened at 4°C for 1week, precultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.3molL-1 sucrose for 2days, osmoprotected in loading solution for 20-40min at room temperature and then soaked in PVS2 solution for 90-120min at 0°C, frozen in microdroplets of vitrification solution placed on aluminium foils, which were immersed rapidly in liquid nitrogen. The meristems were then rapidly rewarmed by dilution solution, transferred to regeneration medium and stored in the dark for two weeks at 20°C, and then cultured under white fluorescent light at an intensity of 2000lux, with a 16h photoperiod at 20°C. The highest post-thaw survival percentages of three cultivars 'Siberia' (Lilium×siberia), Lilium lancifolium Thunb. and 'Snow Queen' Lilium×longiflorum were 65.0%, 83.8% and 43.3%, and regeneration percentages were 62.0%, 67.6% and 35.0%, respectively. The study demonstrated that cryopreservation by droplet-vitrification increased survival and regeneration percentages of certain lily cultivars compared with vitrification. Thus to cryopreserve lily meristems, droplet-vitrification method is preferable to the vitrification method. © 2010.
Antioxidant and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of selected southern African medicinal plantsE. A. Adewusi | N. Moodley | V. Steenkamp
Volume 77, Issue 3, August 2011, Pages 638-644
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 activitiesS. Süzgeç-Selçuk | A. S. Birteksöz
Volume 77, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 170-174
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.
Pollen viability, pollen germination and pollen tube growth in the biofuel seed crop Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae)H. A. Abdelgadir | S. D. Johnson | J. Van Staden
Volume 79, Issue , March 2012, Pages 132-139
The fate of pollen and pollen tubes can have a profound effect on fruit and seed production. Experiments were conducted to investigate pollen viability, . in vitro pollen germination and . in vivo pollen tube growth in the biofuel seed crop . Jatropha curcas. It was possible to distinguish between fresh and dead pollen using 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC). Pollen germination was significantly higher in an agar-based medium composed of sucrose, boric acid and calcium nitrate compared with the control and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) treatments. Pollen from hermaphrodite flowers had lower viability, lower germination rates and shorter pollen tubes, with abnormal shapes, compared to the pollen from male flowers. Pollen tubes from both self- and cross-pollinated flowers entered the ovary within 8. h after pollination, thus confirming earlier reports of self-compatibility in this species. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.
Current perspectives on the economic botany of the genus Aloe L. (Xanthorrhoeaceae)O. M. Grace
Volume 77, Issue 4, October 2011, Pages 980-987
Aloe L. (Xanthorrhoeaceae) is a genus of over 500 species found on the African continent, Arabian Peninsula, Madagascar and eastern Indian Ocean Islands. It is valued by people at many economic scales but verifiable data, with which to quantify the role of Aloe in local livelihoods and commercial trade, are scarce. For a speciose genus of appreciable ethnological value, few taxa have been known in formal and international trade. Leaf mesophyll and exudate from certain Aloe species support sizeable commercial industries that differ markedly in geographical focus, supply chain and taxa used. Leaf mesophyll is primarily sourced from plantations of the well-known A. vera in Mexico, the United States and parts of South America, and is generally used in products made in the same region. By contrast, leaf exudate is principally wild-harvested from A. ferox in South Africa and A. secundiflora in Kenya for export to Europe and Asia. To a much lesser extent, Aloe spp. are used commercially in foods and to produce honey. It is unclear to what degree Aloe spp. are traded as medicinal plants for traditional use throughout their range. Their popularity in horticulture as decorative and/or collectable ornamentals sustains a considerable international trade. Besides habitat loss, wild populations of many species of Aloe are threatened by exploitation for the succulent plant trade and a few species by over-utilisation for natural products, making rare, endemic and utility taxa an obvious priority for conservation. With the exception of Aloe vera, all species of Aloe are protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). There is, nevertheless, considerable potential for commercially-valuable species of Aloe to be employed for rural development and poverty alleviation. The success of the expanded Aloe-based industries will depend on sustainable harvesting and other practices compliant with the Convention on Biological Diversity. © 2011 SAAB.
The potential of South African indigenous plants for the international cut flower tradeE. Y. Reinten | J. H. Coetzee | B. E. Van Wyk
Volume 77, Issue 4, October 2011, Pages 934-946
A broad review is presented of recent developments in the commercialization of southern Africa indigenous flora for the cut flower trade, including potted flowers and foliages ("greens"). The botany, horticultural traits and potential for commercialization of several indigenous plants have been reported in several publications. The contribution of species indigenous and/or endemic to southern Africa in the development of cut flower crop plants is widely acknowledged. These include what is known in the trade as gladiolus, freesia, gerbera, ornithogalum, clivia, agapanthus, strelitzia, plumbago and protea. Despite the wealth of South African flower bulb species, relatively few have become commercially important in the international bulb industry. Trade figures on the international markets also reflect the importance of a few species of southern African origin. The development of new research tools are contributing to the commercialization of South African plants, although propagation, cultivation and post-harvest handling need to be improved. A list of commercially relevant southern African cut flowers (including those used for fresh flowers, dried flowers, foliage and potted flowers) is presented, together with a subjective evaluation of several genera and species with perceived potential for the development of new crops for the florist trade. It is concluded that research should be focused on potential markets rather than on preconceived product concepts. A special national effort is required to maximize the opportunities presented by the rich diversity of the flora and to develop an internationally competitive cut flower industry. © 2011 SAAB.
Physiological analysis of salt stress behaviour of citrus species and genera: Low chloride accumulation as an indicator of salt toleranceS. Hussain | F. Luro | G. Costantino | P. Ollitrault | R. Morillon
Volume 81, Issue , July 2012, Pages 103-112
Tolerant citrus rootstocks are defined as Cl - excluders. However, little is known about the salt tolerance of cultivars used as scions, particularly the tolerance of monoembryonic citrus genotypes. To enhance the genetic resources for generating improved hybrid rootstocks, the evaluation of large samples of citrus species, including both monoembryonic and polyembryonic genotypes, is necessary. In this study, 12 citrus genotypes representing the major Citrus species and all the three genera of the Rutaceae family were subjected to moderate salt stress (75mM) for 12weeks to characterise their physiological response to salt stress. Various symptoms and physiological parameters were evaluated to characterise their salt sensitivity. These included plant growth (stem diameter), leaf chlorophyll content, leaf flavonoid content, maximum quantum yield of PSII [(F m-F 0)/F m)], net photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and leaf Na + and Cl - contents. The results clearly demonstrated that the most salt sensitive genotypes accumulated high concentrations of Na + and Cl - and maintained a fair growth and photosynthetic rate. By contrast, salt-tolerant genotypes accumulated less Na + and Cl - and decreased their growth and gas exchange. Poncire commun citron and Marumi kumquat were the most sensitive species, while mandarins, pummelo and Australian sour orange were the most tolerant species. Among the genotypes, Engedi pummelo presented a specific trait for salt tolerance that has not been previously reported. Taken together, the results suggest that low leaf chloride content can be used as an indicator of salt stress tolerance in citrus genotypes. Exploitation of this indicator will enable the improved evaluation of citrus genetic resources and should lead to the identification of new sources of tolerance for rootstock breeding. © 2012 South African Association of Botanists.
Plant biotechnology in South Africa: Micropropagation research endeavours, prospects and challengesM. Moyo | M. W. Bairu | S. O. Amoo | J. Van Staden
Volume 77, Issue 4, October 2011, Pages 996-1011
Research in plant biotechnology is playing a crucial role in the production and conservation of plant-based resources globally. Being a country with rich and diverse floral resources, South Africa has a genuine opportunity to develop efficient and competitive plant biotechnology sectors. South Africa has a policy framework, in the form of a National Biotechnology Strategy that supports biotechnology research. The presence of competitive research infrastructure coupled with the government's willingness to commit significant resources will certainly help realise this. South Africa's plant biotechnology research has potential to make more significant contributions to the national economy. In this review, whilst highlighting the success, the research endeavours, prospects and challenges hindering the practical application of micropropagation research outputs are discussed. © 2011 SAAB.
Evolution of secondary metabolites in legumes (Fabaceae)M. Wink
Volume 89, Issue , November 2013, Pages 164-175
Legumes produce a high diversity of secondary metabolites which serve as defence compounds against herbivores and microbes, but also as signal compounds to attract pollinating and fruit-dispersing animals. As nitrogen-fixing organisms, legumes produce more nitrogen containing secondary metabolites than other plant families. Compounds with nitrogen include alkaloids and amines (quinolizidine, pyrrolizidine, indolizidine, piperidine, pyridine, pyrrolidine, simple indole, Erythrina, simple isoquinoline, and imidazole alkaloids; polyamines, phenylethylamine, tyramine, and tryptamine derivatives), non-protein amino acids (NPAA), cyanogenic glucosides, and peptides (lectins, trypsin inhibitors, antimicrobial peptides, cyclotides). Secondary metabolites without nitrogen are phenolics (phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, isoflavones, catechins, anthocyanins, tannins, lignans, coumarins and furanocoumarins), polyketides (anthraquinones), and terpenoids (especially triterpenoid, steroidal saponins, tetraterpenes). While some secondary metabolites have a wide distribution (flavonoids, triterpenes, pinitol), however, others occur in a limited number of taxa. The distributions of secondary metabolites with an irregular occurrence are mapped on a molecular phylogeny of the Fabaceae, reconstructed from a combined data set of nucleotide sequences from rbcL, matK and ITS genes. In most cases, the distribution patterns of secondary metabolites do not agree with the phylogeny of the plants producing them. In contrary, the distribution of many secondary metabolites is patchy and irregular. Thus, the use of phytochemical data to reconstruct a phylogeny of plants is often not informative and can be misleading. The patchy distribution may be due to convergent evolution, a contribution of endophytic fungi or more likely, to an early acquisition of the key genes of secondary metabolism in the evolution of land plants among others by horizontal gene transfer from bacteria. Thus it would be a matter of gene regulation whether these genes are active in some but not all taxa. © 2013 South African Association of Botanists.
Antibiofilm activity and post antifungal effect of lemongrass oil on clinical Candida dubliniensis isolateS. Taweechaisupapong | P. Ngaonee | P. Patsuk | W. Pitiphat | W. Khunkitti
Volume 78, Issue , January 2012, Pages 37-43
Candidal infections are often difficult to eradicate due to the resistance of biofilms to antifungal agents. This study aimed at determining the effects of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus DC) oil against Candida dubliniensis in both planktonic and biofilms form. The results from broth microdilution method revealed that the minimum inhibitory and minimum fungicidal concentration of lemongrass oil on C. dubliniensis were 0.43 and 0.86. mg/ml, respectively. Employing a formazan salt (XTT tetrazolium) reduction assay for biofilm study, the results showed that the average percentage (mean ± SD) inhibition of lemongrass oil (0.43. mg/ml) on biofilm formation was 91.57 ± 1.31%, while it exhibited more than 80% killing activity against C. dubliniensis in biofilm at concentrations of 1.7. mg/ml. In addition, a significant reduction (P=0.03) of candidal adhesion to acrylic occurred after a 15. min exposure to 1.7. mg/ml of lemongrass oil. Moreover, limited exposure of yeasts to lemongrass oil at subcidal concentration can suppress growth for more than 24. h. Altogether, the results obtained indicate that lemongrass oil possessed antifungal and antibiofilm activities and could modulate candidal colonization. Therefore, the efficacy of lemongrass oil merits further development of this agent for the therapy of oral candidiasis. © 2011 South African Association of Botanists.
Peppermint (Mentha piperita) inhibits microbial biofilms in vitroM. Sandasi | C. M. Leonard | S. F. Van Vuuren | A. M. Viljoen
Volume 77, Issue 1, January 2011, Pages 80-85
Microbial biofilms have become increasingly problematic in the food processing and medical industries where they cause food and surface contamination. Biofilms have also been implicated as the cause of serious infections in humans as their occurrence makes it difficult to treat common infections and the likelihood of recurrent infections is high. Due to emerging resistance, conventional control methods are fast becoming ineffective. In this study, the use of a selection of commercial plant extracts is investigated. The inhibitory effects of eight herbal extracts on the development of microbial biofilms was investigated against clinical and reference strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans. The antimicrobial activity was investigated on the planktonic forms using the minimum inhibitory concentration assay. The extracts that showed the highest antimicrobial activity against the two test organisms were Echinacea angustifolia (cone flower), Mentha piperita (peppermint) and Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) with minimum inhibitory concentration values between 0.38 and 2.5. mg/ml. The crystal violet assay was used to assess the effect of pre-treating a surface with plant extracts on cell attachment and the extent of biofilm development following exposure to extracts (biofilm biomass). Most of the extracts reduced microbial colonization by at least 50%. In contrast, preformed biofilms were less responsive to the majority of extracts, thus growth inhibition was more difficult to achieve. Mentha piperita was the only extract that showed some antibiofilm activity against both pathogens. © 2010.
Stability structures tropical woody plant diversity more than seasonality: Insights into the ecology of high legume-succulent-plant biodiversityA. T. Oliveira-Filho | D. Cardoso | B. D. Schrire | G. P. Lewis | R. T. Pennington | T. J. Brummer | J. Rotella | M. Lavin
Volume 89, Issue , November 2013, Pages 42-57
Phylogenies of legume taxa are ecologically structured along a tropical seasonality gradient, which suggests phylogenetic niche conservatism. This seasonality gradient spans Neotropical wet forests, savannas, and highly seasonal drought-prone woody vegetation known as the succulent biome. Ecological phylogenetic structure was investigated using a community phylogenetic approach. We further analyzed bioclimatic and other independent variables that potentially explained phylogenetic beta diversity among 466 floristic sites that spanned the savanna and succulent biomes in eastern South America. Explanatory variables were selected using variance inflation factors, information criteria, and the ability to explain both species and phylogenetic beta diversity. A model involving annual precipitation suggests that a threshold of <. 1200. mm explains community phylogenetic structure along the savanna-succulent biome transition. Variables involving temperatures or measures of seasonality were notably lacking from top-ranked models. The abundance and diversity of legumes across the tropical seasonality gradient suggest that a high nitrogen metabolism confers an advantage in one of two ways, both of which are related to rapid growth rates. Legumes adapted to the succulent biome may be responding to regular post-dry-season leaf-flush opportunities. Legumes adapted to the savanna biome may be responding to intermittent post-disturbance growing opportunities. A seasonal predominance of leaf flushing by woody plants implicates the role of ecological stability in the succulent biome because of the need to recover the cost of regenerating short-lived leaves. Ecological stability may be the fundamental cause of ecological phylogenetic structure across the tropical seasonality gradient and required for maintaining high levels of both leaf-flushing legume and succulent plant biodiversity. © 2013 South African Association of Botanists.

LOS ANGELES, CA, JAN. 21 – Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto turned the quickest lap of the lone qualifying session at Dodger Stadium this afternoon, the defending AMA Supercross Champion and last year's race winner at Chavez Ravine clicking off a 53.993-second lap.
Villopoto's best effort came on his ninth of 11th laps and it was the only lap in the 53-second bracket. It came a few minutes after Villopoto had taken the top spot from James Stewart with a lap of 54.004.
Ryan Villopoto ended up third fastest.
Ironically, the Dodger Stadium track is dry when many predicted a mudder for tonight's race. Although it rained last night and this morning, the weather cleared this afternoon with sunshine and not rain soaking downtown Los Angeles. The track was covered last night and wasn't lifted until this afternoon – thus just the single practice/qualifying session was held.
"It's really tough, really slippery and a little bit dry – definitely not the greatest conditions," Villopoto said. "But we all do ride the same deal. With a short practice you gotta get out there and work out the bugs quick. There's not a whole lot to do with just one practice and you kinda gotta go out there and make the best of it with the 12 minutes that you have. I didn't make any changes when I was out there. I felt really comfortable so hopefully we can have a solid night tonight.
Stewart held on for second fastest despite not finishing the 12-minute session. The JGR Yamaha rider was fast out of the gate, but lasted just three laps before getting out of shape and crashing in the second set of whoops and heading for the pits with a cut under his eye. Still, his 54.059 held up for the second-quickest time.
Championship co-leader Ryan Dungey put the Red Bull KTM third in the session with his 54.766. Both Dungey and Villopoto are wearing red backgrounds on their number plates tonight to signify their positions tied at the top of the point standings after two rounds.
Stewart's JGR teammate Davi Millsaps put his YZ450F fourth fastest, besting the Muscle Milk Honda of Justin Brayton. Chad Reed, Jake Weimer, Ivan Tedesco, Trey Canard and Brett Metcalfe rounded out the top 10 qualifiers.
In the Lites class, Geico Honda's Eli Tomac led the way with a 54.820 – a time that would have put him fourth in the Supercross class. Tomac was the only Lites rider in the 54s and ended up .195 of a second ahead of the ever-surprising Zach Osborne.
Eli Tomac led Lites qualifying.
Red Bull KTM's Marvin Musquin ended up third with Monster Pro Circuit Kawasaki's Dean Wilson and Martin Davalos rounding out the top five.

SAINT JOSEPH COUNTY, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - A guilty plea comes from standout Notre Dame Wide Receiver Michael Floyd after he was arrested for misdemeanor drunken driving.
A Saint Joseph County judge sentenced Floyd to a one year jail sentence that was suspended as part of a plea agreement.
Instead, Floyd will serve one year probation.
He was arrested in March after he ran a stop sign one block from the school and tests show he had a blood alcohol level of 0.19 percent.
He's been suspended indefinitely from the team.

Goodreads Book Giveaway
The Czar
by Mary Biddinger
Giveaway ends September 25, 2016.
See the giveaway details
at Goodreads.
Giveaway ends September 25, 2016.
See the giveaway details
at Goodreads.
It's CZARmania here in Akron, OH, and we couldn't be more pleased. But how to get a copy of this book for yourself, when it hasn't officially been released yet? Allow me to elaborate.
A limited number of advance copies of THE CZAR will be sold at EarthQuaker Day in downtown Akron, thanks to the awesome folks of the Big Big Mess Reading Series. Stop by their table at the event and they will hook you up with your czar (until they are sold out).
We're also thrilled to share the news of our czar release party reading on Saturday, August 13th at Annabell's in Akron, thanks (once again) to the Big Big Mess Reading Series. We'll have copies of the book available for purchase, and you can have one, or both, of the authors autograph them, in addition to hearing us read live.
Finally, the lovely folks of Black Lawrence Press are still offering pre-orders of THE CZAR at a discount price. Hop on this deal before it's over!
Unboxing The Czar was extra emotional because it's Jay's first book. It was also impossible to do just the perfunctory flip-through with this book, because it's pretty funny, and I found myself reading it again (and again) at odd moments when I should have been doing something else. The Czar is about a lot of things: a hyperbolically ridiculous fictional figurehead, the white noise of our present day, sexy underpants and odd recipes, family histories we might be best to forget, pop culture and its trash.
I think this book shows that collaboration can create something entirely new, not just a fusion of narratives and styles. Maybe that's why I am so damn proud of this one. We took some risks, and let the book lead the way. I hope readers enjoy The Czar!
On THE CZAR:
The poems of The Czar by Mary Biddinger and Jay Robinson stand at the intersection of ironic political commentary and hyperbolized body currency. In the world of this collection, the Czar is a figurehead replete with ceremony and artificial gestures. But is he provocative humor or allegorical heft? And what happens when power is passed to the powerless in a secret handshake that's more tongue on tongue than tongue-in-cheek? This book-length collaboration pivots between comic interludes and satirical exposés, at its heart the rhythm of the present tense, history's most unreliable narrator no matter the king or kingdom.
July already? Soon we'll be proofing pages of The Czar, and I'll be getting the Akron Poetry Prize finalists off to the judge, and then: czar watch. The birth of The Czar is especially exciting because it's Jay's first book. The unboxing will be even more meaningful.
My summer World Lit class was a true delight (what a brilliant bunch of readers and thinkers). It seems like I enjoy teaching more and more with every class. As of this fall semester, it'll be my 20th year of teaching college English. So happy that I am nowhere near disenchanted after all this time.
Goals: once I've read these manuscripts (468 total) I need to write some poems and send them out. I need to revise some poems I've already written, and to send them out. Here and there I have been making notes for poems, but soon I need to write those poems.
Over at Twitter I've been posting a poetry prompt every Wednesday. Friends and students and former students often ask me for prompts over the summer, so I decided to make it a #summerofprompts feature for everyone to check out. Here's a sample.
Happy July to all! Maybe next week I'll have a sneak peek at the first pages for The Czar. There's nothing like the excitement of bringing a new book into the world.
The Czar is currently up for pre-sale via Black Lawrence Press. The pre-sale price is $13.95 and ore-orders will stay at that price until July 31. Then, the price will shift to the retail $15.95. Support your local Czar!
Here's the link:
This book is not a book, it's treatise on empire, a manifest destiny, a pack of wild peasants outside the gate, a mesmerizing tour d'effluvia in its Czar not Czar, throne not throne, overthrown mistresses, Lady Czar is no Czarina, cappuccino foam isn't foam, revolution was a hoax, naming and renaming, unlearned cursive, unheard flute solo, empire under construction, not New York, not Sacramento, non-tabloids, non-violent non-women. Biddinger and Robinson rebuild our world and take it away piece by piece to show the conviviality of our destruction.
–Elizabeth Colen, author of They Could No Longer Contain Themselves
The Czar Has Blurbs!
The book blurbs have manifested themselves, and it is good.Such fantastic words from fantastic and admirable poets and people:
As a child, my mother taught me to zigzag Z to avoid getting eaten by an alligator. Mary Biddinger and Jay Robinson employ this technique here: in the clever curve of C around the subject, in the sharp switchback tack of Z for zealous. They commit to wordplay revolution, erasing origins, replacing narrative with wit, sound, and imagery so surprising it feels, by poem's end, perfectly natural: the thing that waited, haunting, in the swamp. I don't know how else to explain The Czar, whose unexpected becomes so expectant with meaning. This is a brilliant collection/collaboration.
–Carol Guess, author of Doll Studies: Forensics
This exquisite, feature-length project is the comic jam. But it's no joke. You can thank Mary Biddinger and Jay Robinson later. For now, arm yourself…

Pictures at an Exhibition: A Petersburg Album by Philip Metres is here! It's the winner of the 2014 Akron Poetry Prize, as selected by Maxine Chernoff, and it is downright amazing. Get your own copy, and enjoy.
Wrestling with the questions of travel, memory, and perception, Pictures at an Exhibition: A Petersburg Album is, at its core, an unrequited love song to St. Petersburg. The fever dream of Peter the Great, Pushkin, Dostoyevsky, Gogol, and Akhmatova, St. Petersburg is the occasion for a broader meditation on all we come to love and lose. Pictures began as a journal notebook in 2002, as the poet tried to capture this spectacle-rich and memory-laden city that he had visited ten years before. Scored to the movements of Modest Mussorgsky's legendary suite—a work of art elegizing a lost friend, the artist Hartmann—Pictures marks, and sometimes sings, the incommensurability of word and world.

Fly by night grammar
To the Editor,
When as a young lad, I went to grade school to study the basics of a child's learning life. Reading, writing, and of course, math. As I progressed slowly through those memorable years, I learned some new symbols in sentence structure. Capital letters, commas, exclamation points, question marks, and let us not forget the infamous dangling participle,who has somewhat vanished.
Fast forwarding to present time, our pound sign has been adopted by our next generation. Yes folks, it is the infamous hashtag. I thought at first that this surely was a new board game. Nah, its just something said, like yada yada yada. Or cool beans.
Since this is new lingo to me, let me interject these little crazy tidbits.
@ – The A's are upon us.
! – Line with a dot.
, – Free flopping tongue.
" – Rain or snow showers.
' – Misty rain or snow flurries.
; – A dot with a tongue.
( – Half moon.
) – The other side of the half moon.
# – HASHTAG….boo.
$ – The Bank.
% – Hoot owl watching.
& – Sing along.
* – Shining star.
+ – Baby shining star.
/ – Right slanting wall.
\ – Left slanting wall.
..- Nature trail droppings.
X – Buried treasure.
| – Straight wall.
– – Fallen wall.

I think its possible to incorporate the Wii Fit board into one of our games, but it would change the control scheme dramatically and wed have to figure out how to make that work. So I dont know yet.
He wasnt showing direct interest, he just said I have seen a little bit, it would be possible but it would take a dramatic change.Originally Posted by Bliss
Tony Hawk series isnt the most innovative of franchises is it, do you expect them to take time to make a special innovative step forward for one console?
if he wants his franchise to continue to do well...i mean i know he has his following and all but, think about how well he would do if he made this change.Originally Posted by Cpt.McCloud
Skateboarding/Snowboarding is the best idea that I can think of at this moment, but I am sure that developers will try and use it for all sorts of new ideas.

It would be nice tho
A friend of mine suggested fighting titles, things like the ability to detect a kick while the Wii remote/nun-chuck of course manages punching.
"Real Men Wii Standing Up"
yeah but, games involving jumping on the board, would be unlikly, as i said in one of my threads the board has a 300Kg weght limit,
and jumping, when you land your weight increses momentarily for a second or so, there for the weight limint would probably lowered by about 100KG

The C-37? Was landed on an airstrip just long enough to land, but not long enough to take off again. It had to be done on the first try. It was landed by my uncle, Air Force Colonel Tom Thomas.[Marty VanHaren, 07/29/2014]
Don Q Inn
We stayed in the "Up, Up And Away" room, which had a giant hot air balloon bed suspended in the room and a whirlpool with a waterfall. It was a fun room to stay in, and I'd be curious to check out the others.[Cat Morley, 10/18/2013]
Noticed the plane and the stairway to its interior had a nice new coat of paint since the last time we visited (2005). Apparently, the painter(s) didn't mask off Farrah Fawcett's (1977) signature and painted right over it! Looks like someone tried to wipe off the new layer of paint, as you can see a very faint image of her signature (if you know where to look), but maybe didn't want to wipe too hard as to remove the signature also.[Deb, 10/01/2010]
Don Q Inn
I'm holding up the Boeing C-97 in front of the Don Q Inn Hotel near Dodgeville, Wisconsin. The plane flew to its present location adjacent to the hotel. Farah Fawcett signed the fuselage after filming a TV commercial there long ago.[David Chase, 02/10/2008]
Way more barber chairs than previously listed. Now there are 16 with one dentist's chair. The chairs are very much worth a look![Al and Sandra, 07/16/2006]
