Ethnobotanical survey of pesticidal plants used in South Uganda : case study of Masaka district [PDF]
Use of synthetic pesticides in developing countries is not only limited by their being expensive but also the small (uneconomic) fields whose limited production costs cannot offset costs of agricultural implements like agro-chemicals. Subsistence farmers,

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation
Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

Revision of Polygonatum (Asparagaceae, Nolinoideae, Polygonateae) of Taiwan [PDF]
Polygonatum is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere, especially in eastern Asia. There has been no comprehensive taxonomic study of Taiwanese taxa for some time, and researchers could not agree on a consistent treatment of the genus. Therefore, we revised the genus by literature review and type specimen examination along with comparison of ...

Sulphur Analogues of Homoisoflavonoids as Potential Treatments for Neovascular Eye Diseases
Neovascular eye diseases are characterised by the abnormal growth of often fragile blood vessels in the eye. Treatment focuses on reducing angiogenesis as well as reducing oxidative stress induced inflammation, a key underlying cause. Synthetic sulphur analogues of naturally occurring homoisoflavonoids, synthesised in three steps, have shown promise as
