Bark Beetle Pheromones [PDF]

open access: yesScience, 1970
KINZER et al.1 have recently reported the identification and synthesis of the bicyclic compound, frontalin. We wish to question the validity of some of their conclusions in the light of earlier work by this group at the Boyce Thompson Institute and Battelle Memorial Institute.

Grau de hidrometria do córtex de seis espécies arbóreas da caatinga Hidrometric rate of the cortex of six arboreous species in the caatinga

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 1989
O grau de hidrometria do córtex é um dos principais fatores que influenciam o estabelecimento de epífitas no tronco das árvores. Considerando a ausência de informações sobre o assunto na literatura para as espécies da caatinga, o grau de absorção de água

Putative ligand binding sites of two functionally characterized bark beetle odorant receptors

open access: yes, 2021
Background: Bark beetles are major pests of conifer forests, and their behavior is primarily mediated via olfaction. Targeting the odorant receptors (ORs) may thus provide avenues towards improved pest control.

Hygroscopic contributions to bark water storage and controls exerted by internal bark structure over water vapor absorption

open access: yesTrees, 2021
Hygroscopicity is a crucial element of bark water storage and can reach >60% of water holding capacity of bark depending on tree species Bark forms the outer layer of woody plants, and it is directly exposed to wetting during rainfall and reacts to ...

Sclerification in the bark tissues of common fir (Abies alba Mill.)

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
The sclerification process in bark tissues of common fir (Abies alba Mill.) has been described. The sclerification begins in 3 years old stems. Sclereids differentiate from cortical parenchyma cells and from secondary phloem parenchyma cells that do not ...

In Vitro Inhibitory Effects of Viburnum opulus Bark and Flower Extracts on Digestion of Potato Starch and Carbohydrate Hydrolases Activity

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
One of the effective treatments for diabetes is to reduce and delay the absorption of glucose by inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase in the digestive tract. Currently, there is a great interest in natural inhibitors from various part of plants.

Core Mycobiome and Their Ecological Relevance in the Gut of Five Ips Bark Beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae)

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Bark beetles are destructive forest pests considering their remarkable contribution to forest depletion. Their association with fungi is useful against the challenges of survival on the noxious and nutritionally limited substrate, i.e., conifer tissues ...

Effect of pine bark and compost on the biological denitrification process of non-hazardous landfill leachate: Focus on the microbiology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In an attempt to optimize the cost-efficiency of landfill leachate treatment by biological denitrification process, our study focused on finding low-cost alternatives to traditional expensive chemicals such as composted garden refuse and pine bark, which
