Cardiovascular effects of the South American medicinal plant Cecropia pachystachya (ambay) on rats

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2005
Cecropia pachystachya is used in South America for relieving cough and asthma. In Argentina it is known as "ambay" and grows in the neotropical forests (Ntr C.p.) and in temperate hilly regions (Tp C.p.). To evaluate their cardiovascular profile, the effect of extracts obtained from plants growing in the neotropical region as well as in temperate areas

Parenchyma: a neglected plant tissue in the Cecropia/ant mutualism

Symbiosis, 2011
The Cecropia/Azteca association is a well studied and perhaps the best known mutualistic system in the Neotropics. In this study we assessed the ultrastructure of the parenchymal tissue of the septum inside the internodes of two Cecropia species, Cecropia obtusifolia (a myrmecophytic species) and C.

Not just ant-plants: Fungal patches and diazotrophic prokaryotes in the Cecropia/Azteca ant-plant symbiosis

, 2015
Neue Einsichten in die komplexe Dreifachinteraktion von Ameisen, Pflanzen und Pilzen in Ameisenpflanzen offenbarten Pilzpatches als wichtigen Bestandteil von Ameisen-Pflanzen Symbiosen. Pilzflächen (Patches) findet man in phylogenetisch verschiedenen Ameisen-Pflanzen Symbiosen innerhalb der von der Wirtspflanze bereitgestellten Wohnräume (Domatia ...

Recurrent breakdowns of mutualisms with ants in the neotropical ant-plant genus Cecropia (Urticaceae)

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2017
Mutualisms could be evolutionarily unstable, with changes in partner abundances or in the spatial context of interactions potentially promoting their dissolution. We test this prediction using the defense mutualisms between species of the Neotropical genus Cecropia and Azteca ants.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RESTRICTION OF HOST PLANT CONSUMPTION, AND POST‐INGESTIVE UTILIZATION OF BIOMASS AND NITROGEN IN HYALOPHORA CECROPIA

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 1982
The growth rate and food utilization efficiencies of penultimate instar Hyalophora cecropia are affected by restrictive feeding regimens which simulate the case of behaviorally induced larvae encountering a new food, and which entail an initial period of reduced consumption.

Challenges in the Early Ontogeny of a Mutualistic Plant: Resource Availability and Plant Defense in Juvenile Cecropia Ant‐Plants

Biotropica
ABSTRACTMutualistic species often must survive periods of their development without their mutualist partner, but we lack a clear understanding of the ecological mechanisms that maintain mutualisms despite these gaps in partnership. In ant‐plant protection mutualisms, plants house ant colonies that deter herbivores.

Glycogen Plastids in Müllerian Body Cells of Cecropia peltata —A Higher Green Plant

Science, 1971
A glycogen-containing plastid has been found in the cells of Müllerian bodies on Cecropia peltata (Moraceae) trees. Plastids in cells of the leaf blade, petiole, and stem are of the usual chloroplast type and contain starch grains only.
