Study of Polyphenol Content and Antioxidant Capacity of Myrianthus Arboreus (Cecropiaceae) Root Bark Extracts. [PDF]
In order to evaluate the therapeutic potential of polyphenolic extracts from root bark of M. arboreus, we have determined the content of various polyphenols in aqueous and ethanol (EtOH) extract as well as two sub-fractions of the latter: ethyl acetate (EAc) and hexane (Hex).

Myxomycetes occurring on Cecropia adenopus (Cecropiaceae) in fragments of Atlantic Rainforest Myxomycetes ocorrentes em Cecropia adenopus (Cecropiaceae) em fragmentos de Floresta Atlântica [PDF]
Cecropia adenopus (Ambay pumpwood) is a frequent native species on the edges of woods and clearings and is considered a pioneer species in re-colonized areas. Despite its distribution from Mexico to Argentina, this substrate has never been examined in detail regarding the presence of Myxomycetes. In the present study, the myxobiota associated with leaf

CECROPIACEAE A NEW FAMILY OF THE URTICALES [PDF]
SummaryThe problem of the correct position of the Conocephaloideae, a subfamily of the Moraceae in Engler's system, but transferred to the Urticaceae by Corner (1962), can be satisfactorily solved by assigning the rank of family to this taxon, to be named Cecropiaceae.

Familia de distribución pantropical que comprende seis géneros y 180 a 200 especies; en nuestra área de estudio con un solo representante. Los miembros de Cecropiaceae tradicionalmente se incluían en Moraceae y por algunos autores en Urticaceae, pero en ambas familias constituían elementos discordantes a causa de diversos caracteres.

Distributional patterns of cecropia (Cecropiaceae): a panbiogeographic analysis
A panbiogeographic analysis of the distributional patterns of 60 species of Cecropia was carried out. Based on the distributional ranges of 36 species, we found eight generalized tracks for Cecropia species. whereas distributional patterns of 24 species were uninformative for the analysis.

Tolerância à inundação de Cecropia pachystachya Trec. (Cecropiaceae): aspectos ecofisiológicos e morfoanatômicos [PDF]
Visando elucidar aspectos da tolerância à hipoxia, plantas de Cecropia pachystachya foram submetidas a 30 dias de inundação. O crescimento e desenvolvimento, a condutância estomática, a fotossíntese e a morfo-anatomia foram avaliadas. A taxa de crescimento relativo (TCR) da raiz e do caule foi inferior em plantas alagadas, não havendo diferenças nesta ...

Effects of light and temperature on seed germination in Cecropia hololeuca Miq. (Cecropiaceae) [PDF]
Seeds of Cecropia hololeuca were submitted to regimes of constant and alternating temperatures, associated with photoperiods of white light, "shade light" and continuous darkness under controlled conditions in laboratory. Seeds did not germinate at constant temperatures of 10°C to 20°C and above 35°C.
