Karyomorphology of some Moraceae and Cecropiaceae (Urticales)

Journal of Plant Research, 1995
The karyomorphology of 16 species in 13 genera representing Moraceae and Cecropiaceae was investigated in an effort to contribute to a better understanding of chromosome features and evolution in the families. All genera investigated have similar karyomorphology, but differences are found in (1) chromosome features of Interphase nucleus (simple, simple-

Silicon-accumulating idioblasts in leaves of Cecropiaceae (Urticales)

Journal of Plant Research, 1993
A survey of the structure and mineral composition of leaf idioblasts in the Cecropiaceae was conducted. In all six genera of the family, idioblasts usually occur as trichomes or enlarged epidermal cells and nearly always accumulate Si, in marked contrast to the idioblasts of other members of the Urticales, which mostly possess cystoliths containing ...

Leaf Variation in a Tree of Pourouma tomentosa (Cecropiaceae) in French Guiana

Brittonia, 1998
In the flora of French Guiana we find considerable within-plant variation in leaf form. We observed entire, two-lobed, and three-lobed leaves within five separate levels (tiers) of the canopy of a single individual ofPourouma tomentosa subsp.maroniensis.

Anti-inflammatory effects and anti-oxidant capacity ofMyrathius arboreus(Cecropiaceae) in experimental models

Journal of Basic and Clinical Physiology and Pharmacology, 2017
AbstractBackground:Inflammation is involved in various diseases; search for safe treatments is warranted. Anti-inflammatory effects of ethanol extract ofMyrathius arboreus(EEMa) were studied in carrageenan-induced model, formaldehyde sub-acute-induced model, and in 48 h lipopolysaccharide-induced air pouch model of inflammation.
