The Antioxidant and Immunomodulatory Potential of Coccoloba alnifolia Leaf Extracts. [PDF]
Oxidative stress has been associated with different diseases, and different medicinal plants have been used to treat or prevent this condition. The leaf ethanolic extract (EE) and aqueous extract (AE) from Coccoloba alnifolia have previously been characterized to have antioxidant potential in vitro and in vivo.

Intraspecific Trait Variation in Tree Species Responds to Environmental Heterogeneity at Range-Wide but Not Local Scales. [PDF]
Here we explore the relationship between ITV, spatial and temporal environmental heterogeneity, and the breadth of species' environmental distributions for 33 tree species across eight sites across marked environmental gradients in Puerto Rico. Species with greater across‐site ITV in wood density and LMA occurred over broader ranges of potential ...

In thermotolerance tests of tropical tree leaves, the chlorophyll fluorescence parameter Fv/Fm measured soon after heat exposure is not a reliable predictor of tissue necrosis. [PDF]
Heat tolerance assays based solely on the decline of photosystem II quantum efficiency (Fv/Fm) soon after heat exposure may underestimate the temperature above which irreversible leaf damage occurs and may be species specific. Abstract Tropical rainforests are hot and may be particularly sensitive to ongoing anthropogenic global warming.

Pest categorisation of <i>Coccus viridis</i>. [PDF]
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Coccus viridis (Hemiptera: Coccidae), the green coffee scale, for the territory of the European Union (EU), following the commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum from Uganda, in which C. viridis was identified as a pest of possible concern to the EU.

Wild <i>Prunus cerasifera</i> Ehrh. Polyphenols Alleviate Hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Mice via Modulating Gut Microbiota-SCFAs-PI3K/Akt/TBC1D4 Pathway. [PDF]
WPPE treatment significantly alleviated type 2 diabetes by improving SCFAs and gut microbiota composition and promoted glycogen synthesis by regulating the PI3K/AKT/TBC1D4 pathway. WPPE also improved liver function and reduced oxidative stress and inflammation. ABSTRACT Our previous work demonstrated that wild Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.
