ZZE-Configuration of chromophore ß-153 in C-phycocyanin from Mastigocladus laminosus [PDF]

, 1987
The photochemistry of C-phycocyanin has been studied after denaturation in the dark. It shows an irreversible reaction which has characteristics of a Ζ,Ζ,Ε- to Z,Z,Z-isomerization of dihydrobilins. Its amplitude depends on the reaction conditions, with

Pollinator diversity and host specificity in threatened Encephalartos cycads and their implications for co‐extinction and species recovery

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The highly threatened African cycad genus Encephalartos faces severe threats such as habitat loss and poaching. In addition, the lack of sexual recruitment due to the absence of pollinators (pollinator collapse) has emerged as another major threat.

Temperature interacts with jack pine host defences to influence the growth of mountain pine beetle‐associated fungi

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Optimal growing temperatures varied with mountain pine beetle‐associated fungal species. There was only a marginal impact of temperature on the response of fungi to defensive monoterpenes of novel host pine. Interspecific facilitation occurred for Leptiographuim longiclavatum when grown in Ophiostoma montium‐induced treatments at optimal temperatures ...

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

Determining the Antimicrobial Actions of Tea Tree Oil

Molecules, 2001
Research into the mode of action of the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea tree oil) is briefly reviewed. Its mode of action is interpreted in terms of the membrane-toxicity of its monoterpenoid components and different approaches for ...
