Plant Resins-Chemistry, Evolution Ecology and Ethnobotany [PDF]
Plant resins are often something ornamental horticulturists either ignore or endure-particularly when they clog up pruners. This book gives a different view-a rhyme and reason as to why plants produce resins and how generations of people have used resins for economic or personal benefit.

Plant Resins—Their Formation, Secretion and Possible Functions
Plant resins pose interesting ecological, taxonomic, physiological, and biochemical problems. This chapter briefly describes the resins in chemical terms and presents their contrast with certain other plant products. Resins are nonvolatile products of plants, from which they exude naturally (surface resins) or can be obtained by incision or infection ...

Indigenous technical knowledge on the medicinal uses of natural resins and gums in India
India has a rich heritage of species biodiversity. Many plant species and their products, especially resins and gums, have been used by people through Indigenous Technical Knowledge (ITK) to cure several ailments, including complex diseases, for ages ...

Resin glycosides from Convolvulaceae plants [PDF]
Resin glycosides are well known as purgative ingredients, which are characteristic of certain crude drugs such as Mexican Scammony Radix, Orizabae Tuber, and Jalapae Tuber, all of which originate from Convolvulaceae plants. Depending on their solubility in ether, these are roughly classified into two groups-jalapin (soluble) and convolvulin (insoluble).

Antibacterial activity of resin rich plant extracts
The in vitro antibacterial activity of resin rich methanolic extracts (RRMEs) of Commiphora myrrha, Operculina turpethum, and Pinus roxburghii.Different concentration were studied by agar-well diffusion method against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus luteus, Enterococcus faecalis) and Gram-negative bacterial strains (

Biosynthesis of lignans. Part I . Biosynthesis of Arctiin (3) and Phillyrin (5) [PDF]
Lignans constitute a class of naturally occuring phenolic compounds, widely distributed in higher plants. They are formally composed of two phenylpropanoid units, stercospecifically joined at the /f-carbon atoms of their side chains. Their biosynthesis

Adsorption of plant phenols by polystyrene resins
Adsorption of nine plant phenols by nine polystyrene ion-exchange resins was investigated in an experimental model system. The phenols were adsorbed by Amberlite CG-120 more efficiently than any other acidically charged resins tested in this study. They were also taken up by anion exchangers. Among them Dowex 1-X8 was found to show the strongest effect

Characterization of Environmentally Sustainable Resole Phenolic Resins Synthesized with Plant-based Bioresources [PDF]
“Green” resole phenolic resins for laminating applications were synthesized, and their properties and thermal stability were determined. The plant-based cardanol and condensed tannin were used as the partial substitutes of up to 40% of the phenol in the ...
