Seeing the forest with the leaves - clues to canopy placement from leaf fossil size and venation characteristics.

16 Dec 2009 Although a variety of leaf characteristics appear to be induced by light environment during development, analysis of ontogenetic changes in living broad leaved trees has suggested that a number of other traits also lumped into the classic 'sun' ... Read more...

Biology and chemistry of Ginkgo biloba.

25 Jun 2008 Ginkgo biloba has been existing on earth since 200 million years and is considered as a "living fossil". It is among the most sold medicinal plants in the world. A number of secondary metabolites representing terpenoids, polyphenols, allyl phenols, ... Read more...

Isolation and purification of ginkgo flavonol glycosides from Ginkgo biloba leaves by high-speed counter-current chromatography.

30 Jul 2007 A high-speed counter-current chromatography method was developed for the separation and purification of bioactive flavonol glycosides from a crude ethanol extract of Ginkgo biloba leaves. The separation was performed with a two-phase solvent system ... Read more...
