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...

A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of Ginkgo biloba L. in treatment of premenstrual syndrome.

30 Jul 2009 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: During the reproductive years, most of menstruating women experience symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), which is incapacitating in up to 10% of cases. According to complicated etiology, various therapeutic approaches ... Read more...

Screening of species of the endophytic fungus Phomopsis for the production of the anticancer drug taxol.

4 Jul 2009 Three different strains of the endophytic fungus Phomopsis were isolated from the healthy leaves of Taxus cuspidata (Japanese yew), Ginkgo biloba (ginkgo or maidenhair tree) and Larix leptolepis (Japanese larch) and screened for the production of ... Read more...
