Common Names: pine
Study shows V. vitis-idaea shrubs under P. pumila spread through clonal growth, impacting genetic diversity. Nurse effect by P. pumila aids beneficiary plant sustainability in alpine regions. Important for ecosystem management.
Study compared drought responses in P. pygmaea, P. elliottii, and P. massoniana. P. pygmaea showed higher antioxidant capacity and gene expression changes related to drought tolerance. Important for understanding plant resilience to climate change.
Study analyzed essential oil yield and composition of different parts of Bosnian pine tree in Bulgaria, revealing varying chemotypes with high antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Suggests nutraceutical and pharmacological applications, supports chemotype selection for desirable forest crops.
The researchers investigated the medicinal properties of Pinus halepensis seed, which is commonly consumed in the Mediterranean region. It has been traditionally used to treat various diseases.
After the Chernobyl nuclear accident, Scots pine trees in the area still show DNA damage and cellular abnormalities. High radiation levels continue to impact the plant community.
Researchers conducted a study on the P. pinaster species and found that it possesses therapeutic potential for various respiratory conditions. This information can be valuable for the development of effective treatments in the lab.
Researchers investigated the immunomodulatory effects of BA on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). They found that BA decreased the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines from PBMCs and decreased the proliferation of T cells. These findings suggest that BA may have potential therapeutic effects on autoimmune diseases. However, further studies are needed to fully explore the mechanisms and efficacy of BA in treating these diseases.
