This work deals with present and discuss mainly the chemical composition and pharmacological activities of each species of the National List of Medicinal plants of interest to SUS (RENISUS) contained in scientific articles that are found in the Bauru-SP region. Such information compiled in this study may help in the advancement of scientific research, promoting the speed in bibliographic queries these species. In the present work was carried out consultation papers and described in the form of literature review, published information of the species listed in Renisus specific to the Bauru-SP region are: Aloe spp* (A. vera or A. barbadensis), Schinus terebinthifolius = mastic Schinus, trimera Baccharis, Mikania spp* (M. glomerata and M. laevigata), Vernonia condensata, Tabebuia avellanedeae, Chenopodium ambrosioides, Momordica charantia, Phyllanthus spp* (P. amarus, P. niruri, P. tenellus and P. urinaria), Stryphnodendron adstringens = Stryphnodendron barbatimam, pulegium Mentha, Mentha spp* (M. crispa, M. piperita or M. villosa), Plectranthus barbatus = Coleus barbatus, Persea spp* (gratissima or P. americana P.), Bauhinia spp* (B. affinis, B. forficata or B. variegata), Copaifera spp*, Morus sp*, Eugenia uniflora or brasiliana Myrtus*, Psidium guajava, Syzygium spp* (S. jambolanum or S. cumini), Passiflora spp* (P. alata, P. edulis or P. incarnata), Punica granatum and Casearia sylvestris. Studies have shown that the use of plants as alternatives treatment and sustainable use of Brazilian biodiversity has a breakthrough in research regarding the chemical composition of each species of RENISUS relationship. Many phytochemical studies are reported compiled with possible pharmacological indications of each species. Thus enabling the use and production of herbal medicines in SUS

Botanical Origin of Protein Sources Used by Honeybees (Apis mellifera) in an Atlantic Forest

Productive and reproductive traits of beehives are influenced by climate and food availability in the region where the bees are reared or maintained, thus honey and pollen storage, egg-laying conditions of the queen as well as comb occupation are subject to seasonal variations. The present study was conducted in the apiary of the Department of Entomology and Acarology, College of Agriculture Luiz de Queiroz, ESALQ/USP, in the municipality of Piracicaba, in an area containing fruit trees, ornamental plants and a fragment of a native forest. The objective was to identify protein sources used by honeybees (Apis mellifera) over a whole year (2010-2011) in remnants of the Atlantic forest, information that can be used in the conservation and restoration of degraded areas. For sample preparation, the acetolysis method was adopted (Eredtman 1952) and the quantitative analysis was performed by counting successive samples of 900 grains per sample which were grouped by botanical species and/or pollen types. The results show that the bees used various plant types in the area, including ruderal species, to maintain their colonies. Apis mellifera seeks food sources in all plants in the surroundings of the apiary, including herbaceous, shrubs, trees, native or introduced. Eucalyptus sp. played an important role as a food source in all seasons due to its wide availability around the apiary and its high flower production. The most frequent pollen types (greater than 10% of the sample) were Anadenanthera sp., Acacia sp, Miconia sp. and Eucalyptus sp. in winter; Philodendron sp., Mikania cordifolia, Parthenium and Eucalyptus sp. in spring; Alternanthera ficoidea, Chamissoa altissima and Eucalyptus sp. in summer; Philodendron sp., Raphanus sp. and Eucalyptus sp. in autumn.

The status of weed biological control in Vanuatu

Biological control of weeds in Vanuatu began in 1935, with the introduction of the tingid Teleonemia scrupulosa to control Lantana camara. To date, nine biological control agents have been intentionally introduced to control eight weed species. Seven of these agents have established on their respective hosts while an eighth, Zygogramma bicolorata, an agent for Parthenium hysterophorus has only recently been released and establishment is unlikely. The fate of a ninth agent, Heteropsylla spinulosa, released for the control of Mimosa diplotricha is unclear. Six other biological control agents, including Epiblema strenuana which was first detected in 2014 on P. hysterophorus on Efate have spread into the country unintentionally. Control of the target weeds range from inadequate to very good. By far the most successful agent has been Calligrapha pantherina which was introduced to control Sida acuta and Sida rhombifolia. The beetle was released on 14 islands and managed to spread to at least another 10 islands where it has effectively controlled both Sida spp. Control of the two water weeds, Eichhornia crassipes by Neochetina bruchi and N. eichhorniae and Pistia stratiotes by Neohydronomus affinis, has also been fairly good in most areas. Two agents, T. scrupulosa and Uroplata girardi, were released on L. camara, and four other agents have been found on the weed, but L. camara is still not under adequate control. The rust Puccinia spegazzinii was first released on Mikania micrantha in 2012 and successfully established. Anecdotal evidence suggests that it is having an impact on M. micrantha, but detailed monitoring is required to determine its overall impact. Future prospects for weed biological control in Vanuatu are positive, with the expected greater spread of recently released agents and the introduction of new agents for P. hysterophorus, L. camara, Dolichandra unguis-cati and Spathodea campanulata.

Análisis de la dimensión fractal del género Quercus en el sur de Italia

En estudios anteriores propusimos un nuevo método para el estudio del género Quercus (Musarella et al., 2013), baseado en la dimensión fractal (DF). En este trabajo analizamos la DF del género Quercus en el sur de Italia, para ello utilizamos hojas de árboles pertenecientes a Q. robur subsp. brutia, Q. cerris, Q. congesta, Q. crenata, Q. ilex, Q. suber, Q. virginiana. De cada árbol se toman hojas de cada uno de los puntos cardinales para complejiada de la estructura morfológica de las hojas. Este análisis extrae información sobre los caracteres fenotípicos de las hojas utilizadas, tales como el número y morfologia de los nervios, ángulos nervios secundarios con principal, contorno de hojas, aspecto reticulado de la hoja etc. En nuestro análisis, no se han detectado diferencias significativas entre la DF en cada una de la orientaciones y la DF global para cada una de las especies. En este trabajo corroboramos estudios anteriores realizados por los autores, en los que se proponía una DF < 1,6 para Quercus esclerófilos y DF entre dos especies sea cero o su cociente sea uno, el grado de parentesco entre las dos especies es del 100%; DFA - DFB = 0; DFA/DFB = 1, la especie Ay B son iguales; por ello cuanto menor es la diferencia o bien cuanto más se acerque el cociente a 1, mayor es la semejanza entre las especies. Si este cociente tiene un valor alejado de 1 como ocurre entre vfvi/vfsu>2, las especies Q. virginiana y Q. suber están muy distantes entre sí. Además, la realización del Test de Rango Múltiple, que es un procedimiento de comparación para determinar cuáles medias son significativamente diferentes unas de otras, confirma los resultados obtenidos de la forma anteriormente expuesta. Conto et al. (2007) ponen de manifiesto el origen hibridógeno de Q. crenata, y según el análisis molecular existe una mayor similitud genética entre Q. crenata y Q. cerris, que entre Q. crenata y Q. suber. Los DF de Q. crenata 1,868; Q. cerris 1,677 y Q. suber 0,932; siendo DFQsu 0,745 y DFQsu = 1,8, lo que significa que existe gran diferencia fenotípica (genética) entre los parentales, se presenta una mayor semejanza entre Q. crenata y Q. cerris que entre Q. crenata y Q. suber, ya que la diferencia DFQcr-DFQce = 0,191 y DFQcr/DFQce = 1,1, por lo que tienen un fuerte grado de semejanza, mientras que DFQcr-DFQsu = 0,936 y DFQcr/DFQsu > 2, lo que pone de manifiesto las fuertes diferencias fenotípicas entre el híbrido y el parental.
