Interference of tributyltin(IV)chloride on the vascular plant cells
2007
In the recent past years, interest in the environmental impact of organotin(IV) compounds has risen markedly. Considering that most data in the scientific literature refers to the animal kingdom and not to higher plants cells, we tested the effects of organotin compounds on vascular plant cells, by studying the interaction of tributyltin chloride (TBTCl) with Allium cepa, Solanun tuberosum and Solanum melongena, vascular plants that are directly involved in the human food chain. The TBTCl effects on mitotic metaphase plates, on pollen grains and on both microtubers and adult tuber parenchymatic cells were investigated and the concentrations of TBTCl inside the treated parenchymatic cells we…
Gramineae hay fever, and aerobiological and clinical investigation in Palermo; Sicily
1992
Epidemiological and aerobiological observations (1987;1989) have been carried out for three years in order to search the existing relationship between the Gramineae's daily pollen concentration in Palermo's atmosphere and the number of hay fever cases due to such pollen.
Obtaining and Characterisation of Starch-Based Edible Films Incorporating Honey, Propolis and Bee Bread
2019
Abstract This research investigates the physical-chemical, sensorial and mechanical characteristics of starch-based edible films incorporating three types of bee hive products: honey, propolis and bee bread, in concentrations varying from 1% to 3%, reported to starch. The results indicates an increasing of films moisture, water activity, ash content and acidity, in the order: honey<propolis<bee bread, all values increasing with the increasing of hive products percentage into the control film; aw is remaining at very low values, under 0.4. Sensorial analysis indicated honey as the better suited for improving taste and flavour and bee bread for increasing colour intensity of the films; …
Sketch of an automatic image based pollen detection system
2012
The ability of measuring accurately airborne pollen concentration in the environment is an important goal for palynology. It has been unsatisfactory for agile usage to date. Huge volumes of airborne particles prevent palynologists from opportunely processing statistically suitable information. Additionally, measurements from stationary pollen monitors cannot be accurately associated to individuals. In the context of computer vision, this paper presents the outline for the structure of an image based pollen detection system, under the framework of the Personalized Pollen Profiling and Geospatial Mapping project based on individual information of allergic patient profile measured at multiple …
Biological Flora of the British Isles: Ambrosia artemisiifolia
2015
This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. (Common ragweed) that are relevant to understanding its ecology. The main topics are presented within the standard framework of the Biological Flora of the British Isles: distribution, habitat, communities, responses to biotic factors, responses to environment, structure and physiology, phenology, floral and seed characters, herbivores and disease, and history, conservation, impacts and management. Ambrosia artemisiifolia is a monoecious, wind-pollinated, annual herb native to North America whose height varies from 10 cm to 2.5 m, according to environmental conditions. It has erect, branched stems …
Contamination of rapeseed harvest by volunteers of other varieties : a study of intergenotypic competition
2004
Rapeseed volunteers in rapeseed crops can cause contamination in harvest through pollen and seeds. The aim of the study was to predict pollen and seed production by volunteers in winter rapeseed crops according to the genotypes of the crop and the volunteers. Firstly an experimental analysis of intraspecific competition was carried out in 2000 and 2001 on two and six genotypes, respectively. The main competition period begins with vegetation onset and affects pollen and seed production of the volunteers. Relations between density, height, yield and number of flowers were developed based on results from experiments and literature. Knowing the densities and heights of volunteers and crop on t…

Mesure de l’efficacité de la lutte contre l’ambroisie : étude de faisabilité
2013
Common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) is known for its high allergenic pollens and by the difficulty to control this invasive plant which make it a problem for public health and is a harmfulness in rural areas. This first work aims to make a feasibility study to verify the proper functioning of selected traps and the correct implementation of specific procedures. It was decided to use passive traps SIGMA2 (SIGMA2 Like Trap ou SLT). Two geographical areas were selected, each with 4 traps: an infested area in Isère and a slightly infested area in Côte d'Or. SLT traps used can well collect pollen from local areas, the collected quantities vary in a corresponding manner according to the d…

Impact of campaigns to control common ragweed on the pollen production in France
2014
National audience; The dispersion of common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) is anthropogenic, and because it is an invasive plant, a number of control procedures have been implemented whose effectiveness was measured. Measures on pollen emissions were compared between areas with different level of management. In addition to pollen traps of the French aerobiology network (RNSA), passive traps (SLT: SIGMA2 Like Trap) were positioned near controlled or non-controlled areas. Two areas were selected: - infested areas, in Rhône-Valley, 12 SLT were set up: 8 in Estrablin, with 2 in non-controlled areas and 6 in well-controlled areas; 4 near Valence, with one in non-controlled area and 3 in we…
