Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro TRPV1 activity of piperine derived amides
TL;DR: Structural changes of double bonds and stereochemistry in the aliphatic chain of these compounds did not change their potency or efficacy, indicating that increased rigidity or planarity of the piperine structure does not affect the activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographic Variation in Host-Specificity and Parasitoid Pressure of an Herbivore (Geometridae) Associated with the Tropical Genus Piper (Piperaceae)
TL;DR: Quantified levels of host-specificity and parasitoid attack for the specialist herbivore, Eois (Geometridae), reveal that Eois are exposed to a mosaic of potential selective pressures due to variation in parasitoids attack over a large spatial scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Broad spectrum corrosion inhibition: corrosion and microbial (SRB) growth inhibiting effects of Piper guineense extract

TL;DR: In this article, the corrosion inhibition and biocidal efficacy of aqueous extracts of Piper guineense (PG) was evaluated on low-carbon steel corrosion in 1-M HCl and 0.5-m H2SO4 using gravimetric and electrochemical techniques, whereas the agar disc diffusion method was employed to determine the effect of the extract on the corrosion-associated sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB), Desulfotomaculum species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inter-and Intraspecific Comparisons of Antiherbivore Defenses in Three Species of Rainforest Understory Shrubs
R. M. Fincher,Lee A. Dyer,Craig D. Dodson,J. L. Richards,M. A. Tobler,Justin Searcy,J. E. Mather,A. J. Reid,J. S. Rolig,W. Pidcock +9 more
TL;DR: Ecological costs were evident for the array of defensive mechanisms within these Piper species, and the differences in defensive strategies among species may represent evolutionary trade-offs between costly defenses.

A revised medium for rapid growth and bio assays with tobacco tissue cultures
Toshio Murashige,Folke Skoog +1 more
TL;DR: In vivo redox biosensing resolves the spatiotemporal dynamics of compartmental responses to local ROS generation and provide a basis for understanding how compartment-specific redox dynamics may operate in retrograde signaling and stress 67 acclimation in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confidence limits on phylogenies: an approach using the bootstrap.
TL;DR: The recently‐developed statistical method known as the “bootstrap” can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies and shows significant evidence for a group if it is defined by three or more characters.
Journal ArticleDOI
MODELTEST: testing the model of DNA substitution.
David Posada,Keith A. Crandall +1 more
TL;DR: The program MODELTEST uses log likelihood scores to establish the model of DNA evolution that best fits the data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dating of the human-ape splitting by a molecular clock of mitochondrial DNA.
TL;DR: A new statistical method for estimating divergence dates of species from DNA sequence data by a molecular clock approach is developed, and this dating may pose a problem for the widely believed hypothesis that the bipedal creatureAustralopithecus afarensis, which lived some 3.7 million years ago, was ancestral to man and evolved after the human-ape splitting.
