Handbook of Liverworts and Hornworts of the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands
Author: Creu Casas
Publisher: Institut d'Estudis Catalans
ISBN: 9788492583553
Category : Hornworts (Bryophytes)
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
This volume is concerned with liverworts and hornworts of the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands. Biogeographically it covers the Mediterranean and Eurosiberian regions. This handbook comprises identification keys to generic and specific level with corresponding illustrations. Each genus includes a short morphological description referring only to the species that appear in the present work. In monospecific genera the species name follows the description; if plurispecific a key to species is given. We recognised 286 species, which represent 68% of the European hepatic flora.

Publisher: สำนักงานบริหารงานวิจัย มหาวิทยาลัยเชียงใหม่
ISBN: 6163986903
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Liverworts, (division Marchantiophyta), are any of more than 7,000 species of small non-vascular spore-producing plants. Liverworts are distributed worldwide, though they are most commonly found in the tropics area. In Thailand, liverworts have been collected and studied since 1899. The book “Liverwort genera of Thailand” by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phiangphak Sukkharak, Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Burapha University, provides a synopsis on the liverwort genera of Thailand, in which 520 species in 93 genera and 39 families have been reported, representing about 7% of the world’s liverwort species. The book consists of an introduction to liverworts, history of liverwort studies in Thailand, classification of liverworts in Thailand, key to genera of liverworts found in Thailand, generic descriptions, illustrations, discussion of the most important features for identification, data on the distribution and ecology, as well as the number of species worldwide and in Thailand.

Bioactive Compounds in Bryophytes and Pteridophytes
Author: Hosakatte Niranjana Murthy
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3031232437
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 774
Book Description
This reference work provides a comprehensive overview of bioactive compounds investigated in bryophytes and pteridophytes and explores their nutritional, biological, pharmacological and ecological effects. Bryophytes are cosmopolitan lower plants that are rich in phytochemicals including fatty acids, tocopherols, phenolics, terpenoids. Additionally, these plants contain bibenzyls, bis-benzyls, and polyketides which have been demonstrated to have antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic activities. Pteridophytes are another group of lower vascular plants which were reported to have useful secondary compounds such as flavonoids, steroids, phenolics, terpenoids, and these plants impart medicinal values including antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-HIV activities. This book contains comprehensive contributions compiled by expert scientists and researchers in this field.The book offers a useful resource for plant biotechnologists, plant biologists, pharmacologists, pharmacists, food technologists, nutritionists, research investigators of the healthcare industry, academia, faculty, and students of biology and biomedical sciences. It also provides a strategic framework for further research and development activities of bryophytes and pteridophytes of the world.
