“…Maturation of fruits is usually accompanied by the accumulation of sugars and anthocyanins. [24][25][26] In our present study, the color of C. officinalis fruits turned red in CF3 by the accumulation of anthocyanin, which was confirmed by color-difference meter. In addition, sugar content of CF3 was higher compared to CF1 and CF2 (data not shown).…”

Efficient preparation of loganin from Cornus officinalis fruits was investigated. First, effect of extraction conditions on loganin yield was measured. The loganin content in C. officinalis extract was greatly affected by ethanol concentration and extraction time whereas extraction temperature exerted relatively little effect. Response surface methodology with Box-Behnken design suggested optimized extraction condition for maximum loganin yield as ethanol concentration, 32.0%; temperature 46.2 °C and extraction time, 46.7 min, which yielded 10.4 μg loganin/mg dried fruit. Next, the effect of maturation stage of C. officinalis fruits on loganin content was investigated. The loganin content in the extract of C. officinalis fruits was decreased as the maturation process. The loganin content in the unripe fruits was 18.0 μg/mg extract whereas reduced to 13.3 μg/mg extract for ripe fruits. Taken together, our present study suggested the importance of extraction condition and maturation stages for efficient preparation of loganin from C. officinalis fruits.

The healing activity of hydroalcoholic extracts at 2.5 % of leaves, wood and stem bark of Ximenia americana L. was experimentally investigated in surgically induced skin wounds in mice. The phytochemical study revealed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, saponins and steroids. The wound regression percentage was higher in the groups treated with the plant at 14 (80 %) and 21 days (100 %) when compared to the negative control group, and there was a significant reduction (p <0.05) in mononuclear cells number. The fibroplasia process was more evident in the group treated with the stem bark evidenced by the significant increase of fibroblasts, reaching more than 150 % in 21 days period. Hydroalcoholic extracts of X. americana were favorable to the healing process through wound regression, inflammatory cells reduction and increase of fibroblasts number. A atividade cicatrizante dos extratos hidroalcoólicos a 2,5 % das folhas, cascas e madeira do caule de Ximenia americana L. foi investigada experimentalmente em feridas cutâneas cirurgicamente induzidas em camundongos. O estudo fitoquímico revelou a presença de taninos, flavonoides, saponinas e esteroides. O percentual de regressão da ferida foi maior nos grupos tratados com a planta aos 14 (80 %) e 21 dias (100 %) quando comparados ao grupo controle negativo, havendo também redução significativa (p<0,05) do número de células mononucleares. O processo de fibroplasia foi mais evidente no grupo tratado com a casca do caule evidenciado pelo aumento significativo de fibroblastos, chegando a mais de 150 % no período de 21 dias. Os extratos hidroalcoólicos da X. americana mostraram-se favoráveis ao processo de cicatrização através da regressão da ferida, redução de células inflamatórias e aumento do número de fibroblastos.

“…The fructification period is annual and is concentrated between October and December, soon in the first rains. In all areas of its occurrence, wild plum is much researched due to its therapeutic activities based on popular knowledge, with emphasis on the discovery of new drugs (Brasileiro et al, 2008;Olabissi et al, 2011;Almeida et al, 2016). In Brazil, there are few studies on biology and ecology for most species of fruit flies.…”

Bioecology of Anastrepha alveata Stone (Diptera: Tephritidae) associated with wild plum fruits Ximenia americana L. (Olacaceae)

Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are considered important pests of fruticulture due to considerable losses to production and limitation to free transit of fresh fruits. A generalist species is cresature that can live or feed on a wide variety of environemnts or host plants. Although, Anastrepha is a generalist species but infests a small range of plants. The specificity of this species with host plants is a peculiar characteristic of genus Anastrepha. Therefore, it is important to understand the host species and its feeding behaviour on host plants. This way, we will better know its ecology, biology and evolution for rational control ways and measures. Therefore, this study aimed at understanding the biology of Anastrepha alveata Stone (Diptera: Tephritidae). A study was carried out under controlled laboratory conditions (27 ± 2°C temperature, 70 ± 5% RH, photoperiod 12 hours) during the period from November/2015 to October/2017. Anastrepha alveata adults were obtained from wild plum fruits Ximenia americana L. (Olacaceae), collected from Savanna area in two fructification periods. One-hundred and fifty Anastrepha alveata adults were collected (60 females and 90 males) to determine sexual maturity, mating behavior, fecundity and longevity. The sexual maturity for Anastrepha alveata was 8-13 days after emergence for females. At this age they emitted signal of acceptance for mating and copulation. For males, 5-7 days after emergence this mating signals was given, which was characterized by the protrusion of the lateral abdominal pleural glands. The mating rhythm of Anastrepha alveata was crepuscular/nocturnal, beginning around 6 p.m. and extending to/after 9 p.m. Anastrepha alveata females did not mate with more than one male but mated more than once. The number of males did not affect significantly the mating time, the number of eggs and the longevity of Anastrepha alveata. The mean pupal period for Anastrepha alveata was 17.5 days. Two preferential peaks for adult emergence were observed at 10:00 am and 03:00 pm. The longevity of the adult insects was greater than 300 days, surviving until the fructification of its host (wild plum) in the following year. Therefore, A. alveata has a strictly monophagous food habit associated with the Ximenia americana host.
