“…The 14 timber species used for this research were selected from those most preferred and used by the rural population because of their availability, natural durability, and good construction quality (Wolf and Perales 1985;Carrillo et al 2008;Villalón and Carrillo 2010). Three straight trees from each species having no defect, insect, or mechanical damage, were randomly sampled from an area located at 99°11´56" and 25°08´59" in Linares, Nuevo León, Mexico.…”

& Background Thornscrubs are a vegetation type from Northeast Mexico, consisting of 60 to 80 tree and shrub species that are used for a wide range of constructive, decorative and energy purposes. However, basic research of the physical and mechanical wood properties are still needed to establish additional uses and, thereby, increase their value in the timber industry. & Method In this research, wood from fourteen native species were studied with regard to their basic density (BD), modulus of elasticity (MOE), and modulus of rupture (MOR), as well as the relationships between these three properties.& Results Results showed that the BD range was 0.48 g cm -3 ± 0.06 to 0.93 g cm -3 ±0.07, the lowest being for Leucaena leucocephala and the highest for Condalia hookeri. MOE range was 6.42 GPa ± 1.23 to 15.13 GPa ± 2.72, corresponding to Diospyros texana and Acacia schaffneri respectively. MOR range was 101 MPa±16 to 207 MPa±33 for Parkinsonia texana and Acacia schaffneri respectively. Correlations between BD and MOE, BD and MOR, and MOE and MOR were as follows: r=0.67, r=0.64 and r= 0.87 respectively. & Conclusion Values of modulus elasticity and rupture of studied species make them a promising general utility wood that can be recommended for a variety of structural and non-structural uses.

“…Supporting evidence showed that catechin was identified as the main free radical scavenger from the extract of Prosopis alba [12]. Similar reports shows the presence of major compounds in acetone and water extracts of Prosopis laevigata laevigata were identified as (-)-epicatechin, (+)-catechin and taxifolin which are quantitatively determined by liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC-UV) [13].…”

Large amount of lignocellulosic waste are generated through forestry and agricultural practices, which pose environmental pollution and can be converted into various different 'value added' products. Bioconversion of lignocellulosic waste by marine cyanobacteria could make a significant contribution to the production of organic chemicals. Cyanobacteria which are phototrophs and show high flexibility to varied environment because of their trophic independence to carbon and even nitrogen in a number of cases and play potential role in biodegradation. Thus biodegradation of P. juliflora using marine cyanobacterium O. laetevirens, result in release of phenolic compounds which were detected using phenol estimation followed by spectral analysis, TLC, HPLC,GC-MS and FTIR. The results clearly showed the presence of catechin like compound without any noticeable impurities in the extract of degraded P. juliflora when compared with control P. juliflora alone.

“…Johnst., using light microscopy coupled with a digitised image analysis system showed that the Holocellulose content ranged between 61.5 and 64.7% and Klason lignin content between 29.8 and 31.4%. Major compounds in acetone/water extracts were identified as (-)-epicatechin, (+)-catechin and taxifolin, and were quantitatively determined by liquid chromatography [47]. Later, a study on wood anatomy and ultrastructure of the three species of wood of Prosopis (Prosopis vinalillo, Prosopis alba and Prosopis nigra) growing in heterogeneous forest dry Chaqueño Park revealed that the three species showed similarity in the structural features of the subfamily Mimosoideae.…”

On the other hand, few studies discuss the role of the anatomical traits in the adaptation of the species to different habitats. In a study Solanum nigrum collected from different habitats in Europe and in Yugoslavia showed variability in terms of stomata number, number of hairs, thickness of lamina, palisade and spongy tissue, as well as the size of mesophyll cells of the species collected from different localities [15]. A similar study on the anatomical basis of resistance on plant species AbstractThe present paper make a synthesis of a comparative leaf anatomy including leaf surface, leaf lamina, petiole and venation as well as wood anatomy of 30 woody species of a Tamaulipan Thorn Scrub, Northeastern Mexico. The results showed a large variability in anatomical traits of both leaf and wood anatomy. The variations of these anatomical traits could be effectively used in taxonomic delimitation of the species and adaptation of the species to xeric environments. For example the absence or low frequency of stomata on leaf surface, the presence of long palisade cells, and presence of narrow xylem vessels in the wood could be related to adaptation of the species to drought. Besides the species with dense venation and petiole with thick collenchyma and sclerenchyma and large vascular bundle could be well adapted to xeric environments. It is suggested that a comprehensive consideration of leaf anatomy (leaf surface, lamina, petiole and venation) and wood anatomy should be used as a basis of taxonomy and drought resistance. of a typical arid Mediterranean ecosystem confirms the presence of several adaptive properties such as the presence of ergastic substances, mainly tannins and calcium oxalate in internal tissue, tolerance to the strong UV-B solar irradiance in the summer, besides the presence of trichomes, on the abaxial surfaces of leaves maintained water budget of the plants. In many species, trichomes or wax layers reduced radiation absorbance, two or three layers of palisade parenchyma presumably provide a better efficiency in utilizing the photosynthetic light. In almost every plant examined, stomata were sunken or well protected [16]. Research Advances on Leaf andA comparative study made in Venezuela on leaf epidermis of an orchid, Cattleya jenmani in vitro conditions demonstrated that compared to normal ones, the epidermal cells showed larger in size, lower anticlinal cell wall, lower size of stomata for adaptation of orchid, the leaves suffered changes in cells with an increase of mechanical resistance and rigidity [17].An ecophysiological study undertaken on two urban forestry species (Azadirachta indica and Millettia thonningii) demonstrated that the pattern of transpiration in M. thonningii was low in the morning, high in the noon and low in the afternoon. Leaf anatomical study revealed the presence of thick cuticle and high stomatal frequency in A. indica and a low stomatal frequency in M. thonningii [18]. Significant inter-cultivar differences among Hibiscus cultivars in leaf anatomical characteristics w...
