Vitis vinifera

range of contamination. Serra Gaúcha has a distinct climatic condition for vineyards, with an annual average temperature of 17ºC, rainfall of 1700 mm and relative humidity of 76%. While most of the world’s vineyards grow the European cultivars (V. vinifera) which produces fine wine, in Brazil due to the high humidity conditions, this species was affected by fungal disease and did not adapt to Brazilian conditions. ThusThus, the rustic North American cultivars of V. labrusca were introduced,…

Topical hemostatic agents are now frequently used in surgical and trauma sites. Ankaferd blood stopper (ABS) is a hemostatic agent composed of plant extracts, specifically Urtica dioca (0.06 mg/ml),Vitis vinifera (0.08 mg/ml), Glycyrrhiza glabra (0.07 mg/ml), Alpinia vinifera officinarum (0.07 mg/ml) and Thymus vulgaris (0.05 mg/ml). Each of these constituents has some effect on the endothelium, blood cells, angiogenesis, cellular proliferations, vascular dynamics, and cell mediators…

Effects of Temperature and Substrate Concentration on Catalase Kristen Clark Biology 101 Lab Section 041 9/22/14 Brandon Stroup Abstract Catalase is an enzyme found in every living organism and is essential for cells. This lab explores how catalase reacts to four different temperatures and how the concentration percentage of substrate affects its reaction rate. The performance of catalase is dependent on many factors, so the purpose of the lab was to find the ideal concentration and…

Introduction Distribution of species is an important factor in a community. Depending on the biome, specific factors could have an effect on which species are found in certain areas; for instance, the woody plant distribution of species in a temperate deciduous forest can be affected by a variety of parameters. Temperate deciduous forests themselves are affected greatly by global factors, like climate change, and human agriculture (Reich et al 2002); the woody plants that populate the majority…
