What's the difference between apocynaceous and oleander?
Apocynaceous
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Apocyneous
Example Sentences:
Oleander
Definition:
(n.) A beautiful evergreen shrub of the Dogbane family, having clusters of fragrant red or white flowers. It is native of the East Indies, but the red variety has become common in the south of Europe. Called also rosebay, rose laurel, and South-sea rose.
Example Sentences:
(1) Large doses of dsFab are efficacious in the treatment of dysrhythmias in this canine model of N oleander cardiac glycoside poisoning.
(2) A seven-year total population survey from south-east Queensland has revealed that, in practice, the rate of clinical poisoning due to oleander is inconsequential, and mortality is negligible.
(3) In oleander isolates, the genes encoding the IAA biosynthetic enzymes are located on a plasmid; in olive isolates, the genes occur on the chromosome.
(4) When the iaaL+ locus of an oleander gall isolate was inactivated by Tn5 mutagenesis, the resulting mutant did not convert IAA to IAA-lysine; however, it accumulated fivefold more IAA in culture than the wild type did.
(5) Strains isolated from oleander galls are capable of further metabolizing IAA to an amino acid conjugate, 3-indoleacetyl-epsilon-L-lysine (IAA-lysine); bacterial olive gall isolates lack this activity.
(6) Toxic effects of yellow oleander (Thevetia neriifolia Juss) seed kernels were evaluated against the roof rat (Rattus rattus Linn).
(7) Clinical presentation, course and management of thirteen patients of suicidal poisoning with seeds of yellow-oleander were studied.
(8) In a fatal (cardiotoxic) case of oleander extract poisoning of a young female, ethanol extracts of blood and tissue homogenates were purified by lead acetate.
(9) Once established, the bacteria spreads via fluid-feeding insects and its varying strains have a notoriously large alternative host plant range, affecting oak, sycamore, citrus, cherry, almond, grapefruit, peach, oleander and forest trees.
(10) The two common oleanders, Thevetia peruviana and Nerium oleander, contain a mixture of poisons including cardiac glycosides, and are extremely toxic.
(11) In this study, the cloned gene for IAA-lysine synthetase (iaaL+) was introduced into strains isolated from olive and oleander galls to determine its effect on the regulation of IAA pool size and virulence.
(12) For example, plastocyanins from poplar, oleander, French bean, and spinach have their most intense feature at approximately 425 cm-1; azurins show greatest intensity at approximately 410 cm-1, stellacyanin and ascorbate oxidase at approximately 385 cm-1, and nitrite reductase at approximately 360 cm-1.
(13) Jaundice and renal failure in yellow oleander poisoning have not been reported previously.
(14) Of the plants tested, 5 (oleander, lupine, foxglove, yew leaves, and dieffenbachia) were considered highly toxic and were associated with acute death of birds.
(15) The genetic determinants for IAA synthesis are located on a plasmid (pIAA) and are organized in an operon in oleander strains of the bacterium.
(16) A water extraction of crushed leaves of Nerium oleander yielded 2.3% of a crude polysaccharide.
(17) Digoxin-specific Fab antibody fragments have not been used in oleander poisoning, but these might prove to be lifesaving.
(18) When inoculated into oleander plants, the iaaL mutant did not cause typical gall symptoms, nor did it replicate within host tissue similarly to the wild type.
(19) The usefulness of digoxin radioimmunoassay to demonstrate poisoning with oleander (but not to predict the degree of toxicity) and the potential use of digoxin-specific Fab-antibody fragments in this situation are discussed.
(20) savastanoi incites the production of galls on olive and oleander plants.
