(n.) A widely dispersed genus of shrubs and trees, usually with aromatic foliage. It includes the bayberry or wax myrtle, the sweet gale, and the North American sweet fern, so called.
Example Sentences:
(1) The results indicate that the brown algal species Cystosira myrica, Sargassum asperifolium, Sargassum neglectum, and Sargassum subrepandum always contain the highest concentrations of lead and zinc, but these algae are less contaminated than brown algae from industrial European seas.
(2) This study reports that the methanol extracts of Caryophylli Flos, Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Polygoni Avicularis Herba, Myricae Cortex and Forsythiae Fructus protect the hepatic injury by CC14 and these protective effects are connected with the inhibitory effects of the lipid peroxidation in hepatic microsomes.
(3) Among them methanol extracts of Caryophylli Flos, Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Polygoni Avicularis Herba, Myricae Cortex and Forsythiae Fructus were newly found to have protective effects against acute hepatic injury induced by CCl4.
(4) A potent non-peptide ET receptor antagonist, myriceron caffeoyl ester (50-235), was isolated from the bayberry, Myrica cerifera.
(5) Sixteen Frankia strains were isolated from Myrica pennsylvanica (bayberry) root nodules collected at diverse sites in New Jersey.
(6) There was a good correlation between the results, since there was not one single sample which could induce nodules in Myrica which did not do the same in alder.
(7) Myrica gale effect on microorganisms in the carbon cycle is studied in this work by comparing soil samples collected under the canopy in summer and control samples.
(8) The effects of 5 crude drugs (Myricae Cortex, Polygoni Avicularis Herba, Hyperici Erecti Herba, Forsythiae Fructus, Desmodii Herba) on subacute and chronic hepatic injuries induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) or alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT) were investigated in rats.
(9) The nodules formed on M. gale plants grown in soils collected from alder habitats showed acetylene-reducing activity at a level comparable to that described in the literature, in the case of other Myrica species.
(10) Soils from A. glutinosa communities particularly from places where Myrica was absent, were checked for their infectivity towards M. gale.
(11) The methanol extract from the bark of Myrica rubra SIEB.
(12) The filter exclusion method was used to isolate Frankia strains from Myrica pennsylvanica (bayberry) root nodules collected at diverse sites in New Jersey.
(13) In addition, Scutellariae Radix, Caryophylli Flos and Myricae Cortex were shown to have inhibitory effects of non-enzymatic lipid peroxidation in rat hepatic mitochondria.
(14) One hundred soil samples from sites in North, Centre and West of Spain were examined for their capacity to induce nodules in alder (Alnus glutinosa) and bog myrtle (Myrica gale).
