What's the difference between forsythia and honeysuckle?
Forsythia
Definition:
(a.) A shrub of the Olive family, with yellow blossoms.
Example Sentences:
(1) Arenarioside and forsythoside B act in Forsythia species as good hybridization markers.
(2) A crude cell-free extract from Forsythia intermedia catalyses the formation of (-)secoisolariciresinol, and not its (+) enantiomer, when incubated with coniferyl alcohol in the presence of NAD(P)H and H2O2.
(3) 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.
(4) 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.
(5) The radiation protective mechanisms on skin injury induced by soft X-irradiation were investigated by use of various radiation protective agents such as sulfur compounds (MEA, MEG, thiourea), nucleic acid constitutional compounds (adenosine, inosine), antioxidative compounds (sesamol, ferulic acid, ascorbic acid), crude drugs (Rosae Fructus, Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, Trapae Fructus, Forsythiae Fructus, Aloe arborescens).
(6) 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.
(7) In vivo labeling experiments of Forsythia intermedia plant tissue with [8-14C]- and [9,9-2H2,OC2H3]coniferyl alcohols revealed that the lignans, (-)-secoisolariciresinol and (-)-matairesinol, were derived from two coniferyl alcohol molecules; no evidence for the formation of the corresponding (+)-enantiomers was found.
(8) Chromoplasts having a globular inner structure in the petals of Forsythia suspensa can form starch grains in their stroma when incubated with glucose solution.
(9) On a dull March afternoon, a riot of municipal planting is in flower: forsythia, fuchsia, daffodils, croci, and pansies.
(10) Forsythia suspensa is a widely used traditional Chinese herb.
(11) Significant inhibitory effects of Fructus Forsythiae, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Radix Angelicae Sinensis and Ligustrazini Hydrochloridum on elastase were observed and Fructus Forsythiae proved the most effective.
(12) They are Datura metal L., Artemisia capillaris Thunb., Carthamus tinctorius L., Forsythia suspensa Thumb., Rehmannia glutinosa f. Hueichingensis (fermented), Paeonia suffruticosa Andr., Platycodon grandiflorum Jacq.
(13) As a result of these study, 16 kinds of crude drugs such as Rosae Fructus, Aloe arborescens (Herba), Citri Leiocarpae Exocarpium, Schizonepetae Spica, Evodiae Fructus, Bupleuri Radix, Corni Fructus, Perillae Herba, Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, Menthae Herba, Trapae Fructus, Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, Sinomeni Caulis et Rhizoma, Ephedrae Herba, Acer nikoense (Cortex), Forsythiae Fructus, revealed protective potencies on skin injury.
Honeysuckle
Definition:
(n.) One of several species of flowering plants, much admired for their beauty, and some for their fragrance.
Example Sentences:
(1) This paper deal with the harm done to Honeysuckle by the oriental carpenter moth.
(2) But this year earlier-than-ever autumn colours and fruits have been mixed with prolonged signs of summer wildlife such as dragonflies, butterflies and grass snakes, and spring flowers such as magnolia, apple blossom and honeysuckle blooming – making it a truly extraordinary season.
(3) They pointed out bigger objects: a Play School flower clock; a receiver from Honeysuckle Creek tracking station (remember the film The Dish ?
(4) This ancient woodland was a tangle of honeysuckle and hawthorn; its most charismatic resident a huge pear tree.
