What's the difference between morinda and rubiaceous?
Morinda
Definition:
(n.) A genus of rubiaceous trees and shrubs, mostly East Indian, many species of which yield valuable red and yellow dyes. The wood is hard and beautiful, and used for gunstocks.
Example Sentences:
(1) Alcoholic extracts of the rhizomes of Alpinia galanga, Andrographis paniculata, bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum, rind of Citrus decumana, Desmodium triflorum, seeds of Hydnocarpus wightiana, rhizomes of Kaempfaria galanga, Lippia nodiflora, tender leaves of Morinda citrifolia, rhizomes of Pollia serzogonian, Tephrosia purpuria and rhizomes of Zingiber zerumbeth showed good in vitro anthelmintic activity against human Ascaris lumbricoides.
(2) The mariner situation in D. sechellia may reflect a reduced effective population size owing to the restricted geographical range of this species and its ecological specialization to the fruit of Morinda citrifolia.
(3) Drosophila sechellia, endemic to the Seychelles, breeds in a single resource, Morinda citrifolia, whereas its close sympatric relative, Drosophila simulans, is a cosmopolitan generalist breeding in a great variety of resources.
(4) Egg production is stimulated by morinda in D. sechellia but inhibited in D. simulans; in hybrids, the inhibition observed in D. simulans is dominant.
(5) We have investigated the effects of leaf and bark decoctions of Ocimum gratissimum, Azadirachta indica, Morinda lucida and Enantia chlorantha on (a) the course of Plasmodium yoelii nigeriensis malaria (b) reticulocyte and haematocrit values and (c) nucleated cell numbers in the spleen, bone marrow, peritoneum, liver and peripheral blood of Swiss albino mice.
(6) The repository action of pyrimethamine was also compared with Morinda lucida.
(7) It is interesting to note that Morinda lucida leaves extract appears to have schizontocidal and repository effects in mice infected with P. berghei berghei.
(8) Morinda fruit is highly toxic to Drosophila species, except D. sechellia.
(9) The leaf extract of Morinda lucida collected in August was administered subcutaneously to albino Swiss mice infected with P. berghei berghei.
(10) The tolerance of D. sechellia to morinda is fully dominant in F1 hybrids.
(11) From chloroform extract of the root of Morinda officinalis, eight anthraquinones were isolated whose structures were deduced to be rubiadin (I), rubiadin-1-methyl ether (II), 1-hydroxyanthraquinone (III), 1-hydroxy-2-methylanthraquinone (IV), 1,6-dihydroxy-2,4-dimethoxyanthraquinone (V), 1,6-dihydroxy-2-methoxyanthraquinone (VI), 1-hydroxy-2-methoxyanthraquinone (VII) and physcion (VIII).
(12) There are three kinds of plants, Morinda officinalis (1), Damnacanthus officinarum (2), and Schisandra propinqua (3) whose roots have been used since the ancient time.
(13) By using the techniques of growing seedlings in bowshaped shed covered with plastic sheeting plus treatment with plant growth regulator, vegetative and generative propagation tests have been made of Morinda officinalis.
(14) Morinda lucida extracts, the stem bark, the root bark and the leaves were screened for antimalarial activity in a "4-day schizontocidal test' against a chloroquine-sensitive strain of P. berghei berghei in mice.
(15) In the field, adult flies of the two species exhibit opposite behavior in that D. sechellia is attracted to morinda and D. simulans is attracted to banana; hybrids have an intermediate behavior.
(16) The schizontocidal activity on early infection was assessed by administering chloroquine (standard) distilled water or Morinda lucida as single daily dose on day 0-3 to infected mice.
(17) Scientific evidences have thus been provided for growing seedlings of Morinda officinalis.
(18) The effects of three compounds, digitolutein (1), rubiadin 1-methyl ether (2) and damnacanthal (3) extracted from the stem bark and the roots of Morinda lucida Benth.
(19) Morinda is an oviposition attractant for D. sechellia but a repellent for D. simulans; F1 hybrids and backcross individuals exhibit intermediate, approximately additive, behavior.
(20) The traditional therapeutic indications for the use of Morinda citrifolia L. (Rubiaceae) have been investigated.
Rubiaceous
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to a very large natural order of plants (Rubiaceae) named after the madder (Rubia tinctoria), and including about three hundred and seventy genera and over four thousand species. Among them are the coffee tree, the trees yielding peruvian bark and quinine, the madder, the quaker ladies, and the trees bearing the edible fruits called genipap and Sierre Leone peach, besides many plants noted for the beauty or the fragrance of their blossoms.
Example Sentences:
(1) Pachystigma pygmaeum is one of several species of rubiaceous plants which cause delayed heart failure among ruminants after their ingestion at relatively high doses.
