Com silk

One additional factor that comes into play in the overall chemistry of the communication system relates to chemical signals from host plants that can override the photoperiodic control of phermone production. With the com earworm, it was found that a volatile chemical signal from com silk, probably ethylene, was required by wild insects for stimulation of pheromone production (33). This signal probably interacts with controls on the photoperiodic release of PBAN. 

Mineral oils are also nsed to rednce com earworm infestation. Two or three drops applied to com silk with an eyedropper may protect the ear from infestation by com earworms for a few days. Do not apply until the silk has wilted and begnn to turn brown on the ends or pollination may be affected. 

Sulphurous acid gas is absorhed by water and hence, in order to examine its properties in that state, it must he collected over moreury. It is colorless and transparent, having a peculiar irritating odor, and cannot be respired. It is neither combustible, nor a supporter of combustion. It possesses bleaching properties, owing to wliich it is used in the arts to whiten straw bonnets, com, silk, sponges, and other substances if a red rose be expesed to the flame of burning sulphur, it becomes completely white. 

Com silk possesses diuretic and stone-reducing properties. It has been used for cystitis, urethritis, nocturnal enuresis, prostatitis, and specifically for acute or chronic inflammation of the urinary system. 

For species whose larvae are specialist feeders, finding suitable plants for oviposition is of great importance. Com earworm moths, Heliothis armigera, will oviposit on twine impregnated with an extract of com silk (15.). The rice stemborer, Chilo oleiadellus. female will be attracted to and oviposit near a component of rice plants identified as p-methylacetophenone (16). Some of these oviposition attractants are contact materials and, thus, are probably of no use in practical applications. This is the case for many of the butterflies of the Nymphalid family. The Indian butterfly, Papilio demoleus. seems to require some non-volatile component in citrus leaves to induce oviposition, although it seems to be attracted, at least partially, to the odor of the leaves (17.). 

Diuretica substance that increases urinary output. Most diuretics can be divided into two groups irritating diuretics (juniper, cubebs) and nonirritating (com silk, pipsissewa).

Coarse erect annual with prop (adventitious) roots near the ground and long sword-shaped leaves, one at each node up to 4 m high generally thought to be a native of tropical America. Parts used are the long styles and stigmata of the pistils called com silk the dried product is normally used. 

Com silk has diuretic, hypoglycemic, and hypotensive activities in experimental animals. A dialyzed methanol-insoluble fraction of its aqueous extract has been demonstrated to be strongly diuretic in humans and rabbits the toxicity of this fraction was low when compared with its effective dose. Lethal intravenous dose in rabbits was 250mg/kg, while effective dose was 1.5mg/kg (jiANGSu). 

Com silk and its aqueous extracts are also reported to be effective in kidney and other diseases during clinical trials (jiangsu).

Used in certain diuretic preparations, often in combination with com silk, doggrass, and others.
