Commelinaceae) shows an extra absorption band at 583 nm at pH values above 4.0, which makes this pigment highly colored at these pH values.The high stability of this type of pigments with as much as four acyl units was assumed to be due to the difficulty of water molecule diffusion to the hydrophobic center formed by the acyl groups and the aglycone. 

In all, 40 families had more than 50% of their genera sampled, and 23 families had more than 100 samples each (Table 3.2). These were primarily families of woody plants that are important structural components of forests, are species that lend themselves to being divided into component samples, and are often of widespread taxa. Of families with 50% or more of their genera collected, only Marantaceae, Commelinaceae, and Polygalaceae are primarily herbaceous and represent only 32 of the 722 genera in these 40 families. In addition, Acanthaceae and Asteraceae were the only primarily herbaceous families from which more than 100 samples had been collected, but both are very large families that are well represented in the flora of tropical Africa.

Thus, although traditional herbal medicines are candidates for diabetes prevention, it is very important to give scientific evidence for their antidiabetic effects. Commdina communis (Commelinaceae) has been used in traditional Chinese medicine as an antipyretic for noninfectious fever and to treat ascites, edema, and hordeolum [113], and is now very popular in Korea for the treatment of diabetes [114].

Several species in the family Commelinaceae, of which Tradescantia is a member, have features particularly well suited for certain radiobiological studies. Effects produced by ionizing radiations which are easily studied include (1) chromosome aberrations in microspores, root tips, ovaries, and stamen hairs (2) somatic mutations in petals and stamen hairs in clones heterozygous for flower color (3) pollen abortion (4) loss of reproductive integrity in stamen hairs and (5) whole plant or seedling death. The stamen hairs of Tradescantia clone 02 have also proved...
