Salvia divinorum is a vision-inducing and medicinal plant of Mexico. It contains an unidentified acetone-soluble compound(s) which inhibits the growth of rod-shaped bacteria on starch agar. Preliminary testing also indicated that a water-soluble compound(s) in S. divinorum slowed the frequency and increased the duration ofphasic contractions in the duodenal smooth muscle of mice. [Pg.424]

Most Asteraceae are herbs or little shrubs. The trees of the genus Montanoa (tree daisy) therefore stand out as very unusual plants. They also are very showy during the flowering season. But the genus also includes one of the most important medicinal plants of Mexico, Montanoa tomentosa. [Pg.285]

There are two main processes for conversion of celestite, ie, strontium sulfate, to strontium carbonate. The principal process is the black ash process. Strontium nitrate is produced by dissolving celestite in nitric acid and purifying it. Most other strontium compounds are produced from strontium nitrate. To service this market, NOAH Technologies Corporation (San Antonio, Texas) has estabUshed a plant in Mexico to manufacture most commercial- and reagent-grade strontium compounds except strontium carbonate. [Pg.473]

In Mexico there exist two major insect pests of corn, an armyworm Laphygma frugiperda (A. S.), which breeds and feeds in the leaf whorls of young corn, and the larvae of certain coleoptera which inhabit the soil and feed upon the roots of the corn plants. Of these two the armyworm is the most important. Its attack is particularly severe on corn grown during the summer but, as it is able to breed continuously, it is a problem in corn grown throughout the year in the tropics. [Pg.5]

Jhon Castaneda-Gomez is a native of Manizales, Colombia. He obtained his B.Sc (1999) from the University of Caldas and his M.Sc. (2007) from Del Valle University in Colombia. He has completed two years of the Ph.D. program at the School of Chemistry, National Autonomous University of Mexico, and working at the Department of Pharmacy on the development of analytical techniques for the isolation of complex polysaccharides from plant sources. [Pg.184]

Studies on Piqueria trinervia. A very interesting study is that of the allelopathic potential of Piqueria trinervia and its piquerols A and B, by Gonzalez de la Parra et al. (14). It was found that this widely distributed weed in the Valley of Mexico has a wide biological activity upon other plants. [Pg.100]

It is not known how long vanilla has been used as a spice, but it dates back at least 1,000 years. The first known cultivators of vanilla were the Totonac people in the Veracruz region of Mexico, who regarded vanilla as a sacred plant and used it as a deodorant. The use of vanilla was acquired by the Aztecs after their invasion and interaction with the Totonacs. The Aztecs called vanilla tlibcochitl, which translates as black flower, a reference to the dark brown-black color of the dried pods after curing. Aztec royalty used vanilla to sweeten the bitter taste of their cocoa drink xocolatl and for medicinal purposes. The Spanish explorer Hernando Cortez... [Pg.291]

The civilization of Europe had known nothing like these novel drugs of Mexico, at least not in recorded history. Similar miraculous powers were attributed, in a way, to the Elements in the Mass and the Catholic Church in Mexico was quick to perceive this, to it, alarming parallel. But belief in the divinity of the Sacrament called for an act of faith, whereas the Mexican plants spoke for themselves. [Pg.283]
