bringing in increased amounts of antifungal plant resins to ward off the pathogen The colony is willing to expend the energy
and effort of its worker bees to collect these resins, #says Dr. Michael Simone-Finstrom, a postdoctoral research scholar in NC State s Department of Entomology and lead author of a paper describing the research.
a mixture of plant resins and wax that has antifungal and antibacterial properties. Domesticated honey bees also use propolis,
Historically, U s. beekeepers preferred colonies that used less of this resin, because it is sticky
the main ingredient in the plant resins that are distilled today into turpentine. Under the right conditions, terpene behaves rather like octane,
which are the Eucalyptus gum trees) of Australia and Sequoia redwoods) of California. Both of those living trees can reach about 130 meters (425 feet) in height.
The tablets also contained starch pine resin beeswax and a mix of plant-and animal-derived fats perhaps including olive oil.
and medicines and pine resin may have kept the oil from going rancid and fought microbes due to its antiseptic properties.
Another type of medication is the bile-acid-binding resin which include the brand names Prevalite Questran Welchol and Colestid according to the Mayo Clinic.
For instance bees collect plant resins with antifungal and antimicrobial properties and bring it back to their hives to help them fight infection.
since resin is sticky and hard to work with; this has made likely bees more prone to infection de Roode said.
One chemical in bee resin has been shown to have inhibitory effects against HIV-1 de Roode said.

Take the gum arabic and gum karaya trees of southern Mali. For generations villagers cleared the trees for cattle land.
and tap the trees for their high-value resins which the company exports to Europe to meet the rising need for such materials in products from pharmaceuticals to cosmetics to baked goods.
The bandaging around the mummy contained remnants of an elaborate balm made of fat or oil and resin from a Pistacia tree a shrubby desert plant.
This resin was a luxury item in ancient Egypt Evershed and his colleagues report today (Nov 18) in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
but it was used not as a human mummification resin for at least 600 years after the deaths of Tjuiu and Yuya.
and spiced with resin and herbs including juniper mint and myrtle. The closest modern analogue is a Greek wine flavored with pine resin called retsina study researcher Assaf Yasur-Landau of the University of Haifa told reporters.
If you take retsina and you pour a bit of cough syrup inside I guess you get something quite similar Yasur-Landau said.
Resins would have helped preserve the wines. If the ancient wineswere anything like retsina the resins also would have lent a distinctive turpentine flavor to the beverage.
Honey sweetened the wine the researchers found and juniper mint cinnamon bark and other herbs flavored it.
and promote bacteria by secreting mucilage that supports all types of growth. For researchers in the lab of Edward Theriot at The University of Texas at Austin diatoms (and their snot) are rich objects of biological research.
for the molecular production of the mucilage. People have been trying to characterize that mucilage chemically for 20 years
and haven't come up with much information Ashworth said. Taking a transcriptome approach I can generate a lot of data very quickly
Four of the taxa they sequenced produce visible mucilage and the other three taxa do not
but are closely related to the mucilage producers. They believe that closely related diatoms should share similar transcriptomes except for the mucilage-related genes.
There are hundreds of genes involved in the assembly packaging and secretion of these products Ashworth said.
and a resin formation on the top that creates a dark spot said Richard Guyette director of the Tree Ring Lab at the University of Missouri.
In combination with Gum arabic (hardened sap obtained from the acacia tree) it can also delay the ripening of bananas.
Gum arabic can also be used on its own to enhance the shelf life and postharvest quality of tomatoes.
Herbs and spices such as bog myrtle yarrow juniper and birch resin added flavor and perhaps medicinal qualities.
Researchers found that this fermented maguey sap may have been stored in distinctive vaselike pottery vessels that were sealed with pine resin as well as in other less-specialized vessels.
By 5000 B c. people in the Zagros Mountains of northwestern Iran drank wine instilled with pine resin (for its preservative or medicinal properties.
The researchers found signatures of pine resin which has powerful antibacterial properties and was added likely at the vineyard to help preserve the wine.
The researchers noticed that the cellar's simplest wines those with only resin added were typically found in the jars lined up in a row against the wall near the outdoor entrance to the room.
As for the taste Koh said the ancient booze may have resembled modern retsina a somewhat divisive Greek wine flavored with pine resin described by detractors as having a note of turpentine.
Amber is fossilized tree resin. Before it hardened the resin oozed and flowed over bugs and debris on branches and tree bark trapping
and preserving them for millions of years. Dominican amber is especially valuable because it provides a rare window into life on the forest floor.
Trees there appeared either to secrete resin directly from the bases of their trunks or drop resin from their branches entombing creatures living beneath the forest canopy Heads said.
That's the case for the new pygmy locust species which was fossilized in amber after its death.
which stops the production of a protective toxic resin released by the tree and allows the beetles to continue to infest.
as well as fruit, fish, meat and resin. He says the DNA approach offers great promise for advances in terms of analysing amphora contents from archaeologically documented wrecks,
The analyses also revealed the characteristic fingerprints of pine resin, as well as herbs such as rosemary and basil,
the bat might just look shiny due to a glossy effect of the resin. Polyurethane could also work. thats the stuff bedliners are made out of...
Overall this growing trend is going to be a significant addition to total waste GDP as well as filling our landfills with more plastics and glues and resins and solvents etc.
Conifers naturally excrete the stuff in their resin lending the plants part of their distinctive scent.
They noticed that surface resin a residue of fighting off a beetle invasion was common only on patches of rough bark.
The team discovered that trees that had survived beetle attacks had more resin ducts than trees that were killed.
The number of resin ducts differed between trees of the same age and in general younger trees had more resin ducts than older trees.
The number of resin ducts--which is related to the trees'ability to pitch out the beetles--is counted easily by taking a small core of the tree.
There are very practical applications Ferrenberg said. These two traits are very easy to see on the tree.
Because young trees tend to have smoother bark as well as more resin ducts the research also suggests that land managers should consider cutting down some older trees
and they produce fragrant resin (styrax). Some species are cultivated also as ornamentals while others are prized locally highly for the roots
and composite resins in addition to leatherlike materials must be a priority if we are to benefit the environment
In 2012 Dixie Chemical began producing Wool's bio-based composite resins for a worldwide market.
The authors are also working with colleagues from University of Sydney to investigate the taxonomic value of aromatic resins which also appear to have therapeutic value.
Professor Abbott and his team at the Department of chemistry at the University of Leicester have developed a new wood-based product similar to MDF that uses a resin based on starch from completely natural sources including potatoes.
which are then pressurised and stuck together with resin and wax. The resin is composed currently of urea and formaldehyde (UF) the use
of which is restricted due to health concerns. Professor Abbott's new resin means that the use of UF is avoided
and therefore so too are associated the concerns. With the aid of colleagues at the Biocomposites Centre Bangor University and the Leicestershire-based retail design company Sheridan
and tree defenses like pitching beetles out of tree interiors with resin were likely high.
They made a mold to create model fish from resin tinted with grey pigment dabbing on eyes with black paint to make them look more realistic.
and wine in the middle East and Mediterranean) as well as compounds deriving from pine tree resin. Herbal additives to the wine were identified also including rosemary basil and/or thyme
These components probably originate in the tree resins that bees use to make propolis the bee glue
Wood ants incorporate an antimicrobial resin from conifer trees into their nests preventing microbial growth in the colony.
Honeybees are known to incorporate antimicrobial resins into their nests. Analysis of the honeybee genome suggests that they lack many of the immune-system genes of other insects raising the possibility that honeybees'use of medicine has been partly responsible
For example increases in parasitism and disease in honeybees can be linked to selection by beekeepers for reduced resin deposition by their bees.
The rosin and turpentine derived from their wood is rich in hydrocarbons similar but not identical to some components of petroleum.
Hydrocarbon-rich starting materials whether from petroleum or tree resin can be converted into various forms of
But processes for developing plastics from renewable sources such as rosin and turpentine are not nearly as developed.
and rosin three components of tree resin (and other natural products as well) that are plentiful sources of cycloaliphatic and aromatic structures.
or additives within similarly shaped wine jars including honey storax resin terebinth resin cedar oil cyperus juniper and possibly mint myrtle and cinnamon.
A toxic resin coats the leaves of the creosote bush; juniper toxins are found inside juniper needles.
One group was fed rabbit chow containing 1 percent of creosote resin for two days followed by rabbit chow with 2 percent of creosote resin for three days.
One group was placed on a diet of rabbit chow and creosote resin. With their gut microbes killed by the antibiotic they were unable to feed on creosote
which uses plant resins to build its nestsscott thought it might be chewing gum originally Moore said.
Turns out that M. campanulae was occasionally replacing plant resins with polyurethane-based exterior building sealant such as caulking in its brood cells--created in a nest to rear larva.
The greater surface area of cluster roots increases root exudates of organic acids and phosphatases. These exudates enhance plant phosphorus acquisition from unavailable forms in the soil.
I was particularly curious of the ecological role of this root adaptation explained Frida Piper a terrestrial ecosystem ecologist at the remote research center Centro de Investigaciã n en Ecosistemas de la
Piper is already exploring further research to understand how E. coccineum benefits neighbors by providing increased nutrient availability from root exudates
or extreme hybrid beverage rich in local ingredients including honey bog cranberry lingonberry bog myrtle yarrow juniper birch tree resin
In the past the Agathis resin known as manila copal was exploited for linoleum and varnishes but synthetics replaced most of that use.
They are preserved so rapidly after entering the resin that structures such as pollen grains and tubes can be detected with a microscope.
And the resin we use is green resin no formaldehyde. You could actually bite into it and it â¢s perfectly fine.
We're looking for resins to replace plastics, and new ways of reformulating earthen products like adobe.
Sustainable plastic manufacturer Cereplast announced that it can turn algae into a sustainable bioplastic resin,
tapioca and wheat, says algae-based plastic could replace up to 50 percent of petroleum content found in traditional plastic resin.
However, for our algae-based resins to be successful, we require the production of substantial quantities of algae feedstock.
but the company expects to make commercial algae bioplastic resin available by the end of next year.
 Nowadays, a lot of people are repairing valuable broken porcelain with a resin that's almost impossible to detect at first.
