Disease relevance of Typhaceae

• Accumulation of heavy metals in Typha angustifolia (L.) and Potamogeton pectinatus (L.) living in Sultan Marsh (Kayseri, Turkey) [1].

High impact information on Typhaceae

• Relative proportions of aerobic, denitrifying, and sulfate-reducing bacteria were determined in the rhizosphere of Typha latifolia, Canna indica, and Phragmites australis [2].
• Typha latifolia was able to grow with both N sources at near neutral pH levels, but the plants had higher relative growth rates, higher tissue concentrations of the major nutrients, higher contents of adenine nucleotides, and higher affinity for uptake of inorganic nitrogen when grown on NH(4)(+) [3].
• Phragmites showed higher ABA levels compared to Typha [4].
• O-acetylserine (thiol) lyase activity in Phragmites and Typha plants under cadmium and NaCl stress conditions and the involvement of ABA in the stress response [4].
• OASTL activity increased under stress (25-300 microM Cd, 100mM NaCl, 1 microM ABA) in both Typha and Phragmites mainly in roots, contributing substantially to satisfy the higher demand of cysteine for adaptation and protection [4].

Biological context of Typhaceae

• Acetylation and silylation of piperidine solubilized sporopollenin from pollen of Typha angustifolia L [5].

Associations of Typhaceae with chemical compounds

• In the Typha bed Se migrated faster than in the Phragmites bed [6].
• The adsorption of cadmium, mercury and lead by Cattails (Typha Plant) and human hair has been investigated to assess their possible use as adsorbents in the treatment of industrial wastewater [7].
• Typhaphthalide and typharin, two phenolic compounds from Typha capensis [8].
• A high population of atrazine degraders (approximately 10(6) g(-1)) and enhanced rates of atrazine mineralization also developed in bioaugmented sediment after incubation in flooded mesocosms planted with cattails (Typha latifolia) and supplemented with atrazine (3.2 mg l(-1), 1 microg g(-1) sediment) [9].
• Intact cores of peat, overlying plant litter, and surface water were collected at seven locations in cattail (Typha domingensis Pers.) and sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense Crantz) stands along a phosphorus (P) enrichment gradient in Water Conservation Area 2A (WCA-2A) [10].

Gene context of Typhaceae

• This long-term study (2.25 years) investigated the porewater As, Fe, and Zn concentrations of waterlogged Pb-Zn tailings from two Irish mines, Silvermines and Tara mines, with addition of Typha latifolia, fertilizer, or both treatments combined [11].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Typhaceae

• A fresh polar lipid extract from Typha pollen had very similar fatty acid composition to the soybean asolecithin, but was more resistant to peroxidation as shown by less aldehyde production and increased retention of unsaturated fatty acids after treatment [12].
