... Tamarind, Tamarindus indica L., is a multipurpose tropical fruit tree used primarily for its fruits, which are eaten fresh or processed, used as a seasoning or spice, or are processed (along with the seeds) for non-food uses. The species has a wide geographical distribution in the subtropics and semiarid tropics and is cultivated in numerous regions. In this paper, we announce the release of a sup ...

Abstract:
... 'Som Kandarn', the local name of a cultivar of Garcinia atroviridis Griff., was found many years ago in Kiriwong village, Nakhon Si Thammarat province, southern Thailand. Growers have planted a few 'Som Kandarn' seedlings in mixed-fruit-cropping orchards in the mountains, especially in low-fertility areas. 'Som Kandarn' has been known in the village as an easy-to-grow fruit tree. Mainly the fruit ...

Abstract:
... PURPOSE: Due to various environmental pressures such as climate change and scarcity of natural resources, as well as nontariff barriers from trade partners, Thailand has established the Thai national life cycle inventory (LCI) database in 2006. In the 1st phase (2006–2007), three working groups were developed for natural gas, refinery, and petrochemical products. Another seven working groups were ...
... A bacterial consortium, named SWO, was enriched from crude oil-contaminated seawater from Phrao Bay in Rayong Province, Thailand, after a large oil spill in 2013. The bacterial consortium degraded a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) mixture consisting of phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, and pyrene (50 mg L−1 each) by approximately 73%, 69%, 52%, and 48%, respectively, within 21 days. Th ...
... Fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) and clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) are wild felids, currently in vulnerable status according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature red list (2017). Several measures in assisted reproductive technology (e.g. AI, embryo transfer) have been used by the Zoological Park Organization of Thailand (ZPO) to increase their offspring in captivity. Re ...

Abstract:
... In this letter, we present the methodology and accuracy assessment results of a new 250 m spatial resolution land cover map of Southeast Asia (covering Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Vietnam). The map is based on semi-automated classification of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer data (acquired January to November ...
... The seasonally varying moisture balance in a montane forest of Southeast Asia is reconstructed for the 20th century from the oxygen isotopic composition (δ¹⁸O) of subannual tree cellulose samples of Pinus kesiya growing at 1,500 m elevation on Doi Chiang Dao in northern Thailand. The cellulose δ¹⁸O values exhibit a distinctive annual cycle with amplitude of up to 12 ‰, which we interpret to repres ...
... Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection, remains a global health problem with increased concerns due to drug-resistant tuberculosis. However, molecular genotyping profiles may give insight of the transmission of TB in a particular region. The present study aimed to characterize the genetic diversity of drug-resistant MTB and evaluate primer sets applied for the epidemiol ...

Abstract:
... The inhibitory effects of 17 samples prepared from Thailand plants on 5α-reductase activity were examined. The acetone extract of leaves ofArtocarpus altilis showed potent 5α-reductase inhibitory activity. Fractionation guided by 5α-reductase inhibition led to the isolation of 2-geranyl-2′,3,4,4′-tetrahydroxydihydrochalcone from the acetone extract of leaves ofA. altilis. This compound showed more ...

Abstract:
... ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Many Thai traditional herbs have been used for hundreds of years for hair treatment and nourishment, including hair loss. However, scientific evidence about their mechanisms of action has not yet been elucidated. AIMS OF THE STUDY: The purpose of this research is to define the possible mechanisms involved in hair loss treatment of the selected plants by determining ...
... A novel seco-stemocurtisine-type alkaloid, 6-hydroxy-5,6-seco-stemocurtisine was isolated from the aerial parts of Stemona curtisii (Stemonaceae) collected from Trang Province in Thailand. The unprecedented 5,6-seco-pyrido[1,2-a]azepine structure was elucidated by 2D NMR analysis and a single crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis. ...
... Dactylicapnos scandens (D. Don) Hutch., a tuberous rooted perennial, widespread from NW India through to Thailand and China, is described and illustrated. The confusing history and synonymy of this species is discussed, together with the rather different fruit colour and dimorphic leaf shape of the stock used in providing the description. The problems in providing adequate herbarium specimens are ...
... The occurrence of more than a single species of Lardizabalaceae in Thailand is confirmed and the second species, the Vietnamese‐Chinese Stauntonia chapaensis (Gagnep.) Christenh., is described and illustrated here based on the Thai specimens at Crûg Farm Plants. ...

Abstract:
... Assisted reproductive technologies including superovulation, laparoscopic AI (LAI), and embryo transfer (ET) are important tools for genetic improvement in the sheep industry. The present study aimed to determine the effects of embryo stage and cryopreservation method on field trial outcomes of embryo transfer on small-scale farms in Thailand. Black Dorper ewes (n=16) were used as donors and mixed ...
