Hypromellose , short for hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), is a semisynthetic, inert, viscoelastic polymer used in eye drops, as well as an excipient and controlled-delivery component in oral medicaments, found in a variety of commercial products.
Gelatin capsules, informally called gel caps or gelcaps, are composed of gelatin manufactured from the collagen of animal skin or bone. [4] Vegetable capsules, introduced in 1989, [5] are made from cellulose, a structural component in plants. The main ingredient of vegetarian capsules is hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose. In the 21st century ...
A variant is the Septifragal capsule (valvular capsule) in which the outer walls break away from the septa and (usually axile) placentae as valves. Poricidal capsules dehisce through pores (openings) in the capsule, as in Papaver, the seeds escaping through these pores. Flowers and developing fruit capsules of the ground orchid Spathoglottis ...
Drosophila (/ d r ə ˈ s ɒ f ɪ l ə, d r ɒ-, d r oʊ-/ [1] [2]) is a genus of fly, belonging to the family Drosophilidae, whose members are often called "small fruit flies" or pomace flies, vinegar flies, or wine flies, a reference to the characteristic of many species to linger around overripe or rotting fruit.
The Drosophilidae are a diverse, cosmopolitan family of flies, which includes species called fruit flies, although they are more accurately referred to as vinegar or pomace flies. [1] Another distantly related family of flies, Tephritidae , are true fruit flies because they are frugivorous, and include apple maggot flies and many pests.
Datura innoxia is quite similar to D. metel, to the point of being confused with it in early scientific literature. D. metel is a closely related plant, believed until recently to be of Old World provenance (though now thought to have been brought to Asia from the Antilles no earlier than the sixteenth century) and misconstrued as being referred to in the works of Avicenna in eleventh century ...
Wrapping fruit in newspaper, brown paper bag, or a sleeve, is one of the most effective control methods. [5] Wrapping provides a physical barrier to the skin of the fruit, inhibiting the deposition of eggs. This method becomes even more effective when the fruit is wrapped before ripening, as most B. carambolae attack following ripening. [5] [8]
The plant's flowers are yellow and grow up to an inch in diameter, with five petals attached at the base. Flowers grow on stalks and can either be found in clusters or individually where the stalk meets the leaf stem. [4] Pod-like capsules produced by the plant consist of 12-15 wood segments that form cup-like rings.
