“…The resin of pinus contorta was exploited for its medicinal uses by the natives of North America: as an ointment for relieving the rheumatic pains or other sores, or as a chewing gum to treat sore throats. [98] In this resin, as demonstrated by our GC analysis, lignans formed the dominating compound group (8.5%), followed by diterpenoids (8.0%). The dominating compound was pinoresinol (3.9%), followed by dehydroabietic acid (2.6%) and lariciresinol (1.6%).…”

Four pinaceae pine resins analyzed in this study: black pine, shore pine, Baltic amber, and rosin demonstrate excellent dielectric properties, outstanding film forming, and ease of processability from ethyl alcohol solutions. Their trap‐free nature allows fabrication of virtually hysteresis‐free organic field effect transistors operating in a low voltage window with excellent stability under bias stress. Such green constituents represent an excellent choice of materials for applications targeting biocompatibility and biodegradability of electronics and sensors, within the overall effort of sustainable electronics development and environmental friendliness.

“…Information about animal food preferences may also be used to differentiate plants that are useful for humans from similar looking but non-useful varieties. For example, the Gitksan names for wild sarsaparilla ( Aralia nudicaulis ) and baneberry ( Actaea rubra ) mean “berry of black bear” and both “are considered to be food only for bears” (Compton et al 1997:163). Dietary information may also help address problems caused by food competition between humans and other animals.…”

Ethnobotanical Knowledge Encoded in Weenhayek Oral Tradition

Stories that reference plants occur throughout Indigenous oral traditions. It is widely recognized among local and academic knowledge holders that such stories store and transmit valuable ethnobotanical knowledge. However, there has been little detailed investigation of the quantity and kinds of information conveyed or the ways in which this information is encoded in oral texts. In this paper, we explore in detail the nature of this transmitted ethnobotanical knowledge, investigating the extent to which stories encode and convey information useful for identifying, locating, harvesting, processing, and predicting availability of important plant resources. Using an existing collection of traditional narratives from the Weenhayek of the Bolivian Gran Chaco, we searched for stories about wild plants and plant products. This search yielded a sample of 40 narratives, which were analyzed for the presence of information about plant characteristics, associated ecological cues, habitat and distribution, management, extraction and processing, availability, uses, and worldview (i.e., prescriptions and proscriptions related to plant management, extraction, processing, or use). Results are discussed in light of the constraints imposed by human attentional and memory systems, and their implications for knowledge storage and transmission.
