Croton (plant) Croton is an extensive flowering plant genus in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae. The plants of this genus were described and introduced to Europeans by Georg Eberhard Rumphius. The common names for this genus are rushfoil and croton, but the latter also refers to "Codiaeum variegatum". The generic name comes from the Greek κρότος ("krótos "), which means "tick" and refers to the shape of the seeds of certain species.

Peranema Peranema is a genus of free-living flagellate excavates, with more than 20 accepted species, varying in size between 8 and 200 micrometers. They are found in freshwater lakes, ponds and ditches, and are often abundant at the bottom of stagnant pools rich in decaying organic material. Although they belong to the class Euglenoidea, and are morphologically similar to the green "Euglena", "Peranema" have no chloroplasts, and cannot feed by autotrophy. Instead, they capture live prey, such as yeast, bacteria and other flagellates, consuming them with the help of a rigid feeding apparatus called a "rod-organ." Unlike the green Euglenids, they lack both an eyespot (stigma), and the paraflagellar body (photoreceptor) that is normally coupled with that organelle. However, while "Peranema" lack a localized photoreceptor, they do possess the light-sensitive protein rhodopsin, and respond to changes in light with a characteristic "curling behaviour."

CNMa CNMamide (CNMa) is a cyclic neuropeptide identified by computational analysis of Drosophila melanogaster protein sequences and named after its C-terminal ending motif. A gene encoding CNMa was found in most arthropods and comparison among the precursor sequences of several representative species revealed high conservation, particularly in the region of the predicted mature peptide. Two conserved cysteine residues enveloping four amino acids form a disulfide bond and were shown to be important for binding of the peptide to its receptor. Expression of CNMa was confirmed in the larval and adult brain of D. melanogaster but the function of the peptide has not been elucidated yet.

Pirandamine Pirandamine (AY-23,713) is a tricyclic derivative which acts as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). It was investigated in the 1970s as a potential antidepressant but clinical development was not commenced and it was never marketed. Pirandamine is structurally related to tandamine, which, in contrast, is a selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor.

Croton Dam (Michigan) Croton Dam (or Croton Hydroelectric Plant) is an earth-filled embankment dam and powerplant complex on the Muskegon River in Croton Township, Newaygo County, Michigan. It was built in 1907 under the direction of William D. Fargo by the Grand Rapids - Muskegon Power Company, a predecessor of Consumers Energy. The 40 ft dam impounds 7.2 billion U.S. gallons (6 billion imp. gal/27 billion L) of water in its 1209 acre reservoir and is capable of producing 8,850 kilowatts at peak outflow. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

Crangon allmani Crangon allmani, also spelled "Crangon allmanni", is a species of shrimp in the genus "Crangon". It is at home in the northeast Atlantic Ocean. Its specific name, "allmani", honours the Irish natural historian George J. Allman. According to J. A. Allen, the spelling "allmanni" is a writing error and the correct spelling is "allmani".

Robert Crannell Minor Robert Crannell Minor (1839-1904), American artist, was born in New York City on 30 April 1839. His father, Israel Minor, was a merchant who made a large fortune in the pharmaceutical business. As a young man, Robert Minor worked as a bookkeeper in New York City but decided to study art in his early thirties. After studying in New York with painter Alfred Cornelius Howland, Minor went abroad in 1871 to continue his artistic education. He visited various galleries in England before traveling to Barbizon, France, where he studied under Diaz. He later studied in Antwerp under Joseph Van Luppen and Hippolyte Boulenger. In 1874, he was vice president of the Société artistique et littéraire of Antwerp.

Isorhamnetin Isorhamnetin is an O-methylated flavon-ol from the class of flavonoids. A common food source of this 3'-methoxylated derivative of quercetin and its glucoside conjugates are pungent yellow or red onions, in which it is a minor pigment, quercetin-3,4'-diglucoside and quercetin-4'-glucoside and the aglucon quercetin being the major pigments. An other source is the spice, herbal medicinal and psychedelic Mexican terragon "(Tagetes lucida)", which is described as accumulating isorhamnetin and its 7-O-glucoside derivate.

Croton oil Croton oil ("Crotonis oleum") is an oil prepared from the seeds of "Croton tiglium", a tree belonging to the order Euphorbiales and family Euphorbiaceae, and native or cultivated in India and the Malay Archipelago. Small doses taken internally cause diarrhea. Externally, the oil can cause irritation and swelling. Croton oil is used in some chemical peels, due to its caustic exfoliating effects it has on the skin. Used in conjunction with phenol solutions, it results in an intense reaction which leads to initial skin sloughing. Since croton oil is very irritating and painful, it is used in laboratory animals to study how pain works, pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory drugs, and immunology.

Cyanotrama Cyanotrama is a fungal genus in the Hymenochaetales order. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Cyanotrama rimosa, widely distributed in western North America. It has also been collected in single occasions in Ethiopia and Iran. The fungus causes a white rot in conifers, especially junipers. "C. rimosa" was originally named "Poria rimos" in 1920 by William Alphonso Murrill, and later known as "Diplomitoporus rimosus". Molecular work revealed that the species was aligned not with the polyporoid fungi as previously assumed, but rather with the hymenochaetoid fungi, and "Cyanotrama" was created to contain it. The genus name refers to the strong cyanophilic reaction (stainable with blue dyes) of the skeletal hyphae, particularly noticeable in the trama.

Apomorphine Apomorphine (brand names Apokyn, Ixense, Spontane, Uprima) is a type of aporphine having activity as a non-selective dopamine agonist which activates both D-like and, to an order of magnitude lesser extent, D-like receptors. It also acts as an antagonist of 5-HT and α-adrenergic receptors with high affinity. The compound is historically a morphine decomposition product by boiling with concentrated acid, hence the -"morphine" suffix. Apomorphine does not actually contain morphine or its skeleton, nor does it bind to opioid receptors. The "apo"- prefix relates to it being a morphine derivative ("[comes] from morphine").
