Digitalis lanata non-ionic substances in the leaves. The drought induced diminishing of photosynthesis is reversible after a few hours following watering of the plants. Drought stress also reduces the quantum yield of photosystem 2. More than 70 bitter glycosides with cardiac activity, with five different aglyconees digitoxigenin, gitoxigenin, digoxigenin, diginatigenin and gitaloxigenin in the leaves act as a protection against herbivores. Yield and concentration of these cardiac glycosides are enhanced by greenhouse cultivation through enhanced temperature and enhanced carbon dioxide concentration. "Digitalis lanata" contains a powerful cardiac glycoside that may be used by patients with heart conditions. Digoxin (digitalin) is a drug
Tyseley Energy from Waste Plant Tyseley Energy from Waste Plant Tyseley Energy Recovery Facility is a waste incineration plant in Birmingham, UK. It is run by Veolia. It was built in 1996 by Veolia to a design by Faulks Perry Culley & Rech. The plant has become a notable building in Birmingham with a lighting scheme that illuminates the plant during the hours of darkness. It was built to comply with the European emissions standards that came into force in 1996. Veolia benefits from Levy Exemption Certificates for the element of energy which is produced from renewable sources. This provides income to the City Council.
