Cycas micronesica (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

Cycas micronesica is a species of cycad found on the island of Yap in Micronesia, the Marianas islands of Guam and Rota, and The Republic of Palau. It is commonly known as federico nut or fadang in Chamorro. The species, previously lumped with Cycas rumphii and Cycas circinalis, was described in 1994 by Ken Hill. Paleoecological studies have determined that C. micronesica has been present on the island of Guam for about 9,000 years. It is linked with Lytico-Bodig disease, a condition similar to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), due to the neurotoxin BMAA found in its seeds, which were a traditional food source on Guam until the 1960s. The neurotoxin is present due to its symbiosis with cyanobacteria.

(en) Cycas micronesica est une espèce de plantes arborescentes appartenant au genre Cycas (famille des Cycadaceae), trouvé en Micronésie dans le groupe des Îles Mariannes et dans l'est des îles Caroline. Son feuillage évoque celui d'un palmier (mais il n'y a pas de parenté avec les palmiers ; ce n'est ni un palmier, ni une fougère arborescente, ni tout à fait un arbre). Cette espèce d'abord confondue avec Cycas rumphii ou Cycas circinalis n'a été décrite qu'en 1994 par le botaniste Ken Hill. Cycas micronesica s'est fait connaitre des scientifiques du monde entier par son association avec une maladie rare, le « syndrome de Guam », une maladie neurodégénérative atypique (dite Lytico-Bodig disease par les anglophones), causée par l'ingestion d'une neurotoxine produite par cet arbre (dont les graines et les fruits étaient consommés par des animaux traditionnellement chassés et consommés par la population locale de Guam jusque dans les années 1960). Elle est aujourd’hui pratiquement disparue. (fr) Cycas micronesica , 1994 è una pianta appartenente alla famiglia delle Cycadaceae, endemica della Micronesia.
