TL;DR: In this paper, carbon-14-labeled glyphosate was foliarly applied to ligustrum (Ligustrum japonicum Thunb.) and blue pacific juniper (Juniperus conferta Parl. ‘Blue Pacific’) at the following growth stages: cold acclimation, winter dormancy, budbreak, shoot elongation, and termination of the first flush of growth.
Abstract: Carbon-14-labeled glyphosate [N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine] was foliarly applied to ligustrum (Ligustrum japonicum Thunb.) and blue pacific juniper (Juniperus conferta Parl. ‘Blue Pacific’) at the following growth stages: cold acclimation, winter dormancy, budbreak, shoot elongation, and termination of the first flush of growth (shoot termination). At shoot elongation juniper plants absorbed 2% of applied 14C by 14 days after treatment (DAT). Applications at other growth stages resulted in no significant absorption of 14C by junipers. Within 7 DAT the amounts of radioactivity absorbed by ligustrum were significant and depended upon growth stage in the following order: budbreak < shoot termination < shoot elongation. Absorption by overwintered leaves occurred at budbreak but not at elongation or termination. Transport of absorbed 14C in ligustrum was primarily acropetal and occurred only in budbreak and flowering treatments. Differences in tolerance to glyphosate between juniper and ligustrum appear to be related to differential absorption. Seasonal differences in ligustrum tolerance also appear to be associated with differences in absorption. Although growth stage affected transport in ligustrum, differential transport does not appear to play a major role in seasonal influences on long-term glyphosate phytotoxicity.

TL;DR: It is suggested that use of certain juniper cultivars may be useful in managing this perennial insect pest in urban landscapes.
Abstract: Relative suitability of 23 cultivars of juniper (Juniperus spp.) for growth and survival of the bagworm, Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis (Haworth) was evaluated in laboratory and field experiments. Weight gain, developmental rate, and survival of bagworms differed significantly among groups of larvae fed foliage from different cultivars. By these criteria, cultivars ‘Expansa’ and ‘Hibemica’ were most unsuitable for survival and development of bagworms, whereas ‘Broadmoor’ and ‘Emerald Isle’ were consistently among the most suitable cultivars. This study suggests that use of certain juniper cultivars may be useful in managing this perennial insect pest in urban landscapes.

TL;DR: In this article, an external drug for skin effective in suppressing acne, dandruff, itchiness, etc, by using an extract of a plant belonging to Thujopsis genus, Thuja genus or Juniperus genus of Cupressaceae family, as an active component is presented.
Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain an external drug for skin effective in suppressing acne, dandruff, itchiness, etc, by using an extract of a plant belonging to Thujopsis genus, Thuja genus or Juniperus genus of Cupressaceae family, as an active component CONSTITUTION:A plant belonging to Thujopsis genus (eg Thujopsis dolabrata, etc), Thuja genus (eg Thuja standishii) or Juniperus genus (eg Juniperus rigida, Juniperus conferta, Juniperus chinensis, Juniperus chinensis var procumbens, etc) of Cupressaceae family is extracted with a solvent such as ethanol, propylene glycol, water, hexane, etc, and the extract (solution as extracted or concentrated extract produced by distilling out the solvent) is used as a component of the objective external agent for skin, eg drug, quasi- drug, cosmetic, etc It is preferable to use the extract in an amount of 01-3wt% in terms of dried residue in the whole external agent, because the agent obtained thereby exhibits fungicidal activity against fungi causing acne, dandruff or itchiness
