African mistletoes (Loranthaceae); ethnopharmacology, chemistry and medicinal values: an update.
Mistletoes of the Loranthaceae and Viscaceae are hemiparasitic plants and their preparations in the form of injectable extracts, infusions, tinctures, fluid extracts or tea bags are widely used in various cultures in almost every continent to treat or manage various health problems including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, inflammatory conditions, irregular menstruations, menopause, epilepsy, ...
متن کاملTwo new pathogenic ascomycetes in Guignardia and Rosenscheldiella on New Zealand's pygmy mistletoes (Korthalsella: Viscaceae)
Two new pathogens, Guignardia korthalsellae and Rosenscheldiella korthalsellae, are described from New Zealand's pygmy mistletoes (Korthalsella, Viscaceae). Both form ascomata on living phylloclades with minimal disruption of the tissue. Fungal hyphae within the phylloclade are primarily intercellular. Guignardia korthalsellae disrupts a limited number of epidermal cells immediately around the ...
متن کاملReproductive ecology and isolation of Psittacanthus calyculatus and P. auriculatus mistletoes (Loranthaceae)
BACKGROUND Relationships between floral biology and pollinator behavior are important to understanding species diversity of hemiparasitic Psittacanthus mistletoes (c. 120 species). We aimed to investigate trait divergence linked to pollinator attraction and reproductive isolation (RI) in two hummingbird-pollinated and bird-dispersed Psittacanthus species with range overlap. METHODS We investi...
متن کاملDispersal, Germination and Survival of New Zealand Mistletoes (loranthaceae): Dependence on Birds
Mistletoes are stem hemiparasites, which grow on the branches of a host tree or shrub and take water, water-conducted nutrients and organic solutes from the host’s xylem. There are two major mistletoe families, Loranthaceae and Viscaceae. The Loranthaceae are principally Southern Hemisphere in distribution, with between 50 and 80 genera (Barlow, 1983). New Zealand has six native species in the ...
متن کامل7 Mistletoes as Parasites and Seed - dispersing Birds as Disease Vectors : Current Understanding , Challenges and Opportunities
Most mistletoes are vector-borne parasites whose vectors are their avian seed-dispersers (Martínez del Rio et al., 1996). In most vector-borne parasites and diseases, the vector maintains a parasitic or, at best, a commensal relationship with the parasite (Price, 1980). Mistletoes are unique among vector-borne parasites because they maintain a mutualistic interaction with their vectors (Martíne...
