Porson, a New [7,0]-Metacyclophane from Myrica gale L.

Early Nodule Development in Myrica gale

N, P and K Fertilizers Alter Plant Growth, Essential Oil Yield and Gender of Sweet Gale (Myrica gale L)

To investigate whether the fertilizers N, P or K individually affect plant growth, oil content and the gender of sweet gale, two trials, pot and field trials, were carried out at Orkney College UHI in Scotland. A pot trial was established with eight soils which were collected from different sweet gale trial sites in the north of Scotland. Although neither shoot yield nor oil concentration in sh...

An allelochemical from Myrica gale with strong phytotoxic activity against highly invasive Fallopia x bohemica taxa.

We report the identification of the allelochemical 3-(1-oxo-3-phenylpropyl)-1,1,5-trimethylcyclo-hexane-2,4,6-trione, known as myrigalone A, from the fruits and leaves of Myrica gale. The structure of the compound was confirmed by high-resolution techniques (UV, MS and NMR analysis). The compound is phytotoxic towards classical plant species used for allelochemical assays and also against Fallo...

Primary productivity and nitrogen, carbon, and biomass distribution in a dense Myrica gale stand

SCHWINTZER, C. R. 1983. Primary productivity and nitrogen, carbon, and biomass distribution in a dense My)-ica gale stand. Can. J. Bot. 61: 2943-2948. Aboveground vascular vegetation was harvested in twenty 0.25-m' plots at the end of the growing season in a weakly minerotrophic, central Massachusetts peatland. The materials were separated by species and component and the Myrica gale fractions ...

Consequences of Sporangial Development for Nodule Function in Root Nodules of Comptonia peregrina and Myrica gale.

Frankia sp., the actinomycetous endophyte in nitrogen-fixing actinorhizal nodules, may differentiate two forms from its hyphae: vesicles and sporangia. In root nodules of Comptonia peregrina (L.) Coult. and Myrica gale L., sporangia may be either absent or present. Nitrogenase activity and symbiotic efficiency were contrasted in spore(+) and spore(-) nodules of these two host genera. Seedlings ...
