Evaluation of the Chemical Composition of Sonchus eruca and Sonchus asper
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sonchus eruca and Sonchus asper were analyzed for their chemical evaluation, vitamins and bioactive secondary metabolite. The results revealed the presence of bioactive constituents comprising alkaloids (1.24 to 1.34 mg/100 g), saponins (1.46 to 1.72 mg/100 g), flavonoids (1.61 to 1.34mg/100 g), phenols (1.32 to1.44 mg/100g), saponins (0.12 to 0.41mg/100 g) and tannins (0.02 to 0.61 mg/100g). The medicinal plants contained ascorbic acid (33.21 to 20.12 mg/100 g), riboflavin (0.24 to 0.72 mg/100 g), thiamine (0.31 to 0.15 mg/100g), and niacin (0.03 to 0.05 mg/100 g).

A new species of eriophyoid mite from Australia is described and illustrated. Aceria thalgi sp. n. causes severe curling and rolling of leaves of common introduced sowthistle, Sonchus oleraceus L. It also affects introduced Sonchus asper (L.) Hill and native Sonchus hydrophilus Boulos. The native species may be the original host for this mite. Aceria thalgi sp. n. is shown to be a separate spec...

ABSTRACT Overwintering of tobacco thrips, Frankliniella fusca, was investigated on common winter annual host plants infected with Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV). Populations of tobacco thrips produced on TSWV-infected plants did not differ from those produced on healthy plants, whereas populations varied greatly among host plant species. The mean per plant populations of F. fusca averaged 401...
