Hydro-distilled volatile oil from the aerial parts of Chenopodium ambrosioides L. (Chenopodiaceae) was obtained and the oil was analyzed by a combination of GC and GC/MS. Air-dried aerial parts of Chenopodium ambrosioides (100 g) which were collected from Anzaly in Mazandaran province at full flowering stage on June 2003, were subjected to hydro-distillation for 3.5 h using a Clevenger-type app...

A Crotalária juncea é uma leguminosa originária da Índia e Ásia tropical, de clima tropical subtropical, sendo bastante empregada como adubo verde por fornecer ao solo ótima quantidade matéria orgânica além ser importante para a fixação nitrogênio. Uma utilidade ainda pouco conhecida espécie, principalmente agricultores, tem relação com seus efeitos alelopáticos. Desta forma, o objetivo deste t...

Carnation vein mottle virus (CarVMV) was isolated from glasshouse-grown Dianthus caryophyllus L. originating from Split. The same virus was obtained also from D. caryophyl­ lus, D. carthusianorum L. and D. barbatus L. which were grown in the open in Zagreb and the surroundings. The virus was identified on the basis of host plants, non-persi­ stent mode of transmission by M yzus persicae Sulz. a...

Chloroplasts were isolated from triazine-sensitive and triazine-resistant biotypes of common groundsel (Senecio vulgaris L.), common lambsquarter (Chenopodium album L.), and redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.). Chloroplast lipids were extracted and analyzed for differences among sensitive and resistant biotypes. The distribution of lipid between major lipid classes differed in chloropla...

The larval instars of Pnigalio gyamiensis Myartseva and Kurashev are described in detail for the first time. This species is a larval-pupal ectoparasitoid of Chrysoesthia sexguttella (Thunberg) (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae), which forms leaf mines in the plant Chenopodium album L. (Caryophyllales: Amaranthaceae). The female of Pnigalio gyamiensis lays a single egg on the skin of the host larva or ...

This paper records the plants used in the treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis due to Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis (L(V)b) among the rural population of a cocoa-producing coastal area of Bahia state, Brazil. An enquiry conducted among a hundred patients identified 49 plants species used to treat skin ulceration caused by this Leishmania species. The principal plants used are caju-branco (A...

Antifungal potential of aqueous extracts of forty plants of different families were tested against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceri causal agent of wilting of chick pea. Among forty plant species tested aqueous extract of Chenopodium ambrosioides has recorded significant antifungal activity against the test fungi. Solvent extracts viz. petroleum ether, benzene, chloroform, and methanol and ethan...
