A new species, Dictyna palmgrenisp. n., is described from Finland and Russia on the basis of both sexes. Most of the earlier records of Dictyna schmidti Kulczyński, 1926 from the northern Palaearctic refer to this new species. Dictyna shilenkovi Danilov, 2000, syn. n. from Cisbaikalia is synonymised with Dictyna schmidti. The general appearances and copulatory organs of Dictyna palmgrenisp. n.,...

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is used to analyze gene function in dicotyledonous plants but less so in monocotyledonous plants (particularly rice and corn), partially due to the limited number of virus expression vectors available. Here, we report the cloning and modification for VIGS of a virus from Festuca arundinacea Schreb. (tall fescue) that caused systemic mosaic symptoms on barley,...

Arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea) and Chitosan are two well-known materials used in medical and scientific applications. Both materials possess medicinal properties and have the ability to form thick gels. Chitosan-reinforced Arrowroot film was developed and its dielectric characterization was performed at microwave frequencies. Cavity perturbation method was used for the measurement. The study p...

Many major medications used today are derived from medicinal plants. Humans have traditionally employed bamboo in a variety of ecological and medical applications. Bamboo is one the precious plant resources earth. A tall, thorny tree Bambusa arundinacea, highly reputed commonly referred to as bamboo, member Graminae family found throughout India, moist parts India. Various such leaves, root, sh...

Abstract Aims Root tensile tests are often rejected if failure location is outside the middle section of samples. This study aims to identify where and why occurs along a root axis, hence revisit current approaches test-validity. Methods Roots from Festuca arundinacea; Lolium multiflorum; perenne were sampled field-grown plants. tested using universal testing machine. samples randomly allocated...

Residual effeet of a eoneentrated and depotassitied beet vinasse on growth and mineral eomposition of taH feseue (Festuca arundinacea) was studied. Results were compared with those obtained for a mineral fertilizer treatment and a control. Vinasse and inorganie fertilizer had been previously applied to two different soils at two rates for tive years. High doses of vinasse produeed the highest y...

season they begin to come out from the roots of mature bamboos and then become available in the vegetable stalls in the bazar. They are taken by all classes of people and have lately become popular even among the European residents in Calcutta. Cattle are also fond of these shoots and the owners of bamboo clumps always try to protect the young shoots by fencing off the clumps during the rains w...
