Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens L’Hér.) is an important commercial horticultural plant extensively used in outdoor landscaping. Seed emergence has always remained a problem geranium due to its hard seed nature. Hence germination and other emergence-related attributes need be adequately tested. The purpose of this study was evaluate the seedling growth geraniums under different types containers...

ABSTRACT A series of laboratory tests were conducted to investigate potential effects of fungus gnat (Bradysia impatiens) feeding damage on susceptibility of geranium seedlings (Pelargonium x hortorum) to infection by the root rot pathogen Pythium aphanidermatum. Effects were compared with those from similar tests in which the seedlings were mechanically wounded by severing the root tip with a ...

Overall phylogenetic relationships within the genus Pelargonium (Geraniaceae) were inferred based on DNA sequences from mitochondrial(mt)-encoded nad1 b/c exons and from chloroplast(cp)-encoded trnL (UAA) 5' exon-trnF (GAA) exon regions using two species of Geranium and Sarcocaulon vanderetiae as outgroups. The group II intron between nad1 exons b and c was found to be absent from the Pelargoni...

This study aimed to reveal the interactions of aphids with their primary hosts (pome and stone fruit trees) secondary (herbaceous plants) in around orchards Çanakkale Province northwestern Turkey between April-September from 2020 2021. Thirty-eight aphid species belonging 18 genera two subfamilies, Aphidinae Calaphidinae, Aphididae order Hemiptera were identified on 53 host plants. Also, 92 aph...

A simple and sensitive HPLC method has been developed in combination with fingerprint analysis and simultaneous determination of five markers, namely gallic acid, corilagin, methyl brevifolincarboxylate, ellagic acid and rutin for evaluation and quality control of Geranium carolinianum L. water extract. Extraction methods were optimized by comparing the hydrolysis efficiency of geraniin, a majo...
