Plants of Viola cornuta displaying typical virus symptoms were observed during spring 2003 in a plant nursery in Córdoba, central Argentina. Electron microscopic examinations of symptomatic leaf samples revealed the presence of isometric virus-like particles about 30 nm in diameter. Subsequent serological analysis allowed the identification of the pathogen as a subgroup I strain of Cucumber mos...

Aims: To evaluate the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity of methanolic root extract of onosma hispidum (Ratanjot) by in-vitro methods. Methods: DPPH free radical and ABTS radical scavenging activity estimation with total phenolic and flavonoid content methods were used to evaluate antioxidant activity while egg albumin denaturation method and HRBC membrane stabilization methods were use...

Tras la identificación de numerosas plantas recolectadas en una expedición a Marruecos durante 1989, nuestro objetivo fue averiguar si alguna implicaba ampliación o confirmación área para algunos los sectores considerados Checklist of Vascular Plants N Morocco. Con resultados obtenidos se amplía información corológica tres taxones angiospermas, recolectados Targuist (v.g. Sedum andegavense), Ts...

The natural floral color change in Viola cornuta cv. Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (YTT) provides an opportunity to examine the expression of genes along the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway in response to known environmental triggers during ontogeny. We have cloned and sequenced gene fragments from three anthocyanin biosynthetic genes, chalcone synthase (CHS), dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR)...

Meloidogyne incognita and M. arenaria reproduction and host plant tolerance were assessed in field and greenhouse experiments on seven holly cultivars including Ilex glabra 'Shamrock', I. vomitoria 'Schelling's Dwarf', I. cornuta 'Carissa', red holly hybrid (Ilex Little Red), and I. crenata 'Compacta', 'Green Luster', and 'Helleri' as well as Japanese boxwood (Buxus microphylla) and two lantana...

The genus Onosma is a homogeneous taxon with high morphological variation and due to the similarities among taxa, there are many problems in their identification. Hence, systematically taxonomically, it considered difficult genus. In present study, we included large number of species throughout distribution range. Using nuclear (ITS) two plastids (rpl32-trnL(UAG) trnH-psbA) markers, analyzed ev...
