in order to assess the adaptation of elaeagnus angustifolia l. and fraxinus rotundifolia mill afforestation around tabriz international airport, the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of trees were measured in 96 experimental circular plots with a size of 300 m2. to study the edaphic effects of these species, nine samples were randomly collected from 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm depth of soil...

Dissotis rotundifolia?is a broad spectrum medicinal plant that has received worldwide recognition. This study was designed to investigate the effect of aqueous leaf extract rotundifolia on plasma glucose and creatinine level in normal albino rats. A total 6 wistar rats each weighing 150g were assembled randomly divided into 2 groups (control tests) consisting 3 each. The control group pelleted ...

Over the past 15 years, the grape breeding program at the University of California, Davis, has been evaluating Vitis rupestris x Muscadinia rotundifolia selections for resistance to the dagger nematode, Xiphinema index, and to Pierce’s disease (PD). Selections from these crosses exhibit very strong resistance to X. index and PD. In addition to breeding efforts, populations from these crosses ha...

Cissus rotundifolia (Forsk.) Vahl, a native to Africa and the Arabian Peninsula is recorded for the first time from the Peninsular India. A detailed description with illustration and relevant notes are provided for easy identification.

Ten new labdane-type diterpenes were isolated from the fruit of Vitex rotundifolia L. (Verbenaceae), along with a known diterpene, vitexilactone. Their chemical structures were determined on the bases of spectroscopic data.

Although plastid genomes of flowering plants are typically highly conserved regarding their size, gene content and order, there are some exceptions. Ericaceae, a large and diverse family of flowering plants, warrants special attention within the context of plastid genome evolution because it includes both non-photosynthetic and photosynthetic species with rearranged plastomes and putative losse...

We used herbarium specimens of Silene virginica, S. caroliniana, S. rotundifolia, and S. latifolia to survey the incidence of anther-smut disease (caused by Microbotryum violaceum sensu lato) in the eastern USA. We found no evidence of a collector bias against diseased specimens. Diseased specimens were frequently found in collections of S. virginica and S. caroliniana, but not in those of S. r...

Mature stomata of four mangrove taxa of different families reveal three distinct types of stomatal complex on abaxial surfaces, such as diacytic (in Acanthus ilicifolius), anomocytic (in Aegialitis rotundifolia and Xylocarpus granatum), and paracytic (in Ceriops decandra). In transverse section, there is a beak-like cuticular outgrowth overarching the stomatal pore either at the outer side or a...
