Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven), Simaroubaceae, is an early successional tree, native to China and North Vietnam, which has become invasive in Europe and on all other continents except Antarctica. It is most abundant in urban habitats and along transportation corridors, but can also invade natural habitats. This paper reviews the literature on the morphology, distribution, ecology, habitat...

Citrus bacterial spot (CBS), caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. citrumelo, produces unsightly blemishes on leaves and stems of nursery plants that may affect their mar ket value. In simulated nurseries, Swingle citrumelo and 'Ruby red' grapefruit infected with X. c. citrumelo were treated with combinations of defoliation and sprays of copper ammonium complex (CAC) to control CBS. Also, Swingl...

Homer S. Swingle was a pioneer in pond management and professor of fisheries at Auburn University. Results from his scientific research on the principles of fish interactions in lakes and ponds, and methods to improve fish production are used worldwide, and he is credited with improving lives of countless people by increasing the amount of food available to those in developing countries and pro...

The present investigation of the chemical constituents of the stem barks of Ailanthus altissima has resulted in the isolation of six canthinone-type alkaloids, including a new compound, (R)-5-(1-hydroxyethyl)-canthine-6-one (1), and five known compounds (2-6). Moreover, four phenyl propanoids (7-10), two lignans (11 and 12), two triterpenoids (13 and 14) and a fatty acid (15) having previously ...

Abstract Variety improvement program of citrus in Indonesia has still been prioritized, therefore, characterization and identification varieties within and/or among species are absolutely required order to obtain desired based on market demand needs. The aim this research was determine morphological characteristics, flowering periods, the genetic relationship four species. This study carried ou...

We report Aculops ailanthi Lin, Jin, and Kuang, 1997 (Acariformes: Trombidiformes: Prostigmata: Eriophyidae) from Pennsylvania West Virginia, USA; present the first scanning electron micrographs of species in North America discuss morphological observations that clarify features observed slide-mounted specimens, such as number ridges on female genital flaps; briefly symptoms control an A. infes...

Florida citrus production has declined by more than 70% because of Huanglongbing (HLB), and a major cause tree decline is nutrient uptake limitations caused HLB. This study was conducted on 6–9-year-old “Valencia” sweet orange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck] Swingle rootstock in the central southwest to evaluate effects macronutrient fertilization foliar application Mn Fe growth yield HLB-affecte...
