Thirty-two cultivars of 10 commonly-grown bedding plants, representing eight families, were evaluated for their response to infection by the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita race 3, under greenhouse conditions. Four ageratum cultivars, two marigold, and two salvia cultivars were rated resistant after exposure for 8 weeks. Four begonia, four celosia, one dianthus, one verbena, one vinca...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of an antioxidant/anti-inflammatory supplement containing standardized lemon verbena (Aloysia triphylla, Lippia citriodora) extract and fish oil omega-3 fatty acid in a human pilot trial as an alternative treatment for joint management. METHODS AND DESIGN First, antioxidant activity of the supplement was determined through an oxygen ra...

Clover yellow mosaic virus (ClYMV) is reported for the first time in two cultivars of ornamental verbena (Verbena X hybrid) from Christchurch New Zealand. Sequencing a ~ 500 bp fragment 8 KDa triple gene block and coat protein partial genes indicated NZ isolates were closely related to ClYMV UK Poland more distantly clover Australia Japan. has been intercepted quarantine tulips detected white A...

Anthocyanins, Flavonoids, Biosynthesis, Flavonoid 3',5'-Hydroxylation, Verbena hybrida Enzyme preparations from flowers of Verbena hybrida do not only catalyse hydroxylation of the B-ring of flavanones and dihydroflavonols in the 3'-position but also in the 5'-position. Enzyme activity for 3',5'-hydroxylation was found to be localized in the microsomal fraction and required NADPH as cofactor. E...
