PREMISE OF THE STUDY Ficus virens (Moraceae) is distributed widely in South and Southeast Asia, Melanesia, and northern Australia, and it is also cultivated outside its original northern range limit in southwestern China. Therefore, the species is well suited to explore the mechanism of range limits of Ficus species. However, little is known about its genetic background. METHODS AND RESULTS F...

Abstract An interesting specimen of Ficus L. was collected from the Idukki district Kerala. Based on detailed examination with protologues, literatures and type specimens, plant identified as virens Aiton var. dispersa Chantaras. This is first report occurrence this taxon in India. A description, photographs, illustrations, comparison allied taxa identification key are provided.

Previous studies have shown that climatic and anthropogenic factors influence the variations in stable isotope signature of tree materials an urban ecosystem. However, responses trees to various precipitation interventions are unclear. To fill research gap, isotopic composition (δ15N δ18O) total nitrogen content soil-plant system forests were measured, focusing on typical species (Populus tomen...

Ustilaginoidea virens is a flower-infecting fungus that forms false smut balls in rice panicle. Rice false smut has long been considered a minor disease, but recently it occurred frequently and emerged as a major disease in rice production. In vitro co-cultivation of U. virens strain with young rice panicles showed that U. virens enters inside of spikelets from the apex and then grows downward ...

Condensed tannins from Ficus virens leaves, fruit, and stem bark were isolated and their structures characterized by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, high performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The results showed that the leaves, fruit, and stem bark condensed tann...
