Lagerstroemia (crape myrtle) is an important plant genus used in ornamental horticulture in temperate regions worldwide. As such, numerous hybrids have been developed. However, DNA sequence resources and genome information for Lagerstroemia are limited, hindering evolutionary inferences regarding interspecific relationships. We report the complete plastid genome of Lagerstroemia fauriei. To our...

Phytochemical studies of leaf of the plant Lagerstroemia Parviflora Roxb (Lythraceae) reveals the presence of phytosterols, tannins, alkaloids, glycosides and absence of saponin, flavanoid and triterpenoids have been reported in this plant for the first time.

Range expansion during biological invasion requires that invaders adapt to geographical variation in climate, which should yield latitudinal clines in reproductive phenology. We investigated geographic variation in life history among 25 introduced populations of Lythrum salicaria, a widespread European invader of North American wetlands. We detected a strong latitudinal cline in initiation of f...

pomegranate (punica granatum l.), lythraceae, is mainly grown in mediterranean region. it is one of the major cultivated productions of iran, which have been used in folk medicine for many centuries. it has been proved that pomegranate has a high antioxidant activity and is effective in the prevention of atherosclerosis. this study compares the antioxidant activity, total phenolic and flavonoid...

Crapemyrtle bark scale, Acanthococcus (=Eriococcus) lagerstroemiae (Kuwana) (Hemiptera: Eriococcidae), is a newly introduced insect pest on crapemyrtles, Lagerstroemia spp. (Myrtales: Lythraceae), one of the most popular flowering shrubs in the U.S. Since first detected in Texas in 2004, this pest has spread to twelve states causing losses to stakeholders. To develop a management plan, we revie...

We announce here the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of Lagerstroemia guilinensis (Lythraceae, Myrtales), a species endemic to the Guilin limestone area, along with its genome structure and functional gene annotations. The plant was collected from Guilin, Guangxi, China, and deposited as a germplasm accession of the Zhejiang Agriculture and Forestry University Collection (ZAFU 150714...

Plant galls of Aceria granati (Canestrini et Massalongo 1894) were observed on the leaves Punica granatum (Lythraceae) in a private garden Nitra July, 2017. is monophagous gall mite damaging granatum. This was present one locality only and probably imported from Hungary via plant trade. first observation an occurrence Slovakia.

Woodfordia fruticosa is locally known as Dhawai, belonging to the Lythraceae family. Woodfordia fruticosa is an important medicinal plant of tropical and subtropical India. It has wide range of medicinal and pharmacological application. It is commonly used in the treatment of various diseases like diarrhea, dysentery, fever, headache, hemorrhoids, herpes, internal hemorrhage, leucorrhoea, liver...

This is the first record of winter eggs of the holocyclic monoeceous crapemyrtle aphid Tinocallis kahawaluokalani (Kirkaldy) on Lagerstroemia indica L., in Brazil. The shiny black eggs were observed since early autumn, laid on small folds and crevices of the branches. In order to evaluate and model the egg abundance and distribution, four branches from the cardinal points of 10 plants of two ag...
