(Asteraceae) collected at complete fowering stage from Southwest of Algeria, were isolated by hydrodistillation and subsequently analyzed by means of GC and GC/MS. Quantitative and qualitative diferences in chemical compositions between the studied parts of this plant were observed. The EOs were rich in oxygenated monoterpenes (65.91–79.94%). The major constituents in the fowers, leaves and stems were: camphor (68.12, 65.17, 55.72%), 1,8-cineole (8.22, 4.77, 0.7%) and α-terpineol (2.84, 5.35, 2.76%). The highest EO yields were obtained for the leaves and the fowers (0.59 and 0.49% “v/w”, respectively), whereas, the stems were characterized by very weak yield value (0.05%).

  • SALT TOLERANT PLANTS Recommended for Pender County Landscapes
    North Carolina Cooperative Extension NC STATE UNIVERSITY SALT TOLERANT PLANTS Recommended for Pender County Landscapes Pender County Cooperative Extension Urban Horticulture Leaflet 14 Coastal Challenges Plants growing at the beach are subjected to environmental conditions much different than those planted further inland. Factors such as blowing sand, poor soils, high temperatures, and excessive drainage all influence how well plants perform in coastal landscapes, though the most significant effect on growth is salt spray. Most plants will not tolerate salt accumulating on their foliage, making plant selection for beachfront land- scapes particularly challenging. Salt Spray Salt spray is created when waves break on the beach, throwing tiny droplets of salty water into the air. On-shore breezes blow this salt laden air landward where it comes in contact with plant foliage. The amount of salt spray plants receive varies depending on their proximity to the beachfront, creating different vegetation zones as one gets further away from the beachfront. The most salt-tolerant species surviving in the frontal dune area. As distance away from the ocean increases, the level of salt spray decreases, allowing plants with less salt tolerance to survive. Natural Protection The impact of salt spray on plants can be lessened by physically blocking salt laden winds. This occurs naturally in the maritime forest, where beachfront plants protect landward species by creating a layer of foliage that blocks salt spray. It is easy to see this effect on the ocean side of maritime forest plants, which are “sheared” by salt spray, causing them to grow at a slant away from the oceanfront.

E-mail: [email protected]; Telfax: +81 (0)87 898 8909. Accepted 21 November, 2019 Numerous members of the Anthemideae are important cut-flower and ornamental crops, as well as medicinal and aromatic plants, many of which produce essential oils used in folk and modern medicine, the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. These oils and compounds contained within them are used in the pharmaceutical, flavour and fragrance industries. Moreover, as people search for alternative and herbal forms of medicine and relaxation (such as aromatherapy), and provided that there are no suitable synthetic substitutes for many of the compounds or difficulty in profiling and mimicking complex compound mixtures in the volatile oils, the original plant extracts will continue to be used long into the future. This review highlights the importance of secondary metabolites and essential oils from principal members of this tribe, their global social, medicinal and economic relevance and potential. Key words: Apoptosis, artemisinin, chamomile, essential oil, feverfew, pyrethrin, tansy.

Frances Johnston August 2005 FORWARD “In a small section of the garden a tiny weed spoke to the blooms that grew there. ‘Why,’ he asked, ‘does the gardener seek to kill me? Do I not have a right to life? Are my leaves not green, as yours are? Is it too much to ask that I be allowed to grow and see the sun?’ The blooms pondered on this, and decided to ask the gardener to spare the weed. He did so. Day by day the weed grew, stronger and stronger, taller and taller, its leaves covering the other plants, its roots spreading.

Colorado's noxious weed list is divided into A, B and C categories which require specifi c levels of man- agement. These plants are no longer allowed to be sold in our state and should not be planted. Specifi c information is available from the Colorado We Wish to Thank ... State Noxious Weed Program or from your local county weed manager. Included for each invasive are alternatives that may be planted instead. We Irene Shonle, CSU Extension, for her project leadership have divided the choices by native and cultivated options and regionally by mountain and lower elevations.

  • Achene Micro-Morphology of Anthemis (Asteraceae) and Its Allies in Iran with Emphasis on Systematics
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE & BIOLOGY 1560–8530/2007/09–3–486–488 http://www.fspublishers.org Achene Micro-morphology of Anthemis (Asteraceae) and its Allies in Iran with Emphasis on Systematics ABDOLKARIM CHEHREGANI1 AND NATEGHEH MAHANFAR Laboratory of Plant, Cell and Molecular Biology, Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, Bu-Ali University, Hamedan, Iran 1Correspondence author’s e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Anthemideae is a large tribe of Astraceae and poses difficulties in recognizing and classifying its members based on morphological characters. This research was focused on evaluating achene peculiarities for systematic purpose. Achene micro- morphological characteristics such as size, shape, papuse, sulcuse, lacune, etc., were considered useful in species recognition. Lacunas characters in each studied taxa were specific and regarded as good separator character in the studied taxa of this tribe. Based on data, Tanacetum kotschyi was considered as a problematic species that needs to be studied further. Key Words: Anthemideae; Anthemis; SEM; Achene; Systematic INTRODUCTION were deposited in Tehran University Herbarium and Bu-Ali Sina University (Table I). The achenes were coated with a Anthemideae is the seventh largest tribe of Asteraceae thin layer of gold-paladium and studied with a JEOL-840 with about 109 genera and 1740 species worldwide Scanning Electron Microscope (Japan) at Sanati Sharif (Bremer, 1994; Tahir et al., 2002). The tribe and shows a University, Tehran, Iran. Achene morphological and micro- temperate distribution (Heywood & Humphries, 1977; morphological characters such as size, shape, papuse, Bremer & Humphries, 1993; Francisco-Ortega et al., 2001). sulcuse, lacune and etc., were compared with prepared The members of this tribe have been studied by several micrograph.
