  • Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees
    Selecting juglone-tolerant plants Landscaping Near Black Walnut Trees Black walnut trees (Juglans nigra) can be very attractive in the home landscape when grown as shade trees, reaching a potential height of 100 feet. The walnuts they produce are a food source for squirrels, other wildlife and people as well. However, whether a black walnut tree already exists on your property or you are considering planting one, be aware that black walnuts produce juglone. This is a natural but toxic chemical they produce to reduce competition for resources from other plants. This natural self-defense mechanism can be harmful to nearby plants causing “walnut wilt.” Having a walnut tree in your landscape, however, certainly does not mean the landscape will be barren. Not all plants are sensitive to juglone. Many trees, vines, shrubs, ground covers, annuals and perennials will grow and even thrive in close proximity to a walnut tree. Production and Effect of Juglone Toxicity Juglone, which occurs in all parts of the black walnut tree, can affect other plants by several means: Stems Through root contact Leaves Through leakage or decay in the soil Through falling and decaying leaves When rain leaches and drips juglone from leaves Nuts and hulls and branches onto plants below. Juglone is most concentrated in the buds, nut hulls and All parts of the black walnut tree produce roots and, to a lesser degree, in leaves and stems. Plants toxic juglone to varying degrees. located beneath the canopy of walnut trees are most at risk. In general, the toxic zone around a mature walnut tree is within 50 to 60 feet of the trunk, but can extend to 80 feet.

D., Greeshma Rejimon and Alexeyena Varghese* Department of Pharmacognosy, Amrita School of Pharmacy, Amrita Viswavidhyapeetham University, AIMS Health Sciences Campus, Kochi, Kerala, India _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Impatiens balsamina belongs to the family balsaminaceae, is an annual plant commonly known as ‘garden balsam’ or ‘rose balsam’. This plant is native to southern Asia in India. I. balsamina is used in traditional methods such as Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha for various diseases and physiological conditions such as Jaundice, Corns, Snake bite etc. Phytochemical studies revealed the presence of many valuable compounds like naphthoquinones, coumarins, phenolic acids, flavonoids, anthocyanidins and steroids. The different parts of the plants like leaves, stem juice, flower are used in different places. I. balsamina have been reported to have various pharmacological activities such as antibacterial, antimicrobial, antifungal, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antipruritic effects. The current review summarizes published information about the ethanopharmacology, chemical constituents, biological activities and toxicological study I.balsamina. The present review summarizes all the research work carried out on this plant in order to provide updated information

  • Abstract an Examination of Possible Carnivory in Silene
    ABSTRACT AN EXAMINATION OF POSSIBLE CARNIVORY IN SILENE REGIA, A MEMBER OF THE CARYOPHYLLACEAE by Garrett John Dienno Silene regia, commonly known as Royal Catchfly, a member of the Caryophyllaceae, is known to ensnare small insects with its glandular trichomes. This morphological adaptation is primarily thought to deter herbivory, but it has been speculated that S. regia may also be carnivorous. To demonstrate that S. regia is carnivorous the following objectives must be shown: S. regia can attract, capture, and retain prey; secrete proteinases to facilitate nutrient absorption; and absorb/translocate the resultant nutrients. This study addressed the first two of these objectives through field observations, UV photography, SEM imaging, and a series of experiments designed to examine a capture- induced proteinase response. While S. regia was able to ensnare insects and possessed highly specialized morphological structures for doing so a form of active attractant could not be demonstrated, and as such failed to support the first objective in its entirety. Negative test results for a capture-induced proteinase response failed to support the second objective. As both objectives were unsupported it was concluded that S. regia is not carnivorous.

Hummingbirds are found only in the Americas with at least 330 species from Alaska to the tip of South America. The greatest numbers are found in the tropics with fewer than 20 species normally found in the United States and Canada. Hummingbirds seem particularly attracted to many species of the genera Elleanthus, Cochlioda, and Comparettia. Some species of Masdevallia, Epidendrum, Encyclia, Cattleya, Sobralia, and Laelia have also adapted to hummingbirds.

Historically, the isthmus of Costa Rica and Panama has been a source of fascination for its strategic position linking North America to South America. In terms of biodiversity, the isthmus is considered one of the richest regions in the world. Orchidaceae is the most diverse plant family in the area, and the number of species is triple that of other well-represented angiosperm families such as Rubiaceae, Fabaceae and Poaceae. Though we are still far from knowing the exact number of orchid species occurring extant in both countries nowadays, at present the orchid flora reported for Costa Rica (1574 spp.) and Panama (1372 spp.) summarise together about 2010 species; which represents 6.5-8.0% of all orchid species on just about 1% of the Earth’s land surface. Pleurothallidinae and Laeliinae are the most species rich groups and contain the largest genera: Lepanthes, Pleurothallis, Stelis and Epidendrum.
