Abstract Cancer is a major cause of death worldwide and causes serious problems in human life. It is developed by uncontrolled growth of a cell or a group of cells. There are many difficulties in treatment of cancer and many researchers are involved in investigating for effective drugs to treat the disease. Caryophyllaceae is a large family of about 86 genera and 2200 herbaceous or subshrub species. The family is known for its ornamental plants and saponin compounds. In the present study, the potential cytotoxic activity of 17 selected species from Caryophyllaceae has been investigated against MCF-7, HepG-2, A-549, HT-29 and MDBK cells using MTT assay. Five species exhibited cytotoxic effects with IC50 values < 100 μg/mL. Silene ampullata and Acanthophyllum bracteatum extracts were toxic only against MCF-7 cell line suggesting them as suitable candidates for more investigations of breast cancer studies. Keywords: Caryophyllaceae, cytotoxic activity, MTT assay Introduction Cancer is known as the second cause of death with lower side effects. Medicinal plants as worldwide and is characterized by the failure in natural compounds represent a vast potential the regulation of the tissue growth that results in resource for anticancer researches [3].

The risk to California from Dolichodorus heterocephalus is described herein and a permanent pest rating is proposed. History & Status: Background: The genus Dolichodorus was created by Cobb (1914) when he named D. heterocephalus collected from fresh water at Silver Springs, Florida and Douglas Lake, Michigan. This nematode is a migratory ectoparasite that feeds only from the outside on the cells, on the root surfaces, and mainly at root tip. They live freely in the soil and feed on plants without becoming attached or entering inside the roots. Males and females are both present. This genus is notable in that its members are relatively large for plant parasites and have long stylets. Usually, awl nematodes are found in moist to wet soil, low areas of fields, and near irrigation ditches and other bodies of fresh water. Because they prefer moist to wet soils, they rarely occur in agricultural fields and are not as well studied as other plant-parasitic nematodes (Crow and Brammer, 2003). Infestations in Florida may be due to soil containing nematodes being spread from riverbanks CA LIF ORNIA D EPA RTM EN T OF FOOD & AGRICULTURE onto fields, or by moving with water during flooding (Christie, 1959).

Owing to the rapid proliferation of callus tissues, in vitro production of avonoids has their own specic importance. Callus cultures raised followed by auxin directed biosynthesis of avonoid through related transcript prole were carried out. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium fortied with 2,4- Dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4- D) or picloram induced formation of friable callus from internode derived cultures of D. chinensis. Culture medium containing 2,4- D (10 µM) produced the highest avonoid content, 4.44 mg quercetin equivalent per gram (QE g− 1) under incubation in continuous dark condition, while maximum dry weight yield (0.38 g/ culture) was obtained from 10 µM 2,4- D under 16 h light / 8 h dark condition (50 µmol m− 2 s− 1 irradiance) at 60 days of incubation. The callus raised in light condition in 10 µM 2,4- D selected to analyze avonoid related gene expression prole viz., chalcone synthase (CHS), chalcone isomerase (CHI), avanone-3-hydroxylase (F3H), and avonol synthase (FLS) at specic time intervals.

Petersen Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Tennessee Knoxville, TN 37919-1100 Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract—The Morrill Act of 1862 afforded the US states the opportunity to found state colleges with agriculture as part of their mission—the so-called “land-grant colleges.” The Hatch Act of 1887 gave the same opportunity for agricultural experiment stations as functions of the land-grant colleges, and the “third Morrill Act” (the Smith-Lever Act) of 1914 added an extension dimension to the experiment stations. Overall, the end of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th was a time for growing appreciation for, and growth of institutional education in the natural sciences, especially botany and its specialties, mycology, and phytopathology. This paper outlines a particular genealogy of mycologists and plant pathologists representative of this era. Professor Albert Nelson Prentiss, first of Michigan State then of Cornell, Professor William Russel Dudley of Cornell and Stanford, Professor Mason Blanchard Thomas of Wabash College, and Professor Herbert Hice Whetzel of Cornell Plant Pathology were major players in the scenario. The supporting cast, the students selected, trained, and guided by these men, was legion, a few of whom are briefly traced here. Key words—“New Botany,” European influence, agrarian roots Chapter 1.

Koch 1 1234567890():,; Angiosperms have become the dominant terrestrial plant group by diversifying for ~145 million years into a broad range of environments. During the course of evolution, numerous morphological innovations arose, often preceded by whole genome duplications (WGD). The mustard family (Brassicaceae), a successful angiosperm clade with ~4000 species, has been diversifying into many evolutionary lineages for more than 30 million years. Here we develop a species inventory, analyze morphological variation, and present a maternal, plastome-based genus-level phylogeny. We show that increased morphological disparity, despite an apparent absence of clade-specific morphological innovations, is found in tribes with WGDs or diversification rate shifts. Both are important processes in Brassicaceae, resulting in an overall high net diversification rate. Character states show frequent and independent gain and loss, and form varying combinations. Therefore, Brassicaceae pave the way to concepts of phy- logenetic genome-wide association studies to analyze the evolution of morphological form and function. 1 Centre for Organismal Studies, University of Heidelberg, Im Neuenheimer Feld 345, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany. 2 GYDLE, 1135 Grande Allée Ouest, Québec, QC G1S 1E7, Canada. 3 Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Charles University, Benátská 2, 128 01, Prague, Czech Republic.
  • Lecture 30 Origins of Horticultural Science

    Lecture 30 Origins of Horticultural Science

    Lecture 30 1 Lecture 30 Origins of Horticultural Science The origin of horticultural science derives from a confl uence of 3 events: the formation of scientifi c societies in the 17th century, the creation of agricultural and horticultural societies in the 18th century, and the establishment of state-supported agricultural research in the 19th century. Two seminal horticultural societies were involved: The Horticultural Society of London (later the Royal Horticulture Society) founded in 1804 and the Society for Horticultural Science (later the American Society for Horticultural Science) founded in 1903. Three horticulturists can be considered as the Fathers of Horticultural Science: Thomas Andrew Knight, John Lindley, and Liberty Hyde Bailey. Philip Miller (1691–1771) Miller was Gardener to the Worshipful Company of Apothecaries at their Botanic Garden in Chelsea and is known as the most important garden writer of the 18th century. The Gardener’s and Florist’s Diction- ary or a Complete System of Horticulture (1724) was followed by a greatly improved edition entitled, The Gardener’s Dictionary containing the Methods of Cultivating and Improving the Kitchen, Fruit and Flower Garden (1731). This book was translated into Dutch, French, German and became a standard reference for a century in both England and America. In the 7th edition (1759), he adopted the Linnaean system of classifi cation. The edition enlarged by Thomas Martyn (1735–1825), Professor of Botany at Cambridge University, has been considered the largest gardening manual to have ever existed. Miller is credited with introducing about 200 American plants. The 16th edition of one of his books, The Gardeners Kalendar (1775)—reprinted in facsimile edition in 1971 by the National Council of State Garden Clubs—gives direc- tions for gardeners month by month and contains an introduction to the science of botany.
  • Colonial Garden Plants

    Colonial Garden Plants

    COLONIAL GARD~J~ PLANTS I Flowers Before 1700 The following plants are listed according to the names most commonly used during the colonial period. The botanical name follows for accurate identification. The common name was listed first because many of the people using these lists will have access to or be familiar with that name rather than the botanical name. The botanical names are according to Bailey’s Hortus Second and The Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture (3, 4). They are not the botanical names used during the colonial period for many of them have changed drastically. We have been very cautious concerning the interpretation of names to see that accuracy is maintained. By using several references spanning almost two hundred years (1, 3, 32, 35) we were able to interpret accurately the names of certain plants. For example, in the earliest works (32, 35), Lark’s Heel is used for Larkspur, also Delphinium. Then in later works the name Larkspur appears with the former in parenthesis. Similarly, the name "Emanies" appears frequently in the earliest books. Finally, one of them (35) lists the name Anemones as a synonym. Some of the names are amusing: "Issop" for Hyssop, "Pum- pions" for Pumpkins, "Mushmillions" for Muskmellons, "Isquou- terquashes" for Squashes, "Cowslips" for Primroses, "Daffadown dillies" for Daffodils. Other names are confusing. Bachelors Button was the name used for Gomphrena globosa, not for Centaurea cyanis as we use it today. Similarly, in the earliest literature, "Marygold" was used for Calendula. Later we begin to see "Pot Marygold" and "Calen- dula" for Calendula, and "Marygold" is reserved for Marigolds.
