  • Diversity of Carotenoid Composition in Flower Petals
    JARQ 45 (2), 163 – 171 (2011) http://www.jircas.affrc.go.jp Diversity of Carotenoid Composition in Flower Petals REVIEW Diversity of Carotenoid Composition in Flower Petals Akemi OHMIYA* National Institute of Floricultural Science, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305–8519, Japan) Abstract Carotenoids are yellow, orange, and red pigments that are widely distributed in nature. In plants, car- otenoids play important roles in photosynthesis and furnishing flowers and fruits with distinct colors. While most plant leaves show similar carotenoid profiles, containing carotenoids essential for photo- synthesis, the carotenoid composition of flower petals varies from species to species. In this review, I present a list of carotenoid composition in the flower petals of various plants and discuss the possi- ble causes of qualitative diversity.

  • Southern Garden History Plant Lists
    Southern Plant Lists Southern Garden History Society A Joint Project With The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation September 2000 1 INTRODUCTION Plants are the major component of any garden, and it is paramount to understanding the history of gardens and gardening to know the history of plants. For those interested in the garden history of the American south, the provenance of plants in our gardens is a continuing challenge. A number of years ago the Southern Garden History Society set out to create a ‘southern plant list’ featuring the dates of introduction of plants into horticulture in the South. This proved to be a daunting task, as the date of introduction of a plant into gardens along the eastern seaboard of the Middle Atlantic States was different than the date of introduction along the Gulf Coast, or the Southern Highlands. To complicate maters, a plant native to the Mississippi River valley might be brought in to a New Orleans gardens many years before it found its way into a Virginia garden. A more logical project seemed to be to assemble a broad array plant lists, with lists from each geographic region and across the spectrum of time. The project’s purpose is to bring together in one place a base of information, a data base, if you will, that will allow those interested in old gardens to determine the plants available and popular in the different regions at certain times. This manual is the fruition of a joint undertaking between the Southern Garden History Society and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In choosing lists to be included, I have been rather ruthless in expecting that the lists be specific to a place and a time.

A CONSIDERATION OF THE PHYSIOLOGY AND LIFE HISTORY OF A PARASITIC BOTRYTIS ON PEPPER AND LETTUCE.' BY GEORGE L. PELTIER. INTRODUCTION. During the autumn of 1911, while gathering the peppers (Capsicurn) in the vegetable plat of the Missouri Botanical Garden, the writer observed a fungus which was appearing as a parasite on the fruits. The peduncles were covered with a dark brown mass of conidia and mycelium, which so weakened the tissues that the fruit soon fell to the ground. On opening the peppers a number of large, flat, crust-like sclerotia, 1 cm. long and .5 cm. wide, were found to fill the interior. In most cases the seeds were also covered with the crust-like masses.

Summary DEVIC M., MOMCILOVIC I., KESTIC D., MAKSIMOVIC V. & KONJEVIC R. 2006. In vitro multiplication of willow gentian (Gentiana asclepiadea L.) and the production of gentiopicrine and mangiferin. - Phyton (Horn, Austria) 46 (1): 45 - 54, with 1 figure. - English with German summary. A protocol for in vitro propagation of Gentiana asclepiadea was developed. The best multiplication rate was obtained with woody plant medium (WPM) supple- mented with 8.9 [xM. BAP (6-benzylaminopurine) and 1.1 \\M IAA (indole-3-acetic acid). Gibberellic acid in the presence of 8.9 |.iM BAP and 1.1 |xM IAA stimulated shoot elongation without affecting multiplication index. Although spontaneous rooting on hormone-free medium was observed, auxins increased the rooting ability. Treatment with IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) induced a higher number of roots, while the addition of IAA caused an increase in root length.

Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University, Ternopil, Ukraine Corresponding author: Liliia Budniak ([email protected]) Received 7 April 2021 ♦ Accepted 21 April 2021 ♦ Published 20 May 2021 Citation: Budniak L, Slobodianiuk L, Marchyshyn S, Demydiak O, Dakhym I (2021) Determination of amino acids of some plants from Gentianaceae family. Pharmacia 68(2): 441–448. https://doi.org/10.3897/pharmacia.68.e67052 Abstract Medicines from plants are widely used in the complex treatment of different diseases every day. Therefore, theoretical and practical interest is the in-depth study of the herb of perspective plants like Centaurium erythraea Rafn. and Gentiana cruciata L. These plants have a long history of usage and interest of people. The aim of the study was to determine the content of amino acids in these plants. The amino acids composition and content in the herb of study species of the familyGentianaceae determined by the HPLC method. The results of the research revealed that the raw material of Centaurium erythraea Rafn. and Gentiana cruciata L. contains free and bound amino acids. Sixteen free and seventeen bound amino acids were identified in the herb of Centaurium erythraea Rafn. The herb of Gentiana cruciata L. contained thirteen free and fifteen bound amino acids. L-glutamic acid, L-arginine, L-aspartic acid, and L-cystine were predominant of Centaurium erythraea Rafn. herb. Amino acids L-lysine, L-serine, L-aspartic acid, and L-phenylal- anine were present in the herb of Gentiana cruciata L.
