The consumption of different species of Ipomoea has been reported since the traditional times and their use as medicine is also an orthodox. Ipomoea alba being highly rich in nutrients is widely used as raw or cooked vegetables in different regions of biosphere as it helps to heal certain unreliable happenings such as snake bites, filariasis, constipation, boils and wounds, also it overcomes obesity, used as antioxidant etc. Highlighting the essential feature of Ipomoea alba along with how its use is practised all over the world and focus on its medicinal importance is main aim of this review paper.

    Appendix Color Plates of Solanales Species The first half of the color plates (Plates 1–8) shows a selection of phytochemically prominent solanaceous species, the second half (Plates 9–16) a selection of convol- vulaceous counterparts. The scientific name of the species in bold (for authorities see text and tables) may be followed (in brackets) by a frequently used though invalid synonym and/or a common name if existent. The next information refers to the habitus, origin/natural distribution, and – if applicable – cultivation. If more than one photograph is shown for a certain species there will be explanations for each of them. Finally, section numbers of the phytochemical Chapters 3–8 are given, where the respective species are discussed. The individually combined occurrence of sec- ondary metabolites from different structural classes characterizes every species. However, it has to be remembered that a small number of citations does not neces- sarily indicate a poorer secondary metabolism in a respective species compared with others; this may just be due to less studies being carried out.

LAWSON, MARY N. DAVIS, CAROLYN BRAZELL – Biology Department WILLIAM N. SETZER – Mentor – Chemistry Department Overview Antibiotic and antifungal resistance is a growing concern. Novel anti-tumor compounds are continuously sought after. If a novel phytochemical can be discovered with high specificity for certain types of cancer cells, then this could be an invaluable aid to oncological medicine. Plant-based drugs (phyto-pharmaceuticals) have always made up a considerable portion of our known medicines. The search for these plant medicines often begins with anthropological/ ethnobotanical research, as was the case here.

Received: September 16, 2019; Published: September 30, 2019 Abstract Begomoviruses (family Geminiviridae, genus Begomovirus) that infect sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) are known as sweepovi- ruses and are a major constraint to sweetpotato production. To date, the known distribution of sweepoviruses in Africa has been limited to Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Sudan and Tanzania. Weeds can act as sources or reservoirs for important crop pathogens, but their role in crop plant diseases in Africa has not been well documented. Begomoviruses infect a wide range of dicotyledonous plants, including cultivated crops and weeds. Sweetpotato plants and weeds from Burkina Faso exhibiting severe leaf curling, suggesting the presence of begomoviruses, were tested and characterized using rolling circle amplification followed by cloning and sequencing.

  • VINES in the NEW JERSEY LANDSCAPE Barbara J
    VINES IN THE NEW JERSEY LANDSCAPE Barbara J. Bromley, Mercer Co. Horticulturist 07 The group considered vines describes a mode of plant behavior, rather than a plant family. Vines are plants whose stems are so weak that they must creep along the ground, hang, or rely on a structure for support. They can be herbaceous or woody, evergreen or deciduous, annual or perennial. As a group, vines are quite versatile and can be used to form a shady bower, screen an unpleasant view or provide colorful flowers and fragrance. They may have showy or edible fruit or enhance an architectural feature. Vines climb by a variety of processes. These include sticky holdfasts, tendrils, weaving or twining on a support, aerial rootlets, and leaning. The growth habit may be dense or open, slow or rapid, contained or invasive. Some vines can cause physical damage to other plants or wooden structures because of their weight or method of clinging. It is important to know the characteristics of a selected plant to know whether it is a good choice for the chosen landscape area or likely to become a headache. Culturally, most vines require a deep, rich, moist, well-drained soil with a pH of about 6.5. Most prefer full sun, but will tolerate partial shade. Many will attach themselves to a trellis or other support, but some have to have hooks provided or need to be attached with twine to hold them in place as they grow. Botanical Name Common name Conditions Flowers Comments Actinidia arguta Tara vine s/ps, moist white Pest resistant.

  • Flowering Vines for Florida1 Sydney Park Brown and Gary W
    CIRCULAR 860 Flowering Vines for Florida1 Sydney Park Brown and Gary W. Knox2 Many flowering vines thrive in Florida’s mild climate. By carefully choosing among this diverse and wonderful group of plants, you can have a vine blooming in your landscape almost every month of the year. Vines can function in the landscape in many ways. When grown on arbors, they provide lovely “doorways” to our homes or provide transition points from one area of the landscape to another (Figure 1). Unattractive trees, posts, and poles can be transformed using vines to alter their form, texture, and color (Figure 2).Vines can be used to soften and add interest to fences, walls, and other hard spaces (Figures 3 and 4).

Muscadine and bunch grapes are deciduous vines that fulfill that role and produce abundant fruit.
