We have never had so many problems in fitting the range of plants we have “on our books” into the available space! We always try and keep our lists “democratic” and balanced although at times our prejudices show and one or two groups rise to the top. This year we are offering an unprecedented range of calochortus in a multiplicity of sizes, colours and flower shapes from the charming fairy lanterns of C. albidus through to the spectacular, later-flowering mariposas with upward-facing bowl-shaped flowers in a rich tapestry of shades from canary-yellow through to lilac, lavender and purple. Counterpoised to these flashy dandies we are offering an assortment of choice muscari whose quiet charm, softer colours and Tulipa vvedenskyi Tecophilaea cyanocrocus Violacea persistent flowering make them no less effective in the winter and spring garden. Standouts among this group are the deliciously scented duo, M. muscarimi and M. macrocarpum and the striking and little known tassel-hyacith, M. weissii. While it has its devotees, many gardeners are unaware of the qualities of the large and diverse tribe of “onions”, known as alliums.

  • Eucomis Bicolor Baker) an Ornamental and Medicinal Plant
    Available online at www.worldscientificnews.com WSN 110 (2018) 159-171 EISSN 2392-2192 Chitosan improves growth and bulb yield of pineapple lily (Eucomis bicolor Baker) an ornamental and medicinal plant Andżelika Byczyńska Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Environmental Management and Agriculture, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin, Poland E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT The wide demand for natural biostimulants encourages the search for new, alternative sources of substances with high biological activity. Chitosan can promote plant growth and root system development, enhance photosynthetic activity, increase nutrient and metabolite content. Eucomis bicolor, commonly known as the ‘pineapple lily’, is not widely known in terms of cultivation and biological activity. The aim of the experiment was to determine the effect of chitosan on growth of Eucomis bicolor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to describe the effect of chitosan on morphological features of Eucomis bicolor. The results showed that soaking Eucomis bicolor bulbs in a chitosan solution before planting has stimulated the growth, flowering and yield of bulbs. Treating the plants with chitosan at 50 mg/L had the most beneficial effect on the number of leaves per plant, the relative chlorophyll content in the leaves as well as the number of bulbs per plant. Chitosan has a multi-directional, positive effect on plant growth and can be used as a potential biostimulant.

  • Evaluation of Carrageenan, Xanthan Gum and Depolymerized Chitosan Based Coatings for Pineapple Lily Plant Production
    horticulturae Communication Evaluation of Carrageenan, Xanthan Gum and Depolymerized Chitosan Based Coatings for Pineapple Lily Plant Production Piotr Salachna * and Anna Pietrak Department of Horticulture, West Pomeranian University of Technology, 3 Papieza˙ Pawła VI Str., 71-459 Szczecin, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-91-449-6359 Abstract: Some natural polysaccharides and their derivatives are used in horticulture to stimulate plant growth. This study investigated the effects of coating bulbs with carrageenan-depolymerized chitosan (C-DCh) or xanthan-depolymerized chitosan (X-DCh) on growth, flowering, and bulb yield as well as physiological and biochemical attributes of pineapple lily (Eucomis autumnalis). The results showed that treatment with C-DCh or X-DCh significantly increased all growth parameters, bulb yield, greenness index, stomatal conductance, total N, total K, and total sugar content of bulbs and accelerated anthesis as compared with untreated bulbs. The positive impact of coatings on plant growth and physiological attributes depended on the type of biopolymer complexes. The X-DCh treatment exhibited the greatest plant height, fresh weight, daughter bulb number, greenness index, stomatal conductance, total N, K, and sugar content. However, this treatment induced a significant decrease in L-ascorbic acid, total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity. Overall, the results of this study indicated high suitability of C-DCh and X-DCh as bulb coatings for pineapple lily plant production. Citation: Salachna, P.; Pietrak, A.

  • High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Determination of Colchicine in Pharmaceutical Formulations and Biological Fluids
    Innovare International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Academic Sciences ISSN- 0975-1491 Vol 6, Issue 6, 2014 Original Article HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHIC DETERMINATION OF COLCHICINE IN PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS AND BIOLOGICAL FLUIDS BABU GIRIYA GOWDA* Department of Chemistry, Maharani’s Science College for Women, Bangalore 560001, India. Email: [email protected] Received: 24 Apr 2014 Revised and Accepted: 23 May 2014 ABSTRACT Objective: A simple, rapid, precise and accurate high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed for the estimation of colchicine (COLC) in bulk drug, pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluids. Methods: The developed HPLC method involves the using of a mixture of acetonitrile : methanol : water (32:48:20 v/v) as a mobile phase. The pH of the mobile phase was adjusted to 5.2 with phosphoric acid. A CLC C18 column . The flow rate of the mobile phase was set to 1.2 ml/min. Injection volume was set at 20 l and the detection of the analyte was done at 254 nm. (5 μm, 25 cm x 4.6 mm i.d.) was used for the elution Results: The linear regression analysis data for calibration curve μshowed a good relationship with correlation coefficient of 0.9997. The concentration range was 7-130 g/ml. The percentage recovery of COLC was found to be 99.87 %. The limits of detection and quantification are also reported. This selective method is found to be accurate, precise and effectively used for the determination of COLC in various pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluidsμ with better chromatographic conditions. Conclusions: The method was successfully applied to the assay of COLC in pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluids and the results were statistically compared with those of the reference method by applying Student’s t-test and F-test.

  • Ornithogalum
    NATURALLY SPECIAL Naturalising flower bulbs and specialities for public green spaces! CONTENT Naturally Special! Naturalising bulbs is a specialism within the huge range of spring- flowering bulbs. Naturalising means that a flower bulb can not only sustain itself in the right place, but it can also propagate. There are increasingly more of these bulbs. From our own tests and from countless conversations with people in towns, parks and botanical gardens, we have at last drawn up a list of ‘naturalisers’. In combination with plenty of information about the best location, you can create sustainable planting with this selection. With the dramatic decline in the number of insects due to declining biodiversity, attention is fortunately being paid again to plants as providers of nectar and pollen. Our selection of naturalising bulbs can make a good contribution to this issue in early spring.

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com South African Journal of Botany 77 (2011) 934–946 www.elsevier.com/locate/sajb The potential of South African indigenous plants for the international cut flower trade ⁎ E.Y. Reinten a, J.H. Coetzee b, B.-E. van Wyk c, a Department of Agronomy, Stellenbosch University, Private Bag, Matieland 7606, South Africa b P.O. Box 2086, Dennesig 7601, South Africa c Department of Botany and Plant Biotechnology, University of Johannesburg, P.O. Box 524, Auckland Park 2006, South Africa Abstract A broad review is presented of recent developments in the commercialization of southern Africa indigenous flora for the cut flower trade, in- cluding potted flowers and foliages (“greens”). The botany, horticultural traits and potential for commercialization of several indigenous plants have been reported in several publications. The contribution of species indigenous and/or endemic to southern Africa in the development of cut flower crop plants is widely acknowledged. These include what is known in the trade as gladiolus, freesia, gerbera, ornithogalum, clivia, agapan- thus, strelitzia, plumbago and protea. Despite the wealth of South African flower bulb species, relatively few have become commercially important in the international bulb industry. Trade figures on the international markets also reflect the importance of a few species of southern African origin. The development of new research tools are contributing to the commercialization of South African plants, although propagation, cultivation and post-harvest handling need to be improved. A list of commercially relevant southern African cut flowers (including those used for fresh flowers, dried flowers, foliage and potted flowers) is presented, together with a subjective evaluation of several genera and species with perceived potential for the development of new crops for the florist trade.
