Red Light Inhibition of Spore Germination in Lycopodium clavatum

Asthma following occupational exposure to Lycopodium clavatum in condom manufacturers.

Occupational asthma in two women employed in the manufacture of condoms is reported. The spores of Lycopodium clavatum, used as a rubber dusting agent, were identified as the causative agent.

New caloporoside derivatives and their inhibition of fungal spore germination.

In our ongoing screening culture fluid extracts of Gloeoporus (Caloporus) dichrous strain 83065 inhibited the germination of Magnaporthe grisea and Fusarium graminearum spores. While isolating the active metabolites two new caloporosides, caloporoside G and caloporoside H, in addition to the known caloporoside derivatives F-16438G, caloporoside A, and 2-hydroxy-6-(16-hydroxyheptadecyl)benzoic a...

Growth Response of Seedlings of Zea Mays (L.) to Aqueous Extract of Lycopodium Clavatum (L.)

Natural selection is a phenomenon, which allows nature to select at any point in time the structure and number of organism living in a particular habitat [1]. This competitive tendency has been shown and reported by several authors Bonner [2], Grummer et al. [3], Evenari (1961), Whittaker [4], Putman and Duke [5], and Fischer et al. [6]. Allelopathic behaviour can best be described as direct or...
