Sclerotium Rolfsii Sacc. in Perfect Stage Vii. Germination of Basidiospores

In nature Sclerotium Rolfsii attacks the hosts usually at their foot. In a case was observed by the author a Hibiscus plant attacked at about a meter above the ground. By what means the pathogene reached at that height is still unknown. It may be possible that the infection has been caused by basidiospores transported by flow of air. It is therefore interesting to know the relation of germinati...

AVOCADO FRUIT RESPONSES TO Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz) SACC

Anthracnose caused by the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides causes serious post harvest losses of avocado fruit worldwide. Typically, infections are initiated in the field on unripe fruit, but remain quiescent as germinated appressoria until fruit ripening. Over the past two decades pepper spot, a pre-harvest disease also caused by C. gloeosporioides, has been reported on 'Hass' av...

Anti-inflammatory activity of licochalcone A isolated from Glycyrrhiza inflata.

Licochalcone A was isolated from the roots of Glycyrrhiza inflata and evaluated for its anti-inflammatory activity in xylene-induced mice ear edema and carrageenan-induced paw edema tests. At the same time, the inhibition of prostaglandin biosynthesis by licochalcone A was also studied in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse macrophage cells. At 5 mg/ ear, licochalcone A showed remarkable eff...

Title: Blood circulation in the tunicate Corella inflata (Corellidae)

The ascidian tunicate Corella inflata is relatively transparent compared to other solitary tunicates and the circulatory system can be visualized by injecting high molecular weight fluorescein labeled dextran into the beating heart or the large vessels at the ends of the heart. In addition, after staining with neutral red the movement of blood cells can be followed to further define and charact...
