Elaeagnus angustifolia L. is a Eurasian tree that has become naturalized and has various ecological, medicinal and economical uses. In this study, a combination of morphological traits and RAPD markers were used to study the presence or absence of an association between genetic variation and morphological features among five populations of E. angustifolia collected from the East Azarbaijan of I...

Partial 16S ribosomal DNAs (rDNAs) were PCR amplified and sequenced from Frankia strains living in root nodules of plants belonging to the families Elaeagnaceae and Rhamnaceae, including Colletia hystrix, Elaeagnus angustifolia, an unidentified Elaeagnus sp., Talguenea quinquenervia, and Trevoa trinervis. Nearly full-length 16S rDNAs were sequenced from strains of Frankia living in nodules of C...

As a highly resistant urban ornamental plant, Elaeagnus angustifolia L. is often used in dry land, saline-alkali land shelter forest, and landscape horticulture. It the main windbreak sand-fixing tree species Gansu Province, China. The special geographical climatic environment makes distribution growth of E. Province show different degrees difference. In order to evaluate phenotypic diversity p...

A total of 20 new indole alkaloids comprising mainly oxidized derivatives of macroline- (including alstofonidine, a macroline indole incorporating a butyrolactone ring-F), pleiocarpamine-, and sarpagine-type alkaloids were isolated from the bark and leaf extracts of Alstonia angustifolia. The structures and relative configurations of these alkaloids were determined using NMR and MS analyses and...

In this study, Russian olive trees exhibiting witches’-broom symptoms were collected from urban green areas in Tabriz, the northwest of Iran. PCR analysis confirmed that phytoplasma caused disease and, according to resulting Sanger sequencing electropherogram, a mixed infection with two or more species within was revealed. Next-generation analyses, using Illumina method, performed on total DNA ...
