Root growth of Cucumis and Avena seedlings is inhibited by volatile materials produced by leaves of Salvia leucophylla, S. apiana, and Artemisia californica. The toxic substance may be deposited when dew condenses on affected seedlings in the field.

Four prostaglandin-like fatty acid derivatives anomalone A-D (1-4) were isolated from the aerial part of Artemisia anomala S. Moore. Their structures were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analyses.

The Mutagenic Effects of Environmental Radon Gas Radiation on the Tanshinone Related Metabolites in Artemisia Absinthium

Plant roots interact with a wide variety of rhizospheric microorganisms, including bacteria and the symbiontic arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. The mycorrhizal symbiosis represents a series of complex feedbacks between plant and fungus regulated by their physiology and nutrition. Despite the widespread distribution and ecological significance of AM symbiosis, little is known about the potenti...

Physiological effect of five levels of water stress (0,-0.3,-6,-9 and -1.2MP) was studied on seed germination and tigella as well as radicule growth length in two different Artemisia species namely: Artemisia spicigera and Artemisia fragrans. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used to provide appropriate water potentials. A total of 50 seeds were sown from each Artemisia species. Experimental design...
