The generic name Dichodon (Bartl. ex Rchb.) Rchb. was previously reinstated based on results from recent molecular phylogenetic studies. Accordingly, Dichodon parvipetalum (Hosok.) G. Yao, a new combination for the species Cerastium parvipetalum Hosok. is proposed.

ABSTRACT A series of laboratory tests were conducted to investigate potential effects of fungus gnat (Bradysia impatiens) feeding damage on susceptibility of geranium seedlings (Pelargonium x hortorum) to infection by the root rot pathogen Pythium aphanidermatum. Effects were compared with those from similar tests in which the seedlings were mechanically wounded by severing the root tip with a ...

This long-term study demonstrates for the first time that it is possible to propagate embryogenic cultures in pelargoniums and to subsequently initiate the differentiation of embryos using the cultivar Madame Layal (Pelargonium x domesticum). Propagation of callus was only possible with combinations of 2,4dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 6benzylaminopurine (BAP), which gave rise to embryo...

Two small viral proteins (DGBp1 and DGBp2) have been proposed to act in a concerted manner to aid intra- and intercellular trafficking of carmoviruses though the distribution of functions and mode of action of each protein partner are not yet clear. Here we have confirmed the requirement of the DGBps of Pelargonium flower break virus (PFBV), p7 and p12, for pathogen movement. Studies focused on...

Acute tonsillopharyngitis (ATP) in children is an actual and not fully solved problem, which has interdisciplinary importance requires optimization of diagnosis treatment to improve the prognosis disease quality life children. Purpose - optimize tactics with ATP by supplementing complex therapy drugs anti-inflammatory immunomodulatory action evaluation clinical immunological markers effectivene...

the effects of two iranian medicinal plants including zataria multiflora and geranium pelargoniumwere evaluated on growth-inhibiting of some toxigenic fungi such as aspergillus flavus, a. parasiticus, a.ochraceus and fusarium verticillioides. in this study, standard z. multiflora and g. pelargonium essentialoils (eos) were diluted in 0.01% dimethyl sulfoxide. different dilutions of z. multiflor...

in this work the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of pelargonium roseum leaves essential oil that grown in southwest of iran were determined. the hydrodistilled volatile components were identified by gc/ms analysis. a total of 33 components have been identified in the oil, representing 99.38% of the total oil and citronellol (44.63%), citronellyl formate (14.22%), isomenthon (6.3...
