Neste estudo investigou-se o papel de uma doença fúngica (Puccinia mikaniae H. S. Jacks. & Holw) na produção e acumulação cumarina em Mikania glomerata Spreng. (Asteraceae). Conhecida como “guaco”, esta planta é nativa do Brasil suas folhas são utilizadas no tratamento desordens respiratórias, sendo a seu marcador químico. Avaliou-se teor deste amostras obtidas diferentes M. saudáveis ou es...

The article describes a new hybrid namely Gypsophila × moldavica Pînzaru (G. glomerata G. collina), formed under ex situ conditions, in the author's private garden. Arguments have been brought to support claim of recognizing species Adams and it is considered appropriate synonymize pallasii Ikonn.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Current agricultural practices are based on growing monocultures or binary mixtures over large areas, with a resultant impoverishing effect on biodiversity at several trophic levels. The effects of increasing the biodiversity of a sward mixture on dry matter yield and unsown species invasion were studied. METHODS A field experiment involving four grassland species [two gra...

A nineteen year trial at Lake Tekapo compared the longer term trends of over-drilling legume and grasses into either previous undeveloped tussock country or following a previous legume phase. Tall oat grass (from summer sowing) and cocksfoot (from spring sowing) were the most successful of the sown grasses. They remained a low proportion of the swards but greater with prior herbicide treatment,...

The current study is on the the use of macro-algae as feedstock for biogas production. Three types of macro-algae, Cladophora glomerata (CG), Chara fragilis (CF), and Spirogyra neglecta (SN), were chosen for this research. The experimental studies on biogas production were carried out with these algae in a batch bioreactor. In the bioreactor was maintained 35 ± 1°C temperature. The results show...

Phoma black stem and leaf spot disease (Phoma medicaginis) not only destroys annual Medicago spp. forage seed yield but also reduces herbage quality by consequent phytoestrogen production that ovulation of grazing animals. Two controlled environment studies evaluated the effects plant developmental stage in rugosa ‘Paraponto’ M. scutellata ‘Sava’ different inoculum concentrations P. medicaginis...

Previously, flaviolin was isolated from the blackish culture solution of Phoma wasabiae [1]. In continuation of the study on the metabolites of this mold, we have now isolated 2-hydroxy-6-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-l,4-benzoquinone. This benzoquinone was already synthesized [2], but has not been found as a natural product. In this paper we wish to report on the isolation of the above quinone from the...

Cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L.) is an important cool season grass species in the moderate climate of Iran. In order to evaluate the yield and quality traits, an experiment was conducted in irrigation conditions using 36 accessions of Dactylis glomerata using a randomized complete block design with three replications in Islamabad, Kermanshah province, Iran in 2010. Characters such as forage dr...
