Abstract Systena frontalis (F.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is a serious insect pest species of container ornamental plant nurseries, widespread in the central and eastern United States. Adults feeding causes shotholes skeletonization to foliage affected plants, which can reduce aesthetic value, marketability plants. This paper reviews biology current management approaches used against S. nurse...

We developed a HPLC/MS method for the identification and determination of solanine in plants. This method was applied for samples of Solanum dulcamara (from Iaşi and Vânători Neamţ areas in Romania) and Physalis alkekengi (from Bucium and Breazu, Iaşi, Romania) during August-September 2009. Isolation of solanine was performed by extraction with a mixture consisting of water/methanol/acetic acid...

Several plants are used for their decorative effect during winter holidays. This review explores the toxic reputation and proposed management for exposures to several of those, namely poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima), English holly (Ilex aquifolium), American holly (Ilex opaca), bittersweet (Solanum dulcamara), Jerusalem cherry (Solanum pseudocapsicum), American mistletoe (Phoradendron seroti...

Antibacterial activity of various parts (stem, leaf and fruits) of solvent extracts (Petroleum ether, alcohol and acetone) of Solanum xanthocarpum against Escherichia coil, Klebsiella of Solanum xanthocarpum showed high sensitivity to Escherichia coil & less sensitivity and resistance to Bacillus cereus. In control, no inhibitory zone was observed.

Comparative transcriptomics between species can provide valuable understanding of plant-pathogen interactions. Here, we focus on wild Solanum species and potato clones with varying degree of resistance against Phytophthora infestans, which causes the devastating late blight disease in potato. The transcriptomes of three wild Solanum species native to Southern Sweden, Solanum dulcamara, Solanum ...

Abstract. The interval-valued prime fuzzy ideals (in brevity, the iv. prime fuzzy ideals) of a semigroup have been recently studied by Kar, Sarkar and Shum [18]. As a continued study of i-v fuzzy ideals, we are going to investigate the properties of i-v fuzzy quasi-ideal and i-v fuzzy bi-ideal of a semiring and then we characterize the regularity and intra-regularity of a semiring in terms of t...

The large and economically important genus Solanum contains ca. 1,400 species distributed worldwide. One of the 12–14 major clades identified in the genus is the Leptostemonum clade, or the “spiny solanums.” Previous molecular phylogenetic studies have identified 14 major clades in the spiny solanums. Among these is the Carolinense clade, which contains Solanum carolinense, the type species of ...

AIM Garden egg (Solanum aethiopium) is an edible fruits vegetable with  different species.This study investigated characterisation and the effect of the phenolics extracts from S. aethiopium species with enzymes linked with type -2-diabetes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase) and hypertension [Angiotensin-1-converting enzyme (ACE)]. METHODS Fresh samples of the 5 species of the garden egg namely, [...

the methanolic extract of whole plants of solanum nigrum l. was investigated for anti-inflammatory activity on the experimental animal models. the methanolic extract at a concentration of 100 mg.kg-1 and 200 mg.kg-1, p.o. showed the significant dose dependent anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenin and egg white induced hind paw oedema in rats. anti-inflammatory activity of the tested extract...

Tomato, Solanum lycopersicum, is divided into two widely distributed varieties: the cultivated S. lycopersicum var. lycopersicum, and the weedy S. lycopersicum var. cerasiforme. Solanum pimpinellifolium is the most closely related wild species of tomato.The roles of S. pimpinellifolium and S. l. cerasiforme during the domestication of tomato are still under debate. Some authors consider S. l. c...
