The biology of Leptoypha hospita Drake et Poor (Hemiptera: Tingidae), a potential biological control agent from China for Chinese privet, Ligustrum sinense Lour., was studied in quarantine in the United States. Both nymphs and adults feed on Chinese privet mesophyll cells that lead to a bleached appearance of leaves and dieback of branch tips. L. hospita has Þve nymphal instars with the mean du...

Phytoremediation is becoming more prevalent globally. Literature on phytoremediation strategies in western China relatively scarce. The present research sought to fill this gap by examining the effects of trace elements such as Cd, Cr, Pb, and Zn growth, physiological traits, tolerances, accumulation characteristics 2-year-old saplings Ligustrum obtusifolium. gradient element concentration was ...

The article is devoted to the introduction and acclimatization of Ligustrum vulgare L. in Middle Urals since creation collection 1960. At that time, average annual temperature was only 1°C froze, grew again fruited favorable years. It possible create an population by families, but, nevertheless, 1998 all plants died from return cold weather frosts. study growth development privet has been resum...

Background and purpose: Cytotoxic effects of Ligustrum vulgare leaves on HeLa cervical tumor cells suggested that extracts should be investigated as potential anticancer agents. Therefore, we examined a antileukemic activity methanolic fruit two types leukemia cells, MOLT-4 JVM-13, lymphocytes isolated from the blood 33 chronic lymphocytic (CLL) patients mononuclear leukocytes 18 healthy indivi...

We have been studying Rhytidhysteron Speg. species on different native trees of economic or landscape importance from geographical regions in China. In this study, we describe three new species, ligustrum X.-L. Xu & C.-L. Yang, sp. nov., R. sichuanensis subrufulum nov. and a host record for hongheense Wanas based combined ITS, LSU, SSU tef-1α phylogenetic analysis morphological characters. The ...
