Abstract Due to challenges associated with lavender propagation, Texas hybrid (lavandin) growers require revised propagation information. Therefore, experiments investigated effects of media and plant growth regulators (PGR) on rooting three different lavandin (Lavandula x intermedia) cultivars. PGRs applied cuttings were naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), or indole-3-butyric (IBA) at concentrations...

The alkaloid fuyuziphine was isolated from the whole plant of Fumaria indica. It had inhibitive effect against spore germination of some plant pathogenic fungi (Collectotrichum sp., C. gloeosporioides, C. falcatum, Curvularia maculans, C. lunata, Erysiphe cichoracearum, Helminthosporium pennisetti, Oidium erysiphoides, Ustilago cynodontis, Alternaria chieranthi, A. melongenae, A. brassicicola a...

Article info: Received: 25 October 2012 Accepted: 21 December 2012 ABSTRACT A rapid and accurate TLC-densitometry method for qualitative and quantitative determination of protopine has been developed. The best separation was achieved using a mobile phase chloroform – ethyl acetate – methanol – ammonium hydroxide (80:80:40:0.05, v/v/v/v). The results obtained by this method (CV% 3.4) corresponde...
