A 12-yr study of fungi associated with Cannabis has revealed that many taxa cited in the Cannabis literature are based on misdeterminations or synonyms of species with wide host ranges (McPartland, 1992, 1994b, 1995b). New species have been discovered – Phomopsis ganjae (McPartland, 1983), Schiffnerula cannabis (McPartland&Hughes, 1994a), Fusicoccum marconii, Leptodothiorella marconii (McPartla...

The aim of this work was to study the phytochemical and antifungal activity of anthraquinones and root and leaf extracts of Coccoloba mollis on phytopathogens. The chemical analysis of ethanolic extracts showed a mixture of long-chain hydrocarbons, carboxyl esters and 3-taraxerone in the leaf extract. Two anthraquinones (emodin and physcion) were isolated and identified from the root extract. P...
