Euonymus spp. (L.) are some of the most important ornamental plants. Fungal plant pathogens of ornamental plants are the most important factors causing damage. In this research two pathogenic fungal species were isolated from naturally infected Euonymus species and identified. In order to isolation of fungi from disease tissues, the obtained samples were cultured on potato dextrose agar medium....

Development, survivorship, longevity, reproduction, and life table parameters of the glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar), were examined in the laboratory using three host plants, sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), Chrysanthemum morifolium L., and euonymus (Euonymus japonica Thurb.). Females deposited similar-sized egg masses on all three plants. Hatching was highest with...

Az Amphipyra cinnamomea (Goeze, 1781) ponto-mediterrán elterjedésű bagolylepkefaj. Életmódja kevéssé ismert, és a rendelkezésre álló adatok esetenként ellentmondásosak. Élőhelyei mezotermofilek, vagy melegek szárazak. Hernyójának fő tápnövényei nyár- (Populus spp.), szil- (Ulmus lonc- (Lonicera spp.) kecskerágófajok (Euonymus spp.). imágók januártól márciusig júliustól novemberig decemberig rep...

Freeze-induced cell tensions were determined by cell water relations in leaves of broadleaf evergreen species and cell cultures of grapes (Vitis spp.) and apple (Malus domestica). Cell tensions increased in response to cold acclimation in leaves of broadleaf evergreen species during extracellular freezing, indicating a higher resistance to cell volume changes during freezing in cold-hardened le...

An empirical 2-hit hypothesis is presented to account for premature and unilateral ripening in Euonymus alatus.

Paclobutrazol (PBZ) is one of the most important triazole compounds. This compound increases plant tolerance to environmental stresses. A study aimed to investigate the effects of PBZ on morphological and biochemical traits of euonymus (Euonymus japonicas) exposed to NaCl stress. Plants were treated with three levels of PBZ (0, 500 and 1000 mg L-1) and four levels of NaCl (0...

The enzyme aldose (aldehyde) reductase was partially purified (142-fold) and characterized from Euonymus japonica leaves. The reductase, a dimer, had an average molecular weight of 67,000 as determined by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The enzyme was NADPH specific and reduced a broad range of substrates including aldoses, aliphatic aldehydes, and aromatic aldehydes. Maximum activity was obs...
