calamus tenuis/nicotine

Several microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) that can serve as potential chemical markers for microbial contamination in tobacco have been identified. Four different fungal species, Aspergillus niger (AN), A. ornatus (AO), Pencillium chrysogenum (PC) and Rhizopus stolonifer (RS), commonly

Antibodies were raised in rabbits against 2Fe-2S ferredoxin from N. tabacum L. The antibodies showed partial cross-reactivity in the double diffusion test with ferredoxins from Spinacia oleracea L., Petunia inflata Fries., P. axillaris Lam., Phaseolus vulgaris L., Chlamydomonas remhardii Dang. A

Transmitting tissue-specific proteins (TTS proteins) are abundant in the extracellular matrix of Nicotiana pistils, and vital for optimal pollen tube growth and seed set. We have identified orthologs from several species in the Solanaceae, including Petuniaaxillaris axillaris

Effect of the essential oil of Acorus calamus L. rhizomes, was studied on hemocytes of the tobacco armyworm, Spodoptera litura. The oil was administered in oral application at concentration of 500 and 1000 ppm to last instar larvae of S. litura and its effect on ultrastructure of hemocytes and

Phloem loading in Coleus blumei Benth. leaves cannot be explained by carrier-mediated transport of export sugar from the apoplast into the sieve element-companion cell complex, the mechanism by which sucrose is thought to load in other species that have been studied in detail. Uptake profiles of the

The nonchlorophyllous (albino) tissue of mature C. blumei leaves is a sink for photoassimilate. Transport from the green to the albino region of the same leaf was inhibited by cold and anoxia. When the green tissue of mature leaves was removed, the remaining albino portion imported labeled

Summary Taxonomic relationship: A member of nonsegmented, negative-sense, single-stranded RNA viruses of the genus Cytorhabdovirus (type member: Lettuce necrotic yellows virus), family Rhabdoviridae, order Mononegavirales. Members of the family Rhabdoviridae can infect vertebrates, invertebrates and

Hybridization of Petunia axillaris and P. parodii with Nicotiana tabacum was attempted using the method of in vitro pollination and fertilization. Seedlings were produced when the Petunia species and N. tabacum were used as the maternal parents; however, most of these had the identical somatic

Leaf discs and detached leaves exposed to l-cysteine emitted a volatile sulfur compound which was proven by gas chromatography to be H(2)S. This phenomenon was demonstrated in all nine species tested (Cucumis sativus, Cucurbita pepo, Nicotiana tabacum, Coleus blumei, Beta vulgaris, Phaseolus

CONCLUSIONS This review presents the role of strigolactone transport in regulating plant root and shoot architecture, plant-fungal symbiosis and the crosstalk with several phytohormone pathways. The authors, based on their data and recently published results, suggest that long-distance, as well

The toxicity of atmospheric-pressure pulsed plasma on plant leaf tissues is studied. A nanosecond-pulsed plasma jet is applied to Arabidopsis thaliana leaves. In case of cotyledon, cell death is induced by treatment of only a few seconds. Cell death is also induced in the adult leaf by only 5
