hosta sieboldii/nicotine

Five new benzylphenethylamine alkaloids, hostasine (1), 8-demethoxyhostasine, 8-demethoxy-10-O-methylhostasine, 10-O-methylhostasine, and 9-O-demethyl-7-O-methyllycorenine, along with 12 known compounds, were isolated from Hosta plantaginea by bioassay-guided fractionation. The structures of the new

Tobacco rattle virus from a Hosta hybrid contained one RNA1 (Ho-1) and two RNA2 species (Ho-2a, Ho-2b). Whereas Ho-1 resembles TRV Al RNA1 from Alstroemerias, Ho-2a and Ho-2b resemble TRV TpO1 RNA2 from a potato field. Ho-2a has a complete RNA2-specific sequence, whereas that of Ho2-b carries a

Hosta plantaginea (Lam.) Aschers (HPA), a species in the family Liliaceae, is an important landscaping plant and herbaceous ornamental flower. However, because the flower has only two colors, white and purple, color matching applications are extremely limited.

Hostas (Hosta spp.) are one of the most widely grown and economically important landscape perennials in the nursery industry in North America. Several viruses including Hosta virus X (HVX), Tobacco rattle virus (TRV), Tobacco ringspot virus (ToRSV), Tomato ringspot virus (TomRSV), Impatiens necrotic

Hosta fortunei (Liliaceae) is used in semishaded areas of gardens for its lavender-colored flowers produced in midsummer. In April of 2008, in a greenhouse at the University of Torino, located in Grugliasco (northern Italy), a leaf blight was observed on 15% of potted 60-day-old plants growing at

Hosta virus X (HVX) is rapidly becoming a serious pathogen of commercially important hosta plants worldwide. We report here biological and molecular characterization of a U.S. isolate of HVX, HVX-37. HVX-37 infectivity was tested in 21 hosta cultivars over three growth seasons, and three types of
