passiflora misera/nicotine

Cladosporium herbarum is a plant pathogen associated with passion fruit scab and mild diseases in pea and soybean. In this study, a peptidogalactomannan (pGM) of C. herbarum mycelium was isolated and structurally characterized, and its role in plant-fungus interactions was evaluated. C. herbarum pGM

A benzoflavone moiety (BZF) has recently been reported to be liable for many of the biological effects of the plant Passiflora incarnata Linneaus. In light of various reports mentioning the usefulness of P. incarnata in tobacco addiction, studies have been performed using four doses (1, 5, 10 and 20

Excessive long term consumption of alcohol and nicotine have serious detrimental effects upon the libido, fertility, and sperm count in male species. The present work describes the beneficial effects of a novel tri-substituted benzoflavone moiety (BZF) isolated from Passiflora incarnata Linneaus,

During March of 2004 (Alachua County) and again during February of 2006 (Highlands County), specimens of the plant Passiflora incence (passionfruit) with chlorotic symptoms were submitted to the Division of Plant Industry, Gainesville, FL for diagnosis. Cytoplasmic cylindrical inclusions seen in

Three strains of passionfruit woodiness virus, Tip Blight (PWV-TB), Severe (PWV-S) and Mild (PWV-M), were compared on the basis of their biological, serological and coat protein structural properties. Each of the strains could be distinguished on the basis of their reactions on selected test plant

Passiflora latent virus (PLV) naturally infects cultivated and wild Passiflora species in Australia, Germany, Israel and the United States (1-3). In March 2004, chlorotic lesions were observed on leaves of three vines of Passiflora tarminiana on one site in Auckland, New Zealand. Chenopodium

Brazil is one of the major passion fruit producers worldwide. Viral diseases are among the most important constraints for passion fruit production. Here we identify and characterize a new passion fruit infecting-virus belonging to the family Geminiviridae: passion fruit chlorotic mottle virus

OBJECTIVE A tri-substituted benzoflavone moiety (BZF) recently isolated from the methanol extract of aerial parts of the plant Passiflora incarnata Linneaus had exhibited encouraging results in countering the dependence produced by addiction-prone substances like morphine, nicotine, cannabinoids and

A benzoflavone moiety has been reported recently to be responsible for the multifarious CNS effects of Passiflora incarnata Linneaus. In the light of the established usefulness of the benzoflavone moiety in counteracting the withdrawal effects of substances like morphine, cannabinoids and nicotine

Bituminaria bituminosa (L.) Stirton (pitch trefoil) is a perennial legume endemic to the Mediterranean Basin used as forage in arid areas and for stabilization of degraded soils. Mosaic and chlorotic ringspot symptoms have been observed in leaves of B. bituminosa in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

The present work is a mini-review of the author's original work on the plant Passiflora incarnata Linn., which is used in several parts of the world as a traditional medicine for the management of anxiety, insomnia, epilepsy and morphine addiction. A tri-substituted benzoflavone moiety (BZF) has

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is cultivated mainly in the central region of the Departamento de San Pedro in Paraguay from October to February and the seed are exported to Asia. The crop is grown on 100,000 ha annually and Escoba blanca is the most common cultivar. The crop plays an important

The results of a prevalence study on use- and abuse- of psychoactive substances, among a population aged 12 to 45 in Paraguay are presented. Presence of the depressive syndrome as well as attitudes and beliefs related to the use of psychoactive substances were also investigated. A bilingual

The Pacific islands have a diverse range of food and cash crops with indigenous and introduced nematode problems. The staple food crops have serious nematode pests, such as Meloidogyne spp. on sweet potato, Hirschmanniella miticausa causing corm rot of taro, and Pratylenchus coffeae and Radopholus

Novel species of fungi described in the present study include the following from Australia: Vermiculariopsiella eucalypti, Mulderomyces natalis (incl. Mulderomyces gen. nov.), Fusicladium paraamoenum, Neotrimmatostroma paraexcentricum, and Pseudophloeospora eucalyptorum on leaves of Eucalyptus spp.,
