a review of the species of mesopolobus (chalcidoidea: pteromalidae) associated with ceutorhynchus (coleoptera: curculionidae) host-species of european origin.	four species of mesopolobus westwood were reared as parasitoids of ceutorhynchinae hosts in europe during surveys in 2000-2004. an illustrated key is given to differentiate the four species, m. gemellus baur & muller sp. n., m. incultus (walker), m. morys (walker) and m. trasullus (walker), plus m. moryoides gibson, a parasitoid of the cabbage seedpod weevil, ceutorhynchus obstrictus (marsham), in north america. pteromalus clavicornis walker is recognized as a junior synonym of m. incultus syn. ...	2007	17645820
genetic diversity within and among lepidium draba populations from eastern anatolia based on rapd analysis.	genetic variation and structure of six natural populations of lepidium draba l. from eastern anatolia were assessed using random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) markers. for rapd analysis, 12 primers generated 218 reproducible bands across the six populations analyzed, of which 73 bands (33.3%) were polymorphic. the mean nei's gene diversity value for all six populations was 0.1771. shannon's information index varied with population (0.2278-0.3082), averaging 0.2608. analysis of molecular varia ...	2010	20496111
phytotoxical effect of lepidium draba l. extracts on the germination and growth of monocot (zea mays l.) and dicot (amaranthus retroflexus l.) seeds.	laboratory experiments were performed to determine phytotoxic potentials of white top (lepidium draba) methanol extracts (root, stem and leaf) on germination and early growth of corn (zea mays) and redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus). furthermore, the effects of different methanol extracts of l. draba on the phytohormone (indole-3-acetic acid (iaa), gibberellic acid (ga), abscisic acid (aba) and zeatin) levels of corn and redroot pigweed were investigated. it was observed that all concentra ...	2015	23293131
high-quality draft genome sequence of an endophytic pseudomonas viridiflava strain with herbicidal properties against its host, the weed lepidium draba l.	here, we report the draft genome sequence of pseudomonas viridiflava strain cdrtc14 a pectinolytic bacterium showing herbicidal activity, isolated from the root of lepidium draba l. growing as a weed in an austrian vineyard. the availability of this genome sequence allows us to investigate the genetic basis of plant-microbe interactions.	2016	27795282
