| biological and molecular characterization of a novel carmovirus isolated from angelonia. | abstract a new carmovirus was isolated from angelonia plants (angelonia angustifolia), with flower break and mild foliar symptoms, grown in the united states and israel. the virus, for which the name angelonia flower break virus (anfbv) is proposed, has isometric particles, approximately 30 nm in diameter. the experimental host range was limited to nicotiana species, schizanthus pinnatus, myosotis sylvatica, phlox drummondii, and digitalis purpurea. virions were isolated from systemically infect ... | 2006 | 18944305 |
| negative effects of heterospecific pollen receipt vary with abiotic conditions: ecological and evolutionary implications. | studies that have evaluated the effects of heterospecific pollen (hp) receipt on plant reproductive success have generally overlooked the variability of the natural abiotic environment in which plants grow. variability in abiotic conditions, such as light and water availability, has the potential to affect pollen-stigma interactions (i.e. conspecific pollen germination and performance), which will probably influence the effects of hp receipt. thus, a more complete understanding of the extent, st ... | 2015 | 26199385 |
| chemical investigation of the medicinal and ornamental plant angelonia angustifolia benth. reveals therapeutic quantities of lupeol. | angelonia angustifolia benth. is a small herbaceous plant with documented use as an anti-inflammatory remedy by indigenous cultures in latin america. it has subsequently been developed as an ornamental annual widely available in nurseries in the united states. chemical investigation led to the discovery that lupeol is the major organic soluble constituent in the roots, and is present in large quantities in the aerial structures of the plant. lupeol was identified by 1d and 2d nmr spectroscopic t ... | 2014 | 25111011 |
