Parthenin was extracted from Parthenium hysterophorus L. leaves growing in northern part of India, and its effect was tested on the seed germination parameters and other related characteristics of Ageratum conyzoides L. weed. Parthenin proved phytotoxic to A. conyzoides as most of the studied parameters were inhibited. It may lead to a possible biological eradication of the A. cpnyzoides weed.

BACKGROUND: Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with lower electric cost and the specific wavelength have been considering as a novel light source for plant production in greenhouse conditions as well as in a closed culture system. Supplementary lighting for day-length extension was considered as light intensity, light quality, and/or photoperiod control on plant growth and development. Effects of supplementary blue or red LED radiation with lower light intensity on growth of Ageratum (Ageratum houstonianum Mill., cv. Blue Field), African marigold (Tagetes erecta L., cv. Orange Boy), and Salvia (Salvia splendens F. Sello ex Ruem & Schult., cv. Red Vista) were discussed during sunrise and sunset twilight in the experiment. METHODS AND RESULTS: Supplementary lighting by blue and red LEDs for 30 (Treatment B30; R30) or 60 (Treatment B60; R60) min. per day were established in greenhouse conditions. Photosynthetic photon flux for supplementary radiation was kept at $15{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ on the culture bed. Natural condition without supplementary light was considered as a control. The highest shoot and root dry weights were shown in African marigold exposed by red light for 60 min. per day. Supplementary blue and red lighting regardless of the radiation time significantly stimulated development of lateral branches in African marigold. Stem growth in Ageratum and Salvia seedlings was significantly promoted by red radiation as well as natural light. CONCLUSIONS: Extending of the radiation time at sunrise and sunset twilight using LEDs stimulated reproductive growth of flowering plant species. Different characteristics on growth under supplementary blue or red lighting conditions were also observed in the seedlings during supplementary radiation.

서양등골나물은 우리나라에서 생태계 교란 생물로 지정된 외래 침입종이다. 북아메리카 동부지역이 원산지인 이 외래 식물에 대해 각각 2개의 학명(Eupatorium rugosum Houtt., Ageratina altissima (L.) R. M. King & H. Rob.)과 국명(서양등골나물 및 미국등골나물)이 혼용되고 있어 분류학적 혼란을 초래하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 이들의 분류학적 실체와 내력을 밝혀 분류학적 혼란을 해결하고자 하였다. 조사 결과, 미국등골나물과 서양등골나물은 동일한 분류군으로서 린네가 Species Plantarum에 Ageratum altissimum으로 처음 기재한 종이다. 이 종은 Eupatorium속으로 전이되어 대체명이 공표되고 이후 Ageratina속으로 전이되었다. 즉, Eupatorium속에서는 전혀 다른 기준표본에 근거해 이미 존재하였던 E. altissimum L. 때문에 대체명으로 E. rugosum이 공표되었고, Ageratina속에서는 종소명 'altissima'를 사용하고 있던 종이 없었기 때문에 원명에 근거해 A. altissima의 학명이 공표되었다. 이러한 과정에서 발표된 이름들이 국내에서는 서로 다른 분류군으로 인식되면서 분류학적 혼란이 야기된 것으로 사료된다. 형태 및 분자 형질을 분석한 연구 결과에 근거해 서양등골나물의 정명은 A. altissima이다.

Botanicals have been regarded as sustainable solution of pest control because of their nominal effect on nontarget pest, biodegradability and other environment friendly properties. However, study on impact of botanicals against beneficial insects is less. In this investigation effort has been made to study the effect of essential oils of Ocimum sanctum, Ocimum gratissimum and Ageratum conyzoides against non-mulberry silkworm Antheraea assama in terms of percent mortality, total haemocyte count (THC) and phenol oxidase (PO) enzyme activity. After application of essential oil of the plants by contact residual film technique, age dependent decrease of percent mortality was recorded. Topical treatment of oil at higher dosages ($1{\mu}lg^{-1}$ and $0.5{\mu}lg^{-1}$) caused 100% mortality of late instar larvae at 24 hour but the lowest dose ($0.25{\mu}lg^{-1}$) did not cause any mortality till 48 hour of treatment. Initial increase of total haemocyte count (THC) was recorded at early hours of treatment (0.25 hour) at all dosages (1, 0.5, $0.25{\mu}lg^{-1}$) after topical treatment. A dose dependent increase was observed in phenol oxidase enzyme activity and this might indicate ability of the essential oils to cause induction of immune response in Antheraea assama larvae.

Diseases caused by Pepper yellow leaf curl virus infection is considered to be emerging plant diseases in Indonesia in the last five years. One key factor for disease management is the availability of accurate detection of the virus in plants. Polyclonal antibody for Pepper yellow leaf curl Indonesia virus-Bogor (PYLCIV-Bgr) was produced for detection of the virus using I-ELISA and DIBA methods. The antibody was able to detect PYLCIV-Bgr from infected plants up to dilution 1/16,384 and cross reaction was not observed with Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), and Chilli veinal mottle virus (ChiVMV). Positive reaction was readily detected in membrane containing Begomovirus samples from Yogyakarta (Kaliurang and Kulonprogo) and West Java (Bogor and Segunung). Infection of PYLCIV-Bgr in chillipepper, tomato, and Ageratum conyzoides was also confirmed using polyclonal antibody for PYLCIV-Bgr in DIBA. Polyclonal antibody for PYLCIV-Bgr is suggested to be included in disease management approach due to its good detection level.

P-gp plays a critical role in drug disposition and represents a mechanism for the development of multidrug resistance. Flavonoids, a major class of natural compounds widely present in foods and herbal products, have been shown to inhibit P-gp. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify new candidate chemosensitizers by screening various plant extracts. The ability of natural plant extracts to inhibit P-gp activity was assessed by measuring cellular accumulation of calcein AM, daunorubicin and vincristine in P-gp overexpressing MDCKII-MDR1 cells. Among more than 800 plant extracts, eight were found to inhibit P-gp activity. Curcuma aromatica extract produced greatest inhibition, followed by Curcuma longa and Dalbergia odorifera extracts. Extracts of Aloe ferox, Curcuma zedoariae rhizome, Zanthoxylum planispinum, and Ageratum conyzoides showed moderate inhibitory effects. Curcumin and quercetin exhibited similar inhibition of P-gpmediated efflux of daunorubicin and vincristine, and flavones had a lesser effect. When chemosensitizing effect was evaluated by measuring daunorubicin sensitivity to MDCKII-MDR1 cells in the presence of natural plant extracts, Curcuma aromatica showed the most potent chemosensitizing effect based on daunorubicin cytotoxicity. In conclusion, natural plant extracts such as Curcuma aromatica can potently inhibit P-gp activity and may have potential as a novel chemosensitizers.

Background: Natural forests are generally considered to be less prone to biological invasions than other modified ecosystems, particularly when canopy cover is high. Few decades of management of degraded forests by local communities in Nepal has increased canopy cover and altered disturbance regimes. These changes might have reduced the abundance of invasive alien plant species (IAPS) in forests. To understand the status of IAPS in such forests, we studied two community managed Shorea robusta forests (Sundari and Dhusheri) of Nawalpur district in central Nepal. In these two forests, vegetation sampling was done using circular plots 10 m radius at forest edge, gaps, and within canopy. Variation of IAPS richness and cover across these microhabitats were compared, and their variation with tree canopy cover and basal area analyzed. Result: Altogether 14 IAPS were recorded in the study forests; among them Chromolaena odorata, Ageratum houstonianum, and Lantana camara had the highest frequency. Mikania micrantha was at the early stage of colonization in Sundari Community Forest (CF) but absent in Dhuseri CF. Both IAPS cover and richness was higher at forest edge and gap than in canopy plots and both these attributes declined with increasing canopy cover and tree basal area. Conclusion: The results indicate that increase in canopy cover and closure of forest gaps through participatory management of degraded forests can prevent plant invasions and suppress the growth of previously established IAPS in Shorea robusta forests of Nepal. This is the unacknowledged benefit of participatory forest management in Nepal.

32종의 해안식물(주로 염생식물)에 대한 유리아미노산 및 총질소함량을 조사하였다. 몇몇 종(참골무꽃과 해란초)을 제외한 모든 식물체는 Pro을 함유하였으나, 번행초, 등골나물아재비 및 갯무에서만, 높은 함량을 나타내어, 이들 식물에서 Pro은 세포질성 삼투물질로 작용하는 것으로 생각된다. 그러나 등대풀, 갯무, 갯방풍, 갯기름나물, 통보리사초, 왕잔디, 갯잔디 등의 식물은 Pro 보다는 hydroxylproline (OH-Pro)을 상당량 축적하였다. 총 아미노산은 갯개미취, 갯질경, 해란초, 순비기나무 및 특히 명아주과와 돌나물과 식물에서 낮은 값을 보였다. 또한 번행초, 등대풀, 갯무, 명아주과 및 콩과 식물은 보편적으로 총 질소 및 수용성 질소함량이 높았으나, 참골무꽃, 해란초, 순비기나무, 통보리사초 및 벼과 식물은 낮은 수준의 질소함량을 보였다. 대부분의 해안식물에서 유리아미노산은 총질소함량에 차지하는 비율이 낮았지만, 등대풀, 모래지치 및 둥근바위솔의 경우 아미노산 질소가 총질소함량의 25∼30%를 차지하였다. 결론적으로, 몇몇 예외는 있지만 세포질성 삼투물질로 널리 알려진 Pro은 조사된 해안식물의 유리아미노산 풀(pool)에서 유의한 몫을 차지하지 않는 것으로 여겨진다.
