Drimys winteri is an evergreen tree native to Argentina and Chile. The tree in nature often reaches a height of 50 feet. The leathery, aromatic leaves have a peppery smell when crushed. The aromatic bark is used to treat certain stomach problems. (Natives recommended a tea made of the bark of this plant to cure Captain Winters stomach problems, when he was on expedition for Sir Francis Drake. The tea of this newly discovered plant cured his ailment, hence the name.) Drimys has an unusually simple carpel structure and primitively vesselless wood, which gained the plant considerable notoriety in the 1950s. Currently, it is no longer considered to be so primitive as before. Blooming Time: Late Winter-Mid Spring. Flowers are 1 inch across, white with yellow centers. They are borne in clusters at the tip of branches and are mildly fragrant. Culture: Drimys winteri grow best in full sun to light shade with intermediate temperatures. The plant should be grown in a well-drained soil (2 parts peat moss ...

Introduction. The effects of insecticides on insect physiology are based on a complex series of physical-chemical reactions that affect a particular species (Romanyk and Cadahía, 2002). Due to their ease of use and availability in the market, synthetic insecticides have been the principal tool used by farmers to control pests. Their indiscriminate use has resulted in adverse environmental effects, including the appearance of resistance to these chemical agents and the destruction of natural control mechanisms, in addition to their high toxicity to humans (Silva et al., 2006; Devine et al., 2008; López et al., 2008; Siriwong et al., 2009). As a result, the search for alternative and/or complementary pest control methods has increased in recent years. One alternative is the use of plant species that have developed defense mechanisms through their interaction with herbivorous insects as a result of coevolution over thousands of years (Wink, 2003). Certain plants synthesize a wide range of ...

There are 98 described genera of Gracillariidae (see below). A complete checklist is available of all currently recognised species (de Prins and de Prins 2005). There are many undescribed species in the tropics but there is also an online catalogue of Afrotropical described species [1]; the South African fauna is quite well known. Although Japanese and Russian authors have recognised additional subfamilies (de Prins and de Prins, 2005), there are three currently recognised subfamilies, Phyllocnistinae of which is likely to be basal. In this subfamily, the primitive genus Prophyllocnistis from Chile feeds on the plant genus Drimys (Winteraceae), and has leaf mines structurally similar in structure to fossils (Davis, 1994) (see Fossils). While there have been some recent DNA sequence-based studies of Palaearctic species (Lopez-Vaamonde et al., 2003, 2006), there is need for a satisfactory modern global phylogenetic framework for the subfamilies of Gracillaridae. Some genera are very large, e.g. ...

A novel spirocyclic drimane coupled by two drimane fragment building blocks 2 and a new drimane 1 were identified in mycelia and culture broth of Stachybotrys sp. MF347. Their structures were established by spectroscopic means. This is the first example of spirocyclic drimane coupled by a spirodihydrobenzofuranlactam unit and a spirodihydroisobenzofuran unit; and the connecting position being N-C instead of an N and N connecting unit. Strain MF347 produced also the known spirocyclic drimanes stachybocin A (12) and stachybocin B (11) featured by two sesquiterpene-spirobenzofuran structural units connected by a lysine residue; the known spirocyclic drimanes chartarlactam O (5); chartarlactam K (6); F1839A (7); stachybotrylactam (8); stachybotramide (9); and 2α-acetoxystachybotrylactam acetate (10); as well as ilicicolin B (13), a known sesquiterpene. The relative configuration of two known spirobenzofuranlactams (3 and 4) was determined. All compounds were subjected to biological activity tests. The

Tomato crops can be affected by several infectious diseases produced by bacteria, fungi, and oomycetes. Four phytopathogens are of special concern because of the major economic losses they generate worldwide in tomato production; Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, causative agents behind two highly destructive diseases, bacterial canker and bacterial speck, respectively; fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici that causes Fusarium Wilt, which strongly affects tomato crops; and finally, Phytophthora spp., which affect both potato and tomato crops. Polygodial (1), drimenol (2), isonordrimenone (3), and nordrimenone (4) were studied against these four phytopathogenic microorganisms. Among them, compound 1, obtained from Drimys winteri Forst, and synthetic compound 4 are shown here to have potent activity. Most promisingly, the results showed that compounds 1 and 4 affect Clavibacter michiganensis growth at minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) values

Although a rather large tree, Tulip-Poplar could be used along residential streets with very large lots and plenty of soil for root growth if set back 10 or 15 feet. Not generally planted in large numbers and probably best for a specimen or for lining commercial entrances with lots of soil space. Trees can be planted from containers at any time in the south but transplanting from a field nursery should be done in spring, followed by faithful watering. Plants prefer well-drained, acid soil. Drought conditions in summer can cause premature defoliation of interior leaves which turn bright yellow and fall to the ground, especially on newly-transplanted trees. The tree may be short-lived in parts of USDA hardiness zone 9, although there are a number of young specimens about two feet in diameter in the southern part of USDA hardiness zone 8b. It is usually recommended only for moist sites in many parts of Texas, including Dallas, but has grown in an open area with plenty of soil space for root ...

The Wettstein system, latest version published in 1935, did not use this name although it had an order with a similar circumscription with the name Polycarpicae. This was placed in the Dialypetalae in subclass Choripetalae of class Dicotyledones. (See also Sympetalae). From the above it will be clear that the plants included in this order by APG have always been seen as related. They have always been placed in the order Magnoliales (or a predecessor). The difference is that earlier systems have also included other plants, which have been moved to neighbouring orders (in the magnoliids) by APG. ...

Field-grown yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) werefumigated from May to October in 1992-96 within open-topchambers to determine the impact of ozone (O3) aloneor combined with elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) on saplinggrowth. Treatments were replicated three times and included: charcoal-filteredair (CF); 1 × ambient ozone (1 × O3);1·5 × ambient ozone (1·5 × O3);1·5 × ambient ozone plus 350 p.p.m.carbon dioxide (1·5 × O3 + CO2)(target of 700 p.p.m. CO2); and open-air chamberlessplot (OA). After five seasons, the total cumulative O3 exposure (SUM00 = sumof hourly O3 concentrations during the study) rangedfrom 145 (CF) to 861 (1·5 × O3) p.p.m. × h (partsper million hour). Ozone had no statistically significant effecton yellow-poplar growth or biomass, even though total root biomasswas reduced by 13% in the 1·5 × O3-exposedsaplings relative to CF controls. Although exposure to 1·5 × O3 + CO2 hada stimulatory effect on yearly basal area growth increment aftertwo seasons, ...

Other magnoliids also are known for their narcotic, hallucinogenic, or paralytic properties. The Polynesian beverage kava is prepared from the pulverized roots of Piper methysticum, and has both sedative and narcotic properties.[14] It is used throughout the Pacific in social gatherings or after work to relax. Likewise, some native peoples of the Amazon take a hallucinogenic snuff made from the dried and powdered fluid exuded from the bark of Virola trees.[7] Another hallucinogenic compound, myristicin, comes from the spice nutmeg.[19] As with safrole, ingestion of nutmeg in quantities can lead to hallucinations, nausea, and vomiting, with symptoms lasting several days.[20] A more severe reaction comes from poisoning by rodiasine and demethylrodiasine, the active ingredients in fruit extract from Chlorocardium venenosum. These chemicals paralyze muscles and nerves, resulting in tetanus-like reactions in animals. The Cofán peoples of westernmost Amazon in Colombia and Ecuador use the compound as ...

This is a smaller tree than our native Liriodendron tulipifera, very rare and mostly subtropical in China. The hardiest forms from the northernmost colonies can survive in southern Michigan, but it is exceedingly rare in cultivation. But while it is fun to see the first flowers, compared to our native, they are less attractive. The flowers lack the orange flare on the petals, and they are smaller and duller. Thats not a big deal -- nobody really grows tulip trees just for their flowers since they are borne high in the tree, and when the leaves are fully expanded. But the Chinese species does have much larger, more strikingly cleft, leaves which are often purplish tinged when expanding. And besides, you could ask the same question of stamp collectors who treasure the rare misprinted stamps, like ones with the image upside down. They are very rare and so is the Chinese tulip tree. Besides, it is amazing to think of how similar the two species are despite having been separated for many millions of ...

Tulipwood (Liriodendron Tulipifera) is a North American Hardwood, also known as Tulip Poplar although not related to Poplar. Tulipwood is a utility wood in nearly every sense. Its used for painted kitchens, pallets, crates, upholstered furniture frames, and plywood. Poplar veneer is also used for a variety of applications: either dyed in various colours, or on hidden undersides of veneered panels to counteract the pull of the glue on an exposed side that has been veneered with another, more decorative wood species.. ...

Veins (sometimes referred to as nerves) constitute one of the more visible leaf traits or characteristics. The veins in a leaf represent the vascular structure of the organ, extending into the leaf via the petiole and provide transportation of water and nutrients between leaf and stem, and play a crucial role in the maintenance of leaf water status and photosynthetic capacity.They also play a role in the mechanical support of the leaf.[20][21] Within the lamina of the leaf, while some vascular plants possess only a single vein, in most this vasculature generally divides (ramifies) according to a variety of patterns (venation) and form cylindrical bundles, usually lying in the median plane of the mesophyll, between the two layers of epidermis.[22] This pattern is often specific to taxa, and of which angiosperms possess two main types, parallel and reticulate (net like). In general, parallel venation is typical of monocots, while reticulate is more typical of eudicots and magnoliids (dicots), ...
