First report of alstroemeria mosaic virus infecting Alstroemeria in Korea.

Alstroemeria, a member of the Alstroemriaceae family, is a popular cut flower plant with a long-base life and a wide variety of flower colors. It is widely cultivated in many countries, especially in Central and South America. However, numerous viruses such as alstroemeria carlavirus (AlCV), alstroemeria mosaic virus (AlMV), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), alstroemeria streak virus (AlSV), and impatiens necrotic virus (INSV) can infect Alstroemeria and significantly decrease its yield (Kim, 2020).

Metabolite and Elastase Activity Changes in Beach Rose () Fruit and Seeds at Various Stages of Ripeness.

Rose hips are the fruits of the beach rose ( To determine the optimal harvest time and to obtain the maximum functional compounds, rose hips at various stages of ripeness (immature, early, mid, and late) were harvested, and the flesh tissue and seeds were separated. The rose hip flesh showed the highest total phenolic content at the mid-ripeness stage (8.45 ± 0.

Ultrasound-assisted extraction and antioxidant activity of phenolic and flavonoid compounds and ascorbic acid from rugosa rose ( Thunb.) fruit.

The present study aimed to extract total phenolic compounds (TPC), total flavonoid compounds (TFC), and ascorbic acid (AA) from the fruit of rugosa rose ( Thunb.) by ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and to evaluate their antioxidant activities. UAE significantly increased the extract yield compared with that obtained using the conventional method.

Construction of a high-resolution linkage map of Rfd1, a restorer-of-fertility locus for cytoplasmic male sterility conferred by DCGMS cytoplasm in radish (Raphanus sativus L.) using synteny between radish and Arabidopsis genomes.

Cytoplasmic male sterility caused by Dongbu cytoplasmic and genic male-sterility (DCGMS) cytoplasm and its nuclear restorer-of-fertility locus (Rfd1) with a linked molecular marker (A137) have been reported in radish (Raphanus sativus L.). To construct a linkage map of the Rfd1 locus, linked amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were screened using bulked segregant analysis.

Comparison of the content of bioactive substances and the inhibitory effects against rat plasma oxidation of conventional and organic hot peppers (Capsicum annuum L.).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical compositions and antioxidative activities of hot pepper fruits cultivated with strict management by organic and conventional agricultural practices. The ascorbic acid content in the organically grown hot pepper (OGP) was significantly higher than that of conventionally grown hot pepper (CGP) in both green and red fruits. The content of other bioactive compounds such as flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin, quercetin) and total phenolics in OGP was typically higher than in CGP regardless of fruit color.

Anti-inflammatory activity of a water extract of Acorus calamus L. leaves on keratinocyte HaCaT cells.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Acorus calamus L., sweet flag, is a well-known medicinal plant that grows worldwide wildly along swamps, rivers, and lakes.

Aim Of The Study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of Acorus calamus leaf (ACL) extract and to explore its mechanism of action on human keratinocyte HaCaT cells.

The reference genetic linkage map for the multinational Brassica rapa genome sequencing project.

We describe the construction of a reference genetic linkage map for the Brassica A genome, which will form the backbone for anchoring sequence contigs for the Multinational Brassica rapa Genome Sequencing Project. Seventy-eight doubled haploid lines derived from anther culture of the F(1) of a cross between two diverse Chinese cabbage (B. rapa ssp.

Production of indole-3-acetic acid in the plant-beneficial strain Pseudomonas chlororaphis O6 is negatively regulated by the global sensor kinase GacS.

Certain plant growth-promoting bacteria, such as Pseudomonas fluorescens 89B61 and Bacillus pumilus SE34, secreted high levels of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in tryptophan-amended medium in stationary phase as determined by chromogenic analysis and high-performance liquid chromatography. Two other growth-promoting strains, P. chlororaphis O6 and Serratia marcescens 90-166, did not produce these high levels of IAA.
