Evidence has been obtained which is consistent with 9'-cis-neoxanthin being a major precursor of abscisic acid (ABA) in higher plants. A mild, rapid procedure was developed for the extraction and analysis of carotenoids from a range of tissues. Once purified the carotenoids were identified from

Zamia furfuracea (Zamiaceae) is native of coastal Mexico. It is a popular houseplant and easy to grow outdoors in warm climates. In November 2005, a plant of Z. furfuracea, originally from Texas, was received at the Division of Plant Industry in Gainesville, FL. The plant had numerous chlorotic

During surveys of Dichondra repens (kidneyweed, family Convolvulaceae) turfs in public gardens of the Franco-Italian Riviera from 1993 to 2003, leaf mosaic and yellow ringspot symptoms have been observed in Antibes, Menton, Nice, and Vallauris (France) and San Remo and La Mortola (Italy). Isolates

In the fall of 1998, the Division of Plant Industry (DPI) received vegetative propagations of Scutellaria longifolia (skullcap) with symptoms of foliar mosaic, chlorotic/necrotic ringspots, and wavy line patterns from a nursery in Manatee County. Flexuous particles approximately 500 nm long were

Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.), licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisher) and foxglove (Digitalis purpurea L.) were obtained with binary vector systems based on a disarmed Agrobacterium tumefaciens and on a virulent A. rhizogenes. The chimeric neomycin phosphotransferase II (NPT-II) gene

Plastid DNA (ptDNA) regions for the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubiso) (rbcL) and the beta-subunit of ATP synthase (atpB) genes of the holoparasite Lathraea clandestina L. were sequenced. These regions were obtained by cloning either a Bam HI endonuclease

The advances in molecular genetics and biotechnology in the field of medicinal plant research are discussed with focusing on the works using transgenic plants. Differentiated organ cultures and transgenic teratomas, incited by the infection with mutants of Agrobacterium Ti and Ri plasmids, were
