rhododendron brachycarpum/necrosis

A new Phytophthora pathogen of trees and shrubs, previously informally designated Phytophthora taxon C, is formally named here as P. kernoviae. P. kernoviae was discovered in late 2003 during surveys of woodlands in Cornwall, south-west England, for the presence of another invasive pathogen, P.

Two new flavonoids, (2S)-6,8-dimethyl-5,7,3',4'-tetrahydroxyflavanone 4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) and quercetin 3-O-β-D-(6''-p-methoxybenzoyl)-galactopyranoside (2), together with ten known flavonoids (3-12) were isolated from the leaves of

In the past decade, a new Phytophthora species inducing shoot canker on Rhododendron and dieback of Viburnum has been observed in Europe, mainly in Germany and the Netherlands, and California. This new pathogen has been named Phytophthora ramorum (3). In May 2002, a diseased Viburnum plant (Viburnum

In spring 2013, pot-grown Viburnum tinus plants shipped to an ornamental nursery in Pescia (Pistoia, central Italy, 287 m a.s.l., 43°54'0″ N, 10°41'0″ E) from another local nursery were found to bear disease symptoms. Symptoms included brown to black foliar lesions, later expanding into larger

A wide range of active compounds isolated from nature is used in clinical applications and as a source of lead compounds for drug development. Rhododendron brachycarpum has been used as an oriental herbal medicine for skin inflammatory diseases. In this study, we isolated rhododendrin from

BACKGROUND Many traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) can act as either immunosuppresants or immunostimulants, properties that have lead to their increasing use as immunomodulators in the treatment of disease. Recently, our lab successfully identified a dimer epicatechin-(2β→O → 7,

High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) was recently shown to be an important extracellular mediator of systemic inflammation, and endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR) has been shown to be involved in vascular inflammation. Hyperoside is an active compound isolated from Rhododendron brachycarpum G.

An unidentified species of Phytophthora was isolated from irrigation water at a production nursery in Suffolk, VA in 2000 and 2001. Water samples were assayed using a filtration method (3). A similar species was recovered from soil samples collected in two mixed-hardwood forests in Fairfax County in

Rhododendron album Blume (RA) has traditionally been used as an herbal medicine and is considered to have anti-inflammatory properties. In the present study, we screened RA extracts with anti-inflammatory properties. The biological effects of an RA methanol extract (RAME) on inflammation were

Rhododendron album Blume (RA) has traditionally been used as an herbal medicine and is considered to have anti‑inflammatory properties. It is a well‑known medicine for treatment of allergic or atopic diseases. In the present study, the biological effects of an RA methanol extract (RAME) on

Rhododendron molle G. Don is a well-known traditional medicine which has been used to treat rheumatic inflammation. In this study, an inflammatory model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells was established to analyze the anti-inflammatory effect and potential mechanism of the

Phytophthora ramorum, the cause of sudden oak death in California and Oregon coastal forests and ramorum blight in European nurseries and landscapes (1), was detected in six Oregon nurseries in Jackson, Clackamas, and Washington counties from May to June 2003. The pathogen was isolated from:

Rhododendron species cultivation has a long history in northern Italy, where a wide selection of cultivars and hybrids is grown. In spring 2001, a previously unknown bud blast was observed on several rhododendron cultivars growing in gardens and parks in the Province of Biella, Italy. Flower

In April 2010, during a survey conducted in Fthiotis Prefecture of central Greece, symptoms of stem necrosis and leaf lesions were observed on two container-grown plants of Rhododendron, hybrid 'Kate Waterer' in a nursery. From symptomatic leaves, a Phytophthora species was isolated on PARPH-V8

Phytophthora ramorum was found in Poland in 2000 as the causal agent of rhododendron blight. Besides eradication of diseased plants and rhododendron growing around, chemical and biological control of the pathogen is necessary. In this study in vitro activity of grapefruit extract and chitosan in the
