Plant structure inflorescence

Essential oil—These are various types of volatile organic oils that occur in plants and can be extracted for use in perfumery and flavoring. Inflorescence—grouping or arrangement of florets or flowers into a composite structure, often for the purpose of making the flowers more attractive to animal pollinators. 

Epiphytic hyphae were also found on the tiller abnormality consisting of closely placed nodes described in the previous symptomatology section above. It is possible that such structures could develop into new Nigrocornus-i nfected plants under the right conditions. Janardhanan et al. (1991) claimed that 4% of seeds from inflorescences of lemongrass inoculated with B. sclerotica produced infected plants, raising the possibility of another mode of survival. 

In general, only in a few plant species A. ageratum, A. squamatus, Bromus hordea-ceus, Dactylis hispanica and Foeniculum vulgare) are the structures involved in reproduction, i.e. inflorescences or seeds, significantly more enriched in Sb than the other parts of the plant. 

The scientific name of Chinese chives is Allium tuberosum Rottl. (Liliaceae). It is known as Jiucai in China and Nira in Japan. It is a perennial plant and both the leaves and the inflorescences are edible. It has also been used as an herbal medicine for many diseases. According to the dictionary of Chinese medicines, the leaves have been used for the treatment of abdominal pain, diarrhea, hematemesis, snakebite and asthma while the seeds are used as a tonic and aphrodisiac. In the present study, 39 compounds were isolated and identified from the ethanol extract of the seeds of Allium tuberosum. Among them, 23 are new compounds and include spirostanol saponins, furostanol saponins, cholesterol saponins and alkaloids. Their structures were identified by a combination of ESIMS, ID, and 2D-NMR (COSY, TOCSY, ROSEY, HMQC, and HMBC). The antitumor activities of some of these compounds will be discussed.
