| Abstract/Contents: | "Plants of wild myrtle (Myrtus communis L.) collected at full bloom contained substances inhibitory to the germination and seedling growth of perennial ryegrass. (Lolium perenne L. cv Hollandi) Tissue suspensions had a greater inhibitory activity than water extracts of the plant tissue. Boiling the plant material also increased the inhibitory activity of suspensions and extracts. Flower, and buds, fruit covers and leaves had the greatest inhibitory effect/unit weight ot tissue but inhibitory activity was also present in stems and roots at lower concentrations. The effect of myrtle leaf suspensions on germination of seed of thirteen common garden flowers was also examined: Germination of Petunia, Antirrhinum, Linum, Cheiranthus and Lathyrus was inhibited completely or substantially depressed. Germination of Zinnia, Tagetes, Verbena and Dianthus was not much affected, while that of Bellis, Gaillardia, and Viola was affected to an intermediate extent. These results suggest that the possible use of wild myrtle as an evergreen hedge plant needs to be examined further because of possible interference with the growth of nearby lawns and flowers." |
