Screening for Resistance to Pythium Root Rot among Twenty-three Caladium Cultivars
EDIS, 2005 Pythium root rot, caused by Pythium myriotylum (Ridings and Hartman, 1976), is a very damaging disease to caladium plants (Caladium x hortulanum). Use of disease-resistant cultivars has been an effective and economically viable strategy for integrated ...

HEIGHT CONTROL OF CALADIUMS WITH PACLOBUTRAZOL
HortScience, 1993 Experiments were conducted in the Spring of 1991 and 1992 to evaluate the efficacy of paclobutrazol and uniconazole drench and spray applications on the tall-growing Caladium × hortulanum (Birdsey) cultivars Aaron, White Christmas, and Carolyn Whorton.

Advanced Biology, Volume 9, Issue 11, November 2025.The unrolling of the peltate leaves in Syngonium podophyllum is analyzed and quantified (left‐hand side to center). These measurements serve to verify a mathematical model for leaf unrolling based on the model used in Schmidt (2007). An additional formula for obtaining a layer mismatch from a prescribed radius is derived.

Evaluation of Caladium Cultivars for Sensitivity to Chilling [PDF]
HortTechnology, 2006 Caladium ( Caladium × hortulanum ) leaves can be injured at air temperatures below 15.5 °C. This chilling sensitivity restricts the geographical use of caladiums in the landscape, and leads to higher fuel costs in greenhouse production of pot plants ...

Pest categorisation of Coccus viridis
EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Coccus viridis (Hemiptera: Coccidae), the green coffee scale, for the territory of the European Union (EU), following the commodity risk assessment of Jasminum polyanthum from Uganda, in which C. viridis was identified as a pest of possible concern to the EU.

American Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 10, October 2024.Abstract Premise While some studies have found leaf variegation to reduce photosynthetic capacity, others showed that it can increase photosynthesis. Thus, what maintains variegation remains an open question. Two primary hypotheses—the anti‐herbivory and abiotic heterogeneity hypotheses—have been posited, yet little empirical research explicitly ...

Chloroplast capture and range extension after hybridization in taro (Colocasia esculenta)
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.Complete chloroplast genome sequences from wild and cultivated taro (Colocasia esculenta) and closely related Colocasia species provide a well‐supported phylogenetic tree with three main chloroplast lineages. Two of these (CI and CIII) appear to be involved in an ancient history of hybridization, chloroplast capture, and range extension.
