with the Divine Krishna at the center, opposed by the army of one hundred at the outside edges. The pigment of the blue Passion Flower is said to be associated with the color of Krishna 's aura.

They prefer a neutral to slightly acidic and well drained yet consistently moist soils. They are not very tolerant to diseases and pests and especially nematodes. Prefers minor shade where indirect sunlight may be decreased in order to avoid Germination takes weeks to even months, but is an easy plant to care for. Even though they are easy to care for, it is often recommended that people get cuttings for the sake of convenience and to avoid to worry of fusarium rotting the seeds. Their cuttings are also said to be ready to root under typical horticultural methods. The plant may seem dead during a cold winter, but the roots are more reliable than the foliage and so the plant likely with come back “to life” in spring. Mulching is also advised for the sake of retaining soil moisture along with creating a barrier between the cold weather and the roots. One problem passiflora has is that it is susceptible to fusarium. The fruits are said to be ripened and then stored for a couple weeks where it will start to ferment.

they also turnover nitrogen and produce canopy soil more rapidly than woody species (Nadkarni, 2000). Therefore, epiphytic presence critically enhances nutrient cycling in cloud forests. In addition to hosting nitrogen-fixing bacteria, epiphytes provide shelter and resources to many endemic cloud forests animals through symbiotic relationships. Arthropod abundance is directly correlated to epiphyte biomass, since insects like spiders use these plants as a refuge from predation, for breeding, and…

cleavage of cyanohydrins [2]. The cyanohydrins and their derivatives are finding wide applications in industries like pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and cosmetics since these can be readily converted into other important molecules like α-hydroxy carboxylic acids, α-hydroxy ketones and β-amino acids [3]. The HNLs have been reported, purified and characterized from several plants e.g. almond (Prunus amygdalus), flax (Linum usitatissimum), cherry (Prunus serotina), peach (Prunus persica), capulin…
