Vinblastine(Vb) or vincristine, alkaloid derived from Vinca rosea is known for its antimitotic activity by regrouping of microtubules into paracrystalline form within the cells. A rapid purification method of vinblastine-induced microtubular paracrystals(PC) has provided us with a fresh and pure microtubular material demonstrating the presence of a labile ATPase associated with the PC. The present report is concerned with the fine structure of purified microtubules of mammalian cultured cells.Confluent monolayer cultures of L cells were incubated for 20hrs with 10-5 M Vb (donated from Shionogi Seiyaku & Co., Osaka, Japan).

<p>Background: <em>Vinca rosea</em> is known contain alkaloids, it was usually used to treat various diseases. Alkaloids from Vinca leaves are also already known have larvicidal activity. Based on this toxicological activity, the fruit of <em>Vinca rosea</em> was selected to investigation its larvicidal activity against the 3<sup>rd</sup> instar larvae of the mosquito vector of dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) <em>Aedes aegypti.</em>  Five concentrations of Vinca fruit extract were tested against the 3<sup>rd</sup> instar Aedes aegypti larvae. The different larval mortality percentages were recorded after 24 hours. Lethal concentration (LC<sub>50</sub> anf LC<sub>90</sub>) of Vinca fruit extract were calculated using Probit analysis. Phytochemical compounds  of ethanolic extract also investigated using Thin layer Chromatography (TLC). LC<sub>50</sub> and LC<sub>90</sub> values of fruit extract were 2.987 mg/ml and 32.861 mg/ml. Alkaloids were detected in extract.</p>

A yellows-type virus was isolated from naturally infected alsike clover, Trifolium hybridum L., from Alberta by means of the six-spotted leafhopper, Macrosteles fascifrons (Stål), and transmitted to T. hybridum, Callistephus chinensis Nees, Vinca rosea L., Daucus carota L., and Nicotiana rustica L. Attempts to isolate the virus with Scaphytopius acutus (Say) were unsuccessful. On the basis of symptomatology and vector–virus relationships it is concluded that this virus is distinct from the clover phyllody virus and known strains of the aster yellows virus. The name, clover proliferation virus, is proposed. Symptoms produced on hosts are illustrated and discussed.
