(Aztec tobacco) is the only Nicotiana species, except common tobacco (N. tabacum L.), which is cultivated for tobacco products. The leaves of N. rustica, however, accumulate various specialized metabolites of potential interest. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evalu- ate certain classes of metabolites (by HPLC and GC-MS) in the leaves, the essential oil (EO), concrete and resinoid of N. rustica. Three pentacyclic triterpenes were identified in the leaves (by HPLC): betulin (252.78 µg g−1), betulinic (182.53 µg g−1) and oleanolic (69.44 µg g−1) acids. The dominant free phen- olic acids in the leaves (by HPLC) were rosmarinic (4257.38 µg g−1) and chlorogenic (1714.40 µg g−1), and conjugated forms of vanillic (3445.71 µg g−1), sinapic (1963.11 µg g−1) and syringic (1784.96 µg g−1).

  • The Only African Wild Tobacco, Nicotiana Africana: Alkaloid Content and the Effect of Herbivory
    The Only African Wild Tobacco, Nicotiana africana: Alkaloid Content and the Effect of Herbivory Danica Marlin1, Susan W. Nicolson1, Abdullahi A. Yusuf1, Philip C. Stevenson2,3, Heino M. Heyman4, Kerstin Kru¨ ger1* 1 Department of Zoology and Entomology, University of Pretoria, Private Bag X20, Pretoria, South Africa, 2 Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Surrey, United Kingdom, 3 Natural Resources Institute, University of Greenwich, Chatham, Kent, United Kingdom, 4 Department of Plant Sciences, University of Pretoria, Private Bag X20, Pretoria, South Africa Abstract Herbivory in some Nicotiana species is known to induce alkaloid production. This study examined herbivore-induced defenses in the nornicotine-rich African tobacco N. africana, the only Nicotiana species indigenous to Africa. We tested the predictions that: 1) N. africana will have high constitutive levels of leaf, flower and nectar alkaloids; 2) leaf herbivory by the African bollworm Helicoverpa armigera will induce increased alkaloid levels in leaves, flowers and nectar; and 3) increased alkaloid concentrations in herbivore-damaged plants will negatively affect larval growth. We grew N. africana in large pots in a greenhouse and exposed flowering plants to densities of one, three and six fourth-instar larvae of H. armigera, for four days. Leaves, flowers and nectar were analyzed for nicotine, nornicotine and anabasine. The principal leaf alkaloid was nornicotine (mean: 28 mg/g dry mass) followed by anabasine (4.9 mg/g) and nicotine (0.6 mg/g). Nornicotine was found in low quantities in the flowers, but no nicotine or anabasine were recorded. The nectar contained none of the alkaloids measured. Larval growth was reduced when leaves of flowering plants were exposed to six larvae.

  • Anthropology of Tobacco
    Anthropology of Tobacco Tobacco has become one of the most widely used and traded commodities on the planet. Reflecting contemporary anthropological interest in material culture studies, Anthropology of Tobacco makes the plant the centre of its own contentious, global story in which, instead of a passive commodity, tobacco becomes a powerful player in a global adventure involving people, corporations and public health. Bringing together a range of perspectives from the social and natural sciences as well as the arts and humanities, Anthropology of Tobacco weaves stories together from a range of historical, cross-cultural and literary sources and empirical research. These combine with contemporary anthropological theories of agency and cross-species relationships to offer fresh perspectives on how an apparently humble plant has progressed to world domination, and the consequences of it having done so. It also considers what needs to happen if, as some public health advocates would have it, we are seriously to imagine ‘a world without tobacco’. This book presents students, scholars and practitioners in anthropology, public health and social policy with unique and multiple perspectives on tobacco-human relations. Andrew Russell is Associate Professor in Anthropology at Durham University, UK, where he is a member of the Anthropology of Health Research Group. His research and teaching spans the sciences, arts and humanities, and mixes both theoretical and applied aspects. He has conducted research in Nepal, the UK and worldwide. Earlier books include The Social Basis of Medicine, which won the British Medical Association’s student textbook of the year award in 2010, and a number of edited volumes, the latest of which (co-edited with Elizabeth Rahman) is The Master Plant: Tobacco in Lowland South America.

  • Viability Analyses for Vascular Plant Species Within Prescott National Forest, Arizona
    Viability analyses for vascular plant species within Prescott National Forest, Arizona Marc Baker Draft 4 January 2011 1 Part 1. Description of Ecological Context (Adapted from: Ecological Sustainability Report, Prescott National Forest, Prescott, Arizona, April 2009) Description of the Planning Unit Prescott National Forest (PNF) includes mostly mountains and associated grassy valleys of central Arizona that lie between the forested plateaus to the north and the arid desert region to the south. Elevations range between 3,000 feet above sea level along the lower Verde Valley to 7,979 feet at the top of Mount Union, the highest natural feature on the Forest. Roughly half of the PNF occurs west of the city of Prescott, Arizona, in the Juniper, Santa Maria, Sierra Prieta, and Bradshaw Mountains. The other half of the PNF lies east of Prescott and takes in the terrain of Mingus Mountain, the Black Hills, and Black Mesa. The rugged topography of the PNF provides important watersheds for both the Verde and Colorado Rivers. Within these watersheds are many important continuously or seasonally flowing stream courses and drainages. A portion of the Verde River has been designated as part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Vegetation within PNF is complex and diverse: Sonoran Desert, dominated by saguaro cacti and paloverde trees, occurs to the south of Bradshaw Mountains; and cool mountain forests with conifer and aspen trees occur within as few as 10 miles upslope from the desert . In between, there are a variety of plant and animal habitats including grasslands, hot steppe shrub, chaparral, pinyon-juniper woodlands, and ponderosa pine forests.

  • Prosodic Prominence in Karuk by Clare Scoville Sandy a Dissertation
    Prosodic Prominence in Karuk by Clare Scoville Sandy A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Andrew Garrett, Co-chair Professor Sharon Inkelas, Co-chair Associate Professor Darya Kavitskaya Summer 2017 Prosodic Prominence in Karuk Copyright 2017 by Clare Scoville Sandy 1 Abstract Prosodic Prominence in Karuk by Clare Scoville Sandy Doctor of Philosophy in Linguistics University of California, Berkeley Professor Andrew Garrett, Co-chair Professor Sharon Inkelas, Co-chair This study focuses on word-level prosodic prominence in Karuk (kyh), a Hokan isolate of Northern California. Prosodic prominence in Karuk is made up of sparse tone and stress, and there are two main influences on its placement: the alignment of high tone and certain syllable structures, and the use of prosodic prominence to mark stem edges. These influences are at times in conflict, with the resolution depending on criteria specific to particular sets of morphology. The study is based on analysis of a corpus combining recent fieldwork and historical data. Specific findings include: 1) the placement of prominence in a Karuk word is largely dependent on CV-skeleton syllable structure and far more predictable than previ- ously thought; 2) while one tone-syllable alignment is the unmarked output of constraints, a different tone-syllable alignment on the input blocks its surfacing; 3) various sets of morphol- ogy interfere with the basic placement of prominence by triggering stem-final prominence; and 4) the predictable placement of basic prominence only applies within the prosodic stem, from which certain morphemes are excluded.

  • The Tolowa Dee-Ni' Language Revitalization
    The Tolowa Dee-ni’ Language Revitalization Loren Me’-lash-ne Bommelyn Taa-laa-wa Dee-ni’ Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation Language Revitalization, Is the Challenge The Challenge of Endangered Language recovery is uncertain work. Endangered Languages are spoken and unspoken. Many languages are retrieved from manuscripts, publications, audio files, ethnographies and from the hearts and minds of speakers. What will reform the speech community? Most children hear English and Spanish not Dee-ni'. How can an Endangered Language wage against media, Colonialism and singleness? What methodologies and approaches support Endangered Languages? “Teach what you learn and speak what you know.” The Taa-laa-wa Dee-ni’ Thea Ta -laa-wa Dee-ni' are a Dene (Athabaskan) speaking people of the Pacific Northwest. The Taa-laa-waa-dvn lays across ten rivers systems that empty into the Pacific in southwest Oregon and northern California. The neighbors of the Taa-laa- wa are the Yurok to the south, the Karuk, Takelma and Kalapuya to the east and the Coos to the north. The Yurok language is Algonquian. The Karuk language is Hokan. The Takelma, Kalapuya and Coos are Penutian. The Dee-ni' emerged following Genesis at Yan'-daa-k'vt, "South-up-hill”, the center of the Dee- ni' world. The Dee-ni’ Homeland Xatlh-srii-dvn - Genesis The Three Beings; Baby Sender, Daylight and Thunder living above the Earth in the Sweat House of Knowledge spoke and made the water covered earth. The first tree, the white redwood, stood upon the knoll as it slid forth from the south out of the watery depths at Yan’-daa-kvt.
