  • Staminal Evolution in the Genus Salvia (Lamiaceae): Molecular Phylogenetic Evidence for Multiple Origins of the Staminal Lever
    Staminal Evolution In The Genus Salvia (Lamiaceae): Molecular Phylogenetic Evidence For Multiple Origins Of The Staminal Lever Jay B. Walker & Kenneth J. Sytsma (Dept. of Botany, University of Wisconsin, Madison) Annals of Botany (in press) Abstract • Background and Aims - The genus Salvia has traditionally included any member of the tribe Mentheae (Lamiaceae) with only two stamens and with each stamen expressing an elongate connective. The recent demonstration of the non-monophyly of the genus presents interesting implications for staminal evolution in the tribe Mentheae. In the context of a molecular phylogeny, we characterize the staminal morphology of the various lineages of Salvia and related genera and present an evolutionary interpretation of staminal variation within the tribe Mentheae. • Methods. Two molecular analyses are presented in order to investigate phylogenetic relationships in the tribe Mentheae and the genus Salvia. The first presents a tribal survey of the Mentheae and the second concentrates on Salvia and related genera. Schematic sketches are presented for the staminal morphology of each major lineage of Salvia and related genera. • Key Results. These analyses suggest an independent origin of the staminal elongate connective on at least three different occasions within the tribe Mentheae, each time with a distinct morphology. Each independent origin of the lever mechanism shows a similar progression of staminal change from slight elongation of the connective tissue separating two fertile thecae to abortion of the posterior thecae and fusion of adjacent posterior thecae. We characterize a monophyletic lineage within the Mentheae consisting of the genera Lepechinia, Melissa, Salvia, Dorystaechas, Meriandra, Zhumeria, Perovskia, and Rosmarinus. • Conclusions.

The antioxidant fraction was isolated from the plant material by super- critical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) fractional extraction under a pressure of 30 MPa and at temperatures of 40 and 100 °C. In the present study, kinetic data and yields of antioxidant extracts obtained from dried leaves of rosemary and sage under different conditions were determined. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy assay on the ability of the extracts to scavenge stable 2,2- -diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals and reactive hydroxyl radicals during the Fenton reaction trapped by 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) showed that the investigated extracts had antioxidant activity comparable to that of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and commercial rosemary extract.

In the past, spices were very valuable articles of exchange, for many countries they assured a source of wealth and richness. Today, spices are lower in price, but they are essential of foods to any type of nation. In addition to synthetic aromatic compounds, spices from natural resources have increasing importance again. UNESCO – EOLSS The majority of spices not only add flavor and aroma to our foods, but contribute to their preservationSAMPLE and nutritive value. Although CHAPTERS the flavoring role of spices in our food cannot be separated from their other (curing, antimicrobal, antioxidant, etc.) actions, in this article we try to introduce some of the most important plants selected according to their importance as condiments.

  • F6.2 Eastern Garrigue
    European Red List of Habitats - Heathland Habitat Group F6.2 Eastern garrigue Summary This is open, low scrub dominated by sclerophyllous shrubs and sub-shrubs that is derived from degraded evergreen forest and maquis in the eastern Mediterranean including the Black Sea coast, and sustained by summer aridity, grazing and fire. The floristic composition is diverse and dependent on geographical position across the range, altitude and the particularity of human impact. Abandonment or intensive grazing are the main threats and no particular conservation measures are needed if traditional agriculture is maintained. Synthesis Relatively few quantitative data exist, but all information indicates that the habitat is Least Concern (LC), as declines in quality are relatively small and the habitat is widespread and increasing in area in the Eastern Mediterranean. Overall Category & Criteria EU 28 EU 28+ Red List Category Red List Criteria Red List Category Red List Criteria Least Concern - Least Concern - Sub-habitat types that may require further examination Various communities and associations have been identified within the distribution range of the habitat, which might be considered geographically and ecologically distinguished sub-habitat types and would require further examination.

    E271 Bulletin For a comprehensive list of our publications visit www.rce.rutgers.edu Landscape Plants Rated by Deer Resistance Pedro Perdomo, Morris County Agricultural Agent Peter Nitzsche, Morris County Agricultural Agent David Drake, Ph.D., Extension Specialist in Wildlife Management The following is a list of landscape plants rated according to their resistance to deer damage. The list was compiled with input from nursery and landscape professionals, Cooperative Extension personnel, and Master Gardeners in Northern N.J. Realizing that no plant is deer proof, plants in the Rarely Damaged, and Seldom Rarely Damaged categories would be best for landscapes prone to deer damage. Plants Occasionally Severely Damaged and Frequently Severely Damaged are often preferred by deer and should only be planted with additional protection such as the use of fencing, repellents, etc. Success of any of these plants in the landscape will depend on local deer populations and weather conditions.

Covered in an iridescent, blue blooms year- round, but especially so in the winter months. Grown in full sun in the garden but can tolerate dry shade as well. A favorite of bees. Pairs well with CA Fuchsia and Bulbine in the sun and Limonium in the shade. An UC Davis Arboretum All Star http://arboretum.ucdavis.edu/allstars_detail_85.aspx FEBRUARY: PLANT OF THE MONTH Irene/Huntington Carpet (Trailing Rosemary) — Rosmarinus officinalis We have both varieties planted along the wall entrance to the county office. It was planted about 8-9 years ago and really has never been touched. We trim it every few years when it grows far into the path below that it becomes a hazard. It blooms most magnificently this time of year, especially alongside the Ceanothus Valley Violet, but it blooms throughout the year. The bees love it. It grows about a foot tall, but then trails nicely down the wall. Some of the groundcover rosemary can get to 3-4' because the branches grow over one another. If you like year-round color/interest, low maintenance, minimal water need, fragrance, edible and something to attract beneficial insects as well as covering a slope or wall - Trailing Rosemary would be a great addition to your garden. 1 | P a g e MG of Alameda Co LIVERMORE DEMO GARDEN – 2018 PLANTS OF THE MONTH MARCH: PLANT OF THE MONTH Golden Currant — Ribes aureum This California native plant drips with honey like blooms in March.

Bremer, P. Cantino, J. Chau, J. L. Clark, B. Drew, P. Garnock- Jones, S. Grose (Heydler), R. Harley, H.-D. Ihlenfeldt, B. Li, L. Lohmann, S. Mathews, L. McDade, K. Müller, E. Norman, N. O’Leary, B. Oxelman, J. Reveal, R. Scotland, J. Smith, D. Tank, E. Tripp, S. Wagstaff, E. Wallander, A. Weber, A. Wolfe, A. Wortley, N. Young, M. Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales. For further information on the project and to provide information for future versions, please contact R.

Essential oils are mainly characterized by monoterpene hydrocarbons (39.32–40.70%) and oxygenated monoterpenes (36.08-39.47%). The 1,8-cineole, α-pinene, camphor, and trans-caryophyllene are the most representative compounds. S. rosmarinus essential oils were investigated for their antioxidant activity by using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,20-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), ferric reducing ability power (FRAP), and β-carotene bleaching tests. Additionally, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitory activity assays were used to screen the neuroprotective effects of S. rosmarinus. R2 showed the highest antioxidant potential as confirmed by relative antioxidant capacity index (RACI) and exhibited a selective activity against AChE (half maximal inhibitory concentration, IC50, value of 41.86 µg/mL).

To the Longing Lab members, Roberto Miranda, Wilber Gutierrez, Torie Wisenant, Shelby Chandler, Bryan Guevara, Bianca Rendon, Christopher Jewett, thank you for all the hard work. To my family, my parents, my sisters, and Balentina and Bruno: you put up with me being distracted and missing many events. Finally, and most important, to my wife, Baleshka, your love and understanding helped me through the most difficult times. Without you believing in me, I never would have made it. It is time to celebrate; you earned this degree right along with me. I am forever grateful for your patience and understanding.
