  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

  • Pharmacognosy
    Pharmacognosy Third stage Dr. Enass Najem 2nd semester Lec:8 ERGOT, ERGOT ALKALOIDS, AND LSD When the parasitic fungus Claviceps purpurea lives on rye and other cereal crops, a poisonous alkaloid and called ergot is produced. Ergot was the subject of great fear previously, because people who ate rye products infected with this, fungus experienced a strange and debilitating, and frequently lethal, disease. Ergot contains alkaloids that contract the blood vessels of arms and legs, preventing circulation of the blood, and gangrene results. Thus, people suffering from ergot poisoning lost their hands and legs without bleeding (ergotism), after they became darkened. Although it was well known that ergot was very dangerous, midwives in Europe were also using it for promotion of the contraction of the womb post-parturition. Subsequently, studies of the active principle(s) of ergot responsible for the contractions were initiated. The first alkaloid isolated in crystalline form was ergotinine , but it did not possess the uterocontracting activity. Ergotoxine was the first biologically active alkaloid isolated, and was shown to be a mixture of ergocristine, ergocornine, and related alkaloids. Ergotamine was isolated later in a pure form. The common skeleton of these ergot alkaloids is known as lysergic acid, and ergotamine comprises a structure based on lysergic acid coupled with a peptide moiety. The universal skeleton of the ergot alkaloids is known as the ergoline nucleus. It was shown by using cultivated Claviceps that the ergoline skeleton was derived biosynthetically from tryptophan and a C5 unit of mevalonic acid origin. 1 Pharmacognosy Simple lysergic acid amides, such as ergine and lysergic acid hydroxyethylamide, are obtained from the ergot that lives on wild grass.

  • The Effect of Lighting and Temperature on the Eggs and Hatchlings of Olive Ridley Turtles at Rushikulya, India a Thesis Submitte
    The effect of lighting and temperature on the eggs and hatchlings of olive ridley turtles at Rushikulya, India A Thesis Submitted to The Manipal University In partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Science in Wildlife Biology and Conservation 2008 By Divya Karnad Post-Graduate Program in Wildlife Biology & Conservation Centre for Wildlife Studies and National Centre for Biological Sciences UAS-GKVK Campus Bangalore – 500 065 ii iii To those who teach by example, especially my family, Arun and Sashirekha. iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The olive ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea) nests both sporadically and en masse along the Indian Coast. Of the three mass nesting sites along the East coast of India, the Rushikulya rookery may currently have the most regular nesting population of olive ridley turtles and is therefore likely to play a key role in maintaining the Indian Ocean population of the species. The sporadic nesting site of Chennai is completely altered by human activity and represents a set of conditions completely different from those in Rushikulya. Olive ridley turtles in India are protected and have been studied for several years but detailed studies on factors affecting nesting and hatching have not been conducted. The present study examines the effect of temperature and lighting on egg and hatchling survival of the olive ridley turtle. The response of the hatchlings to different lighting regimes on the beach, as well as to specific combinations of wavelength and intensity of light was studied. Hatchlings responded to both intense point sources of light at Rushikulya as well as glows from hidden point sources.

  • Amelanchier Alnifolia. Araucaria Araucana
    Woodland Garden Plants The present-day cultivation of large areas of single annual crops such as wheat might seem, on the surface, to be a very productive and efficient use of land (average wheat yields this century have increased more than three-fold to over 3 tons per acre). When other factors are taken into account, however, it can be argued that this is a very unproductive and unsustainable use of the land. A woodland, on the other hand, might seem to be a very unproductive area for human food (unless you happen to like eating acorns). By choosing the right species, however, a woodland garden can produce a larger crop of food than the same area of wheat, will require far less work to manage it and will be able to be sustainably harvested without harm to the soil or the environment in general. I do not intend to go into any more details of the pros and cons of annuals versus perennials here. If you would like more information on this subject then please see our leaflet Why Perennials. One of the main reasons why a woodland garden can be so productive is that such a wide range of plants can be grown together, making much more efficient use of the land. The greater the diversity of plants being grown together then the greater the overall growth of plant matter there is. Thus you can have tall growing trees with smaller trees and shrubs that can tolerate some shade growing under them. Climbing plants can make their own ways up the trees and shrubs towards the light, whilst shade- tolerant herbaceous plants and bulbs can grow on the woodland floor.

  • Large Scale Multiplication of Casuarina Junghuhniana Miq

Clonal Plants through Mini-cutting Technique Chezhian Palanisamy, Seenivasan Ramanathan, Selvakrishnan Palanisamy and Suresh Kumar Ganesan Department of Plantation, Tamil Nadu Newsprint and Papers Limited, Kagithapurm, Karur, Tamil Nadu 639 136, India Abstract: The modern concept of meeting the customer’s requirements in better products at low costs in a sustainable manner is possible only through innovative methods. The nodal cutting technique is the most widely used method for large scale propagation of Casuarina, Eucalyptus and other pulpwood species in India. Tamil Nadu Newsprint and Papers Limited (TNPL) has started large scale multiplication of Casuarina junghuhniana Miq. using mini-cutting technique from indoor clonal mini hedges raised in sand beds. When compared to stem/nodal cuttings, indoor clonal mini hedges raised in sand beds improve the rooting potential, quality of root systems and are time- and cost-saving. The productivity of cuttings is increased five times in indoor clonal hedge orchard than conventional stem/nodal cutting. The rooting percentage also improved to 90% without rooting hormone whereas the same is only 50% in stem cutting. The plant developed through mini-cutting technique has more lateral root system which helps the plants/trees to withstand during heavy winds. Replacing such stump derived stock plants by intensively managing indoor sand bed clonal mini hedges resulted in a noticeable enhancement of cutting capacity for adventitious rooting as well as the overall quality of the plants produced in much shorter period with easier and cheaper maintenance.
