    05 in the front line 21-09-2010 11:36 am Page 1 In the front line Judy Harry Plants that grow in the front line perform many functions. They have to provide the first line of defence against careless invasions by mowers, feet, even livestock (fig. 1) They form at one and the same time the start and the finish of the border, leading the eye to statuesque and imposing plants at the rear, or allowing the eye to come to a comfortable stop at the front. Which all sounds rather prosaic, not to say functional. One of the pleasures of last year’s gardening for me was being able to see some of my ‘front liners’ with fresh eyes, not just as the useful plants they undoubtedly are, but also as the star performers they can be in their own right. It all started with the flowering of Jovellana violacea (fig. 2). Having bought it as a very small plant on the 2002 Autumn Weekend, I planted it where I could keep an eye on it. Each spring, in my ignorance, I cut it back to tidy it up, assuming that it would produce flowers later in the summer: exactly the wrong thing to do. This interesting little shrublet flowers on the previous year’s wood in early summer, and Addison © Twink with time will form a thicket of upright stems, bearing pale, whitish-mauve pouched flowers with spotted throats. My poor plant, of course, never had mature enough stems to produce so much as a spot, let alone whole pouches.

  • Ten Fun Facts About Chocolate FOOD
    Ten Fun Facts About Chocolate I will bet you didn’t know this about chocolate! 10 fun facts about the world’s favourite treat. 1. Chocolate comes from a fruit tree; it’s made from a seed. 2. It takes 400 cocoa beans to make one pound of chocolate. 3. Each cacao tree produces approximately 2,500 beans. 4. Cacao beans were so valuable to early Mesoamericans that they were used as currency. 5. “Cacao” is how you say “cocoa” in Spanish. 6. A farmer must wait four to five years for a cacao tree to produce its first beans. 7. Spanish royalty gave cakes of cacao in their dowries. 8. Theobroma Cacaois the tree that produces cocoa beans, and it means “food of the gods.” Carolus Linnaeus, the father of plant taxonomy, named it. 9. Chocolate has over 600 flavour compounds while red wine has just 200. 10. Chocolate milk is an effective post work-out recovery drink FOOD 20 Things You Never Knew About Chocolate BY KATE ERBLAND OCTOBER 28, 2018 1. THERE ARE MULTIPLE CELEBRATIONS OF CHOCOLATE EACH YEAR. Holiday makers are constantly on the hunt for a reason to munch on chocolate, so the calendar offers plenty of excuses to buy a bar. July 7 is also Chocolate Day, a nod to the historical tradition that the day marks when chocolate was first brought to Europe on July 7, 1550, though a number of sources argue that it might have hit the continent’s shores as far back as 1504, thanks to Christopher Columbus. Official day or not, we do know that chocolate first arrived in Europe some time in the 16th century.

Three ways to contact us: FAX: (303) 621-2864 (24 HRS.) email: [email protected] website: www.alplains.com Dear Growing Friends: Welcome to our 23rd annual seed catalog! The summer of 2012 was long, hot and brutal, with drought afflicting most of the U.S. Most of my botanical explorations were restricted to Idaho, Wash- ington, Oregon and northern California but even there moisture was below average. In a year like this, seeps, swales, springs, vestigial snowbanks and localized rainstorms became much more important in my search for seeding plants. On the Snake River Plains of southern Idaho and the scab- lands of eastern Washington, early bloomers such as Viola beckwithii, V. trinervata, Ranunculus glaberrimus, Ranunculus andersonii, Fritillaria pudica and Primula cusickiana put on quite a show in mid-April but many populations could not set seed. In northern Idaho, Erythronium idahoense flowered extensively, whole meadows were covered with thousands of the creamy, pendant blossoms. One of my most satisfying finds in the Hells Canyon area had to be Sedum valens. The tiny glaucous rosettes, surround- ed by a ring of red leaves, are a succulent connoisseur’s dream. Higher up, the brilliant blue spikes of Synthyris missurica punctuated the canyon walls. In southern Oregon, the brilliant red spikes of Pedicularis densiflora lit up the Siskiyou forest floor. Further north in Oregon, large populations of Erythronium elegans, Erythronium oregonum ssp. leucandrum, Erythro- nium revolutum, trilliums and sedums provided wonderful picture-taking opportunities. Eriogonum species did well despite the drought, many of them true xerics.

ABSTRACT Canna indica L. is a tropical herb belonging to the family Cannaceae. It has been widely used in traditional medicine for the treatment of many complains. The phytochemical analysis of Canna indica showed that it contained various phytochemicals including alkaloids, carbohydrates, proteins, flavonoids, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, oils, steroids, tannins, saponins, anthocyanin pigments, phlobatinins and many other chemical compounds. The pharmacological studies showed that this plant exerted antibacterial, antiviral anthelmintic, molluscicidal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic immunmodulatory, antioxidant, cytotoxic, hemostatic, hepatoprotective, anti diarrheal and other effects. This review deals with highlight the chemical constituents and the pharmacological effects of Canna indica.

Academic Editors: Douglas D. Archbold and Kazumi Nakabayashi Received: 23 February 2015 / Accepted: 30 April 2015 / Published: 8 May 2015 Abstract: Canna indica Linn. (Cannaceae), is used both as medicine and food. Traditionally, various parts of C. indica are exploited to treat blood pressure, dropsy, fever, inflammatory diseases etc. However, till date there is no reliable micropropagation protocol for C. indica. We present here a regeneration technique of C. indica with banana micropropagation medium (BM). BM supplemented with 3% sucrose, 0.7% agar, −1 and 0.17% NH4NO3 and different plant growth regulators like BAP (2 mg·L ) and NAA (0.5 mg·L−1) was found to be effective in inducing callus in C. indica. BM with BAP (2 mg·L−1) was ideal for somatic embryogenesis and plantlet regeneration. After a period of 3 months, regenerated plantlets were successfully transferred to the field conditions. Appearance of somaclonal variation among the regenerated plants is a common problem which could be assessed by DNA fingerprinting.

  • David A. Rasmussen, 2 Elena M. Kramer, 3 and Elizabeth A. Zimmer 4
    American Journal of Botany 96(1): 96–109. 2009. O NE SIZE FITS ALL? M OLECULAR EVIDENCE FOR A COMMONLY INHERITED PETAL IDENTITY PROGRAM IN RANUNCULALES 1 David A. Rasmussen, 2 Elena M. Kramer, 3 and Elizabeth A. Zimmer 4 Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 USA Petaloid organs are a major component of the fl oral diversity observed across nearly all major clades of angiosperms. The vari- able morphology and development of these organs has led to the hypothesis that they are not homologous but, rather, have evolved multiple times. A particularly notable example of petal diversity, and potential homoplasy, is found within the order Ranunculales, exemplifi ed by families such as Ranunculaceae, Berberidaceae, and Papaveraceae. To investigate the molecular basis of petal identity in Ranunculales, we used a combination of molecular phylogenetics and gene expression analysis to characterize APETALA3 (AP3 ) and PISTILLATA (PI ) homologs from a total of 13 representative genera of the order. One of the most striking results of this study is that expression of orthologs of a single AP3 lineage is consistently petal-specifi c across both Ranunculaceae and Berberidaceae. We conclude from this fi nding that these supposedly homoplastic petals in fact share a developmental genetic program that appears to have been present in the common ancestor of the two families. We discuss the implications of this type of molecular data for long-held typological defi nitions of petals and, more broadly, the evolution of petaloid organs across the angiosperms. Key words: APETALA3 ; MADS box genes; petal evolution; PISTILLATA ; Ranunculales.
