Arbor Board and the City of Pierre Parks Department. It is funded, by a grant received from the South Dakota Department of Agriculture. It will help residents with their selection, maintenance, EMERALD ASH BORER installation, and proper utilization of trees in our community. As this is only a guide to tree selection, please consult your local professional for specific varieties and how they will adapt to your location. The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is responsible for the destruction of tens of millions of American ash trees in North America. It was accidentally introduced from Asia into southeastern Michigan in 2002. PIERRE STREET TREE ORDINANCES EAB was identified in Sioux Falls in 2018 and will eventually make its way to Pierre. This may take 1-2 For Full Text : www.cityofpierre.org years or it may take over 10. When it does, this insect will kill all of the ash trees in our community. Some varieties are dead within a few years (green and black ash) while others take a little longer to die. There Section 6-4-101. Location of trees - distance from street corners and fireplugs.

Section 6-4-104. Trimming of trees required - city trimming at owner’s expense. The occupant of any private premises or the owner of the same if not occupied, abutting on any public street, road or alley Pierre property owners are legally responsible for all trees on their property from curb to alley, including within the city shall keep all trees standing upon such premises or between the same and the center of the the boulevard. The EAB insecticide treatment currently costs $200/tree and needs to be repeated every 2 adjoining street, road or alley so trimmed that no bough or branch thereof shall be lower than twelve feet years. Tree removal can cost from $200 - $2,000+ depending on location and size of the tree. Replacement above the surface of the street, road or alley or eight feet above the surface of any sidewalk thereon and shall trees can cost from $75 - $600 depending on the size and species of tree. Starting with less desirable and smaller ash trees, a gradual replacement over a number of years allows replacement trees to mature while remaining trees continue to provide summer shade and winter wind breaks. As the remaining ash trees are eventually replaced the first trees will be much bigger and able to quickly provide protection from our summer and winter weather. Spreading the workload, costs of removal, and replacement over years is easier to budget for than a sudden need to remove every ash tree all at once. A little over 11% of all trees in the Pierre parks and other public areas are green ash trees. That’s about 250 trees. On non-public properties the total number of ash trees is much higher. Every one of these trees will need to be removed or injected with insecticide every 2 years for the life of the tree. The choices are, do you pick your favorites and treat then, do you wait and have yours removed when EAB gets here, or do you start a proactive plan of gradual replacement of your ash trees? Reputable tree care companies or your local garden center can help you identify your existing trees and make suggestions for suitable replacements. Please do not haul your own firewood for camping and especially, do not transport any wood from a quarantined area. Monitor your ash trees. As you plant new or replacement trees on your property, plant different species. A variety of trees helps create diversity. If one species contracts a disease or a pest, not all your trees will be affected. If you have an ash tree with a thinning canopy or notice D-shaped holes in the bark please contact: City of Pierre Parks Department at 773-7437.

The usefulness of random amplified microsatellite polymorphism markers to study the genetic diversity and relationships among cultivars belonging to Prunus salicina and P. domestica and their wild relatives (P. insititia and P. spinosa) was investigated. A total of 226 of 234 bands were polymorphic (96.58%). The 226 random amplified microsatellite polymorphism markers were screened using 15 random amplified polymorphic DNA and inter-simple sequence repeat primers combinations for 54 Tunisian plum accessions. The percentage of polymorphic bands (96.58%), the resolving power of primers values (135.70), and the polymorphic information content demonstrated the efficiency of the primers used in this study. The genetic distances between accessions ranged from 0.18 to 0.79 with a mean of 0.24, suggesting a high level of genetic diversity at the intra- and interspecific levels.

  • Plums on the Prairies by Rick Sawatzky
    Plums on the Prairies by Rick Sawatzky Information from Literature Much has been published about pollination, pollinators, pollinizers, fertilization and fruit set in text books and periodicals. The definitions are not difficult. Pollination is the movement of pollen among compatible flowering plants (cross-pollination) or from anthers to stigmas on the same plant or different plants of the same clone (self-pollination). Many plants will self-pollinate but set very few fruit; some authors consider them self- pollinating but they are definitely not self-fruitful. Self-fruitful plants (and clones) set a crop of fruit after self-pollination; some of these plants bear fruit with no seeds (parthenocarpy); others develop seeds with embryos that are genetically identical to the parent plant (apomixis); and others produce haploid seeds that develop from an unfertilized egg cell. (When haploid seeds germinate they are very weak seedlings with only half the chromosomes of normal seedlings.) Regarding temperate zone tree fruits, self-pollination and fruit set does not mean self-fertility and the development of normal seeds. Many temperate zone small fruit species (e.g. strawberries and raspberries) are self-fertile and develop maximum yields of fruit with normal seeds as the result of self-pollination by insects. Pollinators, usually insects, are vectors of pollen movement. Pollinizers are plants which provide the appropriate pollen for other plants. Fertilization is the process in which gametes from the pollen unite with egg cells in the ovary of the flower. Normal seeds are usually the result of this process. Also, the principles are easily understood. Poor fertilization in plums and other Prunus species results in a poor fruit set.

  • Investigations of the Plum Pox Virus in Chile in the Past 20 Years
    REVIEW Investigations of the Plum pox virus in Chile in the past 20 years Guido Herrera1 Sharka disease, which is caused by Plum pox virus (PPV), is one of the most serious diseases affecting stone fruit trees around the world. Identified in Bulgaria in 1931, it was restricted to the European continent until 1992 when the virus was identified in Chile. It was subsequently verified in the USA, Canada, and Argentina. After 20 years since first detecting PPV in Chile, it seems clear that the disease cannot be eradicated in spite of various measures. Considering the seriousness of this problem for the domestic industry, a series of studies have been conducted to determine the distribution and degree of transmission of the disease, its biological and molecular characterization and epidemiological aspects, etc. The available information has allowed national phytosanitary control agencies to take steps to decrease the effects of the virus. However, there is a lack of data with respect to epidemiological factors for a more accurate understanding of the performance of the virus under Chilean conditions. Key words: Sharka disease, virus, stone fruit. INTRODUCTION more precise diagnosis techniques like Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) (Wetzel et al., 1991; Hadidi and Levy, The first symptoms of Sharka or Pox were observed by 1994), resulting in greater knowledge about the range of farmers in southwest Bulgaria after the First World War hosts and viral strains. As well, biotechnological methods and the first scientist to describe the viral nature of the associated with genetic transformation generated plant disease was Dimitar Atanasov in 1933 (Dzhuvinov et al., varieties with characteristics of immunity to the virus 2007), calling it Sharka disease or Plum pox virus (PPV).

  • Genome-Wide SNP Identification in Prunus Rootstocks Germplasm
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genome-wide SNP identifcation in Prunus rootstocks germplasm collections using Genotyping-by- Sequencing: phylogenetic analysis, distribution of SNPs and prediction of their efect on gene function Verónica Guajardo1, Simón Solís1, Rubén Almada1, Christopher Saski2, Ksenija Gasic2 & María Ángeles Moreno3* Genotyping-by-Sequencing (GBS) was applied in a set of 53 diploid Prunus rootstocks and fve scion cultivars from three subgenera (Amygdalus, Prunus and Cerasus) for genome-wide SNP identifcation and to assess genetic diversity of both Chilean and Spanish germplasm collections. A group of 45,382 high quality SNPs (MAF >0.05; missing data <5%) were selected for analysis of this group of 58 accessions. These SNPs were distributed in genic and intergenic regions in the eight pseudomolecules of the peach genome (Peach v2.0), with an average of 53% located in exonic regions. The genetic diversity detected among the studied accessions divided them in three groups, which are in agreement with their current taxonomic classifcation. SNPs were classifed based on their putative efect on annotated genes and KOG analysis was carried out to provide a deeper understanding of the function of 119 genes afected by high-impact SNPs. Results demonstrate the high utility for Prunus rootstocks identifcation and studies of diversity in Prunus species. Also, given the high number of SNPs identifed in exonic regions, this strategy represents an important tool for fnding candidate genes underlying traits of interest and potential functional markers for use in marker-assisted selection. Prunus is a genus belonging to the subfamily Prunoideae of the family Rosaceae1. Several species of this large genus, known as stone fruits, are among the most important for the world fruit industry, providing edible and tasty fruits highly appreciated by consumers (e.g., peaches, plums, cherries, apricots and almonds).

  • Plum Prunus Domestica L.; Prunus Salicina Lindl
    Plum Prunus domestica L.; Prunus salicina Lindl. Rosaceae Species description There are two primary species of cultivated plums, the European plum (Prunus domestica) and Japanese plum (Prunus salicina). Plum trees are small to medium-sized deciduous trees with rounded crowns. Plum leaves are oval to elliptic in shape depending on the species, with serrated margins. The flower buds form with leaf buds in early spring. Large, white flowers appear in April. European plums have 1-2 flowers per bud, and Japanese plums generally have multiple flowers per bud. Plum fruit, a drupe fruit with a single seed, matures from July to November, depending on the cultivar. The fruit skin is covered in a smooth, waxy layer, and the skin color may be green, yellow, orange, pink, red, purple, or blue. Interior flesh color varies from green to yellow to red. European plums are usually small, oval in shape and variable in color; these include varieties such as the prune-plums Stanley and Italian, Yellow egg, Reine Claude, and the Gage plums. Japanese plums are large, round to heart- shaped and have firm flesh; these are the most common fresh eating plums in the U.S. Natural and cultural history European plums are native to western Asia in the Caucasus Mountains. Japanese plums are thought to have originated in China on the Yangtze River; widespread cultivation for the last 2,500 years makes it difficult to determine its natural range. European plum pits have been found in archaeological remains in Switzerland. Plums are mentioned in Greek writings and were common in European gardens since at least the 1st century CE.

  • 175 Section 6 Stone Fruits (Prunus Spp.)
    SECTION 6 STONE FRUITS (PRUNUS SPP.) 1. Introduction A. General Background The genus of Prunus sensu latu comprises more domesticated (also cultivated) species of temperate fruits than the other genera in the family of Rosaceae (Malus, Pyrus, Sorbus, Cydonia, Rubus, Fragaria). One of the obvious reasons for the abundant domestication might have been the coincidence between the location of the centre of variability of Prunus and the site of human evolution and/or of the first ancient high civilisations of human history. Improvement of fruit trees through traditional breeding methods is a long-term effort because of their lengthy generation time. Thus, new approaches are researched to attain the envisaged breeding goals in a reasonable time frame. Genetic transformation is potentially useful, because specific genetic changes can be made. In the last few years successful examples of resistance breeding against viruses from different plant virus families have been reported, using the coat protein-mediated cross protection approach (Beachy et al., 1990). However, only very few fruit trees have been among these experiments due to the difficulties in transformation protocols. “Cross protection” was originally described as the phenomenon of protection of a plant against the invasion of a severe disease-causing virus due to prior inoculation of the plant with an attenuated virus strain (McKinney, 1929). Hamilton postulated in 1980 that the expression of sequences from the viral genome, if expressed in transgenic plants, could possibly cause a protection against viruses. In fact by the expression of the viral coat protein gene in transgenic plants, similar effects could be obtained, and it was therefore distinguished as coat protein mediated protection (Beachy et al., 1990).
