India is a hotspot of wild rose species, major being R. brunonii, R. moschata, R. multiflora Research Institute, New Delhi, and R. cathayensis R. macrophylla, R. webbiana). Every species has some of the special traits which can India be used for development of new cultivars suitable for specific purposes. Morphological data were recorded as per PPV& FRA guidelines and principal component analysis was done based on score data. DVS Raju It extracts all important variables in the form of different components. Major variables observed during ICAR-DFR, Pune, Maharashtra, India assessment were plant growth habit, the shape of prickles, leaflet shape and size, leaf serration and shape of stipules. All five components were named after observing the variables of the particular component. Markandey Singh PCA biplot was constructed between different components, species having positive value on both X and ICAR-Indian Agricultural Y axis were recommended as suitable for a particular purpose. Some species such as R. banksiae, R. Research Institute, New Delhi, macrophylla, R. odorata, R. tomentosa, R. glutinosa, R. multiflora, Rose Sherbat and Dr Huey were India found to be suitable for breeding cultivars having better water use efficiency, radiation use efficiency and growth dimension. Sapna Panwar ICAR-Indian Agricultural Keywords: rose, multivariate analysis, PCA, wild species Research Institute, New Delhi, India Introduction Gaurav Kumar Vani Roses are one of the most beautiful creations of nature. They are grown all around the world JNKVV, Jabalpur, Madhya for their beautiful flowers. It belongs to family Rosaceae which include approximately 120 Pradesh, India species distributed in the Northern Hemisphere (Wissemann, 2003) [14]. Striking feature of rose diversity is the availability of variation in almost all visible morphological characters. Diversity can be observed with respect to growth habit, plant spread, leaf type, leaf shape, leaf colour, stem colour, prickle characteristics (such as presence or absence, curvature, colour, density etc.), stipule, floral characteristics (Colour, fragrance, number of petals etc.). Asia is one of the major gene centres where the majority of the wild rose species are found. India is also a hotspot for roses (Duthie, 1971; Bamber, 1976; Hooker, 1978, Tejaswini, and Prakash, [4, 2, 13] 2005) , with as many as sixteen species and four hybrid species has been reported to be growing wild in various phytogeographical zones of India (Pal, 1966; Rathore and Umesh, 1992) [6, 7]. Western Himalaya leads with six wild species viz. R. brunonii, R. moschata, R. multiflora and R. cathayensis R. macrophylla and R. webbiana (Singh et al., 2017) [12]. This wealth of indigenous germplasm is important source of many important traits such as perpetual flowering, winter hardiness fragrance, colour, thornlessness, scented foliage etc. Many wild species have been evolved to survive under abiotic stresses such as droughts, extreme heat and cold and biotic stresses such as insects, pests, and diseases (Tejaswini, and Prakash, 2005) [13]. These germplasm need to protect from the untimely loss and have to evaluate in order to utilized in rose breeding programs. Native species such as Rosa brunonii, R. macrophylla, R. moschata, R. spinossisima, R. rubiginosa, R. wichuraiana can help in breeding new cultivars suitable for local agro-ecological conditions. The present work was done to study to evaluate rose species and cultivars for their usefulness in the breeding program based on morphological traits. Correspondence Abhay Kumar Gaurav Materials and Methods ICAR-Indian Agricultural Thirty-one rose species and cultivars were collected from ICAR-IARI, New Delhi, ICAR- Research Institute, New Delhi, NBPGR, Regional Station, Shimla, and ICAR-IARI, Regional Station Katrain, (Table 1). India Twenty-one species, five cultivar and five wild species of unknown origin were collected. ~ 3277 ~ International Journal of Chemical Studies The observations were recorded for eighteen vegetative some variables (Four) were uniform throughout the characters. Traits assessed in the study were; plant growth genotypes, they were not included for further analysis; only habit, anthocyanin coloration of young shoots and their hue, fourteen sets of the variable were used for Principal presence or absence of prickles, its colour, curvature, leaf components analysis (Revelle, 2017) [8]. It extracts all colour, glossiness of adaxial surface, leaf pubescence, leaflet important variables in the form of different components. All serration of margin, terminal leaflet: length and breadth, the variables of a component was reinterpreted and remaining terminal leaflet: shape of the blade, tip, and base and type of the categories was done logically to keep focus on research stipule. As most of the species didn’t flower at the place of (Coolen, 2008; Sharma, 2014) [3, 11]. Here the loading value of work, floral data were not recorded. Scoring was done as per first five components was further analyzed. Any variables Rose DUS guidelines given (Authority, P.P.V.F.R., 2012) [1]. having value more than 0.5 is good enough to explain For the characters which were not included in PPV&FRA, diversity in a component. Based on loading value in each such as presence or absence of prickles on the shoot, the component, a variable having value ≥0.5 were selected and a shape of terminal leaflet blade and type of stipule, a scoring remaining of component was done. PCA was plotted between pattern was created similar to DUS guidelines (Rathore and two components; component 1 vs component 2, component 2 Umesh, 1992) [7] and further analysis was done (Table 2).

They are- young Based on morphological traits, it was inferred that high shoot: anthocyanin colouration, young shoot: hue of variation is available in genus Rosa. Variations were noticed anthocyanin colouration, prickles on stem: present/absent, for almost all important vegetative characters. The prickles: predominant colour and leaflet serration of margin. morphological traits which differentiate species and cultivars After observing these characters, we named this component 1 into distinct groups are plant growth habit, the shape of as Water use efficiency (WUE). In the second component, prickles, leaflet shape and size, leaf serration and shape of three variable had loading value of ≥0.5; plant growth habit, stipules. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to shape of the lower side of prickle and type of stipule. We identify multidimensional relationships among various traits named this second component as growth dimension after for grouping species. It extracts all important variables in the observing these 3 characters. The third component was named form of different components from a large set of variables photosynthetic assimilation as the variable (traits) having available in a dataset and presents them in more interpretable loading value of ≥0.5 were related to leaf (Length and breadth form. Principle components altogether explained 100% of the of the terminal leaflet and its shape of base). In fourth accumulated variables (Yoshioka, 2004) [15].

  • "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.

Accepted 1 July, 2011 Conservation and utilization of the native plant resources is essential for long term sustainability of biodiversity. Wild native resources are adapted to specific and diverse environmental conditions and therefore, these adaptive features can be introduced into modern cultivars either through conventional breeding or advanced molecular genetic techniques. Understanding the genetic make up of the wildly growing plant species and of target desirable genes is a prerequisite for this purpose. Five wild rose ( Rosa L.) genotypes were collected from different locations in northern hilly areas of Pakistan for this study. Different morphological characteristics and PCR based random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used to find out the diversity and relationship among the genotypes. On morphological basis, Rosa webbiana collected from Muree and Nathia gali showed maximum (83%) similarity, whereas on DNA pattern basis, Rosa brunonii collected from Bansra gali and Sunny bank showed maximum (72%) similarity, while R.

Dear John, As requested Florigene is submitting “Addendum 1: pests and disease for roses” to add to petition 08-315-01p. This addendum outlines some of the common pest and diseases found in roses. It also includes information from our growers in California and Colombia stating that the two transgenic lines included in the petition are normal with regard to susceptibility and control. This addendum contains no CBI information. Kind Regards, Katherine Terdich Regulatory Affairs ADDENDUM 1: PEST AND DISEASE ISSUES FOR ROSES Roses like all plants can be affected by a variety of pests and diseases. Commercial production of plants free of pests and disease requires frequent observations and strategic planning. Prevention is essential for good disease control. Since the 1980’s all commercial growers use integrated pest management (IPM) systems to control pests and diseases. IPM forecasts conditions which are favourable for disease epidemics and utilises sprays only when necessary. The most widely distributed fungal disease of roses is Powdery Mildew. Powdery Mildew is caused by the fungus Podosphaera pannosa. It usually begins to develop on young stem tissues, especially at the base of the thorns. The fungus can also attack leaves and flowers leading to poor growth and flowers of poor quality.

    The use of regional phylogenies in exploring the structure of plant assemblages Tammy L. Elliott Doctor of Philosophy Department of Biology McGill University Montr´eal, Qu´ebec, Canada 2015-09-015 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy c Copyright Tammy L. Elliott, 2015 All rights reserved Dedication I dedicate this thesis to my parents, who sadly both left this world much to early. I like to dream that you are both enjoying your time together in a place with no worries, where you can enjoy all of the wonderful things in life. Dad—Although you left us when we were so young, I daily cherish the special times the two of us spent together. The memories of exploring the countryside, visiting neighbours, caring for the pigs and skipping school to fish are always close to my heart. Mom—I miss your strength, interesting perspective (albeit humorously pessimistic), no-nonsense attitude towards life and listening ear. I hope that you are finding ways to enjoy your grandchildren and tend your beautiful gardens. I would like to assure you that yes—one day I will have a full-time job.
