Feeder Cresson and Feeder Edmond flow almost along two thirds of the site before joining to form Riviere Gros Ruisseau. Feeder Augustin which starts half way in the East of the site flows South –easterly to join Riviere Gros Ruisseau just before the latter flows outside the site at its South eastern boundary with St Aubin Sugar Estate. Two tributaries, Feeder Rivet and an unnamed Feeder flow along about a quarter of the site before joining to form Riviere Ruisseau Marron which winds down and out of the site with three to four loops flowing inside and out along the Eastern edge of the site. Feeder Enterrement starts in the middle of the last southern quarter of the site and flows more or less straight out of its eastern boundary with St Aubin Sugar Estate. The escarpments of the feeders and the Rivers vary from smooth slopes, steep slopes to almost vertical slopes and the vegetation consists predominantly of almost the same type of introduced species but with Ravenale ( Ravenala madacascariensis ) as the most dominant species, (see Fig.

    Peanuts and Prestige on the Peruvian North Coast: the Archaeology of Peanuts at Huaca Gallinazo (V-59) and Huaca Santa Clara (V-67)

    PEANUTS AND PRESTIGE ON THE PERUVIAN NORTH COAST: THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF PEANUTS AT HUACA GALLINAZO (V-59) AND HUACA SANTA CLARA (V-67) by Lindi Jaclyn Masur B.A. (Hons), The University of Western Ontario, 2010 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Anthropology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2012 © Lindi Jaclyn Masur, 2012 i ABSTRACT This thesis explores the role that a single species of plant, the peanut (Arachis hypogaea), played in pre-Hispanic North Coast communities of the Andes. Through a literature review of ethnohistoric accounts, Moche iconographic interpretation, and nutritional analysis, I explore the symbolic importance of the peanut, as well as other special properties that may have contributed to peanuts’ luxury status in the pre-Hispanic North Coast. This study documents the peanut’s use not only as a comestible, but also as a prestige good used in competitive feasts and for veneration of the dead. I show how the peanut was used both practically and symbolically in order to create and reify status differences between elites and commoners, and how this trend extends into the South Coast. Finally, I provide evidence for peanuts’ prestige association through a case study of the archaeobotanical remains from Huaca Gallinazo (V-59) and Huaca Santa Clara (V-67), two important Early Intermediate Period sites located in the Virú Valley and that were part of the Virú polity. ii PREFACE This research was funded in part by a Joseph-Armand Bombardier CGS – Master’s Award scholarship (award number #766-2011-4276) from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, and a University of British Columbia Faculty of Arts Graduate Entrance Scholarship.

It is widely recognized that many of the world’s protected areas contain CWR diversity. Despite this, it has not yet proved possible to undertake significant actions to conserve the CWR they contain. Many challenges and obstacles need to be addressed in order to improve this situation. Recent initiatives have started to address these challenges and uncovered some key lessons. Still, the need for action is urgent and the paper concludes by drawing attention to the need for a global approach to conserving priority and threatened CWR in the wild. INTRODUCTION worth noting that the same study found breeders’ use of CWR taxa was increasing year on year, even though it Crop wild relatives (CWR) - wild plant species closely was recognized that they were still far from being related to crops to which they may contribute beneficial systematically exploited. genes - constitute an enormous reservoir of genetic variation for crop improvement and are an important Some idea of the scale of benefits may be obtained from socio-economic resource. Genes from wild plants have published estimates referring to a selected number of provided crops with resistance to many pests and crops.

Accepted 23 September, 2010 Aegilops vavilovii (Zhuk.) Chennav., a rare species, was collected from Southeast Anatolia, Turkey. During the field studies of the project “Taxonomic revision of Tribe Triticeae in Turkey”, Ae. vavilovii was accidentally recollected from three localities in anliurfa and Mardin provinces in 2007 and 2008, respectively. The main objective of this study is to shed light on the diagnostic characteristics of this rare species including its morphological, palynological and micro morphological features. Moreover, an emended and expanded description, distribution, phenology and ecology of this rare species are also provided. A. vavilovii and A. crassa are naturally found in the Southeastern part of Turkey and they share similar morphological features that caused a confused taxonomy. Pollen grains of A. vavilovii are heteropolar, monoporate and spheroidal (A/B: 1,13) typically as Poaceous. However, it generally, prefers clayish loam soils that are slightly alkaline (pH 7.7) with low organic content (1.54%). Although it is a rare species with very narrow area of distribution, very few samples have been represented in ex situ collections and the species has not been involved in any in situ conservation activities to save its genetic resources in Turkey.

    SRP472 3 Comparison of Rye and Triticale As Forages for Grazing

    Selected Articles from 1985 Report of Agricultural Research Southeast Branch Experiment Station Agricultural Experiment Station Kansas State University 16 Comparison of Rye and Triticale as Forages for Grazing Stocker Cattle Winter annual small grains are frequently grazed during late fall and early spring in southeastern Kansas. Wheat is often the crop of choice, especially if grain production is the primary objective. If pasture is the main consideration, there are probably other small grains that will yield more forage and produce a greater quantity of beef cattle weight gain per acre than wheat. Research has been conducted at the Southeast Kansas Experiment Station to determine which winter annual small grains will result in maximum forage and beef production in a graze-out program. A study conducted in 1981-82 revealed that triticale produced nearly twice as much beef liveweight gain per acre as Newton wheat. Results from a 1982-83 study indicated that a mixture of 2/3 rye and 1/3 wheat produced over three times as much beef liveweight per acre as triticale. The following study was conducted to compare rye and triticale with respect to performance of grazing stocker cattle. Procedure: On September 19, 1983, two 5-acre fields were seeded with winter annuals. One field was seeded with 105 lb of triticale per acre and the other was seeded with 89 lb of Bonel rye per acre. At seeding time, 25-65-70 lb of N-P2O5-K2O per acre was applied and on November 14, 1984, 50 lb of N per acre was applied to each pasture.

    Spontaneous Chromosome Substitutions in Hybrids of Triticum Aestivum with T. Araraticum Detected by C-Banding Technique

    Number 80: 26 - 31 (1995) Spontaneous chromosome substitutions in hybrids of Triticum aestivum with T. araraticum detected by C-banding technique E.D. Badaeva and B.S. Gill Wheat Genetics Resource Center, Department of Plant Pathology, Kansas State University, Throckmorton Hall, Manhattan, KS 66506-5502, USA Abstract One hundred thirty-one plants representing twenty-nine families of Triticum aestivum cv. Wichita X T. araraticum hybrids were analyzed by the C-banding technique. Transfer of genetic material involved whole chromosome(s) or chromosome arms. Nine different types of chromosome substitution were found. The mean number of substitutions per karyotype was 1.86 (range 1-3). Substitutions involving G-genome chromosomes occurred more frequently than A' genome chromosomes. Individual chromosomes also differed in the frequency of substitution. The most frequently substituted chromosome was 6G, while substitutions with 1At, 2At, 4At, 6At, 7At, 3G, and 7G were not recovered. A recombinant (rec) 7AS-7AtL chromosome was identified. The spectrum of substitutions was different from those in other T. aestivum x T. timopheevii hybrids, indicating that the genotype of the parental species determines the pattern of substitutions in their hybrids. Introduction Triticum araraticum Jakubz. is a wild tetraploid wheat with the genome formula AtAtGG. Morphologically similar to T. dicoccoides, T. araraticum differs from it in karyotype structure (Badaeva et al. 1986; Gill and Chen 1987; Jiang and Gill 1994). At present, there is no consensus opinion on the origin of these two wheat species. According to one hypothesis, T. dicoccoides and T. araraticum were derived from the common ancestor by introgressive hybridization with unknown diploid species (Gill and Chen 1987).

    INHERITANCE OF MALATE DEHYDROGENASE IN WILD PEPPER 1 II. GENÉTICA E MELHORAMENTO DE PLANTAS INHERITANCE OF MALATE DEHYDROGENASE IN WILD PEPPER (1) ADILSON RICKEN SCHUELTER (2), VICENTE WAGNER DIAS CASALI (2) & FERNANDO LUIZ FINGER (2) ABSTRACT Leaf extracts from wild pepper (Capsicum flexuosum Sendt) were analysed for the presence of malate dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.1.1.37; MDH) isozymes using starch gel electro- phoresis. Seven phenotypes for MDH isozymes were observed in the genitors. Genetic analy- sis in F1 progenies revealed five loci coding for MDH. Isozyme banding patterns of hybrids indicated that MDH-3 and MDH-4 genes code for monomeric enzymes, while MDH-5 for a dimeric isoform. In MDH-2 loci, one particular F1 progeny showed a significant deviation from the expected isozyme pattern. It is possible that other genes are controlling the expres- sion of MDH-2 in pepper. Also, there are two alleles coding for MDH-2 isozyme. On the other hand, MDH-1 was monomorphic for all genotypes used in the experiment. Index terms: wild pepper, Capsicum flexuosum, malate dehydrogenase, inheritance.

    Hybridization Dynamics of Invasive Cattail (Typhaceae) Stands at Pierce Cedar Creek Institute: a Molecular Analysis

    HYBRIDIZATION DYNAMICS OF INVASIVE CATTAIL (TYPHACEAE) STANDS AT PIERCE CEDAR CREEK INSTITUTE: A MOLECULAR ANALYSIS Alex Graeff, Kelsey Huisman, and Dr. Pamela J. Laureto Department of Biological Sciences Grand Rapids Community College 143 Bostwick NE Grand Rapids, Michigan 49503 ABSTRACT Three cattail taxa are recognized in Michigan USA: native Typha latifolia (broad-leaf cattail), the invasive Typha angustifolia (narrow-leaf cattail), and the hybrid of these two species Typha × glauca. Typha angustifolia and T. × glauca are of special interest because of their ability to aggressively spread and out-compete the native cattail T. latifolia. Typha × glauca has been shown to out-compete both its parental taxa and produce monospecific stands. We surveyed the Pierce Cedar Creek Institute (PCCI) property for cattails and located 25 distinct cattail marshes. We determined the total area of cattail marsh at PCCI to be roughly 10% of the 267 ha property. Cattail individuals were sampled from each of the 25 stands and random amplified polymorphic DNA markers were used to identify the individuals to species. We found that 20 of the 25 stands were monospecific for the native cattail, T. latifolia. Five of the stands were mixtures of the native T. latifolia and the introduced T. angustifolia, and T. × glauca was found in two of the mixed stands. We recommend removal of the invasive T. angustifolia and T. × glauca individuals and the establishment of a monitoring plan in order to maintain the long-term health of the cattail marshes at PCCI. Keywords: Typha spp., RAPD markers, invasive species 1 INTRODUCTION Species of Typha L. (Typhaceae), commonly known as cattails, are highly productive emergent plants that grow in a variety of wetland habitats throughout the world (McManus et al.
