  • Prunus Spinosa
    Prunus spinosa Prunus spinosa in Europe: distribution, habitat, usage and threats I. Popescu, G. Caudullo The blackthorn (Prunus spinosa L.) is a spiny, deciduous shrub which produces small, purple, edible plums. This species occurs mostly from south-central Europe up to southern Scandinavia, and eastwards to Asia Minor, growing in forest margins and open woodlands as part of Mediterranean thermophilous plant communities. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant and for fruit production, used to make jams, wine, vinegar and distillates. The blackthorn has no important threats, but it can be a natural host and potential reservoir of diseases affecting production of economically important fruits, such as apricots, plums, peaches and apples. The blackthorn, or sloe, (Prunus spinosa L.) is a spiny, deciduous shrub, growing 1-5 m tall. It forms a dense canopy with Frequency 1-4 intricate branches and numerous suckers . Secondary twigs < 25% 25% - 50% often transformed into a spine, initially velvety soft, reddish- 50% - 75% brown. The buds are globular oval, reddish-brown, more or less > 75% Chorology hairy. The bark is dark grey to blackish, slightly grooved. The Native leaves are alternate, 2-5 × 1-2 cm long, obovate to oblanceolate, or elliptical, with margins finely toothed, dull green in colour and hairless above, usually hairy on the veins underneath1, 3. The petioles are 0.2-1 cm long, often hairy. The stipules are elongate, Purple globose drupes covered with a frostlike bloom. glandular, toothed, and usually longer than petioles3. The flowers (Copyright Phil Sellens, www.flickr.com: CC-BY) are white, 1-1.7 cm wide, usually solitary, appearing before leaves, numerous, on about 0.5 cm long pedicels1-3.

Received: 7 January 2016 Returned for revision: 4 March 2016 Accepted: 31 March 2016 Published electronically: 9 June 2016 Background and Aims Understanding the evolutionary and ecological forces contributing to the emergence of biodiversity hotspots is of outstanding importance to elucidate how they may withstand current climate changes. Here we explored patterns of phylogenetic and non-phylogenetic plant endemism in a Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot. We hypothesized that areas with wet and equable climatic conditions would be prone to long-term persist- ence of endemic lineages (palaeoendemism), whilst areas of recent local speciation (neoendemism) would be more related to harsher environmental conditions and to high topographical relief promoting speciation. Methods We focused on the Baetic–Rifan biodiversity hotspot (southern Iberian Peninsula and northern Morocco) in combination with molecular phylogenetic information and relative phylogenetic endemism (RPE), a recent phylogenetic measure of endemism, allowing us to discern centres of palaeo- from those of neoendemism. Using eco-geographical regions as study units, we explored correlations between both RPE and endemic species richness with precipitation- and temperature-related variables and with elevation range.

Fruit varies from 1 to 1 ½ inch in diameter, the distinct plum characteristics of sour skins, sweet and fruits with soft, sweet flesh tend to be larger. flesh that sticks tightly to the pit, and pits that are flatter than they are round. Plants vary from shrubs to small trees. Wild plums (Prunus americana) are native to much of the U.S. North America is host to a variety of distinct plum species, but the only species widely planted in Minnesota is P. americana. Wild plums are typically large shrubs or small trees that sucker profusely, often sending out root suckers that sprout 20 or more feet from the mother plant. The fruit flesh is yellow, while the skin color varies from yellow to red, with the most common color being a red blush. Like most wild plants that are propagated from seeds, fruit quality varies tremendously. The best quality fruit has thick, sour skins, with sweet flesh that clings tightly to the pit. Some trees produce fruit with the texture of a golf ball that does not soften during Figure 41. Edible wild plums perennial fruit for northern climates 83 Sand cherries are small, native shrubs which Cherry plum is kind of a catch-all term for a number produce a small fruit that is closer to plums than of small fruited plums that belong to several related cherries.

  • (Prunus Domestica L.) Genotypes of Duhok City Using AFLP Markers
    International Journal of Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering Vol. 1, No. 2, 2015, pp. 64-69 http://www.aiscience.org/journal/ijbbe Analysis of Plum (Prunus domestica L.) Genotypes of Duhok City Using AFLP Markers Shaymaa H. Ali, Dalal Y. Sinjare *, Jaladet M. S. Jubrael Scientific Research Center, Duhok University, Duhok, Iraq Abstract A plum or gage is a stone fruit tree in the genus Prunus , subgenus Prunus . The subgenus is distinguished from other subgenera (peaches, cherries, bird cherries, etc) in the shoots having a terminal bud and the side buds solitary (not clustered).The samples were analyzed by using AFLP markers. Three primer combinations generated a total of 106 bands and among them86 were polymorphic (81.1%), while 20 (18.9%) were monomorphic. A relatively low genetic diversity has been observed by using AFLP. Genetic similarity values ranging from 0.2464 the lowest genetic distance found between achas yabani thahabi and achas bathengani, whereas the highest genetic distance 0.5415 between achas no.1 and achas maryana. Using UPGMA clustering analysis method based on the similarity coefficient, cultivars were separated into two major genetic clusters within first cluster there is two sub-groups consists of achas no.1, achas samari, achas aswad daymi, achas bathangani no.2 and achas yabani thahabi and a second cluster consist of achas maryana and achas bathangani. The results suggested that AFLP is a good method to determine genetic relatedness among plum genotypes in Duhok city.

  • Growing Plums in Connecticut Plums Have Been Cultivated for Thousands of Years and May Have Been One of the First Fruits Domesticated by Humans
    Growing Plums in Connecticut Plums have been cultivated for thousands of years and may have been one of the first fruits domesticated by humans. Alexander the Great has been given credit for introducing them into Greece and Pliny the Elder, a Roman scholar, noted this fruit in his first century writings. It is easy to see why plums are a time-honored favorite fruit. They are tasty, beautiful in bloom, and not very difficult to grow, which make plums a great addition to the edible landscape. Plums are also quite nutritious, containing cancer-fighting antioxidants, many vitamins and minerals, and fiber at approximately 40 calories each. The estimated United States production of plums in 2015 was over 1 billion pounds and the per capita consumption range of 0.9 to 1.9 pounds of plums has remained constant since 1970. Types of Plums There are more than 100 species of plums with about 30 of them indigenous to North America. Early Native Americans used them raw, cooked and dried. Two common species that might be encountered in Connecticut are the wild red plum, Prunus americana, and the beach plum, P. maritima. Enough beach plums grew on Cape Cod, Massachusetts to have once made gathering the fruits for preserves a viable commercial venture. While either of these two species would be suitable for a native plant garden, they may not top the list of those preferred for backyard fruit production. For this purpose, choose from European or Japanese plums. European plums (P. domestica) would be the top choice for the colder regions of Connecticut.
