  • Narcissus Tazetta Drought Tolerant Bulbs for the Bay Area
    NARCISSUS TAZETTA DROUGHT TOLERANT BULBS FOR THE BAY AREA Joan Zwiep February 2016 NARCISSUS TAZETTA DROUGHT TOLERANT BULBS FOR THE BAY AREA Bulbs In botany, a geophyte or bulb, is a short stem with fleshy leaves or leaf ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ bases that function as food storage organs during dormancy. The ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ underground storage organs of bulbs expend their food and water storage to produce the leaves and flowers. It is these underground food and water storage organs that allow these plants to resist drought. Bulbous plant species cycle through vegetative and reproductive growth stages; the bulb grows to flowering size during the vegetative stage and the plant flowers during the reproductive stage. During the wet season, bulbs replenish their resources from soil nutrients and photosynthesis. During the hot, dry season, bulbs go dormant storing their accumulated food supply while showing little to no sign of life above ground. In autumn or spring the plants sprout again to continue the cycle. It is these characteristics which make many bulbous plants suitable for our Mediterranean climate of mild, wet winters and then hot, dry summers. Narcissus For many, daffodils are the flower of spring, the harbinger of warmer weather and longer days. They belong to one of the few plant genera that gardeners in all regions of the United States can grow successfully. That’s not to say that all daffodils will grow in all regions; it’s just a matter of selecting the ones that will thrive in a particular climate zone. Narcissus is a genus of predominantly spring perennial plants in the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Amaryllidaceae (amaryllis) family.

  • Taxonomic, Pharmacognostic and Physicochemical Authentication of Colchicum Luteum Baker (Suranjantalkh) from Its Commercial Adulterant
    Pak. J. Bot., 48(5): 2039-2045, 2016. TAXONOMIC, PHARMACOGNOSTIC AND PHYSICOCHEMICAL AUTHENTICATION OF COLCHICUM LUTEUM BAKER (SURANJANTALKH) FROM ITS COMMERCIAL ADULTERANT SIDRA NISAR AHMED1, MUSHTAQ AHMAD1*, ZABTA KHAN SHINWARI2 AND SHELA SHINWARI1 1Department of Plant Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad 45320, Pakistan 2Department of Biotechnology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan *Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The main objective of current study is to elucidate taxonomic, pharmacognostic and physicochemical behavior of Colchicum luteum (Suranjantalkh) for its proper identification and authentication from its cheap and tasteless adulterant. Colchicum luteum is one of the most rare and hence expensive medicinal plants. It is an active part of many unani formulations due to presence of an alkaloid colchicine which is claimed to be effective in arthritis, gout, rheumatism and internal injuries. In order to overcome demand of its corm, suppliers and herb sellers adultered bulbs of a monocotyledon plant Narcissus tazetta. This type of study reveals to be helpful in differentiating plants on basis of leaf epidermal anatomy, palynology, phamacognosy and physicochemical values. It is an important step in field of herbal medicine to provide pure and original medicinal plants to yield their maximum effectiveness. Key words: Colchicum luteum, Authentication, Physicochemical, Standardization, Taxonomy. Introduction Asparagales order. Colchicum luteum is commonly known as Suranjantalkh (Shinwari et al., 2003). It is a Medicinal plants are frequently used in herbal monocot plant and collected in bulk from meadows in industries for manufacture of packed medicines and taken Kashmir. Monocotyledons occupy important position in form of raw herbs by indigenous people (Shinwari et among plant groups with reference to staple food, al., 2014).

  • Chromosome Numbers in Narcissus Cultivars and Their Significance to the Plant Breeder P.E
    THE PLANTSMAN vol. 14 133-168 CHROMOSOME NUMBERS IN NARCISSUS CULTIVARS AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE TO THE PLANT BREEDER P.E. Brandham OF ALL THE STORIES of the development of modern ornamental culti- vars, that of the genus Narcissus is one of great success, or maybe excess. This is because from the relatively few species and cultivars that were in our gardens 150 years ago many thousands of named cultivars have arisen, of which large numbers are now available to the horti- cultural trade and to specialist growers and breeders. One of the main factors responsible for the establishment of so many Narcissus cultivars is their habit of growth and the way in which they are propagated. Deliberate or accidental cross-pollinations between species or cultivars differing in appearance gave (and continue to give) seeds which germinated to produce fine new forms. These forms are all of hybrid constitution, each carrying an individual combination of homozygous and heterozygous genes which determines its appearance and growth characteristics. Their hybridity prevents the obtaining of uniform offspring through self-pollination or the crossing of similar plants, because the heterozygous genes and gene combinations carried by the parent(s) are re-assorted during gamete formation to give further variation in the progeny. Vegetative propagation is thus the only way to perpetuate each entity in an unchanged state. This is easily achieved in bulbous perennials such as Narcissus through division of the bulb using traditional or more modern methods (micropropa- gation, etc). Consequently, any hybrid of sufficient merit can be des- cribed as a new cultivar very soon after its first flowering, without the necessity for the time-consuming processes of breeding and selection which delay the introduction of cultivars of annual species, sometimes by many years.
