Plant Inventory No. 209 Is the Official Listing of Plant Materials Accepted Into the U.S United States Department of Agriculture Plant Inventory Agricultural Research Service No. 209 Plant Materials Introduced in 2000 (Nos. 612387 - 615161) Foreword Plant Inventory No. 209 is the official listing of plant materials accepted into the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) between January 1 and December 31, 2000 and includes PI 612387 to PI 615161. The NPGS is managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS). The information on each accession is essentially the information provided with the plant material when it was obtained by the NPGS. The information on an accession in the NPGS database may change as additional knowledge is obtained. The Germplasm Resources Information Network (http://www.ars-grin.gov/npgs/index.html) is the database for the NPGS and should be consulted for the current accession and evaluation information and to request germplasm. While the USDA/ARS attempts to maintain accurate information on all NPGS accessions, it is not responsible for the quality of the information it has been provided. For questions about this volume, contact the USDA/ARS/National Germplasm Resources Laboratory/Database Management Unit: dbmu@ars-grin.gov The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in its programs on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, political beliefs and marital or familial status.

  • Northstar Fire Department, Fire Resistant Landscaping Plant List
    Northstar Fire Department, Fire Resistant Landscaping Plant List Many common plants naturally resist fire and can even slow its spread. In general, irrigated and well maintained leafy plants burn slowly. By replacing highly flammable vegetation with these fire resistant recommended species, you can significantly improve the statistical survivability of your home when a wildfire threatens. Courtesy of the “Villager Nursery” in Truckee, this list of fire resistive plants should be considered when enhancing or adding landscape. Here are some other key components to remember when selecting appropriate fire resistant landscaping plants. Choose plants that don’t produce much litter such as dead branches and twigs Plants that produce oils, resins or waxes should be avoided When planting from the approved list, appropriately space plants to prevent fire spread Never plant under conifer trees, this can create a ladder effect which allows smaller ground fires the ability to transfer into larger trees creating crown fires To help ensure their fire resistance, plants must be maintained, watered, and pruned. Routine care will provide you with an attractive defensible space landscape and help ensure the survival of your property in the event of a wildfire. Northstar Fire Department enforces both State and District fire codes that may directly affect your landscape. Northstar Fire Department recommends that prior to changing your landscape you consult with us in order to make sure your property will be compliant with applicable fire codes. Trees Common Name Scientific Name Please note that there Apple Malus spp. may be other vegetative Bigtooth Maple Acer grandidentatum species that are Cherry Prunus spp.

A. Khan 2 1 Head, Dept. of Geography. B.D. Todi College, Lachhmangarh (Sikar), India 2Deputy Director, Department of Minority Affairs, GoR, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India Abstract: Industrial Potential means anything that may be a possibility; potentially and existing in possibility, not in actuality and being potent. Industrial or economic potential is determined by the quantity of labor resources and the quality of their vocational training by the volume of production capacities of Industrial and construction organizations, by the production capacities of agriculture, by the extent of transportation arteries, by the development of sectors in the non-production sphere by advances in science and technology and by the resources of explored mineral deposits. Resources have the most vital role in the development of a region. The main resources of study area which have great significance for industrial development are minerals, agriculture and livestock. Water and electricity provides basis for Industrial development. However, the area has good potential for agro based, mineral based and livestock based industries. As Sikar enjoys the benefits of surplus agricultural production and large number of livestock, it would be worthwhile to propose few agro based and livestock industrial units. Limestone is also being exploited so, there is scope of cement and others industries. This paper describes a strategic plan for development of Industries and its potential in Sikar district.

    Indonesian Journal of Life Sciences Vol. 02 | Number 02 | September (2020) http://journal.i3l.ac.id/ojs/index.php/IJLS/ REVIEW ARTICLE A Review of Botany, Phytochemical, and Pharmacological Effects of Dysphania ambrosioides Lavisiony Gracius Hewis1, Giovanni Batista Christian Daeli1, Kenjiro Tanoto1, Carlos1, Agnes Anania Triavika Sahamastuti1* 1Pharmacy study program, Indonesia International Institute for Life-sciences, Jakarta, Indonesia *corresponding author. Email: antonagnessumapro@gmail.com ABSTRACT Traditional medicine is widely used worldwide due to its benefits and healthier components that these natural herbs provide. Natural products are substances produced or retrieved from living organisms found in nature and often can exert biological or pharmacological activity, thus making them a potential alternative for synthetic drugs. Natural products, especially plant-derived products, have been known to possess many beneficial effects and are widely used for the treatment of various diseases and conditions. Dysphania ambrosioides is classified as an annual or short-lived perennial herb commonly found in Central and South America with a strong aroma and a hairy characteristic. Major components in this herb are ascaridole, p-cymene, α-terpinene, terpinolene, carvacrol, and trans-isoascaridole. Active compounds isolated from this herb are found to exert various pharmacological effects including schistosomicidal, nematicidal, antimalarial, antileishmanial, cytotoxic, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant, anticancer, and antibiotic modulatory activity. This review summarizes the phytochemical compounds found in the Dysphania ambrosioides, together with their pharmacological and toxicological effects. Keywords: Dysphania ambrosioides; phytochemicals; pharmacological effect; secondary metabolites; toxicity INTRODUCTION pharmacologically-active compound, morphine, Natural products have been used by a wide was isolated from plants by Serturner spectrum of populations to alleviate and treat (Krishnamurti & Rao, 2016).

  • Notes on <I>Atriplex, Oxybasis</I> and <I>Dysphania</I
    Plant Ecology and Evolution 149 (2): 249–256, 2016 http://dx.doi.org/10.5091/plecevo.2016.1181 SHORT COMMUNICATION Notes on Atriplex, Oxybasis and Dysphania (Chenopodiaceae) in West-Central Tropical Africa Alexander P. Sukhorukov1,*, Maria Kushunina2 & Filip Verloove3 1Department of Higher Plants, Biological Faculty, Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119234, Moscow, Russian Federation 2Department of Plant Physiology, Biological Faculty, Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119234, Moscow, Russian Federation 3Botanic Garden Meise, Nieuwelaan 38, BE-1860 Meise, Belgium *Author for correspondence: suchor@mail.ru Background and aims – The indigenous representatives of Chenopodiaceae in tropical Africa are still insufficiently studied. Some genera, especially Atriplex L., Oxybasis Kar. & Kir. and Dysphania R.Br. (subfam. Chenopodioideae), are difficult to diagnose and are often confused with other native or alien taxa. Methods – The morphological characters of Atriplex, Oxybasis and Dysphania were reviewed using speci- mens from the herbaria B, BM, BR, BRLU, E, G, K, LE, MHA, MW, P, and W. Key results – A new species Atriplex congolensis Sukhor. is described from the highlands of D.R.Congo and illustrated. It was previously cited as A. hastata L. (now A. prostrata Boucher ex DC.) and is the only species of Atriplex sect. Teutliopsis Dumort. emend. Sukhor. in tropical Africa. A morphological comparison of all Atriplex representatives encountered in Africa (A. chenopodioides Batt., A. congolensis Sukhor., A. davisii Aellen, A. nilotica Sukhor., A. patula L., A. prostrata Boucher ex DC., and A. verreauxii Moq.) is provided. All records of the rare native Dysphania congolana (Hauman) Mosyakin & Clemants in mountainous tropical Africa are mapped using previously known and re-identified locations.
