I am very excited to write my first article as your new PNW District Director. First, I would like to thank Gretchen Humphrey for her outstanding six years as our outgoing Director. I realize I have very large shoes to fill. However, with time and your help, I will learn the ropes. For those of you who do not know me well, I grew up growing rose and have lived in Seattle all of my life. I’ve been mar- ried for 42 years and have three adult children who grow roses, a wonderful daughter-in-law and a son-in-law, and five adorable grandchildren. The three oldest grandchildren grow roses too! Our newest grandchild arrived just before Christmas on December 20th. Everything in our life came to a stop as we were thrust into a new normal. He was born three months early at just 26 weeks ges- tation weighing in at 2 lbs. 1.5 oz. However, Benjamin Christian Barnes is doing just wonderful as I write this. He’s a little fighter and is amazing the staff at Swedish Hospital’s NICU. We had a wonderful Fall Conference, held at the Red Lion on the River, Jantzen Beach, OR. A big thank you goes to Gretchen Humphrey for her dedicated work in making this Conference such a success. Our newly installed ARS President, Robert Martin, was the keynote speaker. He presented a superb PowerPoint presentation on Showing Shrubs. Other presentations were pre- sented by: Steve McCulloch of Mountain Shadow Nursery and Barbara Jensen Founder/President of the Oregon Spirit of ’45 Project which commemorates the WWII generation with the new rose ‘Rosie the Riveter’. Also, Dr. Gary Ritchie spoke about ‘Xylem’, and Gretchen Humphrey presented the ARS “Great Garden Restoration Project” of the ARS Rose Garden in Shreveport, LA. Rich Baer, showed gorgeous roses and John and myself presented a PowerPoint program on our trip to Copenhagen for the 18th World Rose Federation Convention. I would like to thank Dr. Charold Baer and Barbara Lind for spearheading the silent auction which continues to be a huge success. Thank you to everyone who brought an auction item, the societies who contributed a basket, and to those who (Continued on page 2) Winter 2019 Pacific Northwest Rosarian Page 1 (Continued from page 1) made purchases. If you have never attended the Fall Conference “A Weekend of Roses” I strongly suggest you Save the Date for our 2019 weekend of October 25th – 27th, 2019. We will be returning to the ever so popular Heathman Lodge in Vancouver, WA. More information regarding speakers will be found in future issues of Northwest Rosarian. Remember to tell your rose friends about our Fall Conference as you do not need to be an ARS Member to attend. Later this winter your PNW Board of Directors will be making plans for upcoming District events and activities. I strongly encourage you to send me your ideas. My dedicated email for District mail is: [email protected]. I encourage you to email me with suggestions you have for summer activities or speakers for the Fall Conference. What would you like to attend? Who would you like to hear speak? What subject topics would you like presented? This is YOUR District and I would like more people to attend events. Also, I would like to receive contact info from each society in our District especially contact info for your newsletter editor. If you do not use email, you may drop me a note to: 3924 47th Ave S., Seattle, WA 98118-1216. Communication is always appreciated. I look forward to an exciting 2019 full of beautiful blooming roses and meeting more people who have a passion for grow- ing and enjoying roses. There’s a place for everyone in the PNW District and I encourage you to inspire non ARS members to join us.

Likewise, thanks are surely due to all those who work so hard behind the scenes to make the “rose show day” fun for all the participants. We are looking forward to another year of excellent and well-judged rose shows in the PNW District. Horticulture judging audits were held in support of the PNW District Judging Program in 2018. The main audit was, as usual, held at the PNW District Fall Conference in Portland, OR. We hope more people will become interested in joining the ranks of the PNW District judging realms. The requirements for “judging candidates” focuses on experience in rose growing, rose knowledge, and successful rose exhibiting over a period of several years. It is also necessary for candidates to be well-versed in the way in which rose shows are conducted (it varies). More specifically, three of the key requirements (from Chapter 21 of Guidelines) are: Have exhibited in the horticulture sections of at least five ARS accredited rose shows over a period of at least three years. The applicant should have won at least five horticultural blue ribbons and at least two ARS horticultural certificates or equivalent awards. Have worked in at least three rose shows, either as a clerk or in some other capacity, such as show chairperson or clerks’ chairperson that would familiarize the applicant with proper show procedures. Have been a member of the American Rose Society for at least twenty-four months, including the twelve months immedi- ately preceding becoming an apprentice judge. The ARS publishes a manual on judging horticultural exhibits in rose shows: Guidelines for Judging Roses, and a thorough knowledge of this publication is essential if one is to be successful in a judging school. Guidelines is frequently updated and it is wise to start with the most recent version if one is going to begin preparing for a judging school. (The ARS makes Guidelines avail- able to all members as a free download from the “Members Only” portion of their website). Chapter 21 of Guidelines spells out the full list of requirements for apprentice judges. If you have questions about specific details, please just let us (Bruce Lind, Gretchen Humphrey or Jim Linman) know what they are. Our contact information is always included in the Northwest Rosarian. Each year we urge everyone (including ourselves) to dust off their copy of Guidelines to re-study the contents. This will be best if you have the current edition. The date of your edition should now be 2018. As mentioned above, the ARS makes Guidelines available to all members as a free download from the “Members Only” portion of their website. All recent and anticipated changes will be discussed at the audits held in 2019. We had numerous comments on disqualifications as well as many other topics pertaining to the guidelines at our Fall Conference audit. We will have some judges in our district needing an audit in 2019. We have much appreciated the “audit early and audit often” attitude of so many of our PNW judges. It is so much better when there are no crises that need to be handled. We have sent out notices to those due for an audit in 2019 and 2020, so you’ll have some time to plan. Of course, we will arrange for the tradi- tional four-hour audit at the PNW District Fall Conference for full audit credit. There will be other regional audits held if needed. If you have a willingness to serve as a host for an additional audit with roses available, please let us know soon, as we need to clear things with the National ARS Horticulture Judging Chair. Those judges due for an audit in 2019 will have until the end of the year to complete that audit. Just one last reminder to current judges and those who want to become judges: be sure to maintain your status as a mem- ber of the ARS, so keep an eye out for renewal membership notices. If you are not sure of your status, please contact the ARS and ask.

  • Phosphite Sensitivity of Phytophthora Cinnamomi and Methods for Quantifying Phosphite from Avocado Roots
    PHOSPHITE SENSITIVITY OF PHYTOPHTHORA CINNAMOMI AND METHODS FOR QUANTIFYING PHOSPHITE FROM AVOCADO ROOTS by Jing Ma Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Science in AgriSciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. Adéle McLeod March 2016 I Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis/dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. March 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved II Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za SUMMARY Phytophthora root rot caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi threatens the production of avocado worldwide, but the disease can be effectively managed using phosphonates. The mode of action of phosphonates is controversial and can include a direct fungistatic action and/or an indirect action involving host defence responses. In South Africa, in vitro radial growth inhibition studies, which can be indicative of a direct mode of action, have only been conducted on isolates collected in one orchard in previous studies, more than a decade ago. In in vitro studies, phosphate in the test medium can influence the in vitro toxicity of phosphite - (H2PO3 ), but this has not been studied in large P. cinnamomi populations. The in vivo phosphite sensitivity of P. cinnamomi isolates in avocado, which is indicative of host defence responses, has only been investigated in two non-peer reviewed studies in South Africa.

YIELD OF COMMON639 BEAN PLANTS GROWN IN SOILS UNDER LOW OR ADEQUATE PHOSPHATE AVAILABILITY Fosfito como fonte de fósforo para produção de grãos em feijoeiro cultivado em solos sob baixa ou adequada disponibilidade de fosfato Fabricio William Ávila1, Valdemar Faquin2, Douglas Ramos Guelfi Silva2, Carla Elisa Alves Bastos3, Nilma Portela Oliveira2, Danilo Araújo Soares2 ABSTRACT The effects of foliar and soil applied phosphite on grain yield in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) grown in a weathered soil under low and adequate phosphate availability were evaluated. In the first experiment, treatments were composed of a 2 x 7 + 2 factorial scheme, with 2 soil P levels supplied as phosphate (40 e 200 mg P dm-3 soil), 7 soil P levels supplied as phosphite (0-100 mg P dm-3 soil), and 2 additional treatments (without P supply in soil, and all P supplied as phosphite). In the second experiment, treatments were composed of a 2 x 3 x 2 factorial scheme, with 2 soil phosphate levels (40 e 200 mg P dm-3 soil), combined with 3 nutrient sources applied via foliar sprays (potassium phosphite, potassium phosphate, and potassium chloride as a control), and 2 foliar application numbers (single and two application). Additional treatments showed that phosphite is not P source for common bean nutrition. Phosphite supply in soil increased the P content in shoot (at full physiological maturity stage) and grains, but at the same time considerably decreased grain yield, regardless of the soil phosphate availability. Foliar sprays of phosphite decreased grain yield in plants grown under low soil phosphate availability, but no effect was observed in plants grown under adequate soil phosphate availability.

These reactions can proceed in an inter- or intramolecular manner, and with stereoselective induction. Accordingly, they contribute, as the key steps, to numerous synthetic pathways, including the total syntheses of natural products of various classes and to novel strategies leading to medicinally relevant compounds and commercialized drugs. The synthetic feasibility of the Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts in organophosphorus chemistry has been explored to a relatively low extent. In this review, we summarize the current state of the art on the formation of the C-P bond by means of the title reactions. The scope of the processes, the stereochemistry of the products and their further synthetic relevance to obtain multifunctional compounds, including those that are biologically active, are summarized.

  • Biochemical Effects of Phosphite on the Phytopathogenicity of Phytophthora Cinnamomi Rands
    Biochemical effects of phosphite on the phytopathogenicity of Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands by P. M. Stasikowski (MSc) This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological Sciences and Biotechnology Murdoch University Perth, Western Australia 2012 Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. P. M. Stasikowski June, 2012 ii Abstract Phosphite, a chemical analogue of orthophosphate, controls disease symptoms and spread of Oomycete plant pathogens, particularly those caused by Phythophthora spp. Phosphite can be applied to horticultural and native plant species as a foliar spray or trunk injection and results in in planta phosphite concentrations of between 25 - 425 µg g-1 dry weight (equivalent to 0.3 – 6.0 mM). However, despite its extensive use it is not known why phosphite is biostatic towards oomycetes, although several mechanisms have been proposed. This thesis aims to devise and test a biochemical model of phosphite action that could account for the observed effects of phosphite on the interaction between Phytophthora cinnamomi and a susceptible plant host. However, prior to this it was necessary to devise a test to assess the concentration of phosphite in planta and to establish that phosphite needs to be present at the plant /pathogen interface in order to have an effect. A silver nitrate staining method was developed and its ability to detect phosphite was assessed in a variety of native Australian and horticultural plants. The method demonstrated that phosphite concentrations of between 1 and 3 mM were present in the tips of the roots of lupins that had been foliar sprayed with 0.5 % phosphite (equivalent to 62 mM) and that in most instances, these concentrations were sufficient to completely control the development of disease symptoms.

Graham University of Florida, CREC, 700 Experiment Station Road, Lake Alfred, FL 33850, USA (Received for publication 10 February 2011; accepted in revised form 8 August 2011) [email protected] Abstract 3- Phosphite (PO3 ) is well known for its ability to induce pathogen and host-mediated resistance to Phytophthora spp. in a wide range of plants. This review addresses how phosphite moves in citrus trees, fate of phosphite when applied to soil, how phosphite controls Phytophthora infection of citrus tissues, phosphites as fungicides for control of Phytophthora diseases in citrus and their applicability for management of Phytophthora species on forest trees. Experimental data from citrus is presented to illustrate these properties. As an example, phosphite is rapidly taken up by leaves and highly systemic enabling phosphite applied to the tree canopy to move to fruit and provide protection against citrus brown rot of fruit caused by Phytophthora palmivora (Butler) Butler for several months after application. Foliar-applied phosphite also moves readily to the trunk and roots for control of collar and root rot caused by P. nicotianae Breda de Haan for several weeks after application. Soil application of phosphite is more effective for control of root rot than foliar applications due to higher concentrations of phosphite in roots, but soil-applied phosphite may be oxidised to phosphate by soil bacteria before root uptake.

Received: 12 September 2018; Accepted: 19 October 2018; Published: 1 November 2018 Abstract: Two new uranyl compounds were hydrothermally synthesized employing piperazine as an organic templating agent. The piperazine was protonated in-situ by phosphorous acid, forming the piperazinium dication featured in these compounds. The two new structures presented here are a uranyl phosphite 2D sheet and a 3D uranyl mixed phosphite–phosphate network with cation occupied channels. Both included strong hydrogen bonding from the piperazinium cation to the uranyl phosphite or mixed phosphite–phosphate network. These two structures can be reliably formed through careful control of pH of the starting solution and the reaction duration. The piperazinium uranyl phosphite compound was the latest in a family of uranyl phosphites, and demonstrates the structural versatility of this combination.
