It is being submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or any other examination in any other University. ______________________ ______ day of ______________________ 20_____ ii ABSTRACT Introduced plants will lose interactions with natural enemies, mutualists and competitors from their native ranges, and possibly gain interactions with new species, under new abiotic conditions in their new environment. The use of biocontrol agents is based on the premise that introduced species are liberated from their natural enemies, although in some cases introduced species may not become invasive because they acquire novel natural enemies. In this study I consider the potential for the biocontrol of Bryophyllum delagoense, a Madagascan endemic, and hypothesize as to why this plant is invasive in Australia and not in South Africa. Of the 33 species of insects collected on B. delagoense in Madagascar, three species, Osphilia tenuipes, Eurytoma bryophylli, and Rhembastus sp. showed potential as biocontrol agents in Australia.

World needs more and more energy. Increase in population also increases demand for energy and world is always looking for new energetic solutions that would ensure adequate global energy supply. There are also times when global energy demand is experiencing decline (global financial crisis, global recession) but these are only temporary happenings, and once they finish hunger for more energy is even bigger than it was before these temporary situations. Renewable energy sector has one very big advantage over fossil fuels, the fact that it is highly ecologically acceptable compared to fossil fuels. Because renewable energy sources release very little CO2 emissions into atmosphere compared to fossil fuels as the convincingly biggest pollutants. Renewable energy sector should be heavily building on this big advantage to ensure energy dominance in coming years.

(CIATEJ), Av. Normalistas No. 800, Col. Colinas de la Normal, Guadalajara, Jalisco, México The ability to regenerate a plant from a single cell is known as totipotency, and such phenomenon occurs not only in in vitro tissue and cell culture but in specialized somatic cells that are part of whole plants in ex vitro natural conditions, constituting this asexual or vegetative processes their only means of reproduction [1]. A large number of studies have been conducted in order to understand the mechanisms by which shoots, plantlets and vegetative propagules are produced. According to the first studies reported by Yarbrough [2, 3], in the fern species Camptosorus rhizophyllus (which has two different kinds of leaves), shoots are produced at the tip of long acuminate leaves, while in the species Tolmiea menziesii shoots are originated in a notch near the junction of the petiole and the leaf blade; in both cases, the shoots are produced from meristematic tissue and once they are mature are naturally detached from the leaf and fall to the ground originating a new plant.

    Kalanchoe Daigremoniana - Mother of Thousands Plant

    Kalanchoe daigremoniana - Mother of Thousands plant: From Wikipedia: Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae [Angiosperms; Eudicots; Core eudicots] Order: Saxifragales Family: Crassulaceae Genus: Kalanchoe Section: Bryophyllum Species: K. daigremontiana Binomial name: Kalanchoe daigremontiana Raym.- Hamet & H.Perrier Synonyms Bryophyllum daigremontianum Raym.-Hamet & H.Perrie Common names: Devil's Backbone, Alligator Plant, Mexican Hat Plant, Mother of Thousands. Mother of Thousands is a succulent plant native to Madagascar. This plant is distinguished by its ability to propagate via vegetative propagation. All parts of the plant are poisonous, which can even be fatal if ingested by infants or small pets. Plants of the genus Kalanchoe able to propagate vegetatively are often included in section Bryophyllum, therefore Kalanchoe daigremontiana Hamet & Perrier is synonymously called Bryophyllum daigremontianum (Hamet & Perrier) Berger. (Some botanists consider Bryophyllum a distinct genus.) Plants reach up to 1 m (3 feet) tall with opposite, fleshy oblong-lanceolate "leaves" that reach 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) long and about 3.2 cm (1.25 inches) wide. These are medium green above and blotched with purple underneath. The margins of these leaf-like organs have spoon-shaped bulbiliferous spurs that bear young plants. The plantlets form roots while on the plant. The "leaves" are actually short, determinate, leaf-like branches that can be termed phylloclades or cladodes. Adult plants can also develop lateral root structures on its main stalk, as high up as 10-15 cm from the ground. The plant has several nodes with two or three leaves on each node. The upper leaves of the plant tend to develop into disproportionately large structures, causing the main stalk to bend downwards and the lateral roots to take up root of their own, anchoring into the soil and eventually developing new primary stalks which establish themselves as independent plants.

    Wildland Weeds WINTER/SPRING 2012 Want to Hunt Down Invasive Plants in Your Forest? There’s an App for That… USDA Forest Service Research and Development Announces New Invasive Plants iPhone App On February 1, USDA Forest Service Research and Development at the Southern Research Station (SRS) Director Rob Doudrick announced the release of the first version of a new iPhone/iPad app designed to help southern forest land owners and managers identify and manage nonnative invasive plants in the field. This is the first ever iPhone/ iPad application developed by the world’s largest forest research organization, USDA Forest Service Research and Development. Funded by a grant from the SRS Insects, Diseases and Invasive Plants unit, the University of Georgia’s Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health (also known as Bugwood) developed the app, which is based on the popular SRS publication A Field Guide for the Identification of Invasive Plants in Southern Forests and a companion management guide. “Jim Miller, who is lead author for both of the source publications, is one of the foremost authorities on invasive plants in the South,” said Doudrick. “We’re proud to offer this free app, called appropriately Invasive Plants in Southern Forests, as another of our efforts to reach specific users who can more readily identify and learn about invasive plants.” To download the free app, go to the Apple iTunes store and search for “invasive plants in southern forests” or go directly to http://itunes.apple.com/app/invasive-plants-in-southern/id495852751?mt=8 Provide comments at the iTunes Website or contact Chuck Bargeron at Bugwood at [email protected].

The results confirmed that sequences retrieved from Asian Kalanchoe powdery mildew have 100% congruence with sequences obtained from Erysiphe sedi on Sedum spp. A German collection of P. kalanchoes on Kalanchoe blossfeldiana was morphologically and genetically examined and analyzed and is designated as neotype with an ex-neotype reference sequence. Morphologically, the asexual morph on Kalanchoe spp. agrees with the asexual morph of E. sedi. Consequently, P. kalanchoes is reduced to synonymy with E. sedi. Key words —Erysiphales, “Oidium calanchoeae,” phylogeny Introduction Lüstner (1935) introduced the name “Oidium calanchoeae” for an asexual powdery mildew on Kalanchoe sp. (very probably K. blossfeldiana Poelln.) from Germany. He failed to present the Latin description or diagnosis required by ICN (Shenzhen) Art. 39.1, making his binomial invalid; and his epithet “calanchoeae” required a twofold correction, to kalanchoes, an orthography based on the accepted name of the host genus (ICN Art.

Specifically, it is a hybrid species that resulted from hybridization between two different species, namely, Kalanchoe daigremontiana and Kalanchoe laxiflora. The DNA sequences of this species are not yet available in GenBank but are important for its rapid identification. Therefore, this study aimed to isolate and analyze five DNA barcode sequences, i.e., 26S rRNA, internal transcribed spacer (ITS), trnL-trnL-trnF intergenic spacer (IGS), ndhC-trnV IGS, and rpl16 intron, of the nothospecies Kalanchoe × laetivirens. Plant samples were collected from Pekanbaru City, Riau Province, Indonesia. The DNA sequences of 26S rRNA, ITS, trnL-trnL- trnF IGS, ndhC-trnV IGS, and rpl16 intron were obtained with lengths of 898, 684, 908, 954, and 937 bp, respectively, and registered in the GenBank database with the registration numbers MW286359, MW286360, MW286361, MW286362, and MW286363, respectively. BLASTn analysis on four DNA barcodes, except for ITS, showed that Kalanchoe × laetivirens had the highest similarity to K. daigremontiana with an identity value of 97.25%–99.90%, query cover of 100%, and E value of 0.0.
