    Diversity, Knowledge, and Valuation of Plants Used As Fermentation Starters

    He et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2019) 15:20 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-019-0299-y RESEARCH Open Access Diversity, knowledge, and valuation of plants used as fermentation starters for traditional glutinous rice wine by Dong communities in Southeast Guizhou, China Jianwu He1,2,3, Ruifei Zhang1,2, Qiyi Lei4, Gongxi Chen3, Kegang Li3, Selena Ahmed5 and Chunlin Long1,2,6* Abstract Background: Beverages prepared by fermenting plants have a long history of use for medicinal, social, and ritualistic purposes around the world. Socio-linguistic groups throughout China have traditionally used plants as fermentation starters (or koji) for brewing traditional rice wine. The objective of this study was to evaluate traditional knowledge, diversity, and values regarding plants used as starters for brewing glutinous rice wine in the Dong communities in the Guizhou Province of China, an area of rich biological and cultural diversity. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were administered for collecting ethnobotanical data on plants used as starters for brewing glutinous rice wine in Dong communities. Field work was carried out in three communities in Guizhou Province from September 2017 to July 2018. A total of 217 informants were interviewed from the villages. Results: A total of 60 plant species were identified to be used as starters for brewing glutinous rice wine, belonging to 58 genera in 36 families. Asteraceae and Rosaceae are the most represented botanical families for use as a fermentation starter for rice wine with 6 species respectively, followed by Lamiaceae (4 species); Asparagaceae, Menispermaceae, and Polygonaceae (3 species respectively); and Lardizabalaceae, Leguminosae, Moraceae, Poaceae, and Rubiaceae (2 species, respectively).

    WELCOME TO THE ALPINE GARDEN SOCIETY’S 60th SEED LIST 2011-12 Please read through these notes and also the notes on the back of the order forms before completing the forms. The main distribution will begin in December and will continue into the new year. The seeds offered originate from various sources and cannot be guaranteed true to name. Neither The Alpine Garden Society nor any official of the Society can be held responsible for what is supplied. Members are reminded that named cultivars and hybrids cannot be relied upon to come true, and plants raised from seed from cultivars should not be labelled with the names of those cultivars. Seeds of many species are in short supply and we can never have enough to meet all requests. Members who request very rare or popular species must realise that they are likely to be disappointed and are advised to spread their requests throughout a variety of seeds on the list. Surplus seeds are those remaining after all applications for main distribution seeds have been met. Please see the notes on the back of the order form for futher information. On-line ordering will again be offered this year. You will be able to view the seed list, make your selections, order and pay for your seed order on line. We will take care to ensure parity between on line ordering and postal ordering so neither system will get priority. Please go to http://www.alpinegardensociety.net/seed/exchange/ and follow the instructions on the page. Overseas Members: Members outside the UK and the EU are reminded that most countries restrict the import of some species.

Ngondya*, Anna C. Treydte, Patrick A. Ndakidemi, Linus K. Munishi 1Department of Sustainable Agriculture, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Management, School of Life Sciences and Bio-Engineering. The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology, Arusha, Tanzania Article published on March 31, 2017 Key words: Competition, Allelopathy, Weeds, IPM, Mowing Abstract Over decades invasive plants have been exerting negative pressure on native vascular plant’s and hence devastating the stability and productivity of the receiving ecosystem. These effects are usually irreversible if appropriate strategies cannot be taken immediately after invasion, resulting in high cost of managing them both in rangelands and farmlands. With time, these non-edible plant species will result in a decreased grazing or browsing area and can lead to local extinction of native plants and animals due to decreased food availability. Management of invasive weeds has been challenging over years as a result of increasingly failure of chemical control as a method due to evolution of resistant weeds, higher cost of using chemical herbicide and their effects on the environment. While traditional methods such as timely uprooting and cutting presents an alternative for sustainable invasive weeds management they have been associated with promotion of germination of undesired weeds due to soil disturbance. The fact that chemical and traditional methods for invasive weed management are increasing failing nature based invasive plants management approaches such as competitive facilitation of the native plants and the use of other plant species with allelopathic effects can be an alternative management approach.

Alstroemerieae is an exclusively Central and South American tribe belonging to Alstroemeriaceae, which comprises two large genera, Alstroemeria and Bomarea. Alstroemeria has two areas of distribution, mediterranean Chile and central southeastern Brazil. Most Bomarea species grow in forests and hedges in moist areas, however, some species are adapted to dry Andean valleys and high altitudes. Previous leaf anatomical data were obtained from a limited group of species. To assess the value of the anatomical characters for the systematics and their importance as adaptations to diff erent environments, we compared representative species from diff erent geographical areas and habitats. Data regarding leaf anatomy and micromorphology were obtained from light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy and were combined with macromorphology for 27 Alstroemerieae species.

San Martín 4453, 1417, Buenos Aires, Argentina; e-mail: [email protected] (corresponding author), [email protected] 2 Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) Abstract Tagetes pauciloba, a species previously included in the synonymy of T. filifolia, is reinstated as a distinct species, and T. mendocina is placed in the synonymy of T. pauciloba. An epitype of T. pauciloba is designated. A revised morphological description of T. pauciloba is presented, including the presence of gemmiferous roots noted for the first time in Argentinian species of Tagetes. Distribution of T. pauciloba and T. filifolia in Argentina is mapped. A key to distinguish T. pauciloba from its Argentinian congeners with perennial habit is provided. Keywords: Asteraceae; Tageteae; Tagetes; Taxonomy Introduction Tagetes Linnaeus (1753: 887) is an American genus with a continuous distribution from southwestern United States to central Chile and northern Patagonia in Argentina (Neher 1966, Gutiérrez & Stampacchio 2015, Schiavinato et al. 2017). According to Soule (1996), its greatest species richness was recorded in Mexico; however, there is another diversity center in Argentina, were 12 species occur (Gutiérrez & Stampacchio 2015, Schiavinato et al. 2017). Tagetes filifolia Lagasca (1816: 28) was originally described as an annual herb from Mexico.

In its native range in East Asia, CMBS is a serious threat to crapemyrtles, persimmons, and pomegranate plants. In the U.S., it is an emerging pest that threatens crapemyrtle production and land- scape use. This is a matter of concern because Fig. 1. A crapemyrtle plant infested crapemyrtle is the highest selling flowering with crapemyrtle bark scale. tree—5 million plants with a combined value of $67M were sold in 2014.
