The Status of the Hungarian National Apiaceae Collection Institutional The Status of the Hungarian National Apiaceae Collection László Holly, Zsuzsanna Kollár, Attila Simon Research Centre for Agrobiodiversity, Tápiószele Institutional background The last decade was quite hectic and instable for the activities of PGR in Hungary. Several reorganisation of the national plant gene bank at Tápiószele, the strict cost‐cutting of the budget of the collection holding institutions and the interruption of the funding scheme provided by the Ministry of Agriculture in 2004 brought the national PGR activities in difficult situation. These difficulties caused a serious decline in some collections, especially in case of vegetables. This period was closed by the Ministry’s re‐launching of the grant scheme in 2009. The Ministry of Rural Development provides funding for the maintenance of collections in the frame of a new grant scheme. This financial support is available for all institutions, persons and other organizations carrying out genebank activities if they meet the following requirements: ‐ The applicant should possess unique germplasm, not duplicated in existing germplasm collections. ‐ The material should be made freely available. ‐ A basic set of passport and/or collecting information should be supplied to the National Gene Bank Database managed at the RCAT. ‐ After multiplication of the accessions, the applicants should arrange for long‐term preservation of the material in the National Base Collection. ‐ Supported genetic resources activities should be conducted in accordance with international standards (FAO/IBPGR standards for genebanks, IBPGR descriptor lists). Beside the recovery of the financial background the establishment of the Research Centre for Agrobiodiversity on 1st November 2010 was also a key issue. Research Centre for Agrobiodiversity Tápiószele (RCAT) as an independent institute reporting directly to the Ministry of Rural Development maintained its nation‐wide responsibilities on PGR and acts as the main depository for genetic resources of field and vegetable crops in Hungary. Today the RCAT genebank – working under the international genebank standards ‐ has 46 716 unique accessions maintained in medium‐ and long term storage.

Related to this concept a LIFE + project carried out by RCAT. The „Establishment of the Pannon Seed Bank for the long‐term ex situ conservation of Hungarian vascular wild plants” project was established in 2010 with the co‐financing of the LIFE+ found and the Hungarian Ministry of Rural Development. The coordinating beneficiary of the project is the Research Centre for Agrobiodiversity, associated beneficiaries are the Institute of Ecology and Botany of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Aggtelek National Park Directorate. The main goal of this project is the long‐term seed preservation of the wild vascular flora of the Pannonian biogeographical region. The project aims to achieve this goal through expanding the current functions of the Research Centre for Agrobiodiversity (Tápiószele), having more than fifty‐ years of experience in the conservation of agricultural genetic resources. The establishment of a joint seed bank for the agricultural and wild flora would be a unique and demonstrative example worldwide. It is planned that by the end of the project, approximately 50 percent – at least 800 species – of the species of the wild native flora will be collected. The list contains 59 taxons belonging to the family of Apiaceae(Table 8), the total number of the list is 1 359. During compiling the list of species the main aspects of choosing species were the follows: ‐ storing behaviour of species ‐ taxonomical aspects ‐ determining problem of a certain taxa (easy to determine, or need an expert for identification) ‐ nature conservation status (protected/strictly protected) ‐ rarity and importance of the species ‐ nature conservation value categories of Simon (cultivated and adventiv species were eliminated) Table 8: Apiaceaes from the collecting list of the Pannon Seed Bank project Oenanthe banatica Heuff.

  • The Use of Wild Plants As Food in Pre-Industrial Sweden

The peasants and the nomads in pre-industrial Sweden utilised very few wild plant taxa as food. Many even despised the wild fruits and green plants. Some plants and fruits were earlier mostly eaten fresh on the spot, or gathered for consumption in bread, gruel or soup. Other fruits were dried or preserved in other ways. In times of food shortages the amount of wild plants increased in the diet, but still the peasantry and nomads were often able to use fish and game to provide enough nutrients. With access to cheap sugar in the early 20th century wild fruits (Vaccinium myrtillus L., V. vitis-idaea L., and Rubus chamaemorus L.) increased in importance, especially among urban-dwellers and within food industry. In the last few decades fungi have also become part of the urban diet. Fifty years ago working class people gathered onlyCantharellus cibarius (Fr.) and occasionally Boletus edulis Bull.

  • Apiaceae Systematics
    TAXON 57 (2) • May 2008: 347–364 Winter & al. • Classification of African peucedanoid species APIACEAE SYSTEMATICS A new generic classification for African peucedanoid species (Apiaceae) Pieter J.D. Winter1,2, Anthony R. Magee1, Nonkululo Phephu1, Patricia M. Tilney1, Stephen R. Downie3 & Ben-Erik van Wyk1* 1 Department of Botany and Plant Biotechnology, University of Johannesburg, P.O. Box 524, Auckland Park 2006, Johannesburg, South Africa. *[email protected] (author for correspondence) 2 South African National Biodiversity Institute, Private Bag X101, Pretoria 0001, South Africa 3 Department of Plant Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Illinois 61801, U.S.A. The African species currently residing in Peucedanum L. and associated platyspermous genera are not related to the Eurasian Peucedanum species. As the type of the genus is P. officinale L., which is part of the Eurasian group, a new generic classification is proposed for the African group. The affinities and circumscriptions of two previously enigmatic monotypic genera, Afroligusticum C. Norman and Erythroselinum Chiov., are clari- fied. The former is expanded, while the latter is subsumed into Lefebvrea A. Rich. along with six Peucedanum species. New combinations are formalized for 49 of the 58 species recognised, which are accommodated in six genera, as follows: Afroligusticum (13 spp.), Afrosciadium P.J.D. Winter gen. nov. (18 spp.), Cynorhiza Eckl. & Zeyh. (3 spp.), Lefebvrea (10 spp.), Nanobubon A.R. Magee gen. nov. (2 spp.), and Notobubon B.-E. van Wyk gen. nov. (12 spp.). Ten new synonyms are presented, in Cynorhiza (2), Lefebvrea (6) and Notobubon (2). Diagnostic characters include habit (woody shrubs, perennial herbs or monocarpic herbs), seasonality (evergreen or deciduous), leaf texture and arrangement, inflorescence structure, fruit morphology (size, shape and wing configuration) and fruit anatomy.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships of Plasmopara, Bremia and Other
    Mycol. Res. 108 (9): 1011–1024 (September 2004). f The British Mycological Society 1011 DOI: 10.1017/S0953756204000954 Printed in the United Kingdom. Phylogenetic relationships of Plasmopara, Bremia and other genera of downy mildew pathogens with pyriform haustoria based on Bayesian analysis of partial LSU rDNA sequence data Hermann VOGLMAYR1, Alexandra RIETHMU¨LLER2, Markus GO¨KER3, Michael WEISS3 and Franz OBERWINKLER3 1 Institut fu¨r Botanik und Botanischer Garten, Universita¨t Wien, Rennweg 14, A-1030 Wien, Austria. 2 Fachgebiet O¨kologie, Fachbereich Naturwissenschaften, Universita¨t Kassel, Heinrich-Plett-Strasse 40, D-34132 Kassel, Germany. 3 Lehrstuhl fu¨r Spezielle Botanik und Mykologie, Botanisches Institut, Universita¨tTu¨bingen, Auf der Morgenstelle 1, D-72076 Tu¨bingen, Germany. E-mail : [email protected] Received 28 December 2003; accepted 1 July 2004. Bayesian and maximum parsimony phylogenetic analyses of 92 collections of the genera Basidiophora, Bremia, Paraperonospora, Phytophthora and Plasmopara were performed using nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA sequences containing the D1 and D2 regions. In the Bayesian tree, two main clades were apparent: one clade containing Plasmopara pygmaea s. lat., Pl. sphaerosperma, Basidiophora, Bremia and Paraperonospora, and a clade containing all other Plasmopara species. Plasmopara is shown to be polyphyletic, and Pl. sphaerosperma is transferred to a new genus, Protobremia, for which also the oospore characteristics are described. Within the core Plasmopara clade, all collections originating from the same host family except from Asteraceae and Geraniaceae formed monophyletic clades; however, higher-level phylogenetic relationships lack significant branch support. A sister group relationship of Pl. sphaerosperma with Bremia lactucae is highly supported.
