Notes on Identification Works and Difficult and Under-Recorded Taxa
Notes on identification works and difficult and under-recorded taxa P.A. Stroh, D.A. Pearman, F.J. Rumsey & K.J. Walker Contents Introduction 2 Identification works 3 Recording species, subspecies and hybrids for Atlas 2020 6 Notes on individual taxa 7 List of taxa 7 Widespread but under-recorded hybrids 31 Summary of recent name changes 33 Definition of Aggregates 39 1 Introduction The first edition of this guide (Preston, 1997) was based around the then newly published second edition of Stace (1997). Since then, a third edition (Stace, 2010) has been issued containing numerous taxonomic and nomenclatural changes as well as additions and exclusions to taxa listed in the second edition. Consequently, although the objective of this revised guide hast altered and much of the original text has been retained with only minor amendments, many new taxa have been included and there have been substantial alterations to the references listed. We are grateful to A.O. Chater and C.D. Preston for their comments on an earlier draft of these notes, and to the Biological Records Centre at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology for organising and funding the printing of this booklet.

Influence of Abiotic and Biotic Stress on Plant Growth Parameters and Quality of Specialty Crops
24th International Symposium of the International Scientific Centre of Fertilizers Plant nutrition and fertilizer issues for specialty crops Coimbra (Portugal), September 6-8, 2016 Influence of abiotic and biotic stress on plant growth parameters and quality of specialty crops Elke Bloem1*, Silvia Haneklaus1, Maik Kleinwächter2, Jana Paulsen2, Dirk Selmar2, Ewald Schnug1 1Institute for Crop and Soil Science, Julius Kühn-Institut (JKI), Bundesallee 50, 38116 Braunschweig, Germany, mail*: [email protected] 2Institute for Applied Plant Science, Technical University Braunschweig, Mendelssohnstraße 4, 38106 Braunschweig Plants under stress react with changes in their primary and secondary metabolism which directly can affect quality aspects. Many herbs and spices develop a stronger aroma and taste under Mediterranean in comparison to humid climate. Reasons are most likely moderate drought stress in combination with a higher UV irradiation. In the current research the hypothesis was tested if it is possible to increase valuable plant ingredients by applying controlled stress conditions. Crops from different plant families which contain secondary plant metabolites from different classes were tested. Test crops were thyme (Thymus vulgaris), greater celandine (Chelidonium majus), nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus), parsley (Petroselinum crispum), and St John´s wort (Hypericum perforatum). With these plants the following classes of secondary plant compounds could be investigated in response to stress: essential oils, alkaloids, glucosinolates, polyphenoles, and hypericine. Stress parameters that were applied to the plants in pot experiments were drought, salt stress and the simulation of biotic stress by application of the phytohormones methyljasmonate (MeJA) or salicylate (SA). Both phytohormones are involved in pathogen defense. Plants were harvested at different growth stages and a selection of stress parameter and secondary plant compounds as well as the biomass development was recorded. -

April 3, 2020 Theodore Payne Foundation’s Wild Flower Hotline is made possible by donations, memberships and sponsors. You can support TPF by shopping the online gift store as well. A new, pay by phone, contactless plant pickup system is now available. Details here. It is important to note that driving to a wild flower viewing site is now very difficult. There are strict closures of entry roads, parking lots, restrooms, picnic areas and some trails in addition to Visitor Centers and campgrounds at National, State and County parks and reserves. In most cases you need to be a local resident to enter trails that are still accessible to foot or bicycle visitors. If you are out on trails, please practice social distancing precautions. Situations change quickly, so it is advised that you check on websites before venturing out. A list of some web links appears at the end of the report. That said, the weather has been cool so the blooms of last week are still mostly intact. In the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, parking lots and other amenities at trailheads are closed, but the park remains accessible to local day-use walkers, hikers and bicyclists. The National Park Service urges all visitors to follow social distancing protocols. Please avoid crowding or gathering on trails. Speaking of access to locals, a resident of the Santa Monica Mountains who lives on Stunt Rd. near the Stunt Ranch, was able to walk across the street and enter one of the small trails that eventually leads to the popular Backbone Trail. -

GENOME EVOLUTION in MONOCOTS a Dissertation
GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School At the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Kate L. Hertweck Dr. J. Chris Pires, Dissertation Advisor JULY 2011 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS Presented by Kate L. Hertweck A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Dr. J. Chris Pires Dr. Lori Eggert Dr. Candace Galen Dr. Rose‐Marie Muzika ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many people for their assistance during the course of my graduate education. I would not have derived such a keen understanding of the learning process without the tutelage of Dr. Sandi Abell. Members of the Pires lab provided prolific support in improving lab techniques, computational analysis, greenhouse maintenance, and writing support. Team Monocot, including Dr. Mike Kinney, Dr. Roxi Steele, and Erica Wheeler were particularly helpful, but other lab members working on Brassicaceae (Dr. Zhiyong Xiong, Dr. Maqsood Rehman, Pat Edger, Tatiana Arias, Dustin Mayfield) all provided vital support as well. I am also grateful for the support of a high school student, Cady Anderson, and an undergraduate, Tori Docktor, for their assistance in laboratory procedures. Many people, scientist and otherwise, helped with field collections: Dr. Travis Columbus, Hester Bell, Doug and Judy McGoon, Julie Ketner, Katy Klymus, and William Alexander. Many thanks to Barb Sonderman for taking care of my greenhouse collection of many odd plants brought back from the field. -
Full of Beans: a Study on the Alignment of Two Flowering Plants Classification Systems
Full of beans: a study on the alignment of two flowering plants classification systems Yi-Yun Cheng and Bertram Ludäscher School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA {yiyunyc2,ludaesch}@illinois.edu Abstract. Advancements in technologies such as DNA analysis have given rise to new ways in organizing organisms in biodiversity classification systems. In this paper, we examine the feasibility of aligning two classification systems for flowering plants using a logic-based, Region Connection Calculus (RCC-5) ap- proach. The older “Cronquist system” (1981) classifies plants using their mor- phological features, while the more recent Angiosperm Phylogeny Group IV (APG IV) (2016) system classifies based on many new methods including ge- nome-level analysis. In our approach, we align pairwise concepts X and Y from two taxonomies using five basic set relations: congruence (X=Y), inclusion (X>Y), inverse inclusion (X<Y), overlap (X><Y), and disjointness (X!Y). With some of the RCC-5 relationships among the Fabaceae family (beans family) and the Sapindaceae family (maple family) uncertain, we anticipate that the merging of the two classification systems will lead to numerous merged solutions, so- called possible worlds. Our research demonstrates how logic-based alignment with ambiguities can lead to multiple merged solutions, which would not have been feasible when aligning taxonomies, classifications, or other knowledge or- ganization systems (KOS) manually. We believe that this work can introduce a novel approach for aligning KOS, where merged possible worlds can serve as a minimum viable product for engaging domain experts in the loop. Keywords: taxonomy alignment, KOS alignment, interoperability 1 Introduction With the advent of large-scale technologies and datasets, it has become increasingly difficult to organize information using a stable unitary classification scheme over time. -

Glucosinolate Survey of Cultivated and Feral Mashua (Tropaeolum tuberosum Ruíz & Pavón) in the Cuzco Region of Peru. Economic Botany xx):xxx–xxx, 2006. Glucosinolates (GSL) present in cultivated and feral accessions of mashua (Tropaeolum tuberosum Ruíz & Pavón) were identified and quan- tified by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis. The main glucosino- lates detected were aromatic: 4–Hydroxybenzyl GSL (OHB, Glucosinalbin), Benzyl GSL (B, Glucotropaeolin), and m–Methoxybenzyl GSL (MOB, Glucolimnathin). The total amount of GSL observed ranged from 0.27 to 50.74 micromols per gram (Mol/g) of dried tuber tissue. Most of the low-content GSL accessions are distributed within the cultivated population with a total GSL concentration lower than 5.00 Mol/g of dried tuber tissue. The highest total and specific GSL (OHB, B, and MOB) contents (more than 25.00 Mol/g of dried tuber tissue) were observed in the feral population with few exceptions. -
