wild goose plum Prunus hortulana Kingdom: Plantae FEATURES Division/Phylum: Magnoliophyta Wild goose plum is a small tree that may attain a Class: Magnoliopsida height of 20 feet and a trunk diameter of eight Order: Rosales inches. Its gray or brown bark becomes scaly at maturity. Twigs are slender, red-brown and smooth. Family: Rosaceae The ovoid, red-brown buds are about one-fourth ILLINOIS STATUS inch in length. Leaves are arranged alternately along the stem. These simple, oblong to oval leaves may common, native be as much as six inches long and two inches wide. Each leaf is finely-toothed along the edges. Each tooth has a gland at its tip. The leaf is green and smooth on the upper surface and pale and sometimes hairy on the lower surface. Flowers develop in clusters, up to one inch wide. The five- petaled, white flowers appear after the leaves are partly grown. The fruit is a drupe (a seed enclosed in a hard, dry material that in turn is covered with a fleshy material). The drupe is nearly spherical and up to one inch in diameter. This red, fleshy fruit is hard, bitter and contains one seed.

The usefulness of random amplified microsatellite polymorphism markers to study the genetic diversity and relationships among cultivars belonging to Prunus salicina and P. domestica and their wild relatives (P. insititia and P. spinosa) was investigated. A total of 226 of 234 bands were polymorphic (96.58%). The 226 random amplified microsatellite polymorphism markers were screened using 15 random amplified polymorphic DNA and inter-simple sequence repeat primers combinations for 54 Tunisian plum accessions. The percentage of polymorphic bands (96.58%), the resolving power of primers values (135.70), and the polymorphic information content demonstrated the efficiency of the primers used in this study. The genetic distances between accessions ranged from 0.18 to 0.79 with a mean of 0.24, suggesting a high level of genetic diversity at the intra- and interspecific levels.

Plums on the Prairies by Rick Sawatzky
Plums on the Prairies by Rick Sawatzky Information from Literature Much has been published about pollination, pollinators, pollinizers, fertilization and fruit set in text books and periodicals. The definitions are not difficult. Pollination is the movement of pollen among compatible flowering plants (cross-pollination) or from anthers to stigmas on the same plant or different plants of the same clone (self-pollination). Many plants will self-pollinate but set very few fruit; some authors consider them self- pollinating but they are definitely not self-fruitful. Self-fruitful plants (and clones) set a crop of fruit after self-pollination; some of these plants bear fruit with no seeds (parthenocarpy); others develop seeds with embryos that are genetically identical to the parent plant (apomixis); and others produce haploid seeds that develop from an unfertilized egg cell. (When haploid seeds germinate they are very weak seedlings with only half the chromosomes of normal seedlings.) Regarding temperate zone tree fruits, self-pollination and fruit set does not mean self-fertility and the development of normal seeds. Many temperate zone small fruit species (e.g. strawberries and raspberries) are self-fertile and develop maximum yields of fruit with normal seeds as the result of self-pollination by insects. Pollinators, usually insects, are vectors of pollen movement. Pollinizers are plants which provide the appropriate pollen for other plants. Fertilization is the process in which gametes from the pollen unite with egg cells in the ovary of the flower. Normal seeds are usually the result of this process. Also, the principles are easily understood. Poor fertilization in plums and other Prunus species results in a poor fruit set. -
Vegetation Structure of a Secondary Grassland at a Line Corridor in Fukuchi Mountain System, Northern Kyushu
Bull. Kitakyushu Mas. Nat. Hist., 16: 113-135. March 28, 1997 Vegetation Structure of a Secondary Grassland at a Line Corridor in Fukuchi Mountain System, Northern Kyushu Tohru Manabe1, Kazuaki Naito2 and Nobukazu Nakagoshi3 'Kitakyushu Museum and Institute of Natural History, Nishihonmachi 3, Yahatahigashiku, Kitakyushu 805, Japan 2Department ofAnimal Production, Chugoku National Agricultural Experiment Station, Kawai-Cho, Oda, Shimane 694, Japan 3Faculty of Integrated Arts and Sciences, Hiroshima University, Higashi-Hiroshima 739, Japan (Received December 5, 1996) Abstract Vegetation structure was studied at a line corridor which has been formed and maintained as fire prevention belt by periodic mowing at the ridge of a mountain system, northern Kyushu. Grassland herbs were dominant, although forest herbs which usually grow on forest floor occurred at the corridor. The grassland at the corridor was identified phytosociologically as Bupleuro-Miscanthetum sinensis belonging to Arundinello-Miscanthion sinensis alliance. The corridor was classified as trough corridor, because its vegetation height was lower than that of the adjacent matrix. The corridor was composed of various kind of tessera which were brought by many types of landscape element at the adjacent matrix, microtopography and surface geology at the corridor. Those tessera were distributed heterogeniously over the corridor. Distribu tion patterns of the plant species within the corridor were also affected by those of the tessera. Thus, this narrow line corridor had the function of habitat for many grassland herbs which are becoming rare. And variety of the tessera brought about variety of landscape structure generated high composition diversity of the plant species at the corridor. Introduction Secondary grasslands, which were one of the main landscape element types (Forman and Godron, 1986), had been maintained by mowing and pasturage under the traditional sustainable land use systems inJapan (Naito and Nakagoshi, 1994). -

This research reflects the data available at the time this evaluation was conducted. General Information Status: Submitted Screener: Emily Russell Evaluation Date: July 19, 2017 Plant Information Plant: Malus 'Donald Wyman' If the plant is a cultivar, how does its behavior differs from its parent's? 'Donald Wyman' has a broad, rounded habit. It is a larger crabapple that is sometimes used as a street tree. The flowers are white. The bright red fruit is noted to be "among the most persistent of all crabapples." It is also noted to be resistant to scab, cedar-apple rust, and mildew. 'Donald Wyman' was discovered as a chance seedling at the Arnold Arboretum around 1950. The exact parentage is unknown, but it is likely to have both Malus floribunda and Malus baccata in its genetic make-up. 'Donald Wyman' may be grafted onto a seedling or clonal rootstock. -
