This seems a very useful term to focus attention on those problems. It is well established that “plants are the most important, least understood, and most taken- for-granted of all living things” (Wilkins 1988). The article on “Plant Blindness” by Wandersee and However, Wandersee and Schussler (2001) have Schussler in volume 47 (1) of Plant Science Bulletin also hypothesized that plant blindness can also be struck a chord with many readers. I continue to take almost literally as a human “default condition” due receive positive comments about the article and it was to limitations in human visual perception of plants.

David suggests that some additional related (2001) on the limits to human visual perception factors may be at least as important as “Plant apparently contains no specific experiments on human Blindness” and makes some suggestions for things perception of plants.

EVERT ATHERINE ESAU, WORLD renowned botanist, recipient of Kthe National Medal of Science, author of six textbooks, and teacher par excellence, died June 4, 1997, at her home in Santa Barbara, California. She was ninety-nine years young. Her work on plant structure covered seven-plus decades and led to much of the current research on plant function. Throughout her career, Esau continued research on phlo- em both in relation to the effects of phloem-limited viruses on plant structure and development and to the unique struc- ture of the sieve tube as a conduit for food. She demon- strated an exceptional ability for attacking basic problems and she set new standards of excellence for the investiga- tion of anatomical problems in the plant sciences. Esau was born on April 3, 1898, in the city of Yekaterinoslav, now called Dnepropetrovsk, in the Ukraine. She lived there until the end of 1918, when she and her family fled to Germany during the Bolshevik Revolution.

  • Arboescultura. Axel Erlandson (1.884-1.964)
    Arboescultura. Axel Erlandson (1.884-1.964). El circo de los árboles. Axel Erlandson fue un granjero sueco de nacimiento y estadounidense de adopción que cultivó árboles modificados en diferentes formas como una distracción. Axel comenzó como un campesino corriente que tenía la afición de transformar los troncos de los árboles. Para conseguir estos resultados es indispensable una gran paciencia, podar constantemente los árboles, doblarlos, ponerles injertos y mucha voluntad ya que el proyecto dura mucho años. Al final se convirtió en un gran alquimista arbóreo, dando forma a árboles a veces con aspecto extraterrestre. Abrió una atracción hortícola en 1947, cerca de Santa Cruz, California, la anunciaba como "See the World's Strangest Trees Here"(“Ver los árboles más extraños del mundo aquí”) y la denominó "The Tree Circus" (“El circo del árbol”), gente de todas las partes del país se reunían para ver sus creaciones inusuales La arboescultura es un arte basado en el trabajo con árboles y plantas para darle diversas formas de valor artístico. Esta técnica consiste en orientar el crecimiento de los árboles y plantas a través de podas, injertos y flexiones hasta lograr en ellos la forma que se desea. Como resultado de esta técnica y mucha paciencia se logran verdaderas obras de arte y lo más importante es que no se perjudica la vida de los árboles. Axel creó diseños en papel primero y luego estableció plantas con los patrones especificados; poda, injerto y la flexión de acuerdo a los diseños realizados. Erlandson fue una persona autodidacta a lo largo de décadas, estudió la forma del crecimiento de los árboles a través de sus propios diseños.

Abstract Polynesian settlers transformed the native forests of the central Pacific islands into productive economic landscapes. Root crops came to dominate agronomic systems in many areas but arboriculture was the dominant mode of food production in some, and it is not well understood how these different endpoints evolved.
