    The Reginald Farrer Collection

    Catalogue of the Reginald J. Farrer Collection at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh GB 235 RJF Title: The Reginald Farrer Collection Dates of Creation: 1880 – present Name of Creator: Reginald Farrer (1880-1920), Farrer family and Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, et al. Administrative / Biographical History: Reginald John Farrer, traveller, plant collector, plantsman and writer, was born on the 17th February, 1880 at 3 Spanish Place, London, the eldest of two boys born to James Anson Farrer (1849-1925) and Elizabeth Georgina Ann, nee Reynell-Pack. Farrer was born with a cleft palate and hare lip, the operation scars to correct this he later covered up with a thick moustache. Having to endure many childhood operations he was educated at home and also at Newnham Rectory. Spending much time by himself, Farrer enjoyed studying the flora in the hills surrounding his family’s Yorkshire estate, Ingleborough in Clapham, which his father inherited in 1889. At the age of fourteen, Farrer redesigned its alpine garden. In 1898 he attended Balliol College in Oxford, graduating in 1902. While there he helped H.J. Bidder construct the popular rock garden at St John’s College. Family holidays were often spent in Europe, but in 1903 Farrer went on his first long journey to Beijing / Peking, briefly visiting Korea before spending around 8 months in Japan. His first book, The Garden of Asia (1904) describes this stay. At this time, Farrer’s plant and gardening interests were overtaken by his ambition to become a novelist, poet and playwright. Unfortunately, most of this work was not well regarded and is now forgotten.

Riess in 1998 Copyright c 2000 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable . ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and W.

    Crete in Spring 2018 Lead by Fiona Dunbar a Greentours Trip Report

    Crete in Spring 2018 Lead by Fiona Dunbar A Greentours Trip Report Friday 6th April Arrival After an early start at Gatwick, we arrived in Crete only a little late. Ian Hislop was on our flight, presumably on his way out to stay with his wife, author of such Cretan Aga sagas as ‘The Island’. Driving along, the countryside was markedly lush and green compared to some years. The Robinia pseudoacacia was dripping in white blossom, the Judas trees with pink. There were acres of yellow, and yellow and white, Chrysanthemum coronarium. We enjoyed a welcome but late lunch at a taverna in the village of Armeni instead. The saganaki or fried cheese was made with the cooks’ own freshly prepared, mild goats cheese. The garden centre next door was quite a pull, too! As we gained altitude we looked out over hills covered with fig, gorse, Quercus pubescens, Asphodeline aestivus and almost fluorescing lime green Giant Fennel, in between the groves of olives and small fields. Having been greeted by Herakles in Spili with glasses of cold water and quince in honey, we settled into our rooms. Some walked down the track below. There was a fine stand of tall purple broomrapes on the nasturtiums in Heracles garden. We reconvened in the breakfast room and strolled over the road to Costas and Maria’s taverna, almost hidden by trailing vines and flowers. Most of us tried the rabbit in lemon sauce – tender and tasty. It was Good Friday, and as I headed to bed I could hear a Scops Owl calling.

Received: 4 November 2017; Accepted: 4 December 2017; Published: 8 December 2017 Abstract: Paeonia qiui is a wild species of tree peony. P. qiui has good ornamental value owing to its leaf color change in spring. So far, the molecular mechanism of leaf color change in P. qiui is unclear. This study analyzes the anthocyanin level and transcriptome of two different color stages in P. qiui leaf. The purplish-red leaf stage is rich in anthocyanin, while the green leaf has very low levels of anthocyanin. Transcriptome analysis reveals that 6678 differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) are up-regulated, and 14,667 are down-regulated in the purplish-red leaf. Among these DEGs, 40 MYB (v-myb avian myeloblastosis viral oncogene homolog) genes, 40 bHLH (MYC-like basic helix–loop–helix) genes, and 15 WD40 (WD-repeat protein) genes were found. Based on phylogenetic and alignment analysis with the deduced amino acid sequences with known transcription factors, Unigene0024459 (MYB1) is likely the R2R3-MYB that promotes anthocyanin biosynthesis; Unigene0050761 (MYB2) is likely the R2R3-MYB that represses anthocyanin biosynthesis; Unigene0005081 (bHLH1) and Unigene0006146 (WD40-1) are likely the bHLH and WD40 that participate in regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis.

In childhood he underwent a series of corrective operations and was therefore educated at home. He grew to be a solitary man and the difficulties of his early life fostered in him a stoicism and single-mindedness that enabled him to endure the great hardships he encountered in his later journeys of exploration. As a child he developed a love of plants and his enthusiasms led to his later journeys in the mountains of Europe and Asia, his experiences vividly described in his writings. In his twenties, while on a visit to Ceylon, he converted to the Buddhist faith. Farrer was gifted with a diversity of talents - a writer, an intrepid plant-hunter, a painter, who was also a practical gardener. He had a profound influence on subsequent garden writers and his memory is enshrined in the many plant introductions which bear his name.

Doreen Fitzgerald hether commercial growers in Alaska might someday export peonies for the cut fl ower market is the subject of a ten-year research project at the Agricultural and Forestry and Experi- Wment Station (AFES). The peony is a long-lived, low- maintenance, and cold-tolerant plant that produces a high-value crop. Exporting fl owers from as far north as Fairbanks may seem unlikely, but the late bloom period of high-latitude peonies actually provides a commercial advantage: they would be marketed when they’re unavailable from other North American pro- ducers. A commercial crop from Alaska could extend the peony season for national cut fl ower markets. The peony plant produces a succession of blooms over about eight weeks. At lower latitudes, they bloom mostly in May and June. At Dutch fl ower auctions, according to the International Cut Flower Manual, 52 percent of all peony cut fl ower stem sales occur in May, 44 percent in June. Peonies are also grown com- mercially in Chile, where they are ready for market in January and February. In Alaska, due to the late spring, peonies bloom from mid to late summer (July and August).
  • Transcriptome Sequencing of Purple Petal Spot Region in Tree Peony Reveals Differentially Expressed Anthocyanin Structural Genes

    Transcriptome Sequencing of Purple Petal Spot Region in Tree Peony Reveals Differentially Expressed Anthocyanin Structural Genes

    ORIGINAL RESEARCH published: 04 November 2015 doi: 10.3389/fpls.2015.00964 Transcriptome sequencing of purple petal spot region in tree peony reveals differentially expressed anthocyanin structural genes Yanzhao Zhang†, Yanwei Cheng*†,HuiyuanYa†, Shuzhen Xu and Jianming Han Life Science Department, Luoyang Normal University, Luoyang, China The pigmented cells in defined region of a petal constitute the petal spots. Petal spots attract pollinators and are found in many angiosperm families. Several cultivars of tree peony contain a single red or purple spot at the base of petal that makes the flower more attractive for the ornamental market. So far, the understanding of the molecular mechanism of spot formation is inadequate. In this study, we sequenced Edited by: the transcriptome of the purple spot and the white non-spot of tree peony flower. Traud Winkelmann, Leibniz Universität Hannover, We assembled and annotated 67,892 unigenes. Comparative analyses of the two Germany transcriptomes showed 1,573 differentially expressed genes, among which 933 were Reviewed by: up-regulated, and 640 were down-regulated in the purple spot. Subsequently, we Kevin Davies, The New Zealand Institute for Plant & examined four anthocyanin structural genes, including PsCHS, PsF3 H, PsDFR,and Food Research Ltd., New Zealand PsANS, which expressed at a significantly higher level in the purple spot than in the Anne Behrend, white non-spot. We further validated the digital expression data using quantitative real- Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and Ornamental Crops, Germany time PCR. Our result uncovered transcriptome variance between the spot and non-spot *Correspondence: of tree peony flower, and revealed that the co-expression of four anthocyanin structural Yanwei Cheng genes was responsible for spot pigment in tree peony.
