(1838-43), Book 1:10). Hunn (1990) estimates that there were 28-42 Contributed by: USDA NRCS National Plant Data huckleberry harvest days in a year. This resulted in a Center & Oregon Plant Materials Center total annual harvest of 63.9-80.2 kg/woman/year from the Tenino-Wishram area, and 90 kg/woman/year from the Umatilla area. The net result was a huckleberry harvest yield of 31 kcal/person/day in the Tenino-Wishram area and 42 kcal/person/day for the Umatilla area (Hunn 1981: 130-131). Vaccinium species contain 622 Kcal per 100 gm huckleberries, with 15.3 gm carbohydrate, 0.5 gm fat, 0.7 gm protein and 83.2 gm water (Hunn 1981:130-131). In the fall, after the harvest, it was common for the Sahaptin to burn these areas to create favorable habitat (Henry Lewis 1973, 1977). Fire creates sunny openings in the forest and edges that foster the rapid spread of nutritious herbs and shrubs that favors the huckleberries (Minore 1972:68).

Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- ERICACEAE
Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- ERICACEAE ERICACEAE (Heath Family) A family of about 107 genera and 3400 species, primarily shrubs, small trees, and subshrubs, nearly cosmopolitan. The Ericaceae is very important in our area, with a great diversity of genera and species, many of them rather narrowly endemic. Our area is one of the north temperate centers of diversity for the Ericaceae. Along with Quercus and Pinus, various members of this family are dominant in much of our landscape.

ABSTRACT BIAN, YANG. Genetic Diversity And
ABSTRACT BIAN, YANG. Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Cultivated Blueberries (Vaccinium section Cyanococcus spp.). (Under the direction of Dr. Allan Brown). Blueberry (Vaccinium section Cyanococcus spp.) is an important small fruit crop native to North America with an incredible amount of genetic diversity that has yet to be efficiently characterized. Through broad natural and directed hybridization, the primary and secondary genepools currently utilized includes several distinct species and species hybrids in the section Cyanococcus. To date, only a limited number of cultivated blueberries have been assessed for genetic diversity in individual taxonomic groups using a limited number of molecular markers. A source of genomic SSRs is currently available through the generation and assembly of a draft genomic sequence of diploid V. corymbosum (‘W8520’). This genomic resource allows for a genome-wide survey of SSRs and the large scale development of molecular markers for blueberry genetic diversity studies and beyond. Of ~ 358 Mb genomic sequence surveyed, a total number of 43,594 SSRs were identified in 7,609 SSR-containing scaffolds (~ 122 counts per Mb). Dinucleotide repeats appeared the most abundant repeat types in all genomic regions except the predicted gene coding sequences (CDS). SSRs were most frequent and longest in 5’ untranslated region (5’ UTR), followed by 3’ UTR, while CDS contained the least frequent and shortest SSRs on average. AG/CT and AAG/CTT motifs were most frequent while CG/CG and CCG/CGG motifs were the least frequent for dinucleotide and trinucleotide motifs, respectively, in transcribed DNA. AAT/ATT motif was the most frequent trinucleotide motif in the nontranscribed DNA. -
