This study was the first time in Russia to carry out a large-scale (127 samples) assessment of the diverse gene pool of black currant and red currant, the study of intervarietal polymorphism between varieties of the Ribes L. genus from the VNIISPK collection. A cluster analysis of the genetic similarity of black currant varieties (53 varieties), red currant (73 varieties) and one gooseberry variety was performed using 14 SSR markers. Based on the data obtained, a dendrogram was built, in which a number of clusters with high bootstrap support (BS, %) were distinguished. At BS>50%, the coefficients of pairwise genetic similarity between varieties varied from 0.4 to 0.91. The studied representatives of the Ribes genus merged into two main clusters of red currant and black currant. The blackcurrant cluster was joined by gooseberries. The SSR analysis method allows to reveal broad perspectives in the field of identifying varieties affiliation to species. 1 Introduction Currant became known to people quite a long time ago. The first records of black currant were made in the 17th century in the United States by herbalists who drew attention to the medicinal properties of the shrub's fruits and leaves [1].

  • Floristic Quality Assessment Report
    FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN INDIANA: THE CONCEPT, USE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF COEFFICIENTS OF CONSERVATISM Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) the State tree of Indiana June 2004 Final Report for ARN A305-4-53 EPA Wetland Program Development Grant CD975586-01 Prepared by: Paul E. Rothrock, Ph.D. Taylor University Upland, IN 46989-1001 Introduction Since the early nineteenth century the Indiana landscape has undergone a massive transformation (Jackson 1997). In the pre-settlement period, Indiana was an almost unbroken blanket of forests, prairies, and wetlands. Much of the land was cleared, plowed, or drained for lumber, the raising of crops, and a range of urban and industrial activities. Indiana’s native biota is now restricted to relatively small and often isolated tracts across the State. This fragmentation and reduction of the State’s biological diversity has challenged Hoosiers to look carefully at how to monitor further changes within our remnant natural communities and how to effectively conserve and even restore many of these valuable places within our State. To meet this monitoring, conservation, and restoration challenge, one needs to develop a variety of appropriate analytical tools. Ideally these techniques should be simple to learn and apply, give consistent results between different observers, and be repeatable. Floristic Assessment, which includes metrics such as the Floristic Quality Index (FQI) and Mean C values, has gained wide acceptance among environmental scientists and decision-makers, land stewards, and restoration ecologists in Indiana’s neighboring states and regions: Illinois (Taft et al. 1997), Michigan (Herman et al. 1996), Missouri (Ladd 1996), and Wisconsin (Bernthal 2003) as well as northern Ohio (Andreas 1993) and southern Ontario (Oldham et al.

This information represents what was known at the end of the 1994 field season. These maps may not represent the most recent information on distribution and range for these taxa but it does illustrate geographic distribution across the assessment area. For many of these species, this is the first time information has been compiled on this scale. For the continued viability of many of these taxa, it is imperative that we begin to manage for them across their range and across administrative boundaries. Of the 173 taxa analyzed, there are maps for 153 taxa. For those taxa that were not tracked by heritage programs, we were not able to generate range maps.

  • Canadian Breeding Program for White Pine Blister Resistance in Black Currants
    Canadian Breeding Program for White Pine Blister Resistance in Black Currants Margie Luffman ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. genetics, germplasm, Ribes, C. ribicola, cultivar development SUMMARY. The search for appropriate white pine blister rust (WPBR) (Cronartium ribicola J.C. Fischer) resistant germplasm to use in black currant (Ribes nigrum L.) breeding programs began in 1935 in Ottawa. Crosses were made in 1938 and 1939 with three different Ribes L. species and two standard black currant cultivars. The resulting seedlings from these crosses were evaluated for rust resistance. Three promising selections resulted from this program and were named ‘Coronet’, ‘Crusader’ and ‘Consort’. PBR affects five-needle white pine (Pinus L.) and currant and goose- berry, (Ribes). Both Pinus and Ribes are required hosts to complete the Wrust life cycle. In Ribes the disease is more of a nuisance than a serious problem. However, WPBR devastates pine production, often destroying the trees. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) started a program in 1935 to search for germplasm that could be used in a breeding program for rust resistant black currants. The direction of research carried out by AAFC during its formative years was shaped largely by the first director of the Central Experimental Farm (CEF), Will- iam Saunders (Fisher, 1976). The CEF was established in Ottawa in 1887. Saunders was a druggist by training but he had a deep, abiding interest in horticul- ture and cereal crops. Under his tutelage a national fruit experimental program was created. A Dominion horticulturalist position was created to oversee systematic trials of old and new fruit cultivars to improve commercial fruit production and establish regional cultivar recommendation lists.

In addition to fossils, the Monument also preserves a mosaic of 12 high desert and montane foothills vegetation types (Dorn et al. 1984; Jones 1993) and over 600 species of vertebrates and vascular plants (Beetle and Marlow 1974; Rado 1976, Clark 1977, Dorn et al. 1984; Kyte 2000). From a conservation perspective, Fossil Butte National Monument is especially significant because it is one of only two managed areas in the basins of southwestern Wyoming to be permanently protected and managed with an emphasis on maintaining biological processes (Merrill et al.

    Design 2.4 | Landscaping B. Plant List See Appendix A (City of Sedona Approved Landscape Plant List); LDC Section 5.6 (Landscaping) (1) Intent a. The City of Sedona Approved Landscape Plant List (Appendix A) is intended for use by development projects that must comply with the LDC Section 5.6 (Landscaping). b. Residents may use the list as a reference when choosing plants for their home. (2) Purpose The purpose of the Plant List is to apply the Community Plan vision to the landscape component of the built environment, specifically the Sense of Place, Environmental Stewardship, and Sustainability goals. a. Sense of Place The built landscape can and should mirror Sedona’s unique natural environment. Landscaping is an important and very visible component of the built environment, especially in commercial developments seen from the highway. The use of native plants is intended to blend the built landscape with the surrounding natural landscape by incorporating the same plants. b. Sustainability and Water Conservation Maintaining a sustainable environment is a fundamental goal of the community. How this relates to landscaping is the desire for a healthy, diverse, and productive ecosystem that can be sustained over time without depleting or impacting natural, cultural, or economic resources. (3) Listed Plants See Appendix A The Plant List (Appendix A) features plants that are considered water-wise or low water use plants, unless listed as riparian. a. The plant list includes three categories: native, adaptive, and riparian plants. A separate list includes invasive weeds. b. Given the LDC requirement regarding the minimum size of shrubs, the Plant List does not include shrubs or cacti that are typically less than 2’ in height.
