POPPY HUNGARIAN BREADSEED Papaver Somniferum POPPY HUNGARIAN BREADSEED Papaver somniferum Characteristics • Season: Annual • Bloom Color: Purple • USDA Zones: 3 - 9 • Environment: Full sun to partial shade • Height: 24 - 36 inches • Soil Type: Well drained soil, pH 6.1 - 7.5 • Bloom Season: Early to Mid-Summer Culture Plant poppies in late fall or very early spring directly into the garden. In cold climates, seeds will overwinter and germinate when soil thaws. Blossoms and pods are largest when plants grow in cool weather; seedlings are very cold hardy. Sitting above its silvery, highly cut foliage, the striking, purple- petaled flowers of this easy-to-grow annual are followed later in the season by attractive seed pods that can be used in dried arrangements. At season’s end, the seeds in the pods can be harvested and used for baking or replanting. All plant parts except the seeds are toxic. Prolific self-sowing annual. Noteworthy Characteristics Breadseed poppy plants grow quickly from seed up to three feet tall. They are hardy, cool season annuals, germinating early in the season and the foliage is not affected by light frosts, but the flowers are sensitive to freezing. The dull green to blue-green, glaucous leaves clasp the strong upright stems growing from a stout tap root. The smooth leaves have jagged edges and a crisp texture, resembling loose-leaf lettuce leaves. The foliage begins to decline once the plant is in bloom, and by the time the flowers are done will dry up completely. Problems No serious insect or disease problems. Wet, poorly-drained soils can cause significant problems such as root rot, particularly in winter Garden Uses Bring some romance and charm to your garden and grow Hungarian Breadseed Poppies. Once the flowers are spent, these Poppies are known for their nutty flavored seeds that can be left to ripen and used in baking. Leave the pods to ripen and collect them at the end of the season for kitchen use. Growing Poppies from seed is so rewarding. Create a beautiful display with these flower seeds! .

  • Functional Analyses of Genetic Pathways Controlling Petal Specification in Poppy Sinéad Drea1, Lena C
    RESEARCH ARTICLE 4157 Development 134, 4157-4166 (2007) doi:10.1242/dev.013136 Functional analyses of genetic pathways controlling petal specification in poppy Sinéad Drea1, Lena C. Hileman1,*, Gemma de Martino1 and Vivian F. Irish1,2,† MADS-box genes are crucial regulators of floral development, yet how their functions have evolved to control different aspects of floral patterning is unclear. To understand the extent to which MADS-box gene functions are conserved or have diversified in different angiosperm lineages, we have exploited the capability for functional analyses in a new model system, Papaver somniferum (opium poppy). P. somniferum is a member of the order Ranunculales, and so represents a clade that is evolutionarily distant from those containing traditional model systems such as Arabidopsis, Petunia, maize or rice. We have identified and characterized the roles of several candidate MADS-box genes in petal specification in poppy. In Arabidopsis, the APETALA3 (AP3) MADS-box gene is required for both petal and stamen identity specification. By contrast, we show that the AP3 lineage has undergone gene duplication and subfunctionalization in poppy, with one gene copy required for petal development and the other responsible for stamen development. These differences in gene function are due to differences both in expression patterns and co- factor interactions. Furthermore, the genetic hierarchy controlling petal development in poppy has diverged as compared with that of Arabidopsis. As these are the first functional analyses of AP3 genes in this evolutionarily divergent clade, our results provide new information on the similarities and differences in petal developmental programs across angiosperms. Based on these observations, we discuss a model for how the petal developmental program has evolved.

  • The Discovery and Naming of Papaver Orientale Sl (Papaveraceae)
    The discovery and naming of Papaver orientale s.l. (Papaveraceae) with notes on its nomenclature and early cultivation H. Walter Lack Abstract LACK, H.W. (2019). The discovery and naming of Papaver orientale s.l. (Papaveraceae) with notes on its nomenclature and early cultivation. Candollea 74: 47 – 64. In English, English abstract. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15553/c2019v741a7 Papaver sect. Macrantha Elkan is a widespread and common polyploid complex comprising the diploid Papaver bracteatum Lindl., the tetraploid Papaver orientale L. and the hexaploid Papaver pseudo-orientale (Fedde) Medw. All three species are restricted in their distribution to the Caucasus area in the wide sense including north-eastern Turkey and north-western Iran. Papaver orientale and Papaver pseudo-orientale were first collected by one of the members of the expedition headed by Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1656 – 1708) and introduced into cultivation in the Jardin du Roi in Paris as early as 1702. From there living material of both taxa was quickly distributed to other botanical gardens in Amsterdam, Leiden and the Chelsea Physic Garden in London. For decades both species were known only from cultivated specimens. Due to hybridisation both in the field and in cultivation the relationships between the two taxa remained unclear and were further blurred by the introduction of Papaver bracteatum into cultivation which began in Gorenki near Moscow, Berlin and Chelsea around 1800. Based on ample evidence never studied before like unpublished illustrations kept in Paris and Vienna, Tournefort’s unpublished field book, and seed lists this paper unravels this complex historical and taxonomic story.

Summary SHUKLA S. & SINGH S. P. 2001. Alkaloid profile in relation to different develop- mental stages of Papaver somniferum L. - Phyton (Horn, Austria) 41 (1): 87-96, 2 figures. - English with German summary. The alkaloids variation and its synthesis were studied in two varieties (NBRI-1, NBRI-2) of opium poppy {Papaver somniferum L.) on fresh weight basis of different plant parts at different growth periods. In cotyledon stage (3-4 days after germina- tion) only morphine was present. In roots of two leave stage, thebaine was observed beside morphine. At bud initiation stage morphine, codeine and thebaine were pre- sent during 1994-95 but in 1995-96 thebaine was absent. During bud dropping stage (pendulous bud) the sepals, petals and anthers had morphine. When pendulous bud straightened before flowering it has morphine, codeine and thebaine in all parts in- cluding ovary.

U.S. Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration Office of Intelligence Washington, DC 20537 (202) 307-8100 September 1992 ADMINISTRATOR·S MESSAGE Opium Poppy Cultivation and Heroin Processing in Southeast Asia reviews in detail several complex natural and chemical procedures linked with heroin production. It further explains how the opium poppy plant of Southeast Asia is grown and harvested, how the poppy's opium is chemically converted into morphine, and fmally. how that morphine is then refmed into "China White" heroin by Southeast Asian "cooks" and "chemists." The report will interest a wide audience: those studying "source country" issues, those determining opium poppy crop estimates in mainland Southeast Asia, and those monitoring and controlling the intemational import and export of chemicals. Opium Poppy Cultivation and Heroin Processing in Southeast Asia also presents the technical relationship between opium poppy cultivation in the Golden Triangle (the moun­ tainous region where Burma, Laos, and Thailand share common borders) and heroin production in the laboratories of Southeast Asia.

Clematis wood has features typical of wood of vines and lianas: wide (earlywood) vessels, abundant axial parenchyma (earlywood, some species), high vessel density, low proportion of fibrous tissue in wood, wide rays composed of thin-walled cells, and abrupt origin of multiseriate rays. Superimposed on these features are expressions indicative of xeromorphy in the species of cold or dry areas: numerous narrow late­ wood vessels, presence of vasicentric tracheids, shorter vessel elements, and strongly marked growth rings. Wood of Xanthorhiza is like that of a (small) shrub. Wood of Delphinium, Helleborus, and Thalictrum is characteristic of herbs that become woodier: limited amounts of secondary xylem, par­ enchymatization of wood, partial conversion of ray areas to libriform fibers (partial raylessness).

W Bond, G Davies, R Turner HDRA, Ryton Organic Gardens, Coventry, CV8, 3LG, UK Common poppy (blindy-buffs, bledewort, canker rose, cheesebowl, cockrose, copper-rose, corn poppy, corn rose, cuprose, field poppy, redweed, soldiers, thunder flower, yedwark) Papaver rhoeas L. Occurrence Common poppy is a summer or more rarely winter annual native in arable land, roadsides and waste places throughout the UK (Stace, 1997). It is not recorded above 1,000 ft (Salisbury, 1961). Common poppy is found primarily in disturbed habitats. It is a weed of cornfields on light, dry, sandy and gravelly soils (Long, 1938). In an early survey of Bedfordshire and Norfolk, common poppy was one of the commonest weeds. It was found chiefly on sand, and was frequent on light loams and chalk (Brenchley, 1913). It is less frequent on clay and peat soils (McNaughton & Harper, 1964). Common poppy is mainly associated with soil of pH 6.0 to 8.0 (Grime et al., 1988). In the UK, it is common in England and SE Scotland but rarer in Wales and much of Scotland. The potential distribution of common poppy has been mapped using botanical survey and soil survey data (Firbank et al., 1998). The probable distribution was seen to be mainly in south and eastern Britain but was not related to soil type. Common poppy can occur as a birdseed alien (Hanson & Mason, 1985). Common poppy appears to be discouraged by root crops (Brenchley, 1920). In a survey of weeds in conventional cereals in central southern England in 1982, common poppy was found in 3, 1 and 2% of winter wheat, winter barley and spring barley respectively (Chancellor & Froud-Williams, 1984).

  • Icelandic Poppy Papaver Croceum Ledeb
    Icelandic poppy Papaver croceum Ledeb. Synonyms: unknown Other common names: Siberian poppy Family: Papaveraceae Invasiveness Rank: 39 The invasiveness rank is calculated based on a species’ ecological impacts, biological attributes, distribution, and response to control measures. The ranks are scaled from 0 to 100, with 0 representing a plant that poses no threat to native ecosystems and 100 representing a plant that poses a major threat to native ecosystems. Note on Taxonomy: The taxonomy of cultivated Icelandic poppy is unclear. We adopt Elven’s (2007) interpretation from the Checklist of the Panarctic Flora that cultivated Icelandic poppy should be classified as P. croceum Ledeb., a cultivar of Siberian origin that is not native to Alaska. An alternative view suggests that cultivated Icelandic poppy should fall under the name Papaver nudicaule ssp. americanum Rändel ex D.F. Murray, a delineation that also includes plants that are native to Alaska (Kiger and Murray 1997). Evidence indicates that the Icelandic poppy cultivar was introduced into cultivation in Europe from Siberia in 1730 (Fabergé 1942) and not from North America. Additionally, the cultivar and Siberian P. croceum populations are primarily diploids, while the P. nudicaule aggregate are generally tetraploids (Elven 2007). While the evolutionary history and appropriate nomenclature requires additional study, it is clear that the cultivated Icelandic poppy is a non-native plant in Alaska. Description Icelandic poppy is a perennial, loosely to densely tufted plant that grows 15 to 60 cm tall from a short, thick, and usually simple taproot. Stems and foliage are covered in simple, bristly hairs. Leaves are basal, pinnately-lobed, thin, ovate to lanceolate, slightly glaucous on both surfaces, and blue-green with 5 to 12 cm long petioles.
