Appendix Color Plates of Solanales Species
Appendix Color Plates of Solanales Species The first half of the color plates (Plates 1–8) shows a selection of phytochemically prominent solanaceous species, the second half (Plates 9–16) a selection of convol- vulaceous counterparts. The scientific name of the species in bold (for authorities see text and tables) may be followed (in brackets) by a frequently used though invalid synonym and/or a common name if existent. The next information refers to the habitus, origin/natural distribution, and – if applicable – cultivation. If more than one photograph is shown for a certain species there will be explanations for each of them. Finally, section numbers of the phytochemical Chapters 3–8 are given, where the respective species are discussed. The individually combined occurrence of sec- ondary metabolites from different structural classes characterizes every species. However, it has to be remembered that a small number of citations does not neces- sarily indicate a poorer secondary metabolism in a respective species compared with others; this may just be due to less studies being carried out.

Nematode Management for Bedding Plants1 William T
ENY-052 Nematode Management for Bedding Plants1 William T. Crow2 Florida is the “land of flowers.” Surely, one of the things that Florida is known for is the beauty of its vegetation. Due to the tropical and subtropical environment, color can abound in Florida landscapes year-round. Unfortunately, plants are not the only organisms that enjoy the mild climate. Due to warm temperatures, sandy soil, and humidity, Florida has more than its fair share of pests and pathogens that attack bedding plants. Plant-parasitic nematodes (Figure 1) can be among the most damaging and hard-to-control of these organisms. What are nematodes? Nematodes are unsegmented roundworms, different from earthworms and other familiar worms that are segmented (annelids) or in some cases flattened and slimy (flatworms). Many kinds of nematodes may be found in the soil of any landscape. Most are beneficial, feeding on bacteria, fungi, or other microscopic organisms, and some may be used as biological control organisms to help manage important insect pests. Plant-parasitic nematodes are nematodes that Figure 1. Diagram of a generic plant-parasitic nematode. feed on live plants (Figure 1). Credits: R. P. Esser, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry; used with permission. Plant-parasitic nematodes are very small and most can only be seen using a microscope (Figure 2). All plant-parasitic nematodes have a stylet or mouth-spear that is similar in structure and function to a hypodermic needle (Figure 3). 1.

Butterfly Plant List
Butterfly Plant List Butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) go through what is known as a * This list of plants is seperated by host (larval/caterpilar stage) "complete" lifecycle. This means they go through metamorphosis, and nectar (Adult feeding stage) plants. Note that plants under the where there is a period between immature and adult stages where host stage are consumed by the caterpillars as they mature and the insect forms a protective case/cocoon or pupae in order to form their chrysalis. Most caterpilars and mothswill form their transform into its adult/reproductive stage. In butterflies this case cocoon on the host plant. is called a Chrysilas and can come in various shapes, textures, and colors.

Influence of Abiotic and Biotic Stress on Plant Growth Parameters and Quality of Specialty Crops
24th International Symposium of the International Scientific Centre of Fertilizers Plant nutrition and fertilizer issues for specialty crops Coimbra (Portugal), September 6-8, 2016 Influence of abiotic and biotic stress on plant growth parameters and quality of specialty crops Elke Bloem1*, Silvia Haneklaus1, Maik Kleinwächter2, Jana Paulsen2, Dirk Selmar2, Ewald Schnug1 1Institute for Crop and Soil Science, Julius Kühn-Institut (JKI), Bundesallee 50, 38116 Braunschweig, Germany, mail*: [email protected] 2Institute for Applied Plant Science, Technical University Braunschweig, Mendelssohnstraße 4, 38106 Braunschweig Plants under stress react with changes in their primary and secondary metabolism which directly can affect quality aspects. Many herbs and spices develop a stronger aroma and taste under Mediterranean in comparison to humid climate. Reasons are most likely moderate drought stress in combination with a higher UV irradiation. In the current research the hypothesis was tested if it is possible to increase valuable plant ingredients by applying controlled stress conditions. Crops from different plant families which contain secondary plant metabolites from different classes were tested. Test crops were thyme (Thymus vulgaris), greater celandine (Chelidonium majus), nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus), parsley (Petroselinum crispum), and St John´s wort (Hypericum perforatum). With these plants the following classes of secondary plant compounds could be investigated in response to stress: essential oils, alkaloids, glucosinolates, polyphenoles, and hypericine. Stress parameters that were applied to the plants in pot experiments were drought, salt stress and the simulation of biotic stress by application of the phytohormones methyljasmonate (MeJA) or salicylate (SA). Both phytohormones are involved in pathogen defense. Plants were harvested at different growth stages and a selection of stress parameter and secondary plant compounds as well as the biomass development was recorded. -

APPENDICES AND REFERENCES CITED Appendix 1: Description of Vegetation Databases Vegetation data for the Desolation ecosystem analysis was stored in three different databases. This document serves as a data dictionary for the existing vegetation, historical vegetation, and potential natural vegetation databases, as described below: • Interpretation of aerial photography acquired in 1995, 1996, and 1997 was used to characterize existing (current) conditions. The 1996 and 1997 photography was obtained after cessation of the Bull and Summit wildfires in order to characterize post-fire conditions. The database name is: 97veg. • Interpretation of late-1930s and early-1940s photography was used to characterize historical conditions. The database name is: 39veg. • The potential natural vegetation was determined for each polygon in the analysis -
