Botany and Microbiology Department, Faculty of Science, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt (Now Associate Prof. in Jazan University, Faculty of Science, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) 2. Botany Department, Faculty of Science, Zagazig University, Cairo, Egypt [email protected] Abstract: Seed exomorphic characters of 32 taxa of Brassicaceae were investigated by LM and SEM. The diagnostic characterts at the generic and specific level are, seed shape, dimensions, colour, epidermal cells, and seed coat surface and aspect of anticlinal and periclinal walls. Seed shape among the studied taxa showed wide range of variations. LM revealed most of the studied seeds vary from globose to oblong-ellipsoid or elongate. Most of the seeds have no wings except Farsetia aegyptia. SEM investigation at higher magnifications revealed main six types of seed surface sculpture; reticulate, ocellate, foveate, papillate, stellate and domate. The seed exomorphic criteria obtained from LM and SEM were analyzed by the STATISCA program package using the UPGMA clustering method. Produced data facilitate the construction of a dendrogam between the studied taxa. Two groups are represented from the first group included the taxa of Tribe Arabideae, Lepidieae, Matthioleae, Sisymbrieae, Alysseae, Chamireae, Schizopetaleae, Stenopetaleae, Drabeae, Euclidieae, Lunarieae, and Streptantheae. The second group included the most commonly known genera of the tribe Brassiceae. [Kasem, W.T., Ghareeb, A. and Marwa, E. Seed Morphology and Seed Coat Sculpturing of 32 Taxa of Family Brassicaceae.

Introduction Vaughan and Whitehouse (1971) studied the macro and The Brassicaceae, which currently includes micromorphological characters of approximately 90 3709 species and 338 genera (Warwick et al. 2006), is genera and 200 species of Brassicaceae and paid one of the ten most economically important plant special attention to the relationships between structure families (Rich, 1991). In Brassicaceae, much attention and existing taxonomy.

  • Southern Garden History Plant Lists
    Southern Plant Lists Southern Garden History Society A Joint Project With The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation September 2000 1 INTRODUCTION Plants are the major component of any garden, and it is paramount to understanding the history of gardens and gardening to know the history of plants. For those interested in the garden history of the American south, the provenance of plants in our gardens is a continuing challenge. A number of years ago the Southern Garden History Society set out to create a ‘southern plant list’ featuring the dates of introduction of plants into horticulture in the South. This proved to be a daunting task, as the date of introduction of a plant into gardens along the eastern seaboard of the Middle Atlantic States was different than the date of introduction along the Gulf Coast, or the Southern Highlands. To complicate maters, a plant native to the Mississippi River valley might be brought in to a New Orleans gardens many years before it found its way into a Virginia garden. A more logical project seemed to be to assemble a broad array plant lists, with lists from each geographic region and across the spectrum of time. The project’s purpose is to bring together in one place a base of information, a data base, if you will, that will allow those interested in old gardens to determine the plants available and popular in the different regions at certain times. This manual is the fruition of a joint undertaking between the Southern Garden History Society and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In choosing lists to be included, I have been rather ruthless in expecting that the lists be specific to a place and a time.

Abstract Wallflower (Erysimum cheiri (L.) Crantz) is a common medicinal plant in Persian medicine and nowadays some traditional products from wallflower are consumed on global markets. The aim of the present study was to study the phytochemical constituents of wallflower and discuss safety evaluations related to the traditional wallflower preparations. Major Persian scholars (e.g. Avicenna) books, Persian manuscripts (e.g. Makhzan-al-advia) and Arabic medical manuscripts (e.g Alshamel-fi alsanaat altebya) of the medieval Islamic era as well as current search engines including Pubmed, Scopus, Siencedirect, and Google Scholar were included in the study from 1700 up to 2018 A.D. In traditional medicine manuscripts, various topical and oral dosage forms of wallflower were administered in low doses. After renaissance, phytochemical investigations reported cardiac steroids in wallflower and it might be the reason that next medical investigations on the herb have been interrupted.

  • Plants Can Bite!
    PLANTS CAN BITE! We have had a few comments from residents using our Estates greenspaces about hawthorn and spiny plants that might cause injury. It seems that very few people today have a knowledge of botany and do not realise that a great number of plants have evolved chemical and physical defences over the millennia in order to protect themselves from insult and harm by browsing and grazing animals (including insects). This information note attempts to explain the variety of defences plants which you may come across on our greenspaces have evolved, the risks they pose (none if you are “botany-aware”) and the perspective of this topic in relation to the countryside and green spaces. Please note that we do not exclude plants from our sites because they prick, sting or contain poison. Many such plants are of immense importance to biodiversity and optimal ecosystem function, and they are around you everywhere in the countryside and greenspace. Please also be clear that it is parents’/guardians’ responsibility to teach children about plants and those which can pose a hazard. If your botany is weak, we hope this information note helps you, but it is no substitute for studying and making yourself adequately aware so that you keep yourself and your children safe. Remember: • If it isn’t a food, don’t eat it. • Teach your children not to play with growing plants, and not to put them near their eyes or in their mouth. • Use thorn-proof gloves and wear eye protection when pruning or weeding, and keep skin covered from the sun.
