Egg Parasitoids of Stink Bugs (Hemiptera: Coreidae and Pentatomidae) on Soybean and Cowpea in Brazil Antonio De Almeida Paz-Neto1, Ranyse B
Egg parasitoids of stink bugs (Hemiptera: Coreidae and Pentatomidae) on soybean and cowpea in Brazil Antonio de Almeida Paz-Neto1, Ranyse B. Querino2,*, and Cecilia B. Margaría3 Abstract Parasitoids naturally attacking stink bug (Hemiptera: Coreidae and Pentatomidae) eggs and interactions with their hosts were recorded on soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merril; Fabales: Fabaceae) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata [L.] Walp.; Fabales: Fabaceae) host plants in Brazil. Egg masses of stink bugs collected from plant structures were observed daily until emergence of either parasitoids or bugs. Stink bugs were parasitized by 8 species of egg parasitoids: Trissolcus urichi Crawford, Trissolcus teretis Johnson, Trissolcus bodkini Crawford, Telenomus podisi Ashmead, Phanuropsis semiflaviven- tris Girault (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae), Neorileya flavipes Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae), Ooencyrtus anasae (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), andAnastatus sp. (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae). Trissolcus urichi, Te. podisi, O. anasae, and N. flavipes parasitized eggs of 2 or more spe- cies of stink bugs, andTr. urichi and Te. podisi were the most generalist. Phanuropsis semiflaviventris, Tr. teretis, Tr. bodkini, and Anastatus sp. showed specialist behavior, because each of them parasitized only 1 species of stink bug.

Overabundant Wallabies and Vegetation Change
Unintended Consequences of Invasive Predator Control in an Australian Forest: Overabundant Wallabies and Vegetation Change Nick Dexter1*, Matt Hudson1, Stuart James1, Christopher MacGregor2, David B. Lindenmayer2 1 Booderee National Park, Jervis Bay, Australia, 2 Fenner School of Environment and Society, National Environmental Research Program, The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia Abstract Over-abundance of native herbivores is a problem in many forests worldwide. The abundance of native macropod wallabies is extremely high at Booderee National Park (BNP) in south-eastern Australia. This has occurred because of the reduction of exotic predators through an intensive baiting program, coupled with the absence of other predators. The high density of wallabies at BNP may be inhibiting the recruitment of many plant species following fire-induced recruitment events. We experimentally examined the post-fire response of a range of plant species to browsing by wallabies in a forest heavily infested with the invasive species, bitou bush Chrysanthemoides monilifera. We recorded the abundance and size of a range of plant species in 18 unfenced (browsed) and 16 fenced (unbrowsed) plots. We found the abundance and size of bitou bush was suppressed in browsed plots compared to unbrowsed plots. Regenerating seedlings of the canopy or middle storey tree species Eucalyptus pilularis, Acacia implexa, Allocasuarina littoralis, Breynia oblongifolia and Banksia integrifolia were either smaller or fewer in number in grazed plots than treatment plots as were the vines Kennedia rubicunda, Glycine tabacina and Glycine clandestina. In contrast, the understorey fern, Pteridium esculentum increased in abundance in the browsed plots relative to unbrowsed plots probably because of reduced competition with more palatable angiosperms.

Checklist of the Washington Baltimore Area
Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of the Washington - Baltimore Area Part I Ferns, Fern Allies, Gymnosperms, and Dicotyledons by Stanwyn G. Shetler and Sylvia Stone Orli Department of Botany National Museum of Natural History 2000 Department of Botany, National Museum of Natural History Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560-0166 ii iii PREFACE The better part of a century has elapsed since A. S. Hitchcock and Paul C. Standley published their succinct manual in 1919 for the identification of the vascular flora in the Washington, DC, area. A comparable new manual has long been needed. As with their work, such a manual should be produced through a collaborative effort of the region’s botanists and other experts. The Annotated Checklist is offered as a first step, in the hope that it will spark and facilitate that effort. In preparing this checklist, Shetler has been responsible for the taxonomy and nomenclature and Orli for the database. We have chosen to distribute the first part in preliminary form, so that it can be used, criticized, and revised while it is current and the second part (Monocotyledons) is still in progress. Additions, corrections, and comments are welcome. We hope that our checklist will stimulate a new wave of fieldwork to check on the current status of the local flora relative to what is reported here. When Part II is finished, the two parts will be combined into a single publication. We also maintain a Web site for the Flora of the Washington-Baltimore Area, and the database can be searched there (http://www.nmnh.si.edu/botany/projects/dcflora).

Abstract Somatic embryos of the commercial soybean (Glycine max) cultivar IAS5 were co-transformed using particle bom- bardment with a synthetic form of the Bacillus thuringiensis delta-endotoxin crystal protein gene cry1Ac, the β-glucuronidase reporter gene gusA and the hygromycin resistance gene hpt. Hygromycin-resistant tissues were proliferated individually to give rise to nine sets of clones corresponding to independent transformation events. The co-bombardment resulted in a co-transformation efficiency of 44%. Many histodifferentiated embryos and 30 well-developed plants were obtained. Twenty of these plants flowered and fourteen set seeds. The integration and expression of the cry1Ac, gusA and hpt transgenes into the genomes of a sample of transformed embryos and all T0, T1,T2 and T3 plants were confirmed by Gus activity, PCR, Southern and western blot, and ELISA techniques.

Abstract PARSING POLYPHYLETIC PUERARIA: DELIMITING DISTINCT
Abstract PARSING POLYPHYLETIC PUERARIA: DELIMITING DISTINCT EVOLUTIONARY LINEAGES THROUGH PHYLOGENY by William Cagle May, 2013 Director: Dr. Ashley N. Egan DEPARTMENT OF BIOLOGY A taxon is defined as polyphyletic when it does not include the last common ancestor of all true members of the taxon, resulting in a number of subgroups not united by a common ancestor. Previous work has suggested Pueraria (Fabaceae) to be polyphyletic. Although several taxonomic treatments have recognized Pueraria as an unnatural grouping since its creation in 1825, and two have put forth taxonomic hypotheses, the polyphyly has never been resolved. The need for further biosystematic research has always been cited as the reason no changes were proposed. This project attempted to address this issue by sampling broadly across phaseoloid legumes with an initial target goal of 156 species including 15 species of Pueraria. Ultimately, 104 species across 69 genera were sampled for AS2 and 116 species across 64 genera for matK. Phylogeny reconstruction was carried out using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference. Both analyses yielded congruent tree topologies and similar support values. Both previous taxonomic hypotheses show some congruence with the data, but discrepancies do occur. This work provides strong support for the existence of five separate clades within the genus Pueraria, requiring the resurrection of the genus Neustanthus for P. phaseoloides along with the need to create a new genus each for P. stricta, P. peduncularis, and P. wallichii.

Gonzaleź*, † Department of Environmental Sciences, Public University of Navarra, E-31006 Pamplona, Spain ‡ Department of Molecular Systems Biology, University of Vienna, Althanstrasse 14, 1090 Vienna, Austria *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Legume crops present important agronomical and environmental advantages mainly due to their capacity to reduce atmospheric N2 to ammonium via symbiotic nitrogen fixation (SNF). This process is very sensitive to abiotic stresses such as drought, but the mechanism underlying this response is not fully understood. The goal of the current work is to compare the drought response of two legumes with high economic impact and research importance, Medicago truncatula and Glycine max, by characterizing their root nodule proteomes. Our results show that, although M. truncatula exhibits lower water potential values under drought conditions compared to G. max, SNF declined analogously in the two legumes. Both of their nodule proteomes are very similar, and comparable down-regulation responses in the diverse protein functional groups were identified (mainly proteins related to the metabolism of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur). We suggest lipoxygenases and protein turnover as newly recognized players in SNF regulation. Partial drought conditions applied to a split-root system resulted in the local down-regulation of the entire proteome of drought-stressed nodules in both legumes.

Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology Plant Protection and Quarantine Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service United States Department of Agriculture 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Weed Risk Assessment for Glycine max Introduction Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) regulates noxious weeds under the authority of the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000) and the Federal Seed Act (7 U.S.C. § 1581-1610, 1939). A noxious weed is defined as “any plant or plant product that can directly or indirectly injure or cause damage to crops (including nursery stock or plant products), livestock, poultry, or other interests of agriculture, irrigation, navigation, the natural resources of the United States, the public health, or the environment” (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000). We use weed risk assessment (WRA)— specifically, the PPQ WRA model (Koop et al., 2012)—to evaluate the risk potential of plants, including those newly detected in the United States, those proposed for import, and those emerging as weeds elsewhere in the world. Because the PPQ WRA model is geographically and climatically neutral, it can be used to evaluate the baseline invasive/weed potential of any plant species for the entire United States or for any area within it.

Long-Distance Dispersal: the Case for the Allopolyploid Glycine Tabacina (Labill.) Benth
Micronesica 23(1): 5-13, 1990 Long-distance Dispersal: The Case for the Allopolyploid Glycine tabacina (Labill.) Benth. and G. tomentella Hayata in the West-Central Pacific. T. HYMOWITZ and R. J. SINGH Department of Agronomy, University of Illinois, Urbana, IL 61801 , USA and R. P. LARKIN State of Illinois Natural History Survey, Section of Wildlife Research Urbana, 1L 61801, USA Abstract-Fourteen diploid (2n = 40) perennial species in the genus Glycine Willd. subgenus Glycine are endemic to the Australian region. However, the allopolyploid cytotypes (2n = 80) of G. tabacina (Labill.) Benth. and G. tomentella Hayata have a wider distribution. The allopolyploid members of G. tabacina are found in Australia and on islands in the South and West-Central Pacific. Similarly, the allopolyploid members of G. tomentella occur in the Australian region and in the West-Central Pacific. Most probably, migratory birds are the dissemination vector for the allo- polyploid members of G. tabacina and G. tomentella across the equator from the Australian region to the West-Central Pacific. Introduction The genus Glycine Willd. is composed of two subgenera, Glycine and Soja (Moench) F. J. Herm. (Table 1). The subgenus Soja includes the cultivated soybean, G. max (L.) Merr. and its wild ancestor, G. soja. Sieb. and Zucc. Both species are annual and diploid with 40 chromosomes (Singh & Hymowitz 1988). The soybean, domesticated in the east- ern half of North China, is found only under cultivation while G. soja occurs in the People's Republic of China, the U.S.S.R., Taiwan, Japan, and peninsula~ Korea. The subgenus Glycine currently contains fifteen inbreeding wild perennial species (Table 1).
