Comparative Analysis and Implications of the Chloroplast Genomes of Three Thistles (Carduus L., Asteraceae)
Comparative analysis and implications of the chloroplast genomes of three thistles (Carduus L., Asteraceae) Joonhyung Jung1,*, Hoang Dang Khoa Do1,2,*, JongYoung Hyun1, Changkyun Kim1 and Joo-Hwan Kim1 1 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi, Korea 2 Nguyen Tat Thanh Hi-Tech Institute, Nguyen Tat Thanh University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT Background. Carduus, commonly known as plumeless thistles, is a genus in the Asteraceae family that exhibits both medicinal value and invasive tendencies. However, the genomic data of Carduus (i.e., complete chloroplast genomes) have not been sequenced. Methods. We sequenced and assembled the chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequences of three Carduus species using the Illumina Miseq sequencing system and Geneious Prime. Phylogenetic relationships between Carduus and related taxa were reconstructed using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference analyses. In addition, we used a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the protein coding region of the matK gene to develop molecular markers to distinguish C. crispus from C. acanthoides and C. tenuiflorus. Results. The cpDNA sequences of C. crispus, C. acanthoides, and C. tenuiflorus ranged from 152,342 bp to 152,617 bp in length. Comparative genomic analysis revealed high conservation in terms of gene content (including 80 protein-coding, 30 tRNA, and four rRNA genes) and gene order within the three focal species and members of subfamily Carduoideae. Despite their high similarity, the three species differed with respect to the number and content of repeats in the chloroplast genome. Additionally, eight Submitted 28 February 2020 hotspot regions, including psbI-trnS_GCU, trnE_UUC-rpoB, trnR_UCU-trnG_UCC, Accepted 11 December 2020 Published 14 January 2021 psbC-trnS_UGA, trnT_UGU-trnL_UAA, psbT-psbN, petD-rpoA, and rpl16-rps3, were identified in the study species. -

The type material of 12 species of Bucculatrix Zeller, 1839 deposited in the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin is revised. B. imitatella Herrich-Schäffer, [1855], and B. jugicola Wocke, 1877, are sunk in synonymy of B. cristatella (Zeller, 1839). Two other synonyms have been established: B. alpina Frey, 1870 = B. leucanthemella Constant, 1895, syn. n.; B. infans Staudinger, 1880 = B. centaureae Deschka, 1973, syn. n. The male genitalia of the species are figured. Lectotypes have been designated for 5 species. Zusammenfassung.

Introduction: Silverberry Elaeagnus commutata Bernh. ex. Rydb is a native shrub with potential use in streambank stabilization, wildlife habitat, windbreaks, and naturalistic landscaping projects. The purpose of this bulletin is to transfer information on the identification, culture, and proper use of this species. FIGURE 1 FRUIT STEM FOLIAGE I. DESCRIPTION Silverberry is a multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub ranging from 1.5 to 3.6 m (5 to 12 ft.) tall. In Montana, heights of 1.5 to 2.4 m (5 to 8 ft.) are most common. It has an erect, upright habit with slender and sometimes twisted branches. The new stems are initially a light to medium brown color, the bark becoming dark gray, but remaining smooth, with age. The leaves are deciduous, alternate, 38 to 89 mm (1.5 to 3.5 in.) long and 19 to 38 mm (0.75 to 1.5 in.) wide (see Figure 1). The leaf shape is described as oval to narrowly ovate with an entire leaf margin. Both the upper and lower leaf surfaces are covered with silvery white scales, the bottom sometimes with brown spots. The highly fragrant, yellow flowers are trumpet-shaped (tubular), approximately 13 mm (0.5 in.) in length, and borne in the leaf axils in large numbers in May or June. The fruit is a silvery-colored, 7.6 mm (0.3 in.) long, egg-shaped drupe that ripens in September to October. -

Conservation Trees and Shrubs for Montana
Conservation Trees and Shrubs for Montana Montana mt.nrcs.usda.gov Introduction When you are contemplating which tree or shrub species to plant, your first thought might be, “Will this plant thrive here?” You will want to know if the plant will tolerate the temperatures, moisture, and soil conditions of the area. This publication focuses on identifying and describing trees and shrubs capable of tolerating Montana’s severe climatic and environmental conditions, the site conditions where they are best adapted to grow, and some of the benefits each tree and shrub provides. When looking at each of the provided attributes, consider these two points. First, these characteristics and traits are approximations, and variability within a species is quite common. Second, plant performance varies over time as a plant grows and matures. For example, even “drought tolerant” species require adequate moisture until their root systems become well established. Landowners and managers, homeowners, and others plant trees and shrubs for many reasons, including: windbreaks for livestock protection and crop production, shelterbelts for homes and farmsteads to reduce wind speed and conserve energy usage, living snow fences to trap and manage snow, hedgerows as visual and noise screens, landscaping for beautification around homes and parks, wildlife habitat and food, blossoms for pollinators such as bees, streamside and wetland restoration, reforestation following timber harvest or wildfire, and fruit and berries for human use to name just a few. Montana encompasses 93.3 million acres with temperature extremes ranging from -50 degrees F in northeast Montana, to 110 degrees F in summer in southcentral Montana. -
