RESUMEN Se han estudiado 35 de los taxones representados en el área Indicada, al M.O. y al M.E.B. La longitud de la abertura tiene valor taxonómico para sepa­ rar la sección Allium, con la abertura muy larga, de las otras secciones. Se ha observado una relación entre el aumento de tamaño del polen y el aumento del nivel poliploide. SUMMARY A palinological study of 35 taxa of Alliumirom the Iberian Península and Balearle Islands has been made. The length of the aperture has taxonomic va­ lué, it separates Sect. Allium, with very long aperture, from the other sec- tions. A relationship between polen size and polyploidy level has been obser- ved. INTRODUCCIÓN Este estudio se ha realizado como parte de una revisión del género Allium, tratando de obtener datos que pudieran ser utilizados en la taxonomía del grupo, a pesar de que se conocía de antemano el marcado carácter estenopolínico de la familia Liliáceas. Erdtman (1966: 236) indica para la tribu Allioideae, que los granos de polen son monosulcados y de longitud comprendida entre 37 - IByt (esto últi­ mo para Gagea lútea). 190 J- PASTOR Beug (1961, sec. W. Duyfjes, 1977: 13), describió el polen de 25 especies de Alliumáe origen europeo, indicando que las diferencias entre las distintas especies son pequeñísimas. Describió el polen como monosulcado, rectado- reticulado y de 30 - 40^. Observó también que en la sección Allium la única abertura es más larga que en el resto de las secciones.

  • Van Zyverden's
    Van Zyverden’s ALLIUM COLLECTION Allium are in the same family as garlic, onions, chives and shallots. This makes gardeners wonder if they should include them in their ornamental gardening plans since it conjures up images of supermarket produce. Allium’s rounded blooms make for high drama and interest in the garden because good garden designs are often made up of different shapes. The allium group becomes more popular annually with over 300 species to choose from. They amaze everyone and few plants create this kind of wow in the garden. We will be adding many new varieties soon! Beautiful garden accent/ Best buy collection of alliums perfect as a dried flower Deer and rodent resistant About This Variety: This picture perfect blends consists of Allium Moly, Neapolitanum and Ostrowskianum. A real value for the buck as they will multiply and colonize rather quickly, yet not overly aggressive. Growing Instructions: Since allium do not like wet feet, find a sunny location where the soil drains well. The bulbs will rot in wet areas. Aside from that, almost no maintenance is required. Care Tip: Dig, divide and replant bulbs after a few years of decreasing flower production. Exposure: Full Sun to Partial Shade Height: Grows 6-15” tall Spacing: Plant 4-5” apart, 5” deep USDA Zones: hardy in USDA zones 7-9 ® Guaranteed to grow 1 year from purchase Let’s get social! if directions are followed.

Email: [email protected] Talks to garden clubs and societies. ‘Alliums Of All Shapes & Sizes’ Last year I covered a number of fabulous Alliums that you plant and enjoy in your garden, however as there are so many excellent varieties to choose from, I have decided to look at some more - particularly as May & June is when the vast majority of them burst into flower. The main displays of spring flowering bulbs, including narcissi and most tulips, are just coming to an end in May. The Alliums fulfil a valuable task, bridging the gap between Spring & Summer before many of our herbaceous plants come into their prime. There are a vast array of wild Alliums in existence coming from areas such as Asia, North America and Europe – in fact the wild species number over 700 and with all the hybrids that have been bred over the years the choice is now literally thousands.

MONTEZUMA-DE-CARVALHO * Botanical Institute, University of Coimbra INTRODUCTION NITROUS oxide (laughing gas, N20) has been found to induce c-mitosis in root tips of Pisum sativum at atmos- pheric pressure (ÕSTERGREN, 1944) and in Allium cepa at a pressure of six atmospheres (PERGUSON et al., 1950). Based on this c-effect N20 has been applied, by several authors, to zygotes at the time of its first cleavage in order to obtain polyploid plants (ÕSTERGREN, 1955 in Crepis capilla- ris; NYGREN, 1955 in Melandrium; ÕSTERGREN, 1957 in Pha- laris; KIHARA and TSUNEWAKI, 1960 in Triticum; ZEILING and SCHOUTEN, 1966 in Tulipa). It has also been shown that N20 readily induces, under pressure, c-mitosis in the pollen tubes in styles (MONTEZUMA-DE-CARVALHO, 1967). As far as we know no Work has been done on the effects of N20 on meiosis. In the present paper we describe some results that demonstrate that this gas can drastically change the course of meiosis by its property of spindle inhibition (c-effect).

    Article Fl. Medit. 29: 163-180 https://doi.org/10.7320/FlMedit29.163 Version of Record published online on 23 September 2019 Cristina Salmeri Plant morphology: outdated or advanced discipline in modern plant sciences?* Abstract Salmeri, C.: Plant morphology: outdated or advanced discipline in modern plant sciences? — Fl. Medit. 29: 163-180. 2019. — ISSN: 1120-4052 printed, 2240-4538 online. In the last decades, with the increase of molecular studies, the study of plant forms has gone through a steady decline in interest, and researches on this topic are often neglected and under- estimated. Notwithstanding, comparative morphology as integrative discipline still assumes a pivotal role in modern sciences, remaining fundamentally relevant to nearly all fields of plant biology, such as systematics, evolutionary biology, ecology, physiology, genetics, molecular biology, not to mention also agriculture, bioengineering, and forensic botany. Contrary to com- mon belief, plant morphology is not a conservative finished science, but, like other sciences, it is open to constant innovations involving both concepts and methods. This contribution aims to promote a reflective discourse on the role of plant morphology in modern sciences and provides some examples of significant supports from plant morphology to different botanical issues. Key words: Systematics, plant micromorphology, seed coat sculpturing, leaf anatomy, ecomor- phology, climate adaptation. Introduction Despite the increasing societal awareness and sensitivity about the knowledge of bio- logical diversity and ecosystem functioning as pivotal matters for nature conservation on which human health and well-being fundamentally depend, studies in morphology-based classical taxonomy have increasingly become marginalized and considered less significant than other scientific methods in plant biology.

  • Influence of the Mother Bulb Size on the Growth and Development of Allium ‘Purple Rain’
    Influence of the Mother Bulb Size on the Growth and Development of Allium ‘Purple Rain’ 1* 1 1 1 Aurelia Elena ROȘCA , Lucia DRAGHIA , Liliana Elena CHELARIU , Maria BRÎNZĂ *)1 University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Iasi, Romania Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] BulletinUASVM Horticulture 73(2) / 2016 Print ISSN 1843-5254, Electronic ISSN 1843-5394 DOI:10.15835/buasvmcn-hort:12253 Abstract The experiment aim was Alliumto study the influences of the mother bulb weight on the growth and development, of the plants of ornamental onion. The study was conducted during October 2015 – June 2016 and the biologic material was represented by ‘Purple Rain’. The bulbs were divided in three different weight groups: W1 (15.1-30 g), W2 (5.1-15 g), W3 (< 5 g), which reprezented the three variants (V1, V2, respectively V3). The bulbs were planted in the field and the plants were studied thru biometric determinations. The results were compared with the average of the experiment. The research showed that the analyzed characters (number and length of leaves, number and weight of new formed bulbs, flowers yield, diameter of the inflorescence) were decreasing from V1 to V3 variant. The highest number of the flowering plants (98.9 %) resulted from V1 variant. From V2, bloomed only 20% of the bulbs and from V3 the bulbs have not flourished. The first flowers were obteined from the plants resulted from the biggest bulbs (V1), while the plants from V2 flourished with arround 3 days later and the plants from V3 florished with around 7 days later.
