Classificatie Van Planten – Nieuwe Inzichten En Gevolgen Voor De Praktijk B268_dendro_bin 03-11-2009 10:32 Pagina 4 Classificatie van planten – nieuwe inzichten en gevolgen voor de praktijk Ir. M.H.A. Hoffman Er zijn ongeveer 300.000 verschillende (hogere) plantensoorten, die onderling veel of weinig op elkaar lijken. Vroeger werden alle planten- soorten afzonderlijk benaamd, en was niet duidelijk hoe deze soorten ver- want waren. Tegenwoordig worden soorten conform het systeem van Lin- naeus ingedeeld in geslachten. Soorten die sterk verwant zijn aan elkaar hebben dezelfde geslachtsnaam. Geslachten worden op hun beurt weer ingedeeld in families en die op hun beurt weer in ordes, enzovoort. Op deze manier kent het plantenrijk een hiërarchisch indelingsysteem, met verwantschap als basis. Sterke verwantschap is meestal ook zicht- baar aan de uiterlijke gelijkenis. Soorten die veel op elkaar lijken en verwant zijn zitten in dezelfde groep.Verre verwanten zitten ver uit elkaar in het systeem. Om een plant goed te kunnen benamen, moet dus eerst uitgezocht worden aan welke andere soorten deze verwant is. Tot voor kort werd de gelijkenis van planten zen.

Hiervan waren vooral de Duitse botanici Otto Brunsfels, Hier- onymous Bock en Leonhard Fuchs belangrijk. Zij waren de eersten die uitgingen van eigen observaties en zich duidelijk losweekten van de meesters uit de oudheid. Zij werden door Linna- eus beschouwd als ‘de vaders van de botanie’. In 1554 publiceerde de Vlaming Rembert Dodoens het Nederlandstalige ‘ Cruydeboeck’ , een stan- daardwerk waarin hij zes groepen van gebruiks- planten onderscheidde. Kort daarna publiceerde de Italiaanse botanicus Andrea Cesalpino in 1583 “De plantis libri XVI”, waarin hij vooral bloemen, vruchten en zaden gebruikte voor zijn indelingssysteem. In 1596 werd door de Zweed- se botanicus Gaspard Bauhin “Pinax theatri botanici” gepubliceerd waarin meer dan 6000 planten waren opgenomen en geclassificeerd op een manier die te vergelij- ken is met de binomiale (tweedelige) nomenclatuur van Linnaeus.

Het belang van Linnaeus als vader van de moderne binomiale nomenclatuur staat buiten kijf. Zijn indelingssysteem in 24 klassen puur op voortplantingsorganen bleek echter al gauw ontoereikend omdat duidelijk uiteenlopende typen planten soms in dezelfde klasse vielen. Desondanks was zijn classificatiesysteem een belangrijke stap vooruit omdat het de weten- schappelijke beschrijving van de natuur verge- makkelijkte. 3.

For the first time, the anti-virulence potential and the safety for human use of the ethanol extracts of two medicinal plants, Persicaria maculosa (PEM) and Bistorta officinalis (BIO), have been addressed. Ethanol extracts of both plants exhibited anti-virulence activity against the medically important opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. At the subinhibitory concentration of 50 µg/mL, the extracts demonstrated a maximal inhibitory effect (approx. 50%) against biofilm formation, the highest reduction of pyocyanin production (47% for PEM and 59% for BIO) and completely halted the swarming motility of P.

    Top 50 Medicinal Plants Medicinal plants to create an Apothecary-style garden to help our pollinators List Curated by Thomas McBride From research data collected and collated at the National Botanic Garden of Wales NB: Butterflies and Moths are not studied at the NBGW so any data on nectar plants beneficial for them is taken from Butterfly Conservation Introduction At the National Botanic Garden of Wales, we feel it is important to recognise the rich history of botany and plant science we have in Wales and around the UK. One such way to display this is through a living museum of plants once used, and some still used, to treat various ailments and maintain good health. These medicinal plants can be grown together to create a physic garden or apothecaries garden; such as the one we have here. Apothecaries were herbal medicine specialists before the event of modern medicine. The apothecaries garden is split into sections depending on the usage of the plants. If you would also like to create one, you can use this model to help you. Almost all the selected plants are found in our Apothecaries Garden and many are also culinary herbs or ornamentals found elsewhere in the garden. Most of the plants used are native to or naturalised in Western Europe.

  • Intraspecific, Interspecific, and Interseries Cross-Compatibility in Lilac
    J. AMER.SOC.HORT.SCI. 142(4):279–288. 2017. doi: 10.21273/JASHS04155-17 Intraspecific, Interspecific, and Interseries Cross-compatibility in Lilac Jason D. Lattier 1 and Ryan N. Contreras 2 Department of Horticulture, 4017 Agriculture and Life Sciences Building, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331-7304 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. Syringa, Pubescentes, Villosae, in vitro germination, controlled crosses, wide hybridization ABSTRACT. Lilacs (Syringa sp.) are a group of ornamental trees and shrubs in the Oleaceae composed of 22–30 species from two centers of diversity: the highlands of East Asia and the Balkan-Carpathian region of Europe. There are six series within the genus Syringa: Pubescentes, Villosae, Ligustrae, Ligustrina, Pinnatifoliae, and Syringa. Intraspecific and interspecific hybridization are proven methods for cultivar development. However, reports of interseries hybridization are rare and limited to crosses among taxa in series Syringa and Pinnatifoliae. Although hundreds of lilac cultivars have been introduced, fertility and cross-compatibility have yet to be formally investigated. Over 3 years, a cross-compatibility study was performed using cultivars and species of shrub-form lilacs in series Syringa, Pubescentes, and Villosae. A total of 114 combinations were performed at an average of 243 ± 27 flowers pollinated per combination. For each combination, we recorded the number of inflorescences and flowers pollinated as well as number of capsules, seed, seedlings germinated, and albino seedlings. Fruit and seed were produced from interseries crosses, but no seedlings were recovered. A total of 2177 viable seedlings were recovered from interspecific and intraspecific combinations in series Syringa, Pubescentes, and Villosae. Albino progeny were produced only from crosses with Syringa pubescens ssp.

Day 1 Sunday 7th July The British Airways flight from Heathrow arrived an hour late, in Zurich. Once we had assembled, we caught the train to Zurich main station, where we changed to the intercity express. We passed Lake Zurich and the Walensee, meeting the Rhine as it flows into Liectenstein, and then changed to the UNESCO World Heritage Albula railway at Chur. Dramatic scenery and many loops, tunnels and bridges followed, as we made our way through the Alps. After passing through the long Preda tunnel, we entered the Engadine and made a third change, at Samedan, for the short ride to Pontresina. We were picked up by the hotel minibus and arrived at the hotel around 9.00 pm. After a delicious evening meal, we briefly talked over the plans for the week and retired for much-needed sleep. Day 2 Monday 8th July After a 20-minute walk from the hotel, we caught the 9.07am train, at Surovas. We had a scenic introduction to the geography of the region, as we travelled south along the length of Val Bernina, crossing the watershed, beside Lago Bianco, and alighting at Alp Grum.

Photo 4 July 2019, © Lliam Rooney Introduction Kent Botany 2019 is the tenth report in the Kent Botany series, reporting on current botanical developments in the county. It represents a significant milestone, as 2019 brings to an end ten seasons of recording by the Kent Botanical Recording Group, founded in March 2010. It is also the end of the Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland’s (BSBI) date class 2010-19, a ten-year period for the assemblage of records which may be compared with previous ten-year date classes, to identify trends in the distribution of our flora. In addition, it is the end of the BSBI’s Atlas 2020 project, which seeks to map the current status of the British and Irish flora, following up the last mapping (Preston et al., 2002), twenty years before. This report is issued primarily as a web version, maintained on the Kent page of the BSBI website, https://bsbi.org/kent, and this should be regarded as the definitive version. The text, substantially the same, is also published as hard copy within the Kent Field Club (KFC) Bulletin.

  • Disease and Insect Resistant Ornamental Plants: Syringa
    nysipm.cornell.edu 2018 hdl.handle.net/1813/56377 Disease and Insect Resistant Ornamental Plants Mary Thurn, Elizabeth Lamb, and Brian Eshenaur New York State Integrated Pest Management Program, Cornell University SYRINGA Lilac pixabay.com Syringa is a genus of about 30 species of lilac trees and shrubs native to Europe and Asia and widely grown as an ornamental in North America. For many, “lilac” brings to mind the common lilac, Syringa vulgaris, known for its fragrant masses of purple, lavender and white blooms in May. However, the common lilac is susceptible to several diseases and insects, including powdery mildew, bacterial blight, scale and borers. Some disease-resistant cultivars have been reported, and there are other less susceptible species and hybrids available. DISEASES Powdery Mildew is a common disease of lilacs caused primarily by the fungus Erysiphe syringae. Leaves of infected plants develop a whitish coating during the summer, and while it does not usually cause permanent damage, aesthetic quality can be greatly diminished. Cultivars of S. vulgaris are more susceptible than those of most other lilacs (8), and plants in shady sites with poor air circulation are more likely to be severely affected.

    Phedimus, succulents for most gardens part 1 (engl) Phedimus - Genus Écrit par Ray Stephenson Vendredi, 13 Février 2009 12:54 Succulents for most gardens Part 1 Phedimus RAY STEPHENSON First publication in C.S.J. vol.77, N°3, 2005. Figure 1 Seeds of Phedimus stellatus have germinated in a crack near the base of a horse trough - here photographed in January surviving a temperature of 38°F. Figure 2 Phedimus spurius is mostly used as ground-cover. Here 'Fulda Glut' is seen in June. Throughout my life, lack of space in the greenhouse has prompted me to place succulents outdoors in summertime for as long as possible. I have always been envious of those living in areas mild enough to make possible the permanent planting of succulents outdoors. The purpose of this article is to share quarter of a century's experience of growing succulents outdoors in the equivalent of Zone 6 and knowing well that many of the species I am to discuss are hardy to Zone 3.
