  • Nutrient Deficiency Symptoms in Plants (DPI Vic)
    April, 1995 Nutrient deficiency symptoms of AG0257 plants ISSN 1329-8062 David Beardsell, Knoxfield Plants must absorb certain elements to live and grow. Carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) are the elements supplied from air and water. The growing media generally supplies the remaining nutrients required for plant growth. The major elements or macronutrients required by the plant are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulphur (S). The minor elements, trace elements or micronutrients necessary for healthy plant production are molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), boron (B), iron (Fe), and chlorine (Cl). Deficiencies or imbalances in supply of these essential elements can cause growth reductions, and in more severe cases visual symptoms are expressed in leaves and flowers. Nitrogen deficiency (N) Nitrogen is required by plants in higher concentrations than any of the other elements, except potassium in certain instances. Plants grown without nitrogen grow very slowly. Plants are stunted and show a general yellowing of the foliage. The symptoms of nitrogen deficiency will first occur in the older leaves. The leaves turn from a pale green Figure 1. Symptoms of nitrogen deficiency include stunted plant colour to a yellow and eventually leaf drop occurs. The growth.

  • Transmission of Bee-Like Vibrations in Buzz-Pollinated Plants with Different
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Transmission of bee‑like vibrations in buzz‑pollinated plants with diferent stamen architectures Lucy Nevard1*, Avery L. Russell2, Karl Foord3 & Mario Vallejo‑Marín1 In buzz‑pollinated plants, bees apply thoracic vibrations to the fower, causing pollen release from anthers, often through apical pores. Bees grasp one or more anthers with their mandibles, and vibrations are transmitted to this focal anther(s), adjacent anthers, and the whole fower. Pollen release depends on anther vibration, and thus it should be afected by vibration transmission through fowers with distinct morphologies, as found among buzz‑pollinated taxa. We compare vibration transmission between focal and non‑focal anthers in four species with contrasting stamen architectures: Cyclamen persicum, Exacum afne, Solanum dulcamara and S. houstonii. We used a mechanical transducer to apply bee‑like vibrations to focal anthers, measuring the vibration frequency and displacement amplitude at focal and non‑focal anther tips simultaneously using high‑speed video analysis (6000 frames per second). In fowers in which anthers are tightly arranged (C. persicum and S. dulcamara), vibrations in focal and non‑focal anthers are indistinguishable in both frequency and displacement amplitude. In contrast, fowers with loosely arranged anthers (E. afne) including those with diferentiated stamens (heterantherous S. houstonii), show the same frequency but higher displacement amplitude in non‑focal anthers compared to focal anthers. We suggest that stamen architecture modulates vibration transmission, potentially afecting pollen release and bee behaviour. Insects use substrate-borne vibrations in a range of ecological contexts, including conspecifc communication and the detection of prey and predators1,2. Tese vibrations are ofen produced and detected on plant material, and the physical properties of the plant substrate, such as stem stifness or leaf thickness, ofen afect vibration propagation3–5.

    ISSN1035-7394 Number 2 June 2014 Boronia and Allied Genera Australian Native Plants Society (Australia) Inc. Boronia and Allied Genera Study Group Newsletter Contents 1 Responses from Regions concerning growing Boronias 2 Diana’s Bath and ‘That’ Crowea 3 Allied Genera - Asterolasia 4 Purchasing Boronias 1 ISSN1035-7394 Number 2 June 2014 Growing Boronias A couple of responses were received to the survey in the last newsletter. I look forward to receiving further responses from other States and locations. Margaret Lee writes of growing Boronia megastigma on a commercial scale in the Adelaide Hills on the eastern slopes of Mount Lofty. The plants are growing in well drained loam over acid clay on an east facing slope and are sheltered from strong winds by an adjacent plantation of Waratah and surrounding Eucalyptus obliqua. The location reproduces the Mediterranean climate favoured by B. megastigma in its natural environment with winter rainfall of 600mm. Drip irrigation is used to prevent the soil drying out during long dry spells in summer. Drip irrigation is probably critical in plant survival avoiding excessive moisture whilst preventing desiccation as the location experiences maximum temperatures of 40 ˚ C and occasional frosts down to -5 ˚ C. Margaret is planning to grow another western species B. heterophylla which she has observed growing in the foothills south of Adelaide. Jan Sked writes from south east Queensland that her garden is heavily shaded with poorly draining soil and is more suited to rainforest plants. Nevertheless, she has grown B. rismarinifolia and B. keysii in pots. Jan reports that nine species of boronia grow within the Moreton District, bounded by Coolangatta, Noosa and Toowoomba.

  • Fusion Within and Between Whorls of Floral Organs in Galipeinae (Rutaceae): Structural Features and Evolutionary Implications
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2013 Fusion within and between whorls of floral organs in Galipeinae (Rutaceae): structural features and evolutionary implications El Ottra, Juliana Hanna Leite ; Pirani, José Rubens ; Endress, Peter K Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Most genera of the neotropical Galipeinae (tribe Galipeeae, Rutoideae) exhibit several forms and degrees of fusion between the floral organs, including the union of petals into an apparently sympetalous corolla, the joining of the stamens among themselves and to the corolla, and the partial to complete connation of carpels. Though these and others floral traits are cur- rently used in the circumscription of species in Galipeinae, few studies have shown in detail in which way (postgenital or congenital) and to what extent these fusions occur. To elucidate these anatomical condi- tions, a structural study of the flowers of the Galipeinae species was carried out. METHODS: Flowers of six species from three genera of Galipeinae were studied in their morphology, anatomy and development with stereomicroscopy, light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). KEY RESULTS: The floral tube is formed by synorganization of stamens with petals in all species, and exhibits threemain patterns: (1) Conchocarpus heterophyllus and C. minutiflorus have a floral tube formed by marginal coherence/adherence of petals and filaments due to interwining trichomes (postgenital connection); (2) Erythrochiton brasiliensis has a tube formed by congenital fusion of petals and filaments; and (3) Gali- pea jasminiflora and Conchocarpus macrophyllus have a tube formed distally with the first pattern, and proximally with the second pattern.

  • Geographic Variation in Crowea Exalata (Rutaceae) and the Recognition of Two New Subspecies
    Telopea 12(2) 193–213 Geographic variation in Crowea exalata (Rutaceae) and the recognition of two new subspecies Wayne A. Gebert1 and Marco F. Duretto2 1 National Herbarium of Victoria, Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, Private Bag 2000, South Yarra, VIC, 3141, Australia 2 Tasmanian Herbarium, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Private Bag 4, Hobart, TAS, 7001, Australia Author for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract Crowea exalata F.Muell. was sampled throughout its morphological and geographical range to test the validity of the current circumscription of the species and subspecies. Through numerical analysis of morphological and chemical (leaf flavonoids and volatile oils) data four taxa are recognised, subsp. exalata, subsp. revoluta Paul G.Wilson, subsp. magnifolia Gebert subsp. nov. and subsp. obcordata Gebert subsp. nov. Descriptions and a key to all taxa are provided. Introduction Crowea Sm. (Rutaceae) is an Australian genus of three species that was first described by J.E. Smith and named in honour of James Crowe esq. F.L.S. (Smith 1798, 1808). Smith, however, was not one to give specific epithets to species of monotypic genera, and in the case of Crowea this was done by Andrews (1800) when he described C. saligna Andrews (see Wilson 1970). Members of Crowea are multi-stemmed, erect, evergreen, woody perennials to 2 m tall with white to rose pink, solitary, axillary flowers. Probably the closest relative to Crowea is Eriostemon Sm. (Bayly et al. 1998; Wilson 1998). Eriostemon contains two species, E. australasius Pers. and E. banksii A.Cunn. ex Endl. Eriostemon australasius is often found in sympatry with C.
