  • Growing Herbs in Laramie County
    Catherine Wissner UW Extension Service Laramie County Cheyenne, Wyoming What they offer: planting information, ancient history and lore, poetry, musings, photography, illustrations, recipes, chemical constituents and medicinal virtues of herbs. From the botanical viewpoint, an herb is a seed plant that does not produce a woody stem like a tree. But an herb will live long enough to develop flowers and seeds. Richters catalog out of Canada, list over 200 herbs, 43 different types of Basil, 40 mints, 15 Rosemary’s, 35 Sages, and 10 Beebalms. Seed Savers Exchange lists over 350 herbs. So many choices so little time….. Known as the mint family. Comprising about 210 genera and some 3,500 species. The plants are frequently aromatic in all parts include many widely used culinary, such as: Basil, Mint, Rosemary, Sage, Savory, Marjoram, Oregano, Thyme, Lavender. Mostly with opposite leaves, when crushed the foliage usually emitting various, mostly pleasant odors. Stems usually square. Flowers usually abundant and quite attractive, the sepals and corollas variously united. Calyx 2-lipped or not. Corollas strongly 2-lipped (labiate, hence the family name). Herbs fit into one or more classifications according to use - - culinary, aromatic, ornamental, and medicinal. Culinary herbs are probably the most useful to herb gardeners, having a wide range of uses in cooking. Strong herbs -- winter savory, rosemary, sage. Herbs for accent -- sweet basil, dill, mint, sweet marjoram, tarragon, thyme. Herbs for blending -- chives, parsley, summer savory.. Aromatic herbs Most have pleasant smelling flowers or foliage. Oils from aromatic herbs can also be used to produce perfumes and various scents.

  • Plant Damage from Air Pollution
    report on RPD No. 1005 PLANT July 2002 DEPARTMENT OF CROP SCIENCES DISEASE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN PLANT DAMAGE FROM AIR POLLUTION Air pollution damage to vegetation has been recognized for more than 125 years. Air pollutants are a fact of modern life. The best guess is that between 100 and 200 million tons of man-made air pollutants are released each year into the atmosphere in the United States. According to U.S. EPA’s “Latest Findings on National Air Quality: 2000 Status and Trends”, over 160 million tons of pollution are emitted into the air each year in the United States. As society has become more industrialized, laws regulating air pollution have become more intense. Before 1955 only smoke laws existed. The U.S. Figure 1. Ozone injury to petunia plants. Clean Air Amendments of 1967 and 1970 established maximum limits, or standards, for several major air pollutants. Two standards are applied to each pollutant: The primary standard, which protects human health, and the secondary standard, which protects human welfare–principally plants and human structures. The clean air legislation also established federal and state environmental protection agencies (EPAs) and pollution control boards to monitor pollutant concentrations and enforce the air quality standards. For example, the Illinois EPA operates monitors for ozone (Figure 1) and sulfur dioxide, the two most common plant-damaging pollutants, in 23 of the state’s 102 counties. As a result, aggregate emissions of six principal pollutants tracked nationally have been cut 29 percent since 1970. Despite this progress, ground-level ozone levels in the southern and north central states have actually worsened in the past 10 years.

  • Population Structure, Genetic Diversity and Downy Mildew Resistance Among Ocimum Species Germplasm Robert M
    Pyne et al. BMC Plant Biology (2018) 18:69 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12870-018-1284-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Population structure, genetic diversity and downy mildew resistance among Ocimum species germplasm Robert M. Pyne* , Josh A. Honig, Jennifer Vaiciunas, Christian A. Wyenandt and James E. Simon* Abstract Background: The basil (Ocimum spp.) genus maintains a rich diversity of phenotypes and aromatic volatiles through natural and artificial outcrossing. Characterization of population structure and genetic diversity among a representative sample of this genus is severely lacking. Absence of such information has slowed breeding efforts and the development of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) with resistance to the worldwide downy mildew epidemic, caused by the obligate oomycete Peronospora belbahrii. In an effort to improve classification of relationships 20 EST-SSR markers with species- level transferability were developed and used to resolve relationships among a diverse panel of 180 Ocimum spp. accessions with varying response to downy mildew. Results: ResultsobtainedfromnestedBayesianmodel-basedclustering, analysis of molecular variance and unweighted pair group method using arithmetic average (UPGMA) analyses were synergized to provide an updated phylogeny of the Ocimum genus. Three (major) and seven (sub) population (cluster) models were identified and well-supported (P < 0.001) by PhiPT (ΦPT) values of 0.433 and 0.344, respectively. Allelic frequency among clusters supported previously developed hypotheses of allopolyploid genome structure. Evidence of cryptic population structure was demonstrated for the k1 O. basilicum cluster suggesting prevalence of gene flow. UPGMA analysis provided best resolution for the 36-accession, DM resistant k3 cluster with consistently strong bootstrap support.

  • Freelance Plant Breeding (2021
    5 Freelance Plant Breeding Carol S. Deppe Fertile Valley Seeds, Corvallis, OR, USA ABSTRACT A vibrant community of freelance plant breeders is breeding crops for better flavor, local adaptation, performance in organic and sustainable systems, and other virtues. Most varieties bred for organics in recent decades have been bred by freelance plant breeders. Freelancers are strongly committed to agricultural biodiversity and work on myriad rare crops and wild species in addition to common crops. Freelance breeders have succeeded in extending the practical growing ranges for a number of crops. They sometimes breed for resistance to specific diseases that matter in their regions. They have bred varieties for spe- cial purposes, such as squash for drying in the summer squash stage for use as a dried vegetable, flint corns for whole‐grain polenta, special varieties of flour corns for parching to make a tasty snack food, quinoa for use as greens, and lettuce and spinach varieties for harvest at the baby‐leaf stage. Freelance plant breeders have rediscovered and modernized the concept of breeding and using landraces. They often create deliberately variable varieties that can be superior to more uniform varieties for particular purposes—such as lettuce varieties that give a desirable mix of colors and shapes from a single intercrossing and segregating population. Freelancers sometimes engage in elaborate collaborations; one such collaboration involves more than 200 par- ticipants in four countries and has released more than a hundred dwarf tomato varieties. Freelance plant breeders actively support and encourage seed saving and focus on breeding open‐pollinated varieties. They eschew all forms of propri- etary control over seed, from the legal means of intellectual property to the biological means of F1 hybrids.

  • 175 Section 6 Stone Fruits (Prunus Spp.)
    SECTION 6 STONE FRUITS (PRUNUS SPP.) 1. Introduction A. General Background The genus of Prunus sensu latu comprises more domesticated (also cultivated) species of temperate fruits than the other genera in the family of Rosaceae (Malus, Pyrus, Sorbus, Cydonia, Rubus, Fragaria). One of the obvious reasons for the abundant domestication might have been the coincidence between the location of the centre of variability of Prunus and the site of human evolution and/or of the first ancient high civilisations of human history. Improvement of fruit trees through traditional breeding methods is a long-term effort because of their lengthy generation time. Thus, new approaches are researched to attain the envisaged breeding goals in a reasonable time frame. Genetic transformation is potentially useful, because specific genetic changes can be made. In the last few years successful examples of resistance breeding against viruses from different plant virus families have been reported, using the coat protein-mediated cross protection approach (Beachy et al., 1990). However, only very few fruit trees have been among these experiments due to the difficulties in transformation protocols. “Cross protection” was originally described as the phenomenon of protection of a plant against the invasion of a severe disease-causing virus due to prior inoculation of the plant with an attenuated virus strain (McKinney, 1929). Hamilton postulated in 1980 that the expression of sequences from the viral genome, if expressed in transgenic plants, could possibly cause a protection against viruses. In fact by the expression of the viral coat protein gene in transgenic plants, similar effects could be obtained, and it was therefore distinguished as coat protein mediated protection (Beachy et al., 1990).
