ABSTRACT Oxalis Triangularis (A.St.-Hil) Or Commonly Known As
ABSTRACT Oxalis triangularis (A.St.-Hil) or commonly known as ‘Pokok Rama-rama’ in Malaysia is a beautiful ornamental plant which is propagated by bulbs. The plant grows to a height of 0.1 m - 0.2 m and is perfect for cultivating in pots or containers. Nowadays, with the emerging and advanced technologies, an efficient protocol has been established for a rapid multiplication of Oxalis triangularis in a large scale production under aseptic conditions. In vitro plant regeneration of Oxalis triangularis was successfully obtained in the present study via petiole and leaf as explants. The petiole explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l α-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 1.0 mg/l Kinetin (KIN) produced maximum number of adventitious shoots (12 shoots) while for leaf explants, the best treatment achieved on MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l NAA and 1.5 mg/l 6- Benzylaminopurine (BAP) which produced a maximum of 14 shoots within 8 weeks. Comparison between in vivo plants and in vitro was observed using a Scanning Electron Microscope. The morphological features for both petiole and leaf samples have no differences. Both contain same structures of stomata and trichomes. In vitro flowering which is very important in order to improve quality and shortened physiological process of flowering was observed when adventitious shoots explants cultured on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/l NAA and 0.5 mg/l BAP (90% in vitro flowering). In the synthetic seeds study, two different storage durations were tested (Day 7 and Day 30). The highest frequency of synthetic seeds production in Oxalis triangularis was recorded on Day 7 with 96.67% of conversion frequency.

Nutritional and Physiological Studies of Oxalis Regnellii
NUTRITIONAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF OXALIS REGNELLII A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Chad Thomas Miller January 2011 © 2011 Chad Thomas Miller NUTRITIONAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF OXALIS REGNELLII Chad Miller, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 Shamrock Plant (Oxalis regnellii) is an ornamental plant grown primarily for St. Patrick‘s Day. Interveinal chlorosis is a production problem and has been hypothesized to be caused by micronutrient deficiencies, either iron (Fe) or manganese (Mn) or virus. Several experiments were conducted testing these hypotheses. A virus screen was conducted and positive identification was found and plants were rouged. - + Oxalis plants were grown hydroponically on five NO3 -N:NH4 -N ratio - treatments. Increasing proportions of NO3 -N increased total leaf, root, flower, and bottom shoot biomasses. Other hydroponic studies were conducted removing Fe and Mn from nutrient solutions to characterize the respective deficiencies. Iron deficiency, characteristic interveinal chlorosis on newly developed leaves was observed as early as three weeks after removing Fe. Plants grown without Mn did not exhibit interveinal chlorosis, but were slightly less green than control plants grown in complete nutrient solutions. Iron deficiency was also induced in a greenhouse media, using dolomitic lime. Again, typical interveinal chlorosis and reduced plant growth was observed after two weeks. Tissue analysis confirmed the chlorosis was due to reduced Fe as opposed to limited N or Mn concentrations. Our data suggest Fe influences interveinal chlorosis more than Mn. Micronutrient chelate foliar and media applications were assessed as corrective measures for foliar chlorosis.

Oxalis” Are You Looking for Shamrocks This March Just in Time for St
Bell County Master Gardeners Tip of the Week By Candy Mullen “Oxalis” Are you looking for shamrocks this March just in time for St. Patrick’s Day? Try the Oxalis plant, as true shamrocks are difficult to find in Central Texas. Oxalis is often called a shamrock plant because it has three leaves like a shamrock. There are many different species of this plant, and the green plant with white or pink flowers grows well in Zone 8 or Central Texas. Look in your favorite grocery store and you will probably find the oxalis, which belongs to a large family with over 800 varieties, native to Chile and South Africa. They grow from small corms or tuberous roots. These roots produce delicate, clover-like leaves that are light sensitive and close on cloudy days and at night (nyctinstic movements). The leaves range from a green to purple with flowers that come in a variety of colors; white, cream, yellow, pink, purple and red. Oxalis regnelli has white flowers and green foliage. Another version, Oxalis triangularis has purple leaves with pinkish to white flowers. The earliest reference to the shamrock was in the 5th century when St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the Trinity to the Druids. There is no proof of knowing that this really happened, however, the shamrock continued to become a part of Irish legend and history. Today in Ireland, the three-lobed leaf is a symbol of Ireland and is proudly worn as a “good luck” badge on St. Patrick’s Day. The “lucky clover” is not the same as the Oxalis shamrock plant sold at the grocery stores around St.

Email: [email protected] Abstract The research presented in this paper had the purpose of Key words inventory and knowledge of spontaneous and subspontaneous plant species of Botanical Garden "Vasile Fati" Jibou, Salaj, Romania. Following systematic Jibou Botanical Garden, investigations undertaken in the botanical garden a large number of spontaneous flora, spontaneous taxons were found from the Romanian flora (650 species of adventive and vascular plants and 20 species of moss). Also were inventoried 38 species of subspontaneous plants, adventive plants, permanently established in Romania and 176 vascular plant floristic analysis, Romania species that have migrated from culture and multiply by themselves throughout the garden. In the garden greenhouses were found 183 subspontaneous species and weeds, both from the Romanian flora as well as tropical plants introduced by accident. Thus the total number of wild species rises to 1055, a large number compared to the occupied area. Some rare spontaneous plants and endemic to the Romanian flora (Galium abaujense, Cephalaria radiata, Crocus banaticus) were found. Cultivated species that once migrated from culture, accommodated to environmental conditions and conquered new territories; standing out is the Cyrtomium falcatum fern, once escaped from the greenhouses it continues to develop on their outer walls. Jibou Botanical Garden is the second largest exotic species can adapt and breed further without any botanical garden in Romania, after "Anastasie Fătu" care [11].

Sen 2* 1Plant Molecular Biology Division, Department of Botany, Visva-Bharati Santiniketan 731 235, India. 2Microbiology Division, Department of Botany, Visva-Bharati Santiniketan 731 235, India. Accepted 22 August, 2008 Color becomes the most sensitive part of any commodity not only for its appeal but also it enhances consumer acceptability. In addition, the color of a food substance is important to indicate its freshness and safety that are also indices of good aesthetic and sensorial values. For natural color and additives, adherence to the norms of biosafety protocol, are limited. The demand for natural source of such compounds is increasing day by day because of awareness of positive health benefit out of natural compounds. It therefore, necessitates looking into natural sources of food grade colorants and their use potentials. It is found more justified to use the term biocolorant instead of biopigment. Since pigments are mostly water insoluble with exceptions of certain pigments of biological origin. This article includes the advancements of process development and other biotechnological aspects of natural food grade colorants. Key words: Biocolorants, natural food colorants, carotenoids, anthocyanins, betalains, biotechnology. INTRODUCTION Color is a molecule that absorbs certain wavelengths of the nature of the ambient illumination, and also by the visible light and transmits or reflects others whereas color properties of nearby objects, via perceiving ability of colorant is the activity of that molecule (Hari et al., 1994).

Thamnoxys (Oxalidaceae) based on morphological data Maria Carolina de Abreu1, Marcos José da Silva2 & Margareth Ferreira de Sales3 Resumo O gênero Oxalis possui 500 espécies com ocorrência na América e África. Encontra-se dividido em quatro subgêneros e 28 seções, dentre os quais o subgênero Thamnoxys (Endl.) Progel, com nove seções e 71 espécies, destaca-se pela complexidade morfológica. No intuito de entender as relações filogenéticas da seção Thamnoxys e desta com as demais seções do subgênero, realizou-se uma análise cladística baseada em caracteres morfológicos. Foram incluídos 28 táxons e considerados 72 caracteres morfológicos. A análise resultou em 673 árvores igualmente parcimoniosas com 274 passos. Na árvore de consenso observou-se a formação do grupo monofilético Oxalis subgen. Thamnoxys tendo como sinapomorfias ausência de bulbos, pecíolos de até 10 cm compr., folhas pinadas (presença de raque foliar), pedúnculo menor que 7 cm compr., pedicelo de até 1 cm compr. e ausência de glândulas no ápice das sépalas. Oxalis sect. Thamnoxys apresentou-se polifilética e para que este táxon constitua um grupo monofilético é necessária a inclusão das demais seções dentro de O. sect. Thamnoxys. Sugerimos considerar o subgênero Thamnoxys sem subdivisões já que o mesmo emergiu com alta sustentação de boostrap. Palavras-chave: Brasil, filogenia, morfologia, Oxalidales.

This genus is subdivided into four subgenera, and its species present great morphological variation, which makes it difficult to identify them. The aim of this study was to make a survey of scientific publications which presented chromosome numbers of species of Oxalis, and to compare the chromosome numbers to the taxonomic classification proposed by Alicia Lourteig. Published chromosome counts were found for 112 species. We infered that there is apparently no relation between the chromosome numbers of the species of Oxalis and the taxonomic classification proposed by Lourteig, as species belonging to a same subgenus did not present a coherent pattern in chromosome numbers.

Taxonomic Notes on Acaulescent Oxalis (Oxalidaceae) in the United States
Phytologia (December 2009) 91(3) 501 TAXONOMIC NOTES ON ACAULESCENT OXALIS (OXALIDACEAE) IN THE UNITED STATES Guy L. Nesom 2925 Hartwood Drive Fort Worth, TX 76109, USA www.guynesom.com ABSTRACT A key to species and typification summaries with descriptions, notes on variation, and geography are presented for 10 acaulescent Oxalis species occurring in the USA, both native and naturalized: O. articulata, O. caerulea, O. debilis, O. decaphylla, O. drummondii, O. intermedia, O. latifolia, O. metcalfei, O. triangularis, and O. violacea. Oxalis metcalfei (previously identified in the USA mostly as O. alpina) occurs in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. Oxalis latifolia occurs in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, at the northern extremity of its range. Oxalis intermedia, native to the West Indies, has previously been known to be naturalized in the USA in Florida and is reported here from Louisiana and Texas. Oxalis debilis (including O. corymbosa) occurs across seven coastal states of the southeastern USA and is reported here for California by a voucher and for Washington by a sight record. Phytologia 91(3): 501-526 (December, 2009). KEY WORDS: Oxalis sect. Ionoxalis, Oxalis latifolia, Oxalis articulata, Oxalis debilis, Oxalis intermedia, taxonomy, distribution Oxalis sect. Ionoxalis (Small) R. Knuth includes bulb- producing, acaulescent species with white to blue, purple, or pink flowers. The North American representatives were monographed by Denton (1973), who provided useful insights into a taxonomically difficult group, but problems have remained and identifications have been inconsistent. In Arizona and New Mexico, particularly, where Denton recognized the presence of O. alpina, O. latifolia, O. drummondii, “aff.
