  • Comparative Analysis and Implications of the Chloroplast Genomes of Three Thistles (Carduus L., Asteraceae)
    Comparative analysis and implications of the chloroplast genomes of three thistles (Carduus L., Asteraceae) Joonhyung Jung1,*, Hoang Dang Khoa Do1,2,*, JongYoung Hyun1, Changkyun Kim1 and Joo-Hwan Kim1 1 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi, Korea 2 Nguyen Tat Thanh Hi-Tech Institute, Nguyen Tat Thanh University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT Background. Carduus, commonly known as plumeless thistles, is a genus in the Asteraceae family that exhibits both medicinal value and invasive tendencies. However, the genomic data of Carduus (i.e., complete chloroplast genomes) have not been sequenced. Methods. We sequenced and assembled the chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequences of three Carduus species using the Illumina Miseq sequencing system and Geneious Prime. Phylogenetic relationships between Carduus and related taxa were reconstructed using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference analyses. In addition, we used a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the protein coding region of the matK gene to develop molecular markers to distinguish C. crispus from C. acanthoides and C. tenuiflorus. Results. The cpDNA sequences of C. crispus, C. acanthoides, and C. tenuiflorus ranged from 152,342 bp to 152,617 bp in length. Comparative genomic analysis revealed high conservation in terms of gene content (including 80 protein-coding, 30 tRNA, and four rRNA genes) and gene order within the three focal species and members of subfamily Carduoideae. Despite their high similarity, the three species differed with respect to the number and content of repeats in the chloroplast genome. Additionally, eight Submitted 28 February 2020 hotspot regions, including psbI-trnS_GCU, trnE_UUC-rpoB, trnR_UCU-trnG_UCC, Accepted 11 December 2020 Published 14 January 2021 psbC-trnS_UGA, trnT_UGU-trnL_UAA, psbT-psbN, petD-rpoA, and rpl16-rps3, were identified in the study species.

In the research, the pure oriental spruce stands in the subalpine zone were evaluated according to their wood production (F1), erosion control (F2), water production (F3), grass productivity-wild life habitat (F4), scenic beauty (F5) and avalanche prevention (F6) functions. Functional characteristics were rated as a scalar value between 1 (the worst) and 5 (the best) according to some observations, and exact differences were fixed between the functional characteristics of the treeline and the timberline stands. Determinations were realized in total of 46 sampling plots. 23 of the sampling plots were in treeline and 23 of them were in timberline. According to the results the F1, F2 and F6 values in the timberline were more effective than treeline stands. However F3, F4 and F5 values in the treeline were more effective than timber line stands. The average F1 value was 1.22 in the treeline and 3.04 in the timberline, F2 value was 3.0 in treeline and 3.61 in timberline, F3 value was 2.91 in the treeline and 2.43 in the timberline, F4 value was 3.35 in the treeline and 2.74 in the timberline, F5 value was 3.70 in treeline and 3.43 in timberline.

  • Non-Expressway Master Plant List
    MASTER PLANT LIST GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO PLANT LISTS Plants are living organisms. They possess variety in form, foliage and flower color, visual texture and ultimate size. There is variation in plants of the same species. Plants change: with seasons, with time and with the environment. Yet here is an attempt to categorize and catalogue a group of plants well suited for highway and expressway planting in Santa Clara County. This is possible because in all the existing variety of plants, there still remains a visual, morphological and taxonomical distinction among them. The following lists and identification cards emphasize these distinctions. 1 of 6 MASTER PLANT LIST TREES Acacia decurrens: Green wattle Acacia longifolia: Sydney golden wattle Acacia melanoxylon: Blackwood acacia Acer macrophyllum: Bigleaf maple Aesculus californica: California buckeye Aesculus carnea: Red horsechestnut Ailanthus altissima: Tree-of-heaven Albizia julibrissin: Silk tree Alnus cordata: Italian alder Alnus rhombifolia: White alder Arbutus menziesii: Madrone Calocedrus decurrens: Incense cedar Casuarina equisetifolia: Horsetail tree Casuarina stricta: Coast beefwood Catalpa speciosa: Western catalpa Cedrus deodara: Deodar cedar Ceratonia siliqua: Carob Cinnamomum camphora: Camphor Cordyline australis: Australian dracena Crataegus phaenopyrum: Washington thorn Cryptomeria japonica: Japanese redwood Cupressus glabra: Arizona cypress Cupressus macrocarpa: Monterey cypress Eriobotrya japonica: Loquat Eucalyptus camaldulensis: Red gum Eucalyptus citriodora: Lemon-scented

  • Purple Loosestrife Lythrum Salicaria L
    Weed of the Week Purple Loosestrife Lythrum salicaria L. Native Origin: Eurasia- Great Britain, central and southern Europe, central Russia, Japan, Manchuria China, Southeast Asia, and northern India Description: Purple loosestrife is an erect perennial herb in the loosestrife family (Lythraceae), growing to a height of 3-10 feet. Mature plants can have 1 to 50 4-sided stems that are green to purple and often branching making the plant bushy and woody in appearance. Opposite or whorled leaves are lance-shaped, stalk-less, and heart-shaped or rounded at the base. Plants are usually covered by a downy pubescence. Flowers are magenta-colored with five to seven petals and bloom from June to September. Seeds are borne in capsules that burst at maturity in late July or August. Single stems can produce an estimated two to three million seeds per year from a single rootstock. The root system consists of a large, woody taproot with fibrous rhizomes. Rhizomes spread rapidly to form dense mats that aid in plant production. Habitat: Purple loosestrife is capable of invading wetlands such as freshwater wet meadows, tidal and non-tidal marshes, river and stream banks, pond edges, reservoirs, and ditches. Distribution: This species is reported from states shaded on Plants Database map. It is reported invasive in CT, DC, DE, ID, IN, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, NC, NE, NH, NJ, NY, OH, OR, PA, RI, TN, UT, VA, VT, WA, and WI. Ecological Impacts: It spreads through the vast number of seeds dispersed by wind and water, and vegetatively through underground stems at a rate of about one foot per year.

  • Atoll Research Bulletin No. 503 the Vascular Plants Of
    ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN NO. 503 THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF MAJURO ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS BY NANCY VANDER VELDE ISSUED BY NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION WASHINGTON, D.C., U.S.A. AUGUST 2003 Uliga Figure 1. Majuro Atoll THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF MAJURO ATOLL, REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS ABSTRACT Majuro Atoll has been a center of activity for the Marshall Islands since 1944 and is now the major population center and port of entry for the country. Previous to the accompanying study, no thorough documentation has been made of the vascular plants of Majuro Atoll. There were only reports that were either part of much larger discussions on the entire Micronesian region or the Marshall Islands as a whole, and were of a very limited scope. Previous reports by Fosberg, Sachet & Oliver (1979, 1982, 1987) presented only 115 vascular plants on Majuro Atoll. In this study, 563 vascular plants have been recorded on Majuro. INTRODUCTION The accompanying report presents a complete flora of Majuro Atoll, which has never been done before. It includes a listing of all species, notation as to origin (i.e. indigenous, aboriginal introduction, recent introduction), as well as the original range of each. The major synonyms are also listed. For almost all, English common names are presented. Marshallese names are given, where these were found, and spelled according to the current spelling system, aside from limitations in diacritic markings. A brief notation of location is given for many of the species. The entire list of 563 plants is provided to give the people a means of gaining a better understanding of the nature of the plants of Majuro Atoll.

Abstract Patterns of flammability across the vascular plant phylogeny, with special emphasis on the genus Dracophyllum by Xinglei Cui Fire has been part of the environment for the entire history of terrestrial plants and is a common disturbance agent in many ecosystems across the world. Fire has a significant role in influencing the structure, pattern and function of many ecosystems. Plant flammability, which is the ability of a plant to burn and sustain a flame, is an important driver of fire in terrestrial ecosystems and thus has a fundamental role in ecosystem dynamics and species evolution. However, the factors that have influenced the evolution of flammability remain unclear.

  • Some Botanical Highlights in the Gardens at the Moment
    Some botanical highlights in the Gardens at the moment The numbers refer to the gardens as shown on your map. There is plenty of colour in the Garden this month but our flagship plants, which are at their very best, are the giant Echiums. You will notice them throughout the Garden but the best show is in the Mediterranean Garden (10). Our Echiums are endemic plants from Macronesia, the groups of islands in the north Atlantic off the coast of Europe and north Africa. Giant Echiums (Echium pinnianum) have impressive towering blue spires of flowers. They come from the Canary Islands where they grow in the native laurel forests and are endangered by habitat loss. There are many species of woody Echium on the Canaries, often confined to single islands or isolated mountain tops. At one time we grew many different species in the Garden but they have a tendency to hybridise with each other. The cold weather in March of this year killed off most of the tender species and we are left with a hybrid swarm of plants with flower colours varying from pale blue, bright blue, mauve and pink. Some are single stemmed and others form branched woody plants. This explains why, if you look closely, you will see a range of flower colour and growth form in the plants. Meanwhile, here are some other plants to look out for on your tour of the Garden. There is plenty of colour in the Garden at the moment. Just after passing through the Fig Pergola, if you turn right and walk to the commemorative seating area, you will find an unusual shrub in flower bearing yellow pom-pom flowers.
