  • Elucidation of the Specificity of Sinorhizobium Meliloti Chemoreceptors
    Elucidation of the Specificity of Sinorhizobium meliloti Chemoreceptors for Host Derived Attractants Benjamin Allen Webb Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biological Sciences Birgit E. Scharf, Chair Richard F. Helm Florian D. Schubot Dorothea Tholl Mark A. Williams August 12th, 2016 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: alfalfa, chemotaxis, ligand, methyl accepting chemotaxis protein, symbiosis Copyright © 2016, Benjamin Allen Webb [Type here] Elucidation of the Specificity of S. meliloti Chemoreceptors for Host Derived Attractants Benjamin A. Webb ABSTRACT The bacterium Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) meliloti is a member of the Rhizobiaceae family and can enter a mutualistic, diazotrophic relationship with most plants of the genera Medicago, Melilotus, and Trigonella. Medicago sativa (alfalfa) is an agriculturally important legume that hosts S. meliloti and allows the bacterium to invade the plant root and begin fixing nitrogen. Prior to invasion, S. meliloti exists as a free living bacterium and must navigate through the soil to find alfalfa, using chemical signals secreted by the root. Alfalfa is the 4th most cultivated crop in the United States, therefore, identification of plant host signals that lure S. meliloti, and identification of the bacterium’s chemoreceptors that perceive the signals can aid in propagating the symbiosis more efficiently, thus leading to greater crop yields. Investigations here focus on discovering alfalfa derived attractant signals and matching them to their respective chemoreceptors in S. meliloti. We have determined the chemotactic potency of alfalfa seed exudate and characterized and quantified two classes of attractant compounds exuded by germinating alfalfa seeds, namely, amino acids and quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs).

Of the former, we might mention the splendid varieties of Cercis, with their purple flowers, the Acacias, with their airy foliage and silky stamens, the Pride of India, Colutea, and Cæsalpina, with a host of others, which, like the Sweet Pea, are redolent with perfume. Of the latter, the beans, peas, lentils, clover, and lucerne, are too well known to require recommendation. Among timber trees, the Rosewood (a Brazilian species of Mimosa), the Laburnum, whose wood is durable and of an olive-green color, and the Locust of our own country are preëminent. The following are a few important officinal products of this order. In medicine; liquorice is the product of the root of Glycyrrhiza glabra of S. Europe. The purgative senna consists of leaves of Cassia Senna, C. acutifolia, C. Æthiopica, and other species of Egypt and Arabia. C. Marilandica is also a cathartic, but more mild than the former. The sweet pulp tamarind, is the product of a large and beautiful tree (Tamarindus Indica) of the E. and W. Indies. Resins and Balsams: Gum Senegal is yielded by Acacia Verek of the River Senegal; Gum Arabic, by several species of Acacia of Central Africa; Gum Tragacynth, by Astragalus verus, &c., Persia.

  • Family Fabaceae
    CATNIP classes, Acme Botanical Services 2013 Fabaceae (Pea Family, Bean Family, Legume Family) The third largest family of angiosperms (behind the aster family (Asteraceae) and the orchid family (Orchidaceae), the Fabaceae includes somewhere between 16.000 and 20,000 species. It rivals the grass family (Poaceae) in terms of economic importance. The Fabaceae includes plants of all growth forms, from trees and shrubs down to annual and perennial herbs. Members are easy to recognize on the basis of the foliage, which involves compound leaves of various kinds; the flowers, which are of three types (see subfamilies below); and the fruit, which is a single-chambered dry pod. Three subfamilies are recognized. All three are well represented in the Capital area. Mimosoideae. In this subfamily, the leaves are twice-pinnately compound. The flowers are tightly packed into heads or spikes. The flowers are regular (radially symmetrical), but the perianth (corolla and calyx) is so tiny as to be scarcely noticeable. The stamens are the conspicuous part of the flower, usually numerous and 10 times or more as long as the corolla. In many species, such as Nuttall’s sensitive- briar (Mimosa nuttallii, right), the flower heads resemble pink pom-poms. Caesalpinoideae. Plants of this group have even-pinnate or odd-pinnate leaves. The flowers have a conspicuous corolla with 5 separate petals. The stamens are separate and visible (i.e., not concealed by the corolla. Most of the species in our area have yellow petals. Roemer’s two-leaf senna (Senna roemeriana, right) is typical. Papilionideae. This is the largest subfamily in our area, and the one with the bilaterally symmetrical two-lipped flowers that come to mind any time the pea family is mentioned.

  • Vascular Flora and Vegetation Classification of the South Atlantic Coastal Plain Limestone Forest Association of Central Georgia
    VASCULAR FLORA AND VEGETATION CLASSIFICATION OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC COASTAL PLAIN LIMESTONE FOREST ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL GEORGIA by PATRICK SUMNER LYNCH (Under the Direction of J.L. Hamrick) ABSTRACT The South Atlantic Coastal Plain Limestone forest is a globally imperiled (G2) forest association known only from the upper Coastal Plain of central Georgia. These calcareous forest communities support diverse floristic assemblages unique among the Georgia Coastal Plain, but have not been subject to detailed floristic study. I conducted a comprehensive floristic inventory, multivariate community analyses and floristic quality assessments to document composition, elucidate community structure and underlying physiographic regimes, and assess habitat integrity for seven sites in Houston, Bleckley and Twiggs counties. Community analyses revealed twelve community types within two floristically defined domains corresponding to uplands and slopes, and bottomlands, respectively, and governed largely by moisture content and degree of inclination. Floristic quality assessments revealed varying degrees of floristic quality and habitat integrity corresponding primarily to local physiography and disturbance history. Floristic inventory recovered 339 vascular plant taxa representing 218 genera in 98 families, including 17 rare Georgia species.
