CONGA™ RED CALIBRACHOA Calibrachoa Hybrida Characteristics Culture Noteworthy Characteristics Problems Garden Uses

CONGA™ RED CALIBRACHOA Calibrachoa hybrida Characteristics Type: Tender Perennial Sun: Full sun Zone: 9 to 11 Water: Medium Height: 6-10 Inches Fertilize: Every two weeks Spread: 8-10 Inches Maintenance: Low Spacing: 10 Inches Suggested Use: Annual Bloom Time: June to frost Flower: Showy Bloom Description: Red Culture Tender perennial that is winter hardy to USDA Zones 9-11. In Zone 8, it is grown as an annual. It is easily grown in moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates very light shade, but flowering decreases as the amount of part shade increases. Also tolerates drought. An abundance of bright blooms covers these well-branched, trailing plants. Plant are self-cleaning so they stay neat and tidy all season without the need for dead-heading. However, they do benefit from a serious cutting back towards the end of the summer. A very important color addition, a solid red is a must-have. The Conga Red is a bit more vigorous than the rest of the series. Noteworthy Characteristics Calibrachoa or trailing petunia is a tender perennial which produces flowers that look like small petunias. These are compact, mounded plants which grow 3-9” tall on mostly trailing stems. Sometimes commonly called million bells, these plants are prolific bloomers that produce hundreds of 1” wide flowers from spring to frost. Flower colors include shades of violet, blue, pink, red, magenta, yellow, bronze, and white. Calibrachoa is not recognized as a separate genus by many authorities including the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and Hortus Third. It is sometimes sold in commerce as Petunia ‘Million Bells’. Calibrachoa plants have simple demands: They require sunlight, enough water, and food. The plant is not hard to care for, but paying attention to its needs will keep it blooming from spring well into fall. While they can be planted in garden beds, they fare much better in containers. Problems No serious insect or disease problems. Garden Uses Best in hanging baskets, containers or as a small area ground cover. Also may be used in border fronts or rock gardens. .

A phylogeny of Solanaceae is presented based on the chloroplast DNA regions ndhF and trnLF. With 89 genera and 190 species included, this represents a nearly comprehensive genus-level sampling and provides a framework phylogeny for the entire family that helps integrate many previously-published phylogenetic studies within So- lanaceae. The four genera comprising the family Goetzeaceae and the monotypic families Duckeodendraceae, Nolanaceae, and Sclerophylaceae, often recognized in traditional classifications, are shown to be included in Solanaceae. The current results corroborate previous studies that identify a monophyletic subfamily Solanoideae and the more inclusive “x = 12” clade, which includes Nicotiana and the Australian tribe Anthocercideae. These results also provide greater resolution among lineages within Solanoideae, confirming Jaltomata as sister to Solanum and identifying a clade comprised primarily of tribes Capsiceae (Capsicum and Lycianthes) and Physaleae.

Plant specialized metabolism produces hundreds of thousands of compounds, offering striking examples of these innovations. To understand how this novelty is generated, we investigated the evolution of the Solanaceae family-specific, trichome- localized acylsugar biosynthetic pathway using a combination of mass spectrometry, RNA-seq, enzyme assays, RNAi and phylogenomics in different non-model species. Our results reveal hundreds of acylsugars produced across the Solanaceae family and even within a single plant, built on simple sugar cores.

Exploration and Collection of Ornamental Germplasm Native to Argentina
® Floriculture and Ornamental Biotechnology ©2011 Global Science Books Exploration and Collection of Ornamental Germplasm Native to Argentina María S. Soto* • Julián A. Greppi • Gabriela Facciuto Instituto de Floricultura. INTA Castelar. Los Reseros y Las Cabañas s/n. Hurlingham (1686), Buenos Aires, Argentina Corresponding author : * [email protected] ABSTRACT Many of the herbaceous ornamentals under cultivation, or their progenitor species, are endemic to South America and these taxa represent a valuable resource for future breeding programs. Argentina has contributed with an important number of ornamental varieties developed from native germplasm. For example varieties derivates from genera such as Petunia, Glandularia, Portulaca, Alstroemeria, Calceolaria and Calibrachoa have been successful and are broadly cultivated around the world. Since 1999, the breeding working group of the Flori- culture Institute (INTA-Argentina) has successfully addressed various techniques for the domestication, characterization and breeding of ornamental plants from native species. This work begins with the exploration and collection of native plants and finishes with the development of new varieties. According to latest estimates, the vascular flora of Argentina comprises a total of 248 families, 1927 genera and 9690 species, including 45 endemic genera and 1906 species. Among them, there are many herbs, shrubs and trees with many colorful flowers and these are worthy of being cultivated in our gardens. In this manuscript, we will present the plant

Flora of Stockton/Port Hunter Sandy Foreshores
Flora of the Stockton and Port Hunter sandy foreshores with comments on fifteen notable introduced species. Petrus C. Heyligers CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems, Queensland Biosciences Precinct, 306 Carmody Road, St. Lucia, Queensland 4067, AUSTRALIA. [email protected] Abstract: Between 1993 and 2005 I investigated the introduced plant species on the Newcastle foreshores at Stockton and Macquaries Pier (lat 32º 56’ S, long 151º 47’ E). At North Stockton in a rehabilitated area, cleared of *Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. rotundata, and planted with *Ammophila arenaria interspersed with native shrubs, mainly Acacia longifolia subsp. sophorae and Leptospermum laevigatum, is a rich lora of introduced species of which *Panicum racemosum and *Cyperus conglomeratus have gradually become dominant in the groundcover. Notwithstanding continuing maintenance, *Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. rotundata has re-established among the native shrubs, and together with Acacia longifolia subsp. sophorae, is important in sand stabilisation along the seaward edge of the dune terrace. The foredune of Little Park Beach, just inside the Northern Breakwater, is dominated by Spinifex sericeus and backed by Acacia longifolia subsp. sophorae-*Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. rotundata shrubbery. In places the shrubbery has given way to introduced species such as *Oenothera drummondii, *Tetragonia decumbens and especially *Heterotheca grandilora. At Macquaries Pier *Chrysanthemoides monilifera subsp. rotundata forms an almost continuous fringe between the rocks that protect the pier against heavy southerlies. However, its presence on adjacent Nobbys Beach is localised and the general aspect of this beach is no different from any other along the coast as it is dominated by Spinifex sericeus. Many foreign plant species occur around the sandy foreshores at Port Hunter.

Calibrachoa Superbells Dark Eye, These New Additions to the Superbells Line Will Make a Statement in Any Garden Application
CULTURE CONNECTION CROP CULTURE REPORT Known for their distinctive Calibrachoa Superbells dark eye, these new additions to the Superbells line will make a statement in any garden application. PunchBy Rick Schoellhorn Series alibrachoa is a group of plants that has really grown into an industry standard over the last ten years. Originally from Latin America, they were discovered in theC same general area of the continent where petunia originated. In the early years after they began to show up on the market, they were called petunias (there are some that still hang on the taxonomic edge) and then later split off into their own genus, which has about 18 species. The most commonly used for breeding is C. parviflora, but we see different leaf types and branching habits as our industry’s plant breeders experiment with additional genetics. A lot of today’s breeding involves simply crossing market varieties and making selections, therefore we see hybrids of hybrids — some virtually impossible to tell apart unless one is an expert. Beginning in 2007, Proven Winners began adding the Punch types to the Superbells series. This group of calibrachoa relies on the same basic genetics as ‘Superlbells Apricot Punch’ the existing line, but goes back to some species from Latin America to give earlier flowering, better dis- to keep the plants tight. Habit is somewhat similar to ease resistance and the distinctive dark eye that is ‘Superbells Blue’. It can be more open and airy ear- really the main feature that differentiates the Punch lier in the season. Make sure to give the crop plenty varieties from the general Superbells series.

Virus Integration and Tandem Repeats in the Genomes of Petunia a Thesis
Virus integration and tandem repeats in the genomes of Petunia A thesis submitted to the University of Leicester for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Osamah Nadhim Kadhim Alisawi M.Sc. January 2019 Department of Genetics and Genome Biology i Abstract The integration of endogenous pararetroviruses (EPRVs) and tandemly repeated sequences were examined in whole genome raw reads, and two genome assemblies, in diploid Petunia species including hybrid-derivatives and their ancestors, using bioinformatics, molecular biology, cytogenetics and microscopy. Three types of EPRV clusters (petuvirus-, florendovirus- and caulimovirus-like sequences) were found. Chromosomal signals of PVCV (Petunia vein clearing virus) were seen by in situ hybridization in all Petunia species. Fragmented parts of four novel florendovirus-like sequences were found and the complete sequence was reconstructed, adding petunia to the 27 known host species. Chromosome III of P. axillaris and P. hybrida Rdc showed strong pericentromeric signal of PVCV and Florendovirus suggesting both EPRVs have similar positions, integration patterns and endogenization events (unlike P. integrifolia subsp inflata and P. axillaris subsp parodii). The caulimovirus-like sequence cluster was less abundant in genomes, with four novel members. RNA analysis from infected and healthy petunia samples revealed expression of endogenous PVCV and Caulimovirus sequences, unlike Florendovirus (not detected in RNA). The episomal form of vertically transmitted PVCV was integrated near the telomere of heterologous chromosomes. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed differences in number and size of PVCV particles and inclusion bodies for both chlorotic spots and vein clearing symptoms, the latter correlated with PVCV particles in cytoplasm from vascular bundle cells.

Calibrachoa Calipetite® Culture Guide
Calipetite® Culture Guide November 2015 ew plants in floricultural have enjoyed the success and sales growth that calibrachoa have experienced since F the first commercial hybrids were introduced some twenty years ago. Given the many favorable attributes calibrachoa offer, their success in the marketplace has been well earned. With the introduction of the all new Calipetite® series, Sakata offers growers a uniquely compact calibrachoa that is ideal for small-pot and mini-color bowl production. What really sets the Calipetite series apart from all the others is its naturally compact growth habit and day-length neutrality. There is no need to apply chemical growth regulars or provide supplemental lighting to produce beautiful, dense, well-mounded pots covered with flowers. Available in five bright colors, the Calipetites are well matched in habit and can be mixed to produce high-impulse color bowls or long lasting mini-planters. The series also features exceptional tolerance to extremely high pH levels (7.2+). Plants are able to maintain their healthy rich green foliage throughout the production and delivery process for greater retail shelf appeal. Producing stunning pots of Calipetite Calibrachoa is quite easy if you follow the recommendations noted below. It is critical, however, that growers recognized Calipetite is not the same as traditional calibrachoa and should not be treated as such. Applying chemical growth regulators to a naturally compact plant can severely stunt future growth. Although Calipetite will spread to 10-12 inches across, they may not be the first choice for growers looking to finish large containers or hanging baskets quickly (especially in northern climates).
