The tremendous progress in agricultural productivity in various parts of the world is largely based on improved plant varieties. More so, plant breeding has benefits that extend beyond increasing food production. The development of new improved varieties with, for example, higher quality, increases the value and marketability of crops. In addition, breeding programs for ornamental plants can be of substantial economic importance for an exporting country. The breeding and exploitation of new varieties is a decisive factor in improving rural income and overall economic development. Furthermore, the development of breeding programs for certain endangered species can remove the threat to their survival out in nature, as in the case of medicinal plants. While the process of plant breeding requires substantial investments in terms of money and time, once released, a new plant variety can be easily reproduced in a way that would deprive its breeder of the opportunity to be rewarded for his investment. Clearly, few breeders are willing to spend years making substantial economic investment in developing a new variety of plants if there were no means of protecting and rewarding their commitment.

    Archives of natural history 38.1 (2011): 1–17 Edinburgh University Press DOI: 10.3366/anh.2011.0001 # The Society for the History of Natural History www.eupjournals.com/anh William T. Stearn Prize 2010* The tree as evolutionary icon: TREE in the Natural History Museum, London NILS PETTER HELLSTRO¨ M Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge, Free School Lane, Cambridge, CB2 3RH, UK (e-mail: [email protected]). ABSTRACT: As part of the Darwin celebrations in 2009, the Natural History Museum in London unveiled TREE, the first contemporary artwork to win a permanent place in the Museum. While the artist claimed that the inspiration for TREE came from Darwin’s famous notebook sketch of branching evolution, sometimes referred to as his “tree of life” drawing, this article emphasises the apparent incongruity between Darwin’s sketch and the artist’s design – best explained by other, complementary sources of inspiration. In the context of the Museum’s active participation in struggles over science and religion, the effect of the new artwork is contradictory. TREE celebrates Darwinian evolutionism, but it resonates with deep-rooted, mythological traditions of tree symbolism to do so. This complicates the status of the Museum space as one of disinterested, secular science, but it also contributes, with or without the intentions of the Museum’s management, to consolidate two sometimes conflicting strains within the Museum’s history. TREE celebrates human effort, secular science and reason – but it also evokes long- standing mythological traditions to inspire reverence and remind us of our humble place in this world.

Accepted 15 April, 2011 Hybridization between different species, and subsequently polyploidy, play an important role in plant genome evolution, as well as it is a widely used approach for crop improvement. Recent studies of the last several years have demonstrated that, hybridization and subsequent genome doubling (polyploidy) often induce an array of variations that could not be explained by the conventional genetic paradigms. A large proportion of these variations are epigenetic in nature. Epigenetic can be defined as a change of the study in the regulation of gene activity and expression that are not driven by gene sequence information. However, the ramifications of epigenetic in plant biology are immense, yet unappreciated. In contrast to the ease with which the DNA sequence can be studied, studying the complex patterns inherent in epigenetic poses many problems. In this view, advances on researching epigenetic change of hybrid and polyploidy in plants will be initially set out by summarizing the latest researches and the basic studies on epigenetic variations generated by hybridization. Moreover, polyploidy may shed light on the mechanisms generating these variations.
  • Characteristics of a Good Breeder

    Characteristics of a Good Breeder

    WHAT CHARACTERIZES A GOOD BREEDER? By Carissa Kuehn Looking for a German Shepherd puppy? It can be a daunting task; there are endless numbers of “breeders” out there with all sorts of claims to fame: “specializing in blacks and black sables”, “top-rated show line dogs”, “top- rated working dogs”, “specializing in huge „Old World‟ German Shepherds”. How does one make sense of it all? fter spending a total of six years A searching for and investigating my GSD breeder—and finally getting a puppy from her that I have since taken all the way from BH to IPO3 at the Regional and National championship levels as a first time handler—I have learned many things about good breeders that I wish to share. There are several key characteristics and attributes that set a GOOD BREEDER apart from all those other “breeders” out there. My hope is that this article helps guide you in selecting a good breeder who works tirelessly to produce good German Shepherd Dogs that are all a German Shepherd should be. I hope that it also helps you avoid those breeders who are either just in it for the money, or have no real knowledge about and experience in breeding good German Shepherd Dogs. The author with “Axel”, competing at the 2013 USCA GSD IPO3 National Whether you want a stable, well-bred Championship (first National event as a first-time handler with her first GSD German Shepherd Dog for a companion, ever.

In particular, a variety belonging to a species that is not present in New Zealand. When a variety is claimed as a first variety in the species, it is assumed that there are no varieties of common knowledge. This probably will be correct from a national view, however from an international view there may be varieties of common knowledge. The problem then is should the overseas varieties be considered and if yes, how can they be accurately and practically utilized as varieties for comparative DUS testing? In the course of tackling this problem in New Zealand, more general problems associated with the identification of varieties of common knowledge for all varieties under test were identified. From reports at the TWO, other countries are encountering similar problems. This document is intended to generate discussion and perhaps some practical solutions that would be useful to all UPOV member States.

    DEFINITION OF TERMS Definition of Terms used for Purposes of the Montana Certification Program taken from the Terminology of the Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies. A. Variety The term variety (cultivar) denotes an assemblage of cultivated individuals which are distinguished by any characters (morphological, physiological, cytological, chemical or others) significant for the purposes of agriculture, forestry, or horticulture and which, when reproduced (sexually or asexually) or reconstituted, retain their distinguishing features. B. Classes of Seed Recognized in Seed Certification 1. Breeder - Breeder seed is seed directly controlled by the originating or sponsoring plant breeding institution, or person, or designee thereof. As applied to certified seed, breeders seed is the source for the production of seed of the other classes of certified seed. 2. Foundation Foundation seed is seed which is the progeny of breeder or Foundation seed produced under control of the originator or sponsoring plant breeding institution, or person, or designee thereof. As applied to certified seed, Foundation seed is a class of certified seed which is produced under procedures established by the certifying agency for the purpose of maintaining genetic purity and identity. 3. Registered Registered seed shall be the progeny of Breeder or Foundation seed handled under procedures acceptable to the certifying agency to maintain satisfactory genetic purity and identity. 4. Certified Certified seed shall be the progeny of Breeder, Foundation, or Registered seed so handled as to maintain satisfactory genetic purity and identity, and which has been acceptable to the certifying agency. Certified tree seed is defined as seed from trees produced so as to assure genetic identity.
