INDIA AIMS TO BE 1ST COUNTRY TO LAND ROVER ON MOON'S SOUTH POLE India will become the first country to land a rover on the Moon's the south pole if the country's space agency "Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)" successfully achieves the feat during the country's second Moon mission "Chandrayaan-2" later this year. "This is a place where nobody has gone. All the ISRO missions till now to the Moon have landed near the Moon's equator. Chandrayaan-2, India’s second lunar mission, has three modules namely Orbiter, Lander (Vikram) & Rover (Pragyan). The Orbiter and Lander modules will be interfaced mechanically and stacked together as an integrated module and accommodated inside the GSLV MK-III launch vehicle. The Rover is housed inside the Lander. After launch into earth bound orbit by GSLV MK-III, the integrated module will reach Moon orbit using Orbiter propulsion module. Subsequently, Lander will separate from the Orbiter and soft land at the predetermined site close to lunar South Pole. -

RESEARCH REPORT Echinacea FOR THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION Sam Hoadley, Manager of Horticultural Research INTRODUCTION Skipper butterfly feeding on Echinacea ‘Glowing Dream’ 2 ECHINACEA FOR THE MID-ATLANTIC ECHINACEA, COMMONLY KNOWN AS CONEFLOWERS, are among the most iconic and recognizable native plants in North America. The earliest documented horticultural use of Echinacea can be traced to the late 17th century when Echinacea purpurea seeds were sent to England by the Virginia clergyman and naturalist John Banister. Medicinal use dates back even further as Native Americans used Echinacea to treat a variety of ailments, a tradition that has carried into modern times. Echinacea has enjoyed continued popularity for treating colds and for boosting the immune system. Although there is little scientific evidence of its benefits, Echinacea is currently one of the most popular commercially traded herbal supplements. The nine species of Echinacea are North American natives and predominantly occur in the central and eastern United States. The majority of wild coneflowers display pink, purple, and rarely white flowers from late spring to summer. Only one species, Echinacea paradoxa, breaks this color trend and produces canary yellow blooms in June. Dr. Jim Ault of the Chicago Botanic Garden was among the first plant breeders to intentionally cross multiple species in the 1990s. Since that time, the breeding and selection of coneflower species has further unlocked the horticultural potential of this genus resulting in a staggering variety of new cultivars in American and European horticultural markets. Today, Echinacea are available in an array of colors including, white, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, and even green. -

Experimental Reintroduction of the Endangered Echinacea Laevigata: Comparison of Planting Methods and Effects of Light Intensi
EXPERIMENTAL REINTRODUCTION OF THE ENDANGERED ECHINACEA LAEVIGATA: COMPARISON OF PLANTING METHODS AND EFFECTS OF LIGHT INTENSITY ON BIOMASS AND PHOTOSYNTHESIS by HEATHER ALLEY (Under the direction of DR. JAMES M. AFFOLTER) ABSTRACT In an experimental reintroduction of the endangered species Echinacea laevigata, we tested several planting methods to determine the optimal method for establishing populations in the wild. High survival rates and comparable growth among plants from all planting methods suggests that reintroduction is a promising conservation strategy for the species and that there are various options for introducing populations. Plants performed well regardless of age at the time of planting, spacing, and presence or absence of soil amendment. Therefore, reintroduction practitioners may weigh logistical costs and benefits when choosing reintroduction methods for E. laevigata. Based on theoretical predictions and our findings, we suggest that an ideal method for establishing populations is to plant adult plants (older than one year) in the spring, without soil amendment. This recommendation is preliminary and contingent on the future survival and reproductive success of reintroduced individuals. In order to more effectively and efficiently manage E. laevigata populations, it is important to understand the role of the light environment in the species’ decline. While it is generally agreed that the species decline is in part due to the lack of fire-maintained, early successional habitat, the extent to which light limits population persistence has not been quantified. We compare the effects of high, medium and low developmental light levels on photosynthetic performance as described by light curves, and on biomass allocation. We found no significant difference in photosynthetic response among plants grown at different light levels.
