Prunus serotina, Quercus rubra and Robinia pseudoacacia are IAPS of European temperate forests, where they can become dominant and suppress the native biodiversity. Assuming that the establishment of these invasive species may alter native forest ecosystems, this study comparatively assessed their impact on ecosystems. This study further investigated plant communities in 12 forest stands, dominated by the three IAPS and native trees, Quercus robur and Carpinus betulus (three plots per forest type), in Northern Italy, and collected soil samples. The relationships between the invasion of the three IAPS and modifications of humus forms, soil chemical properties, soil biological quality, bacterial activity and plant community structure and diversity (α-, β-, and γ-diversity) were assessed using one-way ANOVA and redundancy analyses (RDA).

BRZYSKI (Under the direction of Bruce A. Schulte) ABSTRACT North American beavers are considered ecosystem engineers. Their activities can quickly and drastically alter habitat properties and perhaps permit highly aggressive colonizing plants, notably non-native species, to invade and potentially dominate. This study examined if beavers in southeastern Georgia have an effect on the terrestrial plant community. Sampling areas included beaver modified (N=9) and nearby but relatively non-impacted riparian habitat (N=9) in a matched pairs design. Vegetation surveys were performed in spring and summer. Species richness was calculated for herbs, vines, woody seedlings, and woody vegetation. Richness of herbaceous vegetation was higher at distances closer to shore while richness of large woody vegetation increased with distance from shore.

  • 175 Section 6 Stone Fruits (Prunus Spp.)
    SECTION 6 STONE FRUITS (PRUNUS SPP.) 1. Introduction A. General Background The genus of Prunus sensu latu comprises more domesticated (also cultivated) species of temperate fruits than the other genera in the family of Rosaceae (Malus, Pyrus, Sorbus, Cydonia, Rubus, Fragaria). One of the obvious reasons for the abundant domestication might have been the coincidence between the location of the centre of variability of Prunus and the site of human evolution and/or of the first ancient high civilisations of human history. Improvement of fruit trees through traditional breeding methods is a long-term effort because of their lengthy generation time. Thus, new approaches are researched to attain the envisaged breeding goals in a reasonable time frame. Genetic transformation is potentially useful, because specific genetic changes can be made. In the last few years successful examples of resistance breeding against viruses from different plant virus families have been reported, using the coat protein-mediated cross protection approach (Beachy et al., 1990). However, only very few fruit trees have been among these experiments due to the difficulties in transformation protocols. “Cross protection” was originally described as the phenomenon of protection of a plant against the invasion of a severe disease-causing virus due to prior inoculation of the plant with an attenuated virus strain (McKinney, 1929). Hamilton postulated in 1980 that the expression of sequences from the viral genome, if expressed in transgenic plants, could possibly cause a protection against viruses. In fact by the expression of the viral coat protein gene in transgenic plants, similar effects could be obtained, and it was therefore distinguished as coat protein mediated protection (Beachy et al., 1990).

THE TOXIN The toxic principles of the Prunus family are the cyanogenic glycosides prunasin, prulaurasin and amygdalin (2, 3). These cyanogenic glycosides are typically stored in the vacuole of the plant cell where they do not harm the normal metabolic processes of the plant. However, if the vacuole membrane is broken due to damage or stresses (e.g., chewing, crushing, wilting, freezing), certain enzymes in the plant cell and micro-organisms in the ruminal stomach hydrolyze the glycosides into hydrogen cyanide (HCN) (2,4).

  • Identifying Choke Cherry a Source of X Disease  Dr
    Bringing information and education into the communities of the Granite State Identifying Choke Cherry A Source of X Disease Dr. Alan T. Eaton, Extension Specialist, Entomology Choke cherry identification is important for peach and sweet cherry growers. This is because choke cherry (Prunus virginiana L.) is important in spreading a fatal disease of peach and sweet cherry trees, called X-disease. The disease is caused by a phytoplasma, which is spread from tree to tree by certain species of leafhoppers. The leafhoppers pick it up by feeding on X-infected choke cherries or X-infected sweet cherries. We have no way to cure the disease once it gets into the peach or cherry trees, so we focus on preventing its spread. We recommend eliminating choke cherries from within 500 feet of the peach or sweet cherry orchard. If you’re unsure of identifications, you could just eliminate any cherry-looking things within 500 feet, but that might make lots of unnecessary work. How do you identify the offenders? If you’re just interested in eliminating the infected choke cherries, it is very easy in late July. Why? Infected choke cherries have foliage that is yellowish green at that time, with bronze colors starting to appear. Then they shift to dark bronze colors. From the time they start this shift (late July), they really stand out from other vegetation. Almost nothing else here looks like that at that time (July 25 to Aug 5). See photo. X-infected choke cherry What if you wish to eliminate all choke cherries? You can use several traits to identify them.
