However, water deficit (WD) often causes significant yield loss. The aim of our study was to evaluate the productivity as well as the anthocyanin content and composition of berries from cultivated Fragaria vesca “Rojan” and hybrid No. 17 plants (seedlings) grown under WD. The plants were grown in an unheated greenhouse and fully irrigated (control) or irrigated at 50% and 25%. The number of berries per plant and the berry weight were evaluated every 4 days. The anthocyanin content and composition of berries were evaluated with the same periodicity using HPLC. The effect of WD on the yield parameters of two evaluated F. vesca genotypes differed depending on the harvest time. The cumulative yield of plants under WD was not less Citation: Rugienius, R.; Bendokas, V.; Siksnianas, T.; Stanys, V.; Sasnauskas, than that of the control plants for 20–24 days after the start of the experiment. -

Potentilla Spp.)-The Five Finger Weeds 1
r Intriguing World of Weeds iiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Cinquefoils (Potentilla spp.)-The Five Finger Weeds 1 LARRY W. MITICH2 INTRODUCTION In 1753 Linneaus named the genus Potentilla in his Species Plantarum (4). The common name five finger is m cd frequently for this group of plants ( 18, 29). The genus, in the rose family (Rosaceae), is composed of about 500 north temperate species (50 in North America, 75 Euro pean species) of mostly boreal herbs and shrubs. Indeed, Potentilla extends far into arctic regions (22, 29). How ever, a few species are south temperate. And although less common, some species are also found in alpine and high 11,ountain regions of the tropics and South America; P. anserinoides Lehm. is a New Zealand native (27). Cinquefoil, which means five leaves, is an old herb, full of mystery and magic, which matches the charm Rough cinquefoil, Potentilla norvegica L. of its name. The plant protects its frag ile blooms in bad weather by contract ing the leaves so that they curve over the liver in humans (29). It was prescribed as a tea or in and shelter the flower (11). Cinquefoil wine for diarrhea, leukorrhea, kidney stones, arthritis, was credited with supernatural powers, cramps, and reducing fever (22). However, in recent times and was an essential ingredient in love divination. Accord the roots are being used for a gargle and mouthwash (11). ing to Alice Elizabeth Bacon, frogs liked to sit on this In America the outer root bark of creeping cinquefoil (P. plant-"the toad will be much under Sage, frogs will be in reptans L.) is used to stop nosebleeds. -

Fragaria Virginiana – Wild Strawberry
Friends of the Arboretum Native Plant Sale Fragaria virginiana – Wild Strawberry COMMON NAME: Wild Strawberry SCIENTIFIC NAME: Fragaria virginiana - the name comes from Latin fraga referring to the fragrance of the fruit. FLOWER: white, 5-parted, clusters of blossoms on a stem BLOOMING PERIOD: April to June SIZE: low plant, 8 – 10 inches tall BEHAVIOR: Spreads by above ground runners (stolons). The leaves are compound with three sharply toothed leaflets. SITE REQUIREMENTS: Tolerant of a wide variety of soil moisture conditions, moist to dry. It grows in full sun or light shade. Look for wild strawberries on woodland edges, savannas, old fields, wet or dry prairies, rocky openings, roadsides, or along railroads. NATURAL RANGE: From eastern Canada west to Albert, south to Georgia, Tennessee and Oklahoma. It is found throughout Wisconsin. SPECIAL FEATURES: This plant provides a good ground cover for problem areas. The delicious, edible fruit is quickly taken by chipmunks and birds. Indigenous peoples used the fruits for food and medicine for various stomach complaints. Leaves were also dried for use in tea to alleviate a variety of ailments. Of special note is that the cultivated strawberry was developed in France from a cross between this plant and a similar wild strawberry from Chile. SUGGESTED CARE: Water well to establish and then little care is needed. COMPANION PLANTS: There are many companion plants because of the wide variety of habitats where wild strawberry occurs. In disturbed woods: arrow leaved aster, Pennsylvania sedge, common cinquefoil, black and choke cherry, black and white oak, blackberry. In richer woodlands: white ash, basswood, red oak, elm, wild geranium, Virginia creeper, starry Solomon’s plume. -
Sex-Allocation Plasticity in Hermaphrodites of Sexually Dimorphic Fragaria Virginiana (Rosaceae)
231 Sex-allocation plasticity in hermaphrodites of sexually dimorphic Fragaria virginiana (Rosaceae) Eric J. Bishop, Rachel B. Spigler, and Tia-Lynn Ashman Abstract: Sex-allocation plasticity is thought to play an important role in the evolution of separate sexes in plants. Ac- cordingly, much attention has been paid to environmentally induced variation in fruit and seed production in sexually di- morphic species, but we know little about whether this variation arises as a direct response to environmental variation or is instead an indirect consequence of changes in plant size. In this study, we characterize sex-allocation plasticity across a resource gradient for several reproductive traits in hermaphrodites of gyno(sub)dioecious Fragaria virginiana Duch. We find significant plasticity, on average, for flower number, proportion fruit set, ovule number, proportion seed set, and run- ner number in response to resource variation. Plasticity of most traits examined tended to be at least partially independent of variation in plant size, suggesting that it is not simply an indirect consequence of plant allometry. Moreover, we find genetic variation for plasticity of key reproductive traits. Comparisons of relative plasticities among traits reveal that F. virginiana hermaphrodites are more likely to adjust female investment via changes in fruit and seed set than ovule num- ber, and most likely to adjust male investment via flower number rather than anther number or pollen per anther, although there is genotypic variation for plasticity in pollen per anther. Evidence of within-population variation can logically be ex- tended to suggest that variation in hermaphrodite sex-expression seen among natural populations of F. -

Reference Plant List
APPENDIX J NATIVE & INVASIVE PLANT LIST The following tables capture the referenced plants, native and invasive species, found throughout this document. The Wildlife Action Plan Team elected to only use common names for plants to improve the readability, particular for the general reader. However, common names can create confusion for a variety of reasons. Common names can change from region-to-region; one common name can refer to more than one species; and common names have a way of changing over time. For example, there are two widespread species of greasewood in Nevada, and numerous species of sagebrush. In everyday conversation generic common names usually work well. But if you are considering management activities, landscape restoration or the habitat needs of a particular wildlife species, the need to differentiate between plant species and even subspecies suddenly takes on critical importance. This appendix provides the reader with a cross reference between the common plant names used in this document’s text, and the scientific names that link common names to the precise species to which writers referenced. With regards to invasive plants, all species listed under the Nevada Revised Statute 555 (NRS 555) as a “Noxious Weed” will be notated, within the larger table, as such. A noxious weed is a plant that has been designated by the state as a “species of plant which is, or is likely to be, detrimental or destructive and difficult to control or eradicate” (NRS 555.05). To assist the reader, we also included a separate table detailing the noxious weeds, category level (A, B, or C), and the typical habitats that these species invade.
