  • COST EFFECTIVE PRODUCTION of SPECIALTY CUT FLOWERS By
    COST EFFECTIVE PRODUCTION OF SPECIALTY CUT FLOWERS By TODD JASON CAVINS Bachelor of Science Southwestern Oklahoma State University Weatherford, Oklahoma 1997 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE December, 1999 COST EFFECTIVE PRODUCTION OF SPECIALTY CUT FLOWERS Thesis Approved: ' 1 Thesis Advisor .. ;.; ,, ( Dean of the Graduate College 11 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The purpose of this study was to improve production methods of various specialty cut flower species. Improving production methods allows growers to reduce cost, improve plant quality and earn higher profits. This study involved three research areas of specialty cut flowers. Partial funding was provided by a S.A.R.E. grant and Bear Creek Farm, Stillwater, OK. I would like to thank my principle advisor Dr. John Dole for his encouragement, support, honesty and perseverance. I would like to thank Dr. Janet Cole and Dr. Jim Ownby for serving on my thesis committee. Dr. Cole offered valuable insight and direction towards the research. Dr. Ownby contributed with his wealth of knowledge in plant physiology. A special thanks goes to Vicki Stamback and the gang at Bear Creek Farm. Vicki's experience as a specialty cut flower grower allowed me to gain personal knowledge of the cut flower industry that would not have taken place without her. Vicki's efforts and cooperation greatly improved this study. I want to thank Randall Smith and Leah Aufill for their assistance and plant care. Tim Hooper also contributed by offering his experiences from the floriculture industry and providing stress relieving lunch breaks.

  • A MOSAIC DISEASE of PRIMULA OBCONICA and ITS CONTROL' a Mosaic Disease of Primula Obconica Hance, Grown Extensively As a Potted
    A MOSAIC DISEASE OF PRIMULA OBCONICA AND ITS CONTROL' By C. M. ToMPKiNS, assistant plant pathologist, and JOHN T. MIDDLETON, junior plant pathologist, California Agricultural Experiment Station ^ INTRODUCTION A mosaic disease of Primula obconica Hance, grown extensively as a potted ornamental plant in commercial greenhouses in San Fran- cisco, was first observed in August 1937. The incidence of the disease on very young to older seedling plants ranged from 5 to 25 percent and, because infected plants could not be marketed, serious financial losses were incurred. The results of studies on transmission, experimental host range, and properties of the virus, as well as control of the disease, are presented in this paper. REVIEW OF LITERATURE That many cultivated species of the genus Primula are generally susceptible to virus infection is indicated in the literature. In addi- tion to the mosaic diseases, the aster yellows, curly top, spotted wilt, and certain tobacco viruses may cause infection. Since this paper deals with a mosaic disease, only pertinent references are listed. In Japan, Fukushi (4.y in 1932 and Hino (6) in 1933 recorded the occurrence of a mosaic disease on Primula obconica. The latter also observed a similar disease on P. denticulata Sm. Smith (13) in England, in 1935, described a virus disease of the mosaic type on Primula obconica caused by cucumber virus 1. Later, Smith (14) stated that Cucumis virus 1 sometimes caused color break- ing of the fiowers and that other species of Primula were susceptible. Cucumis virus IB, a strain, induced '^a pronounced yellow and green mottling.'' In Germany, Ludwigs (7) and Pape {8) described very briefly a virus disease of Primula obconica without apparently establishing the identity of the virus.

  • Five Types of Bulbs the Word “Bulb” Here Is Used As a Generic Term for Plants That Grow from Five Distinct Types of Underground Structures As Follows
    Five Types of Bulbs The word “bulb” here is used as a generic term for plants that grow from five distinct types of underground structures as follows: True Bulbs (Hyacinth, Tulip, Daffodil) Tiny bulblets or bulbils attach themselves to the bulb. Dig bulbs and separate gently remove tiny bulbs from basal plate. Plant bulblets in out-of-the-way spot till mature enough for bloom. Corms (Gladiolus, Crocus, Freesia) to divide separate cormels from main corm. Plant in an out-of-the-way place till corms are large enough to flower. Tubers (Anemone (most), Tuberous Begonia, Florist Cyclamen) – To divide, dig and separate large tuber into two or more sections, making sure each section has at least one or two growth points. Rhizomes (Bearded Iris, Agapanthus, Anemone [some], Canna rhizomes produce new plants from growth points along their sides. To divide, break at narrowing points which seem to divide sections. Each “break” needs at least one growing point. Tuberous Roots – (Day Lily, Ranunculus, Dahlia) to divide, dig and cut apart so that each separated root has a growth bud. NOTE: Tulips and Hyacinth need winter chill for best bloom. Purchase bulbs around Labor Day and *chill in refrigerator in vented bag for at least six weeks prior to planting. *IMPORTANT: While bulbs are being stored in refrigerator it is important that no fruits are stored in same refrigerator. Bulbs in Pots: Planting depth: Mix at home potting medium: Daffodil 5 inches 1 part peat moss Hyacinth 4 inches 1 part compost Tulip 2½ times deep as bulb is wide 1 part builder’s sand Muscari 2-3 inches Fertilizer (according to package instructions) Crocus 2 inches Growing Instructions for bulbs pot: Place in full sunlight (at least six hours each day).

  • Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes
    Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes Shichao Chen1., Dong-Kap Kim2., Mark W. Chase3, Joo-Hwan Kim4* 1 College of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, Shanghai, China, 2 Division of Forest Resource Conservation, Korea National Arboretum, Pocheon, Gyeonggi- do, Korea, 3 Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, United Kingdom, 4 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Abstract Phylogenetic analysis aims to produce a bifurcating tree, which disregards conflicting signals and displays only those that are present in a large proportion of the data. However, any character (or tree) conflict in a dataset allows the exploration of support for various evolutionary hypotheses. Although data-display network approaches exist, biologists cannot easily and routinely use them to compute rooted phylogenetic networks on real datasets containing hundreds of taxa. Here, we constructed an original neighbour-net for a large dataset of Asparagales to highlight the aspects of the resulting network that will be important for interpreting phylogeny. The analyses were largely conducted with new data collected for the same loci as in previous studies, but from different species accessions and greater sampling in many cases than in published analyses. The network tree summarised the majority data pattern in the characters of plastid sequences before tree building, which largely confirmed the currently recognised phylogenetic relationships. Most conflicting signals are at the base of each group along the Asparagales backbone, which helps us to establish the expectancy and advance our understanding of some difficult taxa relationships and their phylogeny.

Thaddeus Zagorski University of Tasmania Date: ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is not merely the achievement of a personal goal, but a culmination of a journey that started many, many years ago. As culmination it is also an impetus to continue to that journey. In achieving this personal goal many people, supervisors, friends, family and University colleagues have been instrumental in contributing to the final product. The initial motivation and inspiration for me to start this study was given by Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick, Dr. Elaine Stratford, and my friend Alison Howman. For that challenge I thank you. I am deeply indebted to my three supervisors Professor Jamie Kirkpatrick, Dr. Elaine Stratford and Dr. Aidan Davison. Each in their individual, concerted and special way guided me to this omega point.
