A Numerical Taxonomy of the Genus Rosularia (Dc.) Stapf from Pakistan and Kashmir
Pak. J. Bot., 44(1): 349-354, 2012. A NUMERICAL TAXONOMY OF THE GENUS ROSULARIA (DC.) STAPF FROM PAKISTAN AND KASHMIR GHULAM RASOOL SARWAR* AND MUHAMMAD QAISER Centre for Plant Conservation, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science and Technology, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, Pakistan Abstract Numerical analysis of the taxa belonging to the genus Rosularia (DC.) Stapf was carried out to find out their phenetic relationship. Data from different disciplines viz. general, pollen and seed morphology, chemistry and distribution pattern were used. As a result of cluster analysis two distinct groups are formed. Out of which one group consists of R. sedoides (Decne.) H. Ohba and R. alpestris A. Boriss. while other group comprises R. adenotricha (Wall. ex Edgew.) Jansson ssp. adenotricha , R. adenotricha ssp. chitralica, G.R. Sarwar, R. rosulata (Edgew.) H. Ohba and R. viguieri (Raym.-Hamet ex Frod.) G.R. Sarwar. Distribution maps of all the taxa, along with key to the taxa are also presented. Introduction studied the genus Rosularia and indicated that the genus is polyphyletic. Mayuzumi & Ohba (2004) analyzed the Rosularia is a small genus composed of 28 species, relationships within the genus Rosularia. According to distributed in arid or semiarid regions ranging from N. different workers Rosularia is polyphyletic. Africa to C. Asia through E. Mediterranean (Mabberley, There are no reports on numerical studies of 2008). Some of the taxa of Rosularia are in general Crassulaceae except the genus Sedum from Pakistan cultivation and several have great appeal due to their (Sarwar & Qaiser, 2011). The primary aim of this study is extraordinarily regular rosettes on the leaf colouring in to analyze diagnostic value of morphological characters in various seasons. -

Bright Spots Plant Material Location
Bright Spots A SELF GUIDED WALKING TOUR September 13, 2017 Did you know…? Usually when we think of azaleas we think of Spring, but there are some beauties abloom in the garden right now. These are reblooming azaleas. They have already produced Spring flowers for Virginia’s Garden Week, and now they are contributing to Fall color. Many of these plants are patented under the name Encore® azalea. They first became available in the late 1990s, the work of Robert E. “Buddy” Lee, a plant breeder and nurseryman from Louisiana. This group derives from a cross between spring blooming azaleas and Rhododendron oldhamii “Fourth of July”. The garden’s Plant Explorer database lists 22 varieties of Encore® azaleas. Many have the word “Autumn” in their cultivar name. Several are in bloom now, including ‘Autumn Royalty’ and ‘Autumn Sundance’ listed below. Not much published material is available on these rebloomers, but the article by Will Ferrell (not the actor) in The Azalean (below) is a knowledgeable evaluation of the merits of many specific cultivars. Besides the Encore® series there are at least two other patented reblooming lines: ReBLOOM™ Azaleas by breeder Bob Head and Bloom-a-thon from Monrovia. To sow confusion, I must note that the Azalea ‘August to Frost’ with its bright white blossoms (along the Flagler walk) is not considered a rebloomer. It was hybridized by M. B. Matlack in 1940, possibly a cross between R. mucronatum var. mucronatum and an unknown species.

The Role of Starch in the Day/Night Re-Programming of Stomata in Plants with Crassulacean Acid Metabolism Natalia Hurtado Castan
The role of starch in the day/night re-programming of stomata in plants with Crassulacean Acid Metabolism Natalia Hurtado Castano Doctor of Philosophy School of Natural and Environmental Sciences February 2020 Declaration This thesis is submitted to Newcastle University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The research detailed within was performed between the years 2015-2019 and it was supervised by Professor Anne Borland and Professor Jeremy Barnes. I certify that none of the material offered in this thesis has been previously submitted by me for a degree or any other qualification at this or any other university. Natalia Hurtado Castano ii Abstract Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a specialised type of photosynthesis characterised by the unique inverted stomatal rhythm, which increases water use efficiency (WUE) and enhances the potential for sustainable biomass production in warmer and drier conditions. Starch turnover in the mesophyll of CAM species supports nocturnal CO2 assimilation and CAM activity. In C3 plants, starch metabolism has been reported to play an important role in determining stomatal behaviour; in this case, guard cell starch degradation is triggered by blue light, producing osmolytes that promotes stomatal opening. Based on the importance of starch and the little knowledge regarding CAM stomatal behaviour, this study tested the hypothesis that starch metabolism has been re-programmed in CAM plants to enable nocturnal stomatal opening, by using biochemical and genetic characterisation of wild type and RNAi lines with curtailed starch metabolism in the constitutive CAM species Kalanchoë fedtschenkoi. Measurements of guard cell starch content over 24 hours in wild type plants of K. -

The following abbreviations are used in the text: BM(NH) – The Natural History Museum, London; NMINH – National Museum of Ireland, Natural History, Dublin. The total number of confirmed Irish species now stands at 1480, an addition of 68 since Bond et al. (2006). Taxonomic arrangement As a result of recent systematic research, it has been necessary to replace the arrangement familiar to British and Irish Lepidopterists by the Fauna Europaea [FE] system used by Karsholt 60 Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) and Razowski, which is widely used in continental Europe. -

Biodiversity Data Journal 9: e62011. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.9.e62011 Abstract Background Dokdo, a group of islands near the East Coast of South Korea, comprises 89 small islands. These volcanic islands were created by an eruption that also led to the formation of the Ulleungdo Islands (located in the East Sea), which are approximately 87.525 km away from Dokdo. Dokdo is important for geopolitical reasons; however, because of certain barriers to investigation, such as weather and time constraints, knowledge of its insect fauna is limited compared to that of Ulleungdo. Until 2017, insect fauna on Dokdo included 10 orders, 74 families, 165 species and 23 undetermined species; subsequently, from 2018 to 2019, we discovered 23 previously unrecorded species and three undetermined species via an insect survey.
