    Appendix K. Survey and Manage Species Persistence Evaluation

    Appendix K. Survey and Manage Species Persistence Evaluation Establishment of the 95-foot wide construction corridor and TEWAs would likely remove individuals of H. caeruleus and modify microclimate conditions around individuals that are not removed. The removal of forests and host trees and disturbance to soil could negatively affect H. caeruleus in adjacent areas by removing its habitat, disturbing the roots of host trees, and affecting its mycorrhizal association with the trees, potentially affecting site persistence. Restored portions of the corridor and TEWAs would be dominated by early seral vegetation for approximately 30 years, which would result in long-term changes to habitat conditions. A 30-foot wide portion of the corridor would be maintained in low-growing vegetation for pipeline maintenance and would not provide habitat for the species during the life of the project. Hygrophorus caeruleus is not likely to persist at one of the sites in the project area because of the extent of impacts and the proximity of the recorded observation to the corridor. Hygrophorus caeruleus is likely to persist at the remaining three sites in the project area (MP 168.8 and MP 172.4 (north), and MP 172.5-172.7) because the majority of observations within the sites are more than 90 feet from the corridor, where direct effects are not anticipated and indirect effects are unlikely. The site at MP 168.8 is in a forested area on an east-facing slope, and a paved road occurs through the southeast part of the site. Four out of five observations are more than 90 feet southwest of the corridor and are not likely to be directly or indirectly affected by the PCGP Project based on the distance from the corridor, extent of forests surrounding the observations, and proximity to an existing open corridor (the road), indicating the species is likely resilient to edge- related effects at the site.

Essential oils of the leaves were extracted by Clevenger apparatus. Essential oil compositions were determined with Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) device. The results from the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis showed that the obtained levo-bornyl acetate from D. graveolens was with the highest percentage (25.23%).

    Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny

    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page.

Abstract: The polypore Bridgeoporus nobilissimus produces large perennial basidiocarps on large diameter Abies stumps, snags and trees in coniferous forests of the Pacific Northwest. Despite the size and persistence of the basidiocarps, they are rarely observed, making the conservation of this species a concern. We determined that a genetic marker for this fungus could be detected in DNA extracted from wood cores taken from trees hosting basidiocarps. We then tested 105 trees and stumps that did not host B. nobilissimus basidiocarps in plots surrounding B. nobilissimus conks, and 291 trees and stumps in randomly located plots in four stands that contained at least one B. nobilissimus basidiocarp. We found that trees of all sizes throughout all of the stands hosted B.

The composition of the hydrodistilled essential oil from aerial parts of D. graveolens (L.) Greuter were grown in Iran investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC/ MS). The major components, among the identified 22, were 1,8 Cineol (54.89%), P- Cymen (16.2%), [beta]-pinene (6.94%) and Borneol (5.44%). Anti-Candida activity of the volatile oil of the aerial parts of D. gravolence against different isolates of Candida albicans was studied in vitro. Anti- Candida activity was done using serial dilutions of volatile oil in Sabouraud’s dextrose agar (SDA). Agar well diffusion methods was used for detection minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). MIC for 10 isolates of tested yeasts was 30.675 mg/ml. Key words: Dittrichia graveolens, essential oil, 1,8 Cineol, Candida albicans.

    Barcoding the Asteraceae of Tennessee, Tribe Senecioneae

    Schilling, E.E. and A. Floden. 2014. Barcoding the Asteraceae of Tennessee, tribe Senecioneae. Phytoneuron 2014-34: 1–5. Published 14 March 2014. ISSN 2153 733X BARCODING THE ASTERACEAE OF TENNESSEE, TRIBE SENECIONEAE EDWARD E. SCHILLING AND AARON FLODEN Herbarium TENN Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology University of Tennessee Knoxville, Tennessee 37996 [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Results from barcoding studies of tribe Senecioneae for the Tennessee flora using data from the nuclear ribosomal ITS marker region are presented and include first complete reports of this marker for 3 of the 15 species of these tribes that occur in the state. Sequence data from the ITS region separated all Tennessee species of Arnoglossum , Erechtites , Hasteola , and Rugelia (all of which are native) from one another and from other, non-Tennessee congeners. In contrast, many of the species of Packera , both from the state and from other parts of the southeastern USA, had basically identical ITS sequences. The contrast in the distinctiveness of Arnoglossum species compared to those of Packera suggests the two genera have had different histories of introduction and diversification in southeastern North America. Tribe Senecioneae is one of the largest in Asteraceae and with a worldwide distribution has had the opportunity to diversify in many different regions. The boundaries and circumscription of the tribe have, however, changed over the past few decades, and its generic level circumscription is still being settled (Nordenstam et al. 2009; Pelser et al. 2007, 2010). Notable is the problem of the circumscription of the huge Senecio (ca. 1000 species), but changes have also affected other genera from the southeastern USA, most notably the recognition of Arnoglossum and Hasteola as distinct from Cacalia (Anderson 1974).

( s. str. ) belongs to the tribe Inuleae of the family Compositae including about 100 species, mainly distributed in Europe, Africa and Asia. The genus Inula was described by LINNAEUS with thirteen species (1753, 1754). The pro - tologue used by LINNAEUS was quite generalized as he did not give the weightage to the finer details of floral characters. Later on, this genus was treated by variuos workers from time to time (viz., CANDOLLE, 1836; BENTHAM & HOOKER, 1873; BOISSIER, 1875; CLARKE, 1876; HOOKER, 1881; BECK, 1882; HOFFMANN, 1890; GORSCHKOVA, 1959; KITAMURA, 1960; GRIERSON, 1975; BALL & TUTIN, 1976; RECHINGER, 1980; ANDERBERG, 1991; KUMAR, 1995).
