The genus Quercus is known to have recalcitrant seeds that are not suitable for tradi'onal seed banking. The targeted taxa have been selected due to their rarity and their limited distribu'on within a concentrated area of west Texas. Due to the small popula'on sizes and close proximity of ranges for these species, it was realis'c to target mul'ple species with the proposed scou'ng and collec'ng effort. Most of these taxa are not represented in current ex-situ collec'ons within the American Public Gardens Associa'on Plant Collec'ons Network Quercus Mul'site Collec'on or in ins'tu'ons par'cipa'ng in Botanic Garden Conserva'on Interna'onal’s PlantSearch database. The far western region of Texas, the Trans-Pecos (Fig. 1), is home to an excep'onally high diversity of oaks – 22 species occur here, represen'ng almost a quarter of the taxonomic diversity of oaks in the United States. Oak diversity in the Trans-Pecos region is concentrated in a series of “sky island” mountain ranges – the Chisos FigurE 1. ThE Trans-PEcos rEgion of TExas is to thE wEst of thE PEcos RivEr, Mountains, Davis and includEs ninE coun<Es. TwEnty-two oak spEciEs occur in this rEgion of Mountains, and TExas. Big BEnd Na<onal park is in thE southErn part of BrEwstEr County. Guadalupe Mountains – that are isolated from each other by lowland Chihuahuan desert vegeta'on. Due to their isola'on, the sky islands of Texas harbor four endemic oak species as well as relict popula'ons of species that were previously more widespread. The west Texas mountains also have unique floris'c affilia'ons with the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Del Carmen-Sierra Madre Oriental of Mexico and serve as the northernmost limit of five Mexican oak species that do not occur elsewhere in the United States. The sky island mountains of west Texas are well protected within Na'onal Parks, Texas State Parks, and Nature Conservancy holdings. However, the oak species in these mountains are s'll !3 vulnerable to climate change. As the climate becomes warmer and drier, their migratory paths are quite limited. For this reason, ex situ conserva'on in curated living collec'ons will be cri'cal for ensuring the long-term survival of these species. For those species that extend into Mexico, capturing the gene'c diversity for the popula'ons at the northern limit of their range is valuable, especially in the face of climate change. None of the target species for this proposal are ranked as federally endangered or listed as threatened or endangered by the state of Texas. However, most have been ranked with some level of conserva'on status by IUCN and NatureServe. We completed two scou'ng trips and one collec'ng trip during 2016, as detailed below. One scou'ng trip occurred in May, before the collec'ng trip. The collec'ng trip occurred in late August and a follow-up scou'ng trip took place in late October. The scou'ng and collec'ng trips helped to further knowledge of these oaks, their specific range, and their phenology. FigurE 2.

The secondary goal was to locate a known populaon of Q. tardifolia and other oaks of interest in the Chisos Mountains. There is a very interes'ng diversity of oaks in these mountains, the extent and cause of which has not been fully explored. McNeil-Marshall and Richman hiked for many hours and many miles over the course of four days, covering approximately 25 miles on foot. Much of this hiking was over very rugged terrain (Fig. 3), including one aiempt to reach a very high point on Casa Grande peak where there exists a popula'on of Q. carmenensis, the only known popula'on in the United States. Very liile sign of acorns or catkins was observed during this trip. Interes'ngly, most of the oaks were in the process of shedding last year’s leaves and pung on new buds. However, the group did note some loca'ons for later collec'ng, and iden'fied specific trees from which to target later in the year. This trip became FigurE 3.

    Texas Big Bend and the Davis Mountains Participants: Anne, Craig, David, Frank, Hilary, Jan, Joan, Judith, Lori, Linda, Neil, Skip and Stephen April 22-29, 2017 GUIDES Woody Wheeler and Lynn Tennefoss Sunset through "The Window" at Chisos Basin, Big Bend National Park Day One: El Paso to McNary Reservoir, Balmorhea State Park and Fort Davis Appropriately, we started this journey on Earth Day. We departed from El Paso on an unusually cool but sunny day – ideal for travelling. El Paso and its suburbs swiftly gave way to the vast expanses of the Chihuahuan Desert. An hour east, and well into the desert, we exited off the freeway at McNary Reservoir. At the exit underpass, we found a small colony of Cave Swallows searching for nest sites. This was a life bird for many in our group. Nearby, we pulled into the completely unassuming McNary Reservoir. From below it appears to be a scrubby, degraded bank. Upon cresting the bank, however, there is a sizeable reservoir. Here we found Clark’s Grebes performing a small portion of their spectacular mating dance that resembles a synchronized water ballet. Western Grebes were also nearby, as were a variety of wintering waterfowl and an unexpected flock of Willet. Gambel’s Quail perched conspicuously and called loudly from the shore. Just as we were about to depart, Lynn spotted a lone Ruddy Duck bringing our total to 17 species of Gambel's Quail birds at our first stop. We stopped for lunch at a colorful Mexican restaurant in Van Horn that has hosted a number of celebrities over the years.

    The Collection of Oak Trees of Mexico and Central America in Iturraran Botanical Gardens

    The Collection of Oak Trees of Mexico and Central America in Iturraran Botanical Gardens Francisco Garin Garcia Iturraran Botanical Gardens, northern Spain [email protected] Overview Iturraran Botanical Gardens occupy 25 hectares of the northern area of Spain’s Pagoeta Natural Park. They extend along the slopes of the Iturraran hill upon the former hay meadows belonging to the farmhouse of the same name, currently the Reception Centre of the Park. The minimum altitude is 130 m above sea level, and the maximum is 220 m. Within its bounds there are indigenous wooded copses of Quercus robur and other non-coniferous species. Annual precipitation ranges from 140 to 160 cm/year. The maximum temperatures can reach 30º C on some days of summer and even during periods of southern winds on isolated days from October to March; the winter minimums fall to -3º C or -5 º C, occasionally registering as low as -7º C. Frosty days are few and they do not last long. It may snow several days each year. Soils are fairly shallow, with a calcareous substratum, but acidified by the abundant rainfall. In general, the pH is neutral due to their action. Collections The first plantations date back to late 1987. There are currently approximately 5,000 different taxa, the majority being trees and shrubs. There are around 3,000 species, including around 300 species from the genus Quercus; 100 of them are from Mexico and Central America.

    Synteny Analysis in Rosids with a Walnut Physical Map Reveals Slow Genome Evolution in Long-Lived Woody Perennials Ming-Cheng Luo1, Frank M

    Luo et al. BMC Genomics (2015) 16:707 DOI 10.1186/s12864-015-1906-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Synteny analysis in Rosids with a walnut physical map reveals slow genome evolution in long-lived woody perennials Ming-Cheng Luo1, Frank M. You2, Pingchuan Li2, Ji-Rui Wang1,4, Tingting Zhu1, Abhaya M. Dandekar1, Charles A. Leslie1, Mallikarjuna Aradhya3, Patrick E. McGuire1 and Jan Dvorak1* Abstract Background: Mutations often accompany DNA replication. Since there may be fewer cell cycles per year in the germlines of long-lived than short-lived angiosperms, the genomes of long-lived angiosperms may be diverging more slowly than those of short-lived angiosperms. Here we test this hypothesis. Results: We first constructed a genetic map for walnut, a woody perennial. All linkage groups were short, and recombination rates were greatly reduced in the centromeric regions. We then used the genetic map to construct a walnut bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone-based physical map, which contained 15,203 exonic BAC-end sequences, and quantified with it synteny between the walnut genome and genomes of three long-lived woody perennials, Vitis vinifera, Populus trichocarpa,andMalus domestica, and three short-lived herbs, Cucumis sativus, Medicago truncatula, and Fragaria vesca. Each measure of synteny we used showed that the genomes of woody perennials were less diverged from the walnut genome than those of herbs. We also estimated the nucleotide substitution rate at silent codon positions in the walnut lineage. It was one-fifth and one-sixth of published nucleotide substitution rates in the Medicago and Arabidopsis lineages, respectively. We uncovered a whole-genome duplication in the walnut lineage, dated it to the neighborhood of the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, and allocated the 16 walnut chromosomes into eight homoeologous pairs.
