Solanum section Lasiocarpa includes about adozen species witha center ofdiversity in the New Worldtropics. Solanum lasiocarpum and S. repandum (sometimesconsidered tobe conspecic as S. ferox)have an OldW orlddistribution in Asia and the Pacic Islands.Several species inthis section produce edible fruits,and two, the lulo ornaranjilla ( S.quitoense ) and the cocona ( S.sessiliorum )are cultivated commercially.Phylogene tic relationships in Solanum section Lasiocarpa were investigated usingsequence data fromthe chloroplast trnT-trnL spacer, the trnL-trnF spacer, and the trnL gene, including the trnL intron.Sampling included 24 accessions fromsection Lasiocarpa and 14 accesssionsofother Solanum species as outgroups.Allspecies considered tobelong to section Lasiocarpa bypreviou sauthorsw ere examined withthe exception of the recentlydescribed S. atheniae.Solanumrobustum and S. stagnale,sometimesconsidered to belongto section Lasiocarpa, are excluded fromthe group on the basis ofthe trn data. The remainingspecies inthe section forma monophyletic group,with threew ell-supportedclades withinit: S. hirtum, S.pectinatum -sessiliorum -stramonifolium ,and the remainderof the species inthe section. Sequencesof S.lasiocarpum and S. repandum are extremelysimilar, and these twoAsian taxa cluster withthe New World S. candidum and S.pseudolulo on the trn trees.

Introduction and Background on Proposed Action This biological assessment (BA) has been prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to evaluate the potential effects on federally-listed threatened and endangered species and designated critical habitat from the movement of baled garbage and regulated (domestic) garbage (GRG) from the State of Hawaii for disposal at landfills in Oregon, Idaho, and Washington. Specifically, garbage is defined as urban (commercial and residential) solid waste from municipalities in Hawaii, excluding incinerator ash and collections of agricultural waste and yard waste. Regulated (domestic) garbage refers to articles generated in Hawaii that are restricted from movement to the continental United States under various quarantine regulations established to prevent the spread of plant pests (including insects, disease, and weeds) into areas where the pests are not prevalent.

The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com ***Note: Figures may be missing from this format of the document Abstract: Adventitious shoots and roots were regenerated from leaf segments of 3 Solanum species: S. candidum Lindl., S. quitoense Lam. and S. sessiliflorum Dunal. Leaf explants differentiated shoots on modified MS medium supplemented with 23-163 μm kinetin and 0-5.7 μm indoleacetic acid (IAA). Excised shoots were induced to form roots by transfer to media with benzyladenine (BA) and naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at 0.09 and 0.11/2 μM respectively for S. qultoense and 0.01 μm NAA for S. candidum and S. sessiliflorum. Adventitious roots were produced directly from leaf explants with 0-140 μm kinetin and 0-5.7μm IAA in combination. Rooted plants were successfully established in the greenhouse. Key words: naranjilla, organogenesis, Solanum candidum, Solanum qultoense, Solanum sessiliforum, tissue culture Article: INTRODUCTION The naranjilla (Solanum quitoense Lam.) is a large, lignescent perennial that is cultivated for the juice of its fruit in Andean South America and in some Central American countries [13]. Its cultivation is severely limited by climatic requirements and susceptibility to diseases and pests, particularly the rootknot nematode [6].

Plant specialized metabolism produces hundreds of thousands of compounds, offering striking examples of these innovations. To understand how this novelty is generated, we investigated the evolution of the Solanaceae family-specific, trichome- localized acylsugar biosynthetic pathway using a combination of mass spectrometry, RNA-seq, enzyme assays, RNAi and phylogenomics in different non-model species. Our results reveal hundreds of acylsugars produced across the Solanaceae family and even within a single plant, built on simple sugar cores.

Hoshino) Abstract The development of in vitro propagation methods can improve the current commercial use and conservation of plants like naranjilla (Solanum quitoense), a distinctive Andean crop and key emerging agricultural product. In the present study, we report in vitro culture protocols for naranjilla apical buds, hypocotyls and petioles. In apical bud culture, MS medium supplemented with 0.10 mg l−1 1-naphtaleneacetic acid (NAA) produced longer plantlets with greater number of leaves. Hypocotyl culture yielded higher number of shoots when using older explants in MS medium supplemented with different combinations of NAA, 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and gibberellic acid (GA3). Petiole culture produced a significantly higher number of shoots per explant, with more abundant and bigger leaves, when using MS medium −1 −1 −1 supplemented with 0.02 mg l NAA, 4.50 mg l BAP and 1.00 mg l GA3.

  • Solanum Torvum Turkey Berry Solanaceae
    Solanum torvum Turkey berry Solanaceae Forest Starr, Kim Starr, and Lloyd Loope United States Geological Survey--Biological Resources Division Haleakala Field Station, Maui, Hawai'i April, 2003 OVERVIEW Solanum torvum is a pantropical weed that invades disturbed areas and forms large thorny impenetrable thickets. On Maui, S. torvum is established in lowland pastures and agricultural fields on both East and West Maui. At this time, it is probably not feasible to eradicate on an island wide level. It seems to be spreading on Maui via contaminated equipment and soil. It also appears to be sparingly cultivated. Public education is needed so that people do not cultivate or spread noxious weeds unknowingly. It could be controlled if found at an early stage in new areas where it is not wanted. TAXONOMY Family: Solanaceae (Nightshade family) (Wagner et al. 1999). Latin name: Solanum torvum Sw. (Wagner et al. 1999). Synonyms: Solanum ficifolium Ortega (PLANTS 2003), Solanum ferrugineum Jacq. (Langeland and Burks 1998). Common names: Turkey berry, devil's-fig, prickly Solanum (GRIN 2003, PIER 2003, PLANTS 2003). Taxonomic notes: The genus Solanum is large and complex, made up of about 1,700 species worldwide (Wagner et al. 1999). Nomenclature: The genus name Solanum is probably derived from the Latin name of a plant that was used medicinally for treatment of epilepsy (Wagner et al. 1999). Related species in Hawai'i: Solanum is represented in Hawai'i by several endemic species, including Solanum nelsonii, Solanum incompletum, and Solanum sandwicense. There are also several other weedy naturalized species, such as S. linnaeanum, S. robustum, S.

  • Department of Food and Agriculture
    DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE PROPOSED CHANGES IN THE REGULATIONS Title 3, California Code of Regulations Section 3591.26, Subsections (a), (b) and (c) Malaysian Fruit Fly Eradication Area INITIAL STATEMENT OF REASONS/ POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Description of Public Problem, Administration Requirement, or Other Condition or Circumstance the Regulation is Intended to Address This regulation is intended to address the obligation of the Department of Food and Agriculture (Department) to protect the agricultural industry from the movement and spread of injurious plant pests within California. Specific Purpose and Factual Basis The specific purpose of Section 3591.26 is to provide authority to the Department to perform eradication activities against Malaysian fruit fly, Bactrocera latifrons. The factual basis for the determination by the Department that the adoption of this regulation is necessary is as follows: If the fly were allowed to spread and become established in host fruit production areas, California's agricultural industry would suffer losses due to decreased production of marketable fruit, increased pesticide use, and loss of markets if other states or countries enacted quarantines against California products. This in turn would negatively impact the State’s economic recovery which in turn would impact the general welfare of the State. The entire County of Los Angeles is being proposed as eradication area because the utilization of these political boundaries will avoid frequent amendments to the regulation if the Malaysian fruit fly is detected elsewhere within this county, and there are no associated impacts with the regulation if no flies are found. The detection of two Malaysian fruit flies is the trigger for eradication delimitation trapping to confirm either there are no other flies present and no further actions are necessary, or treatment activities begin upon the detection of more flies.
