    B268_dendro_bin 03-11-2009 10:32 Pagina 4 Classificatie van planten – nieuwe inzichten en gevolgen voor de praktijk Ir. M.H.A. Hoffman Er zijn ongeveer 300.000 verschillende (hogere) plantensoorten, die onderling veel of weinig op elkaar lijken. Vroeger werden alle planten- soorten afzonderlijk benaamd, en was niet duidelijk hoe deze soorten ver- want waren. Tegenwoordig worden soorten conform het systeem van Lin- naeus ingedeeld in geslachten. Soorten die sterk verwant zijn aan elkaar hebben dezelfde geslachtsnaam. Geslachten worden op hun beurt weer ingedeeld in families en die op hun beurt weer in ordes, enzovoort. Op deze manier kent het plantenrijk een hiërarchisch indelingsysteem, met verwantschap als basis. Sterke verwantschap is meestal ook zicht- baar aan de uiterlijke gelijkenis. Soorten die veel op elkaar lijken en verwant zijn zitten in dezelfde groep.Verre verwanten zitten ver uit elkaar in het systeem. Om een plant goed te kunnen benamen, moet dus eerst uitgezocht worden aan welke andere soorten deze verwant is. Tot voor kort werd de gelijkenis van planten zen.

    Intraspecific, Interspecific, and Interseries Cross-Compatibility in Lilac

    J. AMER.SOC.HORT.SCI. 142(4):279–288. 2017. doi: 10.21273/JASHS04155-17 Intraspecific, Interspecific, and Interseries Cross-compatibility in Lilac Jason D. Lattier 1 and Ryan N. Contreras 2 Department of Horticulture, 4017 Agriculture and Life Sciences Building, Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331-7304 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. Syringa, Pubescentes, Villosae, in vitro germination, controlled crosses, wide hybridization ABSTRACT. Lilacs (Syringa sp.) are a group of ornamental trees and shrubs in the Oleaceae composed of 22–30 species from two centers of diversity: the highlands of East Asia and the Balkan-Carpathian region of Europe. There are six series within the genus Syringa: Pubescentes, Villosae, Ligustrae, Ligustrina, Pinnatifoliae, and Syringa. Intraspecific and interspecific hybridization are proven methods for cultivar development. However, reports of interseries hybridization are rare and limited to crosses among taxa in series Syringa and Pinnatifoliae. Although hundreds of lilac cultivars have been introduced, fertility and cross-compatibility have yet to be formally investigated. Over 3 years, a cross-compatibility study was performed using cultivars and species of shrub-form lilacs in series Syringa, Pubescentes, and Villosae. A total of 114 combinations were performed at an average of 243 ± 27 flowers pollinated per combination. For each combination, we recorded the number of inflorescences and flowers pollinated as well as number of capsules, seed, seedlings germinated, and albino seedlings. Fruit and seed were produced from interseries crosses, but no seedlings were recovered. A total of 2177 viable seedlings were recovered from interspecific and intraspecific combinations in series Syringa, Pubescentes, and Villosae. Albino progeny were produced only from crosses with Syringa pubescens ssp.

For many, “lilac” brings to mind the common lilac, Syringa vulgaris, known for its fragrant masses of purple, lavender and white blooms in May. However, the common lilac is susceptible to several diseases and insects, including powdery mildew, bacterial blight, scale and borers. Some disease-resistant cultivars have been reported, and there are other less susceptible species and hybrids available. DISEASES Powdery Mildew is a common disease of lilacs caused primarily by the fungus Erysiphe syringae. Leaves of infected plants develop a whitish coating during the summer, and while it does not usually cause permanent damage, aesthetic quality can be greatly diminished. Cultivars of S. vulgaris are more susceptible than those of most other lilacs (8), and plants in shady sites with poor air circulation are more likely to be severely affected.

    NEW SERIES VOL. IX NO. 5 ARNOLD ARBORETUM HARVARD UNIVERSITY BULLETIN OF POPULAR INFORMATION JAMAICA PLAIN, MASS. MAY 18, 1923 Lilacs. The word Lilac as most persons understand it means the plant with purple or with white flowers of old-fashioned gardens, and this Lilac, the Syringa vulgaris of botanists, and its numerous varieties are the most popular shrubs which can be grown in northern gardens, and the flowers of no other plant bring so many visitors to the Arbor- etum. This Lilac reached western Europe at the end of the sixteenth century by way of Constantinople and Vienna; and until a few years ago Persia was believed to be its native country, now, however, it is known to be a native of the mountain valleys of Bulgaria. It is not known when this plant first reached America, for there is no authentic record of it in this country before 1785 when Washington planted it at Mt. Vernon. It probably came much earlier for the colonists often brought favorite plants with them from their English homes. The wild form of Syringa vulgarzs was raised from seeds sent to the Arboretum from Bulgaria in 1896. The flowers are purple and resemble those of the purple Lilac of old gardens but the flower-clusters are narrower with less crowded flowers. There is no record of the date of the first appearance of the white-flowered form which was first described in 1623. In the Arboretum can be seen good examples of the Lilacs of old New England gardens on the eastern slope and near the summit of Bussey Hill where two long rows of them were planted more than a century ago on each side of one of Mr.

Here, we use a modelling approach to evaluate the phylogenetic conservatism; hypothesis that nectar sucrose proportion (NSP) is an adaptation to pollina- phylogenetic constraint; tors. We analyse ~ 2100 species of asterids, spanning several plant families pollination syndrome; and pollinator groups (PGs), and show that the hypothesis of adaptation sucrose. cannot be rejected: NSP evolves towards two optimal values, high NSP for specialist-pollinated and low NSP for generalist-pollinated plants. However, the inferred adaptive process is weak, suggesting that adaptation to PG only provides a partial explanation for how nectar evolves. Additional factors are therefore needed to fully explain nectar evolution, and we suggest that future studies might incorporate floral shape and size and the abiotic envi- ronment into the analytical framework.
