  • Construction of High-Resolution Genetic Maps Of
    Huang et al. BMC Genomics (2016) 17:562 DOI 10.1186/s12864-016-2969-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Construction of high-resolution genetic maps of Zoysia matrella (L.) Merrill and applications to comparative genomic analysis and QTL mapping of resistance to fall armyworm Xiaoen Huang1†, Fangfang Wang1†, Ratnesh Singh1†, James A. Reinert1, M. C. Engelke1, Anthony D. Genovesi1, Ambika Chandra1,2 and Qingyi Yu1,3* Abstract Background: Zoysia matrella, widely used in lawns and sports fields, is of great economic and ecological value. Z. matrella is an allotetraploid species (2n =4x = 40) in the genus zoysia under the subfamily Chloridoideae. Despite its ecological impacts and economic importance, the subfamily Chloridoideae has received little attention in genomics studies. As a result, limited genetic and genomic information are available for this subfamily, which have impeded progress in understanding evolutionary history of grasses in this important lineage. The lack of a high-resolution genetic map has hampered efforts to improve zoysiagrass using molecular genetic tools. Results: We used restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RADSeq) approach and a segregating population developed from the cross between Z. matrella cultivars ‘Diamond’ and ‘Cavalier’ to construct high-resolution genetic maps of Z. matrella. The genetic map of Diamond consists of 2,375 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers mapped on 20 linkage groups (LGs) with a total length of 1754.48 cM and an average distance between adjacent markers at 0.74 cM. The genetic map of Cavalier contains 3,563 SNP markers on 20 LGs, covering 1824. 92 cM, with an average distance between adjacent markers at 0.51 cM.

  • Grass Genera in Townsville
    Grass Genera in Townsville Nanette B. Hooker Photographs by Chris Gardiner SCHOOL OF MARINE and TROPICAL BIOLOGY JAMES COOK UNIVERSITY TOWNSVILLE QUEENSLAND James Cook University 2012 GRASSES OF THE TOWNSVILLE AREA Welcome to the grasses of the Townsville area. The genera covered in this treatment are those found in the lowland areas around Townsville as far north as Bluewater, south to Alligator Creek and west to the base of Hervey’s Range. Most of these genera will also be found in neighbouring areas although some genera not included may occur in specific habitats. The aim of this book is to provide a description of the grass genera as well as a list of species. The grasses belong to a very widespread and large family called the Poaceae. The original family name Gramineae is used in some publications, in Australia the preferred family name is Poaceae. It is one of the largest flowering plant families of the world, comprising more than 700 genera, and more than 10,000 species. In Australia there are over 1300 species including non-native grasses. In the Townsville area there are more than 220 grass species. The grasses have highly modified flowers arranged in a variety of ways. Because they are highly modified and specialized, there are also many new terms used to describe the various features. Hence there is a lot of terminology that chiefly applies to grasses, but some terms are used also in the sedge family. The basic unit of the grass inflorescence (The flowering part) is the spikelet. The spikelet consists of 1-2 basal glumes (bracts at the base) that subtend 1-many florets or flowers.

  • Americus, Georgia
    July 2004 Rev. 1 Jimmy Carter Plant Materials Center Americus , Georgia WETLAND PLANTS SELECTED for CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS and STORMWATER SYSTEMS Wetland Plants Selected for Constructed Wetlands and Stormwater Systems From the Plant Materials Specialist Notebook This publication provides specific information on wetland plants for stormwater constructed wetlands. It contains recommendations for selection of wetland vegetation for stormwater management systems. The wetland plant technology was developed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service; the Jimmy Carter Plant Materials Center in Americus, Georgia. The Jimmy Carter Plant Materials Center located in Americus, Georgia, has released `Restorer´ giant bulrush, Scirpus californicus and `Wetlander´ giant cutgrass, Zizaneopsis miliacea as new proven wetland native plant materials for constructed wetlands, and both are available from commercial nurseries. Stormwater wetlands perform by temporarily storing stormwater runoff in shallow pools that create favorable growing conditions for emergent and riparian wetland plants. The stormwater storage, contact area, microtopography, and the emergent plants together form an ideal matrix for the removal of pollutants normally associated with urban development. Emergent wetland vegetation such as, `Restorer´ giant bulrush, Scirpus californicus, Maidencane, Panicum hemitomon and blue flag iris, Iris versicolor, canna lily, canna spp, are quite attractive and provide adequate removal of contaminants. The use of constructed wetlands for stormwater quality control has attracted a great deal of attention. The 1987 amendments to the Clean Water Act focused attention on urban runoff. Stormwater (runoff) is the surface and ground water that results from precipitation. In developed areas, urban stormwater is the major component of sewer and stream flows. Stormwater runoff from parking lots, roofs, contains fertilizer, pesticides, animal waste, oil, grease, heavy metals, and other potential pollutants.

    USGS/NOAA NORTH AMERICAN PACKRAT MIDDEN DATABASE DATA DICTIONARY by Laura E. Strickland1, Robert S. Thompson1, and Katherine H. Anderson2 Open-File Report 01- 022 2001 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 1 Denver, Colorado 2 Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado INTRODUCTION Packrats, also known as wood rats or trade rats, are herbivorous Sigmodontine rodents belonging to the genus Neotoma (Vaughan, 1990). Twenty-one North American species of packrat are widely distributed from the Northwest Territories of Canada (65˚23' N) to tropical Nicaragua (13˚ N) (Vaughan, 1990). Arid and semi-arid lands of the southwestern United States presently support six different packrat species, which have probably persisted in the region, at least intermittently throughout the past 40,000 years (Vaughan, 1990). Vaughan (1990) summarizes the ecology of modern packrats in North America and the southwestern U.S. All modern packrats demonstrate a habit, unique among rodents, of collecting various items from their surrounding environment. These animals gather a variety of materials including plant debris, rocks, bones, insect parts, and human artifacts, generally from within a limited foraging range (30-50 m) of their dens. Not every packrat species has the same dietary preferences or collecting habits, and some species sample their environments better than others by collecting a greater variety of plant materials from the surrounding landscape.

Native plants are plants that are indigenous to a particular area or region. In North America we are referring to the flora that existed in an area or region before European settlement. Native plants occur within specific plant communities that vary in species composition depending on the habitat in which they are found. A few examples of habitats are tidal wetlands, woodlands, meadows and dunelands.
