The Genus Baptisia in Alabama
Woods, M. and A.R. Diamond, Jr. 2014. The genus Baptisia in Alabama. Phytoneuron 2014-83: 1–11. Published 12 August 2014. ISSN 2153 733X THE GENUS BAPTISIA (FABACEAE) IN ALABAMA MICHAEL WOODS [email protected] ALVIN R. DIAMOND , JR. Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences Troy University Troy, Alabama 36082 ABSTRACT The primary objectives of this project were to determine which species of Baptisia (Fabaceae) occur in Alabama and to report the county distribution of each. Baptisia , known commonly as wild or false indigo, is recognized as consisting of seven species in Alabama. The most common species are Baptisia alba, B. bracteata, and B. megacarpa. The less common species are B. lanceolata and B. albescens . The least common species are B. australis and B. perfoliata. The dichotomous key and descriptions we present are modifications from earlier authors; however, all measurements are based on morphological features of the vegetative and reproductive structures of the more than 200 specimens studied during this project. Data for the county-level distribution maps were compiled entirely from herbarium vouchers. Baptisia , commonly known as wild or false indigo, consists of 18 species, 7 infraspecific taxa, and 6 hybrids confined to the eastern USA and Canada (NatureServe 2013). Of these, 15 species have been reported from the southeastern USA (Isely 1990) and eight species and one infraspecific taxon have been reported from Alabama (Kral et al. 2011). The genus Baptisia Vent. is a member of the legume family Fabaceae (Leguminosae), tribe Thermopsideae, which includes six genera and approximately 45 species scattered through the Mediterranean and eastern North America (Turner 1981). -

KNEZ SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY • NUMBER 39 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review. -
Deer Management in the Garden
DEER MANAGEMENT IN THE GARDEN Deer can be a nuisance at times to gardeners in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. As development alters habitats and eliminates predators, deer have adapted to suburban life and their population has grown, increasing the demand and competition for food. In some areas, landscape plants have become one of their food sources. When food is limited, deer may eat plants they normally don’t touch to satisfy their hunger. Although no plant is deer proof, you can make your garden less inviting to wildlife. Below are several strategies, including a list of plants that have been shown that deer dislike in order to discourage these uninvited guests. Deer will continue to adapt to their changing environment, and you’ll need to continue trying different control strategies. But with just a little planning, you can have a beautiful garden and co-exist with deer. METHODS OF DEER MANAGEMENT EXCLUSION: A physical barrier is the most effective method to keep deer from foraging. A 7’ tall fence is required to be effective. Deer fencing should be within easy view of the deer and should lean out towards the deer, away from your garden. A fine mesh is used for the black plastic fencing, which does not detract from the beauty of your landscape. If fencing is not practical, drape deer netting over vulnerable plants. Anchor or fasten deer netting to the ground to prevent the deer from pulling it off of the plants. REPELLENTS: Deer repellents work either through taste, scent, or a combination of both. -

Accd Nuclear Transfer of Platycodon Grandiflorum and the Plastid of Early
Hong et al. BMC Genomics (2017) 18:607 DOI 10.1186/s12864-017-4014-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access accD nuclear transfer of Platycodon grandiflorum and the plastid of early Campanulaceae Chang Pyo Hong1, Jihye Park2, Yi Lee3, Minjee Lee2, Sin Gi Park1, Yurry Uhm4, Jungho Lee2* and Chang-Kug Kim5* Abstract Background: Campanulaceae species are known to have highly rearranged plastid genomes lacking the acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) subunit D gene (accD), and instead have a nuclear (nr)-accD. Plastid genome information has been thought to depend on studies concerning Trachelium caeruleum and genome announcements for Adenophora remotiflora, Campanula takesimana, and Hanabusaya asiatica. RNA editing information for plastid genes is currently unavailable for Campanulaceae. To understand plastid genome evolution in Campanulaceae, we have sequenced and characterized the chloroplast (cp) genome and nr-accD of Platycodon grandiflorum, a basal member of Campanulaceae. Results: We sequenced the 171,818 bp cp genome containing a 79,061 bp large single-copy (LSC) region, a 42,433 bp inverted repeat (IR) and a 7840 bp small single-copy (SSC) region, which represents the cp genome with the largest IR among species of Campanulaceae. The genome contains 110 genes and 18 introns, comprising 77 protein-coding genes, four RNA genes, 29 tRNA genes, 17 group II introns, and one group I intron. RNA editing of genes was detected in 18 sites of 14 protein-coding genes. Platycodon has an IR containing a 3′ rps12 operon, which occurs in the middle of the LSC region in four other species of Campanulaceae (T. caeruleum, A. remotiflora, C. -

Does Pollen Supply Limit Seed Set of Baptisia Bracteata?
Transactions of the Illinois State Academy of Science received 2/7/13 (2013) Volume 106, pp. 5-8 accepted 8/3/13 Does Pollen Supply Limit Seed Set of Baptisia bracteata? Chris E. Petersen, Sally Jo Detloff, Sophie K. Shukin and Barbara A. Petersen College of DuPage, Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 ABSTRACT Baptisia bracteata is a perennial legume native to tallgrass prairie that flowers early in the growth season and produces a relatively low seed set compared to a taller sympatric congener, B. alba. This study tested for evidence that B. bracteata is pollen limited. The study site was a reconstructed tallgrass prairie located in northeastern Illinois. Experimental treatments included a control, and two hand-pollination treatments, one where pollen transfer was limited to the same plant and the other where pollen was taken from other plants. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the effect of treatment on two indicators of pollination success of a plant, i.e., arcsine √xi transfor- mations of pods inflated/flower and seeds matured/flower. Log10(Flower count/plant +1) provided a covariate in both ANCOVAs, while likewise transformed counts of a seed predator, Apion rostrum, provided a second covariate to seeds matured/plant. Based on ANCOVA, pollination treatment did not affect the number of pods inflated/flower or seeds matured/flower. Flower count/plant showed a significant effect in both comparisons. A. rostrum, which synchronizes its life cycle to B. alba, did not affect seeds matured/flower of B. bracteata. Using Spearman Rank Correlation, flower count/plant was positively related to seeds matured/plant, indicating the importance of inflo- rescence size to seed set. -

Particular attention is paid to the pollen morphology of basal families of this group and to that of problematic taxa that are considered as sister groups to the group under study. Ultrastructurally similar sporoderms of several families, including (1) Asteraceae, Calyceraceae, and Goodeniaceae; (2) Campanulaceae, Phellinaceae, and Menyanthaceae; (3) Rousseaceae, Abrophyllaceae, and Columelliaceae, are described.
