Based on the analysis of the existing cultivar classification principle of wintersweet in agricultural zone, the necessary of cultivar classification principle of wintersweet in agricultural zone according to ICNCP were pointed out. The practicality and scientificalness of the purple texture on the inner tepals as the primary classification standard were demonstrated. ‘compliance with international norms, scientific, practical’ as the classification principle, the dual classification system of ‘cultivar group-cultivar’ were carried out. Keywords: Classification standard, cultivar classification principle, cultivar group, wintersweet in agricultural zone INTRODUCTION Concolor wintersweet in agricultural zone; some flower types are half containing like chime, some are bell- According to the "ICNCP", variety is defined as shaped and some are bowl-shaped; some tepals are oval "for the sake of the unity, correctness and stability of and some are lanceolate; inner tepals purple lines the name of a variety, on the agricultural, forestry and change from no to full purple and this phenomenon is horticultural purposes, the cultivated plants group with very similar to the wintersweet in agricultural zone any kind of characteristics, such as morphology, cultivation, so the evolution rules are not very obvious. physiology, cell, chemical and other aspects, which can It is now generally considered dogteeth type is more still maintain the characteristics of this difference by primitive Chimonanthus, because the majority of wild sexual or asexual reproduction are regarded as wintersweet in agricultural zone are dog teeth type, varieties" (Guo et al., 2004; Xiang and Zang, 2006). some varieties are often deteriorated as dog teeth type. The purpose of the classification of flower varieties is to research the species and the origin, classification, MATERIALS AND METHODS nomenclature, cultivation history and geographical distribution of the flower varieties, so as to expand the The existing cultivar classification system of application of landscape plants (Chen, 1993a; Zang wintersweet in agricultural zone: wintersweet in et al., 2002), improve the production of flowers and agricultural zone is an ancient and primitive plant in the garden seedlings and provide theoretical basis for the plant kingdom and is the speciality in China. It is one of rational utilization of flower germplasm resources the few winter flower plants with great landscape value, (Chen, 1998). but its species application and development is far less In addition, the evolution of wintersweet in than the sweet scented osmanthus, peony, plum and agricultural zone cultivars is carrying on in the four other flowers (Liu and Tang, 2004; Chen, 1993b).

  • Winter Blooming Shrubs by RICHARD E
    Winter Blooming Shrubs by RICHARD E. WEAVER, JR. Winters in the eastern part of this country south of Washington, D.C. are seldom as unpleasant as they are here in the Northeast. Of course the temperatures there are less extreme, but for those of us who appreciate plants and flowers, the real difference is perhaps due to the Camellias. Blooming through the worst weather that January and February have to offer, these wonderful plants with their bright and showy blooms make winter something almost worth anticipating. Although there are some hopeful new developments through con- centrated breeding efforts, we in most of the Northeast still must do without Camellias in our gardens. Nevertheless, there are a sur- prising number of hardy shrubs, perhaps less showy but still charm- ing and attractive, that will bloom for us through the winter and the early days of spring. Some, such as the Witch Hazels, are foolproof; others present a challenge for they are susceptible to our capricious winters and may lose their opening flowers to a cold March. For those gardeners willing to take the chance, a few of the best early- flowering shrubs displayed in the border, or as the focal point in a winter garden, will help to soften the harshness of the season. Many plants that bloom in the early spring have their flowers per- fectly formed by the previous fall. Certain of these do not require a period of cold dormancy, and in mild climates will flower intermit- tently during the fall and winter. Most species, however, do require an environmental stimulus, usually a period of cold temperatures, before the buds will break and the flowers open.

Wood features ofthe family have been summarized by Metcalfe and Chalk (1950); various authors have mentioned one or more traits in studies dealing with Calycanthaceae (e.g., Wilson 1979) or other families (e.g., Garratt 1934). In view of recent interest in Idiospermum australiense (Diels) Blake, a new comparative study is needed. One goal of the present study is clarification of relationships of Idiospermum to Calycanthus and Chimonanthus. Wood anatomy of Idiospermum was described by Blake ( 1972) and Wilson ( 1979); a new description is offered here to provide more quantitative data. De­ scriptions of the wood of Calycanthus and Chimonanthus provided here incorporate such quantitative data, but also modify earlier descriptions with respect to some important qualitative features. Material of the recently de­ scribed genus Sinocalycanthus (Cheng and Chan 1964) was not available, although the description of that genus suggests it is not strongly different from Calycanthus or Chimonanthus. The present study incorporates material of Calycanthus floridus L. var. floridus, C.

  • Pollination-Induced Gene Changes That Lead to Senescence in Petunia × Hybrida
    Pollination-Induced Gene Changes That Lead to Senescence in Petunia × hybrida DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Shaun Robert Broderick, M.S. Graduate Program in Horticulture and Crop Science The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Michelle L. Jones, Advisor Feng Qu Eric J. Stockinger Esther van der Knaap Copyrighted by Shaun Robert Broderick 2014 Abstract Flower longevity is a genetically programmed event that ends in flower senescence. Flowers can last from several hours to several months, based on flower type and environmental factors. For many flowers, particularly those that are ethylene- sensitive, longevity is greatly reduced after pollination. Cellular components are disassembled and nutrients are remobilized during senescence, which reduces the net energy expenditures of floral structures. The goal of this research is to identify the genes that can be targeted to extent shelf life by inhibiting pollination-induced senescence. Identifying and characterizing regulatory shelf-life genes will enable breeders to incorporate specific alleles that improve post production quality into ethylene-sensitive crops. Petunia × hybrida is particularly amenable to flower longevity studies because of its large floral organs, predictable flower senescence timing, and importance in the greenhouse industry. A general approach to gene functional analysis involves reducing gene expression and observing the resulting phenotype. Viruses, such as tobacco rattle virus (TRV), can be used to induce gene silencing in plants like petunia. We optimized several parameters that improved virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) in petunia by increasing the consistency and efficiency of silencing.

Accepted 10 May, 2012 An efficient protocol for plant regeneration of Chimonanthus praecox (L.) Link, was developed using leaves from seedlings of seeds. Shoots induction were influenced by cytokinins and nodal positions. The results show that the highest callus induction frequency was obtained on MS medium supplemented with 2.0 mg l−1 6-benzyladenine (6-BA) and 0.9 mg l−1 1-naphthalene-acetic acid (NAA) after 10 days incubation in darkness. The frequency of callus induction of different nodal leaves (from the first to the forth node) varied from 70.0 to 93.5%; the highest frequency of callus induction (93.5%) was observed in the second node group. Through many times subculture of callus, green and compact callus was selected and transferred to regeneration medium (MS, 1/2 MS and woody plant medium (WPM) supplemented with different concentrations of thidiazuron (TDZ) (2.37, 4.74 and 9.48 mg l−1) and NAA (0.74, 1.48, and 2.96 mg l−1). It was shown that the optimal combination of the three factors was WPM + NAA + TDZ. The highest adventitious shoot regeneration frequency of leaf explants (71.33%) and the highest mean number of shoots per explant (2.23) were obtained on WPM supplemented with 2.37 mg l−1 TDZ and 1.48 mg l−1 NAA.

Abstract: In order to better understand the floral fragrance compounds of Chimonanthus praecox belonging to genus Chimonanthus of Chimonanaceae in Yunnan, headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to analyze these compounds from four C. praecox plants with different floral colors. Thirty-one types of floral fragrance compounds were identified, among which terpenes, alcohols, esters, phenols, and heterocyclic compounds were the main compounds. Interestingly, the floral fragrance compounds identified in the flowers of C. praecox var. concolor included benzyl acetate, α-ocimene, eugenol, indole, and benzyl alcohol. By contrast, the floral fragrance compounds β-ocimene, α-ocimene, and trans-β-ocimene were detected in C. praecox var. patens. Cluster analysis showed that C. praecox var. concolor H1, H2, and C. praecox var. patens H4 were clustered in one group, but C. praecox var. patens H3 was individually clustered in Citation: Meng, L.; Shi, R.; Wang, Q.; α Wang, S.

  • Chimonanthus Praecoxpraecox Winterwinter Sweetsweet
    ChimonanthusChimonanthus praecoxpraecox WinterWinter sweetsweet Chimonanthus praecox (Winter sweet, melon tree) is native to China, in the mountains of east Sichuan, north-east Chongqing, north-west Hunan and north-west Hubei, up to a height of 3,000 metres. This plant was introduced in Europe by the English in 1766, but they were not the first. The Arabs had taken the shrub with them from China long before that. This can be seen from the Chimonanthus shrubs one finds in almost all Moresque gardens in Spain, like the Alhambra. Winter sweet grows into a wide, vase-shaped, multi-stem shrub 2 to 3 metres high. From December onwards, Chimonanthus praecox blooms light-yellow flowers that stand out with their deliciously sweet scent. In the rest of the year, the rough long leaves offer a lovely background for e.g. permanent plant borders. In autumn, the winter sweet has a bright-yellow autumn colour. From the age of 5, it bears large, urn-shaped fruit with coffee bean-like seeds. For a rich bloom, the shrub prefers a sunny environment, sheltered from wind, but Chimonanthus praecox can also tolerate light shade. A dry summer will make for better buds for the flowers. The Winter sweet prefers moist, nutrient- rich and permeable soil, but also tolerates dryness and heat. The species is an unknown, but easily usable and entirely winter-hardy, multi-stem shrub for gardens. But Chimonanthus will also enrich the range in parks with its winter blooms and delicious accompanying fragrance. TYPES OF PLANTING Tree types: characteristic trees, solitary

Shrubs or small trees, erect, deciduous or evergreen. Branchlets dichotomous, quadrangular to subterete; winter buds with im- bricate scales but exposed in summer. Leaf blade papery or subleathery, adaxially scabrous or ± smooth. Flowers axillary, fragrant, subsessile to very shortly pedicellate. Tepals numerous, yellow, yellowish white, or white and sometimes with purple markings, membranous, varying in size and shape from outer to inner but not distinctly dimorphic. Stamens 5–8, arranged on cuplike recep- tacle; filaments filamentous but basally broad and connate, usually puberulent; staminodes few to numerous, puberulous, arranged inside stamens on receptacle. Carpels 5–15, distinct; ovules 2 per carpel but 1 ovule usually abortive. Pseudocarp urceolate, ovoid- ellipsoid, obovoid-ellipsoid, or campanulate, pubescent. Achenes oblong, oblong-ellipsoid, ellipsoid, oblong-ovoid, or reniform. ● Six species: China. It is estimated that the Chinese species diverged from each other perhaps as recently as 1–2 million years ago, and the presently available molecular evidence distinguishes all six species but groups Chimonanthus campanulatus and C. praecox separately (with a bootstrap support of 100) from the other four species (S. L. Zhou et al., Molec. Phylogenetic. Evol. 39: 1–15. 2006). However, the molecular evidence is based on a limited number of samples, mostly from botanical gardens. It is difficult to morphologically circumscribe differences to distinguish all six species. Because the molecular evidence does distinguish all six species, it seems best to treat all six in this account but to point out that additional research may well change this interpretation.
