  • Interspecific Hybridizations in Ornamental Flowering Cherries
    J. AMER.SOC.HORT.SCI. 138(3):198–204. 2013. Interspecific Hybridizations in Ornamental Flowering Cherries Validated by Simple Sequence Repeat Analysis Margaret Pooler1 and Hongmei Ma USDA-ARS, U.S. National Arboretum, 10300 Baltimore Avenue, Building 010A, Beltsville, MD 20705 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. simple sequence repeat, molecular markers, plant breeding, Prunus ABSTRACT. Flowering cherries belong to the genus Prunus, consisting primarily of species native to Asia. Despite the popularity of ornamental cherry trees in the landscape, most ornamental Prunus planted in the United States are derived from a limited genetic base of Japanese flowering cherry taxa. Controlled crosses among flowering cherry species carried out over the past 30 years at the U.S. National Arboretum have resulted in the creation of interspecific hybrids among many of these diverse taxa. We used simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to verify 73 of 84 putative hybrids created from 43 crosses representing 20 parental taxa. All verified hybrids were within the same section (Cerasus or Laurocerasus in the subgenus Cerasus) with no verified hybrids between sections. Ornamental flowering cherry trees are popular plants for pollen parent bloomed before the seed parent, anthers were street, commercial, and residential landscapes. Grown primar- collected from the pollen donor just before flower opening and ily for their spring bloom, flowering cherries have been in the allowed to dehisce in gelatin capsules which were stored in United States since the mid-1850s (Faust and Suranyi, 1997), paper coin envelopes in the refrigerator before use. In most and they gained in popularity after the historic Tidal Basin cases, the seed parent was emasculated before pollination.

  • Plant Inventory No. 212 Is the Official Listing of Plant Materials Accepted Into the U.S
    United States Department of Agriculture Plant Inventory Agricultural Research Service No. 212 Plant Materials Introduced in 2003 (Nos. 632417 - 634360) Foreword Plant Inventory No. 212 is the official listing of plant materials accepted into the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) between January 1 and December 31, 2003 and includes PI 632417 to PI 634360. The NPGS is managed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Research Service (ARS). The information on each accession is essentially the information provided with the plant material when it was obtained by the NPGS. The information on an accession in the NPGS database may change as additional knowledge is obtained. The Germplasm Resources Information Network (http://www.ars-grin.gov/npgs/index.html) is the database for the NPGS and should be consulted for the current accession and evaluation information and to request germplasm. While the USDA/ARS attempts to maintain accurate information on all NPGS accessions, it is not responsible for the quality of the information it has been provided.

  • Approved Plant List
    Approved Plant List Facts to Know INTRODUCTION: The Approved Tree and Plant List has been complied by highly-qualified experts in the field of horticulture and High Plains native plants, and it includes hundreds of species of plants and trees that are suited to the city’s environment. The list is to be used by property owners, developers, and the city as a standard for selecting native and adapted plant species to minimize maintenance costs, conserve water, and improve longevity. The following pages contain city-approved street tree species, prohibited species, and information regarding invasive species. This information should be used when preparing or updating a landscape plan. If you have any specific questions about this document, please contact the Community Development Department at 303-289-3683. Emerald Ash Borer Please be advised that Ash Borer (Pdodsesia syringae Harris) infestation concerns have been raised by the U.S. Forest Service and by Colorado State University for Ash trees along the Front Range and within Commerce City. The Ash Borer is an exotic insect from Asia that has been found feeding on Ash trees in the area. This insect feeds on all Ash species and can kill trees in one to three years. Therefore, in 2010 Commerce City’s Planning and Parks Planning Divisions issued a temporary, but indefinite, restriction on the use of Ash trees for developments within the city. The city’s policy regarding Ash trees is as follows: 1. Ash trees will not be approved for use in: • Any tree lawn or other right-of-way plantings that are associated with Site Plans, Development Plans, or Improvement Plans.
