Out of 500 species there are a few that can grow around the pond. These plants all care more for the semi-shade in zones 4-7. Most have growth 4-6 inches tall and wide in wet to damp soil. Foliage and flower color give its species its distinction. Propagation is by division and seed. Viola cornuta, horned violet, is a native of the Pyrenees Mountains of Spain. This species grows 12 inches high, with small green leaves covered in large, long-lived violet-shaped flowers of white, lilac- blue, and deep blue. Viola cucullata looks like a common blue violet and grows great in a wet shady bank or seasonally flooded woods. It can tolerate water over the crown for three to five days. Viola labradorica is from the far north of Canada, Greenland, and North America. It grows 1 ½ to 3 inches tall and has small violet flowers in white with violet-veined bases coming from a mound of DUES ARE DUE heart-shaped leaves.

    COST EFFECTIVE PRODUCTION OF SPECIALTY CUT FLOWERS By TODD JASON CAVINS Bachelor of Science Southwestern Oklahoma State University Weatherford, Oklahoma 1997 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE December, 1999 COST EFFECTIVE PRODUCTION OF SPECIALTY CUT FLOWERS Thesis Approved: ' 1 Thesis Advisor .. ;.; ,, ( Dean of the Graduate College 11 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The purpose of this study was to improve production methods of various specialty cut flower species. Improving production methods allows growers to reduce cost, improve plant quality and earn higher profits. This study involved three research areas of specialty cut flowers. Partial funding was provided by a S.A.R.E. grant and Bear Creek Farm, Stillwater, OK. I would like to thank my principle advisor Dr. John Dole for his encouragement, support, honesty and perseverance. I would like to thank Dr. Janet Cole and Dr. Jim Ownby for serving on my thesis committee. Dr. Cole offered valuable insight and direction towards the research. Dr. Ownby contributed with his wealth of knowledge in plant physiology. A special thanks goes to Vicki Stamback and the gang at Bear Creek Farm. Vicki's experience as a specialty cut flower grower allowed me to gain personal knowledge of the cut flower industry that would not have taken place without her. Vicki's efforts and cooperation greatly improved this study. I want to thank Randall Smith and Leah Aufill for their assistance and plant care. Tim Hooper also contributed by offering his experiences from the floriculture industry and providing stress relieving lunch breaks.

  • Garden Pansy (Viola × Wittrockiana Gams.) – a Good Candidate for the Revitalisation of Polluted Areas

(2020): Garden pansy (Viola × wittrockiana Gams.) – a good candidate for the revita- lisation of polluted areas. Plant Soil Environ., 65: 272–280. Abstract: In the current studies, heavy metal tolerance level, accumulation efficiency and sexual reproduction were determined in Viola × wittrockiana, a non-metallophytic ornamental cultivar in comparison to V. tricolor, a metallo- phyte, after zinc (Zn) or lead (Pb) treatment (0, 10, 100 and 1 000 ppm) in pot experiments. The seed germination frequency that was not reduced in comparison to the control, the effective Zn absorption from the soil and exclusion strategy for Pb, as well as the regular sexual reproduction of V. × wittrockiana treated with heavy metals all indicate the tolerance of this plant to heavy metals. The lack of a seed set under experimental conditions of V. × wittrockiana was due to the absence of pollinators, rather than the negative impact of heavy metals, as pollen viability and ovule development were normal under the treatments. The results indicate that V. × wittrockiana represents similar tolerance to Viola metallophytes and could be considered as a good material for the reclamation of polluted areas. The exceptional tolerance to heavy metals, the ability to initiate new generations in heavy-metal-burdened soil, which are additionally coupled with the unique beauty, make the garden pansy a good candidate to be potentially used in the future for phytoremediation purposes.

ABSTRACT: Plants of Viola cornuta displaying typical virus symptoms were observed during spring 2003 in a plant nursery in Córdoba, central Argentina. Electron microscopic examinations of symptomatic leaf samples revealed the presence of isometric virus-like particles about 30 nm in diameter. Subsequent serologi- cal analysis allowed the identification of the pathogen as a subgroup I strain of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). These results were confirmed by antigen capture - reverse transcription - polymerase chain reaction with specific CMV primers, and digestion with a restriction enzyme. This is the first report of CMV infecting V. cornuta in Argentina. Introduction During spring 2003, plants of Viola cornuta L.

Chapter 2 Chalcone Synthase Gene Lineage Diversification confirms Allopolyploid Evolutionary Relationships of European Rostrate Violets1 K. van den Hof, R.G. van den Berg and B. Gravendeel hylogenetic relationships among and within the subsections of Pthe genus Viola are still far from resolved. We present the first organismal phylogeny of predominantly western European species of subsection Rostratae based on the plastid trnS-trnG intron and intergenic spacer and the nuclear low-copy gene Chalcone Synthase (CHS) sequences. CHS is a key enzyme in the synthesis of flavonoids, which are important for flower pigmentation. Genes encoding for CHS are members of a multigene family. In Viola, three different CHS copies are present. CHS gene lineages obtained confirmed earlier hypotheses about reticulate relationships between species of Viola subsection Rostratae based on karyotype data. Comparison of the CHS gene lineage tree and the plastid species phylogeny of Viola reconstructed in this study indicates that the different CHS copies present in Viola are the products of both recent and more ancient duplications. Key words: Chalcone synthase, gene lineage diversification, phylogeny, Viola subsection Rostratae, allopolyploidy, trnS-trnG.

    Investigations of morphological and molecular variation in wild and cultivated violets (Viola; Violaceae) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Daniel William Howard Robarts, B.S. Graduate Program in Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Andrea D. Wolfe, Advisor Pablo Jourdan Laura Kubatko Harvey Ballard Copyright by Daniel William Howard Robarts 2013 Abstract The genus Viola is a large and diverse group of flowering plants. The objectives of this study were to develop and explore new morphological and molecular tools with horticultural and systematic applications. Chapter 1 employed digital image analysis software, Tomato Analyzer, for flower morphology analysis of a 127 accession collection of sect. Melanium violets ("pansy group"). Seventy-seven traits associated with shape, size, and color were scored separately as categorical or continuous variables. The qualitative analysis was favored, capturing more of the variation and receiving higher bootstrap support in cluster analysis dendrograms. Cluster and ordination analyses indicated that the presence of blotch was the primary grouping factor, and secondarily, measures of color and shape (e.g., petal width). Uniformity across accessions of some hybrid morphotypes (e.g., "white with blotch") led to tight clustering across analyses. There were no significant correlations between clustering patterns and accessions' originating country or parent company, as had been previously reported. Chapter 2 builds on the morphological analysis described in Chapter 1 by utilizing sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers to further characterize the collection of Melanium violets. Here, SRAP fragments indicated no significant differences between the horticultural classes of violets, though more were generated from ii species types than hybrid types of the same ploidy.
