  • Calendula (English Marigold, Pot Marigold, Calendula Officinalis L.)
    Calendula (English marigold, pot marigold, Calendula officinalis L.) Nancy W. Callan, Mal P. Westcott, Susan Wall-MacLane, and James B. Miller Western Agricultural Research Center Montana State University Calendula (Calendula officinalis L.) is an annual with bright yellow or orange daisy-like flowers. The flowers are harvested while in full bloom and dried for use as a medicinal or culinary herb. The entire flower heads or the petals alone are used. An industrial oil may be expressed from the seeds and an absolute oil is obtained from the flowers. Laying chickens may be fed orange calendula flowers to give the egg yolks a deep yellow color. Calendula is a fast-growing annual that is easy to cultivate. It may be direct-seeded in the field and begins to flower in about two months. Harvest of calendula is time-consuming because the flowers form over a long period of time and individual flowers mature quickly. Overmature flowers are undesirable in a herbal product. Frequent hand harvest is necessary to obtain the highest quality product, but some mechanization of harvest may be possible for a lower- grade product or for seed for industrial use. Western Agricultural Research Center Two cultivars of calendula, 'Resina' and 'Erfurter Orangefarbige,' were direct-seeded on May 15, 1998, and May 18, 1999, at 5 lb/a in six-row plots 8 ft long, with rows 18" apart and four replications. Final stand of Resina was 3.3 (1998) and 4.6 (1999) plants/ft and of Erfurter Orangefarbige was 5.5 and 3.9 plants/ft. Flower heads were plucked from the plants by hand and air-dried out of direct sunlight.

  • Effect of Seed Priming on Germination and Seedling Growth of Two Medicinal Plants Under Salinity
    Emir. J. Food Agric. 2010. 22 (2): 130-139 http://ffa.uaeu.ac.ae/ejfa.shtml Short Communication Effect of seed priming on germination and seedling growth of two medicinal plants under salinity Mohammad Sedghi1∗, Ali Nemati2 and Behrooz Esmaielpour3 1Faculty of Agronomy and Plant Breeding, College of Agriculture, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, Iran; 2Islamic Azad University, Ardabil branch 2, Iran; 3Faculty of Horticultural Sciences, College of Agriculture, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, Iran Abstract: Priming is one of the seed enhancement methods that might be resulted in increasing seed performance (germination and emergence) under stress conditions such as salinity, temperature and drought stress. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of different priming types on seed germination of two medicinal plants including pot marigold (Calendula officinalis) and sweet fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) under salinity stress. Treatments were combinations of 5 levels of salinity stress (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 ds m-1) and 5 levels of priming (control, GA3, Manitol, NaCl and distilled water) with 3 replications. Seeds of pot marigold and sweet fennel were primed for 24 h at 25°C. Results indicated that with increasing salinity, germination traits such as germination percent, rate and plumule length decreased, but seed priming with GA3 and NaCl showed lower decrease. In all of the salinity levels, primed seeds (except manitol) possessed more germination rate and plumule length than control. The highest radicle fresh and dry weight in pot marigold was seen at 7.5 ds m-1 salinity stress level. It seems that higher germination rate in pot marigold shows higher tolerance to salinity than sweet fennel.

  • Floral Structure and Dynamics of Nectar Production in Echinacea Pallida Var
    Int. J. Plant Sci. 169(6):708–722. 2008. Ó 2008 by The University of Chicago. All rights reserved. 1058-5893/2008/16906-0002$15.00 DOI: 10.1086/533602 FLORAL STRUCTURE AND DYNAMICS OF NECTAR PRODUCTION IN ECHINACEA PALLIDA VAR. ANGUSTIFOLIA (ASTERACEAE) Tyler J. Wist and Arthur R. Davis1 Department of Biology, University of Saskatchewan, 112 Science Place, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7N 5E2, Canada The reproductive structure of the disk florets of Echinacea pallida var. angustifolia (Asteraceae) in relation to insect pollination was investigated using light, fluorescence, and scanning electron microscopy. The study of this self-incompatible species emphasized pollen production, pollen-stigma interactions, transmitting tissue, and vasculature within the style. Nectary structure and nectar production dynamics were also examined. Produced in the fused anther tubes, the trinucleate pollen with yellow pollenkitt was plentiful per floret, yielding a pollen : ovule ratio of 24,130. Encircling the style base at the ovary summit, the floral nectary pos- sessed modified stomata whose pores, as well as nonstomatal gaps in the epidermis, provided apoplastic pathways for nectar escape and reabsorption. Phloem alone supplied the gland interior, the sieve element– companion cell complexes reaching up to the nectary epidermis. Nectar was hexose dominant, its volume and nectar-sugar quantity per floret peaking on the afternoon of the first day of anthesis until the morning of the second day. Nectar production only occurred in half of the florets for 3 d, rarely for 5 d. Potential honey production from fields of this species was estimated at 2.1–11.9 kg/ha. Keywords: floral nectar, nectary, pollen-stigma interactions, pollination, style.

  • A Phytochemical and Antibacterial Analysis of Echinacea Purpurea (L.) Moench Throughout Seasonal Development
    A phytochemical and antibacterial analysis of Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench throughout seasonal development Elizabeth Daley A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the M.Sc. degree in Biology Department of Biology Faculty of Science University of Ottawa © Elizabeth Daley, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 ABSTRACT Echinacea purpurea is consumed as a natural health product around the world. Due to the genus’ ethnobotanical relevance, the phytochemistry of Echinacea has been extensively studied, revealing a variety of bioactive metabolites including caffeic acid derivatives and alkylamides. Whereas seasonal trends in root chemistry have been established, trends in other plant parts are relatively understudied. Similarly, few studies have evaluated the effects of organic plant growth substances in field trials. With increased demand for organic products, industry is looking for alternative ways to optimize yields and medicinal properties. For this thesis, my first objective was to quantify the concentrations of E. purpurea’s secondary metabolites across organic treatments throughout the plant’s first growth year to determine optimal harvesting time and conditions in all parts of the plant. The second objective was to determine how seasonal variations affect its potential bioactivity through inhibition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Plants were grown in field plots treated with four different organic treatments: water (control), high cytokinin, low cytokinin, and fish oils; samples were collected biweekly from May-September. Dried plants were separated into major plant parts and were extracted exhaustively in 70% EtOH. Using high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), concentrations of alkylamides and select caffeic acid derivatives were quantified in all samples and compared across plant part, developmental stage, and organic fertilizers.
