How is nondeep physiological dormancy regulated within the seed at the molecular level? 509 References 519 Supplementary material 523 Summary Seed dormancy is an innate seed property that defines the environmental con- ditions in which the seed is able to germinate. It is determined by genetics with a substantial environmental influence which is mediated, at least in part, by the plant hormones abscisic acid and gibberellins. Not only is the dormancy status influenced by the seed maturation environment, it is also continuously changing with time following shedding in a manner determined by the ambient environ- ment. As dormancy is present throughout the higher plants in all major climatic regions, adaptation has resulted in divergent responses to the environment. Through this adaptation, germination is timed to avoid unfavourable weather for subsequent plant establishment and reproductive growth. In this review, we present an integrated view of the evolution, molecular genetics, physiology, biochemistry, ecology and modelling of seed dormancy mechanisms and their control of germination.

  • Plants of Hot Springs Valley and Grover Hot Springs State Park Alpine County, California
    Plants of Hot Springs Valley and Grover Hot Springs State Park Alpine County, California Compiled by Tim Messick and Ellen Dean This is a checklist of vascular plants that occur in Hot Springs Valley, including most of Grover Hot Springs State Park, in Alpine County, California. Approximately 310 taxa (distinct species, subspecies, and varieties) have been found in this area. How to Use this List Plants are listed alphabetically, by family, within major groups, according to their scientific names. This is standard practice for plant lists, but isn’t the most user-friendly for people who haven’t made a study of plant taxonomy. Identifying species in some of the larger families (e.g. the Sunflowers, Grasses, and Sedges) can become very technical, requiring examination of many plant characteristics under high magnification. But not to despair—many genera and even species of plants in this list become easy to recognize in the field with only a modest level of study or help from knowledgeable friends. Persistence will be rewarded with wonder at the diversity of plant life around us. Those wishing to pursue plant identification a bit further are encouraged to explore books on plants of the Sierra Nevada, and visit CalPhotos (calphotos.berkeley.edu), the Jepson eFlora (ucjeps.berkeley.edu/eflora), and CalFlora (www.calflora.org). The California Native Plant Society (www.cnps.org) promotes conservation of plants and their habitats throughout California and is a great resource for learning and for connecting with other native plant enthusiasts. The Nevada Native Plant Society nvnps.org( ) provides a similar focus on native plants of Nevada.

India *Corresponding Author E-mail: [email protected] Received: 12.09.2018 | Revised: 9.10.2018 | Accepted: 16.10.2018 ABSTRACT The reniformis nematodes of the genus Rotylenchulus (Haplolaimidae: Nematoda) are sedentary semi-endoparasites of numerous crops. There are ten species out of which R. reniformis and R. parvus are important, and three species (R. amanictus, R. clavicadatus, R. leptus) are monophagous: two on monocots and one on Rosids. In general, Rotylenchulus species are capable of feeding from very primitive Magnoliids to plants of advanced category. Preference was distinctly observed towards the plants in Rosids (42.779%) followed by monocots (23.949%) and Asterids (21.755%). The SAI values were also higher for these groups of plants. The study on lineages further revealed intimate affinity to febids (25.594%), followed by commelinids (18.647%), malvids (16.088%), lamiids (11.883%), and campanulids (9.141%). Poales contribution within commelinids was 65.353%. Maximum affinity of Rotylenchulus species was observed by their association with plants from families Poaceae (7), followed by Fabaceae (6), Malvaceae (6), Asteraceae (4), Oleaceae (4), Soanaceae (4) and so on. Key words: Agiosperms, Gymnosperms, APG IV system, Reniform nemtodes, Monocots, Rosids, Asterids INTRODUCTION number of crops, whereas the other eight Plant parasitic nematodes pose a great species are of limited importance.

  • Confused by Crucifers?--A Mustard Identification Workshop Tim Miller, Extension Weed Scientist, WSU--Mount Vernon Washington State Weed Conference November 4, 1998
    Confused by Crucifers?--A Mustard Identification Workshop Tim Miller, Extension Weed Scientist, WSU--Mount Vernon Washington State Weed Conference November 4, 1998 WHAT DOES “MUSTARD” MEAN? Mustard is the common household and food industry term for the yellow or brown table condiment so often eaten on hot dogs, as well as the agricultural term for the plant that produces the seeds from which that condiment is made. It is also the common name of the plant family known as Brassicaceae (also called Cruciferae). Any species within that family can be commonly (but loosely) called a “mustard” or a “crucifer.” Our word “mustard” comes from the Latin mustum and Old French mustarde, meaning “must” (a term for the fruit and skins of crushed grapes), perhaps a reference to the crushing of mustard seeds necessary to produce the pungent yellow powder. Botanically speaking, what makes a mustard a mustard? Three major characteristics separate the mustard family from all other plant families: 1. The stamens are tetradynamous, meaning there are four long stamens and two short stamens in each flower (six in total). 2. Each flower bears four petals that form a cross, hence the alternate family name “Cruciferae,” from the Latin cruciform which means “cross-shaped.” 3. The seed pods each have a thin, translucent inner membrane, the replum, that separates the two chambers of the pod, and to which the seeds are attached. Remember: although an unknown plant specimen may possess one or even two of these characteristics, that does not necessarily mean you are looking at a mustard species. It is the combination of all three characteristics that defines the mustard family.

  • Virginia Pepperweed (Lepidium Virginicum)
    Virginia pepperweed (Lepidium virginicum) For definitions of botanical terms, visit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_botanical_terms. Virginia pepperweed begins as a low-growing basal rosette of deeply lobed leaves. Arising from the rosette on branching stems are elongated racemes of tiny whitish-yellow flowers. They have the appearance of thin, greenish-white bottlebrushes. Leaves are linear to lanceolate and toothed. Seeds develop along the stem and vary in shape but most commonly resemble a flat, lentil-shaped disk. Virginia pepperweed flowers are hermaphroditic (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by a variety of insects. Bees love Virginia pepperweed. It is also the host plant for the checkered white (Pontia protodice) and great Southern white (Ascia monuste) butterflies. Photo by Forest and Kim Starr (Creative Commons license) Virginia pepperweed is a member of the mustard family and is edible to humans. The young leaves, which contain protein and vitamins A and C, can be added to salads or sauteed; the seed pods can be used as a substitute for black pepper. (Doubtful? Pop a few clean seeds in your mouth and you will know immediately why this Florida native is sometimes called poor man’s pepper.) Family: Brassicaceae (Mustard family) Native range: Throughout Florida except Nassau and Glades counties To see where natural populations of Virginia pepperweed have been vouchered, visit www.florida.plantatlas.usf.edu. Hardiness: Zones 7–11 Soil: Dry, well-drained, sandy to rich soils Exposure: Full sun Growth habit: 6–20” tall Garden tips: If eating Virginia pepperweed doesn’t appeal to you, the dried seed stems can also be used in flower arrangements.
