Bowers moved that the Minutes be approved and the motion was, seconded by C. R. Jackson. Approval was unanimous. 4. Consideration of Agenda The Agenda as shown on page 1 was adopted. 5. Appointment of Committees W. T. Pike, Chairman, appointed the following committees: Nominating Committee Resolutions Committee H. W. Bennett George White J. A. Martin G. B. Killinger. H. L. Hyland Time and Place of Next Meeting R. E. Sigafus R. J. Stadtherr 6. Progress Reports Reports of progress in the evaluation of new crops and plants were pre- sented by S-9 Committee Members by states in alphabetical order, and by representatives of other research organizations. Additional reports from the University of Kentucky were presented by D. C. Milbocker on ornamental plants and blueberries, and by N. L. Taylor on the collection of Trifolium 'species. Representatives from Alabama, Virginia, and the Soil Conservation Service were absent, but reports from Alabama and SCS were submitted for inclusion in these Minutes. Copies of all reports' presented are included. 7. ARS Personnel Associated with Plant Introduction Reorganization of ARS in 1972 placed personnel in new positions and severed many lines of communications that existed in the national program of plant introduction. H. L. Hyland discussed the new organization of ARS at the .1972 S-9 meeting but some positions had not been filled at that time. W. R. Langford distributed a list of ARS employees in the Southern Region. Area Directors, Location Leaders, and Research Leaders were included on the list. The Germplasm Resources Laboratory of the Plant Genetics and Germplasm Institute, ARS, Beltsville, Md. under the leadership of Dr. George White now conducts plant introduction activities that formerly were done by the New Crops Research Branch. Quentin Jones presented a report on personnel constituting the ARS Plant Germplasm Coordinating Committee. Included in the report are the names of individuals, their affiliation and address. 4 8. S-9 Representation at National Coordinating Committee Meeting' C. R. Jackson announced that the National Coordinating Committee will meet at the National Arboretum in October 1973. S-9 representatives to that Meeting will receive more 'detailed information later: W. R. Langford stated that it has been a long-time policy of S-9 for the 'Administrative Advisor, Coordinator, Chairman and Secretary of S-9 to attend the NCC meetings and that the nominating committee should take this into con- sideration when nominating officers for next year. 9. Regional Station Budget W. R. Langford presented the regional station budget for the coming year. A copy of the budget is attached. He stressed consideration of funds to construct a new seed storage facility worthy of the seed collection on hand. The motion to approve the budget was made by E. L. Whiteley and seconded by W. R. Langford. Approval was unanimous. 10. Inventory of Plant Germplasm Collections in Southern Region W. R. Langford stated that one function of the ARS Germplasm Coordinating Committee is to review annually the total ARS program of Plant Introduction, determine the germplasm needs, and make recommendations for new plant ex- plorations. In order to establish priorities for future explorations the committee needs to know what germplasm is now available in this country, especially those collections maintained at locations other than at the regional stations. H. W. Bennett stated that 5000 sweet sorghum accessions are maintained at the U. S. Sugar Crops Field Station near Meridian; a regional cotton variety collection of 1200 numbers of 1000 genetic varieties is maintained at Stoneville; and that GroupV soybeans, consisting of 1000 strains, are maintained at Stoneville.. Fike discussed the status of the blueberry collection in North Carolina and the probability of preparing and issuing a catalogue of the available stocks.. Dr. Whiteley commented on cotton introductions maintained in Texas. Dr. Jackson encouraged the committee to complete the survey of germplasm collections held at state stations and advise the coordinator of such collections. 11. Requests for Plant Explorations H. W. Bennett and E. L. Whiteley presented formal requests for collections of Paspalum and Bufflegrass, respectively. Copies of these requests are attached. Members of the committee suggested further exploration for tomato, crambe, kenaf, warm season legumes, fescue, Phalaris, Vaccinium, okra, Digitaria, Panicum, Eragrostis, and Capsicum. Dr. Jones stated that S-9 requests would be considered in competation with those from the other three regions, and he suggested formal written proposals with a good justi- fication would likely get more consideration than would informal requests. W. R. Langford stated that perhaps written requests with a strong justi- fication can be prepared for some of the species listed above by the time the ARS Germplasm Committee meets. , . 5 12. Regional Publication on Ornamental Plant Introductions R. J. Stadtherr discussed the progress that has been made toward the pub- lication of a regional bulletin on ornamental plant introductions. A copy of the report is attached. 13. Regional Publication on New Crops E. L. Whiteley reported that material for this publication is still being assembled. Dr. White will supply evaluations for many species that have not progressed beyond the seed increase and preliminary testing stage. Dr. Jackson encouraged committee members, who have material for this publication to submit it to Dr. Whiteley. • 14. Support for Project IR-1 Dr. Fike read a letter from Dr. Clare Harris, CSRS, giving the status of Project IR-1 been without a project leader since Dr. P. R. Rowe left IR-1 several months ago. Upon discussing the contributions of IR-1 to southern agriculture and the continue d need for potato germplasm, the consensus of opinion of the S-9 Committeewas that IR-1 should be continued and that funds should be made available to employ a new leader for It. Dr. Fike requested the resolutions committee to prepare a resolution ex- pressing the S-9 committee's attitude toward 15. Administrative Advisors Report C. R. Jackson reported on invitation to Dr. Fenton Sands, Director of Agricultural Experiment Station of the Virgin Islands, to appoint a representative to the committee. 16. Plan of Work for 1974 Dr. George White will keep the coordinator informed of any new accessions of chemurgic plants available for evaluation in 1974. Seed of available materials will be forwarded to the regional station for distribution to state-stations participating in the evaluation of chemurgic crops. 17. Committee Reports a. Nominating The Nominating Committee nominated E. L. Whiteley for Chairman and R. G. Creech for Secretary. The motion that nominations be . closed and that the nominees be elected by acclamation was made by G.

  • Development of a Synthetic Plant Volatile-Based Attracticide for Female Noctuid Moths
    Australian Journal of Entomology (2010) 49, 10–20 Development of a synthetic plant volatile-based attracticide for female noctuid moths. I. Potential sources of volatiles attractive to Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)aen_733 10..20 Alice P Del Socorro,1,2* Peter C Gregg,1,2 Daniel Alter2 and Chris J Moore3 1Cotton Catchment Communities Cooperative Research Centre, Narrabri, NSW 2390, Australia. 2School of Environmental and Rural Science, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia. 3Animal Research Institute, Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries, Yeerongpilly, Qld 4105, Australia. Abstract This paper is the first of a series which will describe the development of a synthetic plant volatile-based attracticide for noctuid moths. It discusses potential sources of volatiles attractive to the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), and an approach to the combination of these volatiles in synthetic blends. We screened a number of known host and non-host (for larval development) plants for attractiveness to unmated male and female moths of this species, using a two-choice olfactometer system. Out of 38 plants tested, 33 were significantly attractive to both sexes. There was a strong correlation between attractiveness of plants to males and females. The Australian natives, Angophora floribunda and several Eucalyptus species were the most attractive plants. These plants have not been recorded either as larval or oviposition hosts of Helicoverpa spp., suggesting that attraction in the olfactometer might have been as nectar foraging rather than as oviposition sources. To identify potential compounds that might be useful in developing moth attractants, especially for females, collections of volatiles were made from plants that were attractive to moths in the olfactometer.

  • Wingnut (Juglandaceae)
    83 Wingnut (Juglandaceae) as a new generic host for Pityophthorus juglandis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and the thousand cankers disease pathogen, Geosmithia morbida (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) Stacy M. Hishinuma, Paul L. Dallara, Mohammad A. Yaghmour, Marcelo M. Zerillo, Corwin M. Parker, Tatiana V. Roubtsova, Tivonne L. Nguyen, Ned A. Tisserat, Richard M. Bostock, Mary L. Flint, Steven J. Seybold1 Abstract—The walnut twig beetle (WTB), Pityophthorus juglandis Blackman (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), vectors a fungus, Geosmithia morbida Kolařík, Freeland, Utley, and Tisserat (Ascomycota: Hypocreales), which colonises and kills the phloem of walnut and butternut trees, Juglans Linnaeus (Juglandaceae). Over the past two decades, this condition, known as thousand cankers disease (TCD), has led to the widespread mortality of Juglans species in the United States of America. Recently the beetle and pathogen were discovered on several Juglans species in northern Italy. Little is known about the extra-generic extent of host acceptability and suitability for the WTB. We report the occurrence of both the WTB and G. morbida in three species of wingnut, Pterocarya fraxinifolia Spach, Pterocarya rhoifolia Siebold and Zuccarini, and Pterocarya stenoptera de Candolle (Juglandaceae) growing in the United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service, National Clonal Germplasm Repository collection in northern California (NCGR) and in the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden in southern California, United States of America. In two instances (once in P. stenoptera and once in P. fraxinifolia) teneral (i.e., brood) adult WTB emerged and were collected more than four months after infested branch sections had been collected in the field. Koch’s postulates were satisfied with an isolate of G.

    Ethnobotanical Leaflets 14: 402-412, 2010. In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity of Sapindus mukorossi and Emblica officinalis Against Dental Caries Pathogens Kamal Rai Aneja, Radhika Joshi* and Chetan Sharma Department of Microbiology, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra -136119. India Corresponding author Email: [email protected] Issued: April 01, 2010 Abstract The in vitro antimicrobial activity of Sapindus mukorossi and Emblica officinalis fruit extracts were studied against Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The acetone, ethanol, methanol, hot water and cold water extracts of S.mukorossi exhibited antimicrobial activity against one of the tested microorganisms i.e. S.cerevisiae. All the five extracts of E.officinalis showed inhibitory activity against S.mutans while the acetonic, hot and cold aqueous extracts showed inhibitory activity against S.aureus also. The largest zone of inhibition was obtained with the acetonic extract of S.mukorossi against S.cerevisiae (29.65mm) and hot water extract of E.officinalis against S.aureus (40.32mm). Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the extracts were also determined against the selected microorganisms showing zones of inhibition ≥8mm. This study depicts that the fruits of Sapindus mukorossi and Emblica officinalis possess very good antifungal and antibacterial activities respectively and can be used as a potential source of novel antimicrobial agents used to cure dental caries. Key words : Dental caries, Sapindus mukorossi, Emblica officinalis, antimicrobial activity, zone of inhibition, minimum inhibitory concentration. Introduction Dental caries is a very common problem that affects all age groups. It is a process in which the enamel and the dentine are demineralised by acids produced by bacterial fermentation of carbohydrates (de Soet and de Graff, 1998).

ISSN: 0254-8704 25 (1),45-50 (2004) http://www.geocities.com/Lenviron_biol/ L environ [email protected] A new distribution of Caucasian wingnut (Pterocarya fraxinifolia (Poiret) Spach) in the Kahramanmaras region, Turkey Mahmut D. Avsar and Tolga Ok Department of Forest Engineering, Faculty of Forestry, Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University, Kahramanmaras, Turkey. (Received : 24 March, 2003 ; Accepted : 30 June, 2003) Abstract : Caucasian wingnut (Pterocarya fraxinifolia (Poiret) Spach) is a relict tree species having limited natural distribution in Turkey. In this study, a new distribution of this species in the Kahramanmaras region was explained. This distribution occurs in Onsenhopuru and Yavuzlar villages and Yesilyore town of Turkoglu district, at elevations between 600 and 640 m along Orcan stream, and continues about 4 km. In this area, Caucasian wingnut had about 100 trees. This distribution area of the species, quite important for biodiversity, should be protected and the existing individuals should be evaluated as a gene resource. Especially vegetative reproduction of the species should be started and the seedlings obtained should be used at the margins of lakes and streams, parks and large gardens, avenues, boulevards, and streets in the region. Key words : Pterocarya fraxinifolia, Natural distribution, Ecological characteristics, Biological characteristics, Protection. Introduction province were investigated, and some important The genus Pferocarya contains 8 species ecological and biological characteristics of the species throughout the world. One of these species is Caucasian were determined (Avsar, 2001). It was reported that this wingnut (Pferocarya fraxinifolia (Poiret) Spach) oecurring species also occurs in Andirin district of Kahramanmaras in Turkey, the Caucasus, and northern Iran.
