  • The Pubescent-Fruited Species of Prunus of the Southwestern States
    THE PUBESCENT-FRUITED SPECIES OF PRUNUS OF THE SOUTHWESTERN STATES By SIMS C. MASON, Arboriculturist, Crop Physiology and Breeding Investigations, Bureau of Plant Industry INTRODUCTION The species of the genus Prunus described in this article occupy a unique position in the flora of the western United States from the fact that their relationship with the wild plums of the country is remote and they are more closely allied to some of the Asiatic species of this genus. Their economic importance arises chiefly from their close adaptation to the climatic and soil conditions of the Southwest, where fluctuations of heat and cold, severe drought, and considerable alkalinity of the soil must be endured by most tree crops. Adaptable stocks for the cultivated forms of Prunus capable of meeting such conditions are eagerly sought. Species with such characters which are capable of being hybridized with the old-established cultivated forms of the genus offer attractive possibilities to the plant breeder. This is especially true of the one edible-fruited form, Prunus texana, which affords in aroma and flavor of fruit most attractive characters for combi- nation with other stone fruits of larger size and more staple commercial character. Instead of forming a homogeneous group, as has usually been be- lieved, these species fall into small groups of quite diverse character and affinities. To the plant breeder and student of their economic possibilities these relationships are of such importance that the following detailed study of them is deemed essential

  • Flora of the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory Annotated Catalog of Vascular Plants
    Flora of the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory Annotated Catalog of Vascular Plants Updated June 2013 Ann M. Howald This updated catalog for the flora of the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory (SNARL) includes all vascular plants identified during field studies conducted from 1978 through spring 2013. Taxonomic nomenclature is mainly consistent with The Jepson Manual, Second Edition (Baldwin et al. 2012). The families, genera, and species are arranged alphabetically. The scientific name of each species is followed by a common name of popular usage. No attempt was made to determine all common names that might apply to a given species. Scientific names of native species are in bold type; those of introduced species are in plain type. Annotations for all taxa include: 1) life form (e.g., annual herb, perennial herb, etc.); 2) flower color; and 3) the general abundance and distribution at SNARL. For flowering plants, the approximate flowering period in the eastern Sierra is given. Locations of most landscape features mentioned in the text (e.g., headquarters building, stream control structure 3, etc.) and numbering of the stream control structures, are as shown on current maps of SNARL. The most recent previously applied scientific name is given in brackets. A voucher specimen deposited at a herbarium participating in the Consortium of California Herbaria (CCH) is cited for most taxa. A set of duplicate herbarium specimens is housed at SNARL.

  • Tranzschelia Discolor (Fuckel) Tranzschel & Litv., 1939
    -- CALIFORNIA D EPAUMENT OF cdfa FOOD & AGRICULTURE ~ California Pest Rating Proposal for Tranzschelia discolor (Fuckel) Tranzschel & Litv., 1939 Synonym Tranzschelia pruni-spinosae var. discolor (Fuckel) Dunegan, 1938 Stone fruit rust Domain: Eukaryota; Kingdom: Fungi; Phylum: Basidiomycota; Subphylum: Pucciniomycotina; Class: Pucciniomycetes; Order: Pucciniales Family: Uropyxidaceae Current Pest Rating: C Proposed Pest Rating: C Comment Period: 12/07/2020 through 01/21/2021 Initiating Event: A request for clarification on the rating for Tranzschelia discolor came from a County plant pathologist. The risk to California from T. discolor is described herein and a permanent rating is proposed. History & Status: Background: Tranzschelia discolor is a rust pathogen, mainly attacking plants in the genus Prunus. Almond, peach, and prune are the most susceptible hosts in California, but it also affects apricot, cherry, nectarine, and plum. It is a macrocyclic, heteroecious rust with multiple spore stages that develop on two different hosts. However, the alternate host is not necessary for epidemics to develop on Prunus. Prunus is the primary host and produces stage II (urediniospores), stage III (teliospores), and stage IV (basidiospores). The alternate host is Anemone coronaria which produces stage 0 (spermatia) and stage 1 (aeciospores). Urediniospores are the repeating, vegetative spores and can autoinfect their Prunus host. The pathogen can be separated into formae speciales (f. sp.), based on host specificity in the uredinial infection stage. Bolkan et al., 1985, showed that the uredinial stages are specific to the -- CALIFORNIA D EPAUMENT OF cdfa FOOD & AGRICULTURE ~ host where they are produced and do not cross-infect. These forms are T. discolor f. sp.

  • The Evolution of Seed Dispersal Syndromes in Prunus
    University of Nevada, Reno The evolution of seed dispersal syndromes in Prunus A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology by Maurie J. Beck Stephen B. Vander Wall, Dissertation Advisor August, 2009 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the dissertation prepared under our supervision by MAURIE BECK entitled The Evolution Of Seed Dispersal Syndromes In Prunus be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Stephen B. Vander Wall, Advisor Stephen H. Jenkins, Committee Member William S. Longland, Committee Member David W. Zeh, Committee Member Thomas J. Nickles , Graduate School Representative Marsha H. Read, Ph. D., Associate Dean, Graduate School August, 2009 i ABSTRACT There are two fruit types in the genus Prunus. The majority of species have fleshy- fruited drupes, which are considered the ancestral phenotype. In the deserts of Eurasia and North America there are also species that produce dry fruits and large nuts, suggesting this fruit type has originated independently on numerous occasions in response to dry conditions. Fleshy-fruited Prunus are dispersed by frugivorous animals, primarily birds and some mammalian carnivores. In this dissertation, by documenting complete seed fate pathways, I demonstrate that desert peach (Prunus andersonii), a dry, nut-producing species in the western Great Basin of North America, is only dispersed by scatter- hoarding rodents. Additionally, I demonstrate that western chokecherry (P. virginiana var. demissa, Rosaceae) is also dispersed by scatter-hoarding rodents, following primary dispersal by endozoochorous frugivores. This type of two-phased seed dispersal is a form of diplochory, a process that employs different modes of dispersal during sequential dispersal phases and usually offers unique benefits during each phase.

The study site, ca. 50 square miles, encompasses Owens Peak’s eastern watershed, and ranges in elevation from 800–2600 m (2600–8400 ft). Granite rocks of the Sierra Nevada batholith underlie the study area. The eastern watershed of Owens Peak is botanically diverse, with 64 families, 230 genera, and 440 taxa currently documented. Floristic elements within the study area include the southern Sierra Nevada, Great Basin, and Mojave Desert. The flora previously was poorly documented, as discovered through a search of California’s largest herbaria (CAS/DS, RSA-POM, UC/JEPS).
