  • Common Edible Seaweeds in the Gulf of Alaska
    eliciousor millennia, Alaska edible Natives have seaweedssubsisted COMMON EDIBLE Don the wild edibles—plants, animals, and F seaweeds—found in abundance along Alaska’s shores. In this book, Dr. Dolly Garza, a Haida-Tlingit Indian, shows you how to look for, identify, harvest, preserve, and prepare several species of seaweeds SEAWEEDS and one plant for tasty snacks or for the dinner table. IN THE GULF OF ALASKA A University of Alaska Fairbanks professor emerita, Dolly was raised in southeast Alaska Second Edition where her family routinely harvested seaweeds as a diet staple, a practice they continue today. Dolly enjoys sharing her traditional Native knowledge through presentations to Elderhostel groups, youth groups, and others. In this book she shares with you her lifetime of first-hand knowledge about the pleasures of harvesting, preparing, and eating some of the most common and delectable wild edibles found along Gulf of Alaska shores.

The Mediterranean basin abounds in wild edible species which have been Native plants used for food and medicinal purposes by human throughout the centuries. Many of these species can be found Underutilized species near coastal areas and usually grow under saline conditions, while others can adapt in various harsh conditions Wild greens including high salinity. Scope and approach: The aim of this review focuses on listing and describing the most important halophyte species that traditionally have been gathered by rural communities of the Mediterranean basin, while special interest will be given on their chemical composition and health promoting components. Cases of commercially cultivated halophytes will be also presented to highlight their potential as alternative cash crops, while results from in vitro and in vivo health effects will be presented.

  • Reflections in the Glasswort Genus Salicornia (Amaranthaceae)
    TAXON 61 (6) • December 2012: 1227–1239 Kadereit & al. • Cryptic taxa should have names Cryptic taxa should have names: Reflections in the glasswort genus Salicornia (Amaranthaceae) Gudrun Kadereit,1 Mikko Piirainen,2 Jacques Lambinon3 & Alain Vanderpoorten3 1 Institut für Allgemeine Botanik, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, 55099 Mainz, Germany 2 Botanical Museum, Finnish Museum of Natural History, P.O. Box 7, 00014 University of Helsinki, Finland 3 Université de Liège, Institut de Botanique, B22 Sart Tilman, 4000 Liège, Belgium Author for correspondence: Gudrun Kadereit, [email protected] Abstract Incongruence between morphology and molecules, i.e., genetic differentiation of lineages that are morphologically identical, or morphological variation among accessions sharing identical genotypes, has been increasingly reported and is most problematic in taxa with reduced morphologies. We here review and discuss these issues for plant taxonomy, taking Salicornia, one of the taxonomically most challenging genera of angiosperms, as a model. We argue in favour of a taxonomic system that remains as much ‘workable’ as possible for traditional morphology-based taxonomy, but avoids merging genetically widely divergent lineages despite their morphological similarity. Our revised classification of Eurasian taxa includes four species, ten subspecies and one nothosubspecies. The molecular and morphological characteristics as well as the geographical distribu- tion of each taxon are described. A key to the Eurasian taxa based on morphology and geographical distribution is presented. Keywords cryptic species; incongruence; molecules; morphology; ploidy; Salicornia; subspecies Supplementary Material The free Electronic Supplement (Tables S1–S2) is available in the Supplementary Data section of the online version of this article (http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/iapt/tax).

  • Porphyra Black Seaweed, Nori, Laver
    Porphyra Black Seaweed, Nori, Laver Porphyra is in the red seaweed group. Several species of Porphyra are found along the west coast and approximately 30 species exist worldwide. Locally it is called black seaweed. Description Black seaweed is an annual—it grows and dies back each year. Black seaweed begins to grow in early spring. It is recognizable by the near black strands hanging down rock faces. The near transparent fronds may be a dark rose-purple or a black-green color. The colors are most apparent when the fronds are wet; black seaweed appears nearly black when drying. Porphyra abbottae (Black seaweed) Color: black with purple or green tinge Size: about 2 inches by 20 inches Collecting season: early summer Zone: mid-intertidal 24 Porphyra Several species of Porphyra occur in Southeast Alaska waters. All are edible and nutritious. In all species there is no apparent midrib or stipe and only a small holdfast. The edges of the fronds are ruffled. Porphyra abbottae is the preferred species for harvesting. Individual fronds can grow up to 20 inches long and about 2 inches wide along the length of the frond. Porphyra perforata grows in a circular shape up to 12 inches in diameter, with the frond anchored by a holdfast which originates near the middle of the frond. You may find these two species in the same area or you may find only one type when you go out to harvest. Porphyra torta is the “earlier” or winter black seaweed, and is common around Ketchikan, Klawock, Craig, Sitka, and other areas.

  • Marsh Samphire - Salicornia Europaea
    Marsh Samphire - Salicornia europaea Marsh Samphire emerges from the mud of the salt marsh in summer. Bright green shoots, cut them with scissors when still very young and tender, just a few inches high, taking care not to uproot the plant. Boil them but not for long; they're best eaten almost raw. Some recommend standing it upright in a pot with just a little boiling water so it cooks in its own steam. It is very rich in oils, particularly the polyunsaturated linoleic acid, and is high in vitamins and minerals. The Salicornia genus belongs to the same family, Amaranthaceae, as beetroot and spinach. They are variable and S europaea may best be described as an aggregate, the British natives comprising about half a dozen annual species: Salicornia dolichostachya Long-spiked Glasswort Salicornia europaea Common Glasswort Salicornia fragilis Yellow Glasswort Salicornia procumbens Yellow Glasswort Salicornia nitens Shiny Glasswort Salicornia obscura Glaucous Glasswort Salicornia ramosissima Purple Glasswort The closely related Perennial Glasswort, Sarcocoria perennis, has creeping woody stems and tends to occur on the upper, firmer parts of the saltmarsh. Samphire is high in sodium carbonate and the alternative name, Glasswort, comes from its Salicornis europaea Prof. Dr. Otto Wilhelm Thomé ''Flora von Deutschland, Österreich ancient use in the glass industry. Burning the und der Schweiz'' 1885 plant released the sodium more easily than from common salt until, in 1806, the introduction of Leblanc's process of obtaining soda from sodium chloride. Samphire was gathered and burned in heaps and the ash fused with sand to make glass, or for better glass, the ash was leached with lime water to make a solution of caustic soda, evaporated and then added to the silica.

Soxhlet extraction of Salicornia europaea was performed using hexane and analyzed by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Alpha-tocopherol content was analysed by using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. The elemental analysis was investigated by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The crystallographic texture and composition of powder samples were determined by X-ray diff raction. The minimum inhibition concentrations and inhibition zones extracts of Salicornia europaea were performed by spectrophotometric broth microdilution and disc diff usion methods, respectively, against 4 bacteria (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus) and 2 fungi (Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis). Alpha-tocopherol quantity and oil content of Salicornia europaea were found to be 2.1±0.3 mg/100 g and 15.15 %, respectively. The detected minerals were also found as sodium 447, magnesium 51.98, K 45.86, Ca 14.27 ppm. The highest minimum inhibition concentration was 0.9 mg/ml against Escherichia coli in methanol extract (p˂0.05). The highest mean inhibition zones diameter was 3.8 mm for methanol extracts against Bacillus subtilis (p˂0.05).

Après quelques recherches bibliographiques nous pûmes constater qu'il restait des lacunes considérables à élucider dans l'histoire naturelle de ces plantés. Les Salicornes ont une morphologie et un genre de vie si spéciaux qu'à moins de les étudier sur place, à l'état vivant, on ne peut différencier les caractères des espèces, ni les décrire avec précision.
