Plants Toxic to Rabbits Toxic plants page 1 of 26 FEEDING RABBITS TTooxxiiicc pplllaannttss Camilla Bergstrøm Picking plants in the wild, and bringing them home for your rabbit to eat, can be a wonderful thing. It’s fun and rewarding for you, and makes a varied and wonderful addition to your rabbit’s diet. However, there are some plants that can be harmful, and even fatal if consumed. This list includes plants that are toxic in one way or another. Just because a plant is not listed here does not mean it can’t be toxic. Please don’t feed your rabbit plants you are not absolutely sure are safe. Don’t trust your rabbit to decide for itself which plants are harmful. In this list, plants marked in red are considered highly toxic and may be fatal. Other plants can be mildly toxic and may cause local irritations of the skin and mucus membranes, or affect the digestive tract or nervous system. The list also includes a few common garden and indoor plants. African Milk Tree Euphorbia trigona Alder Buckthorn Frangula alnus/Rhamnus Bark and unripe fruits are frangula toxic Aloe Vera Aloe barbadensis Plant juices are toxic.

  • Appendix Color Plates of Solanales Species
    Appendix Color Plates of Solanales Species The first half of the color plates (Plates 1–8) shows a selection of phytochemically prominent solanaceous species, the second half (Plates 9–16) a selection of convol- vulaceous counterparts. The scientific name of the species in bold (for authorities see text and tables) may be followed (in brackets) by a frequently used though invalid synonym and/or a common name if existent. The next information refers to the habitus, origin/natural distribution, and – if applicable – cultivation. If more than one photograph is shown for a certain species there will be explanations for each of them. Finally, section numbers of the phytochemical Chapters 3–8 are given, where the respective species are discussed. The individually combined occurrence of sec- ondary metabolites from different structural classes characterizes every species. However, it has to be remembered that a small number of citations does not neces- sarily indicate a poorer secondary metabolism in a respective species compared with others; this may just be due to less studies being carried out.

Bag 1, Glen Osmond, South Australia 5064 Abstract Nicandra, of which there is only one species, N. physalodes (L.) Gaertn., is a native of Peru and has become naturalized in many tropical and temperate regions of the world. In Australia it is a weedy species occurring mainly in cleared or disturbed sites and on cultivated ground, mostly in the eastern coastal region. A description of the species based on Australian material is presented and its distribution in Australia is mapped. Introduction Nicandra physalodes, the only species in the genus (family Solanaceae) and nativeto Peru, has become a well-established member of the Australian flora. It has been cultivatedas an ornamental garden plant in Australia and elsewhere, and is now widely dispersed in tropical and temperate areas. N. physalodes has been suspected of poisoning stock, but feeding experiments in New South Wales in which thegreen berries and the plant were tested on sheep and a goat gave negative results (Hurst, 1942).

    July 2014 Potato Update Issue 3 Non-crop host plants of tomato potato psyllid in New Zealand What is a host plant? A host plant is a plant on which TPP completes its full lifecycle from egg through to adult. Key points What crops are host plants of TPP? • Tomato potato psyllid (TPP) Crops belonging to the Solanaceae and Convolvulaceae family, which can complete its lifecycle includes potatoes, tomatoes, capsicums, chilli peppers, goji berries, on a number of crop and tamarillos, eggplant, tobacco, kumara/sweet potato and taewa/Māori non-crop plants. potatoes. • Some non-crop host plants can provide a host for TPP all year round even in frost Why do you need to be aware of non-crop host prone areas. plants of TPP? Some of the species described below such as African boxthorn, Jerusalem cherry and Poroporo have all life stages of TPP on them all year round. This is the case for all of New Zealand, even frosty areas. This means that whether you have a crop in the ground or have harvested your crop and it is the middle of winter, TPP are potentially surviving and breeding on non-crop plants in or near your crop. Non-crop host plants in New Zealand Following is a list of the most important host plants that may be present around your potato crop. Common name: African boxthorn Botanical name: Lycium ferocissimum Description: Evergreen perennial. Chinese boxthorn is similar but is deciduous.

  • Natural Dyeing Plants As a Source of Compounds Protecting Against UV Radiation
    Natural dyeing plants as a source of compounds protecting against UV radiation Katarzyna SCHMIDT-PRZEWOŹNA*, Małgorzata Zimniewska Institute of Natural Fibres and Medicinal Plants Wojska Polskiego 71b 60-630 Poznań *corresponding author: [email protected] Summary The Institute of Natural Fibres and Medicinal Plants has been carrying out a complex re- search related to application of natural dyes on fabrics. Colors of nature, obtained from various plants, have contributed to creating a collection of clothes produced from linen fabrics. The UV radiation can cause earlier skin ageing, burns and even skin cancer. The increasing hazard posed by UV radiation due to thinning of the ozone layer forces the tex- tile producers to pay attention to providing textile products with barrier properties that would guarantee the protection against harmful UV radiation. The results of the studies proved that many fabrics dyed with dyeing plants using the original method developed at INF&MP are characterized with good or very good protection factors. Fengurek Trigo- nella foenum-graecum, coreopsis Coreopsis tinctoria L., knotgrass Polygonum aviculare L., India madder Rubia cordifolia L. the are represent group of plants with excellent UV properties. Key words: natural dyestuffs, dyeing plants, Uv radiation, ecology, colors INTRODuCTION During last eleven years the research program on natural dyestuffs has been carried out in the Institute of Natural Fibres and Medicinal Plants in Poznań. The research has been based on historical sources and laboratory trials. Approximate- ly 50 dyestuffs of plant origin have been tested in this period for possible applica- tion in natural raw materials. The project is carried out by Laboratory of Natural Dyeing INF&MP with cooperation with herbal companies and botanical gardens.

A phylogeny of Solanaceae is presented based on the chloroplast DNA regions ndhF and trnLF. With 89 genera and 190 species included, this represents a nearly comprehensive genus-level sampling and provides a framework phylogeny for the entire family that helps integrate many previously-published phylogenetic studies within So- lanaceae. The four genera comprising the family Goetzeaceae and the monotypic families Duckeodendraceae, Nolanaceae, and Sclerophylaceae, often recognized in traditional classifications, are shown to be included in Solanaceae. The current results corroborate previous studies that identify a monophyletic subfamily Solanoideae and the more inclusive “x = 12” clade, which includes Nicotiana and the Australian tribe Anthocercideae. These results also provide greater resolution among lineages within Solanoideae, confirming Jaltomata as sister to Solanum and identifying a clade comprised primarily of tribes Capsiceae (Capsicum and Lycianthes) and Physaleae.

  • Anatomical Characteristics of Two Ornithogalum L. (Hyacinthaceae) Taxa from Serbia and Hungary and Their Taxonomic Implication

(Hyacinthaceae) taxa from Serbia and Hungary and their taxonomic implication Andrijana M. Andrić*, Milica M. Rat, Lana N. Zorić, Jadranka Ž. Luković Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Science, University of Novi Sad, Trg Dositeja Obradovića 2, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia Abstract – Anatomical characters of two morphologically similar Ornithogalum taxa, O. umbellatum and O. divergens, were investigated. An analysis of leaf and scapus cross-sections was performed on plants from ten populations from Serbia and Hungary, using light microscopy. The aim of this research was to give data about the qualitative and quantitative anatomical characteristics of these taxa, in order to evaluate their taxonomic signifi cance and single out distinctive anatomical features, as well as to contribute to the knowledge of the genus Ornithogalum in the studied region. On the basis of the variability of anatomical characters, similar populations formed two clusters, joining the plants previously determined as O. divergens and O. umbella- tum. The two taxa signifi cantly differed for most of the quantitative leaf and scapus characters. Since only quantitative differences were recorded in this research, anatomical characters could not be solely used to separate these two taxa. However, the results of anatomical investigations are consistent with the results of previous morphological and genetic analyses; therefore anatomical parameters could be useful as additional taxonomic characters. Key words: anatomy, leaf, Ornithogalum, scapus Introduction being grown as cut fl ower or potted plant crops, while some are poisonous to livestock and considered weeds (Ober- Genus Ornithogalum L.

Received: 1 June 2018; Accepted: 29 June 2018; Published: 3 July 2018 Abstract: The family Fabaceae traditionally serves as a food and herbal remedies source. Certain plants serve for treatment of menopausal symptoms based on a presence of typical secondary metabolites, isoflavones. Beside soybean and clovers, other plants or cultures in vitro can produce these molecules. A cultivation in vitro can be enhanced by elicitation that stimulates metabolites biosynthesis via stress reaction. Vanadium compounds have been already described as potential elicitors, and the aim of this study was to determine the impact of NH4VO3 and VOSO4 solutions on isoflavones production in Genista tinctoria L. cell cultures. The significant increase of isoflavones content, such as genistin, genistein, or formononetin, was measured in a nutrient medium or dry mass after NH4VO3 treatment for 24 or 48 h.
