La Escuela de Ingeniería Agronómica ya es conocida en el mundo entero a través de su Revista. En este número se publicaron 26 artículos de diferentes países y diferentes estados de Venezuela y con 122 evaluadores ad hoc de númerosos países. Entre los autores se encuentra 14 de nuestra querida Universidad de Oriente, la cual está en deuda con sus investigadores porque hasta la fecha no se ha convocado el Premio de Estimulo al Investigador (PEI) que tiene dos años de atraso. Sea por las razones que fuese, se deberían aunar esfuerzos para el llamado al mismo. Similar destino tiene el Programa de Promoción al Investigador (PPI) debido a que para el 2009 tampoco hubo convocatoria, el Gobierno Nacional esta en mora con los investigadores del país. Afortunadamente, estas adversidades no han impedido que los investigadores de la UDO y otras Universidades e Institutos prosigan con sus investigaciones y más importante aún, hayan decidido continuar publicando para dar a conocer los resultados de las mismas sin importar que está noble labor le sea o no remunerada económicamente en un futuro cercano.

These applications require the use of authentic plant materials. DNA barcoding is a molecular method for species identification, which helps in reliable authentication by using one or more DNA barcode marker. In this study, we have collected 44 accessions, representing 16 species of Hibiscus, distributed in the southern peninsular India, to evaluate the discriminatory power of the two core barcodes, rbcLa and matK together with the suggested additional regions, trnH -psbA and ITS2.

Contents Cultivated plants and their wild relatives 4 Dictionary of cultivated plants and their regions of diversity 92 Cultivated plants and their wild relatives 4 5 CEREALS AND OTHER STARCH PLANTS Wheat It is pointed out that the wild species of Triticum and rela­ted genera are found in arid areas; the greatest concentration of them is in the Soviet republics of Georgia and Armenia and these are regarded as their centre of origin. A table is given show- ing the geographical distribution of 20 species of Triticum, 3 diploid, 10 tetraploid and 7 hexaploid, six of the species are endemic in Georgia and Armenia: the diploid T. urarthu, the tetraploids T. timopheevi, T. palaeo-colchicum, T. chaldicum and T. carthlicum and the hexaploid T. macha, Transcaucasia is also considered to be the place of origin of T. vulgare. The 20 species are described in turn; they comprise 4 wild species, T. aegilopoides, T. urarthu (2n = 14), T. dicoccoides and T. chaldicum (2n = 28) and 16 cultivated species. A number of synonyms are indicated for most of the species.

We have had a very pronounced wet season here on the coast with extended cool, overcast days. Mealy bug has been prevalent on Hibiscus and I try and leave control to the ladybirds. The metallic flea beetle is another pest of native Hibiscus in particular, eating holes in the leaves. Spraying controls them for about? weeks but unfortunately the ladybirds go for a much longer period and the ants farm the mealy bug in gay abandon. It was hoped to research information on the Australian genus Alyogyne, but feel that the information I have is insufficient as yet to do justice to this exercise. It is hard to add to or improve uponthe great article in "Australian Plants" June,2002 Vol. 21, No 171 titled'Alyogyne - An Update' as presented by Colleen Keena.

  • Bibliografía Botánica Del Caribe I
    Consolidated bibliography Introduction To facilitate the search through the bibliographies prepared by T. Zanoni (Bibliographía botánica del Caribe, Bibliografía de la flora y de la vegetatíon de la isla Española, and the Bibliography of Carribean Botany series currently published in the Flora of Greater Antilles Newsletter), the html versions of these files have been put together in a single pdf file. The reader should note the coverage of each bibliography: Hispaniola is exhaustively covered by all three bibliographies (from the origin up to now) while other areas of the Carribean are specifically treated only since 1984. Please note that this pdf document is made from multiple documents, this means that search function is called by SHIFT+CTRL+F (rather than by CTRL+F). Please let me know of any problem. M.

    Preventing Establishment: An Inventory of Introduced Plants in Puerto Villamil, Isabela Island, Galapagos Anne Gue´zou1, Paola Pozo1, Christopher Buddenhagen1,2* 1 Charles Darwin Research Station, Puerto Ayora, Galapagos, Ecuador, 2 Pacific Cooperative Studies Unit, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawai, United States of America As part of an island-wide project to identify and eradicate potentially invasive plant species before they become established, a program of inventories is being carried out in the urban and agricultural zones of the four inhabited islands in Galapagos. This study reports the results of the inventory from Puerto Villamil, a coastal village representing the urban zone of Isabela Island. We visited all 1193 village properties to record the presence of the introduced plants. In addition, information was collected from half of the properties to determine evidence for potential invasiveness of the plant species. We recorded 261 vascular taxa, 13 of which were new records for Galapagos. Most of the species were intentionally grown (cultivated) (73.3%) and used principally as ornamentals. The most frequent taxa we encountered were Cocos nucifera (coconut tree) (22.1%) as a cultivated plant and Paspalum vaginatum (salt water couch) (13.2%) as a non cultivated plant. In addition 39 taxa were naturalized. On the basis of the invasiveness study, we recommend five species for eradication (Abutilon dianthum, Datura inoxia, Datura metel, Senna alata and Solanum capsicoides), one species for hybridization studies (Opuntia ficus-indica) and three species for control (Furcraea hexapetala, Leucaena leucocephala and Paspalum vaginatum).

ABSTRACT Fruit morphology of the tribe Malveae has been discussed since the first taxonomic classifications of Malvaceae. The fruits are schizocarps, with some genera possessing an endoglossum. Besides morphological variation in the endoglossum, other differences include the number seeds per locule and ornamentation of the exocarp. An in-depth study of the fruit morphology of Malveae is essential to gain insight into the relationships among taxa of the tribe. Therefore, the present study aimed to describe the fruit morphology of Malveae, including micromorphology, variation in endoglossum structure and arrangement of seeds in the locule, to comprehensively evaluate the systematic relationships among its contained taxa. The results indicate morphological variation in fruit of various genera with regard to the number of mericarps, degree of dehiscence, relationship between calyx and fruit and their relative sizes, number and morphology of spines, number of seeds per locule, presence or absence of an endoglossum, presence and types of trichomes in exocarp and endocarp, and shape and presence of trichomes in the testa of seeds. Despite the morphological proximity of taxa, there are distinct combinations of characters that define some genera, and when one or more characters overlap, joint analysis makes it possible to clarify existing relationships. Keywords: endoglossum, mericarps, pericarp, schizocarp, seeds have schizocarp fruits.
