  • Status of the Umbelliferae Ssp. in Russia
    Status of the Umbelliferae ssp. in Russia Tatiana Khmelinskaya Olga Zvereva Anna Artemyeva The collection status The formation of Russian Umbelliferae collection had begun in 1923 after N.I.Vavilov visit West-European countries, USA and Canada (1921- 1922), from the seed samples shipped by breeding companies of the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Austria. Russian resources were registered in VIR collection through All-Russian agricultural exhibition. The local landraces were collected during collection missions in Afghanistan, Iran, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Turkey, etc. In 1926 VIR scientists started to study the collection. From 1928 the new expeditions were arranged to Mediterranean countries, Ethiopia, and Western China by Vavilov, to India by Markovich, to Minor Asia of Zhukovskiy, etc. , and also collection had started to grow by exchange of material with different Institutes and companies. Now VIR Genebank contains genetic resources of different status from more than 90 countries, includes wild species, landraces, old and advanced cultivars, hybrids F1, breeding materials . Umbelliferae collections are divided into two parts: constant (base) catalogue and temporary catalogue. The constant catalogue includes landraces and breeding cultivars with sufficient quantity of seeds in accession. All accessions of constant catalogue are documented for computerized passport data. The temporary catalogue includes the hybrids F1, breeding materials and the samples with insufficient quantity of seeds. These latter cultivars need to

Pereira1 · Ricardo Malheiro1 · Nuno Rodrigues1 · Jorge A. Saraiva3 · Elsa Ramalhosa1 Received: 27 June 2018 / Accepted: 28 October 2018 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The aim of the present work was to study the main volatile and bioactive compounds (monomeric anthocyanins, hydrolys- able tannins, total flavonoids, and total reducing capacity) of five edible flowers: borage (Borage officinalis), calendula (Calendula arvensis), cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus), Johnny Jump up (Viola tricolor), and pansies (Viola × wittrockiana), together with their sensory attributes. The sensory analysis (10 panelists) indicated different floral, fruity, and herbal odors and taste. From a total of 117 volatile compounds (SPME–GC–MS), esters were most abundant in borage, sesquiterpenes in calendula, and terpenes in cosmos, Johnny Jump up, and pansies. Some bioactive and volatile compounds influence the sensory perception. For example, the highest content of total monomeric anthocyanins (cosmos and pansies) was associ- ated with the highest scores of colors intensity, while the floral and green fragrances detected in borage may be due to the presence of ethyl octanoate and 1-hexanol. Therefore, the presence of some volatiles and bioactive compounds affects the sensory perception of the flowers. Keywords Edible flowers · Volatile compounds · Sensory analysis · Bioactive compounds Introduction and fragrances of flowers are analyzed through their vola- tile essential oils [1]. Currently, there are some studies that Edible flowers are becoming more popular in recent years have applied solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method to due to the interest of consumers and professional chefs.

  • Cool Weather Herbs
    www.natureswayresources.com COOL WEATHER HERBS by Susan Gail Wood Herb Society of America/South Texas Unit Plant now in our herb gardens: dill, cilantro, nasturtiums and fennel. I enjoy growing lots of herbs year round to use for fragrance, cooking and beautiful bouquets. My favorite herbs to plant in the fall garden are: cilantro, nasturtiums, borage, fennel and dill. * Harvest basil before it blooms for best flavor. This means taking cuttings several times during the warm growing season to keep blossoms at bay. * Fresh CILANTRO can be used in place of basil for a delightful pesto. Late October and during November are perfect times to start cilantro from seed or plants in your garden. Cilantro has leaves that resemble flat leaf parsley until the plant is ready to flower. Start harvesting beforethe second, thinner set of leaves appear. This is a sign the herb is about to bloom, set seed and die back as is typical of annuals. Cilantro will bolt once the weather warms up next spring. Leave ripe 1 www.natureswayresources.com seed on the plant to fall back in the garden and this herb will be your best volunteer next fall. All the above mentioned favorites will withstand a freeze except for nasturtiums. Water and mulch all your herbs before a hard freeze and cover the nasturtiums. If they don't survive you can always plant more when the danger of frost passes next March. I lovethe cheery flowers they produce which are edible as well as the peppery leaves. * BORAGE is my favorite herb that you might not be growing, but should.

  • Index Seminum 2015 List of Seeds for Exchange
    Index Seminum 2015 List of seeds for exchange Glasgow Botanic Gardens 730 Great Western Road Glasgow, G12 OUE Scotland, United Kingdom History of Glasgow Botanic Gardens The Botanic Gardens were founded on an 8-acre site at the West End of Sauchiehall Street at Sandyford in 1817. This was through the initiative of Thomas Hopkirk of Dalbeth who gave his own plant collection to form the nucleus of the new garden. It was run by the Royal Botanical Institution of Glasgow and an agreement was reached with Glasgow University to provide facilities for teaching, including supply of plants for botanical and medical classes. Professor William J. Hooker, Regius Professor of Botany at the University of Glasgow (1820-41), took an active part in the development of the Gardens, which became well known in botanical circles throughout the world. The early success led to expansion and the purchase of the present site, at Kelvinside, in 1842. At the time entry was mainly restricted to members of the Royal Botanical Institution and their friends although later the public were admitted on selected days for the princely sum of one penny. The Kibble Palace which houses the national tree fern collection was originally a private conservatory located at Coulport by Loch Long. It was moved to its present site in 1873 and originally used as a concert venue and meeting place, hosting speakers such as Prime Ministers Disraeli and Gladstone. Increasing financial difficulties led to the Gardens being taken over by the then Glasgow Corporation in 1891 on condition they continued as a Botanic Garden and maintained links with the University.

The genus Sideritis (Labiatae) is of great botanical and Materials and Methods: Essential oils were obtained by pharmacological interest, in fact many species are reported hydrodistillation and were analysed by gas chromatography to have analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, (GC) and GC/mass spectrometry (MS). The cytotoxic activity antirheumatic, anti-ulcer, digestive and vaso-protective was evaluated in amelanotic melanoma C32, renal cell properties and have been used in Mediterranean folk adenocarcinoma ACHN, hormone-dependent prostate medicine (11).
