(2015). Homogenous genetic structure in populations of Taxus baccata with varied proportions of male and female individuals. Silva Fennica vol. 49 no. 4 article id 1236. 14 p. Highlights • Polish populations of Taxus baccata showed a high level of genetic diversity within popula- tions and moderate genetic differentiation between them after nSSR marker testing. • No significant differences in the genetic variation between T. baccata male and female indi- viduals were observed, and microsatellite loci neutrality was verified. • Determining the sex ratio in T. baccata populations is not essential to develop a clear under- standing of genetic differentiation and diversity within and between populations of this species. Abstract English yew (Taxus baccata L.) is a strictly outcrossing and dioecious species whose popula- tions are small and isolated. It is known that sex ratios may vary in natural populations due to local environmental conditions or stochastic events. However, unbalanced sex ratios may have negative impacts on genetic diversity through enhanced genetic drift and inbreeding. The present study represents one of the first attempts to compare the genetic variation at microsatellite loci within and between populations with different gender proportions.

Lot sizes, shade, wind and other factors place size and growth constraints on plants, especially trees, which are suitable for addition to existing landscapes. Other plant materials may be considered that have these characteristics and similar maintenance requirements. Additional species and varieties may be selected if authorized by the Issaquah Highlands Architectural Review Committee. This list is not exhaustive but does cover most of the “good doers” for Issaquah Highlands. Our microclimate is colder and harsher than those closer to Puget Sound.

  • Assessment of Bark Reaction of Select Tree Species As an Indicator of Acid Gaseous Pollution
    Polish J. of Environ. Stud. Vol. 20, No. 3 (2011), 619-622 Original Research Assessment of Bark Reaction of Select Tree Species as an Indicator of Acid Gaseous Pollution Karolina Steindor*, Bernard Palowski, Paweł Góras, Aleksandra Nadgórska-Socha Department of Ecology, University of Silesia, Bankowa 9, 40-007 Katowice, Poland Received: 19 July 2010 Accepted: 6 December 2010 Abstract pH values of the bark of the common tree species black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus L.), European yew (Taxus baccata L.), and European ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) were evaluated to determine the acid gaseous pollution impact on their bark in eight heavily industrialized cities of southern Poland and relatively unpolluted areas of the Beskidy Mountains, Częstochowa Upland, and Nida Basin. It has been stated that the correlation between SO2 levels in the atmosphere and the reaction of tree bark exists in all investigated tree species. Hence, the reaction of the bark of these species could be used as a simple indicator of air pollution. The results suggest that the European ash bark could be the best bioindi- cator. Keywords: bark pH, SO2 pollution, biomonitoring Introduction The aim of this research was to determine whether the bark of four tree species is suitable for biomonitoring of Gaseous pollution of the atmosphere, harmful for forest acid gaseous air pollution. The pH of the bark of black ecosystems, requires monitoring systems. There is a need to locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), sycamore maple (Acer find methods that allow determining the condition of the pseudoplatanus L.), European yew (Taxus baccata L.), and environment in a given area in an easy and inexpensive way.

  • The Art of Horticulture II: the Use of Plants in and As Art Hort 203
    The Art of Horticulture II: The Use of Plants in and as Art Hort 203 Instructor: Marcia Eames-Sheavly 169 Plant Science Building 607-255-1781 [email protected] Horton Lab, Ken Post Labs Time: Tuesdays, 1:25 – 4:25 p.m. Course website: hort.cornell.edu/art 2 credits Code of Academic Integrity: You should be familiar with Cornell’s Code which may be found at http://cuinfo.cornell.edu/Academic/AIC.html. You are responsible for knowing and complying with the code. Office hours Tuesdays, 8:30 – 11:30, by appointment, in 15B Plant Science Other times as arranged. I am not in the office Wednesdays. Rationale As part of a Hort 201-203 sequence, this experiential course will focus on plant materials that are used to create art, or that are manipulated into pieces of art. It will acquaint students with a range of topics such as the use of plants in fibers and dyes, floral design, and living sculpture practices such as topiary, the woven branch, turfworks, tree sculpture and bonsai. Students will create a final project focused on these or related methods. Taking this course will also provide students with a unique chance to view science from a very different perspective. Creativity is the cornerstone of advancement in science. Exploring the relationship between art and science can foster an understanding of principles of design and presentation in living forms. Exploring the art of horticulture will help students view plant forms through a unique lens. Who should take the course? Given that we define horticulture as both the “art and science of growing plants,” the course would provide horticulture and plant science majors with a context for the aesthetic aspects of the discipline.

  • Terra Australis 30
    terra australis 30 Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and island Melanesia — lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present. Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for South-East Asia and blue for the Pacific Islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements. All volumes are numbered within the same series. List of volumes in Terra Australis Volume 1: Burrill Lake and Currarong: Coastal Sites in Southern New South Wales. R.J.

  • Espaliers1 Sydney Park Brown, Thomas H
    CIR627 Espaliers1 Sydney Park Brown, Thomas H. Yeager, and Robert J. Black2 espaliers are used mostly for decorative accents in the landscape. An espalier is a living sculpture in the garden and is especially effective against a blank wall as an alternative to a monotonous row of shrubs. An espalier is also a good choice for a narrow area where spreading shrubs or trees cannot be easily maintained. With landscape spaces becom- ing smaller around homes, an espaliered plant may have considerable appeal. From Ornamentals to Espaliers Almost any plant can be espaliered by continually directing growth along a flat plane and removing growth in unde- sired directions. Some plants are particularly suitable as Figure 1.
