CDOT Roadway Plant List CCHICAGOHICAGO DDEPARTMENTEPARTMENT OOFF TTRANSPORTATIONRANSPORTATION Rahm Emanuel, Mayor Rebekah Scheinfeld, Commissioner RROADWAYOADWAY PPLANTLANT LLISTIST CCOMPILEDOMPILED BBYY DIVISIONDIVISION OFOF ENGINEERINGENGINEERING 88THTH EDITIONEDITION CHICAGO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ROADWAY PLANT LIST The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) Division of Engineering is pleased to present the newest edition of the City of Chicago’s Roadway Plant List, intended as a resource for landscape architects. CDOT has evaluated the plants on this list based on its years of experience maintaining medians and other roadside locations. The accompanying comments are based on the plants’ ability to withstand salt spray and other urban roadway conditions. Although no scientifi c trials were conducted, installation and maintenance of the plant material have been done in accordance with standard CDOT specifi cations. As a result, cultural conditions such as soil structure, composition and moisture are known factors. CDOT’s list highlights plant materials in order of consideration. Dark gray rows indicate plants that are not recommended. Light gray rows include plant materials that are currently under evaluation or have not yet been used. It also indicates plant selections which survive in the roadway but have attributes which negatively affect the plant’s performance in a municipal application. Although the “concerns” are independent of CDOT’s assessment of the plants’ sustenance in the roadway, CDOT expects selections to consist of plants that both survive on medians and have no additional concerns. We hope this guide proves a valuable tool for industry professionals. For more information, please contact CDOT’s Division of Engineering at (312) 744-3520.

  • January 2019 ---International Rock Gardener
    International Rock Gardener ISSN 2053-7557 Number 109 The Scottish Rock Garden Club January 2019 ---International Rock Gardener--- January 2019 Our first article this month, about a Scottish garden, is republished with agreement from the journal „Folium Alpinum‟ of our sister society, the Dutch Rock Garden Club (NRV). Jānis Rukšāns takes us to Berkara Gorge in the Karatau Mountain Ridge of Kazakhstan to describe a tulipa species. Martin Hajman reviews a new book on the Tian Shan and we finish with a look at a gem of the Cyclamen genus, originally written by Václav Jošt for „Skalničky‟, the Czech rock garden journal. Cover photo: Candelabra primulas in Sue Simpson‟s garden. ---Alpine Allure--- Sue Simpson who lives in south-west Scotland, explains her fascination with extending her love of gardening to exhibiting plants at alpine plant shows in the UK. Sue and her husband George Watt have made an extraordinary garden in just a few years – and their dedication to having their potted plants be every bit as well-looked after as their garden is remarkable – and pays off well, as readers will learn! ALPINE ADDICTION: text Sue Simpson, photos Sue Simpson and George Watt My fascination with alpines goes back about 20 years when a friend, now my husband, took me to a Scottish Rock Garden Club Show. I was captivated by the beautifully grown plants on the benches and there were nursery folk on hand, willing to sell me some of these jewels! Fast on the heels of the show I was treated to a visit to Jim Sutherland‟s family run alpine nursery - Ardfearn, near Inverness - rows and rows of neat little alpines in their pots were laid out before me – absolute heaven, much better than clothes shopping, although I am sure not all women would agree with me! I spent a fortune and we came away with trays of pots! At that time I lived in Peebles in south east Scotland where the weather is cold and on the whole much drier than in the west where we live now.

I had to negotiate with the rapacious taxi drivers to take us to the Otrar hotel was booked ready for us, and Julia from the local agents office, phoned soon after to let us know the day’s plan. This allowed us two hours rest before breakfast. At 10am Julia introduced us to Anna and Yerken and we drove with driver Yerlan two hours (80km) north out of town to Lake Kapchagai by the dam on the Ili River. Starting from the rather dilapidated industrial scene and negotiating a crossing of the main road with two imposing policeman we started on the west side of the road. Almost immediately we saw Tulipa kolpakowskiana in flower and our first Ixiolirion tartaricum. Further up the bank we found wonderful specimens of Tulipa albertii, although many flowers had already gone over as spring apparently was unusually advanced. Our tally of Tulips was increased by Tulipa buhsiana but not in flower.

  • Tulipa Kaufmanniana Regel.) Propagation Under Ex Situ Conditions ISSN 2447-536X |
    THE APPLICATION OF DIFFERENT REPRODUCTION TECHNIQUES FOR RARE SPECIES WATERLILY TULIP 450 Ornamental (HorticultureTULIPA KAUFMANNIANA REGEL.) PROPAGATION UNDER EX SITU CONDITIONS ISSN 2447-536X | HTTPS://ORNAMENTALHORTICULTURE.EMNUVENS.COM.BR/RBHO SCIENTIFIC ARTICLE The application of different reproduction techniques for rare species waterlily tulip (Tulipa kaufmanniana Regel.) propagation under ex situ conditions Nabieva Alexandra Yurievna1*, Gerasimovich Lyudmila Vladimirovna2 Abstract T. kaufmanniana is a threatened and endemic species of the Tien Shan Mountains with a complex of valuable ornamental features. However, the commercial usage of the plant is limited due to the restricted availability of the bulbs in nature, difficulties in overcoming seed dormancy and low efficiency of the species reproduction. Results of the investigation of the reproductive biology of this species in the culture conditions allowed us to characterize T. kaufmanniana as viable with successful seedage. In the work reported here the effect of low temperature on the proper development of embryos is addressed, and an attempt is made to clarify the effect of cytokinins (TDZ, BAP) and auxin (NAA) on the regeneration capacity of isolated T. kaufmanniana embryos for the adventitious shoots and bulblets formation. Direct shoot organogenesis was induced by the combined action of chilling and BAP or TDZ treatment. Among the variants tested, TDZ promoted the formation of adventitious bulbs in 48 % of the chilled embryos, compared to non-chilled embryos (0.0%) and embryos exposed to the same concentration of BAP (39%). The best culture condition for T. kaufmanniana embryos growth and bulblets formation consisted of chilling for 10 wk in the dark at 4 °C, 4 wk at 20 °C under 16 h light photoperiod and 10 wk at 4 °C in the dark.

In addition, the medical uses of these plants were compiled from the literature. Study area was located on the East of Anatolian diagonal, in the Eastern Anatolia region. Field study was carried out over a period of approximately two years (2008-2010). During this period, 84 vascular plant taxa were collected. The plants were pressed in the field and prepared for identification. A total of 84 food plants belonging to 30 families were identified in the region. In the study being conducted, use of wild plants as food points out interest of people in Geçitli in wild plants. The fact that a large proportion of edible plants are also being used for medicinal purposes indicates that the use of wild plants has a high potential in the region. The present study shows that further ethnobotanical investigations are worthy to be carried out in Turkey, where most of knowledge on popular food plants are still to discover.

Email: [email protected] Talks to garden clubs and societies. ‘Alliums Of All Shapes & Sizes’ Last year I covered a number of fabulous Alliums that you plant and enjoy in your garden, however as there are so many excellent varieties to choose from, I have decided to look at some more - particularly as May & June is when the vast majority of them burst into flower. The main displays of spring flowering bulbs, including narcissi and most tulips, are just coming to an end in May. The Alliums fulfil a valuable task, bridging the gap between Spring & Summer before many of our herbaceous plants come into their prime. There are a vast array of wild Alliums in existence coming from areas such as Asia, North America and Europe – in fact the wild species number over 700 and with all the hybrids that have been bred over the years the choice is now literally thousands.

  • Synthesis of Cysteine Sulfoxides and Related Compounds Occurring in Wild Onions
    Synthesis of cysteine sulfoxides and related compounds occurring in wild onions Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) dem Fachbereich Pharmazie der Philipps-Universität Marburg vorgelegt von Mohammad Sadegh Feizabad aus Teheran / Iran Marburg/Lahn, 2019 i Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Michael Keusgen Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Frank Runkel Tag der Einreichung Promotion: 24.04.2019 Tag der mündlichen Promotion: 24.06.2019 ii Dedicated to my beloved parents and wife for their precious supports and gentle, who have inspired me and been the driving force throughout my life. iii Foreword The majority of the genus Allium species are known for their medicinal applications: for example, A. stipitatum shows antibiotic effects against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and some other Allium species exhibit antistaphylococcal effects. Furthermore, recent studies have provided evidence of various antifungal, antidiabetic, and anticancer effects of some Allium species. Allium is also well known in traditional medicine for its ability to cure various ailments such as wounds or acute and chronic bronchitis; additionally, alliums can be used as expectorants due to the presence of cysteine sulfoxide and its derivatives. Cysteine sulfoxides, which are some of the basic secondary compounds in Allium, have been addressed in various studies. Alliin, propiin, methin, marasmin, and thiosulfinate, all of which are alliinase substrates, are of particular interest because of their pharmaceutical effects. The enzymatic reaction that occurs during the formation of disulfides or thiosufinates results in various compounds that differ chemically, physically, and pharmaceutically.The cysteine sulfoxide recently investigated in A. giganteum, A. rarolininanum, A. rosenorum, and A. macleani species is the S-(pyrrolyl)cysteine S-oxide.
