This change of status nationally meant that Tasmania needed to risk assess this pest and determine if it required reclassification as a List A disease Regulated Quarantine Pest (RQP) and thus regulate for it. Whilst there have been a number of successful eradication programs in glasshouse / polyhouse tomatoes for PSTVd, establishment in field grown tomato crops in Carnarvon, Western Australia (including weeds), plus the distribution of infected potato vine via nursery supply chains means that the viroid is likely widespread. Further to this, the viroid is asymptomatic in potato vine and its other ornamental hosts meaning that its potential spread has gone unnoticed. A key issue is assessing the risk of movement from these ornamentals in established residential gardens to potato and tomato crops in Tasmania. A pest profile was conducted to determine the potential impact to Tasmanian agricultural industries and the potential pest status including inherent challenges in regulating. The resulting unrestricted risk estimate (URE) was ‘Low’ which does not meet Tasmania’s ALOP of ‘very low’ risk. Therefore

Cenchrus orientalis, Manihot grahamii, Melica chilensis and Panicum capillare subsp. hillmanii are probably reported for the first time from Spain, while Aloe ferox, Canna ×generalis, Cenchrus setaceus, Convolvulus farinosus, Ficus rubiginosa, Jarava plumosa, Koelreu- teria paniculata, Lycianthes rantonnetii, Nassella tenuissima, Paraserianthes lophantha, Plumbago auriculata, Podranea ricasoliana, Proboscidea louisianica, Sedum palmeri, Solanum bonariense, Tipuana tipu, Tradescantia pallida and Vitis ×ruggerii are reported for the first time from the province of Tarragona. Several of these are potential or genuine invasive species and/or agricultural weeds. Miscellane- ous additional records are presented for some further alien taxa with only few earlier records in the study area.

Who knew then that we were only months away from a global pandemic that would disrupt everything we thought of as normal, and that the ensuing shutdown would cause such increased interest in gardening? This past year has been a rollercoaster ride for all of us in the nursery and landscape trades. The demand for plants so exceeded the supply that it caused major plant availability shortages, and then the freeze in Texas further exacerbated this situation. To ensure that our customers came first, we did not sell any plants out-of-state, and we continue to work hard to refill the empty spaces left in our field. In the chaos of the situation, we also decided not to produce a 2020 catalog, and this current catalog is coming out so late that we intend it to be a two-year edition. Some items listed may not be available until early next year, so we encourage customers to look to our website Primelist which is updated weekly to view our current availability. As in the past, we continue to grow the many tried-and-true favorite plants that have proven themselves in our warming mediterranean climate. We have also added 245 exciting new plants that are listed in the back of this catalog. With sincere appreciation to all our customers, it is our hope that 2021 and 2022 will be excellent years for horticulture!

  • Evolutionary Routes to Biochemical Innovation Revealed by Integrative
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Evolutionary routes to biochemical innovation revealed by integrative analysis of a plant-defense related specialized metabolic pathway Gaurav D Moghe1†, Bryan J Leong1,2, Steven M Hurney1,3, A Daniel Jones1,3, Robert L Last1,2* 1Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, United States; 2Department of Plant Biology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, United States; 3Department of Chemistry, Michigan State University, East Lansing, United States Abstract The diversity of life on Earth is a result of continual innovations in molecular networks influencing morphology and physiology. Plant specialized metabolism produces hundreds of thousands of compounds, offering striking examples of these innovations. To understand how this novelty is generated, we investigated the evolution of the Solanaceae family-specific, trichome- localized acylsugar biosynthetic pathway using a combination of mass spectrometry, RNA-seq, enzyme assays, RNAi and phylogenomics in different non-model species. Our results reveal hundreds of acylsugars produced across the Solanaceae family and even within a single plant, built on simple sugar cores. The relatively short biosynthetic pathway experienced repeated cycles of *For correspondence: [email protected] innovation over the last 100 million years that include gene duplication and divergence, gene loss, evolution of substrate preference and promiscuity.

  • Scientific Opinion on the Assessment of the Risk of Solanaceous Pospiviroids for the EU Territory and the Identification and Evaluation of Risk Management Options1
    EFSA Journal 2011;9(8):2330 SCIENTIFIC OPINION Scientific Opinion on the assessment of the risk of solanaceous pospiviroids for the EU territory and the identification and evaluation of risk 1 management options EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLH)2, 3 European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Parma, Italy ABSTRACT Following a request from the EU Commission, the EFSA PLH Panel conducted a risk assessment for the EU territory of pospiviroids affecting solanaceous crops, identified and evaluated risk reduction options and evaluated the EU provisional emergency measures targeting Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd). The risk assessment included PSTVd, Citrus exocortis viroid, Columnea latent viroid, Mexican papita viroid, Tomato apical stunt viroid, Tomato chlorotic dwarf viroid, Tomato planta macho viroid, Chrysanthemum stunt viroid and Pepper chat fruit viroid. Four entry pathways were identified, three involving plant propagation material, with moderate probability of entry, and one involving plant products for human consumption, with low probability of entry. The probability of establishment was considered very high. Spread was considered likely within a crop and moderately likely between crop species, with exception of spread to potato, rated as unlikely. The probability of long distance spread within vegetatively propagated crops was estimated as likely/very likely. The direct consequences were expected to be major in potato and tomato, moderate in pepper, minimal/minor in other vegetables and minimal in ornamentals. Main risk assessment uncertainties derive from limited knowledge on pospiviroids other than PSTVd, although all pospiviroids are expected to have similar biological properties. Management options to reduce risk of entry, spread and consequences were identified and evaluated.

Among the factors of degradation that threaten this wall, we are particularly interested in the plant’s action growing over this monument. The objective was to start by establishing a list of plant species colonizing the wall, then to deduce the potential effects that vegetation can have on the substrate. We carried out a systematic sampling in Azemmour. After sampling and identifying the plants, we established a list of 58 species, belonging to 26 families and 49genera. ABSTRACT TheAsteraceae family is the most represented with 11 species, followed by Solanaceae with 6 species, Poaceae with 5 species and Amaranthaceae with 4 species.

    Botanische Bestimmungsübungen 1 Solanaceae Solanaceae (Nachtschattengewächse) 1 Systematik und Verbreitung Die Solanaceae gehören zu den Eudikotyledonen (Kerneudicotyledonen > Superasteriden > Asteriden > Lamiiden). Innerhalb dieser werden sie zur Ordnung der Solanales (Nachtschattenartige) gestellt. Sie umfassen ca. 90 Gattungen mit rund 2500 Arten. Über 50 % der rezenten Arten gehören dabei alleine zur Gattung Solanum (Nachtschatten). Die Solanaceae werden derzeit in 8 Unterfamilien unterteilt: 1. Schizanthoideae, 2. Goetzeoideae, 3. Duckeodendroideae, 4. Cestro- ideae, 5. Schwenckioideae, 6. Petunioideae, 7. Nicotinoideae und 8. Solanoideae. Dabei werden die Cestroideae in 3 Triben gegliedert, die Nicotinoideae in 2 und die Solanoideae in 10. Die Solanaceae sind kosmopolitisch mit einem Diversitätszentrum in Mittel- und Südamerika verbreitet. Alleine dort kommen ca. 40 Gattungen endemisch vor. Abb. 1: Verbreitungskarte. 2 Morphologie 2.1 Habitus Der Großteil sind ein- und mehrjährige Kräuter oder kletternde Lianen (z. B. Solanum jasminoides, Sommerjasmin). Wenige Arten sind Sträucher (z.
