  • "National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary."
    Intro 1996 National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands The Fish and Wildlife Service has prepared a National List of Vascular Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1996 National Summary (1996 National List). The 1996 National List is a draft revision of the National List of Plant Species That Occur in Wetlands: 1988 National Summary (Reed 1988) (1988 National List). The 1996 National List is provided to encourage additional public review and comments on the draft regional wetland indicator assignments. The 1996 National List reflects a significant amount of new information that has become available since 1988 on the wetland affinity of vascular plants. This new information has resulted from the extensive use of the 1988 National List in the field by individuals involved in wetland and other resource inventories, wetland identification and delineation, and wetland research. Interim Regional Interagency Review Panel (Regional Panel) changes in indicator status as well as additions and deletions to the 1988 National List were documented in Regional supplements. The National List was originally developed as an appendix to the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al.1979) to aid in the consistent application of this classification system for wetlands in the field.. The 1996 National List also was developed to aid in determining the presence of hydrophytic vegetation in the Clean Water Act Section 404 wetland regulatory program and in the implementation of the swampbuster provisions of the Food Security Act. While not required by law or regulation, the Fish and Wildlife Service is making the 1996 National List available for review and comment.

  • Camelina Sativa, a Montana Omega-3 and Fuel Crop* Alice L
    Reprinted from: Issues in new crops and new uses. 2007. J. Janick and A. Whipkey (eds.). ASHS Press, Alexandria, VA. Camelina sativa, A Montana Omega-3 and Fuel Crop* Alice L. Pilgeram, David C. Sands, Darrin Boss, Nick Dale, David Wichman, Peggy Lamb, Chaofu Lu, Rick Barrows, Mathew Kirkpatrick, Brian Thompson, and Duane L. Johnson Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz, (Brassicaceae), commonly known as false flax, leindotter and gold of pleasure, is a fall or spring planted annual oilcrop species (Putman et al. 1993). This versatile crop has been cultivated in Europe since the Bronze Age. Camelina seed was found in the stomach of Tollund man, a 4th century BCE mummy recovered from a peat bog in Denmark (Glob 1969). Anthropologists postulate that the man’s last meal had been a soup made from vegetables and seeds including barley, linseed, camelina, knotweed, bristle grass, and chamomile. The Romans used camelina oil as massage oil, lamp fuel, and cooking oil, as well as the meal for food or feed. Camelina, like many Brassicaceae, germinates and emerges in the early spring, well before most cereal grains. Early emergence has several advantages for dryland production including efficient utiliza- tion of spring moisture and competitiveness with common weeds. In response to the resurgent interest in oil crops for sustainable biofuel production, the Montana State Uni- versity (MSU) Agricultural Research Centers have conducted a multi-year, multi-specie oilseed trial. This trial included nine different oilseed crops (sunflower, safflower, soybean, rapeseed, mustard, flax, crambe, canola, and camelina). Camelina sativa emerged from this trial as a promising oilseed crop for production across Montana and the Northern Great Plains.

A FEW words of explanation as to the object and scope of this Index may fitly appear as an introduction to the work. It is intended mainly as a guide to further information, and not as a bibliography or biography. We have been liberal in including all who have in any way contributed to the literature of Botany, who have made scientific collections of plants, or have otherwise assisted directly in the progress of Botany, exclusive of pure Horticulture. We have not, as a rule, included those who were merely patrons of workers, or those known only as contributing small details to a local Flora. Where known, the name is followed by the years of birth and death, which, when uncertain, are marked with a ? or c. [circa) ; or merely approximate dates of "flourishing" are given. Then follows the place and day of bu'th and death, and the place of burial ; a brief indication of social position or occupation, espe- cially in the cases of artisan botanists and of professional collectors; chief university degrees, or other titles or offices held, and dates of election to the Linnean and Eoyal Societies.

  • The Emerging Biofuel Crop Camelina Sativa Retains a Highly Undifferentiated Hexaploid Genome Structure
    ARTICLE Received 6 Jan 2014 | Accepted 21 Mar 2014 | Published 23 Apr 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms4706 OPEN The emerging biofuel crop Camelina sativa retains a highly undifferentiated hexaploid genome structure Sateesh Kagale1,2, Chushin Koh2, John Nixon1, Venkatesh Bollina1, Wayne E. Clarke1, Reetu Tuteja3, Charles Spillane3, Stephen J. Robinson1, Matthew G. Links1, Carling Clarke2, Erin E. Higgins1, Terry Huebert1, Andrew G. Sharpe2 & Isobel A.P. Parkin1 Camelina sativa is an oilseed with desirable agronomic and oil-quality attributes for a viable industrial oil platform crop. Here we generate the first chromosome-scale high-quality reference genome sequence for C. sativa and annotated 89,418 protein-coding genes, representing a whole-genome triplication event relative to the crucifer model Arabidopsis thaliana. C. sativa represents the first crop species to be sequenced from lineage I of the Brassicaceae. The well-preserved hexaploid genome structure of C. sativa surprisingly mirrors those of economically important amphidiploid Brassica crop species from lineage II as well as wheat and cotton. The three genomes of C. sativa show no evidence of fractionation bias and limited expression-level bias, both characteristics commonly associated with polyploid evolution. The highly undifferentiated polyploid genome of C. sativa presents significant consequences for breeding and genetic manipulation of this industrial oil crop. 1 Saskatoon Research Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, 107 Science Place, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada S7N 0X2. 2 National Research Council Canada, 110 Gymnasium Place, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada S7N 0W9. 3 Plant and AgriBiosciences Centre (PABC), School of Natural Sciences, National University of Ireland Galway, Galway, Ireland.

All rights reserved. 1058-5893/2016/17702-0003$15.00 DOI: 10.1086/684180 PRESENT-DAY GENETIC STRUCTURE OF THE HOLOPARASITE CONOPHOLIS AMERICANA (OROBANCHACEAE) IN EASTERN NORTH AMERICA AND THE LOCATION OF ITS REFUGIA DURING THE LAST GLACIAL CYCLE Anuar Rodrigues1,* and Saša Stefanović* *Department of Biology, University of Toronto, Mississauga, Ontario L5L 1C6, Canada Editor: Félix Forest Premise of research. Understanding how various organisms respond to previous changes in climate could provide insight into how they may respond or adapt to the current changes. Conopholis americana has a broad distribution across eastern North America, covering both previously glaciated and unglaciated regions. In this study, we investigated the postglacial history and phylogeographic structure of this parasitic plant spe- cies to characterize its genetic variation and structure and to identify the number and locations of refugia. Methodology. Molecular data from 10 microsatellite markers and DNA sequences from the plastid gene/ introns (clpP) were obtained for 281 individuals sampled from 75 populations spanning the current range of the species in eastern North America and analyzed using a variety of phylogeographic methods. Distribution modeling was carried out to determine regions with relatively suitable climate niches for populations at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and present. Pivotal results. We inferred the persistence of a minimum of two glacial refugia for C. americana at the LGM, one in north-central Florida and southern Alabama and another in the Appalachian Mountains near the southern tip of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
