SOME FACTORS INFLUENCING THE SUDDEN DEATH SYNDROME IN CUT FLOWER PLANTS A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Horti cultural Science at Massey University Clinton N Bowyer 1996 11 ABSTRACT Soil/root mixes from plants with the Sudden Collapse Syndrome of cut flower plants were tested for Phytophthora infection using a lupin (Lupinus angustifolius) baiting technique. Boronia heterophylla and Leucadendron 'Wilsons Wonder' root samples both caused the lupin seedlings to exhibit symptoms of Phytophthora infection. The efficacy of phosphorous acid (Foschek® 500 at 1000 ppm and 2000 ppm) and a combination of phosphorous acid and an additional product (Foschek® 500 and C408 at 1000/200 ppm and 2000/400 ppm) in controlling Phytophthora cinnamomi root infections of L 'W ilsons Wonder', B.heterophylla and B. megastigma rooted cuttings was compared with fosetyl­ AI (Aliette® 80 SP at 1000 ppm and 2000 ppm) under conditions of high disease pressure. The fungicides were applied as a root drench 7 days prior to the roots being inoculated by a split wheat technique and the effect of the fungicides and their concentrations on the rate of plant mortality was measured. The results were species dependent.

In vitro flowering has become a valuable tool assisting micropropagators to release new species and cultivars into market more rapidly. In this review the progress made in the industry of cut flowers, pot flowers and the potentiality for future expansion of this field are highlighted. Flowering involves the conversion of the apical meristematic initials into a floral meristem, from which all the parts of the flower will be produced. Signals that change the fate of the apical meristem include maturity of the plant, temperature, photoperiod and the relative length of day and night. The authors also induced in vitro flowering in orchid and some of the endangered and endemic medicinal plants. The present review highlights about 40 families, 75 genera and more than 100 species for the last seven decades. Key words: In vitro flowering, Plant tissue culture, Plant growth regulators. Introduction The plant flowers only when genetic factors, including photoperiod, environmental responses are hospitable (Tissarat and Galletta, 1995).

  • Plant This Instead at All)
    Minimise the risk of introducing garden escapees Many common plants have jumped the garden fence and become invasive weeds. Using local native plants in your garden not only reduces the risk of introducing further garden escapees, but also helps maintain the special and unique identity of the area – our sense of place. Local native plants attract native insects, small birds and marsupials, providing important refuges in a rapidly developing area. Like many of the exotic species we know well, local natives grow quickly, flower beautifully at different times of the year and come in a variety of colours, foliage textures and scents. The plants suggested here make up a small selection of the hundreds of beautiful flowering plants found in this region.

    ISSN1035-7394 Number 1 October 2013 Boronia and Allied Genera Australian Native Plants Society (Australia) Inc. Boronia and Allied Genera Study Group Newsletter Boronia Pinnata, Mount Victoria, October 2013 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contents 1 Editorial 2 Growing Boronias at Mount Victoria NSW 3 Genera allied to Boronia 4 Questionnaire 1 ISSN1035-7394 Number 1 October 2013 Editorial The intention in resurrecting the Boronia and Allied Genera Study Group was to provide a forum for more people to enjoy cultivating this beautiful genus of Australian Plants. It has become difficult to purchase many Boronia species in nurseries and many of those occasionally available are not suitable for growing in the local area. Many of these plants are purchased by people who do not understand their preferred cultivation conditions, so that when the plant soon dies they tell all their friends how hard boronias are to grow. This results in people not wanting to buy boronias so that nurserymen cease stocking them. This systemic problem is likely to be difficult to correct. The previous leader told me she gave up because she was tired of running a cutting service for people who presumably could not purchase plants from nurseries. I certainly do not intend operating a cutting service. It seemed to me that the Australian Native Plants Society Study Group was the best place to commence addressing this problem. So where do we start? We need a team of experienced enthusiasts to spread information more widely about the species and the cultivation conditions that allow boronias to thrive in their particular climate. The current membership of the Study Group consists or Regional Societies.
