Prasert Kongkiatngam • ABSTRACT Genctic variation within and between two cultivars of red clover (Tri/oliam pratense L), Essi from Europe and Ottawa from Canada was estimated using morphological, isozyme and randol11 amplified polymorphie DNA (RAPD) markers. A total of 21 enzyme-coding loci with 43 alleles was deteeted using twelve enzyme systems. The mean number of aileles per locus was 1.81 in Essi and 1.67 in Ottawa. Nine 10-mer primers were used to assay 20 individuals from eaeh cultivar for RAPD m:-:rkers. Eaeh primer gave from 7 to 20 amplified bands with an average of 14.8 bands per primer. High within-eultivar variation was observed in both cultivars using both isozyme and RAPD markers. The mode of inheritanee of seven isozyme loci: Aat-2, Amy-l, Est-4, Est-7, Pgd-1, Pgd-2 and Skd-1. in red clover was verified. The genetic basis of banding patterns for 16 other isozyme loci: Aat-3, Adlz-1, Dia-l, Dia­ 2, Dia-3, Est-l, Est-2, Gpi-2, ldlz-l, Mdlz-l, Mdlz-2, Mdlz-3, Mdlz-4, Me-l, Me-2 and Pgm-2, was also postulated, based on the segregation patterns observed within cultivars. Two pairs oflinked enzyme-coding loci, Est-4jEst-7 and Pgd-2/Skd-1, were found with joint segregation analysis. Estimates ofgenetic variability of lS red clover cultivars from three different origins indicated that within-cultivar variation was much higher than between-cultivar variation. Allele frquencies of these isozymes could discriminate the five North American cultivars assayed, but they could not differentiate cultivars from Europe and Japan. The use of RAPD markers obtained frum bulked samples was investigated for cultivar identification in red clover. Pooled samples were examined in order to minimize variation within cultivars. Twenty was found to be an appropriate number of red clover individuals per bulk for homogenizing genetic variation within cultivars. Fourteen 1D-mer primers were used to amplify genomic DNA from combined leafsamples of lS red clover cultivars from European, Japanese and North American origins. A total of 79 amplified bands, of which SS were polymorphie, was obtained. Cultivar-specifie bands were observed • with 13 primers. The amplification patterns obtained from two primers could distinguish ail 15 red c10ver cultivars. Cluster analysis b'lscd on Rogers' genctic • distances separated these 15 cultivars inw four groups. but each group cont.lins cultivars from more than one geogr;:phical origin. Six lllorpholugiC<ll traits 'lIld 2.' enzyme-coding loci were used to study the genetic changes of two groups of red c10ver populations that have undergone three cycles of natural selection. MCC 124 is a mixture of seed of 20 cultivars originating from North America and Europe and MCC 125 is a polycross ofFusarium resistant clones largely from the cultivar OU:<.va. Thus MCC 125 is a much narrower based population. The percentages ofplants \Vith spreading hairs on stems and petioles. and \Vith hairy internodes increased dramatically after the firs. cycle of natural selection in the MCC 124 populations. The percentage of plants with leaf marks did not change in either group of populations. The percentage of plants with flowering stems in the first year of growth increased after the first cycle of selection in the MCC 124 populations. However, the percentage of flowering plants decreased slowly in the MCC 125 populations. These changes in morphological characters related to environmental adaptation indicated that natural selection had occurred in these red c10ver populations. The allele frequencies of most polymorphie loci did not change after three cycles of selection. ln the MCC 124 populations, the estimates of aver.lge exj>ected heterozygosity decreased slightly but the percentages of polymorphie loci and the mean number of alleles per locus were almost the same after three cycles of selection. ln the MCC 125 populations, all of these estimates decreased slightly. • ii • RÉSUMÉ Les variations génétiques parmi et entre deux cultivars de trèfle rouge (Trifolium pratense L) ont eté étudiées. Les cultivars Essi provenant d'Europe et Ottaw-.t provenant du Canada ont été analysés aux niveaux morphologique, de l'étude des isozymes et de l'étude des marqueurs RAPD ("Random Amplified Polymorphie DNA"). Un total de 21 loci contenant 43 allèles codant pour les enzymcsont été détectés en utilisant douze différents systèmes d'enzymes. Le nombre moyen d'allèles par locus était de 1.81 pour le cultivar Essi et de 1.67 pour Ottawa. Neuf amorces de 10 nucléotides ont été utilisées sur 20 individus de chacun des deux cultivars afin d'identifier les marqueurs RAPD appropriés. Chacune des amorces permet de detecter de 7 à 20 bandes amplifiées, avec une moyenne de 14.8 bandes detectées par amorce. L'étude des isozymes et des marqueurs RAPD a permis de détecter une grande variation au sein du même cultivar et cela pour les 2 cultivars étudiés. La transmission génétique de sept loci d'isczymes: Aat-2, Amy-l, &t-4, &t-7, Pgd-1, Pgd-2 et Skd-1 du tréfle rouge a été étudiée. La base génétique des patror,s de bandes pour 16 autre loci d'isozymes:Aat-3, Adh-1, Dia-l, Dia-2, Dia­ 3, Est-l, &t-2, Gpi-2, Idh-1, Mdll-1, Mdll-2, Mdll-3, Mdh-4, Me-l, Me-2 et Pgm-2 a aussi été postulée, basé sur le schéma de ségrégation observé parmis les cultivars. Deux paires de loci codant pour des enzymes Est-4jEst-7 et Pgd-2jSkd-1 ont été découvert à l'aide d'une analyse de ségrégation. L'estimation de la variabilité génétique de 15 cultivars de trèfle rouge, de trois différentes origines, indique clairement que la variation génétique est beaucoup plus importante au sein du même cultivar qu'entre les différents cultivars. Dest possible d'utiliser la fréquence des allèles de ces isozymes pour distinguer les cinq cultivars américains testé. Par contre, il est impossible d'utiliser cette méthode pour différencier les cultivars en provenance d'Europe et du Japon. L'utilisation de marqueurs RAPD obtenus déchantillons combinés a été étudiée afin de pennetté l'identification des cultivars de trèfle rouge. Les échantillons ont été combinés afin de minimiser la variation parmis les cultivars. Vmgt individus semblait être un nombre approprié de plants de trèfles rouges par échantillon combiné, ceci afin d'avoir une variation génétique • iü parmis les cultivars la plus homogène possible. Quatorze amorces de 10 nucléotides • ont été utilisées afin d'amplifier rADN génomique des échantillons comhinés contenant les feuilles de 15 cultivars de trèfle rouge. Ces cultivars étaient d'origine européenne.

  • Here Is No Known Antidote
    This monthly series highlights the colorful blooms you might see as you drive through Illinois during the growing season. It is designed to help you identify common roadside plants by the color of their blooms. It’s easy! Find your bloom color of interest in the title blocks of this piece. Species lists are based off of my 2017 observations primarily along I-57, which traverses the state north-south. Although my typical drives spanned four ecophysiographic divisions, the roadside “assemblage” mainly consist of a typical suite of weedy species - non-native ornamental or agricultural escapees and invasive species. These species are adapted to the roadside conditions and can exploit the road network as a mode of dispersal. Occasionally, more conservative species and tiny patches of the remnant community can be observed hanging on along the roadside in wetlands, woodland interior, adjacent to railroads and under power lines. Bloom times do vary year to year and generally, the spring blooms of 2018 appear to be a few weeks later than spring 2017. This list is by no means exhaustive. Conium maculatum, Apiaceae 1 Poison Hemlock This species appears as a large herb and grows to heights of 5-8 feet tall. Small, white flowers are in clusters called umbels (an arrangement of flowers in the shape of an umbrella typical of its family) and its alternate, divided leaves appear “lacy” or “ferny”. In ancient Greece, this plant was commonly used to execute criminals condemned to death. Its most famous casualty was Socrates, the famous philosopher and teacher of Plato.

Kruse 2007 DATE SUBMITTED 28 February 2008 PRINCIPLE INVESTIGATORS Stephan L. Hatch Dale A. Kruse S. M. Tracy Herbarium (TAES), Texas A & M University 2138 TAMU, College Station, Texas 77843-2138 SUBMITTED TO Gulf Coast Inventory and Monitoring Network Lafayette, Louisiana CONTRACT NUMBER J2115040013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The “Natchez Trace” has played an important role in transportation, trade, and communication in the region since pre-historic times. As the development and use of steamboats along the Mississippi River increased, travel on the Trace diminished and the route began to be reclaimed by nature. A renewed interest in the Trace began during, and following, the Great Depression. In the early 1930’s, then Mississippi congressman T. J. Busby promoted interest in the Trace from a historical perspective and also as an opportunity for employment in the area. Legislation was introduced by Busby to conduct a survey of the Trace and in 1936 actual construction of the modern roadway began. Development of the present Natchez Trace Parkway (NATR) which follows portions of the original route has continued since that time. The last segment of the NATR was completed in 2005. The federal lands that comprise the modern route total about 52,000 acres in 25 counties through the states of Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The route, about 445 miles long, is a manicured parkway with numerous associated rest stops, parks, and monuments. Current land use along the NATR includes upland forest, mesic prairie, wetland prairie, forested wetlands, interspersed with numerous small agricultural croplands.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Here, we describe Trifolium absconditum sp. nov., a new species of the T. amabile complex from South America. It differs from other Peruvian Trifolia of the complex by having smaller stipules, leaves, inflorescences, and floral pieces. A key for Peruvian species of the complex is presented, and typifications for them are made when necessary and material is available in Peruvian herbaria. Thus, the number of Peruvian species in the complex is elevated to three: T. amabile, T. absconditum,andaresurrectedT. peruvianum. Finally, it is suggested that Chile must be excluded from the distribution of this complex. 1.
