This challenge is most serious in tribe Caryophylleae since the supposed genera seem to be highly artificial, and the available morphological evidence cannot effectively be used for delimitation and exact determination of taxa. The main goal of the present study was to re-assess the monophyly of the genera currently recognized in this tribe using molecular phylogenetic data. We used the sequences of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the chloroplast gene rps16 for 135 and 94 accessions, respectively, representing all 16 genera currently recognized in the tribe Caryophylleae, with a rich sampling of Gypsophila as one of the most heterogeneous groups in the tribe.

Plant Maturity and Vernalization Affect Flowering in Dianthus Japonicus Thunb
This article is an Advance Online Publication of the authors’ corrected proof. Note that minor changes may be made before final version publication. The Horticulture Journal Preview e Japanese Society for doi: 10.2503/hortj.UTD-090 JSHS Horticultural Science http://www.jshs.jp/ Plant Maturity and Vernalization Affect Flowering in Dianthus japonicus Thunb. Do Lee Yun**, Su Jung Song*** and Yoon Jin Kim* Department of Horticulture, Biotechnology and Landscape Architecture, Seoul Women’s University, Seoul 01797, Korea Dianthus japonicus Thunb. (D. japonicus) is a biennial with promising floricultural traits, but its commercial appeal is limited by the long time between propagation and flowering. We assessed the effect of juvenile phase, vernalization, and photoperiod on flowering of D. japonicus. Plants were grown in a plug until they had acquired nine, 14, or 16 leaf pairs, and then exposed to a vernalization period of 0, 3, 6, or 12 weeks at 5°C. At the end of the vernalization period, plants were transferred to either long-day treatment or short-day treatment for 10 weeks. In D. japonicus, the numbers of new nodes and leaves were correlated with the vernalization period. Plant height was correlated with the number of leaf pairs. As the vernalization period lengthened, the plants produced more nodes and leaves regardless of their growth stage. The maximum plant height increase was over 24.7 cm in the plants that had 16 leaf pairs at 10 weeks after the start of the photoperiod treatment, regardless of the photoperiod. Plants with 14 or 16 leaf pairs and a vernalization period of 12 weeks flowered regardless of photoperiod treatment.

Southern Garden History Plant Lists
Southern Plant Lists Southern Garden History Society A Joint Project With The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation September 2000 1 INTRODUCTION Plants are the major component of any garden, and it is paramount to understanding the history of gardens and gardening to know the history of plants. For those interested in the garden history of the American south, the provenance of plants in our gardens is a continuing challenge. A number of years ago the Southern Garden History Society set out to create a ‘southern plant list’ featuring the dates of introduction of plants into horticulture in the South. This proved to be a daunting task, as the date of introduction of a plant into gardens along the eastern seaboard of the Middle Atlantic States was different than the date of introduction along the Gulf Coast, or the Southern Highlands. To complicate maters, a plant native to the Mississippi River valley might be brought in to a New Orleans gardens many years before it found its way into a Virginia garden. A more logical project seemed to be to assemble a broad array plant lists, with lists from each geographic region and across the spectrum of time. The project’s purpose is to bring together in one place a base of information, a data base, if you will, that will allow those interested in old gardens to determine the plants available and popular in the different regions at certain times. This manual is the fruition of a joint undertaking between the Southern Garden History Society and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In choosing lists to be included, I have been rather ruthless in expecting that the lists be specific to a place and a time.

Native & Adapted Plants
Tahoe Friendly Gardens Native & Adapted Plants Native and adapted Tahoe Friendly plants require less water, fertilizer and pesticides and can include a diversity of options for your home landscape. They will however require irrigation while getting established. It is a good idea to group plants by their sunlight and moisture requirements. All plants on this list are considered Tahoe Friendly. Some plants may require a few more resources than others but if combined with more natives they can bring beauty to your landscape. Happy Gardening! Sunlight: plant requirements Sun: Six hours or more in direct sun during the growing season. Less light will typically result in less growth and bloom production. Partial Shade: An area where plants get filtered sun instead of direct sun. If plants do get direct sun it is usually early or late in the day. Shade: Plants that germinate and survive under low conditions. Most of the shade plants can tolerate partial sun. Moisture: The recommended moisture content for each plant is listed in the description. Sun Perennials Arnica Arnica chamissonis—native, tolerates partial shade, and needs medium soil moisture. Aster Aster—native and adapted, tolerates partial shade, and needs medium soil moisture. Baby’s Breath Gypsophilia spp.—adapted, the classic bouquet filler, and needs medium soil moisture. Bee Balm Monarda hybrids—adapted, will tolerate partial shade, fragrant flowers, attracts hummingbirds, and needs medium soil moisture. Blanketflower Gaillardia aristata—adapted, tolerates partial shade, and needs dry to medium soils. Blue Fescue Festuca glauca (F. cinerea)—adapted, ground cover grass, tolerates partial shade, good rock garden plant, and needs moderate to medium soil moisture.

It is a chasmophyte growing on the rocks on the seashore in the eastern coast of Korea. The new species is similar to D. chinensis by its vegeta- tive and floral morphology. Differential characters refer to the leaves (oblanceolate to oblong and greenish-gray coriaceous), and the bracts (3 pairs, each bract being elliptic to obovate with apex acute). The conservation status of D. koreanus was assessed according to the IUCN Red List criteria. Key words: East Asia, Dianthus chinensis, endemic species, IUCN Introduction Dianthus Linnaeus (1753: 409) is one of the largest genera of Caryophyllaceae Juss. consisting of approximately 300 species of herbaceous annuals, biennials, and perennials plants, that are common in Europe, Asia and North Africa, whereas some species occur in North America and South Africa (see e.g., Reeve 1967, Mabberley 2008, Vaezi et al. 2014). This genus is easily distinguished from the other genera beloning to Caryophyllaceae by its epicalyx scales (bracts), tubular calyx, and peltate seeds (Bittrich 1993, Bacchetta et al.

Analysis of Carotenoids in Edible Flowers of Dianthus Chinensis Processed by Ionizing Radiation
BRAZILIAN JOURNAL OF RADIATION SCIENCES BJRS 09-01A (2021) 01-11 Analysis of carotenoids in edible flowers of Dianthus chinensis processed by ionizing radiation Koikea A.C.R., Araujob E.S., Negrãoa B.G., Almeida-Muradianb L. B., Villavicencioa A.L.C.H. a Nuclear and Energy Research Institute, National Commission of Nuclear Energy (IPEN-CNEN/SP), 05508-000, São Paulo, SP, Brazil b Faculty of Pharmacy, University of São Paulo (F.C.F./USP), 05508-000, São Paulo, SP, Brazil [email protected] ABSTRACT Dianthus chinensis flowers are widely used in culinary preparations and are appreciated because of its bioactive compounds. It is a perishable food that should be grown without the use of pesticides. In this context, food irra- diation is a process that has proven to be an efficient tool in preserving and extending the perishable product shelf life without changing the temperature or leaving residues. The purpose of this study was to evaluate carot- enoids in D. chinensis flowers submitted to gamma irradiation and electron beam doses of 0.5, 0.8, and 1.0 kGy. High-performance liquid chromatography for carotenoid determination was used. In the edible flower analyzed was found carotenoid lutein (4.02 to 7.52 mg/ 100 g). The lutein was higher for irradiated samples, especially those treated with 0.8 and 1.0 kGy in both irradiation technology. In conclusion, the lutein amount in the chinese pink enhances as the dose increases, and the applied irradiation treatments represent a feasible technology to preserve the nutritional quality of edible flower petals as well as attend to food safety requirements.

(Polycnemaceae, lower core Caryophyllales) Tatiana D. Veselova, Khalima Kh. Dzhalilova & Alexander C. Timonin Summary: Seeds of Polycnemum arvense are similar with typical centrosperms in accumulating reserve starch in the perisperm and reserve proteins in the embryo. The developing seed is supplied with precursors of the reserve substances from distant source. Some carbohydrates are deposited as transitory starch in all ovule structures except the core nucellus and in the early embryo. The transitory starch of the exotesta, tegmen, abfunicular epidermis of the nucellus, nucellar cap, abfunicular strand of the nucellus cells and embryo seems to be completely utilized in situ. The transitory starch of the chalaza protrusion, basal body and endotesta is likely to be partly consumed by the developing endosperm and embryo and partly re-deposited in the perisperm as the reserve starch. The perisperm parenchyma dies off thereafter. Starch deposition in the ovule and seed is accordingly two-stepped. The proteins are deposited one-stepped in the embryo to substitute the starch, in the endospermic cap covering radicula and in the exotesta and endotegmen where they are co-precipitated with tannins.
