  • Circumscription and Phylogeny of Apiaceae Subfamily Saniculoideae Based on Chloroplast DNA Sequences
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution xxx (2007) xxx–xxx www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Circumscription and phylogeny of Apiaceae subfamily Saniculoideae based on chloroplast DNA sequences Carolina I. Calviño a,b,¤, Stephen R. Downie a a Department of Plant Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801-3707, USA b Instituto de Botánica Darwinion, Buenos Aires, Argentina Received 14 July 2006; revised 3 January 2007; accepted 4 January 2007 Abstract An estimate of phylogenetic relationships within Apiaceae subfamily Saniculoideae was inferred using data from the chloroplast DNA trnQ-trnK 5Ј-exon region to clarify the circumscription of the subfamily and to assess the monophyly of its constituent genera. Ninety- one accessions representing 14 genera and 82 species of Apiaceae were examined, including the genera Steganotaenia, Polemanniopsis, and Lichtensteinia which have been traditionally treated in subfamily Apioideae but determined in recent studies to be more closely related to or included within subfamily Saniculoideae. The trnQ-trnK 5Ј-exon region includes two intergenic spacers heretofore underutilized in molecular systematic studies and the rps16 intron. Analyses of these loci permitted an assessment of the relative utility of these noncoding regions (including the use of indel characters) for phylogenetic study at diVerent hierarchical levels. The use of indels in phylogenetic anal- yses of both combined and partitioned data sets improves resolution of relationships, increases bootstrap support values, and decreases levels of overall homoplasy. Intergeneric relationships derived from maximum parsimony, Bayesian, and maximum likelihood analyses, as well as from maximum parsimony analysis of indel data alone, are fully resolved and consistent with one another and generally very well supported.

  • Here Is a Quick Explanation of How the Seed Exchange Works
    RULES OF THE SEED EXCHANGE The rules of the seed exchange have been revised in 2014, in order to make it run more smoothly, be more cost-effective (it makes a loss, so is a cost to the Society) and offer a better service. Please ensure that you READ these new rules and follow them: they are available to all so you will be deemed to know about them! INTRODUCTION Please remember that the seed exchange is basically a free service provided by the members for the members (you only pay a small charge to cover postage, stationery etc), and all work is done by volunteers. These rules are designed to make it possible to continue offering the service on the present basis; we simply do not have enough time to deal with either donations or orders which take up more time than they ought, hence the various inducements and sanctions we offer or impose. Here is a quick explanation of how the seed exchange works. Donors collect seed in their gardens as it ripens, name and package it and send it in to me before a closing date published in the magazine each year. I put all seed of the same variety into one large envelope (checking that it's what it says it is and that the name is correct as I go along), and when all the seed is in I make a list of what I have and number the envelopes to match the list. The list then goes off to press and the seeds go to the Cheshire Group to be packeted into the small individual packets in which they are sent out - over a thousand varieties, each into an average of twenty packets, and all numbered.

    Nat. Volatiles & Essent.

Urankent Prestij Konutları, C16 Blok, No: 53, Demetevler, Ankara, TURKEY 2 Biology Education, Necatibey Education Faculty, Balıkesir University, Balıkesir, TURKEY *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Lamiaceae is the third largest family based on the taxon number and fourth largest family based on the species number in Turkey. The family has 48 genera and 782 taxa (603 species, 179 subspecies and varieties), 346 taxa (271 species, 75 subspecies and varieties) of which are endemic (ca. 44%) (data updated 1th February 2017) in the country. There are also 23 hybrid species, 19 of which are endemic (82%). The results proven that Turkey is one of the centers of diversity for Lamiaceae in the Old World. In addition, Turkey has about 10% of all Lamiaceae members in the World. The largest five genera in the country based on the taxon number are Stachys (118 taxa), Salvia (107 taxa), Sideritis (54 taxa), Phlomis (53 taxa) and Teucrium (49 taxa). According to taxon number, five genera with the highest endemism ratio are Dorystaechas (1 taxon, 100%), Lophantus (1 taxon, 100%), Sideritis (54 taxa, 74%), Drymosiphon (9 taxa, 67%), and Marrubium (27 taxa, 63%). There are two monotypic genera in Turkey as Dorystaechas and Pentapleura. Turkey sits on the junction of three phytogeographic regions with highly diverse climate and the other ecologic features. Phytogeographic distribution of Turkish Lamiaceae taxa are 293 taxa in the Mediterranean (37.4%), 267 taxa in the Irano-Turanian (36.7%), 90 taxa in the Euro-Siberian (Circumboreal) phytogeographic region, and 112 taxa in Unknown or Multiregional (14.3%) phytogeographical elements.

  • Field Grown Cut Flowers
    Nursery FACTSHEET September 2015 Field Grown Cut Flowers INTRODUCTION The culture of field grown flowers is an area of floriculture that is generating a lot of interest and is enjoying a steady growth rate. It provides a way to enter the floriculture industry without the $100 to $150 per square metre capital costs that are involved in some greenhouse crops. Recently, the largest area of growth has been in the specialty cut flowers as opposed to the more traditional field grown crops like statice, dahlias and gypsophila. As gardening increases in popularity, home consumers are becoming familiar with the many new and different flower species. In turn, consumers are starting to look for and demand these flowers in floral design work. Site Selection Whether you plan to lease or own the land, there are basic, yet important, site considerations (see Table 1). It is easier if you start with a suitable site rather than try to modify it later. Table 1. Considerations when selecting a production site Soil: It should be fertile and well drained. Soil tests are a basic management tool. Even if you are familiar with the soil in the area, it must be tested to determine pH, organic matter and nutrient levels. A pH of 6.0–6.5 is suitable for most cuts. Know the requirements of your crop before you make any major changes. Water: Good quality water must be available in sufficient quantities. Have the water source tested to determine essentials like pH and EC (salinity). Terrain: Flat land is easier to work. Watch out for low lying pockets that might be prone to early and late frosts, or flooding during the wet months.

  • New Tribal Delimitations for the Early Diverging Lineages of Apiaceae Subfamily Apioideae
    TAXON 59 (2) • April 2010: 567–580 Magee & al. • Tribal delimitations in early diverging Apioideae New tribal delimitations for the early diverging lineages of Apiaceae subfamily Apioideae Anthony R.

Author for correspondence: Ben-Erik van Wyk, [email protected] Abstract Phylogenetic analyses of the cpDNA trnQ-trnK 5′ exon region for 27 genera and 42 species of Saniculoideae and early diverging lineages of Apioideae were carried out to assess or confirm the tribal placements of the following anomalous genera: Annesorhiza, Astydamia, Chamarea, Choritaenia, Ezosciadium, Itasina, Lichtensteinia, Marlothiella, Molopospermum and Phlyctidocarpa. To accommodate these unique early diverging members of the Apiaceae and to reflect their relationships, a new tribal classification system has become necessary. Many of the early diverging genera (herein referred to as the pro- toapioids) can readily be distinguished from the euapioids (the remaining apioids) by the presence of scattered druse crystals in the mesocarp. The major morphological discontinuity within the family, however, lies between the combined protoapioids and euapioids (representing an expanded Apioideae s.l., including the Saniculoideae) and the subfamilies Azorelloideae and Mackinlayoideae.
