Sneezing has exerted a strange fascination on humans throughout history, and induced sneezing was widely used by physicians for therapeutic purposes, on the assumption that sneezing eliminates noxious factors from the body, mainly from the head. The present contribution examines the various mixtures used for inducing sneezes (remedia sternutatoria) over the centuries. The majority of the constituents of the sneeze-inducing remedies are modulators of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels. The TRP channel superfamily consists of large heterogeneous groups of channels that play numerous physiological roles such as thermosensation, chemosensation, osmosensation and mechanosensation. Sneezing is associated with the activation of the wasabi receptor, (TRPA1), typical ligand is allyl isothiocyanate and the hot chili pepper receptor, (TRPV1), typical agonist is capsaicin, in the vagal sensory nerve terminals, activated by noxious stimulants. -
Postharvest Storage and Handling of Ranunculus Asiaticus Dried Tuberous Roots
POSTHARVEST STORAGE AND HANDLING OF RANUNCULUS ASIATICUS DRIED TUBEROUS ROOTS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Christopher Brian Cerveny January 2011 © 2011 Christopher Brian Cerveny POSTHARVEST STORAGE AND HANDLING OF RANUNCULUS ASIATICUS DRIED TUBEROUS ROOTS Christopher B. Cerveny, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 Ranunculus asiaticus is an ornamental flowering plant with potential to be more widely used by the floriculture industry. Unfortunately, growers are faced with many challenges when producing these plants from their dry tuberous roots following storage; including poor sprouting, non-uniform growth, disease issues upon planting, as well as inconsistent cultural recommendations and lack of proper storage and handling protocols. Several experiments were conducted to determine the influence of temperature and relative humidity during storage on growth and quality of R. asiaticus plants. From our experiments it can be concluded that R. asiaticus tubers store best under low relative humidity and cool temperatures (above freezing). Also important from a storage perspective, unlike other flower bulbs, we show that R. asiaticus tuberous roots are not susceptible to ethylene damage while in the dry state. Prior to planting, tubers should be submerged in room-temperature water at around 20 oC, for 24 h, and then provided a fungicide treatment. We have shown that proper hydration temperature for R. asiaticus tuberous roots is critical for optimal growth. By following the protocol generated from our experiments, many of the production challenges associated with R. asiaticus tuberous roots may be avoided. -

The Loss of Photosynthetic Pathways in the Plastid and Nuclear Genomes of the Non- Photosynthetic Mycoheterotrophic Eudicot Monotropa Hypopitys Nikolai V
The Author(s) BMC Plant Biology 2016, 16(Suppl 3):238 DOI 10.1186/s12870-016-0929-7 RESEARCH Open Access The loss of photosynthetic pathways in the plastid and nuclear genomes of the non- photosynthetic mycoheterotrophic eudicot Monotropa hypopitys Nikolai V. Ravin*, Eugeny V. Gruzdev, Alexey V. Beletsky, Alexander M. Mazur, Egor B. Prokhortchouk, Mikhail A. Filyushin, Elena Z. Kochieva, Vitaly V. Kadnikov, Andrey V. Mardanov and Konstantin G. Skryabin From The International Conference on Bioinformatics of Genome Regulation and Structure\Systems Biology (BGRS\SB-2016) Novosibirsk, Russia. 29 August-2 September 2016 Abstract Background: Chloroplasts of most plants are responsible for photosynthesis and contain a conserved set of about 110 genes that encode components of housekeeping gene expression machinery and photosynthesis-related functions. Heterotrophic plants obtaining nutrients from other organisms and their plastid genomes represent model systems in which to study the effects of relaxed selective pressure on photosynthetic function. The most evident is a reduction in the size and gene content of the plastome, which correlates with the loss of genes encoding photosynthetic machinery which become unnecessary. Transition to a non-photosynthetic lifestyle is expected also to relax the selective pressure on photosynthetic machinery in the nuclear genome, however, the corresponding changes are less known. Results: Here we report the complete sequence of the plastid genome of Monotropa hypopitys, an achlorophyllous obligately mycoheterotrophic plant belonging to the family Ericaceae. The plastome of M. hypopitys is greatly reduced in size (35,336 bp) and lacks the typical quadripartite structure with two single-copy regions and an inverted repeat. -

Imprints of Independent Allopolyploid Formations On
Chen et al. BMC Genomics (2021) 22:264 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-021-07566-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Imprints of independent allopolyploid formations on patterns of gene expression in two sibling yarrow species (Achillea, Asteraceae) Duo Chen1†, Peng-Cheng Yan2† and Yan-Ping Guo1* Abstract Background: Polyploid species often originate recurrently. While this is well known, there is little information on the extent to which distinct allotetraploid species formed from the same parent species differ in gene expression. The tetraploid yarrow species Achillea alpina and A. wilsoniana arose independently from allopolyploidization between diploid A. acuminata and A. asiatica. The genetics and geography of these origins are clear from previous studies, providing a solid basis for comparing gene expression patterns of sibling allopolyploid species that arose independently. Results: We conducted comparative RNA-sequencing analyses on the two Achillea tetraploid species and their diploid progenitors to evaluate: 1) species-specific gene expression and coexpression across the four species; 2) patterns of inheritance of parental gene expression; 3) parental contributions to gene expression in the allotetraploid species, and homeolog expression bias. Diploid A. asiatica showed a higher contribution than diploid A. acuminata to the transcriptomes of both tetraploids and also greater homeolog bias in these transcriptomes, possibly reflecting a maternal effect. Comparing expressed genes in the two allotetraploids, we found expression of ca. 30% genes were species-specific in each, which were most enriched for GO terms pertaining to “defense response”. Despite species-specific and differentially expressed genes between the two allotetraploids, they display similar transcriptome changes in comparison to their diploid progenitors. -
Colonial Garden Plants
COLONIAL GARD~J~ PLANTS I Flowers Before 1700 The following plants are listed according to the names most commonly used during the colonial period. The botanical name follows for accurate identification. The common name was listed first because many of the people using these lists will have access to or be familiar with that name rather than the botanical name. The botanical names are according to Bailey’s Hortus Second and The Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture (3, 4). They are not the botanical names used during the colonial period for many of them have changed drastically. We have been very cautious concerning the interpretation of names to see that accuracy is maintained. By using several references spanning almost two hundred years (1, 3, 32, 35) we were able to interpret accurately the names of certain plants. For example, in the earliest works (32, 35), Lark’s Heel is used for Larkspur, also Delphinium. Then in later works the name Larkspur appears with the former in parenthesis. Similarly, the name "Emanies" appears frequently in the earliest books. Finally, one of them (35) lists the name Anemones as a synonym. Some of the names are amusing: "Issop" for Hyssop, "Pum- pions" for Pumpkins, "Mushmillions" for Muskmellons, "Isquou- terquashes" for Squashes, "Cowslips" for Primroses, "Daffadown dillies" for Daffodils. Other names are confusing. Bachelors Button was the name used for Gomphrena globosa, not for Centaurea cyanis as we use it today. Similarly, in the earliest literature, "Marygold" was used for Calendula. Later we begin to see "Pot Marygold" and "Calen- dula" for Calendula, and "Marygold" is reserved for Marigolds.
