Ensete ventricosum is a traditional multipurpose crop mainly used as a staple/co-staple food for over 20 million people in Ethiopia. Despite this, scientific information about the crop is scarce. (ree types of food, viz., Kocho (fermented product from scraped pseudostem and grated corm), Bulla (dehydrated juice), and Amicho (boiled corm) can be prepared from enset. (ese products are particularly rich in carbohydrates, minerals, fibres, and phenolics, but poor in proteins. Such meals are usually served with meat and cheese to supplement proteins. As a food crop, it has useful attributes such as foods can be stored for long time, grows in wide range of environments, produces high yield per unit area, and tolerates drought. It has an irreplaceable role as a feed for animals. Enset starch is found to have higher or comparable quality to potato and maize starch and widely used as a tablet binder and disintegrant and also in pharmaceutical gelling, drug loading, and release processes.

Introduction: Silverberry Elaeagnus commutata Bernh. ex. Rydb is a native shrub with potential use in streambank stabilization, wildlife habitat, windbreaks, and naturalistic landscaping projects. The purpose of this bulletin is to transfer information on the identification, culture, and proper use of this species. FIGURE 1 FRUIT STEM FOLIAGE I. DESCRIPTION Silverberry is a multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub ranging from 1.5 to 3.6 m (5 to 12 ft.) tall. In Montana, heights of 1.5 to 2.4 m (5 to 8 ft.) are most common. It has an erect, upright habit with slender and sometimes twisted branches. The new stems are initially a light to medium brown color, the bark becoming dark gray, but remaining smooth, with age. The leaves are deciduous, alternate, 38 to 89 mm (1.5 to 3.5 in.) long and 19 to 38 mm (0.75 to 1.5 in.) wide (see Figure 1). The leaf shape is described as oval to narrowly ovate with an entire leaf margin. Both the upper and lower leaf surfaces are covered with silvery white scales, the bottom sometimes with brown spots. The highly fragrant, yellow flowers are trumpet-shaped (tubular), approximately 13 mm (0.5 in.) in length, and borne in the leaf axils in large numbers in May or June. The fruit is a silvery-colored, 7.6 mm (0.3 in.) long, egg-shaped drupe that ripens in September to October.

Based on nrDNA ITS Sequences OGyeong Son1, Chang Young Yoon2 and SeonJoo Park1* 1Department of Life Science, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan 712-749, Korea 2Department of Biotechnology, Shingyeong University, Hwaseon 445-741, Korea Abstract - Molecular phylogenetic analyses of Korean Elaeagnus L. were conducted using seven species, one variety, one forma and four outgroups to evaluate their relationships and phylogeny. The sequences of internal transcribed spacer regions in nuclear ribosomal DNA were employed to construct phylogenetic relationships using maximum parsimony (MP) and Bayesian analysis. Molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed that Korean Elaeagnus was a polyphyly. E. umbellata var. coreana formed a subclade with E. umbellata. Additionally, the genetic difference between E. submacrophylla and E. macrophylla was very low. Moreover, E. submacrophylla formed a branch from E. macrophylla, indicating that E. submacrophylla can be regarded as a variety. However, several populations of this species were not clustered as a single clade; therefore, further study should be conducted using other molecular markers. Although E. glabra f. oxyphylla was distinct in morphological characters of leaf shape with E. glabra. But E. glabra f. oxyphylla was formed one clade by molecular phylogenetic with E. glabra. Additionally, this study clearly demonstrated that E. pungens occurs in Korea, although it was previously reported near South Korea in Japan and China. According to the results of ITS regions analyses, it showed a resolution and to verify the relationship between interspecies of Korean Elaeagnus.

Box 30726, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia ([email protected]),[email protected] ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. Abstract: Seed Storage behavior of wild and cultivated (Ensete ventricosum Welw. Cheesman) was not identified. Seeds are not the edible part of the plant. Belongs to species of the separate genus of the banana family. Variation within the species to altitude, soil and climate has allowed widespread cultivation in the Ethiopia. Genetic resources, is essential to the well-being of human kind, need to be conserved and utilized properly. Because of the urban development and road construction the wild relatives became very rare and therefore it is very vital to conserve wild and cultivated seeds in the gene bank. Most of the genetic diversity of enset is traditionally maintained in situ by farmers. The Ethiopian Biodiversity Institute (EBI) is responsible for the collection, conservation, & sustainable utilization of the country’s genetic recourses. To carry out this responsibility, the institute has been conserving genetic resources using both by in-situ and ex-situ conservation methods according to their national priority. The objective of this work was to determine the seed storage behavior of cultivated and wild enset & to mention conservation opportunities. Seeds of both wild and cultivated enset were collected and studied by using a standard protocol to determine seed storage behavior & identified as one of the orthodox seeds which can be conserved in the gene bank for long term conservation and sustainable utilization.

Empirical evidence from Ethiopia Ejigu Mulatu Received 7 February 2021, Revised 28 April 2021, Accepted 23 June 2021, Published online 30 June 2021 A B S T R A C T Enset production in Ethiopia is seemingly limited to only consumption-based production and most of producers supplied small amounts of products to the market. This study was conducted with main objective of assessing factors affecting market participation of enset producers in Chena district in southwestern Ethiopia. Two-stage sampling technique was employed to select 101 representative enset producer households. Both primary and secondary data sources were used to gather necessary data for attaining specific objectives of the study. Both descriptive statistics and econometric model were used to analyze the collected data. A Heckman two stage model was employed to analyze the factors affecting households’ decision in market participation in sale of enset products and the amount of gross income earned. Econometric model analysis result showed that; sex of household head, education level, livestock owned, a distance from nearest market center, enset plantation size, and transport access were found to be significant in affecting the probability of market participation decision. In addition, education level, family size, distance from market center, enset plantation, and transport access affected the amount of gross income earned from sale of different enset products.

  • Forsythia.Pdf
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 18 April 2016 Forsythia, Forsythia spp. Forsythia is both the common and genus name of a group of deciduous fl ower shrubs in the olive family (Oleaceae) named after William Forsyth, a Scottish botanist who was at that time Director of the Royal Garden at Kensington and a founding member of England’s Royal Horticultural Society. The 11 or so species are primarily native to eastern Asia, with one species from Europe. The two quite variable species F. suspensa and F. viridissima were the fi rst to be brought from the Far East to Europe. Forsythia × intermedia is a hybrid of these species that was introduced in continental Europe Forsythia is a common landscape plant in the about 1880. Many Midwest. other crosses using the same two parents have been made so plants with this name can be quite variable. F. suspensa tends to have a widely open to drooping habit, but a more upright form found in China in 1861 was given the (incorrect) name F. fortunei. Other species discovered in the early 1900’s – F. giraldiana from China and F. ovata from Korea – as well as the European species F. europaea, have been used in 20th-century American crosses. Hardiness varies by species, with most in zones 5-8, but many of the hybrids are hardier than the parents, surviving in zones 4 or even 3. The unrelated white forsythia, Abeliophyllum distichum, has many of the same characteristics as forsythia, blooming White forsythia, Abeliophyllum about the same time, but with white fl owers.

The experiments of this study were executed with the objectives of determining size of whole corms and corm pieces for better sucker production. Five whole corm sizes (0.75, 3, 7, 11and15 kg), five bigger (0.8, 1.75, 2.3, 3.5 and 4.6) and three smaller (0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 kg) corm pieces, three corm piece positions (lower, middle and top) of horizontal cut. There were significant (p<0.01) differences among corms and corm pieces in the number of suckers. Whole corms with 7 kg gave the highest number of suckers; similarly, corm pieces with 3.5 kg. The mean number of suckers produced ranged from 9.5-28.4 for whole corms, 3.7-38.1 for corm piece. There was no positive and significant relationship between total number of suckers and growth. Many of the other growth parameters are associated with each other. The highest sucker number was recorded using corms of 7 kg corm and 3.5 kg corm pieces. 1) Significant variations among corms and corm pieces in the number of suckers formed, with whole corms, corms with 7 and 3 kg weights scored the highest number of suckers.

  • Conservation Trees and Shrubs for Montana
    Conservation Trees and Shrubs for Montana Montana mt.nrcs.usda.gov Introduction When you are contemplating which tree or shrub species to plant, your first thought might be, “Will this plant thrive here?” You will want to know if the plant will tolerate the temperatures, moisture, and soil conditions of the area. This publication focuses on identifying and describing trees and shrubs capable of tolerating Montana’s severe climatic and environmental conditions, the site conditions where they are best adapted to grow, and some of the benefits each tree and shrub provides. When looking at each of the provided attributes, consider these two points. First, these characteristics and traits are approximations, and variability within a species is quite common. Second, plant performance varies over time as a plant grows and matures. For example, even “drought tolerant” species require adequate moisture until their root systems become well established. Landowners and managers, homeowners, and others plant trees and shrubs for many reasons, including: windbreaks for livestock protection and crop production, shelterbelts for homes and farmsteads to reduce wind speed and conserve energy usage, living snow fences to trap and manage snow, hedgerows as visual and noise screens, landscaping for beautification around homes and parks, wildlife habitat and food, blossoms for pollinators such as bees, streamside and wetland restoration, reforestation following timber harvest or wildfire, and fruit and berries for human use to name just a few. Montana encompasses 93.3 million acres with temperature extremes ranging from -50 degrees F in northeast Montana, to 110 degrees F in summer in southcentral Montana.
