Historical Setting of the Guianan Plant Heritage The Guianas are embedded high in the green shoulder of northern South America, an area once known as the "Wild Coast". They are the only non-Latin American countries in South America, and are situated just north of the Equator in a configuration with the Amazon River of Brazil to the south and the Orinoco River of Venezuela to the west. The three Guianas comprise, from west to east, the countries of Guyana (area: 83,000 square miles; capital: Georgetown), Surinam (area: 63, 037 square miles; capital: Paramaribo) and French Guiana (area: 34, 740 square miles; capital: Cayenne). Perhaps the earliest physical contact between Europeans and the present-day Guianas occurred in 1500 when the Spanish navigator Vincente Yanez Pinzon, after discovering the Amazon River, sailed northwest and entered the Oyapock River, which is now the eastern boundary of French Guiana.

Introduction Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) regulates noxious weeds under the authority of the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000) and the Federal Seed Act (7 U.S.C. § 1581-1610, 1939). A noxious weed is defined as “any plant or plant product that can directly or indirectly injure or cause damage to crops (including nursery stock or plant products), livestock, poultry, or other interests of agriculture, irrigation, navigation, the natural resources of the United States, the public health, or the environment” (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000). We use the PPQ weed risk assessment (WRA) process (PPQ, 2015) to evaluate the risk potential of plants, including those newly detected in the United States, those proposed for import, and those emerging as weeds elsewhere in the world.

Ecophysiology of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM)
Annals of Botany 93: 629±652, 2004 doi:10.1093/aob/mch087, available online at www.aob.oupjournals.org INVITED REVIEW Ecophysiology of Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) ULRICH LUÈ TTGE* Institute of Botany, Technical University of Darmstadt, Schnittspahnstrasse 3±5, D-64287 Darmstadt, Germany Received: 3 October 2003 Returned for revision: 17 December 2003 Accepted: 20 January 2004 d Background and Scope Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) as an ecophysiological modi®cation of photo- synthetic carbon acquisition has been reviewed extensively before. Cell biology, enzymology and the ¯ow of carbon along various pathways and through various cellular compartments have been well documented and dis- cussed. The present attempt at reviewing CAM once again tries to use a different approach, considering a wide range of inputs, receivers and outputs. d Input Input is given by a network of environmental parameters. Six major ones, CO2,H2O, light, temperature, nutrients and salinity, are considered in detail, which allows discussion of the effects of these factors, and combinations thereof, at the individual plant level (`physiological aut-ecology'). d Receivers Receivers of the environmental cues are the plant types genotypes and phenotypes, the latter includ- ing morphotypes and physiotypes. CAM genotypes largely remain `black boxes', and research endeavours of genomics, producing mutants and following molecular phylogeny, are just beginning. There is no special development of CAM morphotypes except for a strong tendency for leaf or stem succulence with large cells with big vacuoles and often, but not always, special water storage tissues. Various CAM physiotypes with differing degrees of CAM expression are well characterized. d Output Output is the shaping of habitats, ecosystems and communities by CAM.

The Possible Causes of Leaf Spotting of Kalanchoe Blossfeldiana: Metabolic and Potential Methods of Their Control
PROGRESS IN PLANT PROTECTION/POSTĘPY W OCHRONIE ROŚLIN 52 (3) 2012 The possible causes of leaf spotting of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana: metabolic and potential methods of their control Przyczyny plamistości liści Kalanchoe blossfeldiana: zmiany metaboliczne i możliwości ochrony Anna Jarecka Boncela, Alicja Saniewska, Justyna Góraj, Marian Saniewski Summary The leaves of Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, a succulent grown in greenhouse conditions showed disease symptoms, such as yellow and gradually browning spots. The disease was caused by Pestalotia sp. In detached healthy leaves of K. blossfeldiana kept in the inverted position at natural light conditions red-violet anthocyanins were produced and accumulated. In detached leaves with disease symptoms caused by Pestalotia sp. kept in the same light conditions anthocyanins were not produced formed the disease spots at a distance about 5–10 mm from. The fungicides: Biosept Active, Signum 33 WG i Topsin M 500 SC significantly inhibited the growth and development of the fungi Pestalotia sp. Key words: Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, Pestalotia sp., metabolic reactions, anthocyanins formation, infection, leaves, fungicides Streszczenie Na liściach sukulenta Kalanchoe blossfeldiana rosnącego w warunkach szklarniowych, wystąpiły symptomy chorobowe. Testy chorobotwórczości wykazały, że główną przyczyną, początkowo drobnych żółtych plam, stopniowo brązowiejących i obejmujących znaczną część powierzchni górnej i dolnej strony liścia, jest grzyb Pestalotia sp. W odciętych zdrowych liściach K. blossfeldiana trzymanych na świetle w pozycji odwróconej, następowało nagromadzanie antocyjanów o barwie czerwono-fioletowej, natomiast w odciętych zainfekowanych liściach przez Pestalotia sp., trzymanych w tych samych warunkach na świetle, antocyjany nie tworzyły się w odległości około 5–10 mm od zainfekowanych plam. Badane fungicydy: Biosept Active, Signum 33 WG i Topsin M 500 SC silnie ograniczały wzrost i rozwój Pestalotia sp.

Abstract.Early development of lateral buds is demonstrated as one of the evocation events in Kalanchoes (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana Poelln.). Lateral buds of ‘Cactus Candy’, ‘Gelbe Melody’, and ‘Jupiter’ that were»5»5 mm long or less showed no signs of a change to the reproductive state after 21 short days. However, larger lateral buds for ‘Jupiter’ did show floral initiation while those of ‘Cactus Candy’ and ‘Gelbe Melody’ did not. Studies of the vascular arrangement indicate the presence of four dorsal and four ventral bundles connecting leaves to the stem. Vascular connections to lateral buds arise from vascular cambium but do not appear to connect to any of the bundles that supply leaves.

Christmas Flowers
HortFacts 60-03 CHRISTMAS PLANTS BRIGHTEN THE HOLIDAY SEASON Bob Anderson, Extension Specialist in Floriculture and Karen Shahan, Extension Staff Assistant The colorful plants that you have enjoyed during the Christmas holidays can be a reminder of the holiday season for many months. Correct care of these plants will make them a welcome addition to your collection of houseplants. Christmas plants, such as poinsettia, holiday cactus, Christmas pepper, kalanchoe, Jerusalem cherry or cyclamen, require a bright, sunny location in the home. Regular thorough watering whenever the soil is dry is also very important. A sunny location and regular watering are enough for these plants during December but more specialized care is necessary if you plan to have them flower again next Christmas. In January, you need to decide if you want to keep your Christmas plants or discard them. Christmas pepper, Jerusalem cherry and chrysanthemum should be discarded because they will not flower again. Do not discard poinsettia, holiday cactus, kalanchoe, or cyclamen until February. They will remain colorful if they are cared for properly. These plants can be kept as houseplants after February if you give them the conditions they require. Poinsettias and holiday cacti are relatively easy to grow while kalanchoes and cyclamen are more difficult. The major result of yearlong care of a Christmas plant is the large specimen plant you will have the following Christmas. It is easy to produce a poinsettia with 40 to 50 flowers from the same plant that had only six to eight flowers the year before. Holiday cacti will be two to five times as large next year with many flowers.
