    • STUDY ON GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT AND SOME BIOCHEMICAL ASPECTS OF SEVERAL VARIETIES OF Nerine by KUMALA DEWI partia,1 Submitted in,fulfilment of the requirements for the A degree of Master of Science Studies Department of Plant Science University of Tasmania May, 1993 DECLARATION To the best of my knowledge and belief, this thesis contains no material which has been submitted for the award of any other degree or diploma, nor does it contain any paraphrase of previously published material except where due reference is made in the text. Kumala Dewi ii ABSTRACT Nerine fothergillii bulbs were stored at different temperatures for a certain period of time and then planted and grown in an open condition. The effect of the different storage temperatures on carbohydrate -; content and endogenous gibberellins w Ct,5 examined in relation to flowering. Flowering percentage and flower number in each umbel was reduced when the bulbs were stored at 300 C while bulbs which received 50 C treatment possess earlier flowering and longer flower stalksthan bulbs without 5 0 C storage treatment. Carbohydrates in both outer and inner scales of N. fothergillii were examined semi-quantitatively by paper chromatography. Glucose, fructose and sucrose have been identified from paper chromatogramS. Endogenous gibberellins in N. fothergillii have been identified by GC - SIM and full mass spectra from GCMS. These include GA19, GA20 and G Al, their presence suggests the occurence of the early 13 - hydroxylation pathway. The response of N. bowdenii grown under Long Day (LD) and Short Day (SD) conditions w as studied. Ten plants from each treatment were examined at intervalsof 4 weeks.

  • Alplains 2013 Seed Catalog P.O
    ALPLAINS 2013 SEED CATALOG P.O. BOX 489, KIOWA, CO 80117-0489, U.S.A. Three ways to contact us: FAX: (303) 621-2864 (24 HRS.) email: [email protected] website: www.alplains.com Dear Growing Friends: Welcome to our 23rd annual seed catalog! The summer of 2012 was long, hot and brutal, with drought afflicting most of the U.S. Most of my botanical explorations were restricted to Idaho, Wash- ington, Oregon and northern California but even there moisture was below average. In a year like this, seeps, swales, springs, vestigial snowbanks and localized rainstorms became much more important in my search for seeding plants. On the Snake River Plains of southern Idaho and the scab- lands of eastern Washington, early bloomers such as Viola beckwithii, V. trinervata, Ranunculus glaberrimus, Ranunculus andersonii, Fritillaria pudica and Primula cusickiana put on quite a show in mid-April but many populations could not set seed. In northern Idaho, Erythronium idahoense flowered extensively, whole meadows were covered with thousands of the creamy, pendant blossoms. One of my most satisfying finds in the Hells Canyon area had to be Sedum valens. The tiny glaucous rosettes, surround- ed by a ring of red leaves, are a succulent connoisseur’s dream. Higher up, the brilliant blue spikes of Synthyris missurica punctuated the canyon walls. In southern Oregon, the brilliant red spikes of Pedicularis densiflora lit up the Siskiyou forest floor. Further north in Oregon, large populations of Erythronium elegans, Erythronium oregonum ssp. leucandrum, Erythro- nium revolutum, trilliums and sedums provided wonderful picture-taking opportunities. Eriogonum species did well despite the drought, many of them true xerics.

  • Bright Spots Plant Material Location
    Bright Spots A SELF GUIDED WALKING TOUR September 13, 2017 Did you know…? Usually when we think of azaleas we think of Spring, but there are some beauties abloom in the garden right now. These are reblooming azaleas. They have already produced Spring flowers for Virginia’s Garden Week, and now they are contributing to Fall color. Many of these plants are patented under the name Encore® azalea. They first became available in the late 1990s, the work of Robert E. “Buddy” Lee, a plant breeder and nurseryman from Louisiana. This group derives from a cross between spring blooming azaleas and Rhododendron oldhamii “Fourth of July”. The garden’s Plant Explorer database lists 22 varieties of Encore® azaleas. Many have the word “Autumn” in their cultivar name. Several are in bloom now, including ‘Autumn Royalty’ and ‘Autumn Sundance’ listed below. Not much published material is available on these rebloomers, but the article by Will Ferrell (not the actor) in The Azalean (below) is a knowledgeable evaluation of the merits of many specific cultivars. Besides the Encore® series there are at least two other patented reblooming lines: ReBLOOM™ Azaleas by breeder Bob Head and Bloom-a-thon from Monrovia. To sow confusion, I must note that the Azalea ‘August to Frost’ with its bright white blossoms (along the Flagler walk) is not considered a rebloomer. It was hybridized by M. B. Matlack in 1940, possibly a cross between R. mucronatum var. mucronatum and an unknown species.

  • Van Zyverden's
    Van Zyverden’s ALLIUM KARATAVIENSE Allium are in the same family as garlic, onions, chives and shallots. This makes gardeners wonder if they should include them in their ornamental gardening plans, as it conjures up images of supermarket produce. But because good garden designs are often made up of different shapes, allium’s rounded blooms make for high drama and interest in the garden. The Allium group gets more popular annually, from over 300 species to choose. They amaze everyone, and few plants create this kind of wow in the garden. We will be adding many new varieties shortly. Leaves and bulbs Commonly called Turkistan onion Deer and rodent resistant have a mild onion-like aroma when cut or bruised. About This Variety: Allium Karataviense is a compact, bulbous perennial that is ornamentally grown for both its foliage and its flowers. It is native to the Karatau Mountains (hence the specific epithet) in Kazakhstan. Broad-elliptic, spreading, gray-green, basal leaves appear in pairs. Leaves are sometimes mottled with purple. In late spring, a short but sturdy flowering stem rises from the center of each leaf pair. Each flowering stem is topped with a large spherical flower head containing tiny, star-shaped, dull pink florets. Flowers bloom in early summer. Flowers have a mild fragrance. Growing Instructions: As Alliums do not like wet feet, find a sunny location where the soil drains well or try to improve the drainage. The bulbs will rot in wet areas. Aside from that, almost no maintenance is required. Care Tip: Dig, divide, and replant bulbs after a few years of decreasing flower production.

    The role of starch in the day/night re-programming of stomata in plants with Crassulacean Acid Metabolism Natalia Hurtado Castano Doctor of Philosophy School of Natural and Environmental Sciences February 2020 Declaration This thesis is submitted to Newcastle University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The research detailed within was performed between the years 2015-2019 and it was supervised by Professor Anne Borland and Professor Jeremy Barnes. I certify that none of the material offered in this thesis has been previously submitted by me for a degree or any other qualification at this or any other university. Natalia Hurtado Castano ii Abstract Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a specialised type of photosynthesis characterised by the unique inverted stomatal rhythm, which increases water use efficiency (WUE) and enhances the potential for sustainable biomass production in warmer and drier conditions. Starch turnover in the mesophyll of CAM species supports nocturnal CO2 assimilation and CAM activity. In C3 plants, starch metabolism has been reported to play an important role in determining stomatal behaviour; in this case, guard cell starch degradation is triggered by blue light, producing osmolytes that promotes stomatal opening. Based on the importance of starch and the little knowledge regarding CAM stomatal behaviour, this study tested the hypothesis that starch metabolism has been re-programmed in CAM plants to enable nocturnal stomatal opening, by using biochemical and genetic characterisation of wild type and RNAi lines with curtailed starch metabolism in the constitutive CAM species Kalanchoë fedtschenkoi. Measurements of guard cell starch content over 24 hours in wild type plants of K.
