This study attempted to improve seed germination by testing the effect of several treatments including dry after-ripening (DAR), light, cold stratification (CS) and temperature gradient treatments. DAR increased germination at 15/5 and 25/15°C, as compared with fresh seeds. DAR seeds germinated significantly better (˃ 80%) at higher temperatures (20-28°C) than at lower (10°C, < 20%; 15°C, < 30%) and extreme high temperatures (30°C, < 55%; 32°C, 0%). Incubation at alternating temperature (25/15°C) did not significantly improve germination; whereas at 15/5°C germination increased significantly, compared with the corresponding constant temperature (20 and 10°C, respectively). DAR seeds had a strict light requirement at all temperatures.

It is largely the fruit of many pleasant hours of botanising by the author and a few others and as such reflects their particular interests. History of Plant Recording Peeblesshire is thinly populated and has had few resident botanists to record its flora. Also its upland terrain held little in the way of dramatic features or geology to attract outside botanists. Consequently the first list of the county’s flora with any pretension to completeness only became available in 1925 with the publication of the History of Peeblesshire (Eds, JW Buchan and H Paton). For this FRS Balfour and AB Jackson provided a chapter on the county’s flora which included a list of all the species known to occur. The first records were made by Dr A Pennecuik in 1715. He gave localities for 30 species and listed 8 others, most of which are still to be found. Thereafter for some 140 years the only evidence of interest is a few specimens in the national herbaria and scattered records in Lightfoot (1778), Watson (1837) and The New Statistical Account (1834-45).

First and foremost I would like to express my sincere and heartfelt gratitute to my supervisor Assoc. Prof. Dr. Karin Valant‐Vetschera for giving me the opportunity to join the “Chemodiversity Group”. I thank her for assuming the dual role of supervisor and mentor. During the years of my diploma and doctoral theses she has continuously offered me the best guidance, support and advice I could have asked for. I am very grateful to Dr. Lothar Brecker for the characterization and identification of the isolated compounds. Additionally, I thank him for his constant encouragement, support and valuable suggestions. In the lab I have always received invaluable technical support from Mag. Johann Schinnerl, for which I extend him my earnest thanks and appreciation. Prof. Dr. Harald Greger has been very kind and supportive throughout the years, which I gratefully appreciate. Thanks are also due to Prof. Dr. Irene Lichtscheidl and Dr. Wolfram Adlassnig for providing access to their laboratory equipment and for their excellent guidance. I am deeply indebted to Prof. Eckhard Wollenweber (Institut für Botanik der TU Darmstadt, Germany) for the constant supply of authentic flavonoid samples, which made my lab life a lot easier.

  • “It's All About Plants and Gardens”
    Plant Hunters’ Fairs 2020 Newsletter “It’s all about plants and gardens” Abbeywood Gardens in August “It’s all about plants and gardens” Welcome to our 2020 newsletter. A new decade with new challenges for gardeners, gardens and nurseryfolk. But as always, we will win through and look back on another year when our shared passion for plants has brought us together, helped us through the sticky spots and given us so much joy. It’s now 13 years since the fateful day we decided to ring our local garden, Dorothy Clive, and see if they fancied the idea of a plant fair. We can’t believe how it has snowballed from there with the help and support of you, our gardening friends, our nursery colleagues and our host gardens. If one sentence could sum up the ethos we created then, it would be “it’s all about plants and gardens.” And that still runs through everything we do today. Our 2020 newsletter hopefully lives up to that promise! Please enjoy and share with your gardening friends.

  • Mail Order Catalogue 2011 – 2012
    Mail order catalogue 2011 – 2012 What a year! • More snow than we have ever seen in Britain, which closed the nursery and delayed plant growth, then a hot, dry spring that more than made up for the delay, and then a long, wet, cool summer. For the first time we had a display at Chelsea, and almost every plant we planned to show was already over! • The good news is that our young plants have grown well, and we have a great list for you. Some are completely new, and others will be familiar to our regular customers. • Alpine and woodland plants are ideal for small gardens, giving variety and interest all through the year. • If you are uncertain how to begin, ask for help from our expert plant-list service. Best wishes, Stella and David Rankin You can buy our plants • by mail order using the form in the middle of this catalogue, all year, throughout the European Union. There is a minimum plant value of £25.00 per order, but if your order is £40 or more we give you an extra plant (our choice) free. When you order please include the plant code and write credit card details clearly. • through our on-line store, where you can order and pay on-line. This has many pictures, more detailed descriptions and is updated through the year. It has more plants, too – those for which numbers available are too small for them to be included in this printed catalogue. • at organised visits to the garden, or at shows, lectures, Edinburgh Farmer’s Market.
