Garden Mastery Tips March 2006 from Clark County Master Gardeners
Garden Mastery Tips March 2006 from Clark County Master Gardeners Flowering Quince Flowering quince is a group of three hardy, deciduous shrubs: Chaenomeles cathayensis, Chaenomeles japonica, and Chaenomeles speciosa. Native to eastern Asia, flowering quince is related to the orchard quince (Cydonia oblonga), which is grown for its edible fruit, and the Chinese quince (Pseudocydonia sinensis). Flowering quince is often referred to as Japanese quince (this name correctly refers only to C. japonica). Japonica is often used regardless of species, and flowering quince is still called Japonica by gardeners all over the world. The most commonly cultivated are the hybrid C. superba and C. speciosa, not C. japonica. Popular cultivars include ‘Texas Scarlet,’ a 3-foot-tall plant with red blooms; ‘Cameo,’ a double, pinkish shrub to five feet tall; and ‘Jet Trail,’ a white shrub to 3 feet tall. Flowering quince is hardy to USDA Zone 4 and is a popular ornamental shrub in both Europe and North America. It is grown primarily for its bright flowers, which may be red, pink, orange, or white. The flowers are 1 to 2 inches in diameter, with five petals, and bloom in late winter or early spring. The glossy dark green leaves appear soon after flowering and turn yellow or red in autumn. The edible quince fruit is yellowish-green with reddish blush and speckled with small dots. The fruit is 2 to 4 inches in diameter, fragrant, and ripens in fall. The Good The beautiful blossoms of flowering quince Flowering quince is an easy-to-grow, drought-tolerant shrub that does well in shady spots as well as sun (although more sunlight will produce better flowers).

Scientific Update on the Iodine Content of Portuguese Foods Scientific Update on the Iodine Content of Portuguese Foods Abstract
Scientific update on the iodine content of Portuguese foods Scientific update on the iodine content of Portuguese foods Abstract Iodine is an essential trace element in human and animal diets. However, mild to moderate iodine deficiency has been reported in several countries. Food is the natural source of iodine. Detectable analytical values, expressed in SI units (μg/kg), are required to guarantee reliable measurement results used to estimate iodine intake over time at national and international level. The aim of this work, conducted as an activity of the WHO Collaborating Centre for Nutrition and Childhood Obesity, was to develop a database of the iodine content of foods in order to predict nutritional adequacy of dietary intake. This database may be used as a tool to promote iodine intake through consumption of foods rich in iodine.

The mpI ortance of Geographic and Biological Variables in Predicting the Naturalization of Non-Native Woody Plants in the Upper Midwest Abstract The es lection, introduction, and cultivation of non-native woody plants beyond their native ranges can have great benefits, but also unintended consequences. Among these consequences is the tendency for some species to naturalize and become invasive pests in new environments to which they were introduced. In lieu of lengthy and costly field trials, risk-assessment models can be used to predict the likelihood of naturalization.

Original Research Article
1 Original Research Article 2 3 THE MALOIDEAE (ROSACEAE) STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL FEATURES 4 DETERMINING PASSIVE IMMUNITY TO MYCOSIS 5 6 7 With the help of microscopic methods the leaves and fruits surface tissues of plants of four 8 genera of the Maloideae subfamily were screened: Malus Mill., Pyrus L., Cydonia Mill., 9 Mespilus L., as model objects, and attempts were made to explain the dependence of mycosis 10 damage on microstructural features. The species composition of fungi that cause damage to the 11 Maloideae leaves and fruits in the Russia southern regions is analyzed. It is established that 12 among pathogens with different types of parasitism there are common excitants, as well as 13 highly specialized, more represented on Mespilus germanica. Higher resistance to the complex 14 of fungal diseases, in comparison with apple and pear, was found in quince and medlar. This 15 stability at the initial stage of the pathological process is associated with structural features such 16 as micromorphology of the fruits and stomata cuticle in the abaxial leaves epidermis. The leaves 17 stomatal cracks of the medlar are narrow with raised outgrowths, on the surface of the fruit – the 18 layered structure of the cuticular layer. Quince has a powerful continuous cuticular cover. 19 Compared with Malus and Pyrus, Cydonia and Mespilus also have a large (30 % or more) 20 polyphenol content in the pericarp outer layer cells. In addition to the gender-specific differences 21 in the microstructure of the integumentary tissues and the content of polyphenols affecting the 22 resistance to pathogens at the stage of their penetration, general patterns of leaf surface 23 formation, such as hypostomacy, anomocytic stomata, folded microrelief of the cuticular surface, 24 and the presence of single and multicellular trichomes are noted.

Crataegus Laevigata 'Crimson Cloud' 'Crimson Cloud' English Hawthorn
Fact Sheet ST-211 November 1993 Crataegus laevigata ‘Crimson Cloud’ ‘Crimson Cloud’ English Hawthorn1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Crimson Cloud (also known as ‘Superba’) English Hawthorn grows rapidly in a pyramidal form to about 20 feet, then the crown expands to become oval or irregular (Fig. 1). The tree tolerates most soils, growing well in clay, but prefers heavy, dry loam. The main ornamental feature is white and red flowers borne in spring which together give the tree a deep pink color. Fruits are red and quite showy but do not cover the tree. Though quite ornamental, Hawthorns are susceptible to insect and disease problems. Branching habit is decidedly drooping and care should be given when locating this tree near pedestrian or vehicular traffic. GENERAL INFORMATION Figure 1.

Kviklysa*, S. Ruisab, K. Rumpunenc aLithuanian Institute of Horticulture, Babtai, Lithuania b Dobele Horticultural Plant Breeding Experimental Station, Dobele, Latvia cBalsgård–Department of Horticultural Plant Breeding, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Kristianstad, Sweden *Correspondence to [email protected] SUMMARY In this paper, advice for establishment and management of Japanese quince (Chaenomeles japonica) orchards is summarised. Japanese quince is a minor fruit crop in Latvia and Lithuania, currently being developed by plant breeding research. Preferences for site and soil are discussed and recommendations for planting and field management are proposed. INTRODUCTION Among the four known Chaenomeles species native to China, Tibet and Japan, Japanese quince (Chaenomeles japonica) is the species best adapted to the North European climate and it has been intro- duced as a minor fruit crop in Latvia and Lithuania (Rumpunen 2002, Tiits 1989, Tics 1992). At present, we are aware of only one active plant breeding programme that is aimed at improving Japanese quince as a fruit crop. This programme is being jointly conducted by the Department of Plant Biology, Helsinki University, Finland; Dobele Horticultural Plant Breeding Experimental Station, Latvia; the Lithuanian Institute of Horticulture, Lithuania and Balsgård–Department of Horticultural Plant Breeding, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Sweden (Rumpunen 2002). As a first step to improve Japanese quince, phenotypic selection has taken place in orchards in Latvia and Lithuania. Superior selections have been cloned and planted in comparative field trials in Finland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania and Sweden.
