KNEZ SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ANTHROPOLOGY • NUMBER 39 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

  • Deer Management in the Garden
    DEER MANAGEMENT IN THE GARDEN Deer can be a nuisance at times to gardeners in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. As development alters habitats and eliminates predators, deer have adapted to suburban life and their population has grown, increasing the demand and competition for food. In some areas, landscape plants have become one of their food sources. When food is limited, deer may eat plants they normally don’t touch to satisfy their hunger. Although no plant is deer proof, you can make your garden less inviting to wildlife. Below are several strategies, including a list of plants that have been shown that deer dislike in order to discourage these uninvited guests. Deer will continue to adapt to their changing environment, and you’ll need to continue trying different control strategies. But with just a little planning, you can have a beautiful garden and co-exist with deer. METHODS OF DEER MANAGEMENT EXCLUSION: A physical barrier is the most effective method to keep deer from foraging. A 7’ tall fence is required to be effective. Deer fencing should be within easy view of the deer and should lean out towards the deer, away from your garden. A fine mesh is used for the black plastic fencing, which does not detract from the beauty of your landscape. If fencing is not practical, drape deer netting over vulnerable plants. Anchor or fasten deer netting to the ground to prevent the deer from pulling it off of the plants. REPELLENTS: Deer repellents work either through taste, scent, or a combination of both.

  • Accd Nuclear Transfer of Platycodon Grandiflorum and the Plastid of Early
    Hong et al. BMC Genomics (2017) 18:607 DOI 10.1186/s12864-017-4014-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access accD nuclear transfer of Platycodon grandiflorum and the plastid of early Campanulaceae Chang Pyo Hong1, Jihye Park2, Yi Lee3, Minjee Lee2, Sin Gi Park1, Yurry Uhm4, Jungho Lee2* and Chang-Kug Kim5* Abstract Background: Campanulaceae species are known to have highly rearranged plastid genomes lacking the acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) subunit D gene (accD), and instead have a nuclear (nr)-accD. Plastid genome information has been thought to depend on studies concerning Trachelium caeruleum and genome announcements for Adenophora remotiflora, Campanula takesimana, and Hanabusaya asiatica. RNA editing information for plastid genes is currently unavailable for Campanulaceae. To understand plastid genome evolution in Campanulaceae, we have sequenced and characterized the chloroplast (cp) genome and nr-accD of Platycodon grandiflorum, a basal member of Campanulaceae. Results: We sequenced the 171,818 bp cp genome containing a 79,061 bp large single-copy (LSC) region, a 42,433 bp inverted repeat (IR) and a 7840 bp small single-copy (SSC) region, which represents the cp genome with the largest IR among species of Campanulaceae. The genome contains 110 genes and 18 introns, comprising 77 protein-coding genes, four RNA genes, 29 tRNA genes, 17 group II introns, and one group I intron. RNA editing of genes was detected in 18 sites of 14 protein-coding genes. Platycodon has an IR containing a 3′ rps12 operon, which occurs in the middle of the LSC region in four other species of Campanulaceae (T. caeruleum, A. remotiflora, C.

Pomroy Olga Lakela Herbarium Department of Biology University of Minnesota Duluth, MN 55812-3003 [email protected] Rumex stenophyllus Ledeb. (Polygonaceae). Narrowleaf Dock. Previous knowledge: Rumex stenophyllus is a herbaceous perennial native to moist, often saline, soils from central Europe to central Asia (Löve & Bernard 1958). Its known naturalized North American range (Löve & Bernard 1958, USDA 2004) comes nearest to Wisconsin in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota (Ownbey & Morley 1991). Significance. Two populations of R. stenophyllus were found in Superior, Wisconsin, apparently the first known for the state. Both included numerous in- dividuals in tall weedy herbaceous vegetation on upland clay soil. A soil test of the Catlin site found the electrical conductivity to be 0.3 dS/m, which is a non- saline value (Lal 2002). 1 WISCONSIN.

  • Botanist Interior 38.3
    38 THE MICHIGAN BOTANIST Vol. 38 NOTEWORTHY COLLECTIONS MINNESOTA DIGITALIS GRANDIFLORA Miller (Scrophulariaceae). Yellow Foxglove. Previous knowledge. Digitalis grandiflora is a biennial or perennial native to Eurasia, where it grows in woods (Tutin et al. 1972). In eastern North America, D. grandiflora occasionally escapes from cultivation (Magee & Ahles 1999). D. grandiflora has been reported outside of cultivation from Baraga and Houghton Counties in upper Michigan (Voss 1996). We are not aware of other collections from the upper Great Lakes. Significance. A population of D. grandiflora was found in Duluth, Minnesota, apparently the first escape of this species in the state. The plants were on a steep, open northeast-facing bank about 1 km from Lake Superior. This is a residential neighborhood, in which the population’s founders may have been cultivated. The species was absent from a similar bank across the avenue, suggesting that spread by seed is weak. The plants had large rhizomes bearing numerous scars from flowering stems, and have been observed flowering vigorously every year since their discovery. We infer that D. grandiflora behaves as a perennial in this envi- ronment, allowing it to persist and spread locally even if reproduction by seed is ineffective. This species contains some of the same cardiac glycosides as D. lanata Ehrh. and D. purpurea L. (Hollman 1985), suggesting that caution be taken to prevent skin contact or ingestion by humans, livestock, or pets. MINNESOTA. ST.

The total genome length of Adenophora divaricata, Adenophora erecta, and Adenophora stricta ranged from 159,759 OPEN ACCESS to 176,331 bp. Among the eight Campanuloid species, many inversions were found to be Citation: Cheon K-S, Kim K-A, Yoo K-O (2017) The only in the LSC region.

Phylogenetic analyses based on 76 protein coding genes showed that Cam- Adenophora species and comparative analysis with panuloids are monophyletic, and are composed of two major groups: Campanula s. str. and Campanuloid species (Campanulaceae).
