  • Alternative Strategies for Clonal Plant Reproduction©
    Alternative Strategies for Clonal Plant Reproduction 269 Alternative Strategies for Clonal Plant Reproduction© Robert L. Geneve University of Kentucky, Department of Horticulture, Lexington, Kentucky 40546 U.S.A. Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Pick up any biology textbook and there will be a description of the typical sexual life cycle for plants. In higher plants, the life cycle starts with seed germination followed by vegetative growth leading to flower and gamete formation with the ultimate goal of creating genetically diverse offspring through seed production. The fern life cycle is more primitive but follows a similar progression from spore germi- nation to the gametophytic generation leading to sexual union of gametes resulting in the leafy sporophyte, which in turn creates the spores. Interestingly, plants have evolved unique alternative life cycles that bypass typi- cal seed production in favor of clonal reproduction systems. This may seem counter- intuitive because sexual reproduction should lead to greater genetic diversity in offspring compared to clonal plants. These sexual offspring should have a higher potential to adapt to new or changing environments, i.e., be more successful. How- ever, investing in clonal reproduction seems to increase the likelihood that a species can colonize specific environmental niches. It has been observed that many of the perennial species in a given ecosystem tend to combine both sexual and clonal forms of reproduction (Ellstrand and Roose, 1987). Additionally, unique clonal propaga- tion systems tend to be more prevalent in plants adapted to extreme environments like arctic, xerophytic, and Mediterranean climates. Mini-Review Objectives. The objective of this mini-review is to describe some of the ways plants have evolved clonal reproduction strategies that allow unique plants to colonize extreme environments.

  • Minnesota Dwarf Trout Lily: an Endangered Minnesota Wildflower.” Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, St
    Note: This digital document was adapted from Sather, N. 1990. “Minnesota dwarf trout lily: an endangered Minnesota wildflower.” Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, St. Paul. 9 pages. MINNESOTA DWARF TROUT LILY AN ENDANGERED MINNESOTA WILDFLOWER Photo by Welby Smith What is the Minnesota Dwarf Trout Lily? The Minnesota dwarf trout lily (Erythronium propullans) is a federally endangered forest wildflower found in Rice, Goodhue, and Steele Counties, Minnesota. Because it is known only from this small area the dwarf trout lily is considered a Minnesota “endemic” – i.e. a species that grows in Minnesota and nowhere else on earth. Populations range from one to over 100 colonies, with an average of around 30 colonies per population. Actual colony size ranges from a few plants to several hundred. The number of visible colonies and the number of plants visible within colonies is highly variable from year to year and does not appear to be easily associated with such factors as weather or snow depth. What does the Minnesota Dwarf Trout Lily look like? The Minnesota dwarf trout lily is distinguished from other trout lilies by its underground vegetative runner, from which the species takes its name “propullans” or “sprouting forth.” The blooming plant is readily identified by the very small size of its flowers. Flowers of the dwarf trout lily are about the size of a dime or less, pale pink, with a variable number of perianth parts (“petals”). Most members of the lily family have 6 “petals”, but dwarf trout lilies may have four, five or six. There are three species of trout lily in Minnesota: the Minnesota dwarf trout lily (Erythronium propullans), the white trout lily (Erythronium albidum), and the yellow trout lily (Erythronium americanum).

The dwarf trout lily occurs on fewer than 600 acres of woodland habitat, rich slopes domiyated by maple and basswood and adjoining floodplains dominated by elm and cottonwood. Like spring beauties and dutchman' s breeches. trout lilies are "spring ephemerals," adapted to flower and grow before the deciduous trees develop their leaves. When summer shade darkens the forest floor these plants have already bloomed, generated their food reserves for the coming year and lost their leaves.

N Almost all genera have narcotic properties, some of them being ‘highly prejudicial to animal life’. These properties are lessened by boiling heat or by drying, or heightened by spirits & sugar. Fruits are achenes, berries, or follicles. The BUTTERCUP family has many species with hydrophilic, or recalcitrant, seeds. Care must be taken in their proper use in restoration. The follicles of some species resemble medieval jester hats. Some Saxifragaceae produce similar fruits, ie the garden Peonie. why do you build me up (build me up) buttercup baby? just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around? and then worst of all (worst of all) you never call baby like you say you will (say you will) but I love you still I need you (I need you) more than anyone darlin you know that I have from the start so build me up (build me up) buttercup don’t break my heart Mike D’Abo & Tony Macaulay 1968 Folliculi, a typical fruit type in Ranunculaceae, on Aquilegia ACONITUM Linnaeus 1753 MONKSHOOD, ACONITE, WOLF-BANE Ranunculaceae Aconitum from the Latin name, aconitum, the Monk's Hood, a poisonous plant, from ancient Greek ακονιτον, akoniton, loosely translated as unconquerable poison or according to Pliny, the name aconite is from the Black Sea port of Aconis.

Once you have made the decision to establish a prairie plant community, it is important to develop a plan of action. This publication provides the specific steps you will need to consider and follow. There is an important distinction between the meaning of “restora- tion” and “reconstruction,” although you may hear the words used interchangeably. Prairie reconstruction or planting refers to reestab- lishing native plants such as prairie grasses and flowers on a site that probably grew there before being eliminated by lawns, crops, or other development.
