  • ENCYCLOPEDIA of FOODS Part II
    ENCYCLOPEDIA OF FOODS Part II art I of this book reviewed the relationship of diet to health and provided recommenda- Ptions for choosing foods and planning diets that contribute to health. The healthiest diets are based on a variety of plant foods—whole grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nuts. Animal products and added fats and oils, sugars, and other sweeteners are best consumed in small quantities. The Food Guide Pyramid reviewed earlier in this book graphically emphasizes the proportions of these foods in the daily diet. Accordingly, we have arranged this section with priority given to grains, fruits, and vegetables—those items that should predominate at every meal and that most people need to consume in greater quantities. Animal products—meat and other high-protein foods and dairy foods—are also discussed. However, these are the foods that should make up relatively smaller parts of our diets. Part II introduces you to many foods from which you can choose and provides you with knowledge about the nutrients these foods have to offer. In addition, we provide informa- tion about the sources of the foods you purchase and eat—the individual plants and animals, how they are processed to the products that appear on store shelves, and some of the history of these foods in our diet. Before we introduce the foods themselves, we want to explain the arrangement and presentation of food items in these sections. Because this book is written for a North American audience, we have included food products that are available to most North Americans. Within the sections on Fruits and Vegetables, we have listed items by their common names in alphabetical order; when a food has more than one common name, the index should help in locating the item.

  • Kentucky Unwanted Plants
    Chapter 6 A Brief Guide to Kentucky’s Non-Native, Invasive Species, Common Weeds, and Other Unwanted Plants A publication of the Louisville Water Company Wellhead Protection Plan, Phase III Source Reduction Grant # X9-96479407-0 Chapter 6 A Brief Guide to Kentucky’s Non-native, Invasive Species, Common Weeds and Other Unwanted Plants What is an invasive exotic plant? A plant is considered exotic, (alien, foreign, non- indigenous, non-native), when it has been introduced by humans to a location outside its native or natural range. Most invasive, exotic plants have escaped cultivation or have spread from its origin and have become a problem or a potential problem in natural biological communities. For example, black locust, a tree that is native to the southern Appalachian region and portions of Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri, was planted throughout the U.S. for living fences, erosion control, and other uses for many years. Black locust is considered exotic outside its natural native range because it got to these places Kudzu is an invasive exotic plant that has spread by human introduction rather than by natural from Japan and China to become a large problem in dispersion. It has become invasive, displacing native much of the US. Local, state, and the federal species and adversely impacting ecosystems and governments spend millions of dollars per year to several endangered native bird species that depend on control the spread of kudzu. Even yearly control other plants for food, as well as several endangered may not be enough to successfully remove kudzu. Seeds can remain dormant in the plant species.

John Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan. Publication year: 2014 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1036/1097-8542.588000 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1036/1097-8542.588000) Content Bibliography Additional Readings An herbaceous perennial, Rheum rhaponticum, of Mediterranean origin, belonging to the plant order Polygonales in older botanical classifications or Caryophyllales in newer classifications. Rhubarb (see illustration) is grown for its thick petioles (stalks or stems that support the leaf blades), which are used mainly as a cooked dessert; frequently, it is called the pie-plant. The leaves, which are high in oxalic acid content, are not commonly considered edible. Propagation is by division of root crowns. Victoria, Macdonald, and Valentine are popular varieties (cultivars). Commercial production is limited generally to areas where crowns may become dormant for 2–3 months each year. Outdoor rhubarb is a common garden vegetable in most areas of the United States except the South. Harvesting begins in the spring and continues for 6–10 weeks. Commercial plantings are renewed every 4–8 years. In the United States, Michigan and Washington are important centers for forced or hothouse rhubarb. Two- or three-year-old field-grown crowns are moved into darkened forcing structures in late winter and forced at 55–60°F (12.8–15.6°C) to obtain petioles of a bright-red color.

  • Deer Resistant Plants for the Sierra Foothills
    Deer-Resistant Plants Page 1 Publication DEER-RESISTANT PLANTS FOR THE Number 1 31-113 SIERRA FOOTHILLS (ZONE 7 ) (revised July COMPILED BY UC Cooperative Extension Nevada County Master Gardeners 2003) EDITED BY Cindy Fake, Horticulture and Small Farms Advisor, Placer and Nevada Counties Various factors can make a plant resistant to deer. Many of the most resistant plants are poisonous, some at all times, and others only at certain stages of growth. Palatability of nontoxic plants also varies with plant age or with the seasons. Because of all these considerations, the following list of deer-resistant plans should be considered as a gen- eral guide only; deer will sometimes browse some of the plants listed--as they will sometimes avoid plants not listed. All young plants, shrubs, and trees should be protected from the deer until they get a chance to become somewhat established. Bold face indicates that the plant is particularly resistant. Few, if any, plant species are totally resistant to deer.

  • 8 Phylogenetic Relationships Using Restriction Site Variation of the Chloroplast DNA Inverted Repeat
    8 Phylogenetic Relationships Using Restriction Site Variation of the Chloroplast DNA Inverted Repeat STEPHEN R. DOWNIE and JEFFREY D. PALMER 8.1 Introduction Despite intensive multidisciplinary studies using nonmolecular characters, relationships among families comprising the Caryophyllales remain unclear. Recmistruction of phylogenies from molecular data has become an increas­ ingly common approach in systematics and has often provided valuable insight into historical relationships. Of the three genomes present in plants, the chloroplast genome is now the most widely used for phylogenetic inference. The chloroplast genomes of photosynthetic land plants are circular DNA molecules ranging in size from 120 to 217 kilobase pairs (kb) (Palmer 1985). Complete restriction maps are available for several species of Caryo­ phyllidae; their chloroplast genomes range between 147.and 158kb (Palmer 1982, 1985; Downie and Palmer 1992a). Chloroplast genomes contain, with few exceptions, two duplicate regions in reverse orientation known as the inverted repeat (IR). In a typical angiosperm chloroplast genome of 150 kb, each of the two IR copies is about 25 kb. These repeated regions separate the remainder of the molecule into large single-copy and small single-copy regions (Fig. 8.1). The expansion or contraction of the IR.into, or out of, adjacent single-copy regions·, and changes in sequence complexity due to insertion or deletion of unique sequences are largely responsible for variation in size of the molecule. Recent studies of chloroplast DNA ( cpDNA) genome evolution have revealed a high degree of conservatism in size, structure, primary sequence, gene content, and linear order of genes among major lineages of land plants (Palmer 1985, 1991; Palmer and Stein 1986; Downie and Palmer 1992a).
