The Physiology and Transcriptomics Underlying Dahlia Flower The Physiology and Transcriptomics Underlying Dahlia Flower Senescence A thesis submitted to Royal Holloway, University of London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Matthew Casey 2018 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Matthew Casey, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 2 Abstract Dahlias are a popular commercial flower due to their variety in colour and morphology. Unfortunately, they are currently not commercially viable as cut flowers due to an unreliable vase-life. Analysis of the cut flower trade suggests that minimum longevity needs to be 10-14 days from harvest to provide time for transport to a pack house and on to the supermarket, three days in-store shelf life, and still allow a 5-day consumer guarantee. Dahlia inflorescences present unique challenges due to their complex composite floral structure: florets develop sequentially within the capitulum hence in each flower head flowers of different ages are represented. Another problem has been the limited data on dahlia and the lack of conclusive data regarding ethylene sensitivity. Therefore it was necessary to address some key questions on dahlia during this project. Firstly, dahlia flower senescence was characterised and cut flower senescence compared to senescence on the plant. The response of cut dahlia to traditional and novel postharvest treatments, including ethylene inhibitors, exogenous phytohormones and sugars, and application methods, including sprays, pulses, and holding solutions was also analysed. It was found that treatment with ethylene action inhibitors and exogenous cytokinins may significantly extend dahlia vase life. Finally, RNA-sequencing has been carried out on material from three different developmental stages of dahlia flowers to examine transcriptomic changes during the process and analyse the process at a molecular level. The differential expression analysis of this data found upregulation of putative genes including ethylene biosynthetic genes and downregulation of cytokinin biosynthetic genes, along with changes in expression in the signalling pathways of both cytokinins and ethylene. This work will provide a database for further research on dahlia flower senescence. 3 Contents Declaration of Authorship 2 Abstract 3 Contents 4 List of Figures 9 List of Tables 10 List of Abbreviations 11 Acknowledgements & Dedication 12 1.

  • 2019 Is the Year of the Dahlia
    2019 is the Year of the Dahlia Did you know that the dahlia is the national flower of Mexico? The native dahlias found in the mountains of Mexico and Guatemala are the genetic source for the modern hybrid dahlias we grow today. There are many species of dahlia in a range of colors and forms with hybrids commonly grown as garden plants. The flower varies in size and form. Each flower can be small or large, ranging from 2” in diameter to up to 15 inches. The largest flower form is informally known as a “dinner plate” dahlia. Getting Dahlias There are several ways to enjoy your first dahlia. Most major garden centers, home improvement stores and mail order sources sell dahlia tubers (a thick, underground stem or rhizome) as well as blooming potted plants. A tuber looks like a sweet potato that grows under the soil surface and sends up strong stems. Additionally, almost every dahlia society has tuber and plant sales and they welcome guests to those events. When to Plant Your tubers can go directly into the ground in the spring when the ground is warm and there is little chance of frost. One good guideline is to plant at the same time as you would a tomato. If you want blooms as early as possible, you can start the tubers indoors in good light about a month before planting time. By starting early you could have a small plant ready to transplant at planting time. How to Plant Plant the tuber according to the package directions with the “eye” on the tuber facing up.

  • Of Dahlia Myths.Pub
    Cavanilles’ detailed illustrations established the dahlia in the botanical taxonomy In 1796, the third volume of “Icones” introduced two more dahlia species, named D. coccinea and D. rosea. They also were initially thought to be sunflowers and had been brought to Spain as part of the Alejandro Malaspina/Luis Neé expedition. More than 600 drawings brought the plant collection to light. Cavanilles, whose extensive correspondence included many of Europe’s leading botanists, began to develop a following far greater than his title of “sacerdote” (priest, in French Abbé) ever would have offered. The A. J. Cavanilles archives of the present‐day Royal Botanical Garden hold the botanist’s sizable oeu‐ vre, along with moren tha 1,300 letters, many dissertations, studies, and drawings. In time, Cavanilles achieved another goal: in 1801, he was finally appointed professor and director of the garden. Regrettably, he died in Madrid on May 10, 1804. The Cavanillesia, a tree from Central America, was later named for this famousMaterial Spanish scientist. ANDERS DAHL The lives of Dahl and his Spanish ‘godfather’ could not have been any more different. Born March 17,1751, in Varnhem town (Västergötland), this Swedish botanist struggled with health and financial hardship throughout his short life. While attending school in Skara, he and several teenage friends with scientific bent founded the “Swedish Topographic Society of Skara” and sought to catalogue the natural world of their community. With his preacher father’s support, the young Dahl enrolled on April 3, 1770, at Uppsala University in medicine, and he soon became one of Carl Linnaeus’ students.

  • Number 35 July-September
    THE BULB NEWSLETTER Number 35 July-September 2001 Amana lives, long live Among! ln the Kew Scientist, Issue 19 (April 2001), Kew's Dr Mike Fay reports on the molecular work that has been carried out on Among. This little tulip«like eastern Asiatic group of Liliaceae that we have long grown and loved as Among (A. edulis, A. latifolla, A. erythroniolde ), but which took a trip into the genus Tulipa, should in fact be treated as a distinct genus. The report notes that "Molecular data have shown this group to be as distinct from Tulipa s.s. [i.e. in the strict sense, excluding Among] as Erythronium, and the three genera should be recognised.” This is good news all round. I need not change the labels on the pots (they still labelled Among), neither will i have to re~|abel all the as Erythronlum species tulips! _ Among edulis is a remarkably persistent little plant. The bulbs of it in the BN garden were acquired in the early 19605 but had been in cultivation well before that, brought back to England by a plant enthusiast participating in the Korean war. Although not as showy as the tulips, they are pleasing little bulbs with starry white flowers striped purplish-brown on the outside. It takes a fair amount of sun to encourage them to open, so in cool temperate gardens where the light intensity is poor in winter and spring, pot cultivation in a glasshouse is the best method of cultivation. With the extra protection and warmth, the flowers will open out almost flat.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page.

Accepted 15 October, 2013 Twelve genotypes of gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) were evaluated to determine the genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, and genetic advance as percent of mean for 13 contributing characters. Significant variations were recorded for the various characters studied. Phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation were highest for the number of leaves per plant, number of clumps per plant and leaf area index, indicating presence of sufficient genetic variability for selection in these traits. High heritability and high genetic advance for number of leaves per plant, leaf area index and fresh weight indicated the presence of additive gene effects in these traits and their amicability for direct selection. The non additive gene effects were evident in petal thickness, hollowness of the stalk, fresh weight, flower diameter, stalk diameter and neck diameter thus, warranting use of heterosis breeding for these characters. The selection on the basis of number of leaves per plant, number of clumps per plant and leaf area index will be more effective for further breeding programme. Key words: Gerbera, heritability, variability, genetic advance, phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation.
