Ranuncu-Z,aceae) found. in Australia was revised. Previous authors had determined that å. annuus L.emend Huds. (Syn. ¿. autumnal-is L.) and A. aestiva-Zis L. were presenÈ. Examination of the Australian material revealed general uniformity in all characters except that some variaÈion was found in achene ornamen- tation, in particular, the degree of dentation of the transverse crest. It was coneluded that all the material was referable to A. dentatus DeI. ssp. microcarpus (oc.¡ Riedl or A. dentatus sçp" intermedius (We¡¡ et Berth.) Riedl. These taxa were shown'to be virtually indistinguishable except for the degree of dentation of the transverse crest. Recent authors have considered them mutually synonymous and to be included in å. microcatpus Dc. It r^ras found that adequate material for taxonomic determination must meet certain criteria. The achenes must be fully mature' contain a normaf seed and be low on the carpellary spike. Previous errors in determínation were attributed to these criteria not being met. A comparíson of plants grown in favourable and' adverse environments revealed the limits of morphological differences in South Australia, and a full description of the species and complete herbarium records for Australia are given.

  • Plant Policy Small-Fruited Pheasant's Eye (Adonis Microcarpa)
    Plant Policy small-fruited pheasant’s eye (Adonis microcarpa) Small-fruited pheasant’s eye is an annual with a limited distribution in rotational cropping paddocks. Weed risk Invasiveness Although its seed production is high, small-fruited pheasant’s eye depends on transport as a contaminant of fodder or seed for its dispersal. Impacts Small-fruited pheasant’s eye is not a serious competitor with cereal crops, where it is easily controlled by herbicides. There is no herbicide treatment in the legume pasture phase, and control depends on pasture management and treatment in the cropping phase of the rotation. Small-fruited pheasant's eye contains cardiac glycosides that may stock deaths when fed in hay, or as seeds contaminating grain fed to poultry or pigs. Potential distribution Pheasant's eye needs an annual rainfall over 300 mm, winter monthly temperature minima over 4.5oC and calcareous soils. It has not yet reached its ecological limits in SA, being largely dependent on fodder and seed movement for any further dispersal. Feasibility of Containment The species was proclaimed for active control only in those board areas where it had been perceived as creating a problem in the pasture phase of rotational farming. State Level Risk Assessment Assessment using the Biosecurity SA Weed Risk Management System gave the following comparative weed risk and feasibility of containment scores by land use: Land use Weed Risk Feasibility Response at of control State Level low very high Crop/pasture rotation monitor 18 6 Considerations Small-fruited pheasant's eye was introduced as a garden annual in the around 1890 and was first found naturalised at Roseworthy in 1915.

  • Anatomical and Micromorphological Peculiarities of Adonis Vernalis L
    Pak. J. Bot., 43(2): 811-820, 2011. ANATOMICAL AND MICROMORPHOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF ADONIS VERNALIS L. (RANUNCULACEAE) IRINA NETA GOSTIN Department of Plant Science “Al. I. Cuza” University Iasi, Faculty of Biology, 700506, Romania Abstract Adonis vernalis is a pontic element and rare plant distributed in grassland communities in the South-East Europe steppe zone. Histo-anatomical and micromorphological investigations regarding root, stem and leaves was carried out in order to emphasize the adaptation of this species to the living environment. The root acquires early secondary structure by cambium activity; the exodermis shows Casparian bands. Root epidermis consists of cells with thickened walls; the absorbent hairs are absent. The stem has primary structure from the top to the basis. The vascular bundles, of different dimensions are arranged in a circle. Cortical bundles, of collateral and concentric types, were also observed. The sclerenchyma sheaths from the periphery of the vascular bundles become visible at the stem basis. The tector hairs are present only on young leaves. The anatomy of vegetative organs showed some xerophytic structures, but the majority of their features are those of typical mesophytes. These features are correlated with the plant life cycle. Introduction The ephemeroid Adonis vernalis L., is a pontic element (Akeroyd, 1993) distributed in the South-East Europe steppe zone and is characteristic for different xerothermic associations of continental-submediterranean type, belonging to Festucetalia valesiaceae (Denisow et al., 2008). Its main distribution area ranges from the Eastern part of middle Europe through East and South East Europe, Western Siberia to Eastern Siberia reaching the Jenissei region (Akeroyd, 1993).

Introduction Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) regulates noxious weeds under the authority of the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000) and the Federal Seed Act (7 U.S.C. § 1581-1610, 1939). A noxious weed is defined as “any plant or plant product that can directly or indirectly injure or cause damage to crops (including nursery stock or plant products), livestock, poultry, or other interests of agriculture, irrigation, navigation, the natural resources of the United States, the public health, or the environment” (7 U.S.C. § 7701-7786, 2000). We use the PPQ weed risk assessment (WRA) process (PPQ, 2015) to evaluate the risk potential of plants, including those newly detected in the United States, those proposed for import, and those emerging as weeds elsewhere in the world.

  • Adonis Vernalis
    The European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products Veterinary Medicines Evaluation Unit EMEA/MRL/543/98-FINAL December 1998 COMMITTEE FOR VETERINARY MEDICINAL PRODUCTS ADONIS VERNALIS SUMMARY REPORT 1. Adonis vernalis L., synonym Pheasant's eye, is a plant species of the family Ranunculaceae. The mother tincture of Adonis vernalis is prepared by ethanolic extraction of the aerial parts of the fresh, flowering plant according to the German Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia (HAB) or by using the total plant according to the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeias of France and the USA. The dilution 1:100 is containing a maximum of 1% of the original plant material. The degree of extractability of the plant constituents by homeopathic manufacturing procedures is not known. The use follows the principles of homeopathic therapy where animals are diagnosed on basis of the individual pattern of clinical signs. A usual dose for a parenteral administration is in the range from 5 ml for pig, sheep and goat to 10 ml for horse and cattle once daily. Dosing may be repeated but a fixed dosage schedule is not common in homeopathy. It was not indicated if the substance is used orally. In human phytotherapy Adonis vernalis preparations are used against cardiac dysfunction mostly in combination with other active principles of plant origin. Standardised adonis drug powder contains about 0.25% cardiac glycosides (i.e. 250 mg/100 g) and is adjusted to a pharmacological activity equivalent to 0.2% cymarin. The oral intake of a median daily dose of 0.6 g drug powder corresponds to 1.5 mg cardenolides, the maximum single dose of 1 g contains 2.5 mg cardenolides and the maximum daily dose of 3 g up to 7.5 mg.

SÁNCHEZ SÁNCHEZ Departamento de Biología Vegetal, Facultad de Biología, Salamanca. Resumen. Se estudian los caracteres polinicos de 25 poblaciones pertenecientes a las 6 especies peninsulares del género Adonis L., al MO y al MEB. Se utilizan métodos estadísticos y se discute el valor de la morfología polinica en la taxonomía del género. Summary. Ponen samples derived from 25 populations of the 6 species of the genus Adonis L. which occur in the Iberian Peninsula were studied by means of light and scanning electron microscopy. The data were subjected to a stadistical analysis and the value ofpollen morphology in the taxonomy of the genus evaluated. INTRODUCCION En los estudios más recientes sobre el género Adonis L. en la Península Ibérica se diferencian 6 especies de las que dos son perennes, con 10 o más pétalos y anteras amarillas (A. pyrenaica D.C. y A. vernalis L.) y, cuatro anuales, con 8 o menos pétalos y anteras negro-violáceas (A. aestivalis L., A. annua L., A. flammea Jacq. y A. microcarpa DC.), que se incluyen respecti- vamente en dos secciones, a saber: Sec. Consiligo DC. y Sec. Adonis DC. Sin embargo, a la hora de reconocer y establecer categorías infraespecíficas existe cierta disparidad de criterios (Rico, 1986; VALDÉS, 1986; FERNÁNDEZ, 1986). Esto nos animó a abordar el estudio palinológico de todas las especies peninsulares, a fin de apreciar las posibles diferencias entre los taxa estable- cidos. 170 MATERIAL Y METODOS Hemos utilizado tanto material fresco como material seco procedente del herbario SALA, estudiando un total de 30 poblaciones de las que 25 reciben tratamiento estadístico.

Abstract: Adonis amurensis is a perennial herbaceous flower that blooms in early spring in northeast China, where the night temperature can drop to −15 ◦C. To understand flowering time regulation and floral organogenesis of A. amurensis, the MIKCc-type MADS (Mcm1/Agamous/ Deficiens/Srf)-box genes were identified and characterized from the transcriptomes of the flower organs. In this study, 43 non-redundant MADS-box genes (38 MIKCc, 3 MIKC*, and 2 Mα) were identified. Phylogenetic and conserved motif analysis divided the 38 MIKCc-type genes into three major classes: ABCDE model (including AP1/FUL, AP3/PI, AG, STK, and SEPs/AGL6), suppressor of overexpression of constans1 (SOC1), and short vegetative phase (SVP). qPCR analysis showed that the ABCDE model genes were highly expressed mainly in flowers and differentially expressed in the different tissues of flower organs, suggesting that they may be involved in the flower organ identity of Citation: Ren, L.; Sun, H.; Dai, S.; A. amurensis.
