I'm pleased to be able to offer a good selection of galanthus this year, although there are only a few of each one available, since I will only send flowering sized bulbs, and my stocks are recovering from the 2010-2011 winter. There are also some new and VERY rare narcissi available for the first time in the UK. I'm currently attempting to construct my new website (cue much wailing and gnashing of teeth) so hopefully soon you'll be able to access better photos of the plants online. I hope you enjoy browsing, and look forward to hearing from you. PLEASE NOTE – MOST ITEMS ARE IN VERY LIMITED NUMBERS, SO PLEASE APPLY EARLY, most items are in very limited numbers, so please apply early, LAST DATE FOR ORDERS END OF JULY, as I will replant any unsold bulbs then. Orders will be dealt with in the order in which they arrive. Dispatch will begin in July, or as soon as bulbs can be harvested. Snowdrops, celandines and anemones will be damp-packed for posting. Please note that occasionally a rogue seedling finds its way in, so if you end up with the wrong flower, please let me know and I will replace it. All bulbs should be flowering size. Postage and Packaging - A single bulb - £1-50 Other orders containing only dry bulbs - £3-50. Orders containing damp-packed items – £4-50. Parcels will be sent by first class post, recorded delivery, so will need to be signed for. PAYMENT PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH. Owing to the short supply of many items, please send a limited cheque i.e. leave the amount blank, but write 'not to exceed (here put in the maximum amount of order)' at top of cheque, date and sign it. PLEASE MAKE CHEQUES PAYABLE TO MRS A WRIGHT EU orders - delivery charged at cost airmail (signed for), payment by Paypal or sterling draft. Please email for details.

  • Bulb Dormancy in Vitro—Fritillaria Meleagris: Initiation, Release and Physiological Parameters
    plants Review Bulb Dormancy In Vitro—Fritillaria meleagris: Initiation, Release and Physiological Parameters Marija Markovi´c*, Milana Trifunovi´cMomˇcilov , Branka Uzelac , Sladana¯ Jevremovi´c and Angelina Suboti´c Department of Plant Physiology, Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stankovi´c“—NationalInstitute of the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, Bulevar Despota Stefana 142, 11060 Belgrade, Serbia; [email protected] (M.T.M.); [email protected] (B.U.); [email protected] (S.J.); [email protected] (A.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In ornamental geophytes, conventional vegetative propagation is not economically feasible due to very slow development and ineffective methods. It can take several years until a new plant is formed and commercial profitability is achieved. Therefore, micropropagation techniques have been developed to increase the multiplication rate and thus shorten the multiplication and regeneration period. The majority of these techniques rely on the formation of new bulbs and their sprouting. Dormancy is one of the main limiting factors to speed up multiplication in vitro. Bulbous species have a period of bulb dormancy which enables them to survive unfavorable natural conditions. Bulbs grown in vitro also exhibit dormancy, which has to be overcome in order to allow sprouting of bulbs in the next vegetation period. During the period of dormancy, numerous physiological processes occur, many of which have not been elucidated yet. Understanding the process of dormancy will allow us to speed up and improve breeding of geophytes and thereby achieve economic profitability, which is very important for horticulture. This review focuses on recent findings in the area of Citation: Markovi´c,M.; Momˇcilov, bulb dormancy initiation and release in fritillaries, with particular emphasis on the effect of plant M.T.; Uzelac, B.; Jevremovi´c,S.; growth regulators and low-temperature pretreatment on dormancy release in relation to induction of Suboti´c,A.

  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE
    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

  • Karyological Studies of Fritillaria (Liliaceae) Species from Iran
    © 2016 The Japan Mendel Society Cytologia 81(2): 133–141 Karyological Studies of Fritillaria (Liliaceae) Species from Iran Marzieh Ahmadi-Roshan1, Ghasem Karimzadeh1*, Alireza Babaei2 and Hadi Jafari2 1 Department of Plant Breeding and Biotechnology, Faculty of Agriculture, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran P. O. Box 14115–336, Iran 2 Department of Horticultural Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran Received September 26, 2015; accepted March 14, 2016 Summary Five species (13 ecotypes) belonging to three subgenera of ornamental-medicinal Iranian Fritillaria were karyotypically studied, using a standard squash technique. All species were diploid (2n=2x=24) having mean chromosome lengths of 15.8 µm (15.2–16.7 µm). Their satellites varied in number (1–3 pairs) and in size (1.2–2.6 µm), mostly being located on long arms. Four chromosome types (“m”, “sm”, “st”, “T”) formed 10 dif- ferent karyotype formulas: “T” type chromosome is reported for the first time in most species (with the exception of S4, Fritillaria. reuteri Boissi). ANOVA confirmed significant intra- and inter-specific chromosomal variation across the Iranian Fritillaria species. Twelve different methods were used to assess the degree of karyotype asymmetry. Among those, one qualitative parameter (Stebbins classification) and eight quantitative (CVTL, DI, A1 & A2, AI, A, AsK%, MCA, CVCI) parameters verified that S2 (F. gibbosa Boiss.) and S5 (F. zagrica Stapf.) species represented the most asymmetrical and symmetrical karyotypes, respectively. Key words Fritillaria, Cytogenetics, New chromosome type, Karyotype, Iran. The name Fritillaria is likely based on the word “fri- Fritillaria subgenus is morphologically classified into six tullus” which means a cup in Latin (Ulug et al.

  • Narcissus Juncifolius
    Report under the Article 17 of the Habitats Directive European Environment Period 2007-2012 Agency European Topic Centre on Biological Diversity Narcissus juncifolius Annex V Priority No Species group Vascular plants Regions Alpine, Atlantic, Mediterranean Narcissus juncifolius is endemic to France, occuring in Alpine, Atlantic and Mediterranean regions. The taxonomy of this taxon is not clear. According to the information on the IUCN red list website the synonym species Narcissus assoanus ssp. praelongus is present in Spain. However, Spain did not report the species. In the IUCN red list the species is assessed as Least Concern (LC) with stable population trend. It is not assessed in the French red list (2012). The overall conclusion in the Alpine region is "Unfavorable Inadequate" due to a negative population trend. It occurs with a population of 1000-5000 individuals. The main distribution area of Narcissus juncifolius is in the Mediterranean region of France. However, the population is "Unknown", but assessed as "Favorable". As in the previous report, the conservation status is "Favorable" in all components. In the French Atlantic region is assessed as "Favorable" in all components (reported for the first time). The species occurs with a population of 10000-50000 individuals Main threats (mainly low rank) are grazing, cultivation, urbanisation, modification of cultural practices and mining.

To unleash the potential of Amaryllidaceae plants as pharmaceutical crops and as sources of AAs, a thorough understanding of the AA biosynthetic pathway is needed. However, only few enzymes in the pathway are known. Here, we report the transcriptome of AA-producing paperwhites (Narcissus papyraceus Ker Gawl). We present a list of 21 genes putatively encoding enzymes involved in AA biosynthesis. Next, a cDNA library was created from 24 different samples of different parts at various developmental stages of N. papyraceus. The expression of AA biosynthetic genes was analyzed in each sample using RT-qPCR. In addition, the alkaloid content of each sample was analyzed by HPLC. Leaves and flowers were found to have the highest abundance of heterocyclic compounds, whereas the bulb, the lowest. Lycorine was also the predominant AA. The gene expression results were compared with the heterocyclic compound profiles for each sample. In some samples, a positive correlation was observed between the gene expression levels and the amount of compounds accumulated.

Narcissus was a beautiful, proud young man in Greek mythology. Too proud to return the love of women, the envy of those scorned led to his downfall. While out hunting one day, he stopped to refresh himself at a spring. Seeing his image reflected in the water, he fell in love with it and pined away for his unattainable love, until there was nothing left but a beautiful narcissus. The narcissi like the Hippeastrum
