  • In the British Species of Papaver and Their Relation to Breeding Mechanisms and Ecology S
    Watsonia, 8, 263-276 (1971). 263 Studies on British Poppies 4. Some aspects of variability in the British species of Papaver and their relation to breeding mechanisms and ecology s. ROGERS Department of Biology, Queen Elizabeth College, London ABSTRACT The patterns of intra-specific variation in the British species of Papaver have been studied using mainly characters of the ripe capsules. The results, considered in relation to the breeding mechanisms of the species, show that in the outbreeding P. rhoeas variation is primarily between individuals and the variation within populations is generally such that any variation between them is not significant. In the self-compatible species, P. dubium and P. lecoqii, on the other hand, the variation between populations is generally highly significant. Some populations nevertheless show more internal variation than others and this appears to parallel a variation in the degree of inbreeding. INTRODUCTION The five species used in this study fall into two sections of the genus as classified by Fedde (1909), the section Orthorhoeades including P. rhoeas, P. dubium and P. Zecoqii whilst P. argemone and P. hybridum are included in the Argemono­ rhoeades. In many respects the species are all similar, being annual plants inhabiting open communities such as annual crops, waste ground and recently disturbed roadside verges. Yet, in the south of Britain at least, only P. rhoeas is universally abundant; P. dubium is only locally abundant, whilst the other three species are very localised in their distribution. The existence of large populations of P. rhoeas focusses attention upon its variability, especially in obvious characters such as flower colour, foliage colour and form, and capsule shape.

  • The Effects of Secondary Metabolites of Rangeland and Pasture Plants on the Animal Health in Mediterranean Ecological Conditions
    Journal of US-China Medical Science 16 (2019) 63-72 doi: 10.17265/1548-6648/2019.01.003 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Effects of Secondary Metabolites of Rangeland and Pasture Plants on the Animal Health in Mediterranean Ecological Conditions Emre Kara and Mustafa Sürmen Departmant of Field Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, Aydın Adnan Menderes University, Aydın 09100, Turkey Abstract: Grazed areas including rangelands and pastures cover approximately 51% of the Earth’s continental surface. The plant species which are in these areas which form a wide biodiversity with living and non-living organisims, stand out with both as a forage source and medical use. In this natural habitat, plants are surrounded by a large number of potential enemies. Since plants are not able to escape from these enemies (herbivores and pathogenes), plants produce substances which are not functional for growing and develop but protect plants against external factors as defence mechanisms. These substances are called secondary metabolites. These substances which are seen differently from the primer metabolites, possess charachteristics specific to each plant species. Secondary metabolites of plant origin can be divided into three main groups as terpens, phenolic compounds and nitrogenous compounds. Terpenes have negative effects on many mammals and insects, because they are toxic. The lignin, a phenolic compound, is located in the plant cell wall and has a particularly digestibility-lowering effect. In addition, flavanoids, which are again phenolic compounds, are thought to be produced against harmful effects of UV rays and pathogen invasion. Tannins, another phenolic compounds, are generally toxic. When plants which have tannins are grazed by herbivorous, they significantly reduce chances of growth and survival of animals.

  • Poppies, Including Meconopsis (The Blue Poppy) and Eschscholzia (The Californian Poppy)
    plant profile papaver In brief What A genus of at least 70 species of annual, biennial and herbaceous plants. Origins Mainly northern hemisphere plants, including within the Arctic Circle, with a few species found in sub-Saharan Africa. Season Summer flowering. Size Alpine species grow to just 10cm tall and some Papaver orientale cultivars will reach 1.2m tall. Conditions Specific growing conditions vary with the species but in general Papaver need open, sunny situations and well-drained soil. ew flowers are as widely recognised as the poppy and people with little Fknowledge of plants will generally be able to identify one. In part this is due to its tenacious presence both in rural lanes and fields and on waste land and verges in towns. Mainly, though, it is the poppy’s status as an John Hoyland emblem of remembrance that has ensured it is a plantsman is deeply embedded in our psyches. and garden writer The fragility of the flowers and who has gardens ephemeral nature of the field poppy make in both southeast England and it a perfect symbol of mourning and southwest France. remembering. A far less benign influence on humanity is found in another poppy, the source of opium. These two extremes are reflected in the wide range of the genus, which encompasses species whose flowers are elegant and fragile, while others produce flowers that are burly and flamboyant. Papaver is made up of at least 70 species of annuals, biennials and perennials, growing mainly in the northern hemisphere, including within the Arctic Circle, with one species found in southern Africa.
