REU Poster 2018 1 Copy Targeted gene sequencing and selection detection in ex situ collections of Brighamia insignis Christina Shehata1, Lauren Audi1,2, Hilary Noble2, Colby Witherup1,2, Jeremie Fant2, Norm Wickett2 1Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60201; 2Chicago Botanic Garden, Glencoe, IL 60022 Introduction Results B_insignis_107_BI−001 Discussion B_insignis_UNK_BI−005 B_insignis_1_BI−006 B_insignis_132_BI−007 Brighamia insignis (family: Campanulaceae, subfamily: Lobelioideae) is a B_insignis_255_BI−014 B_insignis_255_BI−015 B_insignis_255_BI−020 While 206 genes were recovered during assembly, some genes were B_insignis_255_BI−031 B_insignis_255_BI−032 B_insignis_UNK_BI−034 B_insignis_565_BI−052 B_insignis_92_BI−073 species of caudiciform succulent endemic to Hawaii.

  • Orchids: 2017 Global Ex Situ Collections Assessment
    Orchids: 2017 Global Ex situ Collections Assessment Botanic gardens collectively maintain one-third of Earth's plant diversity. Through their conservation, education, horticulture, and research activities, botanic gardens inspire millions of people each year about the importance of plants. Ophrys apifera (Bernard DuPon) Angraecum conchoglossum With one in five species facing extinction due to threats such (Scott Zona) as habitat loss, climate change, and invasive species, botanic garden ex situ collections serve a central purpose in preventing the loss of species and essential genetic diversity. To support the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation, botanic gardens create integrated conservation programs that utilize diverse partners and innovative techniques. As genetically diverse collections are developed, our collective global safety net against plant extinction is strengthened. Country-level distribution of orchids around the world (map data courtesy of Michael Harrington via ArcGIS) Left to right: Renanthera monachica (Dalton Holland Baptista ), Platanthera ciliaris (Wikimedia Commons Jhapeman) , Anacamptis boryi (Hans Stieglitz) and Paphiopedilum exul (Wikimedia Commons Orchi ).

Orchids naturally occur on decline in the wild. Orchids are also very sensitive to nearly all continents and ecosystems on Earth, with high environmental changes, and increasing habitat loss and diversity found in tropical and subtropical regions.

  • List 01 Hawaiian Names 01 Plants
    V\.{). 3 v BOTANICAL BULLETIN NO.2 JUNE. 1913 TERRITORY OF HAWAII BOARD OF AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY List 01 Hawaiian Names 01 Plants BY JOSEPH F. ROCK Consulting Botanist, Board of Agriculture and Forestry HONOLULU: HAWAIIAN GAZETTE CO., LTD. 1913 ALPHABETICAL LIST OF HAWAIIAN NAMES OF PLANTS. The following list of Hawaiian plant-names has been compiled from various sources. Hillebrand in his valuable Flora of the Hawaiian Islands has given many Hawaiian names, especially of the more common species; these are incorporated in this list with a few corrections. Nearly all Hawaiian plant-names found in this list and not in Hillebrand's Flora were secured from Mr. Francis Gay of the Island of Kauai, an old resident in this Terri­ tory and well acquainted with its plants from a layman's stand­ point. It was the writer's privilege to camp with Mr. Gay in the mountains of Kauai collecting botanical material; for almost every species he could give the native name, which he had se­ cured in the early days from old and reliable natives. Mr. Gay had made spatter prints of many of the native plants in a large record book with their names and uses, as well as their symbolic meaning when occurring in mele (songs) or olioli (chants), at­ tached to them. For all this information the writer is indebted mainly to Mr. Francis Gay and also to Mr. Augustus F. Knudsen of the same Island. The writer also secured Hawaiian names from old na­ tives and Kahunas (priests) in the various islands of the group.

  • The Bulletin, 2019 Fall/Winter Issue
    keep cool, Major seed storage findings stay dry, published and you may live long BY DUSTIN WOLKIS, SEED BANK AND LABORATORY MANAGER AND MARIAN CHAU, KALEHUA SEED CONSERVATION CONSULTING n the summer of 1989 NTBG’s future Breadfruit Institute Director Dr. Diane Ragone collected seeds from the critically endangered papala (Charpentiera densiflora), at Kahanu Garden on Maui, marking this as the oldest known collection in Hawai‘i. IAt that time, the Kew Millennium Seed Bank was still seven years from establishment, and the Svalbard Global Seed Vault wouldn’t be constructed until 2008, the same year NTBG’s Juliet Rice Wichman Botanical Research Center and future site of the NTBG Seed Bank and Laboratory was completed. NTBG has banked seeds every year since, and conserving these early collections for future use showed incredible forethought by NTBG staff. Seed banking, especially at botanical institutions, would not hit the mainstream for at least another decade. But what would the shelf life of these collections be, and at what intervals should they be re-collected? The term “seed storage behavior” describes the physiological response to storage methods. If seeds tolerate desiccation and freezing, they are considered to have “orthodox behavior.” Until the early 2000s, it was assumed that because of Hawai‘i’s tropical location, the conventional storage methods of desiccating and freezing seeds would prove lethal to the majority of the Hawaiian flora, and therefore seeds from MARIAN CHAU COLLECTING SEEDS FROM METROSIDEROS POLYMORPHA ON OʻAHU.

  • Reproductive and Pollination Biology of the Critically Endangered Endemic Campanula Vardariana in Western Anatolia (Turkey)
    Plant Ecology and Evolution 154 (1): 49–55, 2021 https://doi.org/10.5091/plecevo.2021.1676 RESEARCH ARTICLE Reproductive and pollination biology of the Critically Endangered endemic Campanula vardariana in Western Anatolia (Turkey) Ümit Subaşı* & Aykut Güvensen Ege University, Faculty of Science, Department of Botany, Bornova Izmir 35040, Turkey *Corresponding author: [email protected] Background and aims – Campanula vardariana (Campanulaceae) is a critically endangered endemic chasmophyte with a single population situated in the west of Turkey. Very little is known about the reproductive biology of C. vardariana and more information is needed to develop a sound conservation strategy for this endemic species. Material and methods – Floral traits such as flower morphology, nectar, and sugar concentration, as well as pollen viability and stigma receptivity were measured in different floral phases. We observed insect visitations to the flowers and identified pollinators. Additionally, we investigated the effect of cross and self-pollination on fruit and seed production. Key results – The flowers of C. vardariana are protandrous. The length of the styles, which were 8.74 mm during the pollen loading phase, reached 11.35 mm during the pollen presentation phase. The visitor observations made on the C. vardariana flowers revealed 11 visitor species from 5 families: 5 Halictidae, 3 Apidae, and one species each from Megachilidae, Colletidae, and Bombyliidae. Lasioglossum spp. touched the anthers and stigma using several parts of their bodies and were significant pollinators ofC. vardariana. Under natural conditions, the mean number of seeds per fruit was around 60 after cross pollination, while no fruits were formed when pollinators were excluded.
