The rst book on this topic was published in 1972 by Alun R. Rees and was titled The Growth of Bulbs. It was followed up by a second publication, Ornamental Bulbs, Corms, and Tubers, in 1992. Subsequently, our book The Physiology of Flower Bulbs was published in 1993 and the literature search for it concluded in 1992. Since then, there have been many technological advances in areas such as taxonomy, plant breeding, biotechnology, and physiology. In addition, there has been a worldwide “Environmental Awakening” that has required signicant changes in commercial bulb and ower production and their utilization. Concurrently, there has been an increased globalization of ower bulbs. In addition, it is well known that research is essential for any viable industry and it must be continuous. Therefore, researchers and the leaders of the ower bulb industry must address the new challenges that have and will continue to develop. Strategic and long-term planning is essential for everyone. Very importantly, traditional sources of research and educational funds are rapidly declining, not only in The Netherlands but also worldwide. Researchers will have to be cre- ative in obtaining and maintaining funds (see Chapter 1). This is especially true for long-term pro- grams like tulip breeding (see Chapter 6), which, at present, takes about 15–20 years to bring a new cultivar into mainstream production. Thus, this book, which highlights the recent advances in this scientic eld, is very essential. It will benet not only researchers who have been engaged for years but also new researchers who must meet and challenge the existing dogmas. Last, information will be valuable to the industry to bring the value of ower bulbs to the worldwide spectrum of consumers. In the end, these are the most important and last link in the chain of utilization and protability of all ower bulb products. The ower bulb industry and researchers are indebted to Dr. Rina Kamenetsky and Dr. Hiroshi Okubo for encouraging and assembling this needed book on ornamental geophytes. It will be invaluable in meeting the challenges for the twenty-rst century and beyond. August A.

  • Clivia Miniata Colour Mutations and Their Breeding
    Clivia Miniata Colour Mutations and their Breeding I don’t profess to be geneticists or to know very much about the way in which colour is inherited in Clivia, but by taking a very simple approach of line breeding and a lot of trial and error I have managed to produce true breeding lines of Clivia. This knowledge will be valuable to any breeder wishing to perpetuate a particular colour mutation. In the best interest of Clivia I have decided to write this article and attempt to share what I have learnt with others. It is my opinion that for a particular colour mutation to be inherited by sexual reproduction, a pathway has to occur i.e. the genes or other factors influencing the colour would have to line up. A simple way in which to view the chromosomes and the loci on which these chromosomes have mutated is by taking two rulers and placing them side by side, each representing different plants with similar colour mutations and only if both plants have mutated on the same point of the chromosomes (rulers) would the mutation be transferred to the off spring by sexual reproduction. Plants are relatively easy to line breed / inbreed because of the fact that they can be self- pollinated. Unfortunately, mechanisms are in place in plants that inhibit self-pollination and so more effort is required to perpetuate these colour mutations. The best-known colour mutation in Clivia is the yellow mutation occurring in Clivia miniata. Even here just because two plants are yellow doesn’t necessarily mean they have mutated at the same loci on the chromosome.

PhytoKeys 119: 117–136. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.119.30790 Abstract A new species, Allium albanicum, is described and illustrated from Albania (Balkan Peninsula). It grows on serpentines or limestone in open rocky stands with a scattered distribution, mainly in mountain loca- tions. Previously, the populations of this geophyte were attributed to A. meteoricum Heldr. & Hausskn. ex Halácsy, described from a few localities of North and Central Greece. These two species indeed show close relationships, chiefly regarding some features of the spathe valves, inflorescence and floral parts. They also share the same diploid chromosome number 2n =16 and similar karyotype, while seed testa micro- sculptures and leaf anatomy reveal remarkable differences.

  • 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. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

  • Complete Chloroplast Genomes Shed Light on Phylogenetic
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Complete chloroplast genomes shed light on phylogenetic relationships, divergence time, and biogeography of Allioideae (Amaryllidaceae) Ju Namgung1,4, Hoang Dang Khoa Do1,2,4, Changkyun Kim1, Hyeok Jae Choi3 & Joo‑Hwan Kim1* Allioideae includes economically important bulb crops such as garlic, onion, leeks, and some ornamental plants in Amaryllidaceae. Here, we reported the complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequences of 17 species of Allioideae, fve of Amaryllidoideae, and one of Agapanthoideae. These cpDNA sequences represent 80 protein‑coding, 30 tRNA, and four rRNA genes, and range from 151,808 to 159,998 bp in length. Loss and pseudogenization of multiple genes (i.e., rps2, infA, and rpl22) appear to have occurred multiple times during the evolution of Alloideae. Additionally, eight mutation hotspots, including rps15-ycf1, rps16-trnQ-UUG, petG-trnW-CCA , psbA upstream, rpl32- trnL-UAG , ycf1, rpl22, matK, and ndhF, were identifed in the studied Allium species. Additionally, we present the frst phylogenomic analysis among the four tribes of Allioideae based on 74 cpDNA coding regions of 21 species of Allioideae, fve species of Amaryllidoideae, one species of Agapanthoideae, and fve species representing selected members of Asparagales. Our molecular phylogenomic results strongly support the monophyly of Allioideae, which is sister to Amaryllioideae. Within Allioideae, Tulbaghieae was sister to Gilliesieae‑Leucocoryneae whereas Allieae was sister to the clade of Tulbaghieae‑ Gilliesieae‑Leucocoryneae. Molecular dating analyses revealed the crown age of Allioideae in the Eocene (40.1 mya) followed by diferentiation of Allieae in the early Miocene (21.3 mya). The split of Gilliesieae from Leucocoryneae was estimated at 16.5 mya.

  • The Green Scene Brighten Winter with a Clivia Plant

Send your email address to [email protected] to receive this publication via e-mail. Brighten Winter with a Clivia Plant By Richard Jauon Flowers are one of the best antidotes to the icy winds of winter, and growing a houseplant that buds and blooms inside while all is dormant outside is particularly satisfying. This winter, as an alternative to the brightly blooming azaleas, chrysanthemums or traditional holiday plants, consider growing a clivia plant. What is a clivia? Clivia or kaffir lily (Clivia spp.) is a herbaceous flowering plant native to South Africa. Plants have long, arching, strap-like leaves (similar to an amaryllis) and produce dense clusters of trumpet-shaped flowers atop 18 to 24 inch stems. The flowers of Clivia minia- ta are typically orange with yellow eyes or centers. However, there are also several rare and expensive yellow-flowering cultivars. While clivias are not winter hardy in Iowa, they are excellent, low maintenance houseplants. How do I get a clivia to bloom? Clivias need a rest period of six to 12 weeks in fall and winter to initiate flower bud development. Temperatures dur- ing this time should be 40 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit. A guest bedroom, porch or a partially heated garage (temperatures must remain above 35 F) may be suitable plant locations. Water sparingly (about once a month). When flower stalks appear, move plants to a slightly warmer location and begin to water more frequently.

BAEZA 3 , AND S USANNE S. RENNER 2 2 Systematic Botany and Mycology, University of Munich, 80638 Munich, Germany; and 3 Departamento de Botánica, Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Oceanográfi cas, Universidad de Concepción, Casilla 160-C, Concepción, Chile • Premise of the study: Understanding the fl exibility of monocot genomes requires a phylogenetic framework, which so far is available for few of the ca. 2800 genera. Here we use a molecular tree for the South American genus Alstroemeria to place karyological information, including fl uorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) signals, in an explicit evolutionary context. • Methods: From a phylogeny based on plastid, nuclear, and mitochondrial sequences for most species of Alstroemeria , we se- lected early-branching (Chilean) and derived (Brazilian) species for which we obtained 18S-25S and 5S rDNA FISH signals; we also analyzed chromosome numbers, 1C-values, and telomere FISH signals (in two species). • Key results: Chromosome counts for Alstroemeria cf. rupestris and A. pulchella confi rm 2 n = 16 as typical of the genus, which now has chromosomes counted for 29 of its 78 species. The rDNA sites are polymorphic both among and within species, and interstitial telomeric sites in Alstroemeria cf. rupestris suggest chromosome fusion. • Conclusions: In spite of a constant chromosome number, closely related species of Alstroemeria differ drastically in their rDNA, indicating rapid increase, decrease, or translocations of these genes.

    Bulletin 51 HMSO 13s Od [65p] net Narcissus Pests Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, FISHERIES AND FOOD Narcissus Pests Bulletin 51 LONDON HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 197o First published June 1932 Sixth edition 197o The Ministry does not accept responsibility for any of the private or trade advertisements included in this publication. SBN 11 240351 4 Foreword THE growers of Narcissus have been very fortunate in that the pests of this valuable crop have received specialist attention for nearly forty years. Names like W. E. H. Hodson and L. N. Staniland, both past authors of this Bulletin, rank high in the list of pioneer researchers on bulb pests in this country. They have been followed with no less enthusiasm by the con- tributors to this sixth edition which brings up-to-date our knowledge of the important pests of the crop and tested and practical methods of control. Although the present Bulletin mainly follows the pattern laid down by Mr. Hodson in 1932 many sections have been extensively rewritten. Mr. H. C. Woodville has dealt with narcissus flies as he did in 1958, and Mr. H. G. Morgan with detection of pests in the field, stem and other eelworms and their control. Mr. A. L. Winfield covered bulb scale mite and the general problem of hot-water treatment of bulbs, and chemical dips to control stem eelworm, and also contributed the notes on miscellaneous pests. Mr. P. Aitkenhead dealt with bulb mites. Mr. J. F. Southey provided the section dealing with eelworms as vectors of virus diseases of the crop.

Address for correspondence: Nicolás García, [email protected] DOI https://doi.org/10.1002/tax.12062 Abstract A robust generic classification for Amaryllidaceae has remained elusive mainly due to the lack of unequivocal diagnostic characters, a consequence of highly canalized variation and a deeply reticulated evolutionary history. A consensus classification is pro- posed here, based on recent molecular phylogenetic studies, morphological and cytogenetic variation, and accounting for secondary criteria of classification, such as nomenclatural stability. Using the latest sutribal classification of Hippeastreae (Hippeastrinae and Traubiinae) as a foundation, we propose the recognition of six genera, namely Eremolirion gen. nov., Hippeastrum, Phycella s.l., Rhodolirium s.str., Traubia, and Zephyranthes s.l. A subgeneric classification is suggested for Hippeastrum and Zephyranthes to denote putative subclades.
