NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms.

The treatments consisted of combinations of two rapeseed genotypes (Hyola 61 and Hyola 433), three pollination tests (uncovered area, covered area without insects and covered area containing a single colony of Africanized Apis mellifera honeybees) and two sowing dates (May 25th, 2011 and June 25th, 2011). The presence of Africanized honeybees during flowering time increased the productivity of the rapeseed. -

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 -

Palynological Features of Eleven Aethionema Taxa from Turkey and Their Systematic Implications
Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 24(2): 197-204, 2017 (December) © 2017 Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists PALYNOLOGICAL FEATURES OF ELEVEN AETHIONEMA TAXA FROM TURKEY AND THEIR SYSTEMATIC IMPLICATIONS 1 MEHMET CENGIZ KARAISMAILOGLU Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Istanbul University, 034116 Istanbul, Turkey Keywords: Aethionema; Brassicaceae; Pollen; Morphology; Turkey; SEM; PCA. Abstract Pollen morphology of 11 taxa, including 2 endemic of the genus Aethionema W.T. Aiton from Turkey was examined under light and scanning electron microscopes. The pollens of Aethionema are mostly isopolar and bilaterally symmetric; spheroidal, prolate, perprolate and subprolate with the polar axes 14.07-26.41 µm and the equatorial axes 7.85-22.02 µm; mostly tricolpate, rarely 2-colpate; surface ornamentation is micro or macro reticulate. The exine thickness varies between 0.66 and 1.91 µm, and in tine thickness ranges from 0.27 to 0.85 µm. It is found that dimension of pollen grains, surface ornamentation, apocolpidium and amb diameter are taxonomically significant. Introduction The family Brassicaceae (Cruciferae), one of the largest angiosperm families, consists about 340 genera and 3350 species distributed mostly in temperate Northern Hemisphere (Al-Shehbaz, 1986; Karaismailoglu, 2016). The genus Aethionema W.T. Aiton represents with about 45 taxa in Turkey, including 20 endemic taxa (Guner et al., 2012). Turkey is one of the biodiversity rich centers of the genus, and its number in outside Anatolia declines gradually (Davis, 1965; Pinar et al., 2007). Aethionema having relatively few morphological characters and dimorphism in fruits among individuals of some species poses some taxonomic problems in classification of taxa within the genus (Al-Shehbaz et al., 2007). -

Thirty-four YACs in four contigs define the chromosome. Complete closure of the map was not attained because some regions of the chromosome were repetitive or were not represented in the YAC library. Based on the sizes of the YACs and their coverage of the chromosome, the length of chromosome 2 is estimated to be at least 18 Mb. These data provide the means for immediately identifying the YACs containing a genetic locus mapped on Arabidopsis chromosome 2. The small flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana is ters (Maluszynska and Heslop-Harrison 1991; A1- an excellent model system for metabolic, genetic, bini 1994; Copenhaver et al. 1995).

The Impact of Boscia Senegalensis on Clay Turbidity in Fish Ponds: a Case Study of Chilanga Fish Farm
The International Journal of Multi-Disciplinary Research ISSN: 3471-7102, ISBN: 978-9982-70-318-5 THE IMPACT OF BOSCIA SENEGALENSIS ON CLAY TURBIDITY IN FISH PONDS: A CASE STUDY OF CHILANGA FISH FARM. (Conference ID: CFP/853/2018) By: Naomi Zulu [email protected] School of Engineering Information and Communication University, Lusaka, Zambia ABSTRACT The research was carried out at Chilanga Fisheries located in Chilanga District of Lusaka Province of the Republic of Zambia. The total duration for the research project spanned over a period of sixty days beginning 10th April, 2018 to 8th June, 2018. The main aim of the project was to establish the impact of Boscia Senegalensis on clay turbidity in fish ponds. The project was accomplished in two stages. The first part was the preparation of the Boscia Senegalensis solution, the leaves were pounded, mixed with pond water and allowed to settle over a specific period in order to yield a solution. The solution was refined through decanting and filtration and later preserved in the refrigerator before application. The solution was stored in a 5 litre container. The second part involved the use of three identical (2m x 1m x 1m) concrete experimental ponds labelled A, B and C. All the three ponds were filled with pond water to the same level. The preparation of the clay induced source followed immediately after. The experiment was then conducted using ponds “B” and “C”, with pond “B” as a control. The clay induced solution obtained from pond “A” was then added to ponds “B” and “C”. The Boscia Senegalensis solution was added to pond “C” only. -
