  • Ecological Response of Some Iris L. Taxa (Iridaceae) in Turkey
    Bangladesh J. Bot. 40(2): 177-184, 2011 (December) ECOLOGICAL RESPONSE OF SOME IRIS L. TAXA (IRIDACEAE) IN TURKEY 1 2 NEZAHAT KANDEMIR*, ALI ÇELIK AND ABDULKADIR SÜRÜCÜ Department of Biology, Education Faculty, Amasya University, Amasya-Turkey Key words: Iris taxa, Endemic, Rare, Ecological properties, Relationship Abstract Ecological relationships of some Iris taxa belonging to subgenera Hermodactyloides (I. danfordiae, I. histrio subsp. aintabensis, I. histrio subsp. histrio, I. reticulata, I. bakeriana, I. pamphylica) and Scorpiris (I. aucheri and I. persica) have been compared and relationships between taxa have been determined. These taxa are geophytes and flower in Spring. I. danfordiae, I. pamphylica and subsp. aintabensis are endemic to Turkey. I. reticulata and I. persica have widespread distribution while I. aucheri, subsp. aintabensis, subsp. histrio, I. pamphylica and I. bakeriana have restricted distribution in Turkey. Soil samples of the taxa were collected during flowering periods and physical and chemical properties (texture class, total salinity %, pH, CaCO3 %, organic matter %, N %, P kg/da, K kg/da, Ca , Mg, Mn, Cu, Fe and Zn ppm) were determined. The correlations between the soil analyses and taxa were evaluated using regression analysis. The P and CaCO3 values were found to be more effective than the other soil factors in the distributions of investigated taxa. Introduction Iris L. is one of the largest genus of Iridaceae family and comprises over 300 species in the world. They have been distributed in the Northern Hemisphere (Yu et al. 2009). Iris species have been used as ornamental plants in vegetative landscape of the parks and gardens in many countries since ancient times because of very beautiful and colorful flowers (specially in rock garden I.

    ANALYSIS OF THE KARYOTYPES IN YUCCA, A GA VE AND THE RELATED GENERA WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE PHYLOGENETIC SIGNIFICANCEI~ Dyuhei SATo Divisionof Genetics, Bot. Inst. Faculty of Science, Tokyo Imperial University McKelvey and Sax (2933) have called attention to the existence of taxonomic and cytological similarities of the genera Yucca, Hesperoyucca, Gleistvucca,Hesperoaloe and Samuela of the Liliaceae with the genera Agave and Fourcroya which belong to a related family, Amaryllidaceae. Wh.itaker (1934) also has reported that Polianhes and Fourcroya have exactly the same chromosome constitution as the Yucca-Abave karyotype (5 long and 25 short chromosomes) (Figs. 1, 2). These observations when considered in respect to taxonomic resemblances, seem to indicate that the genera mentioned above are more closely related than it is shown by their classifica- tion into distinct families. Whitaker also has remarked that Dasylirion (2n=38) and ATolina(2n=36) in Yucceae and Doryanthes (2n=36) in Agavoideae are of different karyotypes from the Yucca-Agave type. In the present work an analysis of the karyotypes in Liliaceous plants has been attempted and several karyotypes have been found in Scilloideae. Eucornis and Carassia have been selected with the purpose of discovering a possible connecting link between these genera and the Yucca-Agave group. In the present paper an analysis of the karyotypes of the following species is given. LILIACEAE Scilloideae 211 Fig. Euconis undulata 60=8L+8M+44S (4b)2) 3 Euconsispallidi ora 60=8L+8M+44S (4b) 4 Eucomispunctata 60=8L±8M+44S (4b) 5 Camassiaescrema 30=6L+24S (2b) 6 Yucceae Yuccafilamentosa 30 60=1OL+50S (2b) 1, 7 Yuccarecurvifolia 30 60=1OL+50S (2b) 2, 8 Yuccaaloifolia 60=1OL+50S (2b) 9 „ var.

  • Five Types of Bulbs the Word “Bulb” Here Is Used As a Generic Term for Plants That Grow from Five Distinct Types of Underground Structures As Follows
    Five Types of Bulbs The word “bulb” here is used as a generic term for plants that grow from five distinct types of underground structures as follows: True Bulbs (Hyacinth, Tulip, Daffodil) Tiny bulblets or bulbils attach themselves to the bulb. Dig bulbs and separate gently remove tiny bulbs from basal plate. Plant bulblets in out-of-the-way spot till mature enough for bloom. Corms (Gladiolus, Crocus, Freesia) to divide separate cormels from main corm. Plant in an out-of-the-way place till corms are large enough to flower. Tubers (Anemone (most), Tuberous Begonia, Florist Cyclamen) – To divide, dig and separate large tuber into two or more sections, making sure each section has at least one or two growth points. Rhizomes (Bearded Iris, Agapanthus, Anemone [some], Canna rhizomes produce new plants from growth points along their sides. To divide, break at narrowing points which seem to divide sections. Each “break” needs at least one growing point. Tuberous Roots – (Day Lily, Ranunculus, Dahlia) to divide, dig and cut apart so that each separated root has a growth bud. NOTE: Tulips and Hyacinth need winter chill for best bloom. Purchase bulbs around Labor Day and *chill in refrigerator in vented bag for at least six weeks prior to planting. *IMPORTANT: While bulbs are being stored in refrigerator it is important that no fruits are stored in same refrigerator. Bulbs in Pots: Planting depth: Mix at home potting medium: Daffodil 5 inches 1 part peat moss Hyacinth 4 inches 1 part compost Tulip 2½ times deep as bulb is wide 1 part builder’s sand Muscari 2-3 inches Fertilizer (according to package instructions) Crocus 2 inches Growing Instructions for bulbs pot: Place in full sunlight (at least six hours each day).

  • Scilla Peruviana 'Caribbean Jewels Sapphire Blue'
    CULTURE CONNECTION PERENNIAL SOLUTIONS Scilla peruviana By Paul Pilon ‘Caribbean Jewels Sapphire Blue’ THIS UNIQUE PERENNIAL MAKES A STATEMENT WITH DEEP-BLUE, STARRY BLOSSOMS ATOP LARGE, CONE-SHAPED FLOWERS. he Peruvian lily is a striking evergreen perennial that has great potential as a spring flowering container crop. This underutilized bulb crop can be grown an marketed alongside other spring flowering bulbT crops such as daffodils, hyacinths and tulips. Several years ago Golden State Bulb Growers intro- duced Scilla peruviana ‘Caribbean Jewels Sapphire Blue’ to the industry. Sapphire Blue produces large striking blue conical-shaped flowers atop slim, lance-shaped leaves in mid to late spring. The flower stalks produce 50 to 100 deep blue, starry blossoms. These unique flowers have an impressively long bloom time. In the landscape, mature plantings of Sapphire Blue grow to 18 to 22 inches in height. They should be grown in locations with full sun to light shade. In the northern United States, scilla are can be grown and marketed as potted plants or in combination containers, but they can be sold as perennials in USDA Hardiness Zones 7 to 10. They are relatively cold hardy and can tolerate light frosts down to 28° F without experiencing plant damage. Perennial growers should consider adding scilla to their tender perennial programs to supplement their current offerings with this novelty plant. Additionally, ‘Caribbean Jewels Sapphire Blue’ is relatively easy to produce, has few cultural problems and can be grown with cool tem- peratures. These attributes, along with its unique flowers, make scilla a great addition to any perennial program.

  • Turkish Silk Road Trip Report 2019
    TURKISH SILK ROAD TRIP REPORT 2019 1 Day 1 6 May To Goreme We all arrived from various places to Cappadocia. Day 2 7 May Cappadocia I A fine clear morning revealed the remarkable convoluted landscape of Cappadocia – a blend of towers and smooth-eroded hills, some pink some cream. We met with our guide Gaye and set off for a quieter part of this popular region. Our first stop was near a small church and above this the path led to a fine lookout across the landscape including some amazing chimneys capped with dark hats of denser rock. Indeed, it is the rapid erosion of the various layers of compacted ash that have created this landscape, a legacy of the regions intensely volcanic past. There many Alpine Swifts sweeping overhead and a few interesting flowers with tufts of bluish Trigonella coerulescens, Silene conoidea, Euphorbia sp and big patches of Eruca sativa that were a magnet for the many Painted Ladies on the wing. We moved on to another site with an old monastery that still retained some very old frescoes and painted ceilings as well as a very old Seljuk mosque. Here there was plentiful Hypercoum pseudograndiflorum along the paths. Uta exchanged tips on bean cultivation with a local farmer who spoke a smattering of German before we left. Lunch was in a cherry orchard, thronging with butterflies as well as by chance, being next to a nesting Long-eared Owl which peered down at us the whole time we were there. Then it was onto see a special plant, crossing the undulating steppes and wheat fields to an innocuous-looking hill.

  • '"There's More Than One of Everything": Navigating Fringe's Cofactual Multiverse'
    . Volume 13, Issue 1 May 2016 ‘There’s More Than One of Everything’: Navigating Fringe’s cofactual multiverse Casey J. McCormick, McGill University, Montréal, Canada Abstract: This article analyzes how viewers of Fringe (FOX 2008-2013) make sense of the series’ complex science fictional storyworld. It argues that Fringe presents multiple iterations of worlds and characters in a way that encourages ‘cofactual’ interpretation: rather than figuring parallel universes and alternate timelines as ontologically hierarchical, the narrative accommodates all versions of reality and invites viewers to participate in shaping the multiverse. The article offers a close reading of Fringe’s complex narrative structure alongside an exploration of how audiences responded to and impacted the series through fannish practices such as vidding and narrative mapping. It concludes that cofactual narration opens up an array of participatory practices that blur the text/paratext distinction and facilitate interactive storyworld building. Keywords: Complex TV, Fandom, Narrative, Paratexts, Counterfactual, Cofactual, Possible Worlds Cofactual Interpretation By the time viewers reach the series finale of Fringe (FOX 2008-2013), they have travelled across two spatially-distinct universes, three versions of the future, and at least four different timelines, with each world-iteration populated by different versions of the show’s central characters. Through its reinvigoration of science fiction tropes, such as time travel, alternate realities, and temporal resets, Fringe asks viewers to re-evaluate typical models of narrative world-building. The series constructs a multiverse comprised of what I deem cofactual diegetic worlds. I use the term ‘cofactual’ in contradistinction to the more common narrative term ‘counterfactual’ as a means of emphasizing the plurality and simultaneity of diegetic worlds in Fringe.
