Although this design is deeply rooted in the A high rolling plain, often backed by distant mountains, this is a Spanish landscape, Miguel fell in love with landscape that every now and again offers truly immense vistas; it has scale that is unlike anything else in Europe, and at times feels gardening in England while studying biology more like the American west or central Asia. It was in this vast landscape that the design partnership of Miguel Urquijo and Renate Kastner faced the challenge of creating a stylish green-looking design for a private garden. “The client wanted grass, rather than gravel,” says Miguel,“but we were determined to reduce water use.” Miguel also felt an island of green grass would cut the house off from the surrounding countryside.

RESUMEN Se han estudiado 35 de los taxones representados en el área Indicada, al M.O. y al M.E.B. La longitud de la abertura tiene valor taxonómico para sepa­ rar la sección Allium, con la abertura muy larga, de las otras secciones. Se ha observado una relación entre el aumento de tamaño del polen y el aumento del nivel poliploide. SUMMARY A palinological study of 35 taxa of Alliumirom the Iberian Península and Balearle Islands has been made. The length of the aperture has taxonomic va­ lué, it separates Sect. Allium, with very long aperture, from the other sec- tions. A relationship between polen size and polyploidy level has been obser- ved. INTRODUCCIÓN Este estudio se ha realizado como parte de una revisión del género Allium, tratando de obtener datos que pudieran ser utilizados en la taxonomía del grupo, a pesar de que se conocía de antemano el marcado carácter estenopolínico de la familia Liliáceas. Erdtman (1966: 236) indica para la tribu Allioideae, que los granos de polen son monosulcados y de longitud comprendida entre 37 - IByt (esto últi­ mo para Gagea lútea). 190 J- PASTOR Beug (1961, sec. W. Duyfjes, 1977: 13), describió el polen de 25 especies de Alliumáe origen europeo, indicando que las diferencias entre las distintas especies son pequeñísimas. Describió el polen como monosulcado, rectado- reticulado y de 30 - 40^. Observó también que en la sección Allium la única abertura es más larga que en el resto de las secciones.

  • Chapter 6 Persian Gardens & Hispano
    (1627) CHAPTER 6 PERSIAN GARDENS & HISPANO – MUSLIM GARDENS As we said earlier, I do not agree with the division between between "major' and "minor" arts. I also believe that gardens are indeed an art form. Not much is available in English on Persian gardens, hence I believe it wise to include a brief chapter on Persian gardens and their relation to Hispano-Muslim gardens. Certainly gardens are not peculiar to Persia, but are well known in much of Europe. There is a journal called "The English Garden" and another called "Garden Design". Though obviously there are similarities, in fact the the typical Persian garden is in some ways quite distinct from any sort of typical European garden. The English word "paradise" come from the Old Persian and Avestan pairi daeza, (Modern Persian ferdous), meaning "a walled space, in this case a garden.(1) The above indicates the antiquity of the garden in Persia, and also hints at a basic difference in concept between Persian and European gardens. In general, European gardens are meant to be part of the landscape, of the woods and meadows. Indeed, there is a style of European garden called "informal", "natural" or "woodland" which stresses precisely the appearance of being a pert of the natural (1628) environment, blending into it. With the exception of the Caspian coast an a few other areas, Persia is mainly arid or semi-arid and barren. Ergo, in Persia the garden is meant to stand in stark contrast to the surrounding landscape, an oasis or island of verdure in a sea of aridity.

  • Genome Analysis of South American Elymus (Triticeae) and Leymus (Triticeae) Species Based on Variation in Repeated Nucleotide Sequences
    UC Davis UC Davis Previously Published Works Title Genome analysis of South American Elymus (Triticeae) and Leymus (Triticeae) species based on variation in repeated nucleotide sequences. Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/54w48156 Journal Genome, 40(4) ISSN 0831-2796 Authors Dubcovsky, J Schlatter, AR Echaide, M Publication Date 1997-08-01 DOI 10.1139/g97-067 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Genome analysis of South American Elymus (Triticeae) and Leymus (Triticeae) species based on variation in repeated nucleotide sequences Jorge DU~COVS~~,A.R. Schlatter, and M. Echaide Abstract: Variation in repeated nucleotide sequences (RNSs) at the level of entire families assayed by Southern blot hybridization is remarkably low within species and is a powerful tool for scrutinizing the origin of allopolyploid taxa. Thirty-one clones from RNSs isolated from different Triticeae genera were used to investigate the genome constitution of South American Elymus. One of these clones, pHch2, preferentially hybridized with the diploid H genome Hordeum species. Hybridization of this clone with a worldwide collection of Elymus species with known genome formulas showed that pHch2 clearly discriminates Elymus species with the H genome (StH, StHH, StStH, and StHY) from those with other genome combinations (Sty, StStY, StPY, and StP). Hybridization with pHch2 indicates the presence of the H genome in all South American Elymus species except Elymus erianthus and Elymus mendocinus. Hybridization with additional clones that revealed differential restriction fragments (marker bands) for the H genome confirmed the absence of the H genome in these species. Differential restriction fragments for the NS genome of Psathyrostachys were detected in E.

  • Isozyme Variation and Its Environmental Correlates in Elymus Glaucus from the California Floristic Province
    Color profile: Generic CMYK printer profile Composite Default screen 139 Isozyme variation and its environmental correlates in Elymus glaucus from the California Floristic Province Barbara L. Wilson, Jay Kitzmiller, Wayne Rolle, and Valerie D. Hipkins Abstract: Genetic variation in the self-fertile, allotetraploid grass Elymus glaucus Buckley was assessed using isozymes in 133 populations from southwestern Oregon and from the San Francisco Bay area and central Sierra Nevada moun- tains in California. Elymus glaucus was highly (98.5%) homozygous but also highly variable; 77% of loci were poly- morphic, and the mean number of alleles per locus was 2.96. Populations were highly differentiated, with 40% of variation among populations. Geographic and genetic distances among populations were not correlated, except that pop- ulations collected within 5 km were generally more similar than average. Genetic distance among populations could not be predicted from geographic distance, geographic location, foliage pubescence, serpentine substrate, or habitat mois- ture. However, two genetic clusters, associated with elevation, did emerge. The taxonomic status of Elymus glaucus ssp. jepsonii (Burtt Davy) Gould, based on leaf pubescence, was not supported. Key words: Elymus glaucus, isozyme, genetic variation, Poaceae, polyploid, seed transfer. Résumé : À l’aide des isoenzymes, les auteurs ont évalué la variation génétique chez une graminée auto-fertile alloté- traploïde, l’Elymus glaucus, dans 133 populations du sud ouest de l’Oregon, de la région de la baie de San Fransisco, et des montagnes du centre des Sierra Nevada, en Californie. L’Elymus glaucus est fortement homozygote (98,5 %) mais également très variable; 77 % des loci sont polymorphes et le nombre moyen d’allèles par locus est de 2,96.
