Gen. J. Hallera 107, PL-80-416 Gdańsk, Poland (e-mail: [email protected]) Received 8 Jun 2011, final version received 27 Mar. 2012, accepted 27 Mar. 2012 Kosiński, I. 2012: Generative reproduction dynamics in populations of the perennial herb Polygo- natum multiflorum (Asparagaceae). — Ann. Bot. Fennici 49: 217–228. Generative reproduction traits of the perennial Polygonatum multiflorum (Aspara- gaceae) were studied in seven populations in 2000–2010. The frequencies of typical hermaphrodite flowers and functionally male flowers with short or atrophied car- pels were 76%, 17% and 7%, respectively. Most hermaphrodite flowers occurred in the lower and middle positions on the ramets. The final fruit/flower ratio per ramet amounted to 25% and its variation was higher among populations than among years. The initial fruit set was on an average twice as high as the final fruit set. The mean number of seeds per fruit was 3.2, and the distribution was skewed to the right. At the inter-population level, the seed number and mass of fruits were negatively correlated with each other. Seed size/number trade off was significant for shoots and for fruits. The seedling emergence was 65%–82% and it was positively correlated with the seed size as well as the survival of seedlings.

  • Phytotoxic, Insecticidal and Leishmanicidal Activities of Aerial Parts of Polygonatum Verticillatum

Accepted 7 January, 2010 The aim of the present study was to explore the aerial parts of the Polygonatum verticillatum for various biological activities such as phytotoxic, insecticidal and leishmanicidal properties. Outstanding phytotoxicity was observed for the crude extract and its subsequent solvent fractions against Lemna acquinoctialis Welv at tested doses of 5, 50 and 500 µg/ml. Complete growth inhibition (100%) was demonstrated by the crude extract and aqueous fraction at maximum tested dose (500 µg/ml). Among the tested insects, moderate insecticidal activity was recorded against Rhyzopertha dominica. However, neither crude extract nor its solvent fraction registered any significant (> 100 µg/ml) leishmanicidal activity against Leishmania major. Based on the phytotoxicity, the aerial parts of the plant could be a significant source of natural herbicidal for sustainable weed control. Key words: Polygonatum verticillatum, phytotoxicity, insecticidal activity, leishmanicidal activity. INTRODUCTION Polygonatum verticillatum [L.]. All.

    Top 50 Medicinal Plants Medicinal plants to create an Apothecary-style garden to help our pollinators List Curated by Thomas McBride From research data collected and collated at the National Botanic Garden of Wales NB: Butterflies and Moths are not studied at the NBGW so any data on nectar plants beneficial for them is taken from Butterfly Conservation Introduction At the National Botanic Garden of Wales, we feel it is important to recognise the rich history of botany and plant science we have in Wales and around the UK. One such way to display this is through a living museum of plants once used, and some still used, to treat various ailments and maintain good health. These medicinal plants can be grown together to create a physic garden or apothecaries garden; such as the one we have here. Apothecaries were herbal medicine specialists before the event of modern medicine. The apothecaries garden is split into sections depending on the usage of the plants. If you would also like to create one, you can use this model to help you. Almost all the selected plants are found in our Apothecaries Garden and many are also culinary herbs or ornamentals found elsewhere in the garden. Most of the plants used are native to or naturalised in Western Europe.

SUMMARY Developmental constraints have been proposed different characteristics of microsporogenesis, only cell to interfere with natural selection in limiting the available wall formation appeared as constrained. We show that set of potential adaptations. Whereas this concept has constraints may also result from biases in the correlated long been debated on theoretical grounds, it has been occurrence of developmental steps (e.g., lack of successive investigated empirically only in a few studies. In this article, cytokinesis when wall formation is centripetal). We document we evaluate the importance of developmental constraints such biases and their potential outcomes, notably the during microsporogenesis (male meiosis in plants), with an establishment of intermediate stages, which allow emphasis on phylogenetic patterns in Asparagales.

These insights are developmental constraints were tested by character discussed with regard to potential selection on pollen reshuffling or by simulated distributions. Among the morphology.

  • Planting Instructions
    Planting Instructions Annuals Ageratum houstonianum, Ageratum, Dondo Blue: small, shaggy, pale blue flowers are stalwart bloomers from June-September. Height 2'. Plant after danger of frost is past in full sun and rich, well-drained soil. Spacing 9-12"; no pinching or support is necessary (although for cut flower stems we do use netting). Centaurea cyanus, Bachelor Buttons, Blue Boy: Beautiful blue cornflower is for the wildflower lover. Blooms in May; readily self-sows. Height: 3-4'; spacing: 12-16". Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Asclepias curassavica, Butterfly Weed, Silky Formula Mix: Beautiful red and yellow flowers, favorite of monarchs (the first year we grew them we had chrysalis lined up along the eave of our shed). Height 3'. Do not allow to become potbound. Plant after danger of frost is past in full sun at 12-24" spacing. Prefers well-drained sandy loam but will also grow in poor soil. It is a memer of the milkweed family so does have the milky sap that can irritate some peoples’ skin. Calendula officinalis, Calendula: A hearty bloomer, in yellows and oranges. Petals are both edible and medicinal. Height 1-2'. Plant 6-12" apart in full sun to partial shade as soon as ground can be worked. Prefers rich, well-drained soil. Pinch back plants for bushier growth and deadhead to prolong flowering. Doesn't like the heat but you can cut back flowers for second bloom in autumn. Eschscholzia californica, California poppy: Delicate orange flowers on gray foliage. Drought resistant and prefers soil with low fertility.

If you can’t beat high blood pressure. Also, dandelion root tea is a common health them, eat them! Increase your garden’s yield by identifying supplement used mainly for its mild diuretic properties. the edible weeds and adding them to your harvest. “A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows.” Doug Larson Burdock Burdock (Arctium Lappa) Anyone who has spent time cleaning up the yard in autumn knows Burdock, maybe not by name but definitely reputation. With an arsenal of burs, it plagues passersby with its tag-a-long reproductive process. Beat the burrs by harvesting burdock earlier in the season for its succulent roots and meaty stalks. Use Dandelion in place of artichoke hearts by steaming stalks and roots. Not only is harvesting burdock good for you, but your garden too! A Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) member of the thistle family, burdock attracts many pollinators to garden ecosystems due to its excessive amount of nectar. Extremely versatile in the kitchen and found easily, dandelions add zip to any meal. Buds and leaves are best when picked Health benefits of Burdock include strong anti-bacterial and young.
