  • Foundation Arboretum Wespelaar Year Report 2019
    Foundation Arboretum Wespelaar Year Report 2019 2019 started with an early spring: by mid-March the early magnolias were in full flower. Temperatures kept rising and the heat record was broken in July, making the summer of 2019 one to be recorded in history books. Luckily, small rain showers and increased irrigation capacities ensured that we lost very few plants. In March 2019, the construction of the Artois Pavilion started in the Artois Meadow, at the end of two important vistas. The design is inspired by the old pavilion along the canal in the Park of Wespelaar. In the new Arboretum de Marche, a total of 189 trees have been planted in the past two years. In collaboration with Natagora, five ponds were created and a 5ha plot was sown with wild seed to create a meadow of native grasses and flowers. The building permit for the visitors centre and technical facilities was obtained. 2019 was a very active year for both Arboretum Wespelaar and Arboretum de Marche, as is described in more detail in this Year Report. Arboretum Wespelaar – Year Report 2019 1 THE COLLECTIONS ‘Patty’ can be planted in the Arboretum in due time. The living collection of woody plants in the Arboretum currently (as of 30 January 2019) Once again, our winter was not worth contains 5,116 specimens representing 2,340 mentioning and by mid-March we could have different taxa (versus 16,376 specimens and opened the Arboretum for our visitors because 4,955 taxa on the whole of the estate). These the early magnolias were already in full flower! numbers include the 629 new accessions on On March 11th however, we had a serious the estate during 2019 of which 108 (or 17%) storm with accompanying damage and much are of documented wild origin.

  • Japanese Apple Rust Gymnosporangium Yamadae Belongs to the Pucciniales, an Order That Includes Rust Fungi That Cause Diseases on Plants
    U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service Systematic Mycology and Microbiology Laboratory - Invasive Fungi Fact Sheets Japanese apple rust Gymnosporangium yamadae belongs to the Pucciniales, an order that includes rust fungi that cause diseases on plants. Gymnosporangium yamadae has been limited in distribution to Asia (China, Japan and Korea) where it can be a serious pathogen of cultivated apples, especially if the host of the telial state, Juniperus spp., occurs in close proximity. This fungus was recently reported from the United States (DE, PA) in its aecial state on the ornamental tree, Malus toringo (Yun et al. 2009). Gymnosporangium yamadae Miyabe ex G. Yamada 1904 Aecia on Malus, foliicolous, then hypophyllous, also less commonly caulicolous, fructicolous; initially developing in a whitish leaf spot that becomes rose red with a distinct margin. Peridium cornute to tubular, 3-7(-8) mm high, retaining this shape at maturity but with lacerate sides that often form a reticulate pattern, apex typically closed to occasionally dehiscent, yellow-brown to brown; peridial cells long-narrow rhomboid to linear-rhomboid, 59-115 µm long, pale yellow, appearing verrucose with long papillae to tuberculate, outer walls smooth, inner and side walls sparsely echinulate. Aeciospores globoid, 16-26 × 18-27 µm, walls dark yellow, 1.0-2.5 µm thick, rarely up to 3.5 µm thick, sparsely echinulate, 4-7 pores scattered on surface. Telia on Juniperus, caulicolous, rarely foliicolous, produced on globoid swellings or small galls, telial horns cylindric-acuminate, 1-3 mm diam, 5-8 mm high or more, orange, gelatinouse. Teliospores two-celled, oblong, ellipsoid or obovoid, 15-28 x 32-56 µm, walls 0.8-2.0 µm thick, yellow or orange, with two pores near septum and one pore toward apex in upper cell, frequently with an obtuse, hyaline papilla at apex.

  • Dihydrochalcones in Malus Mill. Germplasm and Hybrid
    DIHYDROCHALCONES IN MALUS MILL. GERMPLASM AND HYBRID POPULATIONS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Benjamin Leo Gutierrez December 2017 © 2017 Benjamin Leo Gutierrez DIHYDROCHALCONES IN MALUS MILL. GERMPLASM AND HYBRID POPULATIONS Benjamin Leo Gutierrez, Ph.D. Cornell University 2017 Dihydrochalcones are abundant in Malus Mill. species, including the cultivated apple (M. ×domestica Borkh.). Phloridzin, the primary dihydrochalcone in Malus species, has beneficial nutritional qualities, including antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-diabetic properties. As such, phloridzin could be a target for improvement of nutritional quality in new apple cultivars. In addition to phloridzin, a few rare Malus species produce trilobatin or sieboldin in place of phloridzin and hybridization can lead to combinations of phloridzin, trilobatin, or sieboldin in interspecific apple progenies. Trilobatin and sieboldin also have unique chemical properties that make them desirable targets for apple breeding, including high antioxidant activity, anti- inflammatory, anti-diabetic properties, and a high sweetness intensity. We studied the variation of phloridzin, sieboldin, and trilobatin content in leaves of 377 accessions from the USDA National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) Malus collection in Geneva, NY over three seasons and identified valuable genetic resources for breeding and researching dihydrochalcones. From these resources, five apple hybrid populations were developed to determine the genetic basis of dihydrochalcone variation. Phloridzin, sieboldin, and trilobatin appear to follow segregation patterns for three independent genes and significant trait-marker associations were identified using genetic data from genotyping-by-sequencing. Dihydrochalcones are at much lower quantities in mature apple fruit compared with vegetative tissues.

General Administrative Information 1.1 Background 1.2 Scope 1.1 Background The Canadian Food Inspection Agency's Plant and Biotechnology Risk Assessment (PBRA) Unit is responsible for assessing the potential risk to the environment from the release of plants with novel traits (PNTs) into the Canadian environment. The PBRA Unit is also responsible for assessing the pest potential of plant imports and plant species new to Canada. Risk assessments conducted by the PBRA Unit require biological information about the plant species being assessed. Therefore, these assessments can be done in conjunction with species­specific biology documents that provide the necessary biological information. When a PNT is assessed, these biology documents serve as companion documents to Dir94­08: Assessment Criteria for Determining Environmental Safety of Plants with Novel Traits.

  • Trees and Shrubs for Streambank Landscapes in Western Washington
    Trees and Shrubs for Urban/Suburban Streambank Landscapes in Western Washington The following is a list of trees and shrubs with the potential to be used in residential landscapes along Clarks Creek and other waterways in western Washington. The list was developed to expand the pallet of plants available for streamside landscaping. To create the expanded list, existing lists from a number of sources recommending plants for streamside restoration were examined and plants deemed appropriate for residential landscapes were incorporated into this list. The list was then extensively supplemented with a wide range of new plants, particularly adding types that homeowners would be likely to encounter in local nurseries. Trees and shrubs on this list can be planted by Urban/Suburban homeowners to enhance or restore the developed riparian landscape. Stream or creek restoration is the process of repairing waterways that have been denuded, damaged by erosion, or overrun by invasive plants like Himalayan blackberry. The primary goals are cleaner water, stream bank stabilization, and improved habitat for aquatic species and wildlife. Using plants can help with these goals and also help to filter pollutants from storm water run-off before entering the water supply. This plant list was created to help homeowners and landscapers select trees and shrubs that will do well for streambank and creek restoration in residential areas. The list includes Washington State native and non-native plants and clones that are suitable for creek or stream bank planting. Clones are plants that have been selected for specific desirable qualities of landscape importance and these qualities are maintained through vegetative propagation.
