Since when are fungi plants? I hadn't heard.

Wicked Plants

2009-12-17T07:16:26Z

NPR - 2009's Crop of Great Gardening Books (http://tr.im/2009Gar)

"Wicked Plants: The Weed That Killed Lincoln's Mother and Other
Botanical Atrocities" by Amy Stewart (Amazon.com: http://tr.im/WickedP
)

"Consider yourself warned," writes Amy Stewart. "Within the plant
kingdom lurk unfathomable evils." Bram Stoker meets Agatha Christie in
this sophisticated little brew of botanical boogiemen. Fatal fungus,
suicide trees and deadly nightshades are the characters in Stewart's
cleverly designed overview of poisonous plants. A dead serious writer
enchanted by "the plant kingdom's criminal element," Stewart's
wonderfully illustrated book is less a warning than a history of
plants that have, for millennia, insinuated their perilous tendrils
into our unsuspecting lives.

Palm-type plant rerooting

2009-11-20T18:41:46Z

I have a palm-type plant or tree (I don't know what category to put it
in). It appears that a gopher may have eaten the root off completely.
How do I regrow the roots to replant?

I live in San Diego, CA. The plant's leaves (if you will) are sort of
multi-colored, thin and long which makes me call it a palm-type plant.

Thanks for your help.

How to attach the seeds?

2009-10-28T05:12:54Z

Hi all.
I am starting up a test were I will test germination of seeds under water.
The seeds still have a week or two left to be stratified, and meanwhile I am trying to figure out a method for attaching bouyant seeds to the bottom of a petri dish so that they do not float.

I have thought of both glue or filterpaper-seeds-filterpaper, but the problem is whether the glue will affect the seed and also a filterpaper sandwich reduced the light and makes it hard to remove germinated seeds.

I am thankful for any suggestions to this problem.

Best regards, Petter

from a high school teacher

2009-10-27T05:09:14Z

To whom it may interest,

I have 2 students who are intereste in the formation of plant crown galls.

These students are also interested in hormones as they may pertain to the
galls caused
by Agrobacterium.

They want to see how hormones may affect gall growth and/or how the galls
affect
hormones in plants.

These students are quite motivated and dedicated to their work.

So far they have been struggling to develop methods that they can use in our
high school lab.

I am hoping that they can do work in this area of study. I am not sure if
it is possible given that

we are in a high school situation. I am looking for advice on the direction
these students could take

this project. I was hoping that someone in this group may have some
suggestions.

Any ideas, help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Looking for bacteria that bio luminescence in water when exposed to a small amount of elements or chemicals tia sal22

2009-10-26T04:48:59Z

Greetings All

I'm Looking for bacteria that can be purchased that bio luminescence
in water when exposed to a small
amount of elements or chemicals.

Example:
when water is exposed to cobalt it will turn blue.

Are there bacteria (that I can purchase online) that will luminescence
in water
when exposed to various elements? If so where can I purchase them?

Please note I'm located in Hawaii so bacteria will have to be able to
survive the long flight.

Seeds of most temperate climate trees need to be 'vernalized', i.e.
exposed to cool but not freezing temperatures for some time while they
are in a moist environment before they will germinate. While the
optimal conditions have been worked out for a number of species, the
simplest method for a tree native to your area is to plant fresh seeds
in a pot and bury the pot in your garden until spring. You may want
to cover the pot with some wire screening to protect the acorns from
squirrels. It wouldn't hurt to dump some dead leaves or other mulch on
top of the buried pot for a little extra protection.

That said, don't be too optimistic, since acorns are often infested by
insect larvae which may eat the embryo. Also, seeds of wild plants
don't always germinate all at once -- some may not germinate for a year
or more. I don't know if oaks are like that.

This sounds like a fun project for you and your kids. Think about where
you want to plant the seedlings. They'll grow up with your kids, the whole
experience will provide some rather nice lifelong memories for them, and
some day they may be able to show their children and grandchildren the large
trees that wouldn't be there but for you and them taking the time to start
them from acorns now.

I hope more knowledgable people will provide more and better advice for
you.

Bigger alder seeds and unusual cones

2009-09-18T23:17:43Z

10 Cambridge Avenue
Forest Hall
Newcastle -upon - Tyne
NE12 8AR
michael@...
0191 266 6435

I have already told you about my project to develop alder (Alnus) as a
grain crop. But alder seeds are very small and so I want bigger ones.
It is now getting to the time of year to go looking for them.

I want bigger seeds. Seeds are normally hard to see in the cones, if
you know of a systematic way of looking for bigger seeds I would love
to know of it. But if the seeds are really big, the overlapping
pattern of the scales of the cones might be distorted. I would be very
grateful for anything you can find.

I would like:-

Cuttings.
Cuttings keep the combination of genes which produced that effect.

Seeds.
Yes, obviously.

Statement of where the tree is,
Map reference
GPS coordinates
You take me to see the tree.

I am running this project like an "Open source" computer project. My
strains and the finished breed will be available to all.

I will be away for a month. My nephew is marrying a Nepali girl in
Kathmandu, and I am going to the wedding. I have been told to expect
"heroic eating and drinking" and after that, a a walk in "the hills" -
the Himalays!

Enjoy the "Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness"

I might need doubled haploid lines to be developed, but not as a
commercial venture, more like the open source ideas of Linux and GNU -
I'm not too clear on the exact legal structure of it all. I believe I
can get more cooperation from people on this basis, and so far, I have
had a good response.

The project is to develop alder as a grain crop. I have found an
interesting variation in the wild, I am looking for more and I can
foresee the need for doubled haploids for reasons which I don't have
to explain.

If you feel that you cannot waste your time on a project which is for
free, I fully understand, but I have no idea where to start, I would
be grateful for your reading list. There is no urgency, I cannot start
til next spring.

Regards

Michael Bell
