Abstract: The impact of habitat quality and site history on the recolonization potential of ancient-forest plant species on abandoned farmland was studied in the forest of Ename, Flanders, Belgium. With the exception of a network of fringe relics (linear elements mainly along exploitation roads), our study area was cleared and converted to arable land ca. 1850. From 1869 onward, most fields were gradually abandoned, resulting in a progressive, partly spontaneous reforestation. Each of the 42 actual forest parcels (amounting to 62 ha) was surveyed and a total of 466 plant species were inventoried. Twenty seven of these were identified as ancient-forest plant species and cataloged in a separate subset. Additionally, the spatial distribution of six ancient-forest plant species (Anemone nemorosa, Corylus avellana, Hyacinthoides non-scripta, Paris quadrifolia, Mercurialis perennis, Vinca minor) was systematically surveyed and digitized in a GIS environment. Habitat quality was assessed on the parcel level using intrinsic soil variables on the one side, and historically related variables (length of the agricultural-occupation period, length of woody fringe relics, and total length of fringe relics s.l.) on the other. Soil texture had a major impact on the duration of agricultural land use after deforestation. Soil phosphate content and pH are positively correlated with the duration of the agricultural land use. The number of ancient-forest plant species was negatively affected by the length of the agricultural-occupation period and soil phosphate content, and positively by the total length of the surrounding fringe relics. The same trends are observed studying the systematically surveyed ancient-forest species. We propose that soil phosphate content affected ancient-forest plant species distribution, because it stimulates vigorous vegetation development and as such has a definite effect on evolving competitive plant relationships. Using raster-G.I.S analysis tools, mean and maximum colonization distances and approximate mean and maximum colonization rates per century were calculated for each systematically surveyed species. We conclude that not only seed dispersal capabilities, but also site quality variables play an important role in the colonization process of ancient-forest plant species. In the short term, afforestation of previously heavily fertilized farmland will not result in floristically diverse and, thus, valuable forest habitats. The relatively immobile soil phosphate represents a major barrier.

Abstract: A lethal leaf scorch disease of oleander (Nerium oleander) appeared in southern California in 1993. A bacterium, Xylella fastidiosa, was detected by culturing, enzyme-linked immunoassay, and polymerase chain reaction in most symptomatic plants but not in symptomless plants or negative controls. Inoculating oleanders mechanically with X. fastidiosa cultures from diseased oleanders caused oleander leaf scorch (OLS) disease. The bacterium was reisolated from inoculated plants that became diseased. Three species of xylem sap-feeding leafhoppers transmitted the bacterium from oleander to oleander. The bacterium multiplied, moved systemically, and caused wilting in Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus rosea) and leaf scorch in periwinkle (Vinca major) in a greenhouse after inoculation with needle puncture. No bacterium was reisolated from grapevine (Vitis vinifera), peach (Prunus persica), olive (Olea europaea), California blackberry (Rubus ursinus), or valley oak (Quercus lobata) mechanically inoculated with OLS strains of X. fastidiosa. A 500-bp sequence of the 16S-23S ribosomal intergenic region of oleander strains showed 99.2% identity with Pierce's disease strains, 98.4% identity with oak leaf scorch strains, and 98.6% identity with phony peach, plum leaf scald, and almond leaf scorch strains.

Abstract: The distribution of xanthophyll cycle pigments (violaxanthin plus antheraxanthin plus zeaxanthin (VAZ)) among photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes was examined in Vinca major before, during, and subsequent to a photoinhibitory treatment at low temperature. Four pigment-protein complexes were isolated: the core of photosystem (PS) II, the major light-harvesting complex (LHC) protein of PSII (LHCII), the minor light-harvesting proteins (CPs) of PSII (CP29, CP26, and CP24), and PSI with its LHC proteins (PSI-LHCI). In isolated thylakoids 80% of VAZ was bound to protein independently of the de-epoxidation state and was found in all complexes. Plants grown outside in natural sunlight had higher levels of VAZ (expressed per chlorophyll), compared with plants grown in low light in the laboratory, and the additional VAZ was mainly bound to the major LHCII complex, apparently in an acid-labile site. The extent of de-epoxidation of VAZ in high light and the rate of reconversion of Z plusA to V following 2.5 h of recovery were greatest in the free-pigment fraction and varied among the pigment-protein complexes. Photoinhibition caused increases in VAZ, particularly in low-light-acclimated leaves. The data suggest that the photoinhibitory treatment caused an enrichment in VAZ bound to the minor CPs caused by de novo synthesis of the pigments and/or a redistribution of VAZ from the major LHCII complex.

Abstract: Blue periwinkle (Vinca major) is a serious environmental weed of protected areas in eastern Australia. A trial to evaluate the effectiveness of glyphosate, metsulfuron methyl, clopyralid and triclopyr for controlling this weed was undertaken east of Mallacoota Inlet within Croajingolong National Park, Victoria. The herbicides had their greatest effect six months after treatment. Brown-out at that time was 96% with glyphosate at 360 g 100 L-1, 59% with triclopyr at 126 g 100 L-1, 23% with clopyralid at 150 g 100 L-1 and negligible with metsulfuron methyl at 6 g 100 L-1.

Abstract: The area of the Magura National Park has been completely depopulated since 1947. There are only hardly visible traces of former village sites left: cemeteries, way-side shrines and crosses. Five decades after the area was abandoned by its permanent inhabitants, some decorative plants have persisted (e.g. Centaurea mollis, Vinca minor, Telekia speciosa, Scopolia carniolica, Rosa X centifolia) as well as fruit trees (Malus domestica, Pyrus communis, Prunus domestica, Cerasus avium).

Title: Antioxidants and xanthophyll cycle-dependent energy dissipation in Cucurbita pepo L. and Vinca major L. upon a sudden increase in growth PPFD in the field.

Abstract: Portions of shade-acclimated shoots of Cucurbita pepo L. (pumpkin) and Vinca major L. were rapidly transferred to full sunlight exposure and chlorophyll fluorescence emission, pigment composition, antioxidant enzyme activities, ascorbate contents, and the content of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) were measured at regular intervals for 17 d. The most notable response of leaf pigment composition was a pronounced increase in the pool size of xanthophyll cycle carotenoids that occurred over a period of 4 d (pumpkin) or 11-18 d (V. major). On day 1 after the transfer midday efficiencies of open PSII units decreased to levels similar to or below those observed in full sun-acclimated leaves. Efficiencies of open PSII units were inversely correlated with xanthophyll cycle conversion states in both species on all dates of sampling. A rapid increase in thermal energy dissipation on day I may thus have contributed to the absence of either an increase in the content of TBARS (a measure of lipid damage) or pronounced depressions in predawn Fv/Fm. Activities of the antioxidant enzymes ascorbate peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase, and catalase as well as ascorbate content increased in both species upon transfer, with superoxide dismutase exhibiting the most dramatic increase. Pumpkin, but not V. major, developed new leaves during the study which possessed the attributes of sun-acclimated leaves.

Abstract: The protective role of leaf antioxidant systems in the mechanism of plant acclimation to growth irradiance was studied in Vinca major, Schefflera arboricola, and Mahonia repens, which were grown for several months at 20, 100, and 1200 mu-mol photons m-2 s-1. As growth irradiance increased, several constituents of the "Mehler-peroxidase" pathway also increased: superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase, ascorbate, and glutathione. This occurred concomitantly with increases in the xanthophyll cycle pool size and in the rate of nonphotochemical energy dissipation under steady-state conditions. There was no evidence for photosystem 11 overreduction in plants grown at high irradiance, although the reduction state of the stromal NADP pool, estimated from measurements of NADP-malate dehydrogenase activity, was greater than 60% in V. major and S. arboricola. Ascorbate, which removes reactive O-2 species generated by O-2 photoreduction in the chloroplast and serves as a reductant for the conversion of the xanthophyll cycle pigments to the de-epoxidized forms A plus Z, generally exhibited the most dramatic increases in response to growth irradiance. We conclude from these results that O-2 photoreduction occurs at higher rates in leaves acclimated to high irradiance, despite increases in xanthophyll cycle-dependent energy dissipation, and that increases in leaf antioxidants protect against this potential oxidative stress.

Abstract: In the present study we explored the possibility of assessing the allocation of photons absorbed by photosystem II (PSII) antennae to thermal energy dissipation and photosynthetic electron transport in leaves of several plant species under field conditions. Changes in chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were determined in situ over the course of an entire day in the field in sun-exposed leaves of two species with different maximal rates of photosynthesis, Helianthus annuus (sunflower) and Vinca major. Leaves of Vinca minor (periwinkle) growing in a deeply shaded location were also monitored. We propose using diurnal changes in the efficiency of open PSII centers (F'v/F'm) in these sun and shade leaves to (a) assess diurnal changes in the allocation of absorbed light to photochemistry and thermal energy dissipation and, furthermore, (b) make an estimate of changes in the rate of thermal energy dissipation, an analogous expression to the rate of photochemistry. The fraction of light absorbed in PSII antennae that is dissipated thermally (D) is proposed to be estimated from D = 1-F'v/F'm, in analogy to the widely used estimation of the fraction of light absorbed in PSII antennae (P) that is utilized in PSII photochemistry from P = F'v/F'm times q-p (where q-p is the co-efficient for photochemical quenching.

Abstract: The Labedz reserve in the Northern part of Poland in the Brodnica lake lands encompasses the transition bog and adjoining forests. The area contains thirty natural plant communities from 11 classes. Remarkable plant associations include Caricetum limosae, Sphagno-Caricetum rostratae, Sphagnetum magellanici and Eriophoro vaginati -Sphagnetum recurvi. Natural character is also displayed by plant communities from the class Scheuchzerio-Caxicetea fuscae e.g. Eriophorum angustifolium Juncus effusus, Phragmites australis, and Potentilla palustris communities. The flora of the studied area is manifold and interesting. The profuse appearance of II protected and 28 rare species is remarkable. The biological value of the Labedz reserve is also emphasized by its high populations of Carex limosa, Scheuchzeria palustris, Drosera rotundifolia (on the bog) and of Vinca minor in Tilio-Carpinetum.

Abstract: Common periwinkle and 'Bowles' periwinkle production has declined in the southern United States due to foliar diseases caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. & Sacc. in Penz. and Phoma exigua Desmaz. var. inoxydabilis Boerema & Vegh in Vegh et al. Our study determined whether several labeled and experimental fungicides could control pathogens causing foliar diseases in common periwinkle in vitro and outdoors during two consecutive summers. Five concentrations of each of eight fungicides were used to test inhibition of mycelial growth of P. exigua var. inoxydabilis and two isolates of C. gloeosporioides on fungicide-amended agar. All concentrations of propiconazole inhibited growth of P. exigua var. inoxydabilis (100%) and both isolates of C. gloeospotioides ( gt 96%). Cyproconazole completely inhibited mycelial growth of P. exigua var. inoxydabilis. Thiophanate methyl/mancozeb partially inhibited growth of C. gloeosporioides (50%). In outdoor trials, plants were sprayed weekly with the following fungicides and rates (in g a.i./liter): thiophanate methyl/mancozeb, 1.35; propiconazole, 0.14; thiophanate methyl, 0.84; triforine, 0.27; cyproconazole, 0.08; triforine-CC 17461, 0.27; or CGA 173506, 0.90. Thiophanate methyl/mancozeb was most effective at reducing foliar necrosis during both seasons. Shoot dry weights of plants treated with thiophanate methyl/mancozeb were significantly higher at the end of each growing season than those of plants treated with the other fungicides or the nontreated control plants. Chemical names used: dimethyl ((1,2-phenylene)-bis (iminocarbonothioyl)) bis (carbamate) and a combination of zinc ion and manganese ethylenebisdithiocarbamate (thiophanate methyl/mancozeb); 1-(2-(2',4'-dichlorophenyl)-4-propyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl-methyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole (propiconazole); dimethyl ((1,2-phenylene)-bis (iminocarbonothioyl)) bis (carbamate) (thiophanate methyl); N,N'-(1,4-piperazinediylbis (2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)) bis (formamide) (triforine); 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-butan-2-ol (cyproconazole); N,N'-(1,4-piperazinediylbis (2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)) bis (formamide) with micro emulsion (triforine-CC 17461); 4-(2-2-difluoro-1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl) pyrrole-3-carbonitrile (CGA 173506).

Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate the growth responses and ground-covering ability of Wedelia robusta and Vinca minor as influenced by 4 different levels of shading (0%, 35%, 55%, and 75% shading). The growth of Wedelia robusta was promoted in proportion to the higher light intensity. Top dry weight and ground-covering area after 4 months in natural condition were the greatest (1600 g and 2.1 m-2, respectively). However, Vinca minor grew best under 35% to 55% shading condition and poorest under full sunlight condition. Sunburn on the leaves of Vinca minor was noted under full sunlight. Number of leaves, Number of branches, dry weight, and ground-covering area showed a marked increase in 55% shading condition. Chlorophyll contents of Wedelia robusta and Vinca minor increased in proportion to the lowering light intensity, and net photosynthesis showed the same pattern with other growth responses.

Abstract: Growth of vinca (Vinca major (L.)) was limited by either a medium drench application of uniconazole of 2 or 4 mg a.i. per pot or a foliar spray application of 2, 4, or 6.25 mg a.i. per plant, both applied in 25 ml (0.75 fl oz) of water. Shoot length, leaf number, leaf area, leaf dry weight and stem dry weight averaged over uniconazole treatments were 51%, 45%, 32%, 33%, and 38% less than control plants, respectively. When compared to control plants, water use of chemically treated plants was reduced by 35% due to the reduction of leaf area and also lower stomatal conductance readings. Stomatal conductance readings of chemically treated plants were 2 to 5 times less than control plants indicating the plant size was not the only factor affecting plant water use.

Abstract: The rate of thermal dissipation is consequently given by D times PFD (photon flux density), again in analogy to the rate of photochemistry P times PFD, both assuming a matching behavior of photosystems I and II. Characterization of energy dissipation from the efficiency of open PSII centers allows an assessment from a single set of measurements at any time of day; this is particularly useful under field conditions where the fully relaxed reference values of variable or maximal fluorescence needed for the computation of nonphotochemical quenching may not be available. The usefulness of the assessment described above is compared with other currently used parameters to quantify nonphotochemical and photochemical chlorophyll fluorescence quenching.
