This paper presents my master project “Grey Flowers” which is an incarnation of a poetic metaphor to a ceramic flower sculpture. The project is an installation of crafted flowers as a strong symbol of a short lived moment which has now stopped for ages. This sculptural work is based on the notion of decadence of the 19th century and presents a new way which it can been interpreted. Ceramics, clay and firing processes are used as a methods of unpredictability and a “happy accident”. The main aim of the project is to create a feeling of abandonment by showing decaying and dying beauty. The sculptural work investigates the different aspects of the flower and its representation trying to show different approaches tothinking and working while telling about the same idea.

Previous research has identified that there is a body of research on flowers. There is rather little regarding the interrelations between flowers and interaction, and the role of flowers in weddings and funerals. It is this gap in the research that this research addresses. This study applies a sociological perspective to explore on a micro level the role of flowers in social interaction within ritual spaces, whilst also examining the management of identity involved. The research uses an ethnographic approach, applying case-study methods deriving from an interpretivist standpoint that focuses on the uniqueness of an individual’s experience. Through choice and decision making, people utilise flowers as institutionalised props that assist in the presentation of selves during ritual practices. When Goffman’s dramaturgical framework (1959) is applied alongside Hochschild’s concept of emotion work (1979) and Gordon’s (1981) definition of sentiment, they can be identified as multifaceted institutionalised props, with interchangeable meaning, assisting in the management of a positive sentiment identity. Flowers also reaffirm intergenerational connections with others, enhancing a sense of belonging in community.

Magister Artium - MAThe collection of ten short stories, Of Flowers and Tears, aims to capture the events that have shaped my life, impacted on my community. It hopefully gives a voice to topics such as mental trauma, sibling strife, abortion, drug use and abuse, suicide, as well as political and social activism. Whilst none of the topics are new, the collection could potentially add to a growing genre of short story fiction by local authors which examine issues relating to trauma, loss, violence and the acknowledgement of identities. As South Africans, we carry many metaphoric scars (including psychological, socio-economic, sexual) as well as literal ones, which act as testimonies to our violent and frequently traumatic past and present. Even though most of the material used in my collection forms part of my personal memory bank and will be interpreted in a wholly fictional way, I propose that such a collection speaks to pertinent, present and pervasive realities.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Flowers, the sole natural source of pollen and nectar for bees, present many similar features, in colour, shape, size and scent, which facilitate pollinator attraction. This similarity among stimuli requires perception of commonality but also a capacity for differentiation between similar but different stimuli. While many flowers of a similar type will elicit approach and foraging, failure to access resources on any individual flower in an array (e.g. due to depletion) will not necessarily generalize and deter further foraging. Such conditions demand that bees respond to both the similarity and differences among stimuli which may share many common features but differ individually in available resources. Two questions are raised by this challenge and will herein be addressed: how do bees perceive and respond to ‘similar but different’ stimuli? And, how do bees use such cues to find rewarding flowers? Picture-object correspondence has not been previously specifically studied in invertebrates. The correspondence between picture-cue and object stimuli may offer a unique opportunity to trigger memory for corresponding targets while still retaining an important distinction between unrewarding cue and rewarding targets. Perception of pictures is not always perceived by animals as either the same as or equivalent to the intended subject. According to Fagot et al. (2000) the perceived relationship may result in confusion, independence or equivalence and is dependent upon experience. The objectives of this thesis are twofold: first, determine how bumblebees (Bombus impatiens) perceive the relationship between objects and corresponding pictures and secondly, to determine whether or not bees may be able to attend to and use pictures as cues while foraging. The correspondence of picture and object by bees was evaluated with four experiments of preference: (1) learned differentiation; spontaneous association to (2) colour, and (3) achromatic, impoverished images; and (4) learned picture cue use. Firstly, results show that bees do not confuse an object with a corresponding picture but nevertheless do perceive a relationship between them if colour cues are retained. Altered, achromatic images were not consistently treated as corresponding to coloured objects. Secondly, bees can learn to use a picture cue in a delayed matching foraging task. Results further suggest a role of three contributing factors in bumblebee picture cue use: (i) conditions of high inconsistency as to which target will be rewarding; (ii) stable target locations; and (iii) individual foraging experience. It appears that bumblebees can learn to use cues, in a delayed matching task, when the location of the corresponding target is known and stable, the individual bee has acquired some experience in successful foraging, and reward is otherwise unpredictable without the use of the cue. Bees may disregard secondary cues as noise under conditions of high target predictability whereby floral constancy or target perseveration may be most efficient, but attend to and learn such cues as signals if target reward is highly unpredictable. The conditions for this sensitivity may coincide with naturally occurring floral cycles.

Flowers are often gifted for major holidays and personal holidays, for both personal and corporate purposes. Today's solutions in the market are abundant but scattered, with many players offering products of varying quality at a range of price points. To command higher prices and stay relevant in the market, florists need to distinguish themselves through high quality and/or niche product and ease of service. The goal for this project is to map the current competitive landscape and supply chain of the flower industry, and to determine whether predictive modeling in the floral industry is feasible as a point of difference for new gifting company Clovette. Data collection through distribution of a survey called "Discovering Floral Preference" assessed the potential for prediction. Furthermore, the project explores Clovette's brand identity and potential "good" business development through sustainability initiatives and supply chain optimization. Keywords: random forest, predictive modeling, flowers, gifting, sustainability.

Rwanda is constrained by an export structure that is heavily dependent on one or a few agricultural export products such as coffee, tea , pyrethrum and cinchona. The country did not manage to industrialize or to diversify its export structure significantly during the post-independence period. The situation was worsened by the civil war of 1994, which almost destroyed all sectors of the economy. Traditional export crops, such as coffee, cotton, tea, cocoa, palm oil, and tobacco are all subject to large price fluctuations and declining world market prices. This paper considered the case for diversification into non-traditional agricultural exports as a strategy for improving a developing country's terms of trade. The study put forward a case of Higland Flowers Projecta flowers project located in rural Kigali about 5 kilometers to the Kigali International airport.

A known method for the preservation of green foliage was adapted in order to preserve floral tissues, retaining the colour and texture, thereby providing a method suitable for the preservation of whole flowers. Initially, the effects of the existing foliage preservation process on floral tissues were studied and the resulting problems of limp sticky petals and colour loss were identified. Subsequently, with a knowledge of basic plant anatomy and of the properties of the main floral pigments, the anthocyanins, a series of experiments on petals and whole flowers were carried out in an attempt to rectify these problems and to incorporate the remedies into a method for preserving whole flowers. The problem of improving the texture and firmness of flower heads was tackled by investigating the effects of adding bulking or setting ingredients to the process fluid and establishing their optimum concentrations. In the case of flower colour, the addition of acid was required in order to maintain the bright anthocyanin colours and a range of acids was investigated. Furthermore, since it is known that in nature the anthocyanin pigments are stabilised by metal ions and copigments, the use of these agents in the preservation process was also considered. This empirical work was then validated by confirming the identity of the main pigments involved and by studying various aspects of the new preservation process. Factors examined included acid concentration, temperature, solvent composition and the addition of metal ions and copigments to solutions of petal extracts containing anthocyanin pigments. Physical changes resulting from processing, including process fluid content and the moisture absorption properties of processed petals were also measured. Finally, the application of a selection of coating materials was assessed in an attempt to increase the life span of the processed flowers by providing extra protection against environmental stresses.

A unified approach was used to analyse the energy budgets and temperatures of flowers belonging to the families Rafflesiaceae and Convolvulacea; and some broader ecological and evolutionary implications of their thermal regimes were discussed. Rhizanthes lowii and Raflessia tuan-mudae (Rafflesiaceae) are rare parasitic plants adapted to live in the understory of the tropical rain forest in South East Asia. In the understory of the forest the ambient conditions are nearly constant (high relative humidity, low incident radiation and relatively constant air and soil temperature). These plants are parasitic on the vine Tretrastigma. They lack leaves, stems, or photosynthetic tissue and are characterised by gaseous emissions that attract the natural pollinators, carrion flies. The internal and surface temperatures of the flowers were continuously monitored with fine thermocouples in different parts of the flowers whilst radiation fluxes and microclimatic variables were recorded. In the case of Rhizanthes lowii there was evidence of both thermogenesis and thermoregulation. Endothermy was detected in young and mature buds as well as in blooming flowers and even in decaying tissues three or more days after blooming. Tissue temperatures were maintained at 7 - 9 K above air temperature. In Rafflesia tuan-mudae it was found that the internal parts of the flower were maintained a few degrees (1-6 K) above air temperature and the maximum heating was in the evening. As they are parasitic, they have the advantage over most other species as the respiratory substrate is derived from the host plant. High concentrations of CO2 may be released as the product of respiration. A fluid dynamics model was used to estimate the CO2 concentration in the reproductive cavity of Rafflesia tuan-mudae. The model suggested that the flower developed high concentrations of carbon dioxide inside the diaphragm, mainly around the central column where the cavity with the reproductive parts (anther or stigma) are located.

Magister Artium - MAThis mini-thesis is concerned with histories of flower selling in Cape Town. Since the late 19th century, images and imaginings of the flower sellers in Adderley Street and to a lesser degree in other areas of the city attained an outstanding place in visualisations and descriptions of Cape Town. The flower sellers were thereby characterised in a particularly gendered, racialised and class-specific way as predominantly female, coloured and poor. This characterisation dominated to an extent that it is possible to speak of a discursive figure of the 'Cape Town flower sellers'. In tourism-related media and in personal memoirs, the 'Cape Town flower sellers' often came to represent both the city and the inhabitants of Cape Town. The images and imaginings of the 'Cape Town flower sellers' can partly be traced back to representations of 'flower girls' in fictional stories, paintings, photographs and film in Europe, particularly in Great Britain. In Cape Town, this European discourse about flower selling developed in a specific way within colonial, apartheid and post-apartheid contexts.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Flowers’ colours are an essential element of their ability to attract visits from pollinators. However, the colours as they appear to human observers can differ substantially from their appearance to insect pollinators, and so it is essential to consider pollinator vision in any study of the ecology of flower colour. In this thesis I describe how I have overseen the development of an online database to provide accurate information on floral spectral reflectance measured without human observational bias. This resource allows a more accurate consideration of flower colours in future studies, and permits investigations of flower colours within and across habitats. Using the records in this database, I analysed flowers from two European habitats for spatial or temporal changes, modelling the colours according to insect visual perception. I discovered that the insect-colour composition of the plant communities does not change either along an altitudinal gradient or throughout the year. These novel and ecologically-relevant analyses contradict previous observational studies, but support the theory of a pollination “market” in which flowers compete for pollinator visitation. I then describe my experimental investigations into the visual capabilities of two pollinators and how this may relate to what colours of flowers they visit. Firstly I study the foraging behaviour of bees under spatially inconsistent illumination and how this impacts on their choice behaviour. I revealed patchy light can have measurable effects on bee foraging behaviour: they intentionally choose familiar over unfamiliar illumination, which may impact on the flowers they visit in complex natural environments. Secondly, I detail the new evidence for a red-sensitive photoreceptor in South African monkey beetles, a major pollinator in a habitat containing many longwavelength- reflecting flowers, which are not classically “attractive” to bees. Throughout this thesis, I explore how pollinator vision has shaped the evolution of flower colours in different contexts.

The urge to uncover aspects of human condition permeates my work, from the fundamental curiosity of a child tearing apart their doll to uncover what lies within to continuing a quest in uncovering basic human urges through my puppet animated dramas and tragedies. There is a controversial line between the childlike and the adult-like that can be ambiguous, and at some times more discernible while other times less. I create handcrafted stop-frame puppet animations that explore self-conscious emotions such as embarrassment, shame, and envy within unpredictable life scenarios. These are animations about inner life, attempting to resolve conflicting elements of the human psyche. At first glance, these puppets might appear scary, but upon closer observation the viewer may realize it is the puppet who is scared.

This project was the very beginning of research into the chemistry of eastern Australian banksia flowers. Using dynamic headspace sampling (DHS) analysis, differences in volatile components, consistent with detection of differences in odour, were detected among three different species and one commercial cultivar. Infraspecific variation was also observed between two known subspecies of Banksia ericifolia and between differently coloured forms of Banksia spinulosa var. collina. The cultivar, Banksia 'Giant Candles', was shown to have some of the chemical components of each of its supposed ancestors. The absence of known wound-response chemicals indicated that this DHS method was successful in leaving the inflorescences undamaged throughout the sampling procedure. The Likens-Nickerson modification of classical hydrodistillation methods was useful. The static headspace method (SHS) was easily automated and was shown to be chemically robust and sufficiently sensitive to detect volatile compounds from only a few flowers. The milder DHS method, which minimised mechanical and heat damage to the plant tissue, produced a different set of results. From the results of this project, a suite of volatile compounds has been proposed that may be useful in future behavioural studies to help determine whether animals are attracted to components of banksia odours. These candidates include some compounds that have been reported in animal secretions, wound-response chemicals that may be produced by the plant to aid its communication with other organisms, and a compound (suggested to be sulfanylmethyl acetate) not previously reported from natural sources. The mildest of the three analytical methods used, dynamic headspace sampling, was shown to be suitable for the potential chemotaxonomic evaluation of some members of the Banksia genus.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
The genus Antirrhinum (commonly known as snapdragons) contains more than twentyfive recognised species. The genus has been divided into three morphological subsections: Antirrhinum, Streptosepalum and Kickxiella (Rothmaler, 1956). One of the major characteristics distinguishing the three subsections is flower colour. Most species in subsection Antirrhinum have dark pink or yellow flowers, Kickxiella species are white or pale pink and Streptosepalum species have yellow or pale pink flowers. All Antirrhinum species can be crossed to produce fertile hybrids which allow the genes that underlie their differences to be identified. I used quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis on hybrids of A. majus (dark magenta flowers) and A. charidemi (pale-pink flowers) to map genomic regions underlying differences in flower colour. This identified two major-effect loci, in Linkage Group 3 (LG3) and LG7, that explained most of the differences between these species. I used near-isogenic lines (NILs) to further test involvement of two candidate genes - Rosea (Ros) in LG3, which encodes a regulator of the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway (ABP) and Incolorata (Inc) in LG7 which encodes a rate-limiting enzyme of the ABP. In both cases, the A. majus allele increased pigmentation. Sequence differences between Ros alleles of A. majus, A. charidemi and A. molle (a Kickxiella species with white flowers) suggest that A. molle carries a ros loss-of-function mutation and that a transposon insertion in the ROS promoter might contribute to differences in expression between A. majus and A. charidemi. Ros genotypes were found to be strongly correlated with pigmentation in the corolla tube in A. majus x A. charidemi hybrids, and to a lesser extent with corolla lobe pigmentation, although NILs suggested that ROS did not correspond to the major-effect QTL indentified in LG3. I also mapped a minor-effect QTL for tube pigmentation to a region of LG4 containing the ABP structural gene Candica. Analysis of NILs revealed that Inc was not the second major-effect QTL mapped to LG7, although sequence differences were detected between Inc alleles of A. majus and A. charidemi. I was further able to narrow down the region containing the second LG7 major-effect QTL to an interval of 11 cM, between two molecular markers, which could be used to determine the likely QTL genotypes of segregating NILs. Surprisingly, several ABP genes, particularly Nivea, Inc and Pallida, were expressed at higher levels in pale flowers that were homozygous for the A. chardemi QTL allele than in their dark flowered siblings that carried an A. majus allele. This suggests that ABP genes might be up-regulated in pale flowers as part of a negative feedback mechanism. Two potential roles of the LG7 QTL are considered 1) its requirement for anthocyanin modification or transport to the vacuole, so that a build-up of cytosolic anthocyanins or their break-down products in pale flowers increases structural gene expression but cannot compensate for the overall reduction in anthocyanin, or 2) a role in promoting production of flavonols at the expense of anthocyanins.

Thesis (MScAgric)--Stellenbosch University, 2003.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Protea cut flowers are exported worldwide but the vase life of some species and cultivars is considerably shortened by post-harvest leaf blackening. Research has established carbohydrate depletion to be positively correlated with this disorder. Consequently, a study had been made of the carbohydrate status of various species and cultivars, as well as the effect of supplemental glucose (pre and post-storage) on leaf blackening. Glucose, fructose, sucrose and starch concentrations of various Protea species and cultivars held in water were measured at harvest, and again at leaf blackening initiation. All measured carbohydrates declined significantly in 'Carnival', 'Pink Ice' and 'Sheila'. In 'Cardinal' all carbohydrate concentrations decreased significantly, except the sucrose concentration in the inflorescence. 'Susara' and 'Ivy' had very high initial carbohydrate concentrations in the leaves which decreased significantly. The very high initial carbohydrate concentrations in the inflorescence of 'Ivy' declined significantly. 'Brenda' differed from the other cultivars and species in that glucose concentrations increased over time. Carbohydrate concentrations of most of the tested proteas declined significantly from harvest to the initiation of leaf blackening. This highlighted the dependence of the leaves and inflorescence on the carbohydrate reserves, further substantiating the carbohydrate depletion theory. The inflorescences were characterized by high fructose and glucose concentrations and low sucrose concentrations when compared to the leaves. It was hypothesized that glucose pulsing and cold storage at 1°C for three weeks would significantly reduce leaf blackening. 'Brenda', 'Cardinal', 'Carnival', 'Pink Ice', 'Susara ' and 'Sylvia' had significantly less leaf blackening with glucose treatments of 4 and 10%. Leaf blackening of 'Sheila', P. cynaroides and P. grandiceps was not significantly reduced by glucose pulsing. P. magnifica showed a small, but significant, reduction in leaf blackening in response to the 3, 6 and 9% treatments after 10 days only, but despite this, leaf blackening was unacceptably high. 'Pink Ice' harvested at the soft tip stage had less leaf blackening than those harvested open or closed. Toxicity symptoms on the leaves, and in some instances flowers, were observed at higher glucose concentrations (8 and 10%) onP. grandiceps, P. cynaroides, 'Cardinal' and 'Sheila'. All glucose treatments resulted in toxicity symptoms on P. magnifica. A decrease in nonstructural carbohydrates post-harvest apparently occurs in all proteas but it appears that only members of the Ligulatae respond to glucose. Glucose pulsing followed by cold storage at 1°C for three weeks in combination with post-storage glucose vase solutions, significantly reduced leaf blackening of some Protea cultivars. Glucose (1 and 2%), with hypochlorite, significantly delayed leaf blackening in 'Cardinal' and 'Sylvia' after seven days. Leaf blackening of 'Brenda', 'Carnival', 'Pink Ice' and 'Susara' was not significantly reduced by the glucose vase solutions. Other disinfectants, in combination with the sugar treatments, need to be evaluated since the hypochlorite treatment had a dehydrating effect on all the cultivars and resulted in increased leaf blackening. Carbohydrate supplementation of protea flowers with glucose, pre and post-storage, will help meet the post-harvest carbohydrate requirements of certain Protea cultivars and species to an extent. Glucose treatments must be seen in conjunction with maintaining the cold chain and when combined with cold chain maintenance, can extend the storage and vase life.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Protea snyblomme word wêreldwyd uitgevoer alhoewel die vaasleeftyd van sommige spesies en kultivars beduidend verkort word deur na-oes loof verbruining. Navorsing het koolhidraatverbruik positief gekorreleer met hierdie probleem. Gevolglik is 'n studie gemaak van die koolhidraatstatus van verskeie spesies en kultivars asook die effek van addisionele glukose (voor en na opberging) op loofverbruining. Glukose, fruktose, sukrose en stysel konsentrasies van verskeie Protea spesies en kultivars wat in water gehou is, is bepaal met oes en weer met die eerste tekens van loofverbruining. Al die gemete koolhidraatkonsentrasies het beduidend afgeneem in 'Carnival', 'Pink Ice' en 'Sheila'. In 'Cardinal' het al die koolhidraatkonsentrasies beduidend afgeneem, behalwe vir die sukrosekonsentrasie in die blom. 'Susara' en 'Ivy' het baie hoë begin koolhidraatkonsentrasies in die blare wat beduidend afneem. Die baie hoë inisiële koolhidraatkonsentrasies in die blom van 'Ivy' neem beduidend af met tyd. 'Brenda' verskil van die ander kultivars en spesies deurdat die glukosekonsentrasies toeneem met tyd. Koolhidraatkonsentrasies van die meeste getoetste proteas neem beduidend af vanaf oes totdat die eerste tekens van loofverbruining verskyn. Dit het die afhanklikheid van die blare en blom op die koolhidraatreserwes beklemtoon en daardeur verder die koolhidraatteorie ondersteun. Die blomme is gekarakteriseer deur hoë fruktose- en glukosekonsentrasies en lae sukrosekonsentrasies wanneer dit met die blare vergelyk is.Die hipotese is gestel dat die voorsiening van glukose, vir 'n aantal ure, gekombineerd met koue opberging by 1°C vir drie weke loofverbruining beduidend sal verminder. 'Brenda', 'Cardinal', 'Carnival', 'Pink lee', 'Susara' en 'Sylvia' het beduidend minder loofverbruining met glukose behandelings tussen 4 en 10%. Loofverbruining van 'Sheila', P. cynaroides en P. grandiceps is nie beduidend verminder deur glukose behandelings nie. P. magnifica het 'n klein, maar beduidende verlaging in loofverbruining getoon met die 3, 6 en 9% behandelings na 10 dae, maar ten spyte hiervan was loofverbruining onaanvaarbaar hoog. 'Pink lee' is geoes by die sagte punt stadium en het minder loofverbruining gehad as blomme wat oop of toe geoes is. Toksisiteitsimptome op die blare, en in sommige gevalle blomme, is waargeneem met hoër glukose konsentrasies (8 en 10%) op P. grandiceps, P. cynaroides, 'Cardinal' en 'Sheila'. Alle glukosebehandelings het toksisiteitsimptome tot gevolg gehad op P. magnifica. 'n Afname in nie-strukturele koolhidrate na oes kom waarskynlik voor in alle proteas maar dit wil voorkom of slegs lede van die Ligulatae positief reageer op glukose. Glukosebehandeling gevolg deur koue opberging by 1°C vir drie weke in kombinasie met na-stoor glukose vaasoplossings het loofverbruining van sommige Protea kultivars beduidend verminder. Glukose (l en 2%), saam met hipoehloriet, het loofverbruining beduidend verminder in 'Cardinal' en 'Sylvia' na sewe dae. Loofverbruining van 'Brenda', 'Carnival', 'Pink lee' en 'Susara' is nie beduidend verminder deur die glukose vaasoplossings nie. Ander ontsmettingsmiddels in kombinasie met die suikerbehandelings moet geëvalueer word aangesien die hipoehlorietbehandeling 'n dehidrerende effek op al die kultivars gehad het en 'n toename in loofverbruining tot gevolg gehad het. Byvoeging van glukose by proteablomme, voor en na opberging, sal tot 'n mate help om in die na-oes koolhidraatbehoeftes van sekere Protea kultivars en spesies te voorsien. Glukosebehandelings moet saam met die beheer van die koueketting gesien word en wanneer gekombineerd met koueketting beheer kan dit opberg en vaasleeftyd verleng.

This Diploma Thesis deals with the logistics chain of flowers and its individual components. The aim is to characterize the whole chain of flowers and to describe its components - from the grower to the retailer - and to suggest options for streamlining, mostly from the ecological perspective. The influence of different means of transport and heated greenhouses on the environment is evaluated through carbon footprint calculations. Part of the work is also devoted to the characteristics of the flower industry in the Czech Republic. The thesis came to the conclusion that the best is to transport flowers by ship, it is good for their quality and the less harmful for the environment. The second best choice is rail, also with very good quality of flowers and then the road and airplane, which is still less harmful to the environment than growing flowers in heated greenhouses.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Namaqualand, South Africa, is a desert system characterised by predictable winter rainfall and mild temperatures. Flowering coincides with the wet season which imposes constraints on pollination success. The wide-spread phenomenon of flower closure in the flora may represent an adaptation for protecting sensitive pollen from damage by moisture (dew, rain). The literature dealing with the subject is sparse and we addressed this gap by investigating patterns of flower closure in relation with environmental variables (potential cues). We also determined the effect of water on pollen in field and laboratory situations. The findings are that air temperature closely reflects moisture levels and is the cue for diurnal patterns in flower closure. Of the abiotic factors tested, it best explains the biological variable of flower temperature which is closely correlated with flower closure. Variation among species in their response to ambient temperature is demonstrated by individual thresholds for flower opening and differing strengths of the relationship. The detrimental effect of moisture on pollen viability emerges in four species (Mesembryanthemaceae, Asteraceae) where exposure to water caused significant pollen damage. Field experiments on two of these species confirm significant damage under natural conditions. Petal closure is the dominant protective mechanism in these plants and effectively prevents losses in reproductive potential caused by moisture. This has evolutionary significance as many Namaqualand species persist via annual recruitment. In two species (Asteraceae) that do not close their petals above inflorescences, pollen viability was retained despite placement in water. They may have a different protective strategy, such as a germination inhibitor, or their pollen could be insensitive to water.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Seed dispersal is a crucial ecological and evolutionary process that allows plants to colonize sites and expand their ranges, while also reducing inbreeding depression and facilitating the spread of adaptive genetic variation. However, our fundamental understanding of seed dispersal is limited due to the difficulty of directly observing dispersal events. In recent years, genetic marker methods have furthered our understanding of colonization and range expansion due to seed dispersal. Most investigations focus on regional scales of dispersal, due to low levels of variation in the chloroplast genome (cpDNA), which can serve as an indirect measure of seed dispersal. Here, I employ a whole-genome assay of cpDNA variation in Plagiobothrys nothofulvus to resolve variation due to patterns of seed dispersal within a 400x400 meter section of the Whetstone Savanna Preserve in Central Point, OR, USA. Whetstone is characterized by a mosaic of habitat types, including vernal pools, hummocks of dry prairie, and large Ceanothus cuneatus bushes, as well as a network of vole runways. Plagiobothrys nothofulvus grows in dense patches on hummocks within this prairie.
I found evidence of limited seed dispersal in P. nothofulvus, indicated by strong genetic structure over distances of less than 100 meters. There was little evidence that geographic distance predicts genetic distance; environmental features have a stronger influence on dispersal. Habitat preference was the strongest predictor of genetic variation in P. nothofulvus, indicating that it may be a habitat specialist in this prairie. Flower density also accounted for a significant portion of dispersal, which may be a consequence of the annual life history of P. nothofulvus resulting in seasonal turnover and lack of competition with adult plants. Least-cost-path analysis indicated that seeds are secondarily dispersed by small mammals along vole runways. Overall, I found significant evidence that landscape features influence dispersal, even at a very fine spatial scale.

“After flowered “ is not a fully negative meaning. Insist on the belief that there must be more to remain for us to discover, I try to develop an application based on a certain concept of flower decoration design. By reading reference materials discussed about imagines, symbols and patterns of flowers, evidences are found to prove those imagines, symbols and patterns do be connected with human emotions. Flowers are regarded as materials for decorations in life, but the flower patterns are usually easily regarded as tokens of female imagines in various designs. That’s not completely true. Through history, it is shown that either usual accouterments or flower decorations are not only used by females, but males as well. Therefore this essay would focus on reading the symbols of flowers and combined with male imagine inside in order to offer another new possibility of flower decoration design. During the process of this essay, I tried different kinds of medium, included the scanning of solid objects, photography and sketches, to create a vivid effect which was matched for the imagines. Assistant by the computer-integrated manufacturing and fixing step by step, finally a set of imagines accorded with my concept of design were born. They are roses correlated with loves, narcissus correlated with narcissism and self-centeredness, a series symbols and meanings of flowers, a poetic set extracted from Chinese poetry, and a series of culture-exchanged. In summary, we can find plenty of possibilities in flower design with male imagines. After flowered, there is a infinite universe waited to be explore. Using our imagination well and putting ideas into performance in wider way, we will be surprised at ourselves.

The aim of this study is to discuss the performance of floriculture color schemes for dried flowers and preserved flowers. With synthesized literature review and personal study in flower creations, spectral colors, which are close to primary colors of light and pigment, red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violetserved as the fundamental colors in my floral designs, along with four color images in Practical Color Co-ordinate System, PCCS.Flowers with similar shades were selected from PCCS color charts, from there, 24 color schemes for wreaths were established.Thereafter, overall visual presentation was created according tothe said color images in PCCS, in order to demonstrate harmonious effects with consistent color pallets. In the process of production, color compensation techniques were applied to add richness to my floral designs. More creations with unique colors are expected in the future to develop my personal style in this field. Furthermore, by combining and rearranging multiple elements, as well as seeking resources in various aspects in the journey of exploring floriculture, it will create more possibilities in my floral creations.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
This study investigated flower initiation and development in
Boronia megastigma Nees.
Detailed morphological descriptions of flower, vegetative, and
reverted buds have been given. Flowers were found to initiate from
uncommitted axillary buds in the axils of mature leaves on current
seasons laterals. Flower buds usually initiated in autumn and
continued to differentiate slowly over winter, reaching anthesis in
early spring.
Photosynthesis and respiration rates were measured at a range of
temperatures (using infra red gas analysis) on both fully expanded and
immature leaves of current seasons laterals. Apparent photosynthesis
was highest in the mature tissue and peaked at 20°C for both types of
leaves. The dark respiration rate was greater in the immature leaves
and continued to increase with temperature. True photosynthesis was
highest at 25°C. A light saturation curve was carried out on fully expanded
leaves (at 20°C) and occurred between 400-600µmol m-2 s-1 .
This data was used to estimate photosynthetic rates in the glasshouse
and also to calculate uptake rates when labelling with 14CO2.
The effects of a night break, PFD, temperature, and daylength on
flower initiation and development were studied. As a consequence,
low night temperatures (<10°C) in combination with short days (10hrs)
and 50 to 100 percent full sunlight was termed "inductive" conditions,
whereas moderate night temperatures (>l5°C) and long days (16hrs) was
called "noninductive" conditions. Boronia does not appear to be a
photoperiodically sensitive plant, and providing PFD is not limiting
it has little effect on flowering under "inductive" conditions.
Night temperature had a dominant effect on the initiation and
development of the flowers. Flower development rather than flower
initiation seemed to be more affected by the environmental parameters.
The same environments that favoured flower bud initiation also
resulted in the highest percentage of flowers that reached anthesis.
Some degree of antagonism appeared to exist between apical activity
and the initiation of generative buds and their development.
Correlative inhibition by the vegetative apex was investigated by
removal of the most apical three pairs of leaves in "inductive" and
"noninductive" conditions before and after floral initiation. On
previously non-flowering laterals the rapid re-establishment of apical
dominance prevented floral bud initiation in the most apical remaining
pair of leaf axils. On pre-induced laterals the removal of the apex
enhanced flower differentiation particularly in the most apically
remaining leaf axils, and the extent of this was modified by the
environment .
Autoradiography was used to follow the distribution of 14C
photosynthate during flower initiation and development under
"inductive" and "noninductive" conditions. This method was used
also to study the reversion of floral differentiation, and the effect of
apex removal. The partitioning of labelled 14CO2 into a chloroform
soluble fraction, proteins, sugars, starch, free amino acids and
amides, organic acids and phosphates, and structural residue was
measured (using liquid scintillation counting). Mature leaves and
immature leaves were analyzed separately during the first 70 days of
"inductive" conditions. Quite distinct differences in the
partitioning patterns of some of the fractions were noted between the
two types of tissue, and the differences were reduced after 40-50
days. The level of partitioning into the amino acid fraction in both
types during the first 20 days of "inductive" conditions.
Consequently the fluctuation of free amino acids and amides in the
mature leaves was measured by HPLC during the first 30 days of
inductive conditions. The major amino acids and amides were found to
be alanine, asparagine, methionine, and proline. The concentration
of many amino acids was affected by the change in environment and
there were several changes of concentration over a period of time.
In vitro techniques were used to investigate apical dominance,
tissue maturity, and the influence of daylength and temperature on
flower initiation and development. The highest percentage of flowers
was found on explants that had fully expanded leaves and no vegetative
apex. Fewer flowers on these explants reverted or aborted before
reaching anthesis. No floral initiation occurred on explants that
retained the vegetative apex or that did not have fully expanded
leaves. The environmental influence on initiation and subsequent
differentiation and development was similar to the results found in
the in vivo experiments. Some competition between flowering and
vegetative vigour was demonstrated in vitro and on whole plants.
The effects of cytokinin and auxin were also studied in vivo and
in vitro. The effects of cytokinin and auxin were modified by the
environmental parameters used. Increased cytokinin concentration
enhanced the initiation and rate of differentiation of floral and
vegetative buds, however, many flower buds reverted with higher rates
of cytokinin (4-10 mg BAP/l) and it was thought that normal
differentiation and development to anthesis possibly requires less BAP
than does initiation. The presence of IAA appeared to be unnecessary
for flower initiation, differentiation, and development. In
"noninductive" conditions higher levels of IAA (3 mg/l) were promotive
to rooting.
The process(es) of flower initiation and development were
discussed in light of the experiments detailed above.

Land of Flowers is a collection of short fiction presenting a Florida that stands in counterpoint to the image the state holds in the national consciousness—an image of a backward region rife with rednecks, retirees, racists, and religious kooks. In contrast, these stories feature the natives, the tourists, the immigrants, and also the transplants who are drawn to this “paradise” with hopes of finding warmth, escape, and a new life that so often fails to materialize.
Many of the inhabitants of these stories are mired in a state of introspection. In the title piece, an early Spanish explorer contemplates his existence as well as that of God's. In another story, an actor/bartender considers how eking out a living at a luxurious resort has sapped his passion for the theater. In trying to save a family of doves, a father finds a metaphor for his role as protector and provider for his own family. Another story is about an old man dying in the palmetto brush who discovers comfort in a place far from a society that no longer suits him. Space and place are the threads that holds these stories together: place in regard to the topographical Florida, and space in regard to where the main characters are mentally.
The true physical landscape of the territory that once extended as far west as New Orleans is depicted in many of the stories—a landscape shorn of condos, strip malls, and theme parks, a landscape that defines Florida as wild, open, raw, and primal in the best sense of the word. These stories of people, place, and space work against the stereotypes and toward a deeper understanding of Florida.M.F.A.

Flowers in Tomb, for large ensemble, is composed in 2016. The piece is a long development based on descending steady lines. These lines symbolize my personal grief towards the girl Daiyu (黛玉) who buries the flowers in Daguanyuan (大观园), the garden of Rongguo Mansion (荣国府). The story is from the traditional Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chambet (..红楼梦..). At the moment when Daiyu sees the dying flowers, she associates their lives with herself. Lives are just like flowers, their seeds once came from wind, and then their beauties later leave with wind. Daiyu was sent from her family to the royal garden Daguanyuan for a better life, but because she was not born here, she never feels that she belongs. The relationship between Daiyu and Daguanyuan symbolizes the relationship between me and the world I’m living in, and thus triggers my deep sympathy towards Daiyu and her buried flowers. The piece is a personal reflection of my sympathy.

Abstract The purpose of the research was to discover the product differentiation in flower industry. By using price analysis between Taiwan’s fresh cut roses and preserved roses which is quoted to Taiwan’s H company from Japan’s Amifa Inc. The result revealed the pricing of latter can be 8 times greater than former that has made an excess value of flowers. While moving forward to the market of orchids, the study has found 5 to 8 times of extra price difference in Japan’s P company preserved orchids when comparing to Taiwan’s fresh cut orchids. According to ITC (International Trading Center) statistics, the global import net value of fresh cut flowers had reached 230 billion New Taiwan Dollar in 2015, which is believed to represent the demand of consumer market share and the promising potential growth in future. In summary, the study findings may serve as a guide to create additional value after the ordinary cut flowers have proceeded with unique preserved process. By pursuing the business pattern of product differentiation, we expect the development will bring the prosperity to Taiwan’s flower industry, and also lead both transformation and evaluation in modern knowledge- based economy. Key Words: Roses, phalaenopsis, fresh cut flowers, preserved flowers, flower industry

For studying the motivation of pressed flowers learner and promotion of pressed flowers , quantitative and qualitative research were both be adopted in this thesis. This study interviewed several senior pressed flowers teachers, and implemented a questionnaire survey on the student who learned pressed flowers. The results acquired by this study are as follows: (1) The history of the promotion of Pressed flowers has been more than 20 years. The promotion is mainly done by individuals who teaching pressed flowers. Promotion by individuals, and peoples’ lack of habit of using flowers, and the expensive materials have made pressed flowers difficult to lure much attention by people, even some learners have been won outstanding prizes in the international competitions. (2) The learners of pressed flowers are mainly female, with the motivation of relaxation and depressurizing by pressed flowers. Pressed flowers can also become a professional skill that the learners can rely on it to build up their own business. And the pressed flowers works can be used interior decoration. (3) People’s experience in flowers and the way of contacts with the promotion information of pressed flowers affect the motivation of learning. The people who have more deeper experience in flowers would get the more information of pressed flowers, and would cause more interest of learning pressed flowers. This study suggests that the people running the business of pressed flowers can attempt to develop male learners’ market, adjust the course direction according to the learners’ motivation , and evaluate the workability of strategic alliance with the businessmen of fresh flowers so as to expand the source of learners.
