Part truth, part fiction, and featuringboth real and invented characters, the book follows painters, poets, enslaved people, farmers, and artisansliving and working in a world still made largely of wood. Some of the historical characters—such as ThomasCole, Margaret Fuller, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Fanny Kemble, Edgar Allan Poe, and Nat Turner—are wellknown,while others are not. But all are creators of private and grand designs. The Forest unfolds in brief stories. Each episode reveals an intricate lost world. Characters cross paths orgo their own ways, each striving for something different but together forming a pattern of life. For AlexanderNemerov, the forest is a description of American society, the dense and discontinuous woods of nation, thefoliating thoughts of different people, each with their separate shade and sun. Through vivid descriptions ofthe people, sights, smells, and sounds of Jacksonian America, illustrated with paintings, prints, and photographs,The Forest brings American history to life on a human scale.","PeriodicalId":17307,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42154506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Coverage of the professors who taught botany during UNC’sfirst century includes their biographical background, pedagogical style, scientific instruction, and contributionsto science. The academic influences that each of these educators had on Carolina are also noted. Theconcluding chapter, constituting about one-sixth of the volume, describes the UNC Department of Botany,established in 1908. The principal focus of this chapter is the department’s accomplishments, its faculty, andits graduate students. Several significant themes are woven through the text, particularly for the 1800s: the University Museum,the idea of establishing a model farm, the Elisha Mitchell Scientific Society, the emergence of laboratory practicein the curriculum, the University Library and the sciences, and the campus landscape and its beautification.Included among the noteworthy milestones of the university and of Chapel Hill are the first woman to teachbotany, the early history of the freedmen’s school for Black children, and the establishment of the campus’sfirst chemical teaching laboratory.","PeriodicalId":17307,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46644193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this study aimed at investigating the effects of effluents from electroplating companies on growth, heavy metals accumulation and concentrations in Amaranthus viridis. Seeds of A. viridis were obtained from the National Institute of Horticulture, Ibadan. Loam soils were collected from Lagos State University and two samples of electroplating effluents were obtained from Oregun, Lagos. Seeds were sown, nursed, and transplanted in a uniform bucket filled with 5 kg loam soil and transplanted seedlings were treated with Effluent A (5 and 10% conc.) and Effluent B (5 and 10% conc.) and control respectively. Growth parameters such as plant height and so on were measured and plant samples harvested were analyzed for heavy metal concentrations using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. Data collected were subjected to a one-way analysis of variance. Results revealed that Effluents A and B are highly acidic and above discharge limits. Also, the result revealed that 5% conc. of Effluents A and B had more effects on growth (p < 0.05) of A. viridis across the harvests than 10% conc. in relation to control. This result showed that the effluent samples affect the growth rhythms of plants. Results further revealed vigorous accumulation of the heavy metals: Zn (241.66 µg kg–1 ± 0.10 at third harvest in Effluent A: 10%), Cu (68.25 µg kg–1 ± 0.23 at first harvest in Effluent B: 5%), Cr (500 µg kg–1 ± 0.90 in harvests at all concentrations.) and Ni (500 µg kg–1 ± 0.90 at third harvest in Effluent B: 5%) and all these metals are far above the control and permissible limits of WHO/FAO recommendations. From this study, it could be concluded that electroplating effluents had adverse effects on growth and increased metals’ bioaccumulation in A. viridis. Therefore, the treatment of effluents to enhance an eco-friendly environment should be done.","PeriodicalId":17307,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89618076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, none of the past experiments with cross pollination between different rice cultivars ever reported the respective flower opening time (FOT) and flower exposure duration (FED) of the parent cultivars, until recently. The authors present here the first record of FOT and FED of 1114 indica rice landraces of South and Southeast Asia, growing during summer and winter seasons in three consecutive years. The authors also present an analysis of the influences of the growing season on the anthesis behaviour, and present the first records of the FOT and FED variability on sunny and cloudy days of a large number of landraces. The data show that rice florets tend to open later in the morning (that is, take longer time to anthesis after sunrise) on sunny days than on cloudy days, and also significantly later during long day seasons (spring and summer) than during short day season (winter); and that FED is inversely related to both FOT and the length of duration from sunrise to first flower opening. The wide ranges of FOT (8:50 a.m. to 12:40 p.m.) and FED (15 to 194 minutes) also suggest the ample time window for receiving pollen from neighbouring cultivars with different FOT, enhancing the chances of cross pollination between hundreds of rice landraces with FOT and FED overlaps.","PeriodicalId":17307,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79108688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work focused on elucidating the diversity, structure, and carbon potentials of a forest-savannah ecosystem. To achieve this, 8 forest plots that measured 50 m × 50 m each was set up in a forest-savannah landscape and used to identify and measure tree species ≥ 10 cm diameter at breast height (DBH measured at 130 cm). Species importance value was used to summarize the biodiversity patterns and the aboveground carbon estimates were elicited with the allometric equation. 43 species within 22 families were enumerated and the diversity was generally low (ranging from 1.82-2.5). Species such as Daniellia oliveri (Rolfe) Hutch. & Dalziel, Pyrostria guinnensis Comm. ex A. Juss, Dialium guineense Willd. and Margariteria discoidea (Baill.) G.L Webster were the dominant species, and had the highest importance values of 113.06, 55.13, 28.16 and 16.95, respectively, while Allophlus africanus P. Beauv., Annona senegalensis Pers., Anthonatha macrophylla P. Beauv., Ficus capensis Thumb. and Lecaniodiscus cupanioides Planch had the least importance values of 0.16 each. Carbon estimates ranged from 16.43172-42.9298 t/Ha. Most frequent species with higher basal areas no doubt contributed much to the carbon estimates, but did not have higher capacities in storing carbon. Managing the ecosystem with more carbon-dense species was seen as a suitable strategy for addressing environmental change in the ecosystem and region.
