Flowering vines are employed in landscape design with both aesthetic Jack the Giant-Killer had the specimen plant to outshine all specimen plants growing on his property, only to hack down the famous beanstalk vine at the end of the fairy tale. "Clinging vine" has a bad connotation, deriving from the observation that a tree soars to the heights on its own merits, while a vine, even if it climbs to the very crown of the tallest tree, reaches such heights only through the tree's support (Jack's vine didn't need a support; but, then again, his vine was magical). People even become the victims of a ravenous flowering vine in the musical, "Little Shop of Horrors."

Selecting Landscape Plants: Flowering Trees Adapted by Diane Relf, Extension Specialist, Environmental Horticulture, and Bonnie Appleton, Extension Specialist, Nursery Crops, Virginia Tech Publication Number 426-611, posted June 2000 Introduction In the home landscape, flowering trees are secondary in importance to shade trees. The basic elements of framing, background, and shading are provided by shade trees, while flowering trees provide showy and unusual features with their floral beauty and seasonal interest. In addition, many flowering trees have colorful or interesting fruits which may be edible or attractive to birds. Flowering trees must fit into the landscape. Only after deciding where they can be used most effectively should you try to select the variety to be used. If a certain type of flowering tree is desired, make the necessary changes to fit it into the landscape rather than simply placing it in the first open space. Use relatively few flowering trees in the landscape. A small, residential property usually needs only two or three trees. Rows, large masses, and formal designs can be used more readily on estates or commercial properties. Selections Factors To select wisely among the many species and varieties of flowering trees available, consider:

7. Salk Scientists Identify Pathway That Determines When Plants Flower The mechanism that leads to plants flowering early in response to shaded conditions has largely been unknown, said Chory. And http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2003-07/si-ssi070103.php

Public release date: 1-Jul-2003 Contact: Robert Bradford bradford@salk.edu Salk Institute Salk scientists identify pathway that determines when plants flower Salk scientists have defined a new pathway that controls how plants flower in response to shaded, crowded conditions, and their findings may have implications for increasing yield in crops ranging from rice to wheat. The study, published in the June 19 issue of Nature, was led by Salk professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator Joanne Chory and Salk/Howard Hughes Medical Institute postdoctoral fellow Pablo Cerdán. "The mechanism that leads to plants flowering early in response to shaded conditions has largely been unknown," said Chory. "And this is a major problem for crops, which are planted at high density and often shade each other in the field. By understanding this process, we may someday be able to control plant flowering responses to shade and, in turn, increase the yield of crops." The Salk researchers focused on what is known in plants as the "shade-avoidance syndrome." When plants grow in high density, they perceive a decrease in the relative amounts of incoming red light to light of other wavelengths. This change of light serves as a warning for competition, prodding the plants to flower and create seeds. The byproduct of this process is that plant stems grow longer and leaf volume declines, leading to decreases in biomass and yield. To understand the biology behind this process, the Salk scientists looked at a group of phytochromes, photoreceptors in plants that trigger the "shade-avoidance response." Using the common mustard seed plant Arabidopsis-the first plant to have its entire genome sequenced by a multinational consortium that involved Salk professor Joe Ecker and other researchers-Chory and Cerdán identified the specific protein that triggers flowering in response to suboptimal light conditions.

Site Index DEVELOPMENT FLOWERING TO SENESCENCE Flowering Light perception is often involved in the control of flowering. When plants flower at a particular time of year it is usually because they respond to day-length. Not all plants are regulated in this way: "day neutral" plants will flower at any time that they are able to grow. So-called "free flowering" garden plants like Petunia and Impatiens have been selected for this feature. Spring- or fall-flowering plants like strawberry and chrysanthemum tend to be short-day plants, whereas summer-flowering plants like coneflower and many grasses tend to be long-day plants. "Long and short day" are misleading terms on two counts: Both may flower with the same actual day-length. The long-day plant requires that the day should be longer than a critical period. The short day plant requires that it should be shorter than a critical period. It would be more accurate to call them "short night" or "long night" plants, since it it the length of night that is important rather than the length of day.

Weekly Online Lesson Online Lesson Archive Grade Level: 4-8 Subject: Botany Flowering Plants Scientists at the University of Florida have been studying the newly discovered fossil of the oldest, most complete flowering plant ever found. The underwater plant, which is of a species never before seen, has the same characteristics as the most primitive of flowering plants. The plant lived in a Chinese lake 125 million years ago. Unlike flowering plants today, it had no flashy petals, but it did have a seed enclosed in its immature fruit. The seeds of this plant probably dispersed in the water and floated up along the shore to germinate in shallow water. Scientists think flowering plants later developed colored petals and fragrance and tasty fruits to help in reproduction. The showy, good-smelling flowers attract insects to help in pollination and animals eat the fleshy fruit of plants, which helps spread the seeds. Learn more about the ancient flowering plant from the Florida Museum of Natural History With this new discovery, and millions of people now planting spring flowers around their homes and gardens, it's a good week to learn about flowering plants.

Introduction to the Anthophyta the flowering plants If you have ever stopped to smell the roses, then you are familiar with the largest group of plants , the Anthophyta. The distinctive feature of this group is the flower , a cluster of highly-specialized leaves which participate in reproduction. Not all flowers are as conspicuous as the Magnolia blossom in the picture above; oaks, ivy, and grasses also produce flowers, but because they are not as showy we often do not notice them. The flowering plants are important in many ways above and beyond their aesthetic appeal in flower arrangements. Not a day goes by in which our lives are not affected by flowering plants. Nearly all of our food comes from flowering plants; grains, beans, nuts, fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices almost all come from plants with flowers, as do tea, coffee, chocolate, wine, beer, tequila, and cola. Much of our clothing comes from them as well cotton and linen are made from "fibers" of flowering plants, as are rope and burlap, and many commercial dyes are extracted from other flowering plants. We also owe them credit for a large number of our drugs, including over-the-counter medicines such as aspirin, prescribed drugs such as digitalis and atropine, and controlled drugs such as opium, cocaine, marijuana, and tobacco.
