   Extractions: 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.

   Extractions: Adapted by Diane Relf, Extension Specialist, Environmental Horticulture, and Bonnie Appleton, Extension Specialist, Nursery Crops, Virginia Tech Publication Number 426-611, posted June 2000 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. To select wisely among the many species and varieties of flowering trees available, consider:

   Extractions: FAX: 01603 450045 "We have known for some time that many plants need cold treatment (vernalisation) to accelerate flowering", said Professor Caroline Dean (an Associate Research Director at JIC and head of the team that identified how VRN2 works). "We have now isolated a gene that enables the plant to remember that it has had a cold treatment once warm growing conditions return". The common weed, Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear or Thale Cress) would flower 3-4 weeks after seed germination if it were not for the activity of a gene (called FLC) which inhibits the flowering process and delays the production of flowers for up to 3 months. Scientists measured the effect of cold on the FLC gene and discovered that a period of low temperatures (3-8 weeks at 4o- 8oC), reduced the activity of the gene. In this 'low activity' state, the gene's ability to inhibit flowering is reduced and so the time taken for the plant to flower is reduced. Plants that would take 3 months to flower without a cold treatment, will flower in a few weeks if they are vernalised (kept in the cold for a month) and then returned to warm growth conditions.

   Extractions: The Field Museum houses some of the world's finest collections in anthropology, botany, geology and zoology. Curators and associates in the scientific departments have pursued research programs in over 50 countries throughout the world. The Field Museum recognizes the need to support basic research on our collections by interested students and scholars throughout the world. To this end, the Museum offers a modest number of grants and fellowships to visiting scientists and students for research and training on our scientific and library collections. Grants are open on a competitive basis to all individuals in the national and international scholarly community working on problems related to natural history. Preference is given to projects related to the research interests of a staff member of The Field Museum. Specific information on individual departmental research areas may be obtained by writing to the chair of one of the four scientific departments (Anthropology, Botany, Geology, or Zoology). Applicants must arrange a letter of support from a Field Museum curator in the appropriate scientific department. Applications may be sent directly to the Chairperson of the Scholarship Committee. Funds are available in three general categories: Visiting Scholarships, Graduate Student Fellowships, And Undergraduate Internships. These three categories, together with submission deadlines, are discussed below. Additional information can be obtained by writing to the Chairperson of the Scholarship Committee. Applicants for all funding categories must contact an appropriate curator at The Field Museum before submitting their application.

    Extractions: Global warming could lead to greater misery for hay fever sufferers, say experts. Hay fever is caused by an allergic reaction to pollen released when plants begin to flower. And experts believe the milder climate in the UK is likely to lead to many plants flowering earlier and for longer periods. Hay fever is affecting more and more people They also suspect that the modern trend for mowing the lawn all year round may pile on the misery still further, and lead to more people developing the condition. Although cut grass is usually too short to flower, hay fever can still be triggered by chemicals contained in grass sap, which are released when it is cut. The Woodland Trust and the National Pollen Research Unit plan to monitor the effects of climate change on the hay fever season. They are asking people to record the time of the first flowering of early grass species such as Yorkshire fog, cocksfoot, meadow foxtail and Timothy.

15. Botany Online: Features Of Flowering Plants
    flowering plants (Angiospermae) represent one of the largest groups of primary producers.  
    http://www.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/biologie/b_online/e02/02.htm
    
    Extractions: Flowering plants (Angiospermae) represent one of the largest groups of primary producers. Their contribution to the production of oxygen as well as that to the nutriment of animals and man is consequently very large. All features reviewed in this chapter refer to seed-producing plants, also called spermatophytes. Typically, flowering plants are organized into an underground root and a shoot above ground that consists itself of a stem and leaves . The organs of a plant that serve sexual reproduction are the flowers . Part of the pollinated flower ripens and becomes the fruit In contrast to many other plant groups, flowering plants are striking, numerous and common. They are the most important group of the so-called primary producers that generate the prerequisite for life on earth: oxygen. Green plants have the ability to convert solar energy into chemical energy (photosynthesis) producing the oxygen necessary for all other organisms as a by-product. The useable plants among the flowering plants are - directly or indirectly - the basis of human existence; they are, too, an important economical factor. A basic knowledge of flowering plants should therefore be among everybody's general knowledge. Much has been written about flowering plants and every reader of this chapter will miss something that he regards worth knowing, while he might find other information trivial. But everybody will understand that it is impossible to review in a few lines a theme about which an extensive, partly popular scientific literature exists. And although this term may sometimes be used in a disparaging way, most of the popular scientific literature is scientifically correct, lucid and, above all, very well illustrated.
