Abstract:
Botany was part of the broad intellectual territory of one of the University of Melbourne's four foundation chairs. From his appointment in 1854 until his death in 1899, Frederick McCoy was the Professor of Natural Science and, for most of that time, also honorary Director of the Colony of Victoria's National Museum. McCoy gained ideas about botany and botanic gardens and museums while studying and working at the University of Cambridge, where he attended Professor John Stevens Henslow's botany lectures in 1847. With help from Henslow and Victoria's Government Botanist, Ferdinand Mueller, McCoy acquired botanical collections and developed a class (system) garden at the University of Melbourne, where he taught botany to arts and medical students from 1863 until the establishment of the science degree and arrival of the Professor of Biology in 1887 left him only a rarely-taken botanical subject.

Abstract:
Botanic gardens have not changed much from the day they were established until today. Generally, a botanic garden is devoted to the collection, cultivation and display of a wide range of plants. In principle, its role is to maintain a documented collection of living plants for the purpose of scientific research, conservation, display and education. However, one of the major functions of botanic gardens is being ignored, that is, to instil and generate the sense of oneness between man and nature. Basically, man is inclined to destroy nature rather than preserve it for commercial reasons. Efforts to curb this problem have not been successful. Educational programmes conducted by botanic gardens to educate visitors with scientific information regarding nature have not been adequate. They have neglected the human dimension of nature which is so important in developing a sense of oneness between man and nature. Where and how to derive the human dimension from? This paper will explore the human dimension of plants as discovered in poetry written specifically about the human dimension to reveal the closeness between man and nature. Muhammad Haji Salleh, a well-known Malaysian poet, has written poems about plants that are common in tropical botanic gardens. Textual analysis has been used to study the poems and has uncovered the human dimension in them. This discovery gives insight into a new model of botanic gardens as the manifestations of botany (science of plants) and poetry, thus providing the human dimension absent in previous models. According to this new model, then, botanic gardens have a new role to play in providing the educational programmes for the public. Keywords: poem, human dimension, botanic garden, nature Abstrak Sejak dahulu hingga ke hari ini, taman botani tidak banyak berubah dari segi fungsinya. Umumnya, taman botani memberi tumpuan pada koleksi, kultivasi dan pameran pelbagai jenis tumbuhan. Pada prinsipnya, taman botani berperanan memelihara koleksi tumbuhan hidup bagi tujuan penyelidikan saintifik, konservasi, pameran dan pendidikan. Walau bagaimanapun, salah satu fungsi taman botani telah diabaikan, iaitu menanam dan memberi kesedaran tentang kesatuan antara manusia dan alam. Atas alasan komersial, manusia cenderung untuk memusnahkan alam daripada memeliharanya. Usaha mengawal masalah ini masih belum berjaya. Program pendidikan yang berasaskan informasi saintifik yang dilaksanakan oleh taman botani untuk mendidik para pengunjungnya didapati tidak mencukupi. Dimensi manusia yang ada pada alam yang menjadi satu aspek penting kepada penyatuan manusia dengan alam telah diabaikan. Di mana dan bagaimana untuk mendapatkan dimensi manusia itu? Makalah ini meneroka dimensi manusia yang ada pada tumbuhan khususnya pokok melalui puisi-puisi yang dicipta oleh Muhammad Haji Salleh, seorang penyair terkenal di Malaysia yang telah menghasilkan puisi yang berkaitan dengan pokok-pokok yang terdapat di taman botani tropika. Analisis teks telah digunakan untuk mengkaji puisi-puisi tersebut. Kajian dapat membuktikan bahawa wujud dimensi manusia dalam puisi-puisinya. Dapatan ini telah memberikan satu wawasan baharu tentang satu model taman botani yang menjalinkan antara botani (science of botany) dengan puisi. Dengan demikian, model baru ini memberikan dimensi manusia kepada taman botani yang tiada dalam model-model taman botani yang ada sekarang. Dengan model yang baru ini, taman botani mempunyai peranan baharu dalam memberikan pendidikan kepada masyarakat umum. Kata kunci: puisi, dimensi manusia, taman botani, alam

Abstract:
The ArgumentThe popularity of botany and natural history in England combined with the demographic changes of the first half of the nineteenth century to bring about a new aesthetics of gardening, fusing horticultural practice with a connoisseurship of botanical science. Horticultural societies brought theoretical botany into the practice of gardening. Botanical and horticultural periodicals disseminated both science and prescriptions for practice, yoking them to a progressive social agenda, including the betterment of the working class and urban planning. Finally, botany was incorporated into systems of education, reinforcing the union of theory and practice.Three garden plans from the 1790s, 1835, and 1846 illustrate the embodiment of this theory and practice in the design of private suburban gardens. These horticultural/botanical gardens, described in the second half of the article, represent a neglected side of botany's bifurcated descent from Renaissance collections of curiosities into horticultural gardening and herbarium-based systematics.

Abstract:
The enchantment by Botany teaching represents not an ordinary feeling among students, and even Biology teachers, at every educational level. Researches throughout the Botany teaching area point to a fragmented, decontextualized, quite theoretical and unattractive process. Therefore, in recent years, Botany has changed from a beloved science into a neglected science because of the botanical blindness that has been established in the general population. Thus, the present work aims to present a panorama of the academic researches about Botany teaching in Brazil. It was carried out of theses, dissertations, and articles published from 2002 to 2017. This period was intentionally selected as it fits the establishment of the Guidelines Curriculum for Biological Sciences courses. In parallel, the pursuit of researches on Botany teaching in other countries was also carried out, to verify the international scenario. The investigations were developed in CAPES, IBICT, and SCIELO portals, based on previously defined descriptors. The results, published in Brazil and in other countries, point out the lack of information and a valorization crisis of the scientific knowledge in the process of Botany teaching, both in basic and higher education. This finding gains strength especially when we check the publications of the Biological Sciences - Licentiate courses. These should present deep concerns with the process of teaching to teach, as the teaching roots are similar to the way we receive and comprehend it, which seems the reason Botany teaching ends up being relegated when compared to other areas of knowledge.

Abstract:
This South African study investigated a sample of Grade 4 to 7 Natural Sciences teachers’ attitudes towards botany and botany teaching and these teachers’ botany Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK). It explored whether a relationship exists between teachers’ attitudes towards botany teaching and their PCK. The study provides an overview of international and South African literature and research on the underrepresentation of botany and the teaching of botany in Natural Sciences classes. Throughout the study insight is provided on the universal problems of plant blindness and negative attitudes towards botany and botany teaching in the Natural Sciences classroom. Data were collected during teachers’ interviews, class observations and analyses of lesson plan documents. The results indicated that most teachers harbour negative attitudes towards botany and botany teaching. There are various reasons for this negativity such as past experiences in botany training, zoochauvinism and plant blindness. The Pedagogical Content Knowledge of teachers in this study was insufficient. It was found that teachers’ attitudes towards botany teaching influence their PCK and teachers’ PCK can, in turn, influence teacher attitudes towards botany, which can affect the teachers’ ways of teaching. This study confirms that problems of plant blindness, zoochauvinism and negativity towards botany and botany teaching that occur elsewhere in the world are also prevalent among South African teachers. This confirmation casts doubts on Natural Sciences teachers’ botany PCK. This study adds to the literature on botany teaching and PCK in the South African context

Abstract:
This thesis considers the history and significance of the Museum of Economic Botany at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, focussing especially on the period from its opening in 1847 to the eve of the First World War. Looking specifically at the Museum's collection of wood specimens and artefacts, it seeks to understand the nature of economic botany during this period, and to evaluate the contribution made to the field by the Kew Museum. Through examination of the Museum's practices, networks, spaces, and objects, it sets out to address the question: how do museums produce scientific knowledge? Part One sets the context. Chapter One provides a brief historical account of nineteenth-century economic botany and the Museum. Chapter Two offers a critical overview of literatures on Kew and economic botany; on the role of place in the production, circulation, and reception of scientific knowledge; and on the role of the public museum in Victorian science and culture. It also outlines the conceptual framework of the thesis. Chapter Three presents an account of the methodology and sources. Part Two highlights museum practices. Chapters Four to Six are devoted respectively to the practices of ‘exhibition' (the spatialities, rhetorics, and rationalities of display); ‘instruction' (the educational uses of museum objects); and ‘supply' (the circulation of objects). Part Three turns to specific objects and their biographies. Chapters Seven and Eight trace respectively the production, circulation and reception of a totem pole from British Columbia and a timber trophy from Tasmania, to demonstrate how objects acquire diverse meanings in diverse contexts, and how they are used to impart meaning to particular sites. In conclusion, Chapter Nine reflects on the cumulative findings of the thesis and on its potential outcomes, and it looks beyond the thesis to recommend areas for future research and practice.

Abstract:
The necessity of light for plants to sustain their autotrophic lifestyle has made the optimization of growth to maximize light capture a crucial strategy for survival in light-limiting environments. Increases in light capture can be achieved through alterations in plant architecture, such as modifications to leaf position and stem length. Responses to the light environment are mediated by a network of photoreceptor proteins, which sense specific wavelengths of light and respond to light excitation by initiating signaling. Higher plants respond to red and far-red light through the phytochrome family, blue light through cryptochromes, the zeitlupe family, and phototropins, and UV-B light through the UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 photoreceptor. Of these photoreceptor proteins, the phototropins (phots) are perhaps the most closely tied to photosynthetic efficiency. Higher plant phots, phot1 and phot2, mediate leaf expansion to maximize the surface area available for light capture as well as control movement and positioning responses, such as petiole inclination, movement towards more favorable light conditions through phototropism, and, at a cellular level, chloroplast movement. Furthering the role of phots in optimizing responses upstream of photosynthesis, phot1 and phot2 also control stomatal opening in response to blue light, allowing the uptake of carbon dioxide into the leaf for fixation into sugars. In general, these responses are redundantly coordinated by both phot1 and phot2, with phot1 acting as the primary sensor due to its greater sensitivity. Because of the profound effect phots have on photosynthetic competence, the studies presented here examine phot1 with the goal of understanding the physiological role of phot1 sensitivity in plants and explore the possibility that enhancing phot1 sensitivity could increase plant growth. Phots consist of two N-terminal light sensing LOV (Light, Oxygen or Voltage) domains, LOV1 and LOV2, coupled to a serine/threonine kinase domain at the C-terminus. Each of the LOV domains bind a flavin mononucleotide (FMN) chromophore that allows these domains to perceive blue light. In darkness, FMN is non-covalently bound within each of the LOV domains, which repress the activity of the kinase domain. When FMN is excited by blue light, a covalent bond is formed between a conserved cysteine residue present within each LOV domain and FMN. LOV2 specifically is coupled to the kinase domain through two alpha helices, Jα and A’α, which become disordered following the formation of the covalent photoadduct. The unfolding of these alpha helices relieves repression of the kinase domain, initiating signaling. The onset of phot1 signaling is characterized by phot1 autophosphorylation and the dephosphorylation of the phot1 signaling partner NON-PHOTOTROPIC HYPOCOTYL 3 (NPH3). Over time, the covalent photoadduct decays and phot1 returns to its inactive dark state, completing the photocycle. The chemistry of the phot1 photocycle in vitro is understood in detail, but its downstream signaling following activation remains relatively elusive, with only a handful of signaling partners and phosphorylation substrates identified. For the sensitivity of phot1 to be thoroughly explored, how the phot1 photocycle affects plant growth as well as how phot1 activity is modulated by signaling partners needed to be addressed. Therefore, a biochemical approach was used to introduce mutations within LOV2 to slow its dark reversion to prolong signaling and investigate how this modulates phot1 sensitivity in vitro and in planta, and, secondly, a genetic strategy was employed to uncover whether any signaling processes can modulate phot1 sensitivity in plants. Compared to other photoreceptors that receive blue light through LOV domains, dark reversion of phot1 following a light stimulus is relatively fast, with the lit state lasting only approximately 15 minutes, while other LOV domains remain activated for many hours. To generate slow photocycle mutants of phot1, previous characterizations of slow photocycling LOV domains were exploited to engineer the phot1 photocycle to have a slower dark reversion by introducing mutations into LOV2. To study the photocycle in vitro, the phot1 light-sensing module consisting of the LOV1 and LOV2 domains (LOV1+LOV2) was heterologously expressed and purified from E. coli and the photocycle was measured spectrophotometrically. Using this approach, 13 LOV2 variants were generated and examined to identify slow photocycle mutants. Three mutations in LOV2, N476L, V478I, and L558I, were found to slow the LOV1+LOV2 photocycle in vitro. Following identification, these mutations were introduced into full-length phot1 expressed heterologously in insect cells to verify the autophosphorylation activity of each mutant. Following the characterization of the candidate slow photocycle mutants in vitro, each phot1 photocycle mutant was examined in planta in a phot1phot2 double mutant background to see whether possession of a slow photocycle increased phot1 sensitivity. Of the three candidate mutations, V478I and L558I were verified as possessing a slow dark reversion through the phosphorylation status of NPH3. NPH3 is dephosphorylated in a phot1-dependent manner following light treatment; it was found that in the presence of wild-type phot1, the phosphorylated form of NPH3 is recovered around one hour following a return to darkness after phot1 stimulation by blue light. By contrast, the dephosphorylated state of NPH3 was sustained in phot1-V478I and -L558I for a substantially longer period of time, consistent with a slow phot1 photocycle and prolonged phot1 activation in these mutants. Surprisingly, it was found that these mutants were less sensitive than wild-type phot1 for phototropism in response to low intensity light treatments. Furthermore, biomass accumulation was not increased in the phot1-L558I mutant under growth conditions consisting of very low light. While the photocycle mutants did not exhibit increased sensitivity or growth in response to continuous light treatments, evidence from collaborators indicated that phot1-L558I is more efficient than wild-type phot1 for the chloroplast accumulation response following brief pulses of blue light. While the role of the phot1 photocycle under continuous irradiation remained unclear, this enhanced chloroplast accumulation response implies that the phot1 photocycle is important for its sensitivity to brief irradiations. Unlike phot1, further work with phot2 later indicated that introducing a slow photocycle mutation to phot2 LOV2 can significantly increase growth in a phot1phot2 mutant background under continuous low light. To investigate other factors that may affect phot1 sensitivity, a genetic screen was undertaken in an attempt to identify suppressors of phot1 activity. The LOV2Kinase (L2K) transgenic line, which expresses a truncated version of phot1 in a phot1phot2 double mutant background, was previously found to be unable to respond to low-intensity blue light, though it can mediate phot1 responses when the light intensity is increased. Because L2K possesses this conditional phenotype, random mutations were introduced into the genome of L2K-expressing plants and a screen was established to identify mutants that were able to respond to low-intensity light with the hypothesis that those mutations could lie within suppressors of phot1 activity, allowing L2K to signal under circumstances where it ordinarily could not. Using this approach, three independent candidate suppressor mutants were identified that had increased sensitivity for the petiole positioning response under low light. One suppressor mutant was identified as a novel allele of the phytochrome B red light receptor, the second is likely to be a mutant of a transcription factor, and the identity of the third candidate suppressor is still not known, though it overexpressed the L2K protein. These candidate suppressors may represent novel modulators of phot1 activity and possible mechanisms for how these candidate suppressors may act on phot1 activity are discussed. In summary, both the biochemical and genetic approaches yielded mutants with increased sensitivity for phot1-mediated responses, enabling a more detailed understanding of how phot1 sensitivity influences its activity and plant growth.
This lays the groundwork for extending the increased sensitivity observed in response to pulses in the photocycle mutants to responses other phot1-mediated responses, and for integrating new models of suppression of phot1 activity into our framework for phot1 activation and signaling.

Thesis (MSc (Botany and Zoology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.
The family Oxalidaceae has a worldwide distribution, but is most common in tropical and subtropical regions. Oxalis L. is the largest genus of the family comprising ca. 800 of the 900 species. Oxalis species are annual or perennial herbs or rarely subshrubs or trees. The current study assesses on the taxonomic placement of O. furcillata Salter. Currently this species, comprising two varieties, O. furcillata var. furcillata and O. furcillata var. caulescens Salter, is placed in section Foveolatae. Members of this section have endospermous seeds and fleshy leaflets. However, both in terms of leaf morphological and seed characters the two varieties of this species appear to be misplaced within this section. In addition O. furcillata var. caulescens has a unique pollen type, different from both the typical variety and the rest of the section. Both lines of evidence thus suggest that O. furcillata var. caulescens may be misplaced within this section. The present study thus sets out to assess the placement of O. furcillata in general, and the placement of O. furcillata var. caulescens in particular. A multi-disciplinary approach was followed, which included analyses of macro-morphological (including LM and SEM analyses), biogeographical and palynological characters. The variability of quantitative characters was assessed using the STATISTICA 6.0 software package. Leaf dimensions, plant height, bulb length, petiole length and palynology showed sufficient differences between the two taxa to confirm the separate identity of these two varieties as separate species. O. furcillata var. caulescens was thus raised to specific status as O. caulescens (Salter) Bissiengou. The results suggest two different options in terms of the taxonomic placement of the species O. furcillata and O. caulescens. They can either remain in section Foveolatae, best placed near O. senecta and O. densa or may moved to the highly variable section Latifoliolatae. But retaining them within the section Foveolatae appeared to be the better alternative. The correct position will be established both through further morphological analyses and correlation to the trnL-F and ITS sequence-based phylogeny of the southern African members of Oxalis.

Alléer är ett landskapselement som består av både natur och kultur och som planterats av människan av olika skäl. Sveriges alléer minskar och därför önskar Trafikverket och Riksantikvarieämbetet ta fram ett nationellt underlag för alléer. I Östergötland saknas en sammanställning av alléer under historisk tid därför är studiens syfte att undersöka alléers utbredning och kontinuitet i Östergötland från 1868 fram till idag. Resultatet visade att alléer i länet ökat idag jämfört med perioden 1868–1877. Alléer har störst förekomst i slättbygden. Alléer vid gods- samt bruk hade förändrats minst från perioden 1868–1877 till idag vilket troligen beror på att alléer vid gods och bruk redan var vanliga under perioden 1868–1877. Infartsalléer till gårdar har ökat i bygderna sedan perioden 1868–1877 vilket kan kopplas till skiftesreformerna som förändrade landskapet under slutet av 1800-talet och gav upphov till alléplanteringar i länet. Hos dagens alléer är alléer med blandade trädslag främst förekommande.
Avenues are a landscape element that consist of both nature and culture and that’s been planted by man for various reason. The Swedish avenues reduces because of that the Trafikverket and the Riksantikvarieämbetet wishes to develop a national basis for avenues. In Östergötland there is no compilation of avenues in historical time because of that the purpose of the study is to examine avenues spread and continuity in Östergötland from 1868 until today. Avenues has the greatest occurence in the flat country. Avenues belonging to manor or factory had changed least from the period 1868-1877 until today which is probably due to avenues belonging to manor or factory already was common under the period 1868-1877. Approach avenues leading to farms has increased in the districts since 1868-1877 which can be linked to the agriculture shiftreform that changed the landscape in the late 19th century and gave rise to avenue plantings in the county. Today’sk avenues are avenues witch mixed tree species uppermost occurring.

Grau, Andres Roger. "Drought and fuel structure controls on fire severity : effects on post-fire vegetation and soil carbon dynamics." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2017. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/7929/.

Full text
Abstract:
Calluna-dominated habitats, including dry heaths and peat bogs, provide important ecosystem services such as biodiversity, soil carbon stores and water supply. Climate change projections estimate drier conditions throughout their range, which could lead to increased wildfire activity. Such altered fire regime could induce a fundamental change to the ecology of Calluna moorlands and increase carbon emissions from their carbon-rich soils. The aim of this research was to understand how ecosystem response varies in relation to increased fire severity in Calluna heathlands and peat bogs. I completed experimental fires at two sites in Scotland, a dry heath and a raised bog, where I manipulated pre-fire fuel structure and fuel moisture content to achieve a gradient of fire severity and investigated the subsequent effect on post-fire vegetation regeneration and soil carbon dynamics. I found that drought increased fire severity in terms of ground fuel consumption and soil heating through increased flammability of the moss and litter layer. Substantially higher fire-induced ground heating was recorded when this layer ignited. When consumption of the moss and litter layer was extensive, post-fire soil thermal dynamics were altered and diurnal and seasonal thermal variation was higher, resulting in warmer soils that may lead to higher soil carbon emissions. Fire effects (ground fuel consumption, ground heating, changes in post-fire soil thermal dynamics) were much stronger at the dry heath than at the raised bog, likely due to ecohydrological differences between sites, i.e. thicker moss layer and deeper, wetter soil at the raised bog. For example, average fire-induced maximum temperatures at the soil surface at the dry heath increased from 31 degree C to 189 C due to drought, but at the raised bog they increased from 10 C to 15 C. Post-fire vegetation community composition varied in relation to the gradient of fire severity at the dry heath. Higher fire severity increased abundance of dominant ericoid species (Calluna vulgaris, Erica cinerea and Erica tetralix ) through improved substrate conditions (consumption of the moss and litter layer leading to bare soil), despite the fact that higher fire-induced soil heating hindered their regeneration. Short-term soil carbon emissions increased after burning due to a greater reduction in photosynthesis than in ecosystem respiration. Methane fluxes were negligible at the dry heath, but increased after burning at the raised bog, especially in warmer conditions. Generally, higher fire severity had little effect on soil carbon dynamics (ecosystem respiration, net ecosystem exhange, methane flux and dissolved organic carbon concentration), but higher autumn emission after higher fire severity at the dry heath and the important control of plant functional type cover suggest differences may become apparent in the longer term. This research advances our understanding of how an altered fire regime with higher fire severity could alter ecosystem functioning in Calluna moorlands and impact on its conservation value and belowground carbon stores. The work presented here can be useful to managers using burning as a land management tool, or who need to plan for wildfire occurrence in these fire-prone habitats, to inform strategies to accomplish a range of objectives, including conservation, protection of carbon stores and recreation, and to researchers interested in environmental change in Calluna moorlands. This research was funded by the University of Glasgow with support from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, the Ohio State University and Glen Tanar Estate.

Abstract:
The article examines the history of the formation of Czech terminology of natural sciences - botany, zoology, chemistry, mineralogy, geology, technology in the works of Professor J. S. Presl (1791-1849), a representative of the second generation of the Czech national revival. Special attention is drawn to the contribution of other Slavic languages to the development of Czech natural science terminology, especially to the various types of reception of Russian scientific terminology by J.S. Presl.

Abstract:
The results of a survey on the use of statistics in research in five subject areas representative of the biological and health sciences are reported. The main component of the survey is a review of statistical methods in 2927 research papers published during 1999 in 16 high impact journals from botany, ecology, food science, marine science and nutrition. A factor analysis establishes that research papers in the different subject areas use different methods. The opinions of research staff and postgraduate students working in these areas are also reported. To support these opinions we provide details of five postgraduate studies involving advanced statistical analyses, which have either resulted in publication or should result in publication in the near future. Discussion develops recommendations about topics important in a statistics curriculum for research students, where statistics courses should be taught, what is needed in terms of level of theory, the use of short courses and workshops, and the value of project work.
