Crop Germplasm

In 1991, the USDA–ARS North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station made available for distribution 129 accessions of germplasm representing 31 genera of herbaceous ornamentals. This number increased to 329 accessions of 42 genera by 1995. During 1991–95, more than 500 seed packets were distributed to fulfill requests for these plants received from a diverse array of public and private researchers. An analysis of this demand together with expert advice from Crop Germplasm Committees and technical considerations, such as ease of culture and seed production, can help set priorities to plan germplasm regeneration to meet future demand. A recent analysis of demand at U.S. National Plant Germplasm System active sites indicated that demand ranging between 0.23 and 0.97 distributions per available accession per year was typical. Of the 42 ornamental genera analyzed in this study, 9 were demanded more frequently than was typical, 10 were demanded less frequently, with the remainder in the typical range. In order of increasing frequency, the nine genera with the highest distribution rates were Verbena, Gypsophila, Echinacea, Lapeirousia, Delphinium, Cerastium, Baptisia, Lilium, and Tanacetum. Six of these genera are represented only by a single available accession. Notably, Echinacea and Tanacetum are of research interest both as ornamentals and as medicinal/industrial crops. This poster gives a brief overview of the economic value of these genera, display the results of the demand analysis, discuss the results relative to recommendations from Crop Germplasm Committees and requestors, and consider how demand can shape management plans for the acquisition and regeneration of ornamental germplasm.

Cooperative Project

In 1984 trees of `Starkspur Supreme Delicious' apple on 15 rootstocks were planted at 28 locations in North America according to guidelines established by The North Central Regional Cooperative Project (NC-140). The largest trees were on P.18, ANT.313, B.490 and seedling. Producing trees approximately 70% the size of seedling were rootstocks P.1 and M.7 EMLA while M.26 EMLA and C.6 were 50% the size of seedling. A group of rootstocks 30% the size of seedling or smaller were B.9, MAC.39, P.22, P.2, P.16. Rootstocks with high production efficiency were P.16, 8.9, P.22, P.2 and C.6. Rootstocks with low production efficiency similar to apple seedling were MAC.1, M.4., B.490, P.18 and ANT.313.

Face à la transformation des modes de communication et d’apprentissage dans lesquels l’image occupe une place de plus en plus importante (Bleed, 2005 ; North Central Regional Educational Laboratory et Metiri Group, 2003), le développement de compétences spécifiques à la littératie visuelle (visual literacy) est primordial pour faire face aux défis du monde contemporain. Pourtant, ces compétences et leur développement, à l’école et hors école, demeurent très peu étudiés, d’où la réalisation d’une étude visant à identifier et à décrire les pratiques d’apprentissages formels et informels d’étudiants au baccalauréat en matière de littératie visuelle. Les résultats de cette étude permettent de mettre en lumière l’usage, en contextes formel et informel, des outils de communication dans lesquels l’image occupe une place importante chez les étudiants sondés, l’usage et les enjeux de l’aspect visuel dans les sources d’information et de divertissement, l’importance accordée aux compétences liées à la littératie visuelle et le sentiment de compétence des participants de l’étude à l’égard de ces dernières. Deux constats importants ressortent de cette étude : les pratiques d’apprentissage présentent des ressemblances, mais aussi des différences selon le contexte dans lequel elles sont mises en oeuvre (vie personnelle vs vie académique) et ces pratiques, en matière spécifiquement de littératie visuelle, illustrent la prise en compte de plus en plus importante (mais encore trop partielle) de l’image comme mode de communication et d’apprentissage.
