Book excerpt: Despite decades of research, poisonous plants continue to be responsible for large economic losses to livestock producers throughout the world. As the expansion into rural areas and the use of rangelands increases, an understanding of plant toxicology has become ever more important. This book represents the product of a wide-range of research aimed at solving the various issues surrounding poisonous plants. Broader themes include plant biochemistry, toxic effects in animals and humans, and rangeland management approaches to prevent poisoning amongst others. Individual chapters address plant animal relationships, various classes of secondary plant compounds, isolation, identification and effects of these toxins on biological mammalian systems and analytical methods, diagnostic tools and management strategies for plant toxicoses in animals and humans.

Book excerpt: A plant materials report on witchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is provided as Section 7.1.2 of the US Army Corps of Engineers Wildlilfe Resources Management Manual. The report was prepared as guide to assist the Corps District or project biologist with the selection, cultivation, and management of suitable plant materials for wildlife and habitat development programs. Topics covered include description, distribution, habitat requirements, wildlife value, establishment, maintenance, and cautions and limitations. Switchgrass is a native, perennial, warm-season bunchgrass and is a major component of the Midwestern tallgrass prairie. The seeds, foliage, and stiff upright stems provide food and cover for a variety of wildlife species. Distinguishing characteristics of switchgrass are describedl and the species distribution and region of maximum abundance are given. Soil, moisture, and shade requirements are specified, and common plant associates in tallgrass prairies are listed. Food and cover value for several species of wildlife is discussed. The section on establishment provides guidelines for site selection, site preparation, propagule selection, and planting methods. Recommended planting mixtures are given for several regions. Maintenance requirements and cautions and limitations are discussed.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), a summer perennial grass native to North America, is currently being explored for its potential use in the production of biofuels. With these interests, genetic manipulation of switchgrass to produce plants that are easier to digest, have an increased resistance to diseases and stresses, and maintain viability longer in the field are required. Therefore a reliable and efficient tissue culture system for the transformation of switchgrass was developed. Current switchgrass tissue culture requires months for regeneration of transformants with relatively poor transformation efficiencies and are limited to derivatives of a single variety, Alamo. A tissue culture system has been developed that utilizes a novel media, LP9, and has decreased time to the production of whole transgenic plants and with an increased efficiency. LP9 is not an Murashige and Skoog (MS)-based tissue culture system. It is comprised of both N6 macroelements and B5 microelements with the auxin, 2,4-D and does not include any cytokinin. Callus can be selected, after just 1 month on LP9 media and used for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation or particle bombardment, and plants can be regenerated within 3 weeks. This system is unique to previously explored MS-based systems in that it is conducive for the production of type II callus, which has been shown to produce higher transformation efficiencies in other monocots. This procedure has increased the transformation efficiency of switchgrass from to up to 4% reported in the literature to a best case of 34% efficiency by selecting for this type II callus for transformation.
