Book excerpt: Excerpt from Yields of Native Prickly Pear in Southern Texas In March, 1908, the first planting of native varieties of prickly pear was made on a small scale at Brownsville. At this time two 84f00t rows 458 feet long were established on one side of a varietal collection planted the same summer. Single-joint cuttings were plowed under, as described in previous publications, at a distance of 3'feet apart in the row. This planting was given moderately good cultivation. The middles were kept clean, but often Bermuda grass and other vegetation were allowed to grow in the rows. In the latter part of October, 1909, or at the end of the second growing season, row 2 was cut arid weighed. In harvesting this row, a good stump (pl. I, figs. 1 and 2) consisting of one to four cuttings, but never over one cutting high, was left attached to the original cut ting, set 19 months before. The total material harvested in this manner weighed pounds, or 8. 53 tons. This showed a yield at the rate of 100. 721 tons to the acre for two seasons growth, or 50. 36 tons per acre per annum. The first row was not harvested at this time, but was reserved until the following February to be cut and used in establishing a 6 - acre planting. This row is believed to have yielded considerably more than row 2, harvested in the fall. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: "There is nothing in the world like this book. It should be in every library and on the bookshelves of all those interested in cacti. The book will be an important resource for plant physiology, agronomy, and horticulture classes at both the undergraduate and graduate level."—Bruce Smith, Brigham Young University "Cacti: Biology and Uses is a landmark publication of one of the world's most unique group of plants. Park Nobel, a leading authority on succulent plants, has assembled a collection of contributions that spans a wide range of issues extending from basic systematics, anatomy, physiology and ecology to considerations of conservation and human uses of this diverse group of plants. This nicely-produced and well-illustrated volume provides a resource that will be of great use to a wide range of scientists, practitioners, and enthusiasts of this plant group."—Harold Mooney, Paul S. Achilles Professor of Environmental Biology, Stanford University

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acid metabolism of certain succulent plants, now known as Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) has fascinated plant physiologists and biochemists for the last one and a half centuries. However, since the basic discoveries of De Saussure in 1804 that stem joints of Opuntia were able to remove CO from the 2 atmosphere during the night, and of Heyne in 1815 (see Wolf, 1960) that organic acids accumulate in the leaves of Bryophyllum calycinum during the night, the two main aspects of CAM, diurnal CO gas exchange and metabolism of malic acid, 2 have first been studied nearly independently. Hence, it is not surprising that most research to elucidate the mechanism of CAM has been during the last 15 years since CO exchange and malate metabolism were studied and interpreted in its 2 context. These efforts finally resulted in a clear realization that the CAM phenom enon is a variation on the mode of how plants can photosynthetically harvest CO from the atmosphere. 2 The interpretation of CAM in this sense was stimulated by the discovery of another variant of photosynthesis, the C -pathway (see Black, 1973; Hatch and 4 Slack, 1970; Hatch, 1976). Because this newly discovered photosynthetic pathway is recognized to be very closely related to the CAM pathway, the work on the latter became intensified during these last years.
