     Extractions: Hardwood is wood (the xylem of the tree) that contains both tracheids and vessels Softwoods contain only tracheids. DIAGRAMS: Head Inflorescence PHOTOS: Heartwood is the xylem in the center of the tree that has stopped conducting water and minerals and is storing waste products from the plant. These waste products are of various types. In redwood trees these materials causes the heartwood to turn red. These products help to preserve the wood, particularly in redwoods. Heartwood can be contrasted with Sapwood , particularly in redwoods, because the heartwood is red and the sapwood is white. The sapwood is the portion of the xylem that is conducting water and minerals and hasn't started storing waste products. DIAGRAMS: Heartwood Heartwood PHOTOS: An herb is a plant that has a soft stem and is not woody. Plants that are herbs do not undergo secondary growth Herbaceous plants are plants that are herbs with soft, non-woody stems and no secondary growth Herbivores (as in herbs for seasoning) DIAGRAMS: PHOTOS: Nostoc Nostoc DIAGRAMS: Cotyledons PHOTOS: Horsetails are a group of tracheophytes that are characterized by stems and rhizomes that have ridges and furrows. In the stem are contained carinal and vallecular canals. The carinal canal is smaller of the two and is associated with the vascular bundle and is opposite the ridges of the stem and rhizome. The vallecular canal is opposite the furrows. Horsetails are in the division Sphenophyta and have only one genus, Equisetum. These plants are typically found in damp to wet habitats.

     Extractions: Robert Thomas: Research Interests My interests in research center on aspects of plant growth and development. Current efforts center the elucidation of mechanisms underlying tropisms, i.e., directed responses to external stimuli like light and gravity. Pellia setae have been used as a model system for these studies. Other major projects I have been involved with include the analysis of mechanisms underlying long distance transport of nutrients in plants. Polytrichum has been used as a model system for these studies. Various common forest herbs have also been used. Students have been involved in all of these projects, often as co-authors of published scientific papers. Many other projects have been independently initiated by students wishing to work in my lab. A recent honors thesis student initiated a projects involving the investigation of the potential of plants as cleansing agents of soils contaminated with heavy metals. Tomato seedlings were used in this study. Other projects undertaken by students under my direction include hybridization in day lilies, the effects of ultraviolet light on heat shock proteins in a marine alga (using radioactive tracer methods), and interactions between alpine lichens and their rock substrates (using scanning electron microscope and electron probe techniques). I am open to working with students on a wide variety of plant related topics.

     Extractions: An international gathering of economic botanists converged on Washington University and area cultural icons such as Cahokia Mounds Historic Site and the Missouri Botanical Garden when the Society for Economic Botany met Wednesday, June 4, through Sunday, June 8. The botanists focused on the conference theme, "The Ethnobotanical Richness of the Mississippi River Basin, Past, Present and Future." They were enlightened about the cultural history of our region, which is "a hidden treasure," according to conference chair Memory Elvin-Lewis, Ph.D., professor of microbiology and ethnobotany in biomedicine and a highly regarded ethnobotanist (a botanist who studies the use of plants in different cultures). "The dynamics of the Missouri region by-and-large are under appreciated," said Elvin-Lewis. "Here is a state that is half glaciated, half unglaciated, with two major rivers intersecting, which alone provides many ecological possibilities that don't exist elsewhere in North America. And we have a mysterious cultural heritage in Cahokia Mounds remnants of not merely one of the largest Native American civilizations but one of the largest worldwide of its time. In the eleventh century, it rivaled London and Paris in size and sophistication, yet how that civilization declined no one knows to this day." A session was devoted to the ancient cultures that lived in the Mississippi Valley Basin, with a focus on the plants they used for food and medicine.

The name jin bu huan Jin bu huan is cultivated in China and Japan and is the main ingredient in Yunnan Bai Yao powder used to staunch heavy bleeding and promote rapid healing. The grayish yellow roots of jin bu huan contain bioactive glucosides. The therapeutic effects include reduction of inflammation (antiphlogistic), and contraction of tissues and blood vessels to arrest bleeding (astringent, styptic and hemostatic). The physician, often a Buddhist monk in the Sengoku-jidai , would cleanse the wound and sprinkle a liberal amount of powered root on the bleeding area, then cover it with a bandage. In modern times, Yunnan Bai Yao was standard issue to North Vietnamese troops during their war against South Vietnam and the United States.

     Extractions: The Fresh Herbs of Summer F resh herbs are a key to a good recipe. They can add aroma to food, and this contributes more to a food's appeal than taste, since taste is limited to sweet, sour, salty and bitter. Herbs contain volatile oils which can be used to replace salt as flavor enhancers. But in order for us to smell the aroma, the aromatic molecules need to be in a vapor phase. These oils evaporate readily at normal temperatures and pressures, which is why herbs smell so good when hung in our kitchens or placed in salads. When herbs are warmed, as in sauces or even in our mouths, more molecules are released as vapors, making the sensation stronger and the food more appetizing. For herb lovers, the mint family, or Lamiaceae (or Labiatae), is the most eminent plant family of those with the strongly scented oils. Included among the 5,600 species of Lamiaceae are basil, mint, marjoram, oregano, rosemary, sage and thymeall part of our everyday selection of herbs. The active oil in mint is a remarkable substance called menthol. In On Food and Cooking Harold McGee says menthol raises the threshold temperature at which cold receptors in our skin begin to discharge. So our mouths feel cool, and a cool drink feels cold. This may account for mint's popular use as a complement to iced teas and other fun drinks. In dry herbs, the cell structure is broken down, making it easier to extract more oils, and making them more potent. When cooking with dry herbs, recipes usually call for less. Still, most fresh basil enthusiasts will argue that the aroma of dried basil can never compare to the sweet complexity of fresh leaves which adds subtle hints of anise and mint. Because oils evaporate, over a period of time dry herbs will lose their flavor. Storing them whole rather than ground, and in air-tight containers, will extend their shelf life.

     Extractions: The Island is a sensory delight, the moment that you step off the boat you see the rugged mountainous scenery, clear blue sea and white sandy beaches. You can hear the water lapping on the quay side, the goat bells in the olive groves and the donkeys braying to each other across the valleys. Most of all however, you can smell the herbs, usually this is your first impression of Amorgos as the scent is carried in the air across the sea to the ship as you approach the island. There are a great variety of herbs but the predominant ones are: Amorgos Mint Basil Chamomile Fennel Marjoram Oregano Rosemary Sage Thyme The islanders still use these herbs both fresh and dried for both culinary and medicinal use in addition to making scented combinations to hang in rooms or cupboards. You can pick the herbs yourself and take them home with you or buy products all over the world which are made from them. These herbs are the ultimate in organic and natural produce.

     http://www.siu.edu/~ebl/leaflets/ephed2.htm
     
     Extractions: A member of the phylum Gnetophyta, the Ephedra genus is a perennial, dioecious shrub that reaches 1 1/2 to 4 feet tall (7). There are multiple species of this genus that inhabit the desert regions in certain parts of the world. The three species E. sinica E. intermedia , and E. equisetina are found in Asia, particularly China and Mongolia. E phedra distacha is from Europe. India and Pakistan are home to E. gerardiana . North American species consist of E. nevadensis (Mormon tea), E. viridis (desert tea), E. americana , and E. trifurca (7). It takes an average of four years for the shrub to achieve maturation (10) and is harvested in the fall (11). Ephedra has been used medicinally for hundreds, even thousands of years in the regions where it grows. For more than 5000 years, Ephedra's stems have been dried to cure multiple ailments in China. The first records of its use can be found in a Chinese compilation of herbs called Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing (11), which dates back to the first century A.D. (5) E. sinica

Humanity's earliest concern with plants was with their practical uses, i.e., for fuel, clothing, shelter, and, particularly, food and drugs. The establishment of botany as an intellectual science came in classical times. In the 4th cent. B.C. , Aristotle and his pupil Theophrastus worked out descriptions and principles of plant types and functions that remained the prototype for botanical observation for 1,000 years. During the stagnant period of the Middle Ages the knowledge of the classical scholars was preserved in the European monasteries and by the Arabs in the Middle East. In the 16th and 17th cent. an interest in botany revived in Europe and spread to America by way of European conquest and colonization. At that time both botany and the art of gardening (see

     Extractions: -Habitat- Indigenous to Northern India. Widely cultivated in Mediterranean countries. -Description- The name Limonum is derived from the Arabic Limun or Limu , which in its turn probably comes from the Sanscrit Nimbuka . There are several varieties of Citrus medica , only differing in the character of their fruits. The principal ones are the lemon, citron or cedrat, and lime. The Bergamot is also closely related. The trees reached Europe by way of Persia or Media and were grown first in Greece and then in Italy in the second century. The Lemon is a small, straggling tree about 11 feet high, irregularly branched, the bark varying in colour from clear grey on the trunk, green on the younger branches to a purplish colour on the twigs. The evergreen leaves are ovate-oval, about two inches long, the margin serrate with sharp spines in the axils of the stalks. The solitary, fivepetalled flowers, white inside and tinged with deep pink outside, grow on stems in the axils. The well-known fruit is an ovoid berry, about three inches long, nipple-shaped at the end, smooth, bright yellow, indented over the oil-glands, having an acid, paleyellow pulp. About forty-seven varieties are said to have been developed during the centuries of cultivation.

     Extractions: The Earth is host to more than 400,000 documented species of plant life. In turn, our planet depends upon these plants to nurture and sustain all living things. Plants play a critical role in the complex food web. Powered by light from the sun, carbon dioxide from the air, and nutrients from the soil, plants pass on this energy to the life forms that consume them. And for the human species, plants bring aesthetic pleasure, delighting the senses with their beauty and variety. Botany is one of the oldest branches of biology. It is concerned with the scientific study of plants and other similar organisms. Within the discipline there are many areas of study including Paleobotany (the study of plant history through fossils), Physiology (the study of plant cells and tissues), Pteridology (the study of ferns), and Plant Pathology (the study of diseases in plants). This area of the NBII brings together a wide range of botanical resources available on the Web.
