Purpose: Tree shaping catalog development of practical use: garden chair category; study of the ergonomic aspects of their design, calculation of the time for the formation of tree shaping objects with regard to the plant types. A deeper study of the formation of natural and artistic objects of architectural space, i.e., tree shaping.Design/methodology/approach: Ergonomic analysis, analysis of woody plants compositions in tree shaping, visual-anthropometric analysis, modeling, comparative analysis.Originality/value: 1. Proposed tree shaping catalogs in the category of garden chairs. These catalogs have no analogues in are Russia. 2. The selected woody plants of the West Siberian region, most adapted to humane correction of growth, with the ecological specification in accordance with the following parameters: gas resistance, growth rate, life cycle of a woody plant. 3. Diagrams are suggested for the garden chair dimensions (chair back height, seat width, chair leg height) depending on the woody plant (willow, Tatar maple, bird cherry).Findings: Many identified aspects are can be used in tree shaping: compositional complexity of tree shaping, woody plant type, growth characteristics, and the growing conditions.Practical implications: The obtained results can be used as in a deeper study of new approaches to the formation of open architectural spaces with plant materials.

The SFA Arboretum is evidence that small horticulture programs can capitalize on what's right outside the back door of the building. Initiated in 1985 as a lab project in a landscape plant materials course on the south side of the Agriculture building, the collection has grown to over 3000 taxa displayed in a ten-acre public garden setting. The Arboretum's mission is to 1) promote the conservation and use of native plants, 2) evaluate “new” landscape plant materials, and 3) serve as a living laboratory for students in Horticulture, Agriculture, Biology and Forestry. Funding improvements in the last two years and the creation of a Board of Advisors and a Volunteer Corps organization has addressed problems in routine landscape maintenance and getting “new” garden developments off the ground. A “Plants with Promise” program acquires, tests, propagates, distributes and promotes superior “new” woody plants. Outstanding performers include Bignonia capreolata 'atrosangainea', Campsis grandiflora, Cinnamomum chekingensis, Euschapis japonica, Scuttelaria suffretescens 'pink', Sinojackia rehderiana, Taxodium mucronatum, Viburnum propinquum, various Styrax species and varieties, several Michelia species, Illicium henryi, three Mexico oaks, and many others. AutoCAD maps and a plant inventory database tracks plant location and acquisition data. A just-completed GIS-based analysis of the university forest paves the way for a campus-as-arboretum effort. The premise of this paper is that high-visibility, easy-access display/evaluation gardens offer Horticulture Departments the opportunity for enhanced student recruitment, community involvement, external funding, environmental education, and the potential for significant contributions to the nursery industry.

Ammonia Formation

AbstractFeeding phenol-containing plants to ruminants has the potential to mitigate both methane and ammonia formation. In the present study, mostly woody plants, such as the leaves of trees and shrubs, were tested for their influence onin vitrofermentation. The plants selected grow naturally under temperate climatic conditions, are usually available in bulk and do not directly compete with human food production. The detailed screening included whole plants or parts of different plant species reporting their effects on methane and/or ammonia formation. The plant materials were added at 167 mg/g of total dry matter (DM) to a common total mixed ration and incubated for 24 h with the Hohenheim gas test method. The results fromin vitrofermentation were also used to determine the net energy of lactation and utilizable crude protein in the complete diets. Thirteen out of 18 test materials did not impair the organic matter (OM) digestibility of the diet. Ammonia concentrations decreased up to 35% when adding any of the test materials. Methane formation per unit of feed DM and per unit of digestible OM was lowered by 13 of the 18 test materials from 12 to 28% and 5 to 20%, respectively. In conclusion, a number of plant materials tested have the potential to mitigate ruminal ammonia and methane formation without adversely affecting digestibility. The leaves ofBetula pendula,Corylus avellana,Ribes nigrum,Vitis viniferaand the aerial part ofGeum urbanumwere particularly promising in this respect.

Abstract Reliable micropropagation protocols were developed for Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica Thunb.) and Amur honeysuckle [L. maackii (Rupr.) Maxim], two horticulturally important invasive woody plants. Shoot tips were collected from mature plants and established in vitro on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium and cultured in various media. Plant growth regulators and basal media had significant effects on proliferation rates. Proliferation of Japanese honeysuckle was highest on Driver and Kuniyuki walnut (DKW) medium with 5 μM (1.1 ppm) 6-benzyladenine (BA), yielding an average of 14 axillary microshoots in 12 weeks, whereas Amur honeysuckle produced 38 axillary microshoots in 12 weeks on MS medium containing 2.5 μM (0.6 ppm) BA with or without 1.25 μM (0.3 ppm) indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Microcuttings of Japanese honeysuckle were rooted ex vitro with or without treatment with 980 μM (200 ppm) IBA, whereas microcuttings of Amur honeysuckle required treatment with 980 μM (200 ppm) IBA to root. These protocols can be used to continuously produce plant materials for various biotechnological modifications, such as in vitro mutations and genetic engineering for noninvasiveness.

Herbaceous And Woody Plants

A Mosaic tour of the Univ. of Delaware Botanic Gardens is available on Internet using the Mosaic server and provides fact sheets about herbaceous and woody plants. Each sheet is a mosaic page with in-lined images that include hyper-links to a sound file of the pronunciation of the Latin plant name and images of the plant, including buds, flowers, fruits, leaves, and other characteristics. A map of the garden identifying the plant's location is provided on each page to orient visitors and students. There are currently over 1500 images in development. The tour uses map images and key words to help students identify and select plants. Composite views illustrating the same characteristic from several plants provide a visual method to aid students in identification of unknown specimens. Database searches provide a method to search for plant information in the tour, and in the future will provide lists of plants with specific characteristics. The Mosaic Tour of the Univ. of Delaware Botanic Gardens can be accessed via URLS:http://bluehen.ags.udel.edu/ugarden.html.
