tolerance once established, adaptability to many soil types, deer resistance, fire resistance, and tolerance of coastal conditions, heat, and wind. A member of the large Asteraceae (Compositae) family, commonly known as the aster, daisy, or sunflower family, Gazania is one of some 2,000 genera worldwide that comprise the Asteraceae. A term used as both a botanical and a common name, the gazania was named in honor of the Greek humanist scholar Theodorus Gaza (c. 1398 – c. 1475), one of the leaders in

often used in the culinary arts and also holds traditional value in its native land. When discussing its classification, it is as follows; the kingdom is Plantae, the phylum is Tracheophyta, class is Magnoliopsida, order is Asterales, family is Asteraceae, the genus is Tagetes, and finally, the species is Tagetes erecta L (Plants Profile). When thinking about the bigger picture, the Targetes erecta is a plant that is edible and is often consumed by herbivores in the wild.

Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni) a perennial herb, belongs to Asteraceae family which including 230 species. Among these 230 species only two species produce sweet steviol glycosides(Soejarto et al. 1982; Kinghorn et al. 1984). Stevia is native to the Paraguay and distributed from south west united states southward through Mexico and central America.It also occurs in the neighbouring parts of Brazil, Korea, Tanzania , indonesia, Canada and India (Lee et al. 1979; Donalisio et al. 1982; Shock 1982; Goenadi

Thurber uses limited third-person omniscient point of view. Through this perspective we are able to focus strictly on Mitty’s perception of his surroundings. We experience the end of Mitty’s first daydream through this perspective: “... the roaring of the SN202 through the worst storm in twenty years of Navy flying fading in the remote, intimate airways of his mind” (327). The use of third-person point of view helps us understand the extent to which Mitty’s fantasies were affecting his interaction

INTRODUCTION Acroptilon repens (Russian Knapweed) is a noxious weed in quite a few states, including Utah and Idaho. This weed causes many different problems for farmers and ranchers because it is a pasture/range weed. There have been studies done to find the best sources of control. Many of these studies have spanned for a long time. Management practices vary by region and there is a lot of discussion about which management practice is the best for this fast spreading weed. Because there have been

in 300 genera (Ben-Dov, 1994). They are found throughout the world except in Polar Regions (Cannon 2006), but are most abundant in the tropics and subtropics (Ben-Dov, 1994). Their host preference ranges from grasses (Poaceae) to woody plants (Asteraceae) (Ben-Dov 1994; Ben-Dov and German, 2003), and more than 20% of pest species might be polyphagous (Miller et al. 2002 ; Downie and Gullan

LETTUCE I decided to grow two different types of lettuce in the polytunnel. Lettuce is part of the ASTERACEAE family. The P.H. in the soil has a reading of 7. This means it is alkaline and is good ground for growing crops. It is recommended that a South-facing site be used and that the site has good drainage. There are four different varieties of Lettuce. They are: • Butterheads. • Cos and Semi-Cos. • Crispheads. Loose-Leaf. BUTTERHEADS: Butterheads are soft and round with either flat or frilly

Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) is one of the nine species in the Asteraceae/Compositae family, related to the daisy. The North American origin gives insight to its first use in Native American herbal medicine. The plant is commonly used in minor respiratory infection remedies and labeled as a functional food for its properties in increasing antibodies when served in as an herbal drink or pill. Further analysis of this functional food will give light to the common sources, clinical description and

of a resource despite having numerous health benefits. A valid collection of genome wide screening markers can add to the genomic resource for such plants. One such crop is Stevia rebaudiana, belonging to the genus Stevia of the sunflower family (Asteraceae), commonly known as Stevia, Sweet Leaf, Sweet herb of Paraguay, Honey Leaf and Candy Leaf (Madan et al., 2010). Although it is native to Paraguay, it is now successfully being cultivated throughout the world as an important exotic crop. It is widely
