The Freese Organic Farm: Raising Climate-Adapted Vegetable and Grain Varieties, and Testing Innovative Greenhouse Coverings
No full textDer Biolandhof Freese testet verschiedene Anpassungsoptionen für die Landwirtschaft, insbesondere für die Bereiche des Ackerfruchtanbaus und Feingemüses. Der Anbau von Freilandkulturen wird durch den Klimawandel immer schwieriger. Um Gemüsekulturen besser vor extremen Wetterereignissen wie Hitzeperioden oder Starkregen zu schützen, testet der Biolandhof Freese (1) eine neue
Gewächshauseindeckung, die durch ihre besondere Permissivität freilandähnliche Lichtverhältnisse im geschützten Anbau ermöglichen soll. Gleichzeitig sucht der Betrieb nach resistenten, klimaangepassten Gemüsesorten, die sowohl im Freiland als auch unter dem Schutz von (der neuartigen) Folie auf ihre besonderen Eigenschaften untersucht werden sollen. Im Bereich des Getreideanbaus versucht der Biolandhof (2) eine alte Roggensorte – den Urroggen – zu kultivieren und durch die Vermarktung des Brotes (3) für das Thema Klimawandel und Anpassung zu sensibilisieren.The Freese Organic Farm is testing a number of adaptation options for agriculture, especially in the area of the cultivation of cereals and of high-quality vegetables. Open-field crop farming is becoming ever more difficult due to climate change. In order to better protect vegetable cultures from such extreme weather events as heat waves or heavy rain, the Freese Organic Farm is testing the following innovations: (1) A new greenhouse covering which, due to its particular permittivity, makes open-field-like light conditions possible in a protected structure. At the same time the farm is seeking resilient, climate adapted vegetable strains which are to be examined for their particular properties, both in open-field cultivation and under the protection of this innovative foil. (2) In the area of cereal raising, the organic farm is trying to cultivate an old strain of rye. (3) And by baking and marketing bread from this rye, the farm wants to raise consciousness about the issue of climate change and adaptation

Topological spaces with the Freese–Nation property
No full textWe give a proposal of generalization of the Freese–Nation property for topological spaces. We introduce a few properties related to Freese–Nation property: FNS, FN, FNS*, FNI. This article presents some relationship between these concepts. We show that spaces with the FNS property satisfy ccc and any product of such spaces also satisfies ccc. We show that all metrizable spaces have the FN property

No full textPhycodrys denticulatus (Tokida) J.M.Freese & C.E.Lane comb. nov. (Figs 5–7) DESCRIPTION: Thallus parasitic on Phycodrys fimbriata (Kuntze) Kylin. The parasitic thallus is yellow in color, 2 mm in diameter, with several cylindrical irregular branches, branches no longer than 3 mm, emerging from a small hemispherical cushion. The protologue description can be found in Tokida (1934). BASIONYM: Polycoryne denticulata Tokida (1934), Transactions of the Sapporo Natural History Society vol. 13, p. 199, Fig.1. HETEROTYPIC SYNONYM: Asterocolax denticulatus (Tokida) Feldmann & Feldmann TYPE LOCALITY: Robben Island, Sakhalin, Russia (coll. Tokida, 1934) SEQUENCED SPECIMEN: Collected in the Stefansson Sound Boulder Patch in July 2016 at 70˚19.25’ N, 147˚35.1’ W, Barrow, Alaska, USA, deposited NY03684214, NY03384216 (coll. A. Muth, 2016, JF02). ETYMOLOGY: The specific epithet maintains the original nomenclature assigned to the description of the parasite by Tokida (1934). REFERENCES: Tokida 1934; Feldmann & Feldmann 1951 DNA SEQUENCES: MH754750 REMARKS: Identification of the sequenced specimen as ‘ Asterocolax’ denticulatus was based on the morphological description of the parasite from Tokida (1934) and its occurrence on Phycodrys fimbriata.Published as part of Freese, Jillian M. & Lane, Christopher E., 2021, Reorganizing parasitic Delesseriaceae: taxonomic revision of Asterocolax, pp. 124-136 in Phytotaxa 525 (2) on pages 130-132, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.525.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/570183
Phycodrys phycodricola J. M. Freese & C. E. Lane, comb. nov.
No full textPhycodrys phycodricola (E.Y.Dawson) J.M.Freese & C.E.Lane comb. nov. DESCRIPTION: Thallus parasitic on Phycodrys setchellii Skottsberg. The protologue description can be found in Dawson (1945). BASIONYM: Polycoryne phycodricola E.Y.Dawson (1945) Bulletin of the Southern California Academy of Sciences vol. 43, p. 107, Fig. 4 & 5. HETEROTYPIC SYNONYM: Asterocolax gardneri (Setch.) Feldmann & G.Feldmann TYPE LOCALITY: Baja California, Mexico (coll. E. Y.Dawson, 1945) ETYMOLOGY: The specific epithet resurrects the nomenclature used in the original description by Dawson (1944). REFERENCES: Dawson 1945; Wagner 1954; Goff et al. 1997 DNA SEQUENCES: U59793.1, Goff et al. 1997, Pigeon Point, Santa Cruz County, California, USA REMARKS: This species was synonymized with Asterocolax gardneri by Wagner (1954). Wagner carried out a detailed study of the morphology of Asterocolax gardneri and found an unknown parasite on Phycodrys setchellii (San Francisco, CA). The morphological similarity between this unknown parasite, the parasite morphology from Dawson’s (1945) description of Polycoryne phycodricola, and her work on A. gardneri (infecting Neinburgia andersoniana) led Wagner to conclude that these parasites were all representatives of Asterocolax gardneri. Phylogenetic analyses show that Polycoryne phycodricola and Asterocolax gardneri (infecting Neinburgia andersoniana) are unique species and the specific epithet “ phycodricola ” has been resurrected for the revised nomenclature of Polycoryne phycodricola.Published as part of Freese, Jillian M. & Lane, Christopher E., 2021, Reorganizing parasitic Delesseriaceae: taxonomic revision of Asterocolax, pp. 124-136 in Phytotaxa 525 (2) on page 133, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.525.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/570183
