We have been developing many publications which have been scattered across this web site. This page collects them in one place. We have included: 1. Books 2. Papers 3. Presentations 4. Lectures 5. Lecture Papers 6. Reports Books We have just posted (January 2009) the book on Hemerocallis in Draft form. It will be subject to editing this spring. Comments are welcome. The book is meant for a more technical audience. It presents the challenges of the genetic revolution within the context of the genus Hemerocallis. Hemerocallis: Genus, Species and Genetics Papers Backcrossing: A Mathematical Approach, August 2008, a pre-publication paper presenting a detailed mathematical model for backcrossing detailing how it may be analyzed for any number of genes. In addition we present and detail a method for determining the number of active genes in a plant using backcrossing. This is also accompanied by a slide presentation. Color Patterning in Hemerocallis, July 2008, This paper presents the details of our work in pattern explanation if substantial detail. This paper is a pre-publication, actually still pre-submission, version of results demonstrating how color and more importantly patterning is effected in the daylily. It takes the insights of Petit and the genius of Turing and simply combines them with real flowers and explains how patterns occur as well as explaining how they can be made. Classic Genetics, Hybridizing of Hemerocallis and Current Techniques, June 2008, is a paper which address two major issues; classic Mendellian genetics and current hybridizing techniques. In the classic technique area we first discuss breeding methods as are well known to those in the crop area, using the Mendellian models, and then we review many of the past and current hybridizers and look carefully at their techniques. Phylogentics, DNA, Classification and the Genus Hemerocallis, June 2008, has been added to the list of papers. I am also finishing the handouts on a lecture series on the Genus in broad scope. I have been working on these issue for over the past two years. The most recent paper referenced above deals with the genetic tools which allow one to look at the DNA directly and indirectly of Hemerocallis and to achieve two things. First is the issue of how doe we separate the species and how are they related phylogentically to one another. The second issue is to attempt to set forth the tools which allow us to look at the hybrids and understand the color and other issues which we seek to modify and improve. Flower Tessellation Patterning and a Genetic Pathway Explanation, June 2008. This paper expands the work of the previous two papers and details an analysis of plant patterns using the Turing method. The paper reviews the issues of genetic pathways and secondary paths with colorants and then introduces the Petit Patterns as a means to incorporate the Turing model for color patterning. Flower Color and Means to Determine Causal Anthocyanins And Their Concentrations, June 2008. This paper details the mechanisms that generate plant color and details methods we use to determine specific anthocyanin concentrations. Presentations Flower Color and Its Implications (May 31, 2008) The above was a presentation which provides a basis for the presentation on the Pattern Presentation. The questions asked in the Pattern discussion related to the standards used in colorimetry and how they could be applied to plant analysis. This presentation shows the means to determine a cell Reflectance profile using Fourier Transform Spectrometry and then to used that to measure concentrations of separate anthocyanins. This then provides the basis for the analysis in the Pattern paper. Patterns in Daylilies: An Analysis and A Means to Prognosticate (May 2, 2008) We have performed a detailed analysis of the patterning of the daylily. This is an analysis that uses the analysis of Turing in 1952 and then the pattern analysis by Petit in 2007. In this 55 year period we have come to understand the genetics of the daylily. This analysis then takes that fundamental understanding and analyzes the patterns classified by Petit using the Turin approach and then project new and advance patterning. This is called Tessellated Patterns in Hemerocallis Lectures We have been giving Lectures based upon the papers discussed above. These Lectures are contained here. Lecture 1: Hemerocallis Evolution and Hybridization Lecture 2: Hemerocallis Species Lecture 3: DNA and Genes Lecture 4: Flower Color and Its Implications Lecture 5:Hybridizing and Hybridizers Lecture 6: Backcrossing and Gene Determination Lecture 7: Gene Expression Lecture 8: Plant Cell Matrix Lecture 9: Phylogentics and Classification Lecture 10 Phenotypic Phylogenetics and Classification (TBA) Lecture 11: Systems Techniques Applied to Genetic Phenotype Adaptation (TBA) Lecture 12: Summary (TBA) The are the basis for a one Semester Graduate course at MIT in bioinformatics. Lecture Papers The following are Lecture papers for the MIT lectures: http://mit.edu/mcgarty/www/MIT/genetic_modelling.htm Flower Color and Patterning in the Genus Hemerocallis, Lecture 7, (2008) is a pre-submission copy of a paper which details experimental work on the Hemerocallis plant and compares this to a detailed analysis using the Turing tessellation techniques. Multiple hybrids are analyzed and the Turing model is validated at the cellular level. The paper also discusses the inverse problem, namely of selecting a pattern and determining how it mat be created. Basic Genetic Principles , Lecture 3, (2008) This is a summary of the basic genetic principles presented in a systems manner and it includes details on secondary pathways and color control. >Evolution and Color in the Genus Hemerocallis , Lecture 1, (2006) This is the first paper which describes the species in the genus and the hybrids that have developed. It also is the first set of modeling for the estimation of the genetic links and in turn for the design of the plant. Gene Expression and Control in Hemerocallis Lecture 7, (2007) This paper was intended for publication but is being held in abeyance. It details the genetic models and explains how the models developed may be employed elsewhere. Flower Color, Measurement and Gene Expression , Lecture 4, (2008) This paper is a detailed analysis of the color issue in the genus. It also develops methods to measure the concentrations of separate colorants, anthocyanins, in the cells. Tessellation in Hybrids of the Genus Hemerocallis: The Turing Model , Lecture 8, (2008) This paper addresses the question of how do patterns form in the flower. We use the model developed by Alan Turing in 1952, shortly before his untimely death. Turing was at the point of making a break thru in this area. His seminal paper was written at the same time he was being put to trial by the English Courts for his personal behavior which was considered inappropriate at the time. Classic Genetics, Hybridizing of Hemerocallis and Current Techniques, Lecture 5, June 2008, is a paper which address two major issues; classic Mendellian genetics and current hybridizing techniques. In the classic technique area we first discuss breeding methods as are well known to those in the crop area, using the Mendellian models, and then we review many of the past and current hybridizers and look carefully at their techniques. Phylogentics, DNA, Classification and the Genus Hemerocallis, Lecture 9, June 2008, has been added to the list of papers. I am also finishing the handouts on a lecture series on the Genus in broad scope. I have been working on these issue for over the past two years. The most recent paper referenced above deals with the genetic tools which allow one to look at the DNA directly and indirectly of Hemerocallis and to achieve two things. First is the issue of how doe we separate the species and how are they related phylogentically to one another. The second issue is to attempt to set forth the tools which allow us to look at the hybrids and understand the color and other issues which we seek to modify and improve. Reports From time to time we will issue a report on data from the Garden which we believe may be of use to others. 1. Growing Statistics from Spring 2009 The reader may find these of some interest since it provides our local temp and rain stats as well as yields.
