There is scant scientific evidence that compounds found in nightshade vegetables—such as tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplants—aggravate the pain and inflammation of arthritis. However, some people with arthritis feel that eating nightshades make their condition worse...and decades of research by a horticulture professor at Rutgers University may explain why. Listen in this week as Dee dives into the science behind the connection and examines whether nightshades truly contribute to inflammation and joint pain. References:Childers N.F., & Margoles M.S.

There are other colors of bell peppers, like red, yellow, and orange, but just the green are celebrated today. Although considered vegetables in the culinary world, they actually are fruit. They are part of the Grossum cultivar group of the Capsicum annuum species, which are part of the Solanaceae family, or nightshades. Native to the tropics of the Americas, they were introduced to Europe and Asia by Spanish and Portoguese explorers in the late fifteenth century. They spread from there and are now grown around the world.
À l'occasion de la journée internationale de la santé des végétaux le 12 mai, faisant suite à la journée mondiale des espèces menacées le 11 mai, BSG rediffuse les épisodes sur quelques grandes familles de plantes !Les Astéracées, autrefois appelées «Composées» comprennent près de 23.500 espèces, ce qui en fait la 2e famille du monde végétal et des plantes à fleurs, derrière les Orchidacées (25.000 espèces) mais devant les Fabacées. Chez ces plantes, les fleurs apparentes sont en réalité des «capitules» étoilés de fleurs minuscules, d'où leur nom en latin Aster, signifiant étoile. Ce sont très majoritairement des plantes herbacées, même si la famille comprend aussi des arbres, des arbustes ou des lianes. Cette grande famille de plantes a donné peu de plantes cultivées, beaucoup moins que les Poaceae (graminées comme le blé), les Fabaceae (légumineuses comme le haricot, les lentilles ou les pois) ou les Solanaceae (pomme de terre ou tomate). La base de données FAOSTAT n'en retient que six : artichaut, carthame, laitue et chicorée, pyrèthre (fleurs séchées) et graines de tournesol. La principale espèce cultivée de cette famille est la laitue (Lactuca sativa), principale plante consommée comme salade dans le monde, sous de multiples formes : pommée, batavia, frisée, romaine, iceberg … Il y a aussi les chicorées (endive ou chicon), la scarole, la frisée, ainsi que la chicorée à café. Les Asteraceae fournissent aussi des racines et tubercules comestibles : salsifis et topinambour. Elles fournissent également des graines oléagineuses (tournesol), des infusions (camomille) mais aussi des liqueurs : l'absinthe, produit de la grande absinthe et le génépi. La stévia est un célèbre édulcorant, au pouvoir sucrant 200 à 300 fois supérieur à celui du saccharose, sans apporter de calories. De nombreuses espèces sont utilisées comme plantes ornementales, bleuet, chrysanthèm, dahlia, souci, œillet d'Inde … De très nombreuses espèces d'Asteraceae sont considérées comme des mauvaises herbes des cultures : pissenlits, laiterons, cirses, ambroisies (celle là, originaire d'Amérique du Nord, est en plus envahissante et très allergène) … Les Asteraceae renferment relativement peu d'espèces toxiques, qui sont souvent à l'origine d'empoisonnements du bétail. Parmi les espèces les plus dangereuses figurent le séneçon._______Le Chemin de la Nature (CDN), fondé en 2011 par Christophe de Hody, a pour objectif de transmettre la connaissance des plantes sauvages, des champignons et de leurs usages au plus grand nombre. Il propose des ateliers et stages hebdomadaires, mais également des formations en ligne qui permettent aux amoureux de la nature d'acquérir des connaissances solides sur les plantes et les champignons sauvages et leurs usages._______
What is the secret to delicious hot sauce? Hot peppers or chilies? How many species of Capsicum are cultivated for their spicy fruits? What qualities are worth seeking when purchasing a grow light? These questions answered and so much more as the ChilliChump shares the spicy details about all things Capsicum!Opening tune: Solanaceae by Carmen Porter (https://carmenporter.com)Shaun (ChilliChump) connections:main page: https://chillichump.com/seed shop: https://chillichumpseeds.com/awesome software: https://seedsio.com/videos: https://www.youtube.com/chillichump
The temperature rises in this edition of Dig It as Peter Brown and Chris Day chat with passionate chilli grower Jason Breed. Jason, a seed specialist from Moles Seeds, gives a full rundown of the growing of these popular fiery fruits, a look at what makes chillies so hot, plus some insightful advice on getting the best from your plants and using them in the kitchen. Chilli peppers are varieties of the berry-fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum, which are members of the nightshade family Solanaceae, cultivated for their pungency. Chilli peppers are widely used in many cuisines as a spice to add ‘heat' to dishes. There are many health benefits associated with chillies too. The Scoville Scale is a measurement of pungency (spiciness or ‘heat'). Jason famously created a Chocolate Chip Chilli Cookie featuring Habanero chillies at the Garden Centre. Products mentioned: Products derived from chillies including sprays for bears, elephants (using barriers of chilli plants) and as an effective squirrel deterrent. Use Vermiculite at seed sowing time. Use a decent seed and cutting peat-free compost such as Levington's. LED plant lights to help growth. Hydroponic systems lend themselves to chilli production. Use Organic contact sprays for caterpillars, greenflies, flea beetles, sawflies and whitefly control. Fertilisers including Chilli Focus Premium Liquid Concentrated Fertiliser. Chilli varieties mentioned: ‘Apache', ‘Quick Fire' (30k on the Scoville scale), F1 hybrid, is the fastest maturing chilli available from seed with the prolific fiery red fruits produced in as little as 50 days from sowing. ‘Red Air' (Bird's eye type, Scoville Scale 70-80k), ‘Red Flame' (Cayenne type, 30-50k), ‘Rocky', a Jalapeno hybrid, 8k and ‘Santana' (hybrid Anaheim, 2.5-3.5k).Open pollinated types include Scotch Bonnet, Habanero and Tabasco, where seeds can be successfully saved from these plants. Guinness World Records declares Pepper X as world's new hottest chili pepper. A garden axe would be Jason's essential castaway item. The latest Guinness World Chilli eating record. Useful linksChillies available from the Garden Centre including Padron Chilli Pepper and De Cayenne, South Devon Chilli Farm and Chilli Ranch. Jason also mentioned a Bedfordshire commercial chilli grower. Our thanks to Chiltern Music Therapy for supplying the music. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tropane Alkaloids Atropine (dl-hyoscyamine) Hyoscyamine Scopolamine (d-hyoscine) Solanine Alkaloids are naturally occurring compounds that contain at least one nitrogen atom. The name alkaloid comes from the basic (high pH) nature of many members of the group, alkaline-like. Tropane alkaloids all have a tropane ring system but despite this structural similarity, the pharmacological effects of these compounds differ significantly. In addition to the alkaloids mentioned in this episode, cocaine is also an alkaloid that is widely used. Cocaine, Hyoscyamine, and Scopolamine are able to pass the blood-brain barrier and cause hallucinations and other psychoactive effects. Cocaine is extracted from Coca plants that are grown in South America. Hyoscyamine and Scopolamine are extracted from a few different Solanaceae plants including Duboisia plants that are grown on large plantations in Australia and Datura plants that are grown around the world. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andrea9559/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andrea9559/support
The potato is a starchy food, a tuber of the plant Solanum tuberosum and is a root vegetable native to the Americas. The plant is a perennial in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Wild potato species can be found from the southern United States to southern Chile. The potato was originally believed to have been domesticated by Native Americans. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tradepaperbacks/message --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rangerryan/message
Nightshades are a group of plants that belong to the Solanaceae family. They include some very commonly eaten foods such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and potatoes. These foods have been eaten for centuries by many cultures around the world and are considered a staple food in many traditional diets. Despite this, if you go digging into ‘health and wellness' advice on the Internet, you'll sometimes come across health warnings about nightshades. Digestive issues and inflammation feature prominently. In this podcast, I explore the evidence for any health harms arising from eating nightshades and put this into context for the many health benefits that they also provide.Episode transcriptTo access the full episode transcript, go to the following link and select the individual podcast episode and then click on the ‘Transcript' tab https://thinkingnutrition.buzzsprout.comConnect with meInstagram: doctimcroweFacebook: Thinking NutritionTwitter: CroweTim

Ashwagandha has been used in Ayurvedic medicine safely & effectively for over 2500 years. Sometimes referred to as "Indian Ginseng" this powerful adaptogen grows sustainably as a shrub in India, Africa, The Middle East and China. This plant is part of the Solanaceae (or nightshade family) and produces bright yellow flowers and red berries. However, it is the roots of this shrub that are used mostly for medicinal extracts. There are two main reasons ashwagandha is so prized by both Eastern medicine and now Western herbalism. One, is because of its proven safety record and that it is non-toxic, even when taken in large amounts and for long periods of time. The second reason ashwagandha is so valuable, is because of its versatility and ability for broad spectrum use. This is only a few of the reasons this particular adaptogen is so relevant for today's modern health challenges. Here are 6 amazing ways ashwagandha can help us.

Colorado potato beetle (CPB) is a devastating invasive insect pest of potato and other Solanaceae crops and can be found in potato-growing regions across Canada. The beetle is also capable of developing resistance to insecticides rapidly, making it more of a question of "when" specific resistances will develop, rather than "if." A five-year study conducted by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) researchers is examining CPB from a regional perspective, looking into whether there are genetic differences in CPB depending on region and if this affects insecticide resistance. In this episode, Tuber Talk host Dylan Sjolie speaks to Dr. Chandra Moffat, a research scientist in entomology and biological control with AAFC's Summerland Research and Development Centre in British Columbia, and Dr. Ian Scott, a research scientist with AAFC's London Research and Development Centre in Ontario. They discuss their joint research project focused on the development of regional management strategies and decision making tools for control of CPB, now in its final year.

Solanum lycopersicum, conocido comúnmente como tomate, jitomate o tomatera, es una especie de planta herbácea del género Solanum de la familia Solanaceae; es nativa de América Central y del norte y noroeste de Sudamérica; su uso como comida se habría originado en el sureste de México hace dos mil seiscientos años.5 El nombre proviene de la palabra náhuatl xītomatl. La planta es cultivada en el mundo entero para el consumo de su fruto, el tomate o jitomate, tanto fresco como procesado de diferentes maneras: salsa, puré, zumo, deshidratado, enlatado, etcétera.
This week, we explore one of the most important botanical families for food crops and medicine! Ever heard of nicotine or atropine? These tropane alkaloids from the Solanaceae family are just a few examples of pharmacologically active compounds from this group. I speak with Dr. Sandra Knapp, a world renown expert in the taxonomy of the Solanaceae, about tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, chili peppers and more! Want to learn more about this family? Check out the Solanaceae Source. Access the Broken Planet exhibit at the Natural History Museum London. #tomato #potato #CropWildRelatives
Patlıcan, bilimsel adıyla Solanum melongena, Solanaceae familyasına ait olup, ılık iklimlerde tek yıllık, tropik iklimlerde ise küçük bir ağaç şeklinde büyüyen çok yıllık bir kültür bitkisidir. Patlıcanın ilk yetiştiriciliği MÖ 5. yüzyılda Hindistan'da gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Back in episode 8 of the Self-Sufficiency Made Simple Podcast we covered the difference between perennials and annuals. If you haven't listened to that episode yet and aren't sure of the difference make sure you put it on your play next list. Annuals are different from perennials in many different ways. They are very vigorous growers going through a full life cycle in under a year meaning they grow from seed to a plant that produces seeds for the next cycle. Annuals are shallow-rooted with many annuals having their roots in the top 30 cms of soil and can dry out very fast in unfavourable conditions and they have high nutrient demand to feed their rapid growth. For convenience, many of us grow our annuals all together in the same garden bed. For example, in summer we tend to grow all our tomatoes together, in winter we will group our cabbages, broccoli and brussels sprouts together, have an easy to access garden bed with cut and come again green such as lettuce rocket and spinach and we will often build structures for climbing plants such as beans and peas. This is called monoculture and in nature, this kind of intensive growing doesn't occur. Crop rotation is moving our monoculture crops around to different locations each year. This is done in a planned sequence and can be done 2 different ways which I will get too shortly. I want to give you a visual here. Picture you have 3 garden beds. Last year in garden bed A you planted tomatoes, garden bed B you planted lettuce and garden bed C you planted carrots. This year you rotate by moving them along the sequence. Garden bed A now has Lettuce, garden bed B has carrots and C has tomatoes. Next year Bed A is carrots, bed B is tomatoes and bed C is lettuce. You can see that for 2 whole years you don't grow the same thing in the same bed. It might seem like a bunch of extra work and at first, it can be a little tricky to get your head around it if you are not a person who likes planning but it is very worth doing. When we have monoculture gardening a number of issues will arise. The same plants all have the same nutrient demands and this can deplete the soil of those specific nutrients and minerals if grown in the same location year after year. Using legumes like beans and peas in your crop rotation system is one way to help keep nitrogen balanced and readily available for other crops. Legumes are nitrogen fixing plants. This means They take nitrogen from the air and put it back into the soil in a form that is easily able to be accessed and used by other plants. Legumes are great to plant between heavy nitrogen feeding crops like leafy greens and Solanaceae or nightshade family like tomatoes, eggplant and potatoes. Another issue is pest and diseases. Like us, pests have particular preferences when it comes to the types of plants that they like and when we plant them on mass it means we have a very concentrated population of pests that eat our crops and lay eggs for the next generation. Beneficial bugs are great at keeping populations of unwanted pests down but they can't compete with an infestation. Similar situation with diseases. When we plant the same thing year after year we are cultivating the ideal conditions for disease and soil-borne pathogens to take hold and reinfect the plants year after year. I mentioned earlier that there are 2 main ways that people like to plant and rotate their crops. The first is planting by the family group. This means you only plant brassicas (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts) in the same bed, nightshades all together (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, capsicum), cucurbits (melon, cucumber, pumpkin, zucchini), alliums (onion, leek, garlic, shallot). This system is great if you like detail, have lots of room and are organised. When you start to plan it can get a bit complicated and many new gardeners give up because of the ‘CBF' factor... Can't be fucked. On the other hand, John Jeavon's has highlighted a simpler system of grouping annuals by their feeding needs. There are three groups to consider. One heavy feeders, heavy givers and light feeders. These categories are not all populated equally, with most plants falling into the heavy feeder section. However, using this three-part system to decide on what gets planted where from year-to-year is far simpler and takes much less brainpower and that's why it has me excited to change my rotation plan. Heavy feeders are those plants that need the most nutrients and minerals. all the nightshades, brassicas, lettuce, kale, celery, sweet corn, cucurbits, herbs and asparagus however asparagus is best in its own bed and treated like a perennial. Heavy givers are those that give back nitrogen and other elements to the soil. All legumes including peas, beans, alfalfa, clover and peanuts. Light feeders are a little less demanding and prefer a not so nutrient-dense soil and include all the onions, leek, parsnip, turnip, carrot, shallot, sweet potato, swedes, swiss chard (silverbeet) garlic and mustard greens. All root vegetables can be put in here except for radish which are heavy feeders due to their fast growth. The rotation system order is heavy feeders followed by heavy givers followed on by light feeders. To add in extra nutrients and build soil health you can add in a green manure crop in-between seasons. Mustard greens, clover, lucerne and one I am going to trial this winter is lacy phacelia aka blue tansy. We discussed green manure crops in some detail last week in the autumn todo list episode but basically just broadcast the seed thickly and cover it with enough soil or compost to hid the seed from birds. Water in and when it's grown in about 6 weeks chop it down and either turn it into the soil or leave it on top to break down. As part of any responsible crop, rotation practice is to give your soil a rest. Could you imagine if you were pumping out energy all the time and never took time to rest and restore? When we grow food so intensively we need to respect the earth and all the life underground that supports it. Resting a garden bed by adding one or more of manure, compost, green matte, then mulching and leaving it for 6 months allows the soil time to regenerate and life to come back into the bed. When we give back to our soil it will give back to us. This episode is sponsored by my soon to be released Self-Sufficiency Made Simple Composting Masterclass.

Entrepreneurs Will Pelton and Nick Kral, founders of Phytoform Labs, explain the genome editing technology that is the foundation of their business and share why they are excited about their platform's potential to deliver new crop traits efficiently, safely and sustainably. Introducing a new trait into a crop can take years with traditional breeding methods. Pelton and Kral discuss speeding up the process and improving accuracy by adopting recent genome editing developments in plant breeding technology, akin to the well known CRISPR-Cas9, and describe how they're using artificial intelligence to build new exploration tools to develop novel crop traits. As the global regulatory framework for new breeding technologies continues to evolve, the founders of Phytoform Labs explain how they're working to make the most impact with their technology and why they hope to improve the sustainability of the agricultural supply chain, starting with trait development in the Solanaceae family.

Plants of the Gods: Hallucinogens, Healing, Culture and Conservation podcast
Hexing Herbs and the Witches of Medieval Europe – The archetypal image of the witch as an old woman riding a broomstick was not a Hollywood creation. In the Middle Ages, “witches” were often skilled herbalists. Some used powerful plants of the Solanaceae family - plants like henbane and mandrake - that are rich in hallucinogenic compounds known as tropane alkaloids that can induce sensations of flying - to achieve altered states. And these plants were then rubbed on broomsticks that were applied to vaginal membranes, so they did fly through the hallucinogenic landscapes of their mind...

Tino shares tips on growing eggplants and capsicums as regular summer staples, from patch to plate.
Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum is thought to be the mother all chiles, because so many cultivars of peppers have come…
Spring Planting It’s a busy time – at 1:30am on the 23rd of September it is Spring! This means warmer soil temperatures, and in term germination rates increase. 1. Now’s the time to sow new lawns. First: ensure weeds are removed or killed. Whether you do that with Hitman or Glyphosate is up to you, but honestly: if you are that enamoured by lawns, you might as well get rid of all the weeds before you sow the seeds. Some folk do a weed-spray twice and then sow the seeds 10 days after the last spray. When sowing by hand: go east-west; then do a second run immediately afterwards: north-south. That eliminates any hand-throwing bias when the green grasslets sprout up! Let the grass grow and try not to mow too early. Often it’s actually better to “roll” your new lawn a few times, rather than cut it. This allows the grass to spread out a bit better. I wouldn’t cut it when it is less than 7 cm high. 2. Those Woosy plants we discussed a month or so ago (Chillies, Capsicums, Tomatoes and even Eggplant – all Solanaceae!) would appreciate to be sown in an indoor spot to grow with light and warmth. The glass house is okay as long as temps do not fall below around 7 or 8 degrees at night. We can now start to think about sowing these plants in the cooler South. Use good quality seed-raising mix and keep them damp, not soaking wet to prevent damping off and other fungal problems! I’ll be organising my tomato seedlings for the 2021 harvest season. 3. Cucumbers and Melons are always great to have in your veggie garden line-up. Getting them off to a good start also means that when they have germinated and are – say – 10 cm tall, you can put them outside to “harden” them off, before planting them in their final spot. Make sure they end up in a site that allows them to be seen by bumble bees, when they flower; there’s nothing as frustrating as having to useful pollinators on the first female flowers: the plant will start to make more male flowers as it “thinks” there isn’t enough pollen around for females to set seeds. Silly plant! Often it’s lack of pollinating insects that leaves the first female flowers unfertilised! 4. Gowing your own Gherkins is easy. Climb them up a frame of netting. 5. For the kids, we always get kids to grow radishes. They grow so quickly - 10-12 days from sowing to harvest. Or carrots - they take a while to grow to edible size, but they are a lot more flavoursome for kids. Then you can get the different colours of carrots: yellow, white, orange, red, purple, anaemic etc. Sow a new row every 2 weeks to keep supply going and spring is the time to start!
DESIGN ELEMENTS Edible Gardens Series Part 3 Part 3 is selecting and buying the seeds and plants.Probably the most enjoyable part of the edible garden process.So which seeds or plants and where to buy and what about crop rotation?Let’s find out…I'm talking with Glenice Buck, landscape designer and consulting arborist. You don't have to go to a store, because every type of vegetable is available online, either as a seed, or seedlings.You can buy advanced seedlings as an example, from a mail order company in Gippsland, Victoria if it‘s getting a bit late to sow or plant your winter crop. www.diggers.com.au They call them speedings, because they’re at least a month ahead of where you would be if you started them from seeds. Diggers seeds speeding collection Seeds are of course much cheaper but they could be 6-8 weeks behind seedlings, especially cabbages and other brassicas which are quite slow growing. The other issue if you plant out winter crops too late, so that when they're maturing, the season is too warm. Warm weather can bring with it more fungal problems and a horde of insects to infest your crop. Crop Rotation Is Important Crop rotation is important of course so that you don't have a build of pests of diseases with a particular crop. If you understand which group the vegetable your growing belongs to, then you can understand what to plant next once a certain crop is finished. Never grow the same crop more than once in the same bed. Fabacea or Legume family: peas, beans Asteraceae or Daisy Family: Leafy crops: spinach, lettuces, chicory. Solanaceae or Potato family:-tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, capsicum Apiaceae or Carrot family-carrots, parsnip, parsley, dill, celeriac Brassicaceae or Cabbage family: broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, radish Amaranthaceae or beetroot family: beetroot, spinach, swiss chard Cucurbitaceae or Marrow family-cucumber, zucchini, squash, marrow, melon If you have any questions of course, why not email realworldgardener@gmail.com or write in to 2RRR P.O.

16,000 years of Global Potato History Presented by Raghavan Iyer Author, Teacher Our speaker, Raghavan Iyer, is the author of “Smashed, Mashed, Boiled, and Baked–and Fried, Too!: A Celebration of Potatoes in 75 Irresistible Recipes.” And he’s going to have one heck of a spudworthy program for us. Here’s his tater-tot preview: “The fourth largest crop in the world, next to wheat, rice, and maize, this member of the nightshade family Solanaceae (which includes eggplant, peppers, and the tomato), with the botanical name Solanum tuberosum, is rooted in the Andean civilization that cultivated it around 10,000 CE. But it wasn’t until the Inca civilization (around 1500 CE) that the potato’s true agricultural impact was unleashed. Their intricate and sophisticated agricultural planning and tools, along with the ability of the potato to survive severe shifts in climate within short time periods, made this is a winsome partnership. Now it is an essential ingredient in billions of kitchens in over 100 countries across the globe No other crop in the world has had such an impact on every aspect of life, as we know it. It seems I’m being overly dramatic, but don’t just take my word for it. The history of the potato speaks for itself as you trace its social, economical, political, and societal implications in every nook and corner of the globe across all continents. I will be discussing the significance of this tuber through a timeline dating back 16,000 years and bringing it into the 21st century. I have culled information from various sources, crafting the story of the potato to experience the depth of its influences over the years.” Biography: Named by Epicurious.com as one of the top 100 influencers ever for home cooks in 2017 (alongside names like Julia Child and James Beard), Raghavan Iyer is the author of six critically acclaimed books, and has three James Beard Awards (one win and two finalists), one Emmy, and two IACP (formerly the Julia Child Awards) awards for cooking teacher of the year and a cookbook award. A past president of the International Association of Culinary Professionals, Raghavan is a spokesperson for many international clients and is a consultant for innumerable restaurants across the country. He has been featured numerous times in the New York Times and is a frequent guest on Public Radio’s The Splendid Table. He leads culinary tours yearly to the Indian subcontinent.

Hello Gardeners, I'm Amanda McNulty with Clemson Extension and Making It Grow. The family, Solanaceae, has the common name of nightshade, which sounds like something to avoid like the plague, includes some of our favorite vegetables. Besides tomatoes, other members are peppers, eggplants, and potatoes, and still an important agricultural crop, tobacco. Flowers include Datura, brugmansia, petunias and nicotiana. One important gardening and farming practice is crop rotation. If you plant the same crop over and over again, diseases that favor that plant family will build up in the soil, you should wait at least a year before planting other members of that family in the same spot. Deadly nightshade is one plant you probably won't have on your list – it was the source of belladonna which women used to get those dilated pupils – or bedroom eyes. In Italian Belladonna means beautiful woman but too much of it can be deadly.

Crop Rotation Strategies If you fail to incorporate effective crop rotation strategies in the vegetable garden, you can experience recurring pests and disease problems that will become greater year after year. It is crucial to establish the right crop rotation strategies to eliminate these problems. Our goal is to not plant the same family of crops in the same spot in consecutive years. Crops in the Same Family Travis shows a comprehensive list of vegetables and their respective families. The first family of crops is Solanaceae, commonly known as the nightshades. This family includes popular vegetable crops like tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, and potatoes. Most folks don't realize that potatoes are closely related to the other crops in the nightshade family. As a result, you wouldn't want to plant tomatoes, peppers or eggplant in the same spot as potatoes in a given year. If you are not careful to rotate these crops, you will almost certainly experience some blight issues that will intensify over time. The next family is Cucurbitaceae, also known as the Cucurbits. This family includes crops like summer squash, winter squash, pumpkins, cucumbers, watermelons, cantaloupes, and gourds. All of the crops in the Cucurbit family can have issues with powdery mildew and downy mildew, so rotating these crops ensures those disease problems will not increase year after year. Cucurbits also tend to have high insect pressure with pests like squash bugs, squash vine borers and pickle worms. The next family is the Brassicas, which is one of the most popular families of crops grown in the vegetable garden. The brassica family includes mustards, cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, kohlrabi, bok choy, rutabagas, turnips, and radishes. Brassicas can have recurring pest issues if not rotated properly, especially with worms that will chew and eat the plant leaves.

Viewer Questions Segment On the question and answer segment this week, the guys answer questions about seed starting schedules, cleaning seed trays, favorite tomato varieties, and moving plants from the greenhouse. Travis mentions that his ideal seed starting schedule is to plant early spring crops such as lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, etc., now. And he'll start planting peppers in late January or early February. In mid-February, he will start planting tomatoes and eggplants, and towards the end of February start planting okra, watermelons, pumpkins, zinnias, and sunflowers. Greg says that he never really cleans his trays using bleach or anything. However, he does let his trays dry completely for a few days or weeks before planting again. The guys mention that their favorite tomato for flavor is the Sun Gold variety and the Bella Rosa variety for ...
Crop Rotation Strategies If you fail to incorporate effective crop rotation strategies in the vegetable garden, you can experience recurring pests and disease problems that will become greater year after year. It is crucial to establish the right crop rotation strategies to eliminate these problems. Our goal is to not plant the same family of crops in the same spot in consecutive years.

In this episode, poet and author Gloria Steele-Hatten reads select exceepts from her Solanaceae collection.....A garden of feminine Night Shades, and shades of Night's femininity....this is not the wife you wake up to in the morning. This is the night wandering woman, out and seeing, unseen and all knowing at 3am. The darkened kitchen and the sound of mortar and pestle pounding leaves, spinning powders, the invoking murmurs that move trees. The softness of thighs parting to reveal sharp teeth. The warm velvet diamond turns to Vagina Dentata when chickens taste your meat. Razors dipped in honey, a fine curtsy bends her feet, a tongue dripping with oleander laced milk, eyes brushed with belladonna, head anointed with rose and cinammon oil, a crown of thorns and magnolia. Serving Brugmansia at tea time, she will ride you till she culminates with an owl's screech, and flies away with her mouthful of your dreams --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/LiminalSteele/support
Should You Eliminate Nightshades from Your Diet? The Internet and popular health books would have you believe peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, and other nightshades cause inflammation, autoimmune diseases, and gastrointestinal diseases. As I am often asked about nightshades, this article explores the research behind the misinformation and myths about nightshades. And when it comes to health books, it is important to remember the following quote from Mark Twain: Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. What are nightshades? Nightshades are the edible parts of the flowering plants in the Solanaceae family (pronounced sō-lə-ˈnā-sē-ē). In fact, there are thousands of plants in the Solanaceae family. While many are inedible, humans have eaten the edible nightshades like peppers, tomatoes, eggplant and potatoes for thousands of years without any problems. Why are nightshades called nightshades? It is unclear why nightshades are called nightshades. While there are many theories, my best guess is that it is because many of these plants prefer to grow in shady areas or they flower at night. What Are You Giving Up by Avoiding Nightshades? If you are going to follow the popular Internet and "health" book advice and avoid nightshades, you need to know what you are giving up. If you do choose to give up these foods, you will have to work hard to make sure you pick up these key nutrients and disease fighting abilities from other foods. 1. Tomatoes Tomatoes are one of the best sources of the powerful anti-oxidant, lycopene. Tomatoes are also high in vitamins A, C, and fiber. Tomatoes have been shown in medical studies to help prevent heart disease and cancer. These two conditions alone account for approximately 80% of all deaths in the US. 2. Peppers Peppers are another nutritional powerhouse food. If you give up peppers you will need to make up for the lost vitamins A, C and B6 as well as folate and fiber from other food sources. In addition to giving up these key nutrients, studies show you will also lose the weight loss benefits, metabolism boost, pain reduction, and heart disease protective effects of peppers. 3. Eggplant While eggplant may not be as flashy as tomatoes and peppers when it comes to nutritional qualities, they can still hold their own. Eggplant is a high fiber food which is also high in anthocyanin. Anthocyanin is that same purple color that is in blueberries. Many studies show that anthocyanin improves brain function and protects you from many brain diseases including dementia. 4. Potatoes Potatoes have a bad reputation. This is probably because more than 90% of potatoes are eaten as french fries or potato chips in the US. However, if you bake a real potato, and eat it with the skin, you will get a heathy dose of vitamins B6 and C, potassium, and fiber. For those with diabetes or blood sugar issues, potatoes can be eaten as a resistant starch. Merely the process of baking a potato, putting it in the fridge overnight, and then reheating it the next day changes it into a resistant starch with no significant blood sugar spike for most people. To learn more about resistant starches, please read blog number 164, How to Eat Pasta Without Gaining Weight. Do Nightshades Cause Autoimmune Diseases One widely propagated belief on the Internet and in "health" books is that nightshades causes autoimmune diseases. This belief arises from the alkaloids which are in nightshades. Anecdotally, many people claim that eliminating nightshades helped their autoimmune diseases. And for those people who report an improvement in their autoimmune disease by cutting out nightshades, they should continue to avoid these foods However, despite these anecdotal reports, there are no credible studies in humans linking nightshades to autoimmune diseases. Personally, I used to suffer from the autoimmune disease ankylosing spondylitis. In my quest to find relief,

Our civilization is starving for nutrients that are lacking in our food chain. Now more than ever, supplementation is crucial for health, because nutrients have been depleted from our soils, and destroyed in the processing & cooking of almost all the foods we eat. This type of malnutrition can be the cause of pain and chronic degenerative diseases. Even though caloric intake is abundant, many bodies lack proper nourishment. Superfoods provide the building blocks that are missing in a typical diet. They are an excellent way to provide natural, living energy for your body. The components contained within our products are dried with utmost care, to preserve the inherent life giving enzymatic activity.

Gene duplication is an opportunity for evolving new functions from the newer gene, but also has a disadvantage due to local gene-rearrangement effects and, if duplications are numerous, through alterations of genome size. Therefore, selection is playing a central role in determining the fate of a duplicate gene. Plants are known to harbor numerous gene families, and are thus an ideal system to test the fate of gene duplicates. This thesis tackles the tropinone-reductase like enzymes (further TRL) and the tau GSTs located upstream from this gene family. TRL enzymes are short-chain dehydrogenases that are involved in a reduction step downstream in the synthesis of tropane alkaloids in Solanaceae, important defense compounds of plants. The function of TRLs in Brassicaceae is not clear, since most of the plants in this family do not produce tropane alkaloids, but some have been associated with the oxidative-stress response. This gene family contains 80% of its members duplicated in tandem in Arabidopsis thaliana. We profited from this fact to isolate 12 TRL (+ pseudogenes) from this species, further six species of Brassicaceae (A. thaliana, A. lyrata, A. cebennensis, Capsella rubella, Boechera divaricarpa and Brassica rapa), and one species from a closely related plant family, Cleome spinosa. We tested the role that selection plays in maintaining large numbers of this gene family. We used phylogenetic methods to analyze non-coding sequence evolution and identified regulatory motifs. We analyzed non-coding sequence evolution. Microarray expression data from A. thaliana and qPCR for A. thaliana and A. lyrata were analyzed to detect divergence in the expression patterns of orthologs and paralogs. TRL genes follow a gene birth and death dynamics. More probable, they originated from non-equal recombination of tandem duplicated genes. Positive selection at the origin of the duplicated genes allowed these to acquire differential expression patterns, leading to the preservation of numerous TRLs. The analysis of coding and non-coding sequences shows them to display correlated evolution, particularly in species recently separated by speciation. We further tested for selection on the tau glutathione-S-transferases (GST) enzymes, adjacent 3' in the genome to TRLs. Tau GSTs are unique to plants and are involved in detoxification. Multiple copies of these enzymes will allow flexibility in substrate specificity, which is important for the detoxification function. We detected positive selection among paralogs of tau GSTs supporting their potential of functional diversity, but we also detected negative selection among paralogs and groups of orthologs, indicating that more often their functions are conserved.
