MICROWAVE DRYING OF HERBARIUM SPECIMENS

TAXON, 1985
SummaryThe authors propose the use of a microwave oven as a new rapid procedure for herbarium specimen drying. A comparison between the new method and the usual procedure is presented and discussed with regard to external appearance and morphological characteristics.

PREPARATION OF OPUNTIA HERBARIUM SPECIMENS

Haseltonia, 2007
Abstract We present a best-practice method for preparing high-quality Opuntia herbarium specimens, from collection methods to storage. A botanical press having wide, thick, wooden boards is used for cladode drying. A layer consisting of corrugated cardboard, absorbent paper, newspaper, and a thin wood laminate is placed between each cladode.

On herbarium specimen images and artificial intelligence

New Phytologist
SummaryDigitized herbarium specimens are increasingly used to train artificial intelligence (AI) models in plant identification and other botanical applications. The abundant specimen images available in public repositories are especially amenable to AI. For instance, digitized herbarium sheets are relatively standardized – generally flattened portions

THE HERBARIUM PRESERVATION OF CONIFER SPECIMENS

TAXON, 1979
SummaryThe adequate preservation of conifer specimens for the herbarium poses major problems concerned with the disintegration of material on drying. A new effective general method of treatment, which for the first time enables preservation to be achieved without disintegration, is described, and a schedule of treatment recommended.

DNA Extraction from Herbarium Specimens

2013
With the expansion of molecular techniques, the historical collections have become widely used. Studying plant DNA using modern molecular techniques such as DNA sequencing plays an important role in understanding evolutionary relationships, identification through DNA barcoding, conservation status, and many other aspects of plant biology.

DNA from Herbarium Specimens

1994
Old, soft tissues from plants and fungi may be derived from many sources, including fossil beds (Golenberg et al. 1990; Soltis et al. 1992) and sites of human or animal habitation (Rogers and Bendich 1985), but by far the most voluminous sources of these tissues are dried herbarium collections.

A method of mounting herbarium specimens

New Zealand Journal of Botany, 1968
Summary A method of mounting pressed herbarium specimens using liquid plastic and stacking the sheets white drying is described. This has been developed and found convenient where several technical assistants are mounting material from widely different plant groups, at limited bench space.

GRAPEVINE VARIETY DETERMINATION FROM HERBARIUM AND ARCHEOLOGICAL SPECIMENS

Acta Horticulturae, 2014
Genotyping old grapevine samples, in particular variety identification via microsatellite profiling, is not yet a routine. The success depends on several factors, the age of the investigated material being the most obvious one. In addition, the amount and integrity of DNA depends on specimen storage/preservation history.
