CMSP Daily Wantlist Update

Need image of magnificent tree from a distance that shows its shape and size. Message is the endurance of plants to maturity. Prefer tree from Midwest (maple, oak, elm)

Introduction talks about “we owe our lives to plants”. Need images of the following:
1. Home built of wood. Could be in the process of construction with workers and piles of wood. Great if could get Habitat for Humanity building – maybe workers are wearing H for H tee shirts.

2. Clothes from cotton. Prefer blue jeans. Would like image of a crowd wearing blue jeans or maybe a cotton shirt on a clothes line.

3. Food piled up at farmer’s market or on counter, showing variety of vegetables. Tight shot. No people

4. Family or people picking fruit (apples, peaches)

5. Things made from rubber, or other plants

· Medicine from plants.
1. Pacific yew (Taxus brevifolia) used in taxol for cancers

2. Mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum)

3. Annual artemesia (Artesmia annua)

4. White willow (Salix alba)

Gene therapy for plant diseases
1. Potato effected by potato blight. Best if shows blighted potato and blighted leaf on plant
2. Ornamental nightshade (Solanum bulbocastanum) – gene from this plant can be used to cure potato blight
