US-Austria Cooperative Research: Leafy Spurges (Euphorbia) of Austria

这一关于"奥地利叶刺（Euphorbia）"的建议， Paul G.博士布卢明顿印第安纳州大学的马尔贝格和F. 奥地利维也纳大学植物园的埃克塞特多弗， 由NSF和奥地利FWF根据美国- 奥地利合作科学计划。 研究人员将分析奥地利的原生植物， 形态学、化学和细胞学特征。 马尔贝格博士 将得到广泛的数据分类的斯普拉什在整个 奥地利，而埃塞尔多夫博士将能够整合这些数据， 关于乳管组成的研究， 斯普瑟斯 马尔贝格博士希望确定 奥地利人与美国人一样， 有效的生物防治计划，以控制这种杂草，现在 给畜牧业造成重大经济损失，因此， 可以为已知的宿主种群引入特定的捕食者 分类群

This proposal on "Leafy Spurges (Euphorbia) of Austria" between Dr. Paul G. Mahlberg of Indiana University Bloomington and Dr. F. Ehrendorfer of the Botanical Garden, University of Austria, Vienna, is jointly approved by NSF and the FWF of Austria under the US- Austria Cooperative Science Program. The investigators will analyze the native spurges of Austria for morphological, chemical, and cytological characters. Dr. Mahlberg will derive extensive data on the taxa of the spurges throughout Austria, while Dr. Ehrendorfer will be able to integrate these data on laticifer composition into his cytotaxonomic studies of the spurges. Dr. Mahlberg hopes to determine the taxonomic affinities of Austrian spurges with those in the US as a prerequisite for an effective proposed biocontrol program to control this weed, now causing significant economic losses in the cattle industry, so that specific predators can be introduced for known populations of host taxa.
