A total of 63 taxa belonging to Bryophyta (22 families 37 genera 44 species), Marchantiophyta (7 families 11 genera 18 species), and Antho- cerotophyta (1 family 1 genus 1 species) were determined, and the liverwort index was 30.2%. The predominant life form was the mat form. The rates of bryophytes dominating in mesic to hygric sites were higher than the bryophytes mainly observed in xeric habitats. These values indicate that such forests are widespread in this study area. Moreover, the rock was the substrate type, which plays a major role in providing micro-habitats for bryophytes. We suggest that more detailed studies of the bryophyte flora should be conducted on a regional scale to provide basic data for selecting indicator species of Gotjawal and evergreen broad-leaved forests on Jejudo Island. Keywords: bryophyte, Aewol Gotjawal, liverwort index, life-form Jejudo Island was formed by volcanic activities and has geological, ecological, and cultural aspects (Jeong et al., 2013; unique topological and geological features.

    Monoicous Species Pairs in the Mniaceae (Bryophyta); Morphology, Sexual Condition and Distiribution

Siles. Sci. Natur., 68: 67-81, 2019. Abstract: Some early observations seemed to show that, in the Mniaceae, the doubling of the chromo- some set affects a change from dioicous to monoicous condition, larger size of the gametophyte including larger leaf cell size, and to a wider range of the monoicous counterpart. The Mniaceae taxa are divided into four groups based on their sexual condition and morphology. 1. Dioicous – monoicous counterparts which can be distinguished by morphological characters, 2. Dioicous – monoicous taxa which have no morphological, deviating characters, 3. Monoicous species mostly with diploid chromosome number for which no dioicous counterpart is known, and 4. The taxa in Mniaceae with only dioicous plants. Most of the monoicous species of the Mniaceae have wide ranges, but a few of them are endemics in geographically isolated areas. The dioicous species have either a wide holarctic range or a limited range in the forested areas of temperate and meridional North America, Europe and SE Asia, or in subtropical Asia. Some of the monoicous species are evidently autodiploids and a few of them are allopolyploids from cross-sections of two species. Quite recently, several new possible dioicous – monoicous relationships have been discovered.

    Bibliographical References on the Bryophyte Flora of the Canary Islands (1740-2006)

    References on bryophytes from the Canary Islands 1 Bibliographical references on the bryophyte flora of the Canary Islands (1740-2006) A. Losada-Lima1, S. Rodríguez-Núñez1 & G.M. Dirkse2 1 Corresponding author: [email protected] 2 [email protected] Abstract: A compilation of 427 bibliographical references on bryophytes from Canary Islands is presented. In order to include all the information dealing with Canarian bryoflora, we have listed all references that record any data on this subject. Introduction The literature about the bryophytes of the Canary Islands is dispersed in reports, journals and books. From the XVIII century onwards, numerous works on bryophytes from the Canary Islands have been published by travelers, scientists, naturalists and botanists. Many authors have reported about bryophytes collected by them. Some specialists reported about material which was sent to them by amateurs for identification. The interest in the bryophyte flora of the Canary Islands has lead to numerous descriptions of new taxa. The objective of this work is to provide an up to date bibliography of taxonomic, geographic, ecological, phylogenetic books, papers, reports, and other printings concerning bryophytes of the Canary Islands. Incorporated are publications in which bryophytes are mentioned in connection with the Canary Islands. In all, 427 references are listed, of which slightly more than 25% has its focus on bryophytes from the Canary Islands. Although the literature was extensively searched and the list was carefully compiled, errors or omissions may occur. Corrections, additions, as well as new references are welcomed by the corresponding author. ARCHIVE FOR BRYOLOGY 24 (2007) 2 Losada-Lima, Rodríguez-Núñez & Dirkse List of references Ade, A.
  • Bryoflora of the Great Cypress Swamp Conservation Area, Sussex County, Delaware and Worcester County, Maryland

    Bryoflora of the Great Cypress Swamp Conservation Area, Sussex County, Delaware and Worcester County, Maryland

    The Maryland Naturalist 43 (3-4):9-17 . July/December 1999 The Bryoflora of the Great Cypress Swamp Conservation Area, Sussex County, Delaware and Worcester County, Maryland William A. McAvoy Introduction In 1998 the Delaware Natural Heritage Program (DNHP), with funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, completed a biological/ecological survey of the Great Cypress Swamp Conservation Area (GCSCA). The GCSCA is located in the central portion of the Delmarva Peninsula (a land area composed of the coastal plain counties of Delaware and the eastern shore counties of Maryland and Virginia) and lies on the border of Sussex County, Delaware and Worcester County, Maryland (Figure 1). Though the survey included a variety of inventories (avian, amphibian and reptile, natural community, and rare vascular plants), it is the data collected on bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) that are reported here. The study ofbryophytes on the Delmarva Peninsula has attracted very little interest over the years, and a search of the literature revealed only four pertinent papers. Owens (1949), while studying at the University of Maryland, submitted a graduate thesis titled A Preliminary List of Maryland Mosses and their Distribution. This annotated list, containing county distribution data and briefhabitat notes, included 198 taxa of mosses for the state of Maryland, with 65 taxa attributed to the eastern shore counties of Delmarva. Owens's list was based solely on pre-I 949 collections at US and MARY (Herbaria acronyms follow Holmgren et al. 1990). Confirmations and determinations were made by the author, as well as by numerous other authorities in the field ofbryology (Owens 1949).

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We present molecular phylogenetic investigation of Thuidiaceae, especially on Thudium and Pelekium. Three chloroplast sequences (trnL-F, rps4, and atpB-rbcL) and one nuclear sequence (ITS) were analyzed. Data partitions were analyzed separately and in combination by employing MP (maximum parsimony) and Bayesian methods. The influence of data conflict in combined analyses was further explored by two methods: the incongruence length difference (ILD) test and the partition addition bootstrap alteration approach (PABA). Based on the results, ITS 1& 2 had crucial effect in phylogenetic reconstruction in this study, and more chloroplast sequences should be combinated into the analyses since their stability for reconstructing within genus of pleurocarpous mosses. We supported that Helodiaceae including Actinothuidium, Bryochenea, and Helodium still attributed to Thuidiaceae, and the monophyletic Thuidiaceae s. lat. should also include several genera (or species) from Leskeaceae such as Haplocladium and Leskea. In the Thuidiaceae, Thuidium and Pelekium were resolved as two monophyletic groups separately. The results from molecular phylogeny were supported by the crucial morphological characters in Thuidiaceae s. lat., Thuidium and Pelekium. Key words: Thuidiaceae, Thuidium, Pelekium, molecular phylogeny, cpDNA, ITS, PABA approach Introduction Pleurocarpous mosses consist of around 5000 species that are defined by the presence of lateral perichaetia along the gametophyte stems. Monophyletic pleurocarpous mosses were resolved as three orders: Ptychomniales, Hypnales, and Hookeriales (Shaw et al.

    Gene 400 (2007) 25–34 www.elsevier.com/locate/gene The MADS-domain protein PPM2 preferentially occurs in gametangia and sporophytes of the moss Physcomitrella patens ⁎ Vanessa Quodt, Wolfram Faigl, Heinz Saedler, Thomas Münster Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research, Department of Molecular Plant Genetics, Cologne, Germany Received 4 April 2007; received in revised form 23 May 2007; accepted 24 May 2007 Available online 5 June 2007 Received by W. Martin Abstract To date, the function of MADS-domain transcription factors in non-seed plants remains largely elusive, although a number of genes have been isolated and characterized from a variety of species. In our study we analyzed PPM2, a classical MIKC-type MADS-box gene from the moss Physcomitrella patens, taking advantage of the unique technical properties Physcomitrella offers in terms of efficient homologous recombination. We determined mRNA and protein distribution and performed targeted disruption of the genomic locus for functional analysis of PPM2. Despite weak ubiquitous expression, PPM2 protein is mostly found in male and female gametangia and basal parts of developing sporophytes. Therefore, PPM2 seems to function in both the haploid and the diploid phase of the moss life cycle. This situation reflects an evolutionary transition state of gene recruitment from an ancestral gametophytic generation into a derived sporophytic generation which became dominating in tracheophytes. However, a knock-out of the PPM2 gene did not cause visible phenotypical changes in the respective structures. The implications of our findings for the understanding of the evolutionary history of MADS-box transcription factors in plants are discussed. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

    Mississippi Natural Heritage Program Special Plants - Tracking List -2018

    MISSISSIPPI NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM SPECIAL PLANTS - TRACKING LIST -2018- Approximately 3300 species of vascular plants (fern, gymnosperms, and angiosperms), and numerous non-vascular plants may be found in Mississippi. Many of these are quite common. Some, however, are known or suspected to occur in low numbers; these are designated as species of special concern, and are listed below. There are 495 special concern plants, which include 4 non- vascular plants, 28 ferns and fern allies, 4 gymnosperms, and 459 angiosperms 244 dicots and 215 monocots. An additional 100 species are designated “watch” status (see “Special Plants - Watch List”) with the potential of becoming species of special concern and include 2 fern and fern allies, 54 dicots and 44 monocots. This list is designated for the primary purposes of : 1) in environmental assessments, “flagging” of sensitive species that may be negatively affected by proposed actions; 2) determination of protection priorities of natural areas that contain such species; and 3) determination of priorities of inventory and protection for these plants, including the proposed listing of species for federal protection.
