  • A Multiscale Approach to Understanding Calcium Toxicity in Australian Proteaceae
    1489 Microsc. Microanal. 21 (Suppl 3), 2015 doi:10.1017/S1431927615008223 Paper No. 0743 © Microscopy Society of America 2015 A Multiscale Approach to Understanding Calcium Toxicity in Australian Proteaceae Peta L. Clode1, Patrick Hayes1,2, Nicolas Honvault1,2,3, and Hans Lambers2 1. Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation & Analysis, The University of Western Australia. Crawley, WA 6009 Australia. 2. School of Plant Biology, The University of Western Australia. Crawley, WA 6009 Australia. 3. Agriculture, Institut Polytechnique LaSalle Beauvais. Beauvais Cedex, 60026 France. The Proteaceae are a family of plants predominantly distributed within the Southern hemisphere, with >600 species in West Australia alone. They display staggering diversity and endemism but are highly restricted in their distibution by soil quality and type. In order to understand the role of calcium in influencing distribution patterns, we are sampling plant species that are soil-indifferent (few, grow across all environments) and calcifuge (common, grow in acidic, nutrient poor soils). From this, the distribution, form, and amount of calcium in leaves is being investigated at the cellular level using a variety of correlative techniques, including optical-based microscopies, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray microscopy, and quantitative EDS X-ray microanalysis. For optical based imaging and analysis, chemically fixed samples are either sectioned (100 um thickness) using a vibratome or embedded in ultra low viscosity resin and microtomed (1 um thickness). Samples are subsequently imaged using brightfield and ultraviolet techniques, and analysed via Raman spectroscopy (WITec alpha 300RA+). For X-ray microscopy (Xradia Versa XRM-520), chemically fixed samples are incrementally scanned over 360 degrees to produce 3-dimensional data sets, which are then reconstructured and quantitatively analysed using a variety of software packages.

  • GENOME EVOLUTION in MONOCOTS a Dissertation
    GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School At the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Kate L. Hertweck Dr. J. Chris Pires, Dissertation Advisor JULY 2011 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS Presented by Kate L. Hertweck A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Dr. J. Chris Pires Dr. Lori Eggert Dr. Candace Galen Dr. Rose‐Marie Muzika ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many people for their assistance during the course of my graduate education. I would not have derived such a keen understanding of the learning process without the tutelage of Dr. Sandi Abell. Members of the Pires lab provided prolific support in improving lab techniques, computational analysis, greenhouse maintenance, and writing support. Team Monocot, including Dr. Mike Kinney, Dr. Roxi Steele, and Erica Wheeler were particularly helpful, but other lab members working on Brassicaceae (Dr. Zhiyong Xiong, Dr. Maqsood Rehman, Pat Edger, Tatiana Arias, Dustin Mayfield) all provided vital support as well. I am also grateful for the support of a high school student, Cady Anderson, and an undergraduate, Tori Docktor, for their assistance in laboratory procedures. Many people, scientist and otherwise, helped with field collections: Dr. Travis Columbus, Hester Bell, Doug and Judy McGoon, Julie Ketner, Katy Klymus, and William Alexander. Many thanks to Barb Sonderman for taking care of my greenhouse collection of many odd plants brought back from the field.

Combining molec- Herein, the focus is on divergence times for the basal nodes of ular phylogenies with reference fossils of known minimum age the monocot phylogeny, and any precision in dating the upper makes it possible to date the nodes of the phylogenetic tree. The nodes of the tree is not attempted. To this end, mean branch dating may be done by counting inferred changes in sequenced lengths from the terminals to the basal nodes of the tree are genes along the branches of the phylogeny and calculating change calculated. Unequal rates in different lineages are manifested as rates by using the reference fossils. Plastid DNA rbcL sequences and unequal branch lengths counting from the root to the terminals eight reference fossils indicate that Ϸ14 of the extant monocot in phylogenetic trees, and the procedure of calculating mean lineages may have diverged from each other during the Early branch lengths reduces the problem of unequal rates toward the Cretaceous >100 million years B.P. The lineages are very different base of the tree.

Location Southern South America and Australasia. Methods We analysed various combinations of mitochondrial and nuclear data to address the monophyly, phylogenetic position and age of Corsiaceae. To test its monophyly, we used a three-locus data set including most monocot orders, and to infer its exact phylogenetic position, we used a five-locus extended data set. We corroborated these findings using an independent plas- tome dataset. We then used a two-locus dataset with taxa from all monocot orders, and a three-locus dataset containing only taxa of Liliales, to estimate divergence times using a fossil-calibrated uncorrelated lognormal relaxed-clock approach.
