  • Carnivorous Plant Responses to Resource Availability
    Carnivorous plant responses to resource availability: environmental interactions, morphology and biochemistry Christopher R. Hatcher A doctoral thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University November 2019 © by Christopher R. Hatcher (2019) Abstract Understanding how organisms respond to resources available in the environment is a fundamental goal of ecology. Resource availability controls ecological processes at all levels of organisation, from molecular characteristics of individuals to community and biosphere. Climate change and other anthropogenically driven factors are altering environmental resource availability, and likely affects ecology at all levels of organisation. It is critical, therefore, to understand the ecological impact of environmental variation at a range of spatial and temporal scales. Consequently, I bring physiological, ecological, biochemical and evolutionary research together to determine how plants respond to resource availability. In this thesis I have measured the effects of resource availability on phenotypic plasticity, intraspecific trait variation and metabolic responses of carnivorous sundew plants. Carnivorous plants are interesting model systems for a range of evolutionary and ecological questions because of their specific adaptations to attaining nutrients. They can, therefore, provide interesting perspectives on existing questions, in this case trait-environment interactions, plant strategies and plant responses to predicted future environmental scenarios. In a manipulative experiment, I measured the phenotypic plasticity of naturally shaded Drosera rotundifolia in response to disturbance mediated changes in light availability over successive growing seasons. Following selective disturbance, D. rotundifolia became more carnivorous by increasing the number of trichomes and trichome density. These plants derived more N from prey and flowered earlier.

Abstract: Cape Sundew (Drosera capensis), a carnivorous plant that catches flies with sticky mu- cus, has attracted great interest among botanists and horticulture hobbyists since the Darwin era. But little is known about how this carnivorous plant regulates morphogenesis and organ formation to accommodate environmental changes. In this article we present the relationship between gland secretion of Cape Sundew and photoperiod utilizing various physiological and morphological meth- ods. We show that Cape Sundew grows faster and secretes more mucus under long days than under short days. Under long days leaf length and the blade\petiole ratio increases, leading to increased fly catching capacities. More importantly, in the short term, the rhythm of photoperiod causes Cape Sundew to secrete mucus independent of photo intensity. Introduction As one of the most special plant groups, carnivorous plants perform photosynthesis and feed on insects and some large carnivorous plants even prey on birds and small mammals. Darwin believed that a carnivorous plant was one of the most astonishing phenomena in the world (Dar- win 1875; Ellison & Gotelli 2009). Carnivorous plants are represented by more than 600 species belonging to 20 genera (Ellison & Gotelli 2001; McPherson 2010).

  • Rethinking Phylogenetics Using Caryophyllales (Angiosperms), Matk Gene and Trnk Intron As Experimental Platform
    Rethinking phylogenetics using Caryophyllales (angiosperms), matK gene and trnK intron as experimental platform Sunny Sheliese Crawley Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Biological Sciences Khidir W. Hilu Eric P. Beers Carla V. Finkielstein Jill C. Sible December 2, 2011 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: (phylogeny, missing data, caryophyllids, trnK intron, matK, RNA editing, gnetophytes) Copyright 2011, Sunny Sheliese Crawley Rethinking phylogenetics using Caryophyllales (angiosperms), matK gene and trnK intron as experimental platform Sunny Sheliese Crawley ABSTRACT The recent call to reconstruct a detailed picture of the tree of life for all organisms has forever changed the field of molecular phylogenetics. Sequencing technology has improved to the point that scientists can now routinely sequence complete plastid/mitochondrial genomes and thus, vast amounts of data can be used to reconstruct phylogenies. These data are accumulating in DNA sequence repositories, such as GenBank, where everyone can benefit from the vast growth of information. The trend of generating genomic-region rich datasets has far outpaced the expasion of datasets by sampling a broader array of taxa. We show here that expanding a dataset both by increasing genomic regions and species sampled using GenBank data, despite the inherent missing DNA that comes with GenBank data, can provide a robust phylogeny for the plant order Caryophyllales (angiosperms). We also investigate the utility of trnK intron in phylogeny reconstruction at relativley deep evolutionary history (the caryophyllid order) by comparing it with rapidly evolving matK. We show that trnK intron is comparable to matK in terms of the proportion of variable sites, parsimony informative sites, the distribution of those sites among rate classes, and phylogenetic informativness across the history of the order.

Our paper presents the possibilities regarding the in vitro propagation of species Drosera rotundifolia si Pinguicula vulgaris, two of the few carnivorous species in Romania. These two species can be found in humid, swampy areas, especially in peat bogs, the perimeters in which they live are natural reservations, protected areas or Natura 2000 sites, being protected by law. The in vitro propagation of these species was done with the aim of obtaining a large number of plants in a short time, starting from leaf fragments, for the conservation of the bodiversity of these sites. Keywords: Drosera rotundifolia , Pinguicula vulgaris, in vitro, acclimation INTRODUCTION The European Union embarked on the path of stopping the decline of biodiversity and it takes part in a global convention for the significant reduction of the loss in biodiversity. Natura 2000 is essential for attaining this goal, as it is the network of environmental protection areas at the level of the European Union, created in order to ensure the survival of the most valuable species and habitats in Europe. It is not limited to natural reservations, but it is based on a broader principle of conservation and sustainable use, according to which people and nature can coexist in harmony.

  • The Thread-Leaf Sundews Drosera Filiformis and Drosera Tracyi
    Technical Refereed Contribution The thread-leaf sundews Drosera Filiformis and Drosera tracyi Barry a. rice • Center for Plant Diversity • University of California • One Shields Avenue • Davis, California 95616 • USA • [email protected] Keywords: Taxonomy: Drosera filiformis, Drosera tracyi. Received: 12 June 2010 Introduction The thread-leaf sundews of the Eastern North America are spectacular plants with erect, tall, filiform leaves. Backlit in the morning or evening light, their leaves burst with sunlight. There are two thread-leaf sundews (also known as dew-threads), known as either infraspecific taxa within Drosera filiformis, or as Drosera filiformis and Drosera tracyi. In this paper, I review their history of discovery, the details of their ranges, and the arguments regarding whether the two taxa should be treated as one species or two. I also describe the morphological differences between the two sundews. In total, this paper summarizes the current knowledge for this group, and also serves as a progress report on my continuing work on these plants. A history of controversy In 1808, Rafinesque described the thread-leaf sundew, Drosera filiformis Raf., which occurs on the Atlantic Coast of North America. The 1802 holotype he selected for this description is one of the oldest North American herbarium specimens housed in a North American herbarium (Sheviak 2010). In 1906, Diels noted that specimens from the USA’s Gulf Coast were larger and greener, so he estab- lished for them the name D. filiformis var. tracyi Diels. In doing so, the name D. filiformis Raf. var. filiformis was created automatically (i.e., an autonym) for the smaller, reddish thread-leaf sundew.
