  • Aerobiological Investigation and in Vitro Studies of Pollen Grains From
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Aerobiological Investigation and In Vitro Studies of Pollen Grains From 2 Dominant Avenue Trees in Kolkata, India J Mandal,1 I Roy,2 S Chatterjee,2 S Gupta-Bhattacharya1 1Division of Palynology and Environmental Biology, Department of Botany, Bose Institute, Kolkata, India 2Allergy Department, Institute of Child Health, Kolkata, India ■ Abstract Background: Peltophorum pterocarpum and Delonix regia are dominant avenue trees in the city of Kolkata in India. They are well adapted to the humid tropical climate and also grow commonly in different parts of the country. Their pollen grains are reported to be airborne. Objective: The aim of this study was to conduct an aerobiological survey in Kolkata to determine the concentration and seasonal periodicity of pollen grains from P pterocarpum and D regia and to analyze the meteorological factors responsible for their levels in the atmosphere. In addition, we analyzed the prevalence of sensitization due to these grains among patients with seasonal respiratory allergy. Methods: An aerobiological survey was conducted with a volumetric Burkard sampler from 2004 to 2006. Correlations between meteorological parameters and pollen grain concentrations were assessed by Spearman correlation test. The protein profi le of the pollen extracts was studied by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Finally, the allergenic potential of the pollen extracts was evaluated in patients with respiratory allergy by skin prick test, immunoglobulin (Ig) E enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and IgE immunoblotting. Results: P pterocarpum and D regia pollen grains occur from March to June and April to July, respectively. The pollen concentrations showed statistically signifi cant positive correlations with maximum temperature and wind speed.

  • Sierra Nevada Framework FEIS Chapter 3
    table of contrents Sierra Nevada Forest Plan Amendment – Part 4.6 4.6. Vascular Plants, Bryophytes, and Fungi4.6. Fungi Introduction Part 3.1 of this chapter describes landscape-scale vegetation patterns. Part 3.2 describes the vegetative structure, function, and composition of old forest ecosystems, while Part 3.3 describes hardwood ecosystems and Part 3.4 describes aquatic, riparian, and meadow ecosystems. This part focuses on botanical diversity in the Sierra Nevada, beginning with an overview of botanical resources and then presenting a more detailed analysis of the rarest elements of the flora, the threatened, endangered, and sensitive (TES) plants. The bryophytes (mosses and liverworts), lichens, and fungi of the Sierra have been little studied in comparison to the vascular flora. In the Pacific Northwest, studies of these groups have received increased attention due to the President’s Northwest Forest Plan. New and valuable scientific data is being revealed, some of which may apply to species in the Sierra Nevada. This section presents an overview of the vascular plant flora, followed by summaries of what is generally known about bryophytes, lichens, and fungi in the Sierra Nevada. Environmental Consequences of the alternatives are only analyzed for the Threatened, Endangered, and Sensitive plants, which include vascular plants, several bryophytes, and one species of lichen. 4.6.1. Vascular plants4.6.1. plants The diversity of topography, geology, and elevation in the Sierra Nevada combine to create a remarkably diverse flora (see Section 3.1 for an overview of landscape patterns and vegetation dynamics in the Sierra Nevada). More than half of the approximately 5,000 native vascular plant species in California occur in the Sierra Nevada, despite the fact that the range contains less than 20 percent of the state’s land base (Shevock 1996).

  • A Brief History of the Origin of Domesticated Date Palms
    A brief history of the origin of domesticated date palms Gros-Balthazard, Muriel 1 & Flowers, Jonathan M.1 1 Center for Genomics & Systems Biology, New York University Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Abstract The study of the origins of crops is of interest from both a fundamental evolutionary understanding viewpoint, and from an applied agricultural technology perspective. The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is the iconic fruit crop of hot and arid regions of North Africa and the Middle East, producing sugar-rich fruits, known as dates. There are many different cultivars each with distinctive fruit traits, and there are many wild Phoenix species too, which in total form a complex of related species. The understanding of plant domestication involves multiple disciplines, including phylogeography, population genetics and archaeology. In the past decade, they have prompted new discoveries on the evolutionary history of date palm, but a complete understanding of its origins remains to be elucidated, along with the genetic architecture of its domestication syndrome. In this chapter, we review the current state of the art regarding the origins of the domesticated date palm. We first discuss whether date palms are domesticated, and highlight how they diverge from their wild Phoenix relatives. We then outline patterns in the population genetic and archaeobotanical data, and review different models for the origins of domesticated date palms by highlighting sources of evidence that are either consistent or inconsistent with each model. We then review the process of date palm domestication, and emphasize the human activities that have prompted its domestication. We particularly focus on the evolution of fruit traits.

  • Forest Succession in Tropical Hardwood Hammocks of the Florida Keys: Effects of Direct Mortality from Hurricane Andrew1
    BIOTROPICA 33(1): 23±33 2001 Forest Succession in Tropical Hardwood Hammocks of the Florida Keys: Effects of Direct Mortality from Hurricane Andrew1 Michael S. Ross2 Florida International University, Southeast Environmental Research Center, University Park, Miami, Florida 33199, U.S.A. Mary Carrington Environmental Biology, Governors State University, University Park, Illinois 60466, U.S.A. Laura J. Flynn The Nature Conservancy, Lower Hudson Chapter, 41 South Moger Avenue, Mt. Kisco, New York 10549, U.S.A. Pablo L. Ruiz Florida International University, Southeast Environmental Research Center, University Park, Miami, Florida 33199, U.S.A. ABSTRACT A tree species replacement sequence for dry broadleaved forests (tropical hardwood hammocks) in the upper Florida Keys was inferred from species abundances in stands abandoned from agriculture or other anthropogenic acitivities at different times in the past. Stands were sampled soon after Hurricane Andrew, with live and hurricane-killed trees recorded separately; thus it was also possible to assess the immediate effect of Hurricane Andrew on stand successional status. We used weighted averaging regression to calculate successional age optima and tolerances for all species, based on the species composition of the pre-hurricane stands. Then we used weighted averaging calibration to calculate and compare inferred successional ages for stands based on (1) the species composition of the pre-hurricane stands and (2) the hurricane-killed species assemblages. Species characteristic of the earliest stages of post-agricultural stand de- velopment remains a signi®cant component of the forest for many years, but are gradually replaced by taxa not present, even as seedlings, during the ®rst few decades.
