  • Chapter 4. Experimental Pollinations Within and Between Members of the Drosera Peltata Complex (Droseraceae)
    Chapter 4. Experimental pollinations within and between members of the Drosera peltata complex (Droseraceae) 4.1 Introduction The study of plant breeding systems has taxonomic and evolutionary implications. Inter-taxon compatibility, measured by seed set following cross pollinations, has been used to define taxon limits. Individuals that are cross­ compatible and produce fertile offspring are considered to be conspecific, or belong to the same species, whereas those that do not are considered separate species. This is known as the biological species concept (Mayr and Ashlock 1991~ Mayr 1993). The phylogenetic species concept approach also defines taxa by their gene flow, and estimates evolutionary relationships between entities. It is considered that unimpeded gene flow occurs within species, but that reproductive barriers prevent gene flow between species (Mayr 1993). The nature and extent of these reproductive barriers are considered to be commensurate in scale to the evolutionary divergence between the taxa of interest (Nixon and Wheeler 1990). Reproductive isolation mechanisms may exist that prevent gene flow between indi vidual plants or plant populations. These mechanisms may operate prior to pollination, between pollination and fertilization or post-fertilisation (Levin 1971). For example, otherwise reproductively compatible taxa may grow allopatrically, or may be sympatric but with non-overlapping flowering seasons, which prevents gene flow. Sympatlic congeners may also have floral morphologies that allows access by some pollinators but not others, preventing heterospecific pollen transfer. Prezygotic reproductive barriers prevent heterospecific pollen from germinating on the stigmas, or chemically inhibit pollen tube growth in the style. Postzygotic reproductive barriers may occur so that hybrid zygotes fail to develop.

Introduction There are approximately 700 identified species of carnivorous plants placed in 15 genera of nine families of dicotyledonous plants (Albert et al. 1992; Ellison & Gotellli 2001; Fleischmann 2012; Rice 2006) (Table 1). In India, a total of five genera of carnivorous plants are reported with 44 species; viz. Utricularia (38 species), Drosera (3), Nepenthes (1), Pinguicula (1), and Aldrovanda (1) (Santapau & Henry 1976; Anonymous 1988; Singh & Sanjappa 2011; Zaman et al. 2011; Kamble et al. 2012). Inter- estingly, northeastern India is the home of all five insectivorous genera, namely Nepenthes (com- monly known as tropical pitcher plant), Drosera (sundew), Utricularia (bladderwort), Aldrovanda (waterwheel plant), and Pinguicula (butterwort) with a total of 21 species. The area also hosts the “ancestral false carnivorous” plant Plumbago zelayanica, often known as murderous plant. Climate Lowland to mid-altitude areas are characterized by subtropical climate (Table 2) with maximum temperatures and maximum precipitation (monsoon) in summer, i.e., May to September (in some places the highest temperatures are reached already in April), and average temperatures usually not dropping below 0°C in winter.

  • The Drosera Peltata -D
    J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 3(1): 91-100 (1981) THE DROSERA PELTATA -D. AURICULATA COMPLEX Barry J. Conn Department of Botany, University of Adelaide, G.P.O. Box 498, Adelaide, South Australia 5001. Abstract The correct authority of Drosera pehata is shown to be Thunberg and a specimen on Herb. Thunberg 7720 (UPS) is chosen as the new lectotype of this species. D. pe/tata and D. auriculata are variable taxa which consistently intergrade in parts of their wide range. As a consequence, D. auriculata is reduced to a subspecies of D. pe/tata. A description of D. pe/tata, a key to the two subspecies and descriptions of each are presented. Introduction While preparing accounts of the genus Drosera for the 'Handbook Flora of Papua New Guinea' and 'The Alpine Flora of New Guinea', I noted an apparent difference between my initial concept of Drosera pelt ata and van Steenis' (1953) circumscription of this species. Upon further investigation, it was soon evident that this species had been variously interpreted by different authors. Furthermore, some of the New Guinea material appeared to be intermediate between D. pelt ata and D. auriculata. Therefore, I decided that it was necessary to study material of these two taxa over their full range, so that the New Guinea situation might be resolved. During a brief visit to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in 1978, the type material of the various taxa were studied, but only with reference to New Guinea. It is only recently that I have become aware of some of the broader taxonomic and typification problems within the genus.

Carnivorous plants have been fascinating researchers with their unique characters and bioinspired applications. These include medicinal trait of some carnivorous plants with potentials for pharmaceutical industry. Methods. This review will cover recent progress based on current studies on digestive enzymes secreted by different genera of carnivorous plants: Drosera (sundews), Dionaea (Venus flytrap), Nepenthes (tropical pitcher plants), Sarracenia (North American pitcher plants), Cephalotus (Australian pitcher plants), Genlisea (corkscrew plants), and Utricularia (bladderworts). Results. Since the discovery of secreted protease nepenthesin in Nepenthes pitcher, digestive enzymes from carnivorous plants have been the focus of many studies. Recent genomics approaches have accelerated digestive enzyme discovery. Furthermore, the advancement in recombinant technology and protein purification helped in the identification and characterisation of enzymes in carnivorous plants. Discussion. These different aspects will be described and discussed in this review with focus on the role of secreted plant proteases and their potential industrial applications.

Drosera is a very well-known insectivorous plant and it is consists of near about 170 species throughout the world. Phytochemical profiling of this species has revealed the presence of highly valuable phytochemicals like Quercetin, Hyperoside, Isoquercitrin and Naphthoquinones etc. We utilized logical writing and scientific literature from electronic search engine such as Spinger link, science direct, Pub Med, Scopus and BioMed central as well as relevant books, websites, scientific publications and dissertation as a source of information. According to recent research information, these compounds are strongly associated with anti-cancerous, anti- microbial and also anti-inflammatory activities. This review intends to investigate the published report regarding phytochemicals, ethnomedicinal and pharmacological viewpoints and put forth the therapeutic potential of Drosera. Future research can be directed to extensive investigation about phytochemistry, clinical trials and pharmacokinetics acquiring safety data so as to add new dimensions to therapeutic utilization of Drosera.

  • Resolution of the Drosera Peltata Complex (Droseraceae)
    Resolution of the Drosera peltata complex (Droseraceae) Robert Gibson • 5 Kristen Close • Cardiff Heights • NSW 2285 • Australia • robert.gibson@ environment.nsw.gov.au Barry Conn • National Herbarium of New South Wales • Sydney • NSW 2000 • Australia Jeremy Bruhl • Botany, School of Environmental and Rural Science • University of New England • Armidale • NSW • Australia Keywords: taxonomy, Drosera peltata complex. Drosera peltata Thunb. was described from a specimen collection made in 1793 (Thunberg 7720) from the vicinity of current-day Sydney, Australia. In the years that followed at least a dozen morphologically similar taxa were described, often with imprecisely defined characters that led to confusion in the application of available names to plants in the wild and in cultivation. Conn (1981) and Gibson (1993) independently tackled part of this taxonomic problem and this led to one of us (R.G.) continuing the study of the complex as a PhD project at the University of New England. Ad- ditional morphological work resulted in the recognition of the D. peltata complex as comprising five species (Gibson et al. 2012). This paper is a summary of Gibson et al. (2012) and was prepared from Gibson’s presentation at the 9th ICPS Conference. Drosera peltata is a tuberous herb with an erect stem with alternate crescentic leaves that ends in a terminal raceme of flowers, and may have a basal rosette formed prior to stem growth. This habit was recognized in several subsequently-described sundews, notably D. auriculata Backh. ex Planch., D. foliosa Hook.f. ex Planch., D. gracilis Hook.f. ex Planch., D. insolita Taton, D. lobbiana Turcz., D.
