Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Susanne S. Renner 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Günther Heubl Dissertation eingereicht am: 12. September 2011 Mündliche Prüfung am: 24. Mai 2012 3 4 Note Note In this thesis, I present the results from my doctoral research, carried out under the guidance of Prof. Susanne S. Renner at the University of Munich (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München) from June 2008 until September 2011. The results from my research have contributed to five manuscripts that have been published in, or submitted to, international peer-reviewed journals. These are presented in the five chapters of this thesis. All of them have resulted from collaborations with other scientists, and my contributions to each of them were as follows: Chapter 1: S. Renner and myself designed the research together. I generated, analyzed and interpreted the data. The manuscript was written by myself and S. Renner. All co-authors helped with interpretation of the data. Chapter 1 has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA (IF 2010: 9.771) under the following title: Sebastian, P. , Schaefer, H., Telford, I.R.H. and Renner, S.S. (2010) Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) and melon ( C. melo ) have numerous wild relatives in Asia and Australia, and the sister species of melon is from Australia. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA , 107: 14269-14273. Chapter 2: I. Telford and myself studied herbarium specimens and conducted fieldwork, I generated and analyzed the DNA data. Species descriptions and the key were prepared by I. Telford. The manuscript was written by I. Telford and myself, and revised by S. Renner. J. Bruhl prepared the distribution maps. The manuscript was published in Systematic Botany (IF 2010: 1.897) under the following title: Telford, I.R.H., Sebastian, P. , Bruhl, J.J. and Renner, S.S. (2011) Cucumis (Cucurbitaceae) in Australia and eastern Malesia, including newly recognized species and the sister species to C. melo . Systematic Botany , 36: 376-389. Chapter 3: Data for this chapter were generated and evaluated by myself, except for the sequences of Darwin’s specimen of S. villosus , which were generated by H. Schaefer. The manuscript was written by all authors in equal parts and published in Journal of Biogeography (IF 2010: 4.273) under the title: 5 Note Sebastian, P. , Schaefer, H. and Renner, S.S. (2010) Darwin’s Galapagos gourd: providing new insights 175 years after his visit. Journal of Biogeography , 35: 975-978. Chapter 4: S. Renner and myself designed the research together. I generated, analyzed and interpreted the data. The manuscript was written by myself and S. Renner. The other co- authors contributed the majority of DNA samples and commented on the manuscript. The manuscript is currently in review for Journal of Biogeography (IF 2010: 4.273) under the title: Sebastian, P. , Schaefer, H., Lira, R., Telford, I.R.H. and Renner, S.S. Radiation following long-distance dispersal: the contributions of time, opportunity, and diaspore morphology in Sicyos (Cucurbitaceae). Chapter 5: For this chapter, I. Telford and myself conducted fieldwork together, and both of us studied herbarium specimens. Telford conducted the phenetic analyses with help from J. Bruhl and prepared the species descriptions and key to the species, while I generated, analyzed, and interpreted the molecular data. Both of us wrote the main text, and S. Renner revised the manuscript, which is currently in review for Australian Systematic Botany (IF 2010: 0.961) under the title: Telford, I.R.H., Sebastian, P ., Bruhl, J.J. and Renner, S.S.

Coccinia grandis (Cucurbitaceae) is a perennial plant popularly known as kundru, Tondlee, Ivy gourd, Bimbi and Scarlet gourd etc. This herb is used in folk medicine in the form of intact fruits for healing oral ulcers. So the present work was done with an objective to develop a gel formulation from hydroalcoholic extract of coccinia grandis fruit for the treatment of ulcer and for healing of associated wound and inflammation. Molecular docking study was carried out for lupeol and taraxerone, the chemical constituents contained in the fruits. The dock score values were found to be -51.83 and -35.87 respectively for antiulcer activity. For wound healing activity the values found were -27.25 and -27.17 respectively for the two components, whereas the dock score values obtained for the anti-inflammatory activities were -58.6632 and -58. respectively for lupeol and taraxerone. The negative dock score value shows better affinity to bind receptor site. Application of hydroalcoholic extract gel of (20%w/w) for antiulcer and wound healing activities caused a significant reduction in ulcer and wound area when compared with the untreated controls and marketed formulation.

  • Origin of Plant Originated from Some Had Possibly Changed Recognise Original Wild Species. Suggested a Relationship with Pr
    The possible origin of Cucumis anguria L. by A.D.J. Meeuse (National Herbarium, Pretoria) (Issued Oct. 2nd, 1958) Cucumis India Gherkin” “Bur anguria L., the “West or Gherkin”, is a cultigen known to have occurred in the West Indies in a cultivated or more or less adventitious state since before 1650 when the first accounts of this plant were published (1, 2). The occurrence of a single species of this old world genus — which is mainly African but extends through South West Asia to India — in America, combined with the fact that it is almost exclusively found in cultivation or as an escape, makes one feel suspicious about its being truly indigenous in the New World. Naudin (4) discussed the history of this plant and suggested that it introduced from West Africa whence slaves were was originally negro brought to the New World. However, he admittedly did not know any wild African species of Cucumis which resembles C. anguria sufficiently to deserve consideration as its probable ancestor. J. D. Hooker (5) also discussed the origin of the West Indian plant and was inclined to agree that it originated from some wild African ancestral form which had possibly changed so much through cultivation that it would be somewhat difficult to recognise the original wild species. He suggested a relationship with Cucumis prophetarum and “C. figarei” but he cautiously stated that these two species are perennial, whereas C. anguria is a typical annual. A. de Candolle (6) pointed out that although C. anguria was generally assumed to be a native of the Antilles, more particularly of Jamaica, two facts plead against this idea.

    ATOLL RESEARCH BULLETIN No. 139 THE ISLAND OF ANEGADA AND ITS k'LORA by W. G. D'Arcy Issued by THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Washington, D. C., U. S. A. February 16, 1971 THE ISLAND OF ANEGADA AND ITS nORA The island of Anegada in the British Virgin Islands is of interest because of its isolated location in relation to the Antillean island arc, its unusual topography amongst the Virgin Islands, and also the fact that it has received very little scientific attention. It now seems destined to join the list of islands which have succumbed to modern "development". This checklist combines past published reports with the writer's own collections and attempts to correct the nomenclature formerly applied to this flora. THE ISLAND Anegada is the northeasternmost of the British Virgin Islands and of the entire West Indian arc for that matter, vying with the rocky lighthouse, Sombrero, well to the southeast, as the closest Antillean approach to Europe. Its geographic coordinates are 18'45'N and 64°20'W, and it encompasses 14.987 square miles (Klumb and Robbins 1960) or about 33 square km. In shape it is a rather lumpy crescent with its long axis running approximately west by north and east by south. The nearest land, Virgin Gorda, some thirteen miles (ca 22 km) to the south and slightly west, is a prominent feature on the horizon (Fig. I), as is the mass of the other Virgins--Tortola, Camanoe and Jost Van Dyke-- further to the southwest. To the north and east there is no land for a long way.
