  • The Evolution of Pollinator–Plant Interaction Types in the Araceae
    BRIEF COMMUNICATION doi:10.1111/evo.12318 THE EVOLUTION OF POLLINATOR–PLANT INTERACTION TYPES IN THE ARACEAE Marion Chartier,1,2 Marc Gibernau,3 and Susanne S. Renner4 1Department of Structural and Functional Botany, University of Vienna, 1030 Vienna, Austria 2E-mail: [email protected] 3Centre National de Recherche Scientifique, Ecologie des Foretsˆ de Guyane, 97379 Kourou, France 4Department of Biology, University of Munich, 80638 Munich, Germany Received August 6, 2013 Accepted November 17, 2013 Most plant–pollinator interactions are mutualistic, involving rewards provided by flowers or inflorescences to pollinators. An- tagonistic plant–pollinator interactions, in which flowers offer no rewards, are rare and concentrated in a few families including Araceae. In the latter, they involve trapping of pollinators, which are released loaded with pollen but unrewarded. To understand the evolution of such systems, we compiled data on the pollinators and types of interactions, and coded 21 characters, including interaction type, pollinator order, and 19 floral traits. A phylogenetic framework comes from a matrix of plastid and new nuclear DNA sequences for 135 species from 119 genera (5342 nucleotides). The ancestral pollination interaction in Araceae was recon- structed as probably rewarding albeit with low confidence because information is available for only 56 of the 120–130 genera. Bayesian stochastic trait mapping showed that spadix zonation, presence of an appendix, and flower sexuality were correlated with pollination interaction type. In the Araceae, having unisexual flowers appears to have provided the morphological precon- dition for the evolution of traps. Compared with the frequency of shifts between deceptive and rewarding pollination systems in orchids, our results indicate less lability in the Araceae, probably because of morphologically and sexually more specialized inflorescences.

  • Flowering Plants of South Norwood Country Park
    Flowering Plants Of South Norwood Country Park Robert Spencer Introduction South Norwood Country Park relative to its size contains a wide range habitats and as a result a diverse range of plants can be found growing on site. Some of these plants are very conspicuous, growing in great abundance and filling the park with splashes of bright colour with a white period in early May largely as a result of the Cow Parsley, this is followed later in the year by a pink period consisting of mainly Willow herbs. Other plants to be observed are common easily recognisable flowers. However there are a great number of plants growing at South Norwood Country Park that are less well-known or harder to spot, and the casual observer would likely be surprised to learn that 363 species of flowering plants have so far been recorded growing in the park though this number includes invasive species and garden escapes. This report is an update of a report made in 2006, and though the site has changed in the intervening years the management and fundamental nature of the park remains the same. Some plants have diminished and some have flourished and the high level of diversity is still present. Many of these plants are important to other wildlife particularly in their relationship to invertebrate pollinators, and some of these important interactions are referenced in this report. With so many species on the plant list there is a restriction on how much information is given for each species, with some particularly rare or previously observed but now absent plants not included though they appear in the index at the back of the report including when they were last observed.

  • Cytotaxonomic Studies of Three Ornamental Aroids
    Available online at www.ilns.pl International Letters of Natural Sciences 13(2) (2014) 105-113 ISSN 2300-9675 Cytotaxonomic studies of three ornamental aroids Emmanuel Jonah Kalu, Anulika Mercy Kanu Abia State Polytechnic, Aba, Nigeria ABSTRACT Cytotaxanomical analysis carried out on three ornamental aroids (Anchomanes difformis, Anchomanes hookeri and Arum maculatum) proved that cytological studies is none negligible tool in phylogeny and scientific classificationns of plants. Aceto-orcein stain squash technique was used in this study. Anchomanes difformis and Anchomanes. hookeri showed more relatedness in chromosome number and chromosome morphology, sharing the same chromosome number 2n=13, while Arum maculatum has 2n=8. The following karyotypes formular were revealed: 2n=8=3M+3SM+2ST in Arum maculatum; 2n=13=5M+1SM+7ST in A. difformis; and 2n=13=3M+6SM+4 A. hookeri. Other karyotype parameters investigated like CI%, AsI and degree of asymmetry of the genomes supported current taxonomic ranking. Keywords: aceto-orcein; Arum maculatum; Anchomanes hookeri; Anchomanes difformis; Karyotype; asymmetry 1. INTRODUCTION Araceae is a group of monocotyledon flowering plants that bear a type of inflorescence called spadix. The spadix is usually enclosed in spathe or leaf-like bracts. The group belongs to the order Alismatales. Members are colloquially called aroid. They are herbaceous and often rhizomatous or tuberous. Arum maculatum is a common woodland plant species, commonly known as arum, Jack in the pulpit, lords and ladies etc. it bears spadix enclosed by pale green spathe. They are monoecious and the female flowers form rings at the base while rings of male flower are at the top of the spadix.

Abstract--Sixteen species belonging to the family Apiaceae were examined for their acceptance as host plants by Trioza apicalis in non-choice tests. The number of eggs laid per day varied from 18 on Daucus carota subsp, sativus to zero on Aegopodium podagraria. In a comparative test, the psyllids landed significantly faster and started egg-laying earlier on carrots (D. carota subsp, sativus) than on dill (Anethum graveolens). In a study of shelter plants for T. apicalis, the psyllids survived on spruce, Picea abies, for more than 30weeks, but they died on grass, Phleum pratense and Brachypodium sylvaticum, within 2 weeks. The length of the day is one of the factors regulating hibernation. At 20°C, light regimes shorter than 17 h induced hibernation, while longer light periods led to reproduction. Both the shelter plants and the summer hosts, including the Apiaceae species, released large amounts of monoterpene hydrocarbons, with great differences among the species.
