This study was focused on H biotechnological production tools of R. stricta, namely undifferentiated cell cultures, and an Agrobacterium rhizogenes- mediated transformation method to obtain hairy roots expressing heterologous genes from the early TIA pathway. Rha zya alkaloids comprise a wide range of structures and polarities, therefore, many A analytical methods were developed to investigate the alkaloid l k contents in in vitro cultures. Targeted and non-targeted analyses a l o were carried out using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry i d (GC-MS), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultra s o performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC- f i MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. n Calli derived from stems contained elevated levels of v i t r strictosidine lactam compared to other in vitro cultures. It o was revealed that only leaves were susceptible to Agrobacterium c u infection and subsequent root induction. The transformation l t u efficiency varied from 22% to 83% depending on the gene.

Hernández, Mario Sousa and Helga Ochoterena Herbario Nacional de México, Departamento de Botánica, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Apartado postal 70- 233, 04510 México D. F., Mexico. [email protected] Abstract. Trees or tree-like plants are defined here broadly as perennial, self-supporting plants with a total height of at least 5 m (without ascending leaves or inflorescences), and with one or several erect stems with a diameter of at least 10 cm. We continue our compilation of an updated list of all native Mexican tree species with the dicotyledonous families Asteraceae (36 species, 39% endemic), Leguminosae with its 3 subfamilies (449 species, 41% endemic), and Rubiaceae (134 species, 24% endemic). The tallest tree species reach 20 m in the Asteraceae, 70 m in the Leguminosae, and also 70 m in the Rubiaceae. The species-richest genus is Lonchocarpus with 67 tree species in Mexico. Three legume genera are endemic to Mexico (Conzattia, Hesperothamnus, and Heteroflorum). The appendix lists all species, including their original publication, references of taxonomic revisions, existence of subspecies or varieties, maximum height in Mexico, and endemism status. Key words: biodiversity, flora, tree definition. Resumen. Las plantas arbóreas o arborescentes se definen aquí en un sentido amplio como plantas perennes que se pueden sostener por sí solas, con una altura total de al menos 5 m (sin considerar hojas o inflorescencias ascendentes) y con uno o varios tallos erectos de un diámetro de al menos 10 cm.

Powers, Advisor June 2019 © Christina Marie Smith, June 2019 All rights reserved. Acknowledgements First and foremost, I thank my advisor, Dr. Jennifer Powers, for her outstanding guidance, patience, and support throughout this whole process. Jennifer’s passion for understanding how tropical dry forests function is inspiring and motivated me to conduct the research in this dissertation. I will always be incredibly grateful for the countless steps Jennifer has taken to aid my development as a scientist and I could not have wished for a better advisor. I also thank, Dr. Tim Brodribb and Dr. Stefan Schnitzer, who at times served as my honorary advisors, for their advice and help. My present committee members Dr. Rebecca Montgomery, Dr. Jeannine Cavender-Bares, and Dr. Walid Sadok, and past members, Dr. David Moeller, and Dr. Peter Kennedy have provided support and helpful feedback over the years. I am thankful for many past and present members of the Powers’ lab.

Wood density variation in Neotropical forests Page 2 24 Abstract 25 Wood density is a crucial variable in carbon accounting programs of both secondary and old- 26 growth tropical forests. It also is the best single descriptor of wood: it correlates with 27 numerous morphological, mechanical, physiological, and ecological properties. To explore 28 the extent to which wood density could be estimated for rare or poorly censused taxa, and 29 possible sources of variation in this trait, we analysed regional, taxonomic, and phylogenetic 30 variation in wood density among 2,456 tree species from Central and South America.

  • Evolution and Pollination of New Zealand Myosotis

The sister group to the southern species appears to be the discolor-group of eastern Africa and western Europe. It is postulated that the genus has an long history in New Zealand and is not the result of recent immigration from the northern hemisphere. In New Zealand, extensive speciation has occurred. Approximately 47 species are recognised. Radiation has proceeded in several different directions with respect to floral form. Several floral syndromes are recognised including tube-, funnel- and brush-blossoms. Some species have tended towards autogamy with a reduction in herkogamy, dichogamy, pollen:ovule ratio and petal size.

  • Floristic Survey of Flowering Plants in a Tropical Coastal Ecosystem in Veracruz, Mexico
    Botanical Sciences 94 (1): 185-197, 2016 TAXONOMY AND FLORISTIC DOI: 10.17129/botsci.272 FLORISTIC SURVEY OF FLOWERING PLANTS IN A TROPICAL COASTAL ECOSYSTEM IN VERACRUZ, MEXICO CRISTIAN ADRIAN MARTÍNEZ-ADRIANO, ARMANDO AGUIRRE-JAIMES1 AND CECILIA DÍAZ-CASTELAZO Red de Interacciones Multitróficas, Instituto de Ecología A.C. Xalapa. Veracruz, México 1Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: Mexico is a megadiverse country and Veracruz is one of the states with the highest foristic diversity. The reserve of La Mancha in central coastal Veracruz comprises several vegetation types. In this site we conducted for a year, monthly surveys of fowering or fruiting plants in six vegetation types, considering the frequency of occurrence of different species. We found a total of 147 species (131 genera and 63 families). The families most represented were Asteraceae, Fabaceae and Verbenaceae. In addi- tion, we found nine species that had not been reported in previous foristic studies. The highest taxonomic richness was observed in the tropical deciduous food forest with wetland (59 species), while the highest diversity was found in tropical deciduous forest (SDI = 0.9562). We also found that the most similar vegetation types based on the composition and frequency of species were, coastal dune scrub, tropical deciduous forest and pioneer dune vegetation. The dominant plant biological form in La Mancha were herbs (40.41 %) followed by shrubs (23.97 %), vines-lianas (18.49 %) and trees (17.12 %). This study is the frst to consider the frequency-occurrence of fowering and fruiting plants in La Mancha, covering six vegetation types through one year. The more relevant results of this study show the diversity of plants in different environments using the frequency of each species based on reproductive events.

  • Species Richness and Composition During Sylvigenesis in a Tropical Dry Forest in Northwestern Costa Rica
    HEINRICH & HURKA 43 Tropical Ecology 45(1): 43-57, 2004 ISSN 0564-3295 © International Society for Tropical Ecology Species richness and composition during sylvigenesis in a tropical dry forest in northwestern Costa Rica ANDREAS HEINRICH & HERBERT HURKA University of Osnabrueck, FB 5 Biology, Spez. Bot. 49069 Osnabrueck, Germany Abstract: Plant species diversity and composition of life form categories were recorded in a tropical dry forest in northwestern Costa Rica. Nine pairs of spatially separated plots were described representing each of different ages of secondary regeneration ranging from recently cleared and burned to more than 50 years of regrowth. All vascular plants species encountered were recorded during 30 months. The results document great changes in species diversity and composition of plant form categories during sylvigenesis. 328 plant species in 79 families and 247 genera of grasses, herbs, shrubs, lianas and trees were encountered. Species richness was greatest after 15 years and decreased significantly in older plots. The number of non-woody species was highest after three years of succession. Minimum of woody plant species was after one year and increased significantly after five years. Maximum was in the 15 years plots with a slight decrease in older forests. Resumen: Se registró la diversidad de especies de plantas y la composición de categorías de formas de vida en un bosque tropical seco del noroeste de Costa Rica. Se describieron nueve pares de parcelas separadas espacialmente que representan diferentes edades en la regeneración secundaria, desde algunas recientemente tumbadas y quemadas hasta otras con crecimiento secundario de más de 50 años. Todas las especies de plantas vasculares que se encontraron fueron registradas durante 30 meses.
