Arsenic Tolerance, Accumulation and Elemental Distribution in Twelve Ferns: a Screening Study
AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF ECOTOXICOLOGY Vol. 11, pp. 101-110, 2005 Arsenic tolerance and accumulation in ferns Sridokchan et al ARSENIC TOLERANCE, ACCUMULATION AND ELEMENTAL DISTRIBUTION IN TWELVE FERNS: A SCREENING STUDY Weeraphan Sridokchan1, Scott Markich2 and Pornsawan Visoottiviseth1* 1Department of Biology, Mahidol University, Bangkok 10400, Thailand. 2Aquatic Solutions International, PO Box 3125 Telopea, NSW 2117, Australia. Manuscript received, 15/11/2004; resubmitted, 22/12/2004; accepted, 24/12/2005. ABSTRACT Twelve species of ferns were screened for their ability to tolerate and hyperaccumulate arsenic (As). Ferns were exposed to 50 or 100 mg As L-1 for 7 and 14 days using hydroponic (soil free) experiments. The fronds and roots were analysed for As, selected macronutrients (K, Ca, Mg, P and S) and micronutrients (Al, Fe, Cu and Zn). Five fern species (Asplenium aethiopicum, Asplenium australasicum, Asplenium bulbiferum, Doodia heterophylla and Microlepia strigosa) were found to be sensitive to As. However, only A. australasicum and A. bulbiferum could hyperaccumulate arsenic up to 1240 and 2630 µg As g-1 dry weight (dw), respectively, in their fronds after 7 days at 100 mg As L-1. This is the first known report of ferns that are sensitive to As, yet are As hyperaccumulators. All As tolerant ferns (Adiantum capillus-veneris, Pteris cretica var. albolineata, Pteris cretica var. wimsetti and Pteris umbrosa) were from the Pteridaceae family. P. cretica and P. umbrosa accumulated the majority of As in their fronds (up to 3090 µg As g-1 dw) compared to the roots (up to 760 µg As g-1 dw). In contrast, A. -

Cunninghamia 8(4): 2004 Hunter, Vegetation of Basket Swamp National Park 453 Vegetation of Basket Swamp National Park, Northern Tablelands, New South Wales John T. Hunter School of Human & Environmental Studies, University of New England NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA Email: [email protected] Abstract: The vegetation of Basket Swamp National Park (2820 ha), 30 km north east of Tenterfield (28°54’S, 152°09’E) in the Tenterfield Shire, in the Northern Tablelands Bioregion NSW, is described. Seven vegetation communities are mapped based on survey of plots, subsequent ground-truthing, air photo interpretation and substrate. Communities described are: (1) Eucalyptus campanulata (Blackbutt) – Eucalyptus cameronii (Diehard Stringybark) Open Forests, (2) Eucalyptus campanulata (Blackbutt) – Eucalyptus cameronii (Diehard Stringybark) Grassy Open Forests, (3) Leptospermum trinervium (Tea-tree) – Leptospermum polygalifolium subsp. transmontanum (Creek Tea-tree) Riparian Scrub, (4) Leptospermum trinervium (Tea-tree) – Kunzea obovata (Pink Kunzea) – Leptospermum novae-angliae (New England Tea-tree) Heaths & Shrublands, (5) Ceratopetalum apetalum (Coachwood) – Lophostemon confertus (Brush Box) Closed Forest, (6) Eucalyptus obliqua (Messmate) – Eucalyptus campanulata (Blackbutt) Tall Open Forests, and (7) Baeckea omissa (Baeckea) – Baloskion stenocoleum (Sedge) Heathy Sedgelands. All but two communities (3 & 7) were considered adequately reserved locally, no listed endangered or vulnerable commu- nities were found. Thirty-six taxa were considered to be of conservation significance of which two are listed as vulnerable on Schedule 2 of the NSW TSC Act. A further nine have been reported under the RoTAP criteria. Cunninghamia (2004) 8(4): 453–466 Introduction Basket Swamp National Park is located approximately 30 km north east of Tenterfield and 10 km west of the Mount Lindsay Highway (28°54’S, 152°09’E) (Fig. -
Ecology of Pyrmont Peninsula 1788 - 2008
Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Transformations: Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula 1788 - 2008 John Broadbent Sydney, 2010. Ecology of Pyrmont peninsula iii Executive summary City Council’s ‘Sustainable Sydney 2030’ initiative ‘is a vision for the sustainable development of the City for the next 20 years and beyond’. It has a largely anthropocentric basis, that is ‘viewing and interpreting everything in terms of human experience and values’(Macquarie Dictionary, 2005). The perspective taken here is that Council’s initiative, vital though it is, should be underpinned by an ecocentric ethic to succeed. This latter was defined by Aldo Leopold in 1949, 60 years ago, as ‘a philosophy that recognizes[sic] that the ecosphere, rather than any individual organism[notably humans] is the source and support of all life and as such advises a holistic and eco-centric approach to government, industry, and individual’(http://dictionary.babylon.com). Some relevant considerations are set out in Part 1: General Introduction. In this report, Pyrmont peninsula - that is the communities of Pyrmont and Ultimo – is considered as a microcosm of the City of Sydney, indeed of urban areas globally. An extensive series of early views of the peninsula are presented to help the reader better visualise this place as it was early in European settlement (Part 2: Early views of Pyrmont peninsula). The physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula has been transformed since European settlement, and Part 3: Physical geography of Pyrmont peninsula describes the geology, soils, topography, shoreline and drainage as they would most likely have appeared to the first Europeans to set foot there. -

Setup and manning of display at the SGAP Spring Flower Show at the Auditorium, Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mt Coot-tha Road, Toowong. Sunday 3rd October . Excursion to Buderim Forest Park. We will meet at 9:30am at the end of Harry’s Lane, Buderim. This is the bottom end of Buderim Forest Park. (The park extends along Martin’s Creek for a bit over a km.) We plan to then take some cars to the other (top) end of the park at the end of Quorn Close and walk back to the bottom. There is graded track all the way. The track is steeper at the top end with quite a few steps. The bottom section is effectively flat, with an elevated board walk for quite a few hundred metres from the bottom entrance, so for anyone thinking that the track might be a too steep, an option would be to walk up from the bottom and meet the main party coming from the top. -

Los Helechos De Los Patios Canarios
LOS HELECHOS DE LOS PATIOS CANARIOS José Manuel Sánchez de Lorenzo-Cáceres Ingeniero Técnico Agrícola 1 Los ancestros de nuestros actuales patios hay que buscarlos posiblemente en las culturas sumerias y babilónicas, en las que ya aparecen construcciones rectangulares unidas y dispuestas alrededor de un espacio común que resolvía los problemas de iluminación y de ventilación y por donde se hallaba la salida al exterior. Esta disposición continúa desarrollándose y más tarde, en la cultura griega, encontramos casas de planta rectangular con un patio central ajardinado. Este tipo de construcciones siguió evolucionando con la cultura romana, constituyendo buena prueba de ello muchas de las mansiones sepultadas por las cenizas del Vesuvio en ciudades como Pompeya, algunas de las cuales se han recuperado y se conservan en muy buen estado. En cualquier caso, es probablemente el clima de la región mediterránea, lugar de nacimiento de las primeras culturas, lo que propicia el nacimiento del patio, que evoluciona a través de las sucesivas culturas griega, romana y árabe. En Canarias, donde el clima es benigno todo el año, el patio central tiene gran importancia en la casa tradicional, estando a menudo rodeado por pórticos donde las clásicas columnas y las arquerías han sido sustituidas por pies derechos y vigas de madera de pino canario (Pinus canariensis), siempre presente, con sus tonalidades rojizas, en las construcciones tradicionales. Los patios son lugares a menudo bastante sombreados y con reducidas dimensiones, características éstas que limitan el uso de ciertas plantas y favorecen, en cambio, el empleo de otras. En los patios alcanzan su esplendor, de una forma especial, las denominadas plantas de maceta, proliferando una enorme variedad de anuales, vivaces, bulbosas y helechos, muchas de las cuales van pasando de vecino en vecino por medio de su reproducción vegetativa, siendo, a veces, dificiles de encontrar en los viveros comerciales. -

Convergent Evolution of Fern-Specific Mitochondrial
GBE Convergent Evolution of Fern-Specific Mitochondrial Group II Intron atp1i361g2 and Its Ancient Source Paralogue rps3i249g2 and Independent Losses of Intron and RNA Editing among Pteridaceae Simon Maria Zumkeller, Volker Knoop*, and Nils Knie Abteilung Molekulare Evolution, IZMB—Institut Fu¨r Zellula¨re Und Molekulare Botanik, Universita¨t Bonn, Kirschallee 1, D-53115 Bonn, Germany *Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected]. Accepted: July 21, 2016 Data deposition: All sequences generated in this study have been deposited in GenBank under accession numbers KU744738-KU744838 and KU756282. Abstract Mitochondrial intron patterns are highly divergent between the major land plant clades. An intron in the atp1 gene, atp1i361g2, is an example for a group II intron specific to monilophytes (ferns). Here, we report that atp1i361g2 is lost independently at least 4 times in the fern family Pteridaceae. Such plant organelle intron losses have previously been found to be accompanied by loss of RNA editing sites in the flanking exon regions as a consequence of genomic recombination of mature cDNA. Instead, we now observe that RNA editing events in both directions of pyrimidine exchange (C-to-U and U-to-C) are retained in atp1 exons after loss of the intron in Pteris argyraea/biaurita and in Actiniopteris and Onychium. We find that atp1i361g2 has significant similarity with intron rps3i249g2 present in lycophytes and gymnosperms, which we now also find highly conserved in ferns. We conclude that atp1i361g2 may have originated from the more ancestral rps3i249g2 paralogue by a reverse splicing copy event early in the evolution of monilophytes. Secondary structure elements of the two introns, most characteristically their domains III, show strikingly convergent evolution in the monilophytes. -
