Distribution of Charophytes from Iran with Three New Records of Characeae (Charales, Chlorophyta) Cryptogamie, Algologie, 2015, 36 (4): 389-405 © 2015 Adac. Tous droits réservés Distribution of Charophytes from Iran with three new records of Characeae (Charales, Chlorophyta) Fariba NOEDOOST, Hossein RIAHI, Masoud SHEIDAI & Akram AHMADI* Faculty of Biological Sciences, Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Iran Abstract – The Charales, commonly known as stoneworts, are a group of highly complex green algae that comprise one extant family (Characeae) with six genera. The aim of this study was to collect Charophytes in eastern and north of Iran and check the distribution maps of species in Iran. Samples were collected from 103 localities and 7 species have been determined with Chara braunii Gm., Chara globata Mig. and Lamprothamnium papulosum (Wallr.) J. Gr. recorded for the first time in Iran. Although Chara vulgaris and Chara gymnophylla were reported as widespread in north and eastern Iran, specimens of Chara vulgaris were collected in a wide variety of habitats from most of the provinces rendering this taxa the most abundant Charophytes in Iran (88 populations). Other species were restricted to few locations: Chara braunii, a cosmopolitan species, was limited to two locations in north Iran. Chara globata was found in a single location (Targhrud Lake). Most specimens of Chara contraria and Chara connivens were collected from South West Iran (260-350 m elevation). Lamprothamnium papulosum, a rather uncommon species in Asia, was found in a single lake with marine water characteristics in northeast Iran. Charophytes / Characeae / Chara / Lamprothamnium / Taxonomy / Distribution INTRODUCTION The Characeae, commonly known as stoneworts, are a large group of macrophytic green algae that live submerged in slow running and standing waters. Characeae most often occur in freshwater but they can tolerate hyper saline conditions (García & Chivas, 2006) over muddy and sandy substrate (Krause, 1997). Characeae spread rhizoids through the sediments and are able to form widespread monospecific underwater meadows in a wide diversity of habitats (Stewart & Church, 1992; Fritsch, 1935). The organization of the plant and life cycle of the Characeae are distinctive (Dangeard, 1933) differing in their complexity from other green algae (Wood & Imahori, 1965). The Characeae are oogamous, have motile sperm cells, and possess sterile cells surrounding their antheridial filaments and their oogonia (Bold & Wynne, 1985). There are six extant genera organized in tribe Chareae (Chara, Lamprothamnium, Lychnothamnus, Nitellopsis) and tribe Nitelleae (Nitella, Tolypella) (Wood & Imahori, 1965). Chara and Nitella encompass the majority of species in the family while the other genera comprise a few (Lamprothamnium and Tolypella) or a single species (Lychnothamnus and Nitellopsis). This classification was based on morphological characters (Wood & Imahori, 1965). The species and infraspecific * Corresponding author: [email protected] doi/10.7872/crya/v36.iss4.2015.389 390 F. Noedoost et al. concepts have been determined on the basis of vegetative morphology and characteristic of the oospore wall ornamentations (Leitch et al., 1990). However, because of a large amount of variations in wall ornamentation and differences in developmental characteristics, using the oospore as the sole taxonomic criterion for separating species is in some cases very speculative. Additionally, despite numerous studies that have documented the differences between oospores of recognized taxa within the genus Chara, variations within and among populations of the same species are still not well documented (Soulié-Marschë 1989; John et al., 1990; Leitch et al., 1990; Ray et al., 2001). The taxonomic value of oospore characters depends upon their morphological constancy within species. The advantage of using oospore wall ornamentation is apparently this character less affected by environmental factors than the previously mentioned ones (Proctor, 1975). Our study confirms the previously published ornamentation patterns for Iranian species (Ahmadi et al., 2012 c), and adds new findings on C. globata that have not been documented before by SEM. The most recent report from the western and central part of Iran has been published by Ahmadi et al. (2012 a, b) who recorded eighty localities for eighty two populations ascribed 13 species belonging to three genera. In the present study, we investigated one hundred and three localities in eastern and northern Iran for the presence of charophytes and report our observations providing illustrations, vegetative and oospore characteristics of collected taxa and discuss distribution of Iranian charophytes. Diagnostic features Species of Lamprothamnium in the family Characeae are remarkably tolerant to salinity, living in brackish, saline and hyper saline aquatic habitats (Wood & Imahori, 1965; García & Chivas, 2004, 2006). All members of the genus Lamprothamnium are characterized by ecorticate internodes and branchlets (similar to C. braunii), but differ by the presence of downward pointing stipulodes, placed directly below each branchlet whorls and verticillate bract cells inserted at angles of 45-90° to the axis of branchlet (Groves, 1916). The shoots of species of Lamprothamnium often have a dense “fox-tail” appearance because the upper internodes are short and the branchlets, stipulodes and bract cells overlap. Many species produce a calcified casing on the oospore and frequently develop distinctive, spherical white bulbils at the rhizoid filament (Fritsch, 1935). These bulbils are full of starch grains, and allow species to persist when it is unable to photosynthesize, and they regenerate when the vegetative axis is uprooted or destroyed (Schmieder et al., 2006). Most of the species of Chara occuring in the Northern Hemisphere have internodes covered by a cortex of smaller, linearly aligned cells (Krause, 1997). MATERIALS AND METHODS Samples were collected from 103 localities (April to September 2012 and 2013) from north and eastern of Iran and 125 populations identified within 7 species were recognized (details of localities are given in Table 1). The specimens were collected by hand and with the help of a grapnel at various depth. Morphological Distribution of Charophytes from Iran 391 observations were carried on dried samples as herbarium specimens. Dried specimens were examined under 10×, 20× and 30× with a stereomicroscope. The voucher specimens are kept in the herbarium of Shahid Beheshti University (HSBU) Tehran and the voucher numbers are given in Table 1. The identification of specimens was done by using descriptions provided by Wood and Imahori (1964, 1965), Migula (1897) and Caisova and Gabka (2009). Measurement of oospores: The oospores of species were examined on fifteen individuals sampled randomly and the spiral cells were taken off and removed. The oospore characteristics (length, width, number of striae and fossa-breath) were measured under a stereomicroscope at magnification 400× (Mandal et al., 2008). The oospores were treated using the method of Urbaniak (2011) for the preparation of oospore for light microscope or SEM investigation. Acetolized cleaned oospores were mounted on stubs having double-sided adhesive tape. The oospores were coated with gold-palladium by a sputter-coater and observed with a KYKY-EM3200 SEM. Microphotographs were taken at different magnifications. Table 1.

Medit. 22: 25-32. 2012. — ISSN: 1120-4052 printed, 2240-4538 online. In this article charophytes are reported from the island of Crete, the largest island in Greece. On 9 visited localities, charophytes have been found in six. All localities, except one (loc. 6) are freshwater. Totally six different species were found: Chara aspera, C. connivens, C. corfuen- sis, C. vulgaris, Nitella hyalina and N. tenuissima. The most interesting locality is Lake Kournas which is an eutrophic Chara-lake with rich vegetation of four species: Chara cor- fuensis, C. aspera and the two species of Nitella. Key words: Crete, Greece, Chara aspera, C. connivens, C. corfuensis, C. vulgaris, Nitella hyali- na, N. tenuissima. Introduction The island of Crete is the largest island in Greece and is situated in the southernmost part of the country. I visited several water bodies, lakes, reservoirs and seasonally wet meadows. The localities are listed in Table 1, and of nine, charophytes were found in six. Charophytes have earlier been reported from Crete in several works e.g. Corillion (1957), Koumpli-Sovantzi (1997), Bergmeister & Abrahamczyk (2008). Materials and methods This work is based on material collected in Crete (Greece) in the given localities in 2010 (Fig. 1). The specific conductivity of the water was measured with a Milwaukee, SM 301 EC meter, range 0-1990 µm/cm.

  • Rediscovery of the Endemic Species Chara Rohlenae Vilh. 1912 (Characeae) - Believed Extinct - on the Balkan Peninsula
    42 (1): (2018) 109-115 Original Scientific Paper Rediscovery of the endemic species Chara rohlenae Vilh. 1912 (Characeae) - believed extinct - on the Balkan Peninsula Jelena Blaženčić✳ and Branka Stevanović University of Belgrade, Faculty of Biology, Institute of Botany and Botanical Garden „Jevremovac“, Takovska 43, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia ABSTRACT: The species Chara rohlenae was described more than a hundred years ago (in 1912) as a species new to science on the basis of herbarium specimens collected from the Mratinje locality in Montenegro. In addition, there were some other herbarium specimens of this charophyte originating from Greece (collected in 1885) and also ones from Bosnia and Herzegovina (collected in 1925), which, however, were taxonomically determined in different ways and not clearly identified as belonging to the species C. rohlenae. For such a long period of time thereafter, no new data on the presence of the given species in the Balkans were recorded, and for this reason the species was considered to be extinct (EX glob ?) in accordance with IUCN criteria. However, during botanical surveys conducted in 2010 and 2012, C. rohlenae was re- discovered on the Balkan Peninsula, in the Mokra Gora Mountain (a spur of the Prokletije massif) in Serbia. This finding confirms existence of the species in the wild. Morphological characteristics of the newly found specimens of C. rohlenae from Serbia are investigated in the present study.

Microfossil dataindicate that Mid ^Late Ordovicianland plants possessed such alifecycle, and that the originof alternationof generationspreceded this date.Molecular phylogenetic data unambiguously relate charophyceangreen algae to the ancestryof monophyletic embryophytes, and identify bryophytes as early-divergentland plants. Comparison of reproduction in charophyceans and bryophytes suggests that the followingstages occurredduring evolutionary origin of embryophytic alternation of generations: (i) originof oogamy;(ii) retention ofeggsand zygotes on the parentalthallus; (iii) originof matrotrophy (regulatedtransfer ofnutritional and morphogenetic solutes fromparental cells tothe nextgeneration); (iv)origin of a multicellularsporophyte generation ;and(v) origin of non-£ agellate, walled spores. Oogamy,egg/zygoteretention andmatrotrophy characterize at least some moderncharophyceans, and arepostulated to represent pre-adaptativefeatures inherited byembryophytes from ancestral charophyceans.Matrotrophy is hypothesizedto have preceded originof the multicellularsporophytes of plants,and to represent acritical innovation.Molecular

Medit. 20: 149-157. 2010. — ISSN 1120-4052. In this article charophytes are reported from the island of Evia, the second largest island in Greece. On 14 investigated localities, charophytes have been found in 11 of them. All locali- ties, except one (loc. 2) are freshwater. The most common species is Chara vulgaris, which has been found in five localities, of which the waterfalls north of Dhrimona is the most interesting and where the alga has optimal conditions. The two species C. connivens and C. globularis were found in the highly eutrophic alkaline lake Dhistou. In north and west of Prokopi there are several lakes in an old mining area. In the two northern of these C. kokeilii, a rare species in Europe, was found. In the western lakes only C. canescens was found. As these lakes are fresh- water, they are unusual places to find C. canescens. Key words: Evia, Greece, Chara vulgaris, C. kokeilii, C. globularis, C. connivens, C. canescens. Introduction The island of Evia is situated close to the mainland in the Aegian Sea, and is the second largest after Crete.

Research Article CHARACTERIZATION OF ELEMENTAL AND BIOMOLECULAR COMPOSITION OF CHARA ZEYLANICA *Krubha D.N.1, Dhurgadevi S.1, Banu Priya S.1 and Thirumarimurugan M.1 and Pragasa Nithyavathy C.2 1Department of Chemical Engineering, Coimbatore Institute of Technology 2Department of Botany, Women’s Christian College, Nagercoil *Author for Correspondence ABSTRACT Chara zeylanica Willdenow is an aquatic alga which forms Chara forest in favourable freshwater environments. If harvested periodically that would save the aquatic environment for further recharge. It can be used as such or in dried or processed form for socioeconomic benefits. Analytical search has revealed the presence of phytochemicals in significant quantities. Phosphorus and potassium contents were observed in significant levels in the plant material and reported as 757.56ppm and 134.67ppm respectively. Other elements found in appreciable levels were sodium 755.6ppm, calcium 356.7ppm, magnesium 89.9ppm, manganese 34.45ppm, zinc 34.3ppm and copper 13.4ppm. The vital biomolecules reported were amino acid 18.5mg/gm, protein 253.66mg/gm, carbohydrate 23.22mg/gm and lipid 66mg/gm. Key Words: Chara Zeylanica; Chara Forest; Analytical Search; Phytochemicals INTRODUCTION Efforts have been made in different countries to find uses of algae as food, feed, medicine or fertilizers (Nicol, 1992). High inorganic elemental composition of a mixture of freshwater algae has been reported (Ahmed et al., 1992). Chara zeylanica Willdenow is a freshwater Macroalga which flourishes well in the coastal line freshwater water bodies of Kanyakumari District and their basis for phytochemicals and their bio-manure and pesticide and insecticide potential have not been systematically evaluated.

Barinova2 1Central Siberian Botanical Garden of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Zolotodolinskaja Str., 101, Novosibirsk, 630090, Russia, e-mail: [email protected] 2Institute of Evolution, University of Haifa, Mount Carmel, Haifa, 31905, Israel Abstract: The historical and contemporary species richness, distribution, and ecology of Israel charophytes are described. The first charophyte collection in this region was made in the 19th century. Almost all reported localities were found earlier than 1970; some of them were not described. At the end of the 20th century, only two localities of two species were reported. According to the literature, 13 species, including two undetermined species of Chara, and nearly 23 exact localities are known from Northern and Central Israel. We found seven species and one variety of charophytes in 23 new localities in eight river drainage basins from six ecological regions of Israel during the period extending from 2001-2011. One genus ñ Tolypella, and two species ñ Chara intermedia and Tolypella glomerata, were found for the first time in Israel. There are 15 species and four genera of charophytes known from the studied territory based on published and original data. The common habitats of charophytes in Israel are river channels, pools, and, especially, artificial water bodies. The Chara vulgaris var. longibracteata, C. gymnophylla and C. contraria are the most frequently encountered species.

Here we present a Accepted 11 February 2018 multi-proxy sinkhole lake reconstruction from a carbonate island that is proximal to the NASH (Abaco Island, The Bahamas). The reconstruction indicates the northern Bahamas experienced a drought from ~3300 to ~2500 Cal yrs BP, which coincides with evidence from other hydroclimate and oceanographic records (e.g., Africa, Caribbean, and South America) for a synchronous southern displacement of the Intertropical Convergence Zone and North Atlantic Hadley Cell.
