Almost ten years have passed since I flew to Ecuador for the first time. Fortunately I did not spend all that time on this project. The study started as a very exciting job (a Latin American project!), making an inventory of edible non-crop plants for and with CATER. The focus of the project was on development and co-operation. Working with local researchers was essential for me, and Eduardo Cueva and Omar Cabrera proved to be the best colleagues I could have wished for. Jointly doing all fieldwork, plant identifications and research, and providing training opportunities was crucial. Together we produced a field guide of wild edible plants of southern Ecuador. Only towards the end of the project did I decide to turn the “long list of plants” into a PhD project. The management aspect of plants had always intrigued me. So after three years, I stayed on another 6 months collecting more data on plant management. Then the plan was to analyse all data and write it all up. But, that got interrupted by a move to Scotland, and the birth of Joachim, and then Kaitlin and … priorities shifted. The PhD was abandoned and I got involved in Scottish ethnobotany and kids. But the long plant list and six notebooks full of scribbles on plants kept haunting me. So eventually, I picked up all data again, sat down at my desk in the yellow room in Scotland and started the long process of analysing, more analysing, and writing. Interrupted by baby noises in the background, baby hands flicking though books, kids drawing on books

  • Karyotype and Genome Size Determination of Jarilla Chocola, an Additional Sister Clade of Carica Papaya
    POJ 14(01):50-56 (2021) ISSN:1836-3644 doi: 10.21475/POJ.14.01.21.p2944 Karyotype and genome size determination of Jarilla chocola, an additional sister clade of Carica papaya Dessireé Patricia Zerpa-Catanho1, Tahira Jatt2, Ray Ming1* 1Department of Plant Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801, USA 2Department of Botany, Shah Abdul Latif University, Khaipur, Sindh, 66020, Pakistan *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Jarilla chocola is an herbaceous plant species that belongs to the Jarilla genus and the Caricaceae family. No information on chromosome number or genome size has been reported for J. chocola that confirms the occurrence of dysploidy events and explore the existence of heteromorphic sex chromosomes. Therefore, the total number of chromosomes of this species was determined by karyotyping and counting the number of chromosomes observed, and the genome size of female and male plants was estimated separately by flow cytometry. Results showed that J. chocola has eight pairs of chromosomes (2n = 2x = 16), and its chromosomes are classified as metacentric for five pairs, submetacentric for two pairs and telocentric for one pair. The nuclear DNA content (1C- value) in picograms and diploid genome size was estimated separately from female and male plants using two species as the standards, Phaseolus vulgaris (1C = 0.60 pg) and Carica papaya (1C = 0.325 pg), to look for the possible existence of heteromorphic sex chromosomes. C. papaya proved to be a better standard for the determination of J. chocola DNA content and diploid genome size. No significant difference on the DNA content was observed between female (1C = 1.02 ± 0.003 pg) and male (1C = 1.02 ± 0.008 pg) plants.

  • Diversity and Endemism of Woody Plant Species in the Equatorial Pacific Seasonally Dry Forests
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Springer - Publisher Connector Biodivers Conserv (2010) 19:169–185 DOI 10.1007/s10531-009-9713-4 ORIGINAL PAPER Diversity and endemism of woody plant species in the Equatorial Pacific seasonally dry forests Reynaldo Linares-Palomino Æ Lars Peter Kvist Æ Zhofre Aguirre-Mendoza Æ Carlos Gonzales-Inca Received: 7 October 2008 / Accepted: 10 August 2009 / Published online: 16 September 2009 Ó The Author(s) 2009. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract The biodiversity hotspot of the Equatorial Pacific region in western Ecuador and northwestern Peru comprises the most extensive seasonally dry forest formations west of the Andes. Based on a recently assembled checklist of the woody plants occurring in this region, we analysed their geographical and altitudinal distribution patterns. The montane seasonally dry forest region (at an altitude between 1,000 and 1,100 m, and the smallest in terms of area) was outstanding in terms of total species richness and number of endemics. The extensive seasonally dry forest formations in the Ecuadorean and Peruvian lowlands and hills (i.e., forests below 500 m altitude) were comparatively much more species poor. It is remarkable though, that there were so many fewer collections in the Peruvian departments and Ecuadorean provinces with substantial mountainous areas, such as Ca- jamarca and Loja, respectively, indicating that these places have a potentially higher number of species. We estimate that some form of protected area (at country, state or private level) is currently conserving only 5% of the approximately 55,000 km2 of remaining SDF in the region, and many of these areas protect vegetation at altitudes below 500 m altitude.

  • Pollen of Ceratostema (Ericaceae, Vaccinieae) : Tetrads Without Septa
    Title Pollen of Ceratostema (Ericaceae, Vaccinieae) : tetrads without septa Author(s) Sarwar, A. K. M.

The Ceratostema species examined have 3-colporate pollen grains united in permanent tetrahedral tetrads that show a common condition encountered in the Ericaceae. But the septal exine was absent between two neighboring grains in each pollen tetrad of Ceratostema. The pollen tetrads without septa are the first report for the Ericaceae as well as other angiosperm families. Key words Ceratostema, pollen morphology, tetrad without septum Introduction Ceratostema Jussieu (Ericaceae: Vaccinioideae, Vaccinieae) is a genus composed of about 33 species of Neotropical blueberries, ranging from southern Colombia to northern Peru, with a disjunct species in Guyana (Lutyen 2002). Previously, pollen morphology of two Ceratostema species has been studied under only the scanning electron microscope (Lutyen 1978; Maguire et al. 1978), and was described as having tetrahedral tetrads, with viscin threads absent. The tetrad diameter for one species; C. glandulifera, was 22 – 23 µm, with an exine sculpture that was microverrucate to microrugulate with aperture margins and distal poles somewhat psilate.

  • A Comparative Survey of Genetic Diversity Among a Set of Caricaceae
    Sengupta et al. SpringerPlus 2013, 2:345 http://www.springerplus.com/content/2/1/345 a SpringerOpen Journal RESEARCH Open Access A comparative survey of genetic diversity among a set of Caricaceae accessions using microsatellite markers Samik Sengupta2, Basabdatta Das1, Manoj Prasad3, Pinaki Acharyya2 and Tapas Kumar Ghose1* Abstract A preliminary survey of genetic diversity among 34 commercially popular Carica papaya cultivars from India and abroad, 6 accessions of Vasconcellea species and 1 accession of Jacaratia spinosa, was done using 20 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. The SSR profiles were used to find out total number of alleles, null and rare alleles, Polymorphism Information Content (PIC) values and to calculate similarity matrix using Jaccard’s coefficient. The subsequent dendrogram was made by unweighted pair-group method of arithmetic average (UPGMA) and neighbor-joining method. Based on these parameters a comparison was made between the Indian papaya cultivars and the rest of the accessions. All the markers showed polymorphism and a total of 140 alleles were identified. The average number of alleles was 7 alleles/locus. Categorically the Vasconcellea and Jacaratia species had 54 alleles, the 7 non-Indian Carica papaya accessions had 70 and the 27 Indian accessions had 102 alleles. The average PIC value was 0.735 per marker. A total of 37 rare alleles were identified. Jacaratia spinosa had 17 rare alleles. Nineteen null alleles were detected among the Carica papaya accessions. A Carica papaya accession from South Africa, Hortus Gold had 5 null alleles. The genetic similarity among the accessions ranged from 7% to 67%. In the dendrogram, the Vasconcellea and Jacaratia spinosa accessions separated as a distinct cluster from the rest of the Carica papaya accessions.
