EDERf •Department of Botany, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045-2106; and t Department of Biological Sciences, Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, Illinois 62026-1651 The relationship between leaf anatomy, specifically the percent of leaf volume occupied by water- storage parenchyma (hydrenchyma), and the contribution of respiratory C02 during Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) was investigated in 12 epiphytic species of Tillandsia. It has been postulated that the hydrenchyma, which contributes to C02 exchange through respiration only, may be causally related to the recently observed phenomenon of C02 recycling during CAM. Among the 12 species of Tillandsia, leaves of T. usneoides and T. bergeri exhibited 0% hydrenchyma, while the hydrenchyma in the other species ranged from 2.9% to 53% of leaf cross-sectional area. Diurnal malate fluctuation and nighttime atmospheric C02 uptake were measured in at least four individuals of each species. A significant excess of diurnal malate fluctuation as compared with atmospheric C02 absorbed overnight was observed only in T. schiedeana. This species had an intermediate proportion (30%) of hydrenchyma in its leaves. Results of this study do not support the hypothesis that C02 recycling during CAM may reflect respiratory contributions of C02 from the tissue hydrenchyma.

  • Ball Moss Tillandsia Recurvata
    Ball Moss Tillandsia recurvata Like Spanish moss, ball moss is an epiphyte and belongs to family Bromeliaceae. Ball moss [Tillandsia recurvata (L.) L], or an air plant, is not a true moss but rather is a small flowering plant. It is neither a pathogen nor a parasite. During the past couple of years, ball moss has increas- ingly been colonizing trees and shrubs, including oaks, pines, magnolias, crape myrtles, Bradford pears and others, on the Louisiana State University campus and surrounding areas in Baton Rouge. In addition to trees and shrubs, ball moss can attach itself to fences, electric poles and other physical structures with the help of pseudo-roots. Ball moss uses trees or plants as surfaces to grow on but does not derive any nutrients or water from them. Ball moss is a true plant and can prepare its own food by using water vapors and nutrient from the environment. Extending from Georgia to Arizona and Mexico, ball moss thrives in high humidity and low intensity sunlight environments. Unlike loose, fibrous Spanish moss, ball moss grows in a compact shape of a ball ranging in size from a Figure 1. Young ball moss plant. golf ball to a soccer ball. Ball moss leaves are narrow and grayish-green, with pointed tips that curve outward from the center of the ball. It gets its mosslike appearance from the trichomes present on the leaves. Blue to violet flowers emerge on long central stems during spring. Ball moss spreads to new locations both through wind-dispersed seeds and movement of small vegetative parts of the plant.

Troxell (DT) Support from the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Ian Anderson’s Caves Branch Jungle Lodge, Environmental Resource Institute - University of Belize [fieldguides.fieldmuseum.org] [964] version 1 11/2017 The genus Tillandsia in Belize includes approximately 30 species, which can be found growing singly, or in large colonies, and can usually be identified by their non-spiny leaves, often flattened inflorescence branches, symmetrical sepals, free petals, and often colorful flower clusters which fade quickly after flowering. They are most always epiphytic growing on trees and shrubs to gain better access to sunlight; an occasional species is found on rocks or on the ground (e.g., T. dasyliriifolia). Many have gray/silvery, scaly leaves (e.g., T. pruinosa, T. streptophylla). The scales (or “trichomes”) help capture water and nutrients from the environment. Some spe- cies form water-holding tanks by means of their overlapping leaves. These tanks are rich with nutrients from the environment, provide sustenance for the plant, and create important habitat for animals in the forest canopy. The genus is found throughout Belize, but reaches its peak of species diversity on the high summits of the Maya Mountains.

DCorresponding author. Email: [email protected] This paper is part of an ongoing series: ‘The Evolution of Plant Functions’. Abstract. Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a specialised mode of photosynthesis that improves atmospheric CO2 assimilation in water-limited terrestrial and epiphytic habitats and in CO2-limited aquatic environments. In contrast with C3 and C4 plants, CAM plants take up CO2 from the atmosphere partially or predominantly at night. CAM is taxonomically widespread among vascular plants andis present inmanysucculent species that occupy semiarid regions, as well as intropical epiphytes and in some aquatic macrophytes. This water-conserving photosynthetic pathway has evolved multiple times and is found in close to 6% of vascular plant species from at least 35 families. Although many aspects of CAM molecular biology, biochemistry and ecophysiology are well understood, relatively little is known about the evolutionary origins of CAM. This review focuses on five main topics: (1) the permutations and plasticity of CAM, (2) the requirements for CAM evolution, (3) the drivers of CAM evolution, (4) the prevalence and taxonomic distribution of CAM among vascular plants with emphasis on the Orchidaceae and (5) the molecular underpinnings of CAM evolution including circadian clock regulation of gene expression.

Weaver, Jr., Ph.D., and Patti J. Anderson, Ph.D. For this period, 89 specimens were submitted to the Botany Section for identification, and 1,062 were received from other sections for identification/name verification for a total of 1,151. In addition, seven specimens were added to the herbarium. Some of the samples received for identification are discussed below: Acer buergerianum Miq. (a genus of ca. 110 species of highly ornamental trees, widely distributed in the North Temperate Zone with a marked concentration in eastern Asia). Aceraceae (or Sapindaceae). Trident maple. This slow-growing, small to medium-sized tree is native to eastern China, but has long been cultivated in Japan and is sometimes erroneously reported to be native there. It grows to 10 m tall, often branching low to the ground and forming a rounded crown. The bark on mature trunks is scaly and mottled with shades of pale gray and brown, the scales sloughing off to reveal tints of orange. The leaves are distinctive, described as resembling a duck’s feet. The blades are 4-6 cm long, glossy dark green above, three-nerved from the base and divided above the middle into three nearly equal, entire or unevenly serrulate, long- pointed lobes. The inconspicuous, greenish flowers appear with the leaves in the spring. The fruits are the “keys” typical of maples, with two samaras arranged end-to-end, each Acer buergerianum 2-3 cm long.

ALARCÓN-AGUILAR - E-mail address: [email protected] Abstract: Tillandsia L. genus comprises 649 species, with different uses at different times. T. usneoides L. uses are reported since the late- archaic and pre-Columbian cultures. In XIX-XX centuries, T. usneoides was used in some manufactured products, as polish and packing fruit. Tillandsia has a favorable reputation as medicine: for leucorrhea, rheumatism, ulcers, hemorrhoid treatment, as an anti-diabetic remedy, emetic, analgesic, purgative, contraceptive, antispasmodic and diuretic. Tillandsia chemical composition includes cycloartane triterpenes and hydroxy-flavonoids, which are present in at least 24 species. Several extracts and compounds from Tillandsia spp. have been reported with pharmacological actions, as anti-neoplasia, hypolipidemic, antifungal, anti-HSV-1, hypoglycemic and microbicide. This review communicates the economic importance, ethnobotany, chemistry composition and biological activities of the Tillandsia genus, and analyze its biological and economic perspective.
