  • Agenda 2017.Indb
    Las Mujeres en la CienciA AGE 20 NDA 17 Presentación n el México de hoy podemos afirmar que los espacios es- tán abiertos para las mexicanas. Su participación en to- Edos los ámbitos y profesiones, actividades económicas, políticas y sociales, así como en la educación, la ciencia y la cultura es cada vez mayor. No obstante, se pueden identificar brechas históricas, es decir, aún las mujeres de las ciencias no logran tener una participación más allá del 25%; si bien son numerosas y de gran talento las que incursionan en la investigación científica, en especial en me- dicina y astronomía, la diferenciación con los hombres abarca todos los ámbitos de la vida. Con la publicación de esta agenda —por cuarto año consecuti- vo—, en el INMUJERES nos hemos propuesto construir un espa- cio de conocimiento y divulgación de quiénes somos las mexi- canas, cómo hemos contribuido al desarrollo, la cultura y a la vida política y social en México. En esta ocasión hemos querido develar a las mujeres de la cien- cia y la tecnología; todas ellas generadoras de conocimiento científico y divulgadoras del mismo; con aportaciones importan- tes en un ámbito que desde lejos, parece estar sólo en manos de los hombres. Las científicas mexicanas han contribuido a las ciencias médi- cas, a la botánica, la biología y el medio ambiente; igualmen- te, documentamos las aportaciones a la nanotecnología, a los estudios del mar y del petróleo, así como a la astronomía, las matemáticas y la física. Algunas pioneras en su disciplina. En el INMUJERES estamos convencidas que fomentar, desa- rrollar y fortalecer la participación de las mujeres en la in- vestigación científica y tecnológica, es una prioridad para el desarrollo sustentable del país.

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

    2021/09/24 13:59 1/18 BACKEBERGIA MILITARIS (AUDOT) H. BRAVO HOLLIS BACKEBERGIA MILITARIS (AUDOT) H. BRAVO HOLLIS CACTUS & Co. 2 (8) 2004 Version pdf INTRODUCTION Backebergia militaris (H. Bravo ex Sánchez- Mejorada, 1973) has always been a difficult plant for which to find a taxonomical position. It is included in the tribe Pachycereeae Buxbaum, sub-tribe Pachycere- inae Buxbaum. However, its morphology and life cycle are distinct from those of all the other taxa included. Furthermore, it has a character which is unique in the whole Cactaceae family, that is, it bears an inflores- cence with genetically determinate growth, a decidu- ous one, which for this exclusive character deserves a specific term, that I define as “Tiponche” (pron. teep- ònche), from the vernacular name by which the species is known in its distribution area. The present paper describes for the first time the deciduous character of the inflorescence, and how this adaptation influences the dynamics of the life cycle of B. militaris. Furthermore, its functional significance is investigated, and related to a probable, sophisticated mutual symbiosis between the plant and a lepidopter- an of the Pyraloidea, of a yet undetermined species. This study is the result of bibliographic research and of observations carried out both in the wild, dur- ing a survey in March 1994 in a locality within the dis- tribution area of B. militaris, and with the dissection of authorized 1) samples collected on the same occasion. NOTES ON THE STUDIES CARRIED OUT ON BACKEBERGIA MILITARIS The species was discovered some 150 years ago, but the encounters between B.

Plantings dating back to 1908 and still thriving give the garden much of its character. Their bright festive panicles of white blossoms add a cheery background and accent to the symphony of spring color in the lower Desert Garden. According to the latest authorities there are 45 yucca species and 14 varieties and they are placed in the agave family. Most of the species are found in the Southwest, northern and central Mexico and Baja California. But the genus is more widespread with species found along the Atlantic seaboard, the Great Plains, into Canada, and south as far as Guatemala. Yucca blossoms, with the exception of at least one species (the rose-tinged Yucca endlichiana) are mostly creamy white.

The development of the ovule and the female gametophyte has been poorly characterized in species of the family; thus, it is proposed to carry out a detailed study on the development of the ovule, megasporogenesis and megagametogenesis in Fouquieria fasciculata. Questions: How are the developmental patterns of the ovule and the female gametophyte in Fouquieria fasciculata? Study species: Fouquieria fasciculata (Willd. ex Roem. & Schult.) Nash (Fouquieriaceae). Methods: Embryology, morphology and histochemical tests of floral buds and flowers at pre-anthesis ofFouquieria fasciculata were examined using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Results: The ovules of Fouquieria fasciculata are anatropous, bitegmic and tenuinucellate, and the micropyle is formed by the inner integu- ment.

Colinas de la Normal, Guadalajara, Jalisco, México The ability to regenerate a plant from a single cell is known as totipotency, and such phenomenon occurs not only in in vitro tissue and cell culture but in specialized somatic cells that are part of whole plants in ex vitro natural conditions, constituting this asexual or vegetative processes their only means of reproduction [1]. A large number of studies have been conducted in order to understand the mechanisms by which shoots, plantlets and vegetative propagules are produced. According to the first studies reported by Yarbrough [2, 3], in the fern species Camptosorus rhizophyllus (which has two different kinds of leaves), shoots are produced at the tip of long acuminate leaves, while in the species Tolmiea menziesii shoots are originated in a notch near the junction of the petiole and the leaf blade; in both cases, the shoots are produced from meristematic tissue and once they are mature are naturally detached from the leaf and fall to the ground originating a new plant.

  • Phylogenetic Relationships in the Order Ericales S.L.: Analyses of Molecular Data from Five Genes from the Plastid and Mitochondrial Genomes1
    American Journal of Botany 89(4): 677±687. 2002. PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS IN THE ORDER ERICALES S.L.: ANALYSES OF MOLECULAR DATA FROM FIVE GENES FROM THE PLASTID AND MITOCHONDRIAL GENOMES1 ARNE A.

Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden Phylogenetic interrelationships in the enlarged order Ericales were investigated by jackknife analysis of a combination of DNA sequences from the plastid genes rbcL, ndhF, atpB, and the mitochondrial genes atp1 and matR. Several well-supported groups were identi®ed, but neither a combination of all gene sequences nor any one alone fully resolved the relationships between all major clades in Ericales. All investigated families except Theaceae were found to be monophyletic. Four families, Marcgraviaceae, Balsaminaceae, Pellicieraceae, and Tetrameristaceae form a monophyletic group that is the sister of the remaining families. On the next higher level, Fouquieriaceae and Polemoniaceae form a clade that is sister to the majority of families that form a group with eight supported clades between which the interrelationships are unresolved: Theaceae-Ternstroemioideae with Ficalhoa, Sladenia, and Pentaphylacaceae; Theaceae-Theoideae; Ebenaceae and Lissocarpaceae; Symplocaceae; Maesaceae, Theophrastaceae, Primulaceae, and Myrsinaceae; Styr- acaceae and Diapensiaceae; Lecythidaceae and Sapotaceae; Actinidiaceae, Roridulaceae, Sarraceniaceae, Clethraceae, Cyrillaceae, and Ericaceae. Key words: atpB; atp1; cladistics; DNA; Ericales; jackknife; matR; ndhF; phylogeny; rbcL. Understanding of phylogenetic relationships among angio- was available for them at the time, viz.

  • Kalanchoe Daigremoniana - Mother of Thousands Plant
    Kalanchoe daigremoniana - Mother of Thousands plant: From Wikipedia: Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae [Angiosperms; Eudicots; Core eudicots] Order: Saxifragales Family: Crassulaceae Genus: Kalanchoe Section: Bryophyllum Species: K. daigremontiana Binomial name: Kalanchoe daigremontiana Raym.- Hamet & H.Perrier Synonyms Bryophyllum daigremontianum Raym.-Hamet & H.Perrie Common names: Devil's Backbone, Alligator Plant, Mexican Hat Plant, Mother of Thousands. Mother of Thousands is a succulent plant native to Madagascar. This plant is distinguished by its ability to propagate via vegetative propagation. All parts of the plant are poisonous, which can even be fatal if ingested by infants or small pets. Plants of the genus Kalanchoe able to propagate vegetatively are often included in section Bryophyllum, therefore Kalanchoe daigremontiana Hamet & Perrier is synonymously called Bryophyllum daigremontianum (Hamet & Perrier) Berger. (Some botanists consider Bryophyllum a distinct genus.) Plants reach up to 1 m (3 feet) tall with opposite, fleshy oblong-lanceolate "leaves" that reach 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) long and about 3.2 cm (1.25 inches) wide. These are medium green above and blotched with purple underneath. The margins of these leaf-like organs have spoon-shaped bulbiliferous spurs that bear young plants. The plantlets form roots while on the plant. The "leaves" are actually short, determinate, leaf-like branches that can be termed phylloclades or cladodes. Adult plants can also develop lateral root structures on its main stalk, as high up as 10-15 cm from the ground. The plant has several nodes with two or three leaves on each node. The upper leaves of the plant tend to develop into disproportionately large structures, causing the main stalk to bend downwards and the lateral roots to take up root of their own, anchoring into the soil and eventually developing new primary stalks which establish themselves as independent plants.
