Results: We recorded a total of 264 herb species, 31 endemic to Mexico and three classifed as threatened. This number of species represents 5.7 % of Veracruz’s herbaceous angiosperm fora.

REINWARDTIA published by Herbarium Bogoriense - LBN. Bogor Vol. 10, Part 2, pp. 115 — 117 (1085) AEGOPOGON (GRAMINEAE) IN MALESIA J. F. VELDKAMP Kijksherbarium; Leiden, the Netherlands ABSTRACT AeyopoyoiL ceucliroides Willd. var. cenchroides is recorded for the first time from Malesian area based on a collection from Mt. Michael (Papuu New Guinea). A description is provided. ABSTKAK Aegopogou cenchroides Willd. var. emtchrvkles direkam untuk perfcamu kali dari Kawasan Malesia, berdasarkan koleksi dari Gummg Michael 'Papua Nugini). Sebuah pertelaan disajikan. In June 1979 Mr. K. Kerenga, Lae, Papua New Guinea, visited the summit of Mt, Michael, ca. 3750 m high. Among his collections was a curious grass (LAE 74443), .said to cover large areas by sprawling, which has turned out to be Aegopogon cenchroides Willd. var. cenchroides. Neither the species, not the genus was so far known from Malesia, and as I think existing descriptions may not always be within reach of Malesian botanists a short generico-specific description is given here based on the New Guinea collection. The plant is especially conspicuous for the one-sided panicle with paired, much-bristled spikelets that drop off as small burs. The genus of three species is restricted to subtropical America, while our species occurs from Northern Mexico to Bolivia and Venezuela. This distribution would seem to make introduction hardly likely on a mountain only rarely visited by local people and even less outsiders. The latter would be mainly Australian, but the genus has not yet been reported from that continent (Simon in Techn. Bull. Bot. Br. Dept. Prim. Industr., Brisbane 3: 1—89. -

Transnordestina s.n., 44036-900, Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil 3Fazenda Rio do Negro, Entre Rios, Bahia, Brazil Abstract The monospecific genus Discyphus, previously considered a member of Spiranthinae (Orchidoideae: Cranichideae), displays both vegetative and floral morphological peculiarities that are out of place in that subtribe. These include a single, sessile, cordate leaf that clasps the base of the inflorescence and lies flat on the substrate, petals that are long-decurrent on the column, labellum margins free from sides of the column and a column provided with two separate, cup-shaped stigmatic areas. Because of its morphological uniqueness, the phylogenetic relationships of Discyphus have been considered obscure. In this study, we analyse nucleotide sequences of plastid and nuclear DNA under maximum parsimony -

GENOME EVOLUTION in MONOCOTS a Dissertation
GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School At the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Kate L. Hertweck Dr. J. Chris Pires, Dissertation Advisor JULY 2011 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS Presented by Kate L. Hertweck A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Dr. J. Chris Pires Dr. Lori Eggert Dr. Candace Galen Dr. Rose‐Marie Muzika ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many people for their assistance during the course of my graduate education. I would not have derived such a keen understanding of the learning process without the tutelage of Dr. Sandi Abell. Members of the Pires lab provided prolific support in improving lab techniques, computational analysis, greenhouse maintenance, and writing support. Team Monocot, including Dr. Mike Kinney, Dr. Roxi Steele, and Erica Wheeler were particularly helpful, but other lab members working on Brassicaceae (Dr. Zhiyong Xiong, Dr. Maqsood Rehman, Pat Edger, Tatiana Arias, Dustin Mayfield) all provided vital support as well. I am also grateful for the support of a high school student, Cady Anderson, and an undergraduate, Tori Docktor, for their assistance in laboratory procedures. Many people, scientist and otherwise, helped with field collections: Dr. Travis Columbus, Hester Bell, Doug and Judy McGoon, Julie Ketner, Katy Klymus, and William Alexander. Many thanks to Barb Sonderman for taking care of my greenhouse collection of many odd plants brought back from the field. -

This genus, including more than 60 species, is indigenous to South America. Thus far, numerous cultivars, which are used as cut flowers and potted plants worldwide, have been produced by interspecific hybridization and mutation breeding. Recently, biotechnological approaches are being applied in order to improve Alstroemeria strains. Interspecific hybrid plants have been produced by ovule cultures. By improving certain culture techniques, sexual incompatibility was overcome in some cross combinations using ovule cultures. Plant regeneration systems that involved the use of explants, immature ovules, leaves, etc., through callus cultures have been reported. Isolation of protoplasts and cultures resulting in plant regeneration were achieved by using the embryogenic callus. Particle bombardment and Agrobacterium-mediated procedures were applied for genetic transformation, and some transformed plants with marker genes were produced. -

Natural Resources Conservation Service Ecological site R040XA123AZ Volcanic Hills 10"-13" P.Z. Accessed: 09/25/2021 General information Provisional. A provisional ecological site description has undergone quality control and quality assurance review. It contains a working state and transition model and enough information to identify the ecological site. Figure 1. Mapped extent Areas shown in blue indicate the maximum mapped extent of this ecological site. Other ecological sites likely occur within the highlighted areas. It is also possible for this ecological site to occur outside of highlighted areas if detailed soil survey has not been completed or recently updated. MLRA notes Major Land Resource Area (MLRA): 040X–Sonoran Basin and Range AZ 40.1 – Upper Sonoran Desert Elevations range from 2000 to 3200 feet and precipitation averages 10 to 13 inches per year. Vegetation includes saguaro, palo verde, mesquite, creosotebush, triangle bursage, prickly pear, cholla, limberbush, wolfberry, bush muhly, threeawns, ocotillo, and globe mallow. The soil temperature regime is thermic and the soil moisture regime is typic aridic. This unit occurs within the Basin and Range Physiographic Province and is characterized by numerous mountain ranges that rise abruptly from broad, plain-like valleys and basins. Igneous and metamorphic rock classes dominate the mountain ranges and sediments filling the basins represent combinations of fluvial, lacustrine, colluvial and alluvial deposits.
