  • OTKA-68538 Kutatási Zárójelentés
    Zárójelentés Az OTKA K 68538 számú „Molekuláris és morfo-taxonómiai kutatások a Rubiaceae családban” cím ű pályázatáról. (2007–2012) ELŐZMÉNYEK A Rubiaceae család a Föld negyedik legnépesebb virágos növény családja több mint 700 nemzetséggel és több mint 13.000 fajjal. A közel 2 millió km 2-nyi terület ű Mexikói Államszövetség flórája a Föld negyedik leggazdagabb növényvilága. Ebben a Rubiaceae a negyedik legnagyobb nemzetség- és fajszámú család, amely még további feltárást igényel. A családot mindenütt specialisták kutatják és dolgozzák fel. Világviszonylatban mintegy 15–20 ilyen specialista van. A témavezet őt a Karib térség szakért őjeként 2000-ben kérte fel a mexikói UNAM a Flora deGuerrero projektben való részvételre, miután 1992 óta vesz részt a mexikói flóra feltárásában. A korszer ű vizsgálatokhoz 2000-től felállt egy mikromorfológiai-molekuláris team, amely külföldi neves kutatóm űhelyekkel részben együttm űködésben, (Göteborg, New York) részben versenyben (Missouri, Stockholm, Texas), végezte kutató tevékenységét. Ennek eredményeként született meg 41 tudományos közlemény és az Akadémiai Kiadó gondozásában 2006 november végén megjelent Rubiáceas de México cím ű flóram ű 512 oldalon, spanyol nyelven 107 eredeti m űvészi tollrajz ábratáblával. A könyv unikális abban a tekintetben, hogy a mai napig az egyetlen olyan flóram ű, amely egy nagy növénycsalád feldolgozását a 32 tagállamot magába foglaló Mexikói Államszövetség egész területére tartalmazza, és abban a tekintetben is, hogy alapjaiban molekuláris filogenetikai kutatások eredményeire támaszkodik. A flóram ű els ő kiadása is részben az OTKA, valamint a Szilárd Leó kutatási ösztöndíj támogatásával jelent meg. CÉLKIT ŰZÉS Az új kutatási programot a K58638 számú OTKA pályázat keretében kett ős célkit űzéssel indítottuk: 1. A mexikói flóra további feltárása klasszikus kutatási eszközökkel.

De los Barrios 1, Los Reyes Iztacala Tlalnepantla, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Estado de México, Mexico 2 Wellcome Trust Millennium Building, RH17 6TN, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Ardingly, West Sussex, United Kingdom * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT Background. Mexico is one of the most floristically rich countries in the world. Despite significant contributions made on the understanding of its unique flora, the knowledge on its diversity, geographic distribution and human uses, is still largely fragmented. Unfortunately, deforestation is heavily impacting this country and native tree species are under threat. The loss of trees has a direct impact on vital ecosystem services, affecting the natural capital of Mexico and people's livelihoods. Given the importance of trees in Mexico for many aspects of human well-being, it is critical to have a more complete understanding of their diversity, distribution, traditional uses and conservation status. We aimed to produce the most comprehensive database and catalogue on native trees of Mexico by filling those gaps, to support their in situ and ex situ conservation, promote their sustainable use, and inform reforestation and livelihoods programmes. Methods. A database with all the tree species reported for Mexico was prepared by compiling information from herbaria and reviewing the available floras. Species names were reconciled and various specialised sources were used to extract additional species information, i.e.

  • Mistletoes of North American Conifers
    United States Department of Agriculture Mistletoes of North Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station American Conifers General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-98 September 2002 Canadian Forest Service Department of Natural Resources Canada Sanidad Forestal SEMARNAT Mexico Abstract _________________________________________________________ Geils, Brian W.; Cibrián Tovar, Jose; Moody, Benjamin, tech. coords. 2002. Mistletoes of North American Conifers. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS–GTR–98. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 123 p. Mistletoes of the families Loranthaceae and Viscaceae are the most important vascular plant parasites of conifers in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Species of the genera Psittacanthus, Phoradendron, and Arceuthobium cause the greatest economic and ecological impacts. These shrubby, aerial parasites produce either showy or cryptic flowers; they are dispersed by birds or explosive fruits. Mistletoes are obligate parasites, dependent on their host for water, nutrients, and some or most of their carbohydrates. Pathogenic effects on the host include deformation of the infected stem, growth loss, increased susceptibility to other disease agents or insects, and reduced longevity. The presence of mistletoe plants, and the brooms and tree mortality caused by them, have significant ecological and economic effects in heavily infested forest stands and recreation areas. These effects may be either beneficial or detrimental depending on management objectives. Assessment concepts and procedures are available. Biological, chemical, and cultural control methods exist and are being developed to better manage mistletoe populations for resource protection and production. Keywords: leafy mistletoe, true mistletoe, dwarf mistletoe, forest pathology, life history, silviculture, forest management Technical Coordinators_______________________________ Brian W. Geils is a Research Plant Pathologist with the Rocky Mountain Research Station in Flagstaff, AZ.

  • Contribution to the Floristic Knowledge of the Sierra Mazateca of Oaxaca,Mexico
    NUMBER 20 MUNN-ESTRADA: FLORA OF THE SIERRA MAZATECA OF OAXACA, MEXICO 25 CONTRIBUTION TO THE FLORISTIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE SIERRA MAZATECA OF OAXACA,MEXICO Diana Xochitl Munn-Estrada Harvard Museums of Science & Culture, 26 Oxford St., Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 Email: [email protected] Abstract: The Sierra Mazateca is located in the northern mountainous region of Oaxaca, Mexico, between the Valley of Tehuaca´n-Cuicatla´n and the Gulf Coastal Plains of Veracruz. It is part of the more extensive Sierra Madre de Oaxaca, a priority region for biological research and conservation efforts because of its high levels of biodiversity. A floristic study was conducted in the highlands of the Sierra Mazateca (at altitudes of ca. 1,000–2,750 m) between September 1999 and April 2002, with the objective of producing an inventory of the vascular plants found in this region. Cloud forests are the predominant vegetation type in the highland areas, but due to widespread changes in land use, these are found in different levels of succession. This contribution presents a general description of the sampled area and a checklist of the vascular flora collected during this study that includes 648 species distributed among 136 families and 389 genera. The five most species-rich angiosperm families found in the region are: Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Rubiaceae, Melastomataceae, and Piperaceae, while the largest fern family is Polypodiaceae.

  • A SURVEY of the SYSTEMATIC WOOD ANATOMY of the RUBIACEAE by Steven Jansen1, Elmar Robbrecht2, Hans Beeckman3 & Erik Smets1
    IAWA Journal, Vol. 23 (1), 2002: 1–67 A SURVEY OF THE SYSTEMATIC WOOD ANATOMY OF THE RUBIACEAE by Steven Jansen1, Elmar Robbrecht2, Hans Beeckman3 & Erik Smets1 SUMMARY Recent insight in the phylogeny of the Rubiaceae, mainly based on macromolecular data, agrees better with wood anatomical diversity patterns than previous subdivisions of the family. The two main types of secondary xylem that occur in Rubiaceae show general consistency in their distribution within clades. Wood anatomical characters, espe- cially the fibre type and axial parenchyma distribution, have indeed good taxonomic value in the family. Nevertheless, the application of wood anatomical data in Rubiaceae is more useful in confirming or negating already proposed relationships rather than postulating new affinities for problematic taxa. The wood characterised by fibre-tracheids (type I) is most common, while type II with septate libriform fibres is restricted to some tribes in all three subfamilies. Mineral inclusions in wood also provide valuable information with respect to systematic re- lationships. Key words: Rubiaceae, systematic wood anatomy, classification, phylo- geny, mineral inclusions INTRODUCTION The systematic wood anatomy of the Rubiaceae has recently been investigated by us and has already resulted in contributions on several subgroups of the family (Jansen et al. 1996, 1997a, b, 1999, 2001; Lens et al. 2000). The present contribution aims to extend the wood anatomical observations to the entire family, surveying the second- ary xylem of all woody tribes on the basis of literature data and original observations. Although Koek-Noorman contributed a series of wood anatomical studies to the Rubiaceae in the 1970ʼs, there are two principal reasons to present a new and com- prehensive overview on the wood anatomical variation.

  • Lotusland's Nursery: Where the Future Happens
    LOTUSLAND NEWSLETTER VOLUME 26 NO. 2SPRING 2017 Lotusland’s Nursery: Where the Future Happens BY PAUL MILLS HE NURSERY at Lotusland is where the future happens and Tthe next generation of plants is started. Nursery operations are one of the many crucial behind-the-scenes operations at Lotusland. Our globally important plant collections rely on the nursery as a fundamental pillar of support for building and caring for these collections. The nursery supports many diverse aspects of Lotusland operations, including producing plants for the gift shop and for the Fourth Grade Out- reach Program; acting as a hospital for declining plants from the collections; and introducing new plants to the garden. They also manage much of the extraordinary Exceptional Plants: Lotusland Auction & Sale event, to be held this year on Saturday, October 7. It’s hard to be sure what existed at Lotusland in the way of a nursery when Madame Ganna Walska bought the property in 1941. There are remnants of The greenhouse at Lotusland is the backbone of nursery operations.

  • Secondary Metabolites from Rubiaceae Species

André Araújo, 2936, Petrópolis, Manaus, AM 69067-375, Brazil * Author to whom correspondence should be addressed; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +55-092-3643-3654. Academic Editor: Marcello Iriti Received: 13 June 2015 / Accepted: 13 July 2015 / Published: 22 July 2015 Abstract: This study describes some characteristics of the Rubiaceae family pertaining to the occurrence and distribution of secondary metabolites in the main genera of this family. It reports the review of phytochemical studies addressing all species of Rubiaceae, published between 1990 and 2014. Iridoids, anthraquinones, triterpenes, indole alkaloids as well as other varying alkaloid subclasses, have shown to be the most common. These compounds have been mostly isolated from the genera Uncaria, Psychotria, Hedyotis, Ophiorrhiza and Morinda. The occurrence and distribution of iridoids, alkaloids and anthraquinones point out their chemotaxonomic correlation among tribes and subfamilies. From an evolutionary point of view, Rubioideae is the most ancient subfamily, followed by Ixoroideae and finally Cinchonoideae. The chemical biosynthetic pathway, which is not so specific in Rubioideae, can explain this and large amounts of both iridoids and indole alkaloids are produced. In Ixoroideae, the most active biosysthetic pathway is the one that produces iridoids; while in Cinchonoideae, it produces indole alkaloids together with other alkaloids. The chemical biosynthetic pathway now supports this botanical conclusion.
