Ratard, Mehmet Ozalp, Darrel L. Smith, and James P. Marshall Abstract The term forested wetland covers a variety of forest types including mangroves, cypress/tupelo swamps, bottomland hardwoods, pocosins and Carolina bays, flatwoods, and mountain fens. These forests are dominated by woody species that have morphological features, physiological adaptations, and/or reproductive strategies enabling them to achieve maturity and reproduce in an environment where the soils within the rooting zone may be inundated or saturated for various periods during the growing season. Although alluvial floodplains occur along most streams of the United States, they are most extensive in the Atlantic Coastal Plain, Gulf Coastal Plain, and Mississippi Alluvial Plain. Only about half of the original floodplain forests remained by the 1930s, and conversion to agriculture continued at an accelerated pace during the 1960s and 1970s. The purpose of this bibliography is to provide a detailed listing of references for students and researchers of the varied studies conducted in these forest types.

Abd El-Kadder Assistant Professor at Horticulture Research Institute Agricultural Research Center Pharmacognosy Department Faculty of Pharmacy Cairo University 2018 1 Abstract: Aiming to identify and authenticate Sequoia sempervirens (D.Don Endl) and Taxodium distichum (L.Rich) cultivated in Egypt. RAPD technique was employed to identify unique DNA markers and establish a typical fingerprint for S. sempervirens and T. distichum. The amplification profile of S. sempervirens was screened and a total of 18 different RAPD fragments had been recorded while the amplification profile of T. distichum was screened and a total of 15 different RAPD fragments had been recorded. Macromorphological and micromorphological studies of S. sempervirens and T. distichum had been done. The results of preliminary phytochemical screening of both plants showed the absence of alkaloids, anthraquinones, catechol tannins or cardiac glycosides in non-flowering parts of S. sempervirens and T. distichum. Sterols and/or triterpenoids, pyrogallol tannins, carbohydrate and/or glycosides and flavonoids were detected in all of the tested parts of the plants.

  • Synthesis of New Sulfurated Derivatives of Natural and Synthetic Systems As Multitarget Anticancer Agents and Development of New Drug Discovery Methodologies
    Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences PhD Course in Pharmaceutical Sciences (XXIX Cycle) Synthesis of New Sulfurated Derivatives of Natural and Synthetic Systems as Multitarget Anticancer Agents and Development of New Drug Discovery Methodologies Supervisor: Prof. Anna SPARATORE Coordinator: Prof. Marco DE AMICI PhD Thesis of: Elena Gabriele R10658 Academic year 2015/2016 “I don’t believe there would be any science at all without intuition.” Rita Levi Montalcini A mio marito e ai miei genitori Preface This thesis is divided in two parts. The former has been carried out at the Universitá degli Studi di Milano, department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, in the research group of Professor Anna Sparatore. This project treats the synthesis of new sulfurated compounds with the aim of obtaining anticancer agents acting through a multitarget mechanism. This part, entitled "design and synthesis of new derivatives of natural and synthetic systems endowed with anticancer activity, through a multitarget mechanism" is discussed from page 1 to page 149. The latter has been developed at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich), Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (IPW), under the supervision and in the research group of Professor Dario Neri. This project explains the advantages of using DNA-encoded chemical libraries (DECLs) in drug discovery process. In particular, since in the majority of cases DECLs require at least one-step of amide bond formation between amino modified DNA and a carboxylic acid, we optimized a new methodology of synthesis in order to facilitate the construction of single-pharmacophore libraries (DECLs). This part, entitled "optimized reaction conditions for amide bond formation in DNA-encoded combinatorial libraries" is discussed from page 151 to page 187.

The stump is 35 inches tall. Above right: Melaleuca stump with bark removed to show infiltrating cypress roots attached to looping-roots and knee. Photos by Nick Shirghio. The roots of cypress trees (Taxodium distichum and T. ascendens) have been released from typical constraints that keep roots subterranean, and regularly protrude above ground in odd woody formations known as “knees”. Most knees are more or less conical, but I would describe some as being shaped more like spires, Hershey kisses, blobs, or shmoos. Knees are prominent features that bestow cypress swamps with an ambiance like no other swamp. For nearly two centuries, the function of knees has been theorized and researched, without consensus, and remains “an enduring enigma” as discussed by C. H. Briand (2000; see also Brown 1984 and references within both articles). Hypotheses include gas exchange (e.g., aeration of root system), mechanical support, nutrient acquisition (including detritus catchers), and carbohydrate storage. Knees generally do not grow much above the average high-water level in any particular swamp, thus the aeration theory is arguably the most popular, despite this specialized function being unsupported by physiological and anatomical research.

  • Evolution of Flooding Tolerance in a Spatially and Temporally Heterogeneous Landscape
    EVOLUTION OF FLOODING TOLERANCE IN A SPATIALLY AND TEMPORALLY HETEROGENEOUS LANDSCAPE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Jill Theresa Anderson January 2009 © 2009 Jill Theresa Anderson EVOLUTION OF FLOODING TOLERANCE IN A SPATIALLY AND TEMPORALLY HETEROGENEOUS LANDSCAPE Jill Theresa Anderson, Ph. D. Cornell University 2009 This dissertation explores plant adaptations to flooding and drought stress. In the first study, I assessed flooding tolerance as a function of life history stage in Itea virginica, a species of shrub from cypress tupelo forests of the United States. Results from this study indicate that limited flooding tolerance of juveniles restricts the distribution patterns of adults (Chapter 1). In a complementary study, I assessed adaptive evolution in Elliott’s blueberry (Vaccinium elliottii). In heterogeneous landscapes, natural selection can result in the evolution of locally adapted ecotypes. However, if habitats differ in size or quality, demographic source-sink dynamics can shape the evolutionary trajectory of species. I conducted a multiyear reciprocal transplant experiment to test whether V. elliottii is locally adapted to upland and floodplain forests in South Carolina. These contrasting habitats vary tremendously in water table depth, light levels and edaphic conditions. In the greenhouse, I exposed individuals to drought and flooding to assess selection on traits in response to disparate abiotic stresses. Finally, I quantified population differentiation and gene flow via microsatellite markers. V.elliottii families exhibited significantly higher fitness in upland relative to floodplain forests, regardless of the habitat of origin.
