  • Narcissus Tazetta Drought Tolerant Bulbs for the Bay Area
    NARCISSUS TAZETTA DROUGHT TOLERANT BULBS FOR THE BAY AREA Joan Zwiep February 2016 NARCISSUS TAZETTA DROUGHT TOLERANT BULBS FOR THE BAY AREA Bulbs In botany, a geophyte or bulb, is a short stem with fleshy leaves or leaf ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ bases that function as food storage organs during dormancy. The ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ underground storage organs of bulbs expend their food and water storage to produce the leaves and flowers. It is these underground food and water storage organs that allow these plants to resist drought. Bulbous plant species cycle through vegetative and reproductive growth stages; the bulb grows to flowering size during the vegetative stage and the plant flowers during the reproductive stage. During the wet season, bulbs replenish their resources from soil nutrients and photosynthesis. During the hot, dry season, bulbs go dormant storing their accumulated food supply while showing little to no sign of life above ground. In autumn or spring the plants sprout again to continue the cycle. It is these characteristics which make many bulbous plants suitable for our Mediterranean climate of mild, wet winters and then hot, dry summers. Narcissus For many, daffodils are the flower of spring, the harbinger of warmer weather and longer days. They belong to one of the few plant genera that gardeners in all regions of the United States can grow successfully. That’s not to say that all daffodils will grow in all regions; it’s just a matter of selecting the ones that will thrive in a particular climate zone. Narcissus is a genus of predominantly spring perennial plants in the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Amaryllidaceae (amaryllis) family.

Address for correspondence: Nicolás García, [email protected] DOI https://doi.org/10.1002/tax.12062 Abstract A robust generic classification for Amaryllidaceae has remained elusive mainly due to the lack of unequivocal diagnostic characters, a consequence of highly canalized variation and a deeply reticulated evolutionary history. A consensus classification is pro- posed here, based on recent molecular phylogenetic studies, morphological and cytogenetic variation, and accounting for secondary criteria of classification, such as nomenclatural stability. Using the latest sutribal classification of Hippeastreae (Hippeastrinae and Traubiinae) as a foundation, we propose the recognition of six genera, namely Eremolirion gen. nov., Hippeastrum, Phycella s.l., Rhodolirium s.str., Traubia, and Zephyranthes s.l. A subgeneric classification is suggested for Hippeastrum and Zephyranthes to denote putative subclades.

  • Amaryllidaceae Alkaloids
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Amaryllidaceae alkaloids: identifcation and partial characterization of montanine Received: 26 September 2018 Accepted: 9 May 2019 production in Rhodophiala bifda Published: xx xx xxxx plant Andressa Reis1, Kevin Magne2,3,5, Sophie Massot2,3, Luciana R. Tallini1,4, Marina Scopel1, Jaume Bastida4, Pascal Ratet2,3 & José A. S. Zuanazzi1 Rhodophiala bifda (R. bifda) is a representative of the Amaryllidaceae plant family and is rich in montanine, an alkaloid with high pharmaceutical potential. Despite the interest in these compounds, many steps of the biosynthetic pathway have not been elucidated. In this study, we identifed the alkaloids produced in diferent organs of R. bifda under diferent growth conditions, set up the conditions for in vitro R. bifda regeneration and initiated the molecular characterization of two R. bifda genes involved in alkaloids biosynthesis: the Norbelladine 4′-O-Methyltransferase (RbN4OMT) and the Cytochrome P450 (RbCYP96T). We show that montanine is the main alkaloid produced in the diferent R. bifda organs and developed a direct organogenesis regeneration protocol, using twin-scale explants cultivated on media enriched with naphthalene acetic acid and benzyladenine. Finally, we analyzed the RbN4OMT and RbCYP96T gene expressions in diferent organs and culture conditions and compared them to alkaloid production. In diferent organs of R. bifda young, adult and regenerated plants, as well as under various growing conditions, the transcripts accumulation was correlated with the production of alkaloids. This work provides new tools to improve the production of this important pharmaceutical compound and for future biotechnological studies. Plants belonging to the Amaryllidaceae family produce alkaloids that have been extensively studied because of their pharmaceutical properties.

  • Alkaloids from Chilean Species of the Genus Rhodophiala C. Presl (Amaryllidaceae) and Their Chemotaxonomic Importance
    Gayana Bot. 75(1): 459-465, 2018. ISSN 0016-5301 Original Article Alkaloids from Chilean species of the genus Rhodophiala C. Presl (Amaryllidaceae) and their chemotaxonomic importance Alcaloides de especies chilenas del género Rhodophiala C. Presl (Amaryllidaceae) y su importancia quimiotaxonómica ISABEL LIZAMA-BIZAMA1*, CLAUDIA PÉREZ1, CARLOS M. BAEZA1, EUGENIO URIARTE2 & JOSÉ BECERRA1 1Departamento de Botánica, Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Oceanográficas, Universidad de Concepción, Casilla 160-C, Concepción, Chile. 2Departamento de Química Orgánica, Facultad de Farmacia, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, 15782 Santiago de Compostela, España. *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT The family Amaryllidaceae is widely distributed from temperate to tropical regions. Amaryllidaceae species from the subfamily Amaryllidoideae can biosynthesize alkaloids with important physiological effects. Rhodophiala C. Presl is one of the native genera of Amaryllidoideae of Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Brazil. However, despite the diversity of this genus in Chile, their alkaloids have only been studied previously in one species of this country. The present work aims to analyze the alkaloid profi les and chemotaxonomically compare three other Chilean species of Rhodophiala: Rhodophiala bagnoldii (Herb.) Traub, Rhodophiala pratensis (Poepp.) Traub and Rhodophiala volckmannii Phil. Bulb extracts were analyzed by means of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and alkaloids were characterized according to retention time and fragmentation pattern. The skeleton type alkaloids detected were lycorine, crinine, galanthamine, homolycorine, tazettine and montanine. All analyzed species showed different alkaloid profi les, indicating these compounds can be used as a chemotaxonomic tool. Furthermore, the alkaloid types detected in this genus have multiple reported biological properties and these species can constitute new sources of important medicinal products.

Algunos de sus representantes son cultivados como ornamentales, tales como Amaryllis L., Crinus L., Galanthus L., Leucojum L., Lycoris Herb. y Narcissus L. En Chile, especies de los géneros Placea Miers, Phycella Lindl. y Rhodophiala C.Presl han llamado la atención de investigadores en floricultura, ya que sus vistosas flores representan un potencial ornamental tanto para ser utilizadas como plantas de jardín o de macetas. Sin embargo, para cualquier programa de investigación de biotecnológica vegetal aplicada, es necesaria la identificación del material vegetal que se está utilizando. Esto, en Amaryllidaceae chilenas es un desafío, puesto que la clasificación de los géneros y especies, que se ha hecho en base caracteres morfológicos tradicionales, es aún controvertida, dado por complejas variación morfológica observadas en géneros tales como Hippeastrum Herb., Phycella Lindl. Y Rhodophiala C.Presl, lo que se traduce en caracteres homoplásicos, o bien, en la supresión de la variación fenotípica o canalización. Mediante el uso de secuencias ITS, obtenidas desde material vegetal de 13 especies chilenas pertenecientes a los géneros Phycella Lindl., Rhodophiala C.Presl, Rhodolirium Phil. Famatina Ravenna y Miltinea (Ravenna) Ravenna. Se realizó un análisis filogenético de máxima parsimonia, con apoyo bootstrap, y posteriormente se combinó este análisis molecular con características morfológicas y estudios citológicos para proponer una clasificación mas robusta, predictiva, y consistente de estos 5 géneros nativos de Amaryllidaceae de Chile.
