    The Interplay Between Inflorescence Development and Function As the Crucible of Architectural Diversity

    Annals of Botany Page 1 of 17 doi:10.1093/aob/mcs252, available online at www.aob.oxfordjournals.org REVIEW: PART OF A SPECIAL ISSUE ON INFLORESCENCES The interplay between inflorescence development and function as the crucible of architectural diversity Lawrence D. Harder1,* and Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz2 1Department of Biological Sciences, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2N 1N4 and 2Department of Computer Science, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2N 1N4 * For correspondence. Email [email protected] Received: 27 July 2012 Returned for revision: 13 September 2012 Accepted: 17 October 2012 † Background Most angiosperms present flowers in inflorescences, which play roles in reproduction, primarily Downloaded from related to pollination, beyond those served by individual flowers alone. An inflorescence’s overall reproductive contribution depends primarily on the three-dimensional arrangement of the floral canopy and its dynamics during its flowering period. These features depend in turn on characteristics of the underlying branching structure (scaffold) that supports and supplies water and nutrients to the floral canopy. This scaffold is produced by devel- opmental algorithms that are genetically specified and hormonally mediated. Thus, the extensive inflorescence diversity evident among angiosperms evolves through changes in the developmental programmes that specify http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/ scaffold characteristics, which in turn modify canopy features that promote reproductive performance in a par- ticular pollination and mating environment. Nevertheless, developmental and ecological aspects of inflorescences have typically been studied independently, limiting comprehensive understanding of the relations between inflor- escence form, reproductive function, and evolution. † Scope This review fosters an integrated perspective on inflorescences by summarizing aspects of their devel- opment and pollination function that enable and guide inflorescence evolution and diversification.

(Euphorbiaceae)inthe Sikkim Himalaya Hiroshi IKEDAa, Takahide KUROSAWAb and Hideaki OHBAa aDepartment of Botany, University Museum, University of Tokyo, Hongo 7-3-1, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo 113-0033 JAPAN; bFaculty of Symbiotic Systems Science, Fukushima University, Fukushima 960-1296 JAPAN (Received on May 10, 2008) Somatic chromosome numbers and karyomorphology of three species belonging to the genus Euphorbia section Tulocarpa and section Holophyllum collected from the Sikkim Himalaya are reported. Euphorbia sikkimensis Boiss. (sect. Tulocarpa)was found to be 2n 26 (diploid), E. griffithii Hook. f. (sect. Tulocarpa)2n52 (tetraploid), and E. luteoviridis D. G. Long (sect. Holophyllum)2n20. Chromosome numbers of E. griffithii and E. luteoviridis were examined for the first time. The chromosome number of E. sikkimensis was different from those in previous reports. Chromosomes of E. sikkimensis and E. griffithii were different in ploidy level. Polyploidy may play an impor- tant role in species diversification in Euphorbia sect. Tulocarpa in the Sikkim Himalaya. Key words: Chromosome number, cytology, Euphorbia, Himalaya, karyomorphology.

    A Summary of England VCR Reports, 2017

    A summary of England VCR reports, 2017 VC 1a & 2 (West and East Cornwall): Colin French, Ian Bennallick The number of records for Cornwall reached the 2 million mark in 2017. It now stands at 2,070,922 with 79,769 flowering plant and fern records added in 2017 (67,501 of those records were made in 2017). 106 people provided flowering plant and fern records in 2017; however, the vast majority were recorded by just 6 recorders. The 1km squares where flowering plant and fern records were made in 2017 are shown in the map below. The greatest concentration of recording took place in mid Cornwall with the objective of getting as many of those squares above 200 species per 1km as possible. During 2017 an additional 308 1km squares reached the 200-249 species band, 48 reached 250-299 and 19 exceeded 299. VC2 East Cornwall VC1 West Cornwall VC1 – 34787 records, 1166 taxa VC2 – 32714 records, 1209 taxa Number of species of flowering plants and ferns per 1km recorded since 1999 – up to 31st December 2017 Continued good progress was made in 2017 towards the ongoing monad survey which will result in the publication of the New Flora of Cornwall atlas. West Cornwall (VC1) is largely complete. 22 of the 3963 1km squares remain unvisited and of the 1909 1km squares that have less than 200 species recorded (see table below) it is estimated that 800-900 1km squares can be significantly improved. It should be noted that a large part of central VC2 consists of Bodmin Moor (circa 200 km2) where the maximum number of species per 1km square is close to 100 and many coastal squares only support low numbers of species.

Poyang Lake, located in the middle reaches of Yangtze River (central China), constitutes the largest freshwater lake of the country. It harbours high biodiversity and provides important habitat for local wildlife. A dam that will maintain the water capacity in Poyang Lake is currently being planned. However, the local biodiversity and the likely effects of this dam on the biodiversity (especially on the endemic and rare plants) have not been thoroughly examined.

    The Names You Know, the People You Don’t: The Plant People!!! Derek P.S. Tustin es I like my fish, and yes I really like my Rainbowfish, but as most of you are aware, I have a passion for aquatic plants as well. It’s not just fish that are named in honour of people, but plants as well. Unfortunately, more is made of an expedition that discovered a new species of fish, or the person who Ystudied that fish, than is made of those who have made botanical discoveries. But, they deserve some recognition as well, so here are some brief biographies of some of those honoured by name in the aquatic plants we keep. Adam Afzelius (1750 – 1837) One of the more uncommon species of Anubias is Anubias afzelii which was first collected by Adam Afzelius in Sierra Lione. It was the first species of Anubias discovered and the first to be described. Adam Afzelius was born in Larv, Sweden in 1750. It is not recorded where he attended school, but as he was a made a teacher of oriental languages at Uppsala University in Sweden in 1777 and then in 1785 made a demonstrator of botany at the same institution, it can be assumed that he studied at a university in Sweden, possibly the aforementioned Uppsala. It is further known that around 1792 he spent some time on the west coast of Africa, and it is probable that he first gathered the plant that was later named Anubias afzelii (1856). After spending some time in Africa, he returned to Sweden and resumed his position of demonstrator of botany at Uppsala University.
