Appendix Color Plates of Solanales Species
Appendix Color Plates of Solanales Species The first half of the color plates (Plates 1–8) shows a selection of phytochemically prominent solanaceous species, the second half (Plates 9–16) a selection of convol- vulaceous counterparts. The scientific name of the species in bold (for authorities see text and tables) may be followed (in brackets) by a frequently used though invalid synonym and/or a common name if existent. The next information refers to the habitus, origin/natural distribution, and – if applicable – cultivation. If more than one photograph is shown for a certain species there will be explanations for each of them. Finally, section numbers of the phytochemical Chapters 3–8 are given, where the respective species are discussed. The individually combined occurrence of sec- ondary metabolites from different structural classes characterizes every species. However, it has to be remembered that a small number of citations does not neces- sarily indicate a poorer secondary metabolism in a respective species compared with others; this may just be due to less studies being carried out.

Annals of West University of Timişoara, ser. Biology, 2018, vol. 21 (1), pp.29-46 COMPARATIVE MORPHOLOGY OF LEAF EPIDERMIS IN THE GENUS IPOMOEA (CONVOLVULACEAE) IN SOUTHERN NIGERIA Kehinde Abiola BOLARINWA 1, Oyetola Olusegut OYEBANJI 2, James Dele OLOWOKUDEJO 2 1Biology Unit, Distance Learning Institute, University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos, Nigeria 2Department of Botany, University of Lagos, Nigeria *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Received 15 March 2018; accepted 8 May 2018 ABSTRACT Leaf epidermal morphology of eight species of Ipomoea found in Southern Nigeria has been studied using light microscope. Epidermal characters such as stomata type, epidermal cell type, anticlinal wall patterns, trichomes, presence of glands, stomata number and size, epidermal cell number and size, cell wall thickness, gland number and gland length vary within and amongst the species. The cells of adaxial and abaxial epidermises are polygonal or irregular with straight, sinuous or curved anticlinal wall pattern. Stomata are present on both adaxial and abaxial surfaces. Stomata complex is paracytic except in I. asarifolia and I. purpurea where its staurocytic; stomata index is higher on the abaxial side while trichome is absent on the abaxial surface of I. cairica and I. purpurea, likewise on the adaxial surface of I. involucrata. Glands are observed in all the species. Interspecific variation was further revealed in the quantitative micromorphology characters of Ipomoea species studied which was statistically supported at p<0.001 significance level. The taxonomic significance of these features in identification and elucidation of species affinity is discussed. KEY WORDS: Ipomoea, epidermal cell, stomata type, taxonomy, quantitative and qualitative characters. -

Entre ellos, las abejas constituyen un eslabón esencial en la polinización de angiospermas que durante millones de años desarrollaron estrategias cada vez más específicas para atraerlas. De esta forma se establece una relación muy fuerte entre am- bos, planta-polinizador, y cuanto mayor es la especialización, tal como sucede en un gran número de especies de orquídeas y cactáceas entre otros grupos, ésta se torna más vulnerable ante cambios ambientales naturales o producidos por el hombre. De esta forma, el estudio de este tipo de interacciones resulta cada vez más importante en vista del incremento de áreas perturbadas o modificadas de manera antrópica en las cuales la fauna y flora queda expuesta a adaptarse a las nuevas condiciones o desaparecer. -
Annotated Checklist of Thai Convolvulaceae Taxonomic Research for the Account of the Convolvulaceae of Thailand Has Been Carried
THAI FOR. BULL. (BOT.) 33: 171–184. 2005. Annotated checklist of Thai Convolvulaceae GEORGE STAPLES*, BUSBUN NA SONGKHLA**, CHUMPOL KHUNWASI** & PAWEENA TRAIPERM** ABSTRACT. An annotated checklist to the Convolvulaceae of Thailand is presented. The account covers 24 genera, 127 species and four infraspecific taxa. The present checklist includes the accepted name for each taxon plus selected synonyms and misapplied names that have been used in late 20th century taxonomic literature about the Thai flora. Taxa known to be cultivated in Thailand, but not yet escaped or naturalised, are included in the checklist and indicated as such. Taxonomic research for the account of the Convolvulaceae of Thailand has been carried on independently by the first author and a team from Chulalongkorn University. A significant number of changes have come to light, relative to the last comprehensive list of taxa for the family (Kerr 1951, 1954). These include nomenclatural and taxonomic changes as well as new distribution records for Thailand. During a visit to Bangkok in December 2002 the authors met and decided to combine their efforts to produce a new comprehensive checklist of names for Thai Convolvulaceae as a precursor to the full account of the family now in preparation. It is hoped that having an up-to-date checklist of names available now will be useful to collectors, researchers, and students during the time that the full flora account is being written. The present checklist includes the accepted name for each taxon plus selected synonyms and misapplied names that have been used in late zoth century taxonomic literature about the Thai flora. -

MICROPROPAGATION AND SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS IN FRANKLINIA ALATAMAHA BARTRAM EX MARSHALL by DAVID GLENN BELESKI (Under the Direction of Scott Merkle) ABSTRACT Franklinia alatamaha (Theaceae) is a monotypic genus, believed to be extinct in the wild since 1803. It exists solely as ex situ cultivated specimens. A thorough literature review including primary sources, previously unrecognized publications, and current studies in the field, provides a number of possible answers towards the ongoing debate over the species’ origins and causes of its extirpation. In addition, a complete micropropagation system for the production of axenic shoot cultures and fully rooted potted plantlets was developed. A variety of plant growth regulator (PGR) combinations, as well as explant sources, were tested for the initiation of both dormant and active shoot cultures. The influence of gibberellic acid (GA3) and various chelating compounds were tested for their applicability toward in vitro propagation. Finally a variety of treatments were tested for their effect on rooting the previously cultured shoots in vitro prior to hardening off.

Systematic Studies in Some Ipomoea Linn. Species Using Pollen and Flower Morphology
Annals of West University of Timişoara, ser. Biology, 2012, vol XV (2), pp.177-187 SYSTEMATIC STUDIES IN SOME IPOMOEA LINN. SPECIES USING POLLEN AND FLOWER MORPHOLOGY Adeniyi A. JAYEOLA, Olatunde R. OLADUNJOYE University of Ibadan, Department of Botany, Nigeria Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The current study was conducted in search of constant morpho-anatomical characters to aid the identification and classification of commonly encountered Ipomoea species in south west Nigeria. Flower and pollen morphology as important repository of constant characters formed the focus of the investigation. Whole flowers were dissected to expose the carpel and stamens for study. For pollen study, after soaking in de-ionized water, the anthers were collected and crushed, stained and placed on a glass slide by needle for observation under light microscope. The lengths of styles and filament all varied in the seven species, highest length in styles was recorded in Ipomoea hederifolia (37.0-38.5mm) while the minimum was recorded in Ipomoea vagans (16.5-19.0mm). United bract into a boat-shaped, doubly acuminate involucre distinguished Ipomoea involucrata from the remaining six species with free bracts. Pollen grains were found to be radially symmetrical; circular in outline, sculpture were echinate, circular aperture, pores equidistantly distributed, oblate, speriodal and oblate-spheriodal. Largest pollen size was recorded in Ipomoea aquatica (60.2- 62.5µm), suggesting a less derived position whereas the minimum size (30.7-31.4µm) was observed in Ipomoea hederifolia. The maximum spine length was recorded in Ipomoea involucrate (8.3-9.6µm) and minimum was recorded in Ipomoea hederifolia (3.3-4.0µm). -
