NeoBiota 45: 93–115. https://doi.org/10.3897/neobiota.45.33866 Abstract River ports represent a special type of urbanized area. They are considered to be an important driver of biological invasion and biotic homogenization on a global scale, but it remains unclear how and to what degree they serve as a pool of alien species. Data for 54 river ports (16 German, 20 Czech, 7 Hungarian, 3 Slovak, and 8 Austrian ports) on two important Central European waterways (the Elbe-Vltava and Dan- ube waterways) were collected over 40 years. In total, 1056 plant species were found. Of these, 433 were alien, representing 41% of the total number of species found in all the studied Elbe, Vltava, and Danube ports. During comparison of floristic data from literary sources significant differences in the percentage of alien species in ports (50%) and cities (38%) were found.

Therefore, in increasing order of the retention times, seven compounds have been identified and quantitative determined, as follows: neoxanthin, violaxanthin, lutein-5,6-epoxide, lutein, β-cryptoxanthin, α- and β-carotene. High amounts of lutein have been found in all Senecio extracts. Rezumat Pentru prima dată au fost analizate, prin HPLC, fracţiunile carotenoidice provenite de la două specii de Senecio (S. vernalis Waldst. et Kit. şi S. jacobaea L.). Astfel, în ordinea crescătoare a timpilor de retenţie, au fost identificate şi determinate cantitativ şapte componente, după cum urmează: neoxantina, violaxantina, lutein-5,6-epoxid, luteina, β-criptoxantina, α- şi β-caroten. În extractele de Senecio, luteina a fost preponderentă din punct de vedere cantitativ. Keywords: Senecio vernalis; S. jacobaea; carotenoids; HPLC analysis. Introduction Senecio vernalis Waldst. et Kit., spring groundsel and S. jacobaea L., tansy ragwort, of Asteraceae family, are native in Eurasia, North America, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, and Northern Africa.

A total of forty-five, sixty, and forty-two compounds were identified, constituting over 90.1%, 88.0%, and 89.0% of oil composition of the flower, leaf, and stem of S. pandurifolius , respectively. The chemical profile reveals the dominance of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (flower: 42.4%, leaf: 43.4%, stem: 52.3%). The main components of essential oils own to S. pandurifolius were α-cuprenene (30.7%) in flower, α-zingiberene (16.1%) in leaf and γ- curcumene (14.9%) in stem. Terpene related compounds were in minor amounts in all parts (flower: 1.4%, leaf: 1.5%, stem: 1.9%) of the S. pandurifolius . Also there was no monoterpene hydrocarbons and oxygenated monoterpenes in the essential oil of the stem. In addition, antimicrobial activities of the essential oils of S.

  • Genetic Basis of Speed of Development in Senecio Vulgaris L

Sell, and Senecio vernalis Waldst. & Kit. HANS PETER COMES* & JOACHIM W. KADEREIT Institut für Spezielle Botanik u. Botanischer Garten, Johannes Gutenberg-Universitat Mainz, Bentze/weg 9, 55099 Mainz, Germany Thegenetic basis of differences in speed of development from germination to first bud formation was investigated in Senecio vulgaris var. vulgaris and S. vulgaris ssp. denticulatus, and also in S. vernalis sampled from Israel and Germany. In the case of S. vulgaris, F2 segregation analysis and the recovery of very late and very early lines from extreme F2 phenotypes showed that differences can be explained by a single major gene model, whereas segregation data from F2 and backcross progenies in S. vernalis are not incompatible with a digenic model of inheritance. Senecio vernalis from Israel and S. vulgaris var. vulgaris reached the different developmental stages in a substantially shorter time than did C. European S. vemalis and S. vulgaris ssp. denticulatus. In both species the increased speed of development was achieved through drastic abbreviation of the rosette stage of development rather than through an acceleration of the entire developmental programme. It is suggested that the genes controlling speed of development in S. vulgaris and S. vemalis may be homologous to major heterochronic genes identified from mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana (e.g. early flowering [elfl—3]). Keywords:earlyflowering mutants, genetic basis, life history trait, Senecio vemalis, Senecio vulgaris, speed of development.

  • Life Form of Early Spring Plants in Relation to the Altitude and Climate Change (Bentuk Kehidupan Bagi Tumbuhan Musim Bunga Awal Kepada Altitud Dan Perubahan Iklim)
    Sains Malaysiana 42(10)(2013): 1467–1471 Life Form of Early Spring Plants in Relation to the Altitude and Climate Change (Bentuk Kehidupan Bagi Tumbuhan Musim Bunga Awal kepada Altitud dan Perubahan Iklim) E.S. SHUKUROV*, M.A. NABIYEV & V.M. ALI-ZADE ABSTRACT The purpose of the investigation was to study the early spring plant diversity distributed in different vegetation types and their life forms, in relation to different altitudes. The investigation was carried out in accordance with itinerary method beginning from the shoreline up to the mountain. The results showed that 100% of the totally collected plants from the desert vegetation were therophytes; 100% from steppe vegetation were geophytes; 50 from forest were geophytes and the other 50% were hemicryptophytes. It is concluded that the life forms of early spring plants change depending on the altitude corresponding to changes in the air temperature as well as climatic and edaphic factors. Keywords: Climate changes; ephemerals; geophytes; life form of plants; transect ABSTRAK Tujuan penyelidikan ini ialah untuk mengkaji kepelbagaian tumbuhan musim bunga awal yang tertabur dalam jenis vegetasi berbeza dan bentuk kehidupannya dan perhubungan kepada altitud berbeza.
