  • Glycosides in the Rubiaceae*
    The occurrence of asperulosidic glycosides in the Rubiaceae* P. Kooiman Laboratorium voor Algemene en Technische Biologie Technische Hogeschool, Delft. SUMMARY Some properties of the new iridoid compounds Galium glucoside and Gardenia glucoside are described. Galium glucoside and asperuloside occurin many species belongingto the Rubioideae (sensu Bremekamp); they were not found in other subfamilies of the Rubiaceae. Gardenia glucoside occurs in several species ofthe tribe Gardenieae (subfamily Ixoroideae). The distribution of the asperulosidic glucosides in the Rubiaceae corresponds with the classi- fication proposed by Bremekamp, although there are some exceptions (Hamelieae, Opercu- laria and Pomax, possibly the Gaertnereae). To a somewhat less degreethe system proposedby Verdcourt is supported. 1. INTRODUCTION Apart from the classification arrived at by Bremekamp (1966) the only other modern system of the Rubiaceae was proposed by Verdcourt (1958); both au- thors considered their classifications tentative. The have several fea- as systems tures in common, but deviate in some points. The main differences are in the po- sition ofthe Urophylloideae sensu Bremekamp, which are included in the subfa- mily Rubioideaeby Verdcourt, and in the relationship between the Cinchonoideae the Ixoroideae and (both sensu Bremekamp) which are united in the subfamily Cinchonoideae by Verdcourt. Both systems diverge widely and principally from all older classifications which appeared to become more and more unsatis- factory as the number of described species increased. In 1954 Briggs & Nicholes reported on the presence or absence of the iridoid glucoside asperuloside (1) in most species of Coprosma and in many other Rubiaceae. The reaction they used for the detection of asperuloside is now known to be not specific for this glucoside; it detects in addition some struc- turally and most probably biogenetically related glycosides.

  • Floral Fragrances. a Day in the Life of a Linalool Molecule
    Plant Species Biology (1999) 14, 95Ð120 NEW PERSPECTIVES IN POLLINATION BIOLOGY: FLORAL FRAGRANCES A day in the life of a linalool molecule: Chemical communication in a plant-pollinator system. Part 1: Linalool biosynthesis in ßowering plants ROBERT A. RAGUSO* and ERAN PICHERSKY *Department of Biological Sciences, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208, USA. Department of Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109Ð1048, USA Abstract The monoterpene alcohol, linalool, is present in the ßoral fragrance of diverse plant fami- lies and is attractive to a broad spectrum of pollinators, herbivores and parasitoids. Floral emission of linalool has evolved de novo in the fragrant, moth-pollinated annual Clarkia breweri (Gray) Greene (Onagraceae) through a combination of up-regulation and ectopic expression of its biosynthetic enzyme, linalool synthase (LIS), in conjunction with allo- metric size increases in all ßoral organs. Linalool synthase activity and linalool emissions are 1000-fold lower in a sibling species, C. concinna (Fischer & Meyer) Greene, that is diurnally pollinated. Linalool synthase expression is spatially and temporally regulated during C. breweri ßower development, immediately precedes free linalool emission and is absent from nonßoral tissues. Its activity is highest in the style, but most of the linalool product appears to be converted to the pyranoid and furanoid linalool oxides. The LIS structural gene is a member of the terpene synthase gene family, sharing sequence iden- tity with two discrete classes, represented by limonene synthase (LMS) and copalyl pyrophosphate synthase (CPS). Genetic crosses between C. breweri and C. concinna indi- cate that strong linalool emission segregates as a dominant mendelian trait, whereas the inheritance of linalool oxide formation is more complex, suggesting epistatic biosynthetic pathway interactions.

  • A SURVEY of the SYSTEMATIC WOOD ANATOMY of the RUBIACEAE by Steven Jansen1, Elmar Robbrecht2, Hans Beeckman3 & Erik Smets1
    IAWA Journal, Vol. 23 (1), 2002: 1–67 A SURVEY OF THE SYSTEMATIC WOOD ANATOMY OF THE RUBIACEAE by Steven Jansen1, Elmar Robbrecht2, Hans Beeckman3 & Erik Smets1 SUMMARY Recent insight in the phylogeny of the Rubiaceae, mainly based on macromolecular data, agrees better with wood anatomical diversity patterns than previous subdivisions of the family. The two main types of secondary xylem that occur in Rubiaceae show general consistency in their distribution within clades. Wood anatomical characters, espe- cially the fibre type and axial parenchyma distribution, have indeed good taxonomic value in the family. Nevertheless, the application of wood anatomical data in Rubiaceae is more useful in confirming or negating already proposed relationships rather than postulating new affinities for problematic taxa. The wood characterised by fibre-tracheids (type I) is most common, while type II with septate libriform fibres is restricted to some tribes in all three subfamilies. Mineral inclusions in wood also provide valuable information with respect to systematic re- lationships. Key words: Rubiaceae, systematic wood anatomy, classification, phylo- geny, mineral inclusions INTRODUCTION The systematic wood anatomy of the Rubiaceae has recently been investigated by us and has already resulted in contributions on several subgroups of the family (Jansen et al. 1996, 1997a, b, 1999, 2001; Lens et al. 2000). The present contribution aims to extend the wood anatomical observations to the entire family, surveying the second- ary xylem of all woody tribes on the basis of literature data and original observations. Although Koek-Noorman contributed a series of wood anatomical studies to the Rubiaceae in the 1970ʼs, there are two principal reasons to present a new and com- prehensive overview on the wood anatomical variation.

Acad. Arts ROBERT F. THORNE Mem. Amer. Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden Claremont, California 91711 ABSTRACT This update of my classification of the flowering plants, or Angiospermae, is based upon about 800 pertinent books, monographs, and other botanical papers published since my last synopsis appeared in the Nordic Journal of Science in 1983. Also I have narrowed my family- and ordinal-gap concepts to bring acceptance of family and ordinal limits more in line with those of current taxonomists. This new information and the shift in my phylogenetic philosophy have caused significant changes in my interpretation of relationships and numbers and content of taxa. Also the ending "-anae" has been accepted for superorders in place in the traditional but inappropriate" -iflorae." A new phyletic "shrub" replaces earlier versions, and attempts to indicate relationships among the superorders, orders, and suborders. One table includes a statistical summary of flowering-plant taxa: ca. 235,000 species of 12,615 genera, 440 families, and 711 subfamilies and undivided families in 28 superorders, 70 orders, and 7 5 suborders of Angiospermae.
