Published 18 November 2020. ISSN 2153 733 A PHYLOGENY OF THE HUBBARDOCHLOINAE INCLUDING TETRACHAETE (CYNODONTEAE: CHLORIDOIDEAE: POACEAE) PAUL M. PETERSON AND KONSTANTIN ROMASCHENKO Department of Botany National Museum of Natural History Smithsonian Institution Washington, D.C. 20013-7012 [email protected]; [email protected] YOLANDA HERRERA ARRIETA Instituto Politécnico Nacional CIIDIR Unidad Durango-COFAA Durango, C.P. 34220, México [email protected] ABSTRACT The phylogeny of subtribe Hubbardochloinae is revisited, here with the inclusion of the monotypic genus Tetrachaete, based on a molecular DNA analysis using ndhA intron, rpl32-trnL, rps16 intron, rps16- trnK, and ITS markers. Tetrachaete elionuroides is aligned within the Hubbardochloinae and is sister to Dignathia. The biogeography of the Hubbardochloinae is discussed, its origin likely in Africa or temperate Asia. In a previous molecular DNA phylogeny (Peterson et al. 2016), the subtribe Hubbardochloinae Auquier [Bewsia Gooss., Dignathia Stapf, Gymnopogon P. Beauv., Hubbardochloa Auquier, Leptocarydion Hochst. ex Stapf, Leptothrium Kunth, and Lophacme Stapf] was found in a clade with moderate support (BS = 75, PP = 1.00) sister to the Farragininae P.M. Peterson et al. In the present study, Tetrachaete elionuroides Chiov. is included in a phylogenetic analysis (using ndhA intron, rpl32- trnL, rps16 intron, rps16-trnK, and ITS DNA markers) in order to test its relationships within the Cynodonteae with heavy sampling of species in the supersubtribe Gouiniodinae P.M.

  • Exploring Spinifex Biomass for Renewable Materials Building Blocks
    Exploring Spinifex Biomass for Renewable Materials Building Blocks Nasim Amiralian A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology i Abstract Triodia pungens is one of the 69 species of an Australian native arid grass spinifex which covers approximately 27 % (2.1 million km2) of the Australian landmass. The use of fibrous and resinous components of spinifex has been well documented in traditional indigenous Australian culture for thousands of years. In this thesis the utility of both the cellulosic and resinous components of this abundant biomass for modern applications, and a potential economy for our Aboriginal collaborators, were explored. One part of this study was focused on the optimisation of a resin extraction process using solvent, and the subsequent evaluation, via a field trial, of the potential use and efficacy of the resin as a termiticide. Termiticidal performance was evaluated by re-dissolving the extracted resin in acetone and coating on pine timber blocks. The resin-coated and control blocks (uncoated timber) were then exposed to a colony of Mastotermes darwiniensis termites, which are the most primitive active and destructive species in subterranean areas, at a trial site in northeast Australia, for six months. The results clearly showed that spinifex resin effectively protected the timber from termite attack, while the uncoated control samples were extensively damaged. By demonstrating an enhanced termite resistance, it is shown that plant resins that are produced by arid/semi-arid grasses could be potentially used as treatments to prevent termite attack.

  • Notes on Some Grasses V by Tuguo TATEOKA* Received December 18
    Notes on Some Grasses V by Tuguo TATEOKA* ReceivedDecember 18, 1956 8. Systematic position of the genus Astrebla The genus Astrebla comprises four species which are endemic in Australia ; A. squarrosa C. E. Hubbard, A. pectinacea F. Muell., A, lappacea Domin and A. elyri noides F. Muell. Bentham (1881), Hackel (1887), F. Ballard (1930) and Gardner (1952) referred this genus to Chlorideae. But Pilger (1954) placed it under Festuceae- Triodiinae together with the genera Triodia, Plectrachne and Notochloa. According to C. E. Hubbard (1928) Astrebla might be most closely allied to Triodia, especially such species as T. lanigera Domin and T. mitchelii Benth. As the species of Astrebla have been hitherto scarcely examined cytologically or anatomically, these views are wholly based on the characteristics of external morphology. Samples of seeds of A. lappacea Domin and A. pectinacea F. Muell. were kindly supplied by Dr. W. Hartley and Dr. N. T. Burbidge. They were grown in our ex- perimental garden. The author's observations of their chromosomes and leaf structure are reported below. Chromosomes'>-In both A. lappacea and A. pectinacea forty small chromosomes are observed in root tip cells (Fig. 1, E • F). Leaf structure-Short club-shaped bicellular hairs and saddle-shaped siliceous cells are found in the upper and lower epidermis of both A. lappacea and A. pecti- nacea (Fig. 1, C • D). In the upper epidermis of both species, long white hairs are visible to the naked eye whose base has a sheath of epidermal cells. Vascular bundles of the two species are surrounded by inner and outer bundle sheaths.

  • The Vegetation of the Western Australian Deserts
    ©Reinhold-Tüxen-Gesellschaft (http://www.reinhold-tuexen-gesellschaft.de/) Ber. d. Reinh.-Tüxen-Ges. 18, 219-228. Hannover 2006 The Vegetation of the Western Australian Deserts - Erika and Sandro Pignatti, Rom - Abstract The internal area of W. Australia has arid climate and conditions for plant growth are particularly difficult. The surface of this huge, almost uninhabited territory consists of four landscape systems: the Great Sandy Desert, the Little Sandy Desert, the Great Victoria Desert, the Gibson Desert. The four deserts extend between 21-26° of south- ern latitude, linking to the central Australian deserts and the Nullarbor Plain in the South. Meteorological stations are only in settlements of the surrounding semi-desert areas (Wiluna, Meekatharra, Cue, Warburton), and all show around 200-250 mm year- ly rainfall; in the centre of the deserts rainfall is still much lower, and indicated as “erratic and unreliable”; some areas may lack rain for several years. Despite of the par- ticularly severe ecological conditions, most of the surface is covered by vegetation (at least a discontinuous one) and during expeditions in 2001 and 2002 over 700 species were collected and more than 350 phytosociological relevés were carried out.Two main habitat types can be recognized: Mulga – scattered growth of treelets (Acacia aneura, generally about 3-4 m height), with open understorey (Senna, Eremophila, Solanum) and herbs usually covering less than 20 % of the surface; in the Gibson Desert mulga occurs mainly on hard rock sub- strate (granite, laterite). Because of the discontinuous plant cover, fire can spread only over limited areas. Spinifex – Quite a compact cover of perennial grasses (several species of Triodia, with sharply pointed leaves in dense tussocks 3-5 dm high, panicles up to 1 m and high- er) in monospecific populations covering 60-80 % of the surface; in the sandy deserts, on siliceous sand.
