Towards Resolving Lamiales Relationships
Schäferhoff et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:352 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/10/352 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Towards resolving Lamiales relationships: insights from rapidly evolving chloroplast sequences Bastian Schäferhoff1*, Andreas Fleischmann2, Eberhard Fischer3, Dirk C Albach4, Thomas Borsch5, Günther Heubl2, Kai F Müller1 Abstract Background: In the large angiosperm order Lamiales, a diverse array of highly specialized life strategies such as carnivory, parasitism, epiphytism, and desiccation tolerance occur, and some lineages possess drastically accelerated DNA substitutional rates or miniaturized genomes. However, understanding the evolution of these phenomena in the order, and clarifying borders of and relationships among lamialean families, has been hindered by largely unresolved trees in the past. Results: Our analysis of the rapidly evolving trnK/matK, trnL-F and rps16 chloroplast regions enabled us to infer more precise phylogenetic hypotheses for the Lamiales. Relationships among the nine first-branching families in the Lamiales tree are now resolved with very strong support. Subsequent to Plocospermataceae, a clade consisting of Carlemanniaceae plus Oleaceae branches, followed by Tetrachondraceae and a newly inferred clade composed of Gesneriaceae plus Calceolariaceae, which is also supported by morphological characters. Plantaginaceae (incl. Gratioleae) and Scrophulariaceae are well separated in the backbone grade; Lamiaceae and Verbenaceae appear in distant clades, while the recently described Linderniaceae are confirmed to be monophyletic and in an isolated position. Conclusions: Confidence about deep nodes of the Lamiales tree is an important step towards understanding the evolutionary diversification of a major clade of flowering plants. The degree of resolution obtained here now provides a first opportunity to discuss the evolution of morphological and biochemical traits in Lamiales. -

The history of the Empress tree (Paulownia) in the USA Whitney Adrienne Snow* Department of History, Midwestern State University, Wichita Falls, TX, USA The Paulownia tree first arrived in the USA in the early nineteenth century and quickly transitioned from an exotic oddity to a beloved ornamental by some and a reviled invasive species by others. Many gardeners and horticulturalists praised the tree for its rapid growth and beautiful lavender blossoms. Critics thought the non-native tree a threat to native flora and sought its eradication. One species, Paulownia tomentosa,is invasive and has been especially vilified by organizations ranging from the National Park Service and National Forests Service to the US Department of Agriculture. -

Though not regarded as a regular medicinal plant species, various plant parts (leaves, flowers, fruits, wood, bark, roots and seeds) of Paulownia have been used for treating a variety of ailments and diseases. Each of these parts has been shown to contain one or more bioactive components, such as ursolic acid and matteucinol in the leaves; paulownin and d- sesamin in the wood/xylem; syringin and catalpinoside in the bark. -

Plants Resistant Or Susceptible to Armillaria Mellea, the Oak Root Fungus
Plants Resistant or Susceptible to Armillaria mellea, The Oak Root Fungus Robert D. Raabe Department of Environmental Science and Management University of California , Berkeley Armillaria mellea is a common disease producing fungus found in much of California . It commonly occurs naturally in roots of oaks but does not damage them unless they are weakened by other factors. When oaks are cut down, the fungus moves through the dead wood more rapidly than through living wood and can exist in old roots for many years. It also does this in roots of other infected trees. Infection takes place by roots of susceptible plants coming in contact with roots in which the fungus is active. Some plants are naturally susceptible to being invaded by the fungus. Many plants are resistant to the fungus and though the fungus may infect them, little damage occurs. Such plants, however, if they are weakened in any way may become susceptible and the fungus may kill them. The plants listed here are divided into three groups. Those listed as resistant are rarely damaged by the fungus. Those listed as moderately resistant frequently become infected but rarely are killed by the fungus. Those listed as susceptible are severely infected and usually are killed by the fungus. The fungus is variable in its ability to infect plants and to damage them. Thus in some areas where the fungus occurs, more plant species may be killed than in areas where other strains of the fungus occur. The list is composed of two parts. In Part A, the plants were tested in two ways. -

A Floristic Study of the Cane Creek Drainage Area in Jocassee Gorges
A FLORISTIC STUDY OF THE CANE CREEK WATERSHED OF THE JOCASSEE GORGES PROPERTY, OCONEE AND PICKENS COUNTIES, SOUTH CAROLINA A Thesis Presented to The Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Botany by LayLa Waldrop August 2001 Robert Ballard ABSTRACT The Cane Creek Watershed is one of the four existing watersheds included within the Jocassee Gorges Area. Cane Creek consists of approximately 7.6 miles of stream associated with the Keowee River System of the Savannah Drainage System. A descriptive study of the vascular flora of the watershed initiated in 1998 documented four hundred and three plant species, two hundred and eighty-three genera, and one hundred and five families in the 4,400 acre study area. This investigation centered on plant presence, distribution, and noted the presence of endemic, disjunct, and endangered species. Endemic species found include the following: Carex austrocaroliniana, Carex radfordii, Clethra acuminata, Houstonia serpyllifolia, Rhododendron minus, Shortia galacifolia, and Trillium discolor. Disjunct species included Asplenium monanthes. Two species reaching into the South Carolina mountains, but commonly found in more northern latitudes, include Saxifraga micranthidifolia and Xerophyllum asphodeloides. Rare and endangered species within the study site include seven threatened species and nine species which have unresolved status. Of these sixteen species, eleven, two, and one are of concern in South Carolina, in the southeast, and in the nation, respectively. These species include: Asplenium monanthes, Carex austrocaroliniana, Carex bromoides ssp. montana, Carex radfordii, Circaea lutetiana ssp. canadensis, Gaultheria procumbens, Galearis spectabilis, Hepatica nobilis var. acuta, Juglans cinera, Juncus gymnocarpus, Lygodium palmatum, Panax quinquefolius, Saxifraga micranthidifolia, Shortia galacifolia, Trillium discolor, and Xerophyllum asphodeloides. -

ABSTRACT Paulownia is a genus of fast-growing and multipurpose tree species that is native to China. Due to their rapid growth and value in the timber market, many Paulownia species are cultivated in several temperate zones worldwide. Eco- nomic importance of Paulownia is increasing as new uses and related products are developed. It is also suitable as a lignocellulosic feedstock crop for the bioethanol industry in the Southeastern USA. A number of Paulownia species are valuable sources of secondary metabolites including flavonoids with high antioxidant activities. A high demand for planting material in domestic and international markets for afforestation and bioenergy production has necessitated the development of efficient micropropagation protocols for rapid and mass propagation of Paulownia. Over the past sev- eral decades, research on Paulownia species has been conducted to develop micropropagation, somatic embryogenesis and genetic transformation protocols for use in agroforestry and reforestation programs. -

Appendix to Part 1 Anatomy. "When studying the critical points by which the Bignoniaceae might eventually differ from the Scrophulariaceae, it appears that the morphology of the fruit itself cannot be taken into consideration" (PACLT, Part 1: 257). Indeed, there exist some conver- gences in the fruit between both families. To show this fact, the capsule of Rhigozum trichotomum (Bignoniaceae) and that of Paulownia tomen- tosa (Scrophulariaceae) are figured in the present paper (Fig.
