A total of 63 taxa belonging to Bryophyta (22 families 37 genera 44 species), Marchantiophyta (7 families 11 genera 18 species), and Antho- cerotophyta (1 family 1 genus 1 species) were determined, and the liverwort index was 30.2%. The predominant life form was the mat form. The rates of bryophytes dominating in mesic to hygric sites were higher than the bryophytes mainly observed in xeric habitats. These values indicate that such forests are widespread in this study area. Moreover, the rock was the substrate type, which plays a major role in providing micro-habitats for bryophytes. We suggest that more detailed studies of the bryophyte flora should be conducted on a regional scale to provide basic data for selecting indicator species of Gotjawal and evergreen broad-leaved forests on Jejudo Island. Keywords: bryophyte, Aewol Gotjawal, liverwort index, life-form Jejudo Island was formed by volcanic activities and has geological, ecological, and cultural aspects (Jeong et al., 2013; unique topological and geological features.

    Miranda et al. BMC Chemistry (2021) 15:7 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13065-021-00736-3 BMC Chemistry RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Volatile concentrate from the neotropical moss Neckeropsis undulata (Hedw.) Reichardt, existing in the brazilian Amazon Thyago G. Miranda1, Raynon Joel M. Alves1, Ronilson F. de Souza2, José Guilherme S. Maia3, Pablo Luis B. Figueiredo2* and Ana Cláudia C. Tavares‑Martins1,2 Abstract Background: Many natural compounds have been identifed and synthesized by the advancement of bryophytes phytochemistry studies. This work aimed to report the composition of Neckeropsis undulata (Hedw.) Reichardt moss volatiles, sampled in the Combú Island, Belém city, Pará state, Brazil. The volatile concentrate of N. undulata was obtained by a simultaneous distillation‑extraction micro‑system, analyzed by GC and GC‑MS, and reported for the frst time. Results: Ten compounds were identifed in the volatile concentrate, corresponding to 91.6% of the total, being 1‑octen‑3‑ol (35.7%), α‑muurolol (21.4%), naphthalene (11.3%), and n‑hexanal (10.0 %) the main constituents. Most of the constituents of the N. undulata volatile concentrate have been previously identifed in other mosses, and liver‑ worts spread wide in the world. Conclusions: 1‑Octen‑3‑ol, n‑hexanal, 2‑ethylhexanol, isoamyl propionate, and octan‑3‑one are already known metabolic products obtained from enzymatic oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, belonging to the large family of minor oxygenated compounds known as oxylipins. The knowledge of the composition of volatiles from moss N. undulata could contribute to the Neckeraceae species’ chemotaxonomy. Keywords: Neckeraceae, Volatile concentrate, 1‑octen‑3‑ol, α‑muurolol, n‑hexanal Background Brazil’s bryophyte fora comprises 1524 species, of which Bryophytes are small terrestrial spore-forming green 880 are mosses, 633 liverworts, and 11 hornworts.

    Jaffueliobryum Arsenei (Thér.) Thér

    Jaffueliobryum arsenei (Thér.) Thér. Status: Endangered (EN) B1,2cd ———————————————————————————————————————— Class: Bryopsida Order: Grimmiales Family: Grimmiaceae Description and Biology: Plants 8-10 mm tall, growing in dark green to blackish cushions. Leaves oblong-ovate, about 1.0-1.3 mm long, ending in a hyaline hair point. The species is among a unique group of mosses known to exhibit a “cryptoicous” condition where the male organs are borne on a short branch inside the group of leaves that surround the female organs. Although this condition is considered an evolutionary novelty, its biological significance has not been determined, but may be associated with the frequent production of sporophytes. Distribution and Habitat: Known only from two localities in Ecuador (western coastal region of the Andean foothills). History and Outlook: In 1980 and 1981 the species was collected in three sites between 22° 47’N – 102° 34’W and 22° 30’ N – 102° 13’W. The northern of these populations, near the city of Zacatecas, may have suffered from human interference as a cable car facility was built in the interval. It is known from a small area ranging from central Zacatecas to northern Querétaro. The site of type locality in Jurica, Querétaro was revisited in April 2000 and the species was refound and also discovered at a new site further south in the same state. The survival of other populations cannot be ascertained at this time, but since the plants seem well adjusted to desert habitats and may have persisted under the protection of surrounding vegetation (they grow on rocks in dry, exposed situations), they may still remain in their 1980’s sites.

Boore,§ and Bernard Goffinetà *Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut; Department of Biology, Penn State University; àGenome Project Solutions, Hercules, California; §Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute and University of California Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Walnut Creek, California; and kDepartment of Biology, Utah State University Aneura mirabilis is a parasitic liverwort that exploits an existing mycorrhizal association between a basidiomycete and a host tree. This unusual liverwort is the only known parasitic seedless land plant with a completely nonphotosynthetic life history. The complete plastid genome of A. mirabilis was sequenced to examine the effect of its nonphotosynthetic life history on plastid genome content. Using a partial genomic fosmid library approach, the genome was sequenced and shown to be 108,007 bp with a structure typical of green plant plastids. Comparisons were made with the plastid genome of Marchantia polymorpha, the only other liverwort plastid sequence available. All ndh genes are either absent or pseudogenes. Five of 15 psb genes are pseudogenes, as are 2 of 6 psa genes and 2 of 6 pet genes. Pseudogenes of cysA, cysT, ccsA, and ycf3 were also detected. The remaining complement of genes present in M. polymorpha is present in the plastid of A. mirabilis with intact open reading frames. All pseudogenes and gene losses co-occur with losses detected in the plastid of the parasitic angiosperm Epifagus virginiana, though the latter has functional gene losses not found in A.
