Different plant species were grouped into ‘species groups’ for which one ortholog was selected and added to the orthogroup, in order to keep the orthogroup topology fixed and to facilitate automation on the one hand, but also to allow enough orthogroups to be constructed on the other hand (see Material and methods).

  • 1083 a Ground-Breaking Study Published 5 Years Ago Revealed That
    American Journal of Botany 100(6): 1083–1094. 2013. SPECIAL INVITED PAPER—EVOLUTION OF PLANT MATING SYSTEMS P OLLINATION AND MATING SYSTEMS OF APODANTHACEAE AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF REPRODUCTIVE TRAITS 1 IN PARASITIC ANGIOSPERMS S IDONIE B ELLOT 2 AND S USANNE S. RENNER 2 Systematic Botany and Mycology, University of Munich (LMU), Menzinger Str. 67 80638 Munich, Germany • Premise of the study: The most recent reviews of the reproductive biology and sexual systems of parasitic angiosperms were published 17 yr ago and reported that dioecy might be associated with parasitism. We use current knowledge on parasitic lineages and their sister groups, and data on the reproductive biology and sexual systems of Apodanthaceae, to readdress the question of possible trends in the reproductive biology of parasitic angiosperms. • Methods: Fieldwork in Zimbabwe and Iran produced data on the pollinators and sexual morph frequencies in two species of Apodanthaceae. Data on pollinators, dispersers, and sexual systems in parasites and their sister groups were compiled from the literature. • Key results: With the possible exception of some Viscaceae, most of the ca. 4500 parasitic angiosperms are animal-pollinated, and ca. 10% of parasites are dioecious, but the gain and loss of dioecy across angiosperms is too poorly known to infer a statisti- cal correlation. The studied Apodanthaceae are dioecious and pollinated by nectar- or pollen-foraging Calliphoridae and other fl ies. • Conclusions: Sister group comparisons so far do not reveal any reproductive traits that evolved (or were lost) concomitant with a parasitic life style, but the lack of wind pollination suggests that this pollen vector may be maladaptive in parasites, perhaps because of host foliage or fl owers borne close to the ground.

  • Oral Allergy Syndrome: a Confuence of Immunology and Phylogeny by Merle K
    NATIONAL CENTER FOR CASE STUDY TEACHING IN SCIENCE NATIONAL CENTER FOR CASE STUDY TEACHING IN SCIENCE Oral Allergy Syndrome: A Confuence of Immunology and Phylogeny by Merle K. Heidemann, Mike S. Taylor, Amanda Storm, Cassie Dresser-Briggs, Alexa Warwick, and Peter J.T. White Objectives Upon completion of this case study, you should be able to: • Explain the symptoms of allergic reactions in terms of cell biology (immune system cells). • Describe the molecular features of cross reactivity. • Build phylogenetic trees using morphological data. • Build phylogenetic trees using molecular data and interpret two kinds of phylogenetic trees. Part I – Immunology Sam had a history of allergic reactions, including reactions to various plant pollens. Birch pollen elicited a particularly strong reaction, causing him annoying sneezing fts and a sore throat. As he grew to adulthood, he discovered that he was also variably allergic to common foods, including some raw fruits and vegetables, as well as most nuts. Sam was puzzled by his recent food allergies. Also puzzling was the variability in his reactions. He reacted strongly to some foods; others resulted in only a mild itchy throat. He wondered, What exactly causes allergic reactions? Sam was determined to fgure out how and why he reacted to birch pollen and later became allergic to other plant- based food. He also hoped this information might help him avoid other foods that might cause him allergies. First, Sam decided he needed to know something about the cellular bases of allergic reactions. He knew it had some- thing to do with the immune system. He did some basic research on the Internet and here’s what he found: Allergens are bits of protein from an innocuous foreign substance, such as pollen or food.

  • Full of Beans: a Study on the Alignment of Two Flowering Plants Classification Systems
    Full of beans: a study on the alignment of two flowering plants classification systems Yi-Yun Cheng and Bertram Ludäscher School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA {yiyunyc2,ludaesch}@illinois.edu Abstract. Advancements in technologies such as DNA analysis have given rise to new ways in organizing organisms in biodiversity classification systems. In this paper, we examine the feasibility of aligning two classification systems for flowering plants using a logic-based, Region Connection Calculus (RCC-5) ap- proach. The older “Cronquist system” (1981) classifies plants using their mor- phological features, while the more recent Angiosperm Phylogeny Group IV (APG IV) (2016) system classifies based on many new methods including ge- nome-level analysis. In our approach, we align pairwise concepts X and Y from two taxonomies using five basic set relations: congruence (X=Y), inclusion (X>Y), inverse inclusion (X<Y), overlap (X><Y), and disjointness (X!Y). With some of the RCC-5 relationships among the Fabaceae family (beans family) and the Sapindaceae family (maple family) uncertain, we anticipate that the merging of the two classification systems will lead to numerous merged solutions, so- called possible worlds. Our research demonstrates how logic-based alignment with ambiguities can lead to multiple merged solutions, which would not have been feasible when aligning taxonomies, classifications, or other knowledge or- ganization systems (KOS) manually. We believe that this work can introduce a novel approach for aligning KOS, where merged possible worlds can serve as a minimum viable product for engaging domain experts in the loop. Keywords: taxonomy alignment, KOS alignment, interoperability 1 Introduction With the advent of large-scale technologies and datasets, it has become increasingly difficult to organize information using a stable unitary classification scheme over time.

  • Contributions to the Solution of Phylogenetic Problem in Fabales
    Research Article Bartın University International Journal of Natural and Applied Sciences Araştırma Makalesi JONAS, 2(2): 195-206 e-ISSN: 2667-5048 31 Aralık/December, 2019 CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SOLUTION OF PHYLOGENETIC PROBLEM IN FABALES Deniz Aygören Uluer1*, Rahma Alshamrani 2 1 Ahi Evran University, Cicekdagi Vocational College, Department of Plant and Animal Production, 40700 Cicekdagi, KIRŞEHIR 2 King Abdulaziz University, Department of Biological Sciences, 21589, JEDDAH Abstract Fabales is a cosmopolitan angiosperm order which consists of four families, Leguminosae (Fabaceae), Polygalaceae, Surianaceae and Quillajaceae. The monophyly of the order is supported strongly by several studies, although interfamilial relationships are still poorly resolved and vary between studies; a situation common in higher level phylogenetic studies of ancient, rapid radiations. In this study, we carried out simulation analyses with previously published matK and rbcL regions. The results of our simulation analyses have shown that Fabales phylogeny can be solved and the 5,000 bp fast-evolving data type may be sufficient to resolve the Fabales phylogeny question. In our simulation analyses, while support increased as the sequence length did (up until a certain point), resolution showed mixed results. Interestingly, the accuracy of the phylogenetic trees did not improve with the increase in sequence length. Therefore, this study sounds a note of caution, with respect to interpreting the results of the “more data” approach, because the results have shown that large datasets can easily support an arbitrary root of Fabales. Keywords: Data type, Fabales, phylogeny, sequence length, simulation. 1. Introduction Fabales Bromhead is a cosmopolitan angiosperm order which consists of four families, Leguminosae (Fabaceae) Juss., Polygalaceae Hoffmanns.

  • Hitchcock's Sedge
    Natural Heritage Hitchcock’s Sedge & Endangered Species Carex hitchcockiana Dewey Program www.mass.gov/nhesp State Status: Special Concern Federal Status: None Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Hitchcock’s sedge, a member of the Sedge family (Cyperaceae), is a perennial, herbaceous, grass-like plant of rich woodlands. It was named in honor of botanist Edward Hitchcock (1793-1864). It may occur singly or in large stands of slender stems. The plant is 8 to 28 inches (20–70 cm) tall. It is often found in association with other rich woodland herbs under a forest canopy. AIDS TO IDENTIFICATION: To positively identify Hitchcock’s sedge and other members of the genus Carex, a technical manual should be consulted. Species in this genus have tiny, wind-pollinated flowers that are borne in spikes. Each flower is unisexual and is closely subtended by small, flat scales that largely conceal the flowers. The staminate (i.e., pollen-bearing) flowers are subtended by a single scale. The pistillate (i.e., ovule- bearing) flowers are subtended by two scales, an outer flat scale (“pistillate scale”) and an inner, sac-like scale, called a “perigynium,” that encloses the flower, and later, the fruit. Holmgren, Noel H. 1998. The Illustrated Companion to Gleason and Cronquist’s Manual. New York Botanical Garden. Hitchcock’s Sedge belongs to a group of Carex (section illustration). The tiny fruit (“achene”) inside each Griseae) that all have impressed (sunken) perigynia perigynium has a sharply bent beak. Each flowering culm veins. In this species, the perigynium is broadest well has a single, terminal, staminate spike above two to four above the middle (obovate); it tapers gradually toward the pistillate spikes.
