Tribe ANTHEMIDEAE 春黄菊族 chun huang ju zu Lin Yourun (林有润 Ling Yeou-ruenn, Ling Yuou-ruen), Shi Zhu (石铸 Shih Chu); Christopher J. Humphries, Michael G. Gilbert Shrubs, subshrubs, or annual or perennial herbs, aromatic; indumentum of short biseriate glandular hairs (glands) and uniseriate simple, T-shaped or stellate hairs. Leaves alternate, rarely opposite, fasciculate or in basal rosettes, pinnatisect, pinnatifid, lobed, ser- rulate, serrate, or dentate, rarely entire, rarely succulent, base sometimes with stipulelike auricles (“pseudostipules”). Synflorescences mostly terminal, sometimes axillary, cymose or racemose, often paniculate, often flat-topped. Capitula heterogamous, with marginal female florets and central bisexual or male disk florets, or homogamous with only bisexual tubular florets. Phyllaries in 2–7 rows, overlapping, usually with scarious margin and apices. Receptacle paleate or epaleate, rarely pilose or hirsute. Marginal female florets radiate, or corollas tubular to filiform, often 2-toothed, or absent, and capitula disciform, fertile or sterile; corolla yellow or white, less often purplish, pink, orange, or red. Disk florets bisexual or male, tubular or funnel-shaped, usually yellow, rarely whitish, purplish, or red, usually 4- or 5-lobed. Anthers mostly rounded, rarely shortly tailed at base, apical appendage ovate or triangular to subulate. Pollen with or without spines. Style base slender or bulbous; style branches usually free (rarely fused in functionally male florets), usually linear, rarely wider, with apex truncate, penicillate. Achenes often obovoid, obconical, or cylindric, sometimes dorsiventrally flattened, apex rounded or truncate, true pappus absent, sometimes with a pappuslike corona of rather few scarious or bristlelike scales, or with an auricle, usually adaxial. About 110 genera and ca. 1,750 species: worldwide, mainly concentrated in C Asia, the Mediterranean region, and S Africa; 29 genera (two endemic, four introduced) and 364 species (138 endemic, ten introduced) in China. This tribe includes well-known vegetables (Glebionis carinata, G. coronaria, and G. s ege t um) and famous ornamental plants (most notably “Chrysanthemum grandiflorum”; see note under Chrysanthemum). Insecticides are extracted from some species (e.g., Tanacetum (Pyrethrum) cine- rariifolium). Other species are very important medicinally (e.g., Artemisia annua, the source of the important anti-malarial drug artemisinin) while some are significant forage plants in dry regions.

Handa) Abstract To diversify flower color and growth habit of marguerite (Argyranthemum frutescens), intergeneric crossing was carried out using marguerite as the seed parent and annual chrysanthemum (Glebionis carinatum) or crown daisy (G. coronaria) as the pollen parent. After cross-pollination, seedlings were successfully obtained by applying ovule culture. Ovule culture-derived plants showed novel characteristics in flower shape and color (orange, reddish brown, or wisteria pink) that are not observed in marguerite. Some also showed novel flowering habits such as perpetual flowering. The results indicate that these ovule culture-derived plants were intergeneric hybrids and that the hybrids obtained in the present study may be useful for further breeding of marguerite, especially for introducing valuable characteristics such as a wide range of flower color. Key words: Argyranthemum, Glebionis, intergeneric hybridization, ovule culture. Marguerite (Argyranthemum frutescens) is a perennial germplasm for the breeding of marguerite, but most of plant native to the Canary Islands, Spain (Bramwell et them have white flowers and diversity in flower color and al. 2001) and Madeira, Portugal (Press et al.

    Chamaemelum nobile Status Disc florets UK Biodiversity Action Plan Priority species. IUCN threat category: Vulnerable (2005). Ray florets Taxonomy Magnoliopsida: Asteraceae Scientific name: Chamaemelum nobile (L.) All. Receptacle Common names: Chamomile, Camri. Chamaemelum nobile (Anthemis nobilis L.) is one of the superficially similar group of plants often referred to as Mayweeds. Mayweeds usually have leaves divided into narrow segments and daisy-like heads with yellow disc florets in the centres and white ray florets outside (Figure 1). Chamaemelum nobile itself is not a variable species in the wild, though some populations are distinctive (Kay & John 1994) and there are many cultivars (the Leaves aromatic, latter rarely escape or persist in the wild). Once finely divided, known, it is easily recognised, but the distinctive and hairy well-known aroma of crushed leaves is similar to some Anthemis species. No hybrids are known.

  • Imprints of Independent Allopolyploid Formations On
    Chen et al. BMC Genomics (2021) 22:264 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-021-07566-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Imprints of independent allopolyploid formations on patterns of gene expression in two sibling yarrow species (Achillea, Asteraceae) Duo Chen1†, Peng-Cheng Yan2† and Yan-Ping Guo1* Abstract Background: Polyploid species often originate recurrently. While this is well known, there is little information on the extent to which distinct allotetraploid species formed from the same parent species differ in gene expression. The tetraploid yarrow species Achillea alpina and A. wilsoniana arose independently from allopolyploidization between diploid A. acuminata and A. asiatica. The genetics and geography of these origins are clear from previous studies, providing a solid basis for comparing gene expression patterns of sibling allopolyploid species that arose independently. Results: We conducted comparative RNA-sequencing analyses on the two Achillea tetraploid species and their diploid progenitors to evaluate: 1) species-specific gene expression and coexpression across the four species; 2) patterns of inheritance of parental gene expression; 3) parental contributions to gene expression in the allotetraploid species, and homeolog expression bias. Diploid A. asiatica showed a higher contribution than diploid A. acuminata to the transcriptomes of both tetraploids and also greater homeolog bias in these transcriptomes, possibly reflecting a maternal effect. Comparing expressed genes in the two allotetraploids, we found expression of ca. 30% genes were species-specific in each, which were most enriched for GO terms pertaining to “defense response”. Despite species-specific and differentially expressed genes between the two allotetraploids, they display similar transcriptome changes in comparison to their diploid progenitors.

Seventeen species and nothospecies are new records for the Crimea: Bupleurum veronense, Lemna turionifera, Typha austro-orientalis, Tyrimnus leucographus, × Agrotrigia hajastanica, Arctium × ambiguum, A. × mixtum, Potamogeton × angustifolius, P. × salicifolius (natives and archaeophytes); Bupleurum baldense, Campsis radicans, Clematis orientalis, Corispermum hyssopifolium, Halimodendron halodendron, Sagina apetala, Solidago gigantea, Ulmus pumila (aliens). Recently discovered Calystegia soldanella which was considered to be extinct in the Crimea is the most important confirmation of historical records. The Sevastopol area is one of the most floristically diverse areas of Eastern Europe with 1859 currently known species. Keywords: Crimea, checklist, local flora, taxonomy, new records A checklist of vascular plants recorded in the Sevastopol area was published seven years ago (Seregin 2008).

  • The Case of Artemisia Crithmifolia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae)
    CARYOLOGIA Vol. 62, no. 2: 152-160, 2009 Changes in genome size in a fragmented distribution area: the case of Artemisia crithmifolia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae). Pellicer Jaume1, Sònia Garcia2, Teresa Garnatje2 and Joan Vallès1* 1 Laboratori de Botànica, Facultat de Farmàcia, Universitat de Barcelona, Av.

Abstract — Artemisia crithmifolia is a hexaploid shrub which inhabits the coastal Atlantic sand dunes of Western Europe, from the Southern Iberian Peninsula to the Netherlands, reaching the British Isles. Genome size data of 45 populations of A. crithmifolia, covering its entire distribution area, were obtained using the flow cytometry method. The 2C nuclear DNA content in this species ranged from 14.27 to 15.72 pg, the mean value being 14.98 pg. A negative correlation between nuclear DNA amount and latitude has been found, and statistically significant differences between two groups resulting from the fragmentation of the distribution area were evidenced. Key words: 2C value, Compositae, dunes, flow cytometry, nuclear DNA amount. INTRODUCTION species occupies the maritime sands, principally at the back of the dunes in process of stabilization The genus Artemisia L. is one of the largest on the Northern Atlantic beaches, being part of of the Asteraceae, with more than 500 species two associations, Corynephoretum atlanticum and (OBERPRIELER et al. 2007). Different taxonomic Roseto-Ephedretum (KUHNZH O LTZ -LO RDAT 1927), rearrangements, based on morphological traits, which are closely related (VANDEN 1958). have been carried out, and five large subgenera Artemisia crithmifolia, a species from subgenus are considered at present (Absinthium DC., Ar- Dracunculus, presents capitula with glabrous re- temisia, Dracunculus Besser, Seriphidium Besser ceptacles, the outer florets female and the remain- and Tridentatae (Rydb.) McArthur).
