Passeig del Migdia s/n. 08028 Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain) VERSION 2.0 UPDATED 23/IV/2016 Abstract. A new version of the earlier chromosome database of tribe Delphinieae (Simon, J., M. Bosch, J. Molero & C. Blanché. 1999. A conspect of chromosome numbers in tribe Delphinieae (Ranunculaceae). Biodiversity Electronic Publications, 1 [Available online at http://hdl.handle.net/2445/95875]) is presented, after an accurate extensive literature and Internet survey, by adding the chromosome counts for the genera Aconitum L. (including Gymnaconitum (Stapf) Wei Wang & Z. D. Chen), Delphinium L. (including Staphisagria Spach), Consolida (DC.) S.F. Gray and Aconitella Spach, accumulated in the last 17 years. A total number of 2598 reports are presented, belonging to 389 species, representing a 44.5% of the total species number of the tribe (an increase of c. 137% compared with the 1097 reports gathered in the 1999 version). This increase is due both to chromosome research progress (analysed as counts/year) and an improved information capture system (including checking of populations location through Cyrillic alphabet, and Japanese and Chinese writing systems). Additionally, recent taxonomic advances, synonimization and new phylogenetic criteria have also been taken in account. The main basic number x = 8 is found at 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, and 8x ploidy levels, whereas x = 9 is much rarer.
  • Phylogenetic Insight Into Subgenera Idaeobatus and Malachobatus

    Phylogenetic Insight Into Subgenera Idaeobatus and Malachobatus

    Wang et al. Molecular Cytogenetics (2015) 8:11 DOI 10.1186/s13039-015-0114-y RESEARCH Open Access Phylogenetic insight into subgenera Idaeobatus and Malachobatus (Rubus, Rosaceae) inferring from ISH analysis Yan Wang1, Xiaorong Wang1,2*, Qing Chen1, Li Zhang1, Haoru Tang1, Ya Luo1 and Zejing Liu1 Abstract Background: Rubus is a large and taxonomically complex genus exhibiting agamospermy, polyploidy and frequent hybridization. The objective of this work was to elucidate rDNA disrtibution pattern and investigate genomic composition of polyploids in 16 Rubus taxa (2n =2x,3x,4x,8x) of two subgenera Idaeobatus and Malachobatus by ISH method. Results: The basic Rubus genome had one 45S rDNA locus, and all the polyploids (except R. setchuenensis) had the expected multiples of this number. Diploid and tetraploid Rubus taxa carried two 5S rDNA, whereas the triploid and octoploid species only had three. The duplicated 45S rDNA sites tended to be conserved, whereas those of 5S rDNA tended to be eliminated after polyploidization. The accession R03-20 was an autotriploid R. parvifolius, while R03-27 and R03-57 were naturally-occurred triploid hybrids between R. parvifolius and R. coreanus. GISH results suggested that R. parvifolius had close relationship with polyploids from Malachobatus. Conclusions: The polyploids from Malachobatus were probable allopolyploid. In addition, Rubus parvifolius might be involved in hybridization, polyploidization and speciation of some Idaeobatus and Malachobatus species. Keywords: Rubus, Allopolyploid, Hybrid, rDNA-FISH, GISH Background complex, with tetraploidy, hexaploidy, octoploidy or tetra- Rubus Linnaeus (Rosaceae) has long been deemed taxo- decaploidy level [6,11,12].

Designed by: Sarah Craig, Word Jones © Copyright 2012 A Guide to Priority Plant and Animal Species in Oregon Forests Oregonians care about forest-dwelling wildlife and plants. This revised and updated publication is designed to assist forest landowners, land managers, students and educators in understanding how forests provide habitat for different wildlife and plant species. Keeping forestland in forestry is a great way to mitigate habitat loss resulting from development, mining and other non-forest uses. Through the use of specific forestry techniques, landowners can maintain, enhance and even create habitat for birds, mammals and amphibians while still managing lands for timber production.

    MOUNTAIN PLANTS OF NORTHEASTERN UTAH Original booklet and drawings by Berniece A. Andersen and Arthur H. Holmgren Revised May 1996 HG 506 FOREWORD In the original printing, the purpose of this manual was to serve as a guide for students, amateur botanists and anyone interested in the wildflowers of a rather limited geographic area. The intent was to depict and describe over 400 common, conspicuous or beautiful species. In this revision we have tried to maintain the intent and integrity of the original. Scientific names have been updated in accordance with changes in taxonomic thought since the time of the first printing. Some changes have been incorporated in order to make the manual more user-friendly for the beginner. The species are now organized primarily by floral color. We hope that these changes serve to enhance the enjoyment and usefulness of this long-popular manual. We would also like to thank Larry A. Rupp, Extension Horticulture Specialist, for critical review of the draft and for the cover photo. Linda Allen, Assistant Curator, Intermountain Herbarium Donna H. Falkenborg, Extension Editor Utah State University Extension is an affirmative action/equal employment opportunity employer and educational organization.

This is a commercially marketed species; therefore, adding working weights and a pure seed unit definition to the AOSA Rules will standardize seed testing procedures among laboratories. The proposal includes reclassification of the species classis from ‘weed’ to ‘range and revegetation’ and from ‘weed’ to ‘other crop’ as the contaminating classification under ‘range and revegetation.’ Supporting Evidence: Slender cinquefoil is a tufted native perennial growing from a short thick rhizome. This member of the rose family (Rosaceae) is composed of a taxonomically challenging complex of botanical varieties found in a wide variety of habitats from Baja California to Alaska in the west and eastward through the northern Great Plains and Great Lakes Basin and Quebec.

    RESOLVING THE ANOMALY OF LOMATIUM ANOMALUM: DISCOVERY OF A NEW SPECIES IN SOUTHWESTERN IDAHO (U.S.A.), LOMATIUM ANDRUSIANUM (APIACEAE) Mckayla Stevens, Donald H. Mansfield James F. Smith The College of Idaho Boise State University 2112 Cleveland Blvd. 1910 W. University Drive Caldwell, Idaho 83605, U.S.A. Boise, Idaho 83725, U.S.A. Mary Ann E. Feist University of Wisconsin-Madison 430 Lincoln Drive Madison, Wisconsin 53706, U.S.A. ABSTRACT Apparent polyphyly within the unresolved clade of Lomatium (Apiaceae) containing L. triternatum, L. anomalum, L. thompsonii, and L. pack- ardiae suggests conflict among current taxonomic classification schemes. To recover this clade and more clearly define species boundaries, we examined populations of L. anomalum from three geographic regions in Idaho and adjacent Oregon. Using phylogenetic, morphological, and ecological data, we conclude that the L. anomalum complex currently circumscribes multiple species. Phylogenetic analysis of the nuclear ribosomal ITS and ETS, and cpDNA rpl32-trnLUAG, rps-16 intron, trnD-trnT, ndhA intron, and psbA-trnH recovered populations from the Boise foothills as a distinct, monophyletic clade. Principal Components Analysis of 30 reproductive and vegetative characters show two distinct groups: one of Boise foothills and one of the combined Mann Creek and Camas Prairie vicinities. Principal Components Analysis of 16 soil characteristics show that soils occupied by Boise foothills populations are distinct from those occupied by Mann Creek and Camas Prairie populations. Based on phylogenetic, morphometric, and ecologic criteria, populations of what had been considered L. anomalum from the Boise foothills and vicinity are here described as a new species—Lomatium andrusianum.
