  • Floraguard: Tackling the Illegal Trade in Endangered Plants In
    FloraGuard Tackling the illegal trade in endangered plants Foreword 1 Foreword The word poaching may not be readily associated with plants, yet illegal collection from the wild poses a direct threat to many of the world’s most iconic plant species such as orchids, cacti and cycads. In recent decades, the trade in illegal live specimens, along with other plant products, has spilled onto the internet, providing illegal traders with a means of reaching a global consumer base, while remaining cloaked in the anonymity and vast scale of cyberspace. Yet the adopting of online technology by wildlife traffickers also presents opportunities to map, understand and counteract this trade. The recent global report from the Intergovernmental Science- Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) identified that direct exploitation of organisms – in which illegal wildlife trade plays a central role – is one of the most impactful drivers of change in nature, second only to changes in land and sea use. Species exploitation is even more damaging to biodiversity than climate change. Safeguarding the natural world against this threat requires innovative approaches and effective collaborations. Led by the University of Southampton and partnered with UK Border Force and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the FloraGuard study took a new approach to meeting this challenge. The study’s findings encompass insights into the criminological mindset of plant traffickers, the use of botanical expertise to identify suspicious online posts and the potential application of cutting-edge artificial intelligence techniques. This level of cross-disciplinarity illustrates the range of expertise involved in the project and the scope for further innovation that exists within the field of online trade enforcement.

    BOTANICAL MUSEUM LEAFLETS HARVARD UNIVERSITY Cambridge, Massachusetts, November 19, 1937 Vol. 5, No. 5 PEYOTE (LOPHOPHORA WILLIAMSII) AND PLANTS CONFUSED WITH IT BY Richard Evans Schultes A state of great confusion exists at the present time in the ethnobotany of peyote. This is due partly to long and close association of peyote (Lophophora Williamsii (Lemaire) Coulter) with other plants in religious and ther- apeutic uses and partly to fragmentary and conflicting records of the use of the narcotic plants of Mexico in the early centuries after Spanish settlement of the country. As a result of this confusion, ethnological and other in- vestigations of the narcotic cactus are greatly hindered by widespread ambiguity in plant names. A clear under- standing of the complex of plants associated or confused with Lophophora Williamsii is absolutely essential to the further progress of anthropological investigation of the ever-increasing peyote-cult of the United States. 1 I. Common names of Lophophora Williamsii.'2 The variety of common names which refer to Lopho- phora Williamsii in the United States and Mexico is so great as to demand thorough consideration of the etymol- ogy, use, and significance of each name. Moreover, such treatment may be of value in bringing attention to cer- tain otherwise hidden facts attendant upon the aboriginal Footnotes will be found on pa^es 78-80 [61] use or upon the ethnobotanical relationships of the cactus with other economic plants. /. Peyote. Lophopkora Williamm is most commonly called pe- yote. This is the Spanish form of the ancient Nahuatlan peyotl. It is variously spelled: piote, piotU pcotc, pqjote % pent >t , peltote, pezote, and peyori.

  • Tissue Localization of Betacyanins in Cactus Stems
    Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad 83: 413-420, 2012 Tissue localization of betacyanins in cactus stems Localización de betacianinas en tejido del tallo de cactus Alessandro Mosco Department of Life Sciences, University of Trieste, Via Licio Giorgieri 5 I-34127 Trieste, Italy. [email protected] Abstract. Betalains are soluble pigments found only in the suborder Chenopodiniae, while in all other Angiospermae they are replaced by anthocyanins. The convergent evolution of the presence of anthocyanins and betalains in vegetative tissues supports the hypothesis of a similar function, based on the absorption properties of these pigments. The screening effect of anthocyanins results in the reduction of the amount of photoinhibition. Betalains, being the anthocyanin counterpart in most families of Caryophyllales, were also suggested to have a screening role. This study is aimed at identifying in which Cactaceae stem tissues betacyanins, reddish to violet betalain pigments, accumulate. Stem accumulation of betacyanins was observed in cacti both in their natural habitat and in cultivation. The localization of betacyanins was assessed by light microscope studies on tubercle transverse sections. During 2 field trips in distinct years to the Mexican plateau in March, many cactus species, belonging to different genera, were observed displaying a reddish stem. Light microscope studies on cultivated plants showed that betacyanins accumulate in the hypodermis and in the outer layers of the chlorenchyma, where they may act as a screen, thus protecting the photosystems present in the underlying chlorenchyma, and have a possible antioxidant function in the cortex. Key words: betacyanins, cacti, epidermis, hypodermis. Resumen. Las betalaínas son pigmentos solubles que se encuentran sólo en el suborden Chenopodiniae, mientras que en el resto de Angiospermae, lo que existe son antocianinas.

A taxonomic backbone at the genus level is provided that reflects the current state of knowledge and accepts 749 genera for the order. A detailed review of the literature of the past two decades shows that enormous progress has been made in understanding overall phylogenetic relationships in Caryophyllales. The process of re-circumscribing families in order to be monophyletic appears to be largely complete and has led to the recognition of eight new families (Anacampserotaceae, Kewaceae, Limeaceae, Lophiocarpaceae, Macarthuriaceae, Microteaceae, Montiaceae and Talinaceae), while the phylogenetic evaluation of generic concepts is still well underway. As a result of this, the number of genera has increased by more than ten percent in comparison to the last complete treatments in the Families and genera of vascular plants” series. A checklist with all currently accepted genus names in Caryophyllales, as well as nomenclatural references, type names and synonymy is presented. Notes indicate how extensively the respective genera have been studied in a phylogenetic context.
