Comparative Anatomy of the Seeds of Monotropastrum Humile and Monotropa Uniflora (Monotropoideae, Ericaceae) J. Jpn. Bot. 93(3): 147–154 (2018) Comparative Anatomy of the Seeds of Monotropastrum humile and Monotropa uniflora (Monotropoideae, Ericaceae) Chiharu UGAJIN and Yasuhiko ENDO* Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Ibaraki University, 2-1-1, Bunkyo, Mito, 310-8512 JAPAN *Corresponding author: [email protected] (Accepted on November 27, 2017) A comparative anatomical study on the endozoochorous seeds of Monotropastrum humile (D. Don) H. Hara in comparison to the wind-dispersed seeds of Monotropa uniflora L. was conducted. The endozoochorous seeds were ovoid and had lignin-rich cell walls. These cell walls were six times thicker than those of wind-dispersed seeds. The ovoid seed was hypothesized to be an ancestral characteristic of the subfamily Monotropoideae (family Ericaceae). The evolution from the ancestral character state to the derived state (seeds having wing-like seed coats) was presumed to have happened four times independently in the subfamily. Key words: Endozoochory, lignin, Monotropastrum humile, Monotropa uniflora, seed coat, wind dispersal. The subfamily Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) crickets eat the berry and excrete the undigested is composed of 13 species, which are seeds as part of their feces, which then germinate achlorophyllous epiparasitic plants, and are (Suetsugu 2014, 2017). This type of seed classified into 10 genera (Wallace 1987, Qin and dispersal is called endozoochory (Cochrane et al. Wallace 2005). These plants have fine seeds, and 2005). their fruits are berries in five genera and capsules In recent moleculer phylogenetic studies in five genera (Wallace 1975).

  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page.

  • Final Report
    Report: Les Mehrhoff Botanical Research Award, 2019 Testing the influence of land-use history and forest stand age on the distribution and abundance of parasitic plants at multiple scales Marion Andrews Holmes Background The herbaceous layer makes up over 80% of the plant biodiversity in Eastern Forests and includes a wide variety of life history adaptations (Spicer et al. 2020). Some species found on the forest floor do not conduct photosynthesis, but rather obtain carbon from other organisms. The category of non-photosynthetic plants includes both parasitic species and saprophytes, or plants that feed on dead material. Parasitic relationships may be formed with other vascular plant species or through mycoheterotrophy, a form of parasitism in which species obtain carbon through networks of mycorrhizal fungi (Furman and Trappe 1971, Bidartondo 2005, Leake and Cameron 2010). Some parasites of vascular plants also require the presence of fungal partners for successful establishment (Baird and Riopel 1986). Parasitic plants contribute to ground-layer biodiversity, support wildlife (Johnson et al. 1995), and are a useful model system for testing the influence of host and symbiont- limitation in forest succession. Most deciduous forest in Eastern North America and Northern Europe is second-growth that has regrown after clearance for agriculture and subsequent abandonment (Williams 1989, Hermy and Verheyen 2007). It is therefore necessary to place our understanding of forest ecology in the context of land-use history (Foster et al. 2003). Land-use legacies shape the structure and composition of modern forests, and their effects may last for centuries (Motzkin et al. 1996, Dupouey et al.

  • Pigment Composition of Putatively Achlorophyllous Angiosperms
    Plant Pl. Syst. Evol. 210:105-111 (1998) Systematics and Evolution © Springer-Verlag 1998 Printed in Austria Pigment composition of putatively achlorophyllous angiosperms MICHAEL P. CUMMINGS and NICHOLAS A. WELSCHMEYER Received August 15, 1996; in revised version February 10, 1997 Key words: Angiospermae, Lennoaceae, Monotropaceae, Orobanchaceae, Orchidaceae. - Chlorophyll, carotenoid, pigment, high-performance liquid chromatography. Abstract: Chlorophyll and carotenoid pigment composition was determined for ten species of putatively achlorophyllous angiosperms using high-performance liquid chromatography. Four families were represented: Lennoaceae (Pholisma arenarium); Monotropaceae (Allotropa virgata, Monotropa uniflora, Pterospora andromedea, Sarcodes sanguinea); Orobanchaceae (Epifagus virginiana, Orobanche cooperi, O. unißora); Orchidaceae (Cephalanthera austinae, Corallorhiza maculata). Chlorophyll a was detected in all taxa, but chlorophyll b was only detected in Corallorhiza maculata. The relative amount of chlorophyll and chlorophyll-related pigments in these plants is greatly reduced compared to fully autotrophic angiosperms. One of the most conspicuous features of plants is green coloration conferred by the presence of the pigment chlorophyll. However achlorophyllous plants, as their name implies, are thought to lack chlorophyll and other pigments associated with photosynthesis. This lack of chlorophyll is thought to be associated with the nonphotosynthetic habit, and hence the completely heterotrophic nature of holoparasites

Our results suggest that at least two photosyn - thetic plants ( Tsuga and Acer ) are the potential carbon source of the system and that Pterospora is specifically associated with an unidentified species of subgenus Amylopogon of Rhizopogon . Previ - ous studies have shown that seed germination of Pterospora relies on chemical cues from the fungus, implying a dominant role of the fungus in the system. Our field observations suggest that repeated branching of Pterospora roots increases the mass production of the fungal mycelia and lead us to speculate that Pterospora may be a mutualistic partner, not a parasite or exploiter, in the mycorrhizal system. KEYWORDS: Pterospora , nrDNA ITS, rbc L, mutualism, mycorrhizal, subgenus Amylopogon , Rhizopogon . Pterospora andromedea Torr. (pine-drops) is a mycoheterotrophic plant rely - ing on fungal host for germination, growth, and development (Bakshi 1959 ). Molecular studies have shown its close relationship with other myco - heterotrophic plants in Ericaceae such as Monotropa , Allotropa , and Sarcodes (Cullings 1994 ; Kron et al. 2002 ). Pine-drops show a disjunct distribution between the eastern and western North America with an extension in the west to northern Mexico (Bakshi 1959 ).

    National Institute for Basic Biology Environmental Biology DIVISION OF PLANT DEVELOPMENTAL GENETICS (ADJUNCT) complemented all known morphological phenotypes caused by an-1 mutation in Arabidopsis, suggesting that the AN function is conserved between angiosperms and gymnosperms (Li et al. 2008). Furthermore, our detailed Professor (Adjunct) analysis of intracellular localization suggested that AN have TSUKAYA, Hirokazu a unique role (or roles) in Golgi-related functions. Further Assistant Professor YAMAGUCHI, Takahiro analyses of AN functions are ongoing. Postdoctoral Fellows ISHIKAWA, Naoko On the other hand, constitutive over-expression of deletion USAMI, Takeshi series of ROT4 revealed that a 32-amino-acid core region is YANO, Satoshi enough to exhibit the ROT4 function when over-expressed. Visiting Scientists GOTOH, Ayako ICHIHASHI, Yasunori 1-2 Evolution of establishment mechanisms of leaf NAKAYAMA, Hokuto polarities in monocots TAKASE, Masahide Technical Assistants YAMAGUCHI, Chinami We have recently started to attempt an understanding of the NAGURA, Masako genetic basis of the development of unifacial leaves that are KADOWAKI, Tamaka known only from monocot clades. Our analyses indicated Secretary KOJIMA, Yoko that the unifacial character might be due to overall changes in all polarities around leaves (i.e. adaxial-abaxial, distal- proximal, and central-lateral polarities). Moreover, the The leaf is the fundamental unit of the shoot system, which genetic controls of leaf polarities were revealed to differ, at is composed of the leaf and stem. The diversity of plant least in part, between eudicot and rice, a monocot model forms is mostly attributable to variation of leaf and floral species. Understanding the differences in the genetic organs, which are modified leaves.
