  • Differential Regulation of Symmetry Genes and the Evolution of Floral Morphologies

  • Study of Variegated and White Flower Petals of Capparis Spinosa Expanded at Dusk in Arid Landscapes
    Journal of Arid Land 2012, 4(2): 171−179 doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1227.2012.00171 Science Press jal.xjegi.com; www.chinasciencejournal.com Study of variegated and white flower petals of Capparis spinosa expanded at dusk in arid landscapes Chrysanthi CHIMONA1, Avra STAMELLOU2, Apostolos ARGIROPOULOS1, Sophia RHIZOPOULOU1∗ 1 Department of Botany, Faculty of Biology, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens 15781, Greece; 2 Department of Botany, School of Biology, Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki 54124, Greece Abstract: In this study, we provide the first evidence of two pairs of petals of the rapidly expanded and short-lived nocturnal flowers of Capparis spinosa L. (caper) during the prolonged drought period in Eastern Mediterranean region. The corolla of the winter-deciduous, perennial C. spinosa consists of two pairs of petals: a pair of white dis- tinct petals and a pair of connate variegated petals with green basal parts. The results indicated the presence of substantially different amounts of chlorophyll in the two pairs of petals, while their carbohydrates’ content is com- parable with that of the green sepals. High resolution imaging of petal surfaces of short-lived flowers of C. spinosa, obtained by using scanning electron microscopy, revealed stomata on the adaxial epidermis on both the white and the green parts of the variegated petals; while dense hairs were found on the surface of the abaxial green parts of the variegated petals. Adaxial, epidermal cells of the variegated petals, viewed using atomic force microscopy, pos- sess a submicron, cuticular microfolding that differs between the white and the green parts of the petals.

  • Key to the Common Flowering Plant Families of the Methow
    A Key to the Common Flowering Plant Families of the Methow by Dana Visalli/The Methow Naturalist/www.methownaturalist.com/[email protected] 5.11 version Note: This worksheet is a tool to assist in learning some of the distinguishing characteristics of the major plant families in the Methow Valley and in central Washington. The one-line entry below for each family presents some of the most salient characters of that family. As a key, this worksheet will work well about 75% of the time. To use the key, first determine whether the plant in question is a monocot or a dicot (the distinction is illustrated below). Within the monocot or dicot groups, work through the statements made in bold that share the same number (e.g. 2a, 2b, 2c) until the plant in question fits the description, then move to next set of numbers (3a, 3b etc). Once you arrive at a grouping of families, work through the family characters one family at a time until you find the one that matches the plant in hand. The first entry below under Dicots, Flowers very small, is an effort to ferret out some of the very small flowers early in the key. Most of the families in this category have species with larger flowers as well, and are keyed again elsewhere. The Aster Family is keyed in this “flowers very small” group because the flower heads in this family are made up of a composite group of very small flowers or “florets.” Monocots have leaves with parallel veins and flowers with their sepals Dicots have have leaves with veins usually forming a branching pattern and petals numbering three each, or multiples of three (like six).

  • Morphology and Vascular Anatomy of the Flower of Angophora Intermedia
    © Landesmuseum für Kärnten; download www.landesmuseum.ktn.gv.at/wulfenia; www.biologiezentrum.at Wulfenia 13 (2006): 11–19 Mitteilungen des Kärntner Botanikzentrums Klagenfurt Morphology and vascular anatomy of the fl ower of Angophora intermedia DC. (Myrtaceae) with special emphasis on the innervation of the fl oral axis Sergey A. Volgin & Anastasiya Stepanova Summary: A peculiar receptacle structure in Angophora intermedia DC. (Myrtaceae) has been determined by a vascular-anatomical method. The vascular system of the fl ower of A. intermedia consists of numerous ascending bundles and girdling bundles in the hypanthium and the inferior ovary wall. In the central column of the trilocular ovary we found a dense conical plexus of vascular bundles supplying the placentae (infralocular plexus). It is connected with ascending bundles of the receptacle in the ovary base. In its central part it contains “hanged” bundles and blind bundles, so it seems to be a residual stele of a rudimentary fl oral apex. Thus, the receptacle ofA. intermedia is toroidal at the level of fl oral organs and conical above the carpel node. Keywords: Angophora intermedia, Myrtaceae, fl ower morphology, vascular system, fl oral axis, innervation, anatomy The fl oral development in different species of Myrtaceae has been studied precisely to elucidate the homology of the inferior ovary, hypanthium, operculate perianth and stamens of the polymerous androecium (PAYER 1857; MAYR 1969; BUNNIGER 1972; DRINNAN & LADIGES 1988; RONSE DECRAENE & SMETS 1991; ORLOVICH et al. 1996). Developmental and histogenetical studies have shown, that the receptacle in the fl ower of Myrtaceae is cup-like and take part to certain extent in the formation of the inferior ovary wall and the hypanthium (PAYER 1857; BUNNIGER 1972; RONSE DECRAENE & SMETS 1991).

  • Flower Parts Diagram
    Parts of a Simple Flower Wild Geranium, Geranium maculatum Petal Pistil Stamen Sepal Pistil Stamen Stigma Style Anther Ovary Filament Definitions: Sepals - The outermost part of the flower, often green but sometimes looking like petals, that usually enclose the flower bud before it opens. Petals – The inner ring of the flower that tend to be brightly colored and often function to attract pollinators. Stamen – The male part of the flower that serves to produce pollen; it is composed of the pollen-bearing anther and the stalk-like filament. Pistil – The female part of the flower that typically consists of the stigma at the top which receives the pollen, the narrow style, and the ovary which contains ovules that will later develop into seeds. Parts of a Composite Flower Green and Gold, Chrysogonum virginianum Ray Flowers Disk Flowers Pistil Ligule Anther tube Fused petals Pistil Ovary Notes: Composite flowers can be made of all ray flowers that look like the petals of a ”normal” flower (e.g. dandelions), all small knobby disk flowers (e.g. thistles), or both types (like this one, Green and Gold). The single petal on a ray flower is called a ligule. On both ray and disk flowers, the pollen-producing anthers are typically fused together into a tube; on a disk flower, the petals are also typically fused. The pistil, commonly with two curling lobes, emerges as each disk or ray flower matures. In Green and Gold, the ray flowers are lacking stamens (pistillate)..

  • Structural Profile of the Pea Or Bean Family
    Florida ECS Quick Tips July 2016 Structural Profile of the Pea or Bean Family The Pea Family (Fabaceae) is the third largest family of flowering plants, with approximately 750 genera and over 19,000 known species. (FYI – the Orchid Family is the largest plant family and the Aster Family ranks second in number of species.) I am sure that you are all familiar with the classic pea flower (left). It, much like the human body, is bilaterally symmetrical and can be split from top to bottom into two mirror-image halves. Botanists use the term zygomorphic when referring to a flower shaped like this that has two different sides. Zygomorphic flowers are different than those of a lily, which are radially symmetrical and can be split into more than two identical sections. (These are called actinomorphic flowers.) Pea flowers are made up of five petals that are of different sizes and shapes (and occasionally different colors as well). The diagram at right shows a peanut (Arachis hypogaea) flower (another member of the Pea Family), that identifies the various flower parts. The large, lobed petal at the top is called the banner or standard. Below the banner are a pair of petals called the wings. And, between the wings, two petals are fused together to form the keel, which covers the male and female parts of the flower. Because of the resemblance to a butterfly, pea flowers are called papilionaceous (from Latin: papilion, a butterfly). However, there is group of species in the Pea Family (a subfamily) with flowers like the pride-of-Barbados or peacock flower (Caesalpinia pulcherrima) shown to the left.
