This study investigates the comparative floral development of 15 species to understand the basis for evolutionary changes in the perianth, Downloaded from androecium and carpels and to provide additional characters for phylogenetic investigation. † Methods Floral ontogeny of 15 species from 12 genera is examined and described using scanning electron microscopy. † Key Results Initiation of the three perianth whorls is either helical or unidirectional. Merism is mostly trimer- ous, occasionally tetramerous and the members of the inner perianth whorl may be missing or are in double pos- ition. The androecium and the gynoecium were found to be variable in organ numbers (from highly polymerous http://aob.oxfordjournals.org/ to a fixed number, six in the androecium and one or two in the gynoecium). Initiation of the androecium starts invariably with three pairs of stamen primordia along the sides of the hexagonal floral apex. Although inner sta- minodes were not observed, they were reported in other genera and other families of Magnoliales, except Magnoliaceae and Myristicaceae.

Invasion can also interact with other elements of global change, such as human-mediated disturbances and climate change. Therefore, understanding the responses of invasive species to disturbance and climate change is crucial both for predicting future invasion risks, and in order to develop appropriate management strategies for the future. Using both experimental and theoretical approaches, I examined invasions of two congeneric thistles, Carduus nutans and C. acanthoides in the context of disturbance and climate change. I aimed to assess the invasion potential of these two species under different disturbance regimes (specifically, different levels of intensity, frequency, and timing of mowing) and under projected climates for the future (specifically, increased temperature and increased precipitation). My disturbance results underline the importance of considering multiple aspects of disturbance in invasion studies, as interactions and interdependence of these aspects may lead to complex outcomes and potentially counter-intuitive conclusions (Chapter 2).

In: Reproductive Morphology in Annonaceae. 1-28 Early floral developmental©Akademie d. Wissenschaften studies Wien; download in unter Annonaceae www.biologiezentrum.at Peter LEINS and Claudia Erba r Abstract: In theAnnonaceae the perianth mostly consists of three trimerous whorls, with a slight tendency to a spiral sequence of their members. The androecium and the gynoecium are variable in the number of their organs (high polymery to low, fixed numbers). In this study the early development of polymerous androecia is investigated Artabotrysin hexapetalus andAnnona montana. In these species the androecia begin their development with six stamens in the comers of a hexagonal floral apex. This early developmental pattem resembles that in someAristolochiaceae andAlismatales. Not only in this respect but also because of other important features theAnnonaceae may be regarded as closely related to these two groups, but as more archaic. The carpels in the mostly choricarpous gynoecia areconduplicate (not peltate) or very rarely (Cananga) slightly peltate. The gynoecium ofMonodora consists of a single, clearly peltate carpel with a very peculiar laminal placentation (the ovules are inserted in seven double rows). This unusual condition can be interpreted as the expression sequentialof two genetical programs during development: the program for a single carpel and that for a pluricarpellate gynoecium(Simulation of a syncarpous gynoecium). Introduction - Morphology of the adult flowers The familiy Annonaceae, with about 130 genera and 2300 species by far the largest family of the Magnoliales, makes up about three-fourths of the order (CRONQUIST 1981).

    ANNONACEAE 番荔枝科 fan li zhi ke Li Bingtao (李秉滔 Li Ping-tao)1; Michael G. Gilbert2 Trees, shrubs, or climbers, wood and leaves often aromatic; indument of simple or less often (Uvaria, Annona) stellate hairs. Leaves alternate, normally distichous. Stipules absent. Petiole usually short; leaf blade simple, venation pinnate, margin entire. Inflo- rescences terminal, axillary, leaf-opposed, or extra-axillary [rarely on often underground suckerlike shoots]. Flowers usually bisex- ual, less often unisexual, solitary, in fascicles, glomerules, panicles, or cymes, sometimes on older wood, usually bracteate and/or bracteolate. Sepals hypogynous, [2 or]3, imbricate or valvate, persistent or deciduous, rarely enlarging and enclosing fruit, free or basally connate. Petals hypogynous, 3–6(–12), most often in 2 whorls of 3 or in 1 whorl of 3 or 4[or 6], imbricate or valvate, some- times outer whorl valvate and inner slightly imbricate. Stamens hypogynous, usually many, rarely few, spirally imbricate, in several series; filaments very short and thick; anther locules 2, contiguous or separate, rarely transversely locular, adnate to connective, extrorse or lateral, very rarely introrse, opening by a longitudinal slit; connectives often apically enlarged, usually ± truncate, often overtopping anther locules, rarely elongated or not produced. Carpels few to many, rarely solitary, free or less often connate into a 1- locular ovary with parietal placentas; ovules 1 or 2 inserted at base of carpel or 1 to several in 1 or 2 ranks along ventral suture, anatropous; styles short, thick, free or rarely connate; stigmas capitate to oblong, sometimes sulcate or 2-lobed. Fruit usually apocarpous with 1 to many free monocarps, these sometimes moniliform (constricted between seeds when more than 1-seeded), often fleshy, indehiscent, rarely dehiscent (Anaxagorea, Xylopia), and often with base extended into stipe, rarely on slender carpo- phore (Disepalum), less often syncarpous with carpels completely connate and seeds irregularly arranged and sometimes embedded in fleshy pulp.

The Annonaceae is a large family of trees, shrubs and climbers consisting of about 109 genera and 2440 species. This family has important economic value for fresh fruit, cosmetics and perfumes, timber, traditional medicines, processed foods and beverages, insecticides, and ornamental plants. It also has an important role in forest ecosystems and in environmental management, as a key habitat organism. Despite its many uses, the family has not received special attention, and many of its species have been forgotten. Therefore, efforts are required to conserve the Annonaceae. Conservation of the Annonaceae depends upon ex-situ as well as in-situ methods. Conservation by ex situ approaches is considered effective because it can save from extinction species that are rare, endemic or of as yet recognized, unknown usefulness.The research reported in this paper aimed to determine Annonaceae diversity in Bogor Botanic Gardens (BBG), West Java, Indonesia as well as its current and potential utilization, with a view to developing ways of ensuring preservation of the collection within the Gardens.

Based on sep- arate and combined analyses of a morphological matrix (115 characters) and multiple molecular data sets (seven variable chloroplast loci and five more conserved genes; 14 536 aligned nucleotides), phylogenetic relationships were investigated simultaneously within Magnoliales and Myristicaceae, using Laurales, Winterales, and Piperales as outgroups. Despite apparent conflicts among data sets, parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses of combined data converged towards a fully resolved and well-supported topology, consistent with higher-level molecular analyses except for the position of Magnoliaceae: Myristicaceae + (Magnoliaceae + ((Degeneria + Galbulimima) + (Eupomatia + Annonaceae))).
