Su importancia radica en que constituye una de las principales fuentes de cardenólidos, fármacos irreemplazables en el tratamiento de la insuficiencia cardíaca. El presente trabajo se realizó con el objetivo de estudiar diferentes estrategias biotecnológicas en Digitalis purpurea L. que permitirán disponer de la base metodológica para el desarrollo de una tecnología para la producción in vitro de cardenólidos. Para su cumplimiento se desarrolló un método de producción de biomasa en sistemas de inmersión temporal (SIT), se determinó el efecto de elicitores en el contenido de cardenólidos y se desarrolló un protocolo para la transformación genética mediado por Agrobacterium tumefaciens. La mayor producción de biomasa por SIT (104,03 gMF y 5,74 gMS) se obtuvo cuando se inocularon 12 explantes. La frecuencia de inmersión influyó en la producción de biomasa y de cardenólidos en los brotes. En el tratamiento con inmersiones cada 4 horas se obtuvo la mayor producción de biomasa y producción neta de cardenólidos por SIT (digitoxina 167,6 µg y digoxina 119,9 µg). La renovación adicional de la atmósfera interna en los SIT, como otro factor evaluado, indujo un mayor estrés oxidativo asociado a un aumento de la síntesis de digitoxina. Estos resultados permitieron realizar el escalado en SIT de 5L de capacidad y diseñar un esquema de producción como estrategia para la obtención de cardenólidos in vitro. Por otra parte, se demostró que la elicitación es una estrategia posible para el incremento de cardenólidos en brotes de D. purpurea. El SilioPlant® (0,01 g.L-1) incrementó la síntesis de cardenólidos en los brotes multiplicados in vitro en 3,6 y 6,9 veces el contenido de digoxina y digitoxina respectivamente, en comparación con el control. Se desarrolló un protocolo para la transformación genética con la cepa de A. tumefaciens C58C1RifR (pMP90) con el vector de transformación pTJK136. La presencia de los transgenes fue detectada mediante PCR y la hibridación por Southern en las líneas regeneradas. El número de insertos del nptII osciló entre una y dos. En el futuro, se requerirá de estudios relacionados con los mecanismos de síntesis de cardenólidos e identificación de enzimas específicas que permitan un incremento en la eficiencia de las alternativas estudiadas.

  • In Vitro Propagation of Digitalis Trojana Ivanina., an Endemic Medicinal Plant of Turkey Nurşen Çördük and Cüneyt Aki
    Chapter In Vitro Propagation of Digitalis trojana Ivanina., an Endemic Medicinal Plant of Turkey Nurşen Çördük and Cüneyt Aki Abstract Digitalis trojana Ivanina is a member of the Plantaginaceae family and known by its common name, Helen of Troy foxglove. It is perennial endemic to Çanakkale and Balıkesir, northwestern Turkey. In order to develop an efficient shoot regen- eration protocol, the leaf explants of D. trojana were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 6-benzyl adenine (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0 mg/L) and α-naphthalene acetic acid (0.1, 0.5, 1.0 mg/L), 3% (w/v) sucrose and 0.8% (w/v) agar. The highest number of regenerated shoots was obtained from leaf explants that were cultured on MS medium with 3.0 mg/L BA+0.1 mg/L NAA. Regenerated shoots were rooted on MS medium without plant growth regulators. Rooted plants (2–3 cm) were separately transferred to pots containing a mixture of peat and perlite (2:1 v/v) and acclimatized successfully in a growth chamber. Keywords: endemic, foxglove, in vitro, propagation, regeneration 1. Introduction Turkey has a rich biodiversity as a result of its location, its geological struc- ture and different climatic zones. Turkey hosts three biogeographical regions: Mediterranean, Euro-Siberian and Irano-Turanian. As a result of located on the meeting point of these three different regions, Turkey is one of the most important areas in the world in terms of biological diversity. It is one of the world’s richest countries with regard to diversity of plant species, hosting 167 families, 1320 genera and 9996 species [1].

  • Flowering Plants of South Norwood Country Park
    Flowering Plants Of South Norwood Country Park Robert Spencer Introduction South Norwood Country Park relative to its size contains a wide range habitats and as a result a diverse range of plants can be found growing on site. Some of these plants are very conspicuous, growing in great abundance and filling the park with splashes of bright colour with a white period in early May largely as a result of the Cow Parsley, this is followed later in the year by a pink period consisting of mainly Willow herbs. Other plants to be observed are common easily recognisable flowers. However there are a great number of plants growing at South Norwood Country Park that are less well-known or harder to spot, and the casual observer would likely be surprised to learn that 363 species of flowering plants have so far been recorded growing in the park though this number includes invasive species and garden escapes. This report is an update of a report made in 2006, and though the site has changed in the intervening years the management and fundamental nature of the park remains the same. Some plants have diminished and some have flourished and the high level of diversity is still present. Many of these plants are important to other wildlife particularly in their relationship to invertebrate pollinators, and some of these important interactions are referenced in this report. With so many species on the plant list there is a restriction on how much information is given for each species, with some particularly rare or previously observed but now absent plants not included though they appear in the index at the back of the report including when they were last observed.

A phylogeny of Solanaceae is presented based on the chloroplast DNA regions ndhF and trnLF. With 89 genera and 190 species included, this represents a nearly comprehensive genus-level sampling and provides a framework phylogeny for the entire family that helps integrate many previously-published phylogenetic studies within So- lanaceae. The four genera comprising the family Goetzeaceae and the monotypic families Duckeodendraceae, Nolanaceae, and Sclerophylaceae, often recognized in traditional classifications, are shown to be included in Solanaceae. The current results corroborate previous studies that identify a monophyletic subfamily Solanoideae and the more inclusive “x = 12” clade, which includes Nicotiana and the Australian tribe Anthocercideae. These results also provide greater resolution among lineages within Solanoideae, confirming Jaltomata as sister to Solanum and identifying a clade comprised primarily of tribes Capsiceae (Capsicum and Lycianthes) and Physaleae.

  • Working List of Invasive Vascular Plants of Wyoming ─ III (Vernacular Names from Selected Major Works) Dec 2017
    Working List of Invasive Vascular Plants of Wyoming ─ III (Vernacular names from selected major works) Dec 2017 Compiled by R.L. Hartman and B.E. Nelson With assistance from R.D. Dorn, W. Fertig, B. Heidel The following list contains 372 taxa introduced to Wyoming from outside North America; included are invasives recognized by the Wyoming state government as noxious (; 28; although Ambrosa tomentosa is native). A number of these species repesent escapes from cultivation and are limited to one or a few collections. Nomenclature is based on R.D. Dorn, 2001, Vascular Plants of Wyoming; where updated, Dorn’s synonyms are in square brackets [ ]. Other synonyms found in the list of sources below are not included. Likewise, family names and their circumscriptions follow Dorn; where defined differently by the Angiosperm Working Group IV (APG IV), clarification follows in parenthese. Dorn does not indicate the typical variety or subspecies unless a second infraspecific taxon is recognized. We have included the typical infraspecies where appropriate. The lack of hyphenation, word separation, or capitalization may not reflect the appearance of the vernacular names in the works cited.
