Mistletoes: Pathogens, Keystone Resource, and Medicinal Wonder Abstracts
Mistletoes: Pathogens, Keystone Resource, and Medicinal Wonder Abstracts Oral Presentations Phylogenetic relationships in Phoradendron (Viscaceae) Vanessa Ashworth, Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden Keywords: Phoradendron, Systematics, Phylogenetics Phoradendron Nutt. is a genus of New World mistletoes comprising ca. 240 species distributed from the USA to Argentina and including the Antillean islands. Taxonomic treatments based on morphology have been hampered by phenotypic plasticity, size reduction of floral parts, and a shortage of taxonomically useful traits. Morphological characters used to differentiate species include the arrangement of flowers on an inflorescence segment (seriation) and the presence/absence and pattern of insertion of cataphylls on the stem. The only trait distinguishing Phoradendron from Dendrophthora Eichler, another New World mistletoe genus with a tropical distribution contained entirely within that of Phoradendron, is the number of anther locules. However, several lines of evidence suggest that neither Phoradendron nor Dendrophthora is monophyletic, although together they form the strongly supported monophyletic tribe Phoradendreae of nearly 360 species. To date, efforts to delineate supraspecific assemblages have been largely unsuccessful, and the only attempt to apply molecular sequence data dates back 16 years. Insights gleaned from that study, which used the ITS region and two partitions of the 26S nuclear rDNA, will be discussed, and new information pertinent to the systematics and biology of Phoradendron will be reviewed. The Viscaceae, why so successful? Clyde Calvin, University of California, Berkeley Carol A. Wilson, The University and Jepson Herbaria, University of California, Berkeley Keywords: Endophytic system, Epicortical roots, Epiparasite Mistletoe is the term used to describe aerial-branch parasites belonging to the order Santalales. -

[email protected] Abstract – (Haustorium, haustor, holdfast, sinker: Illustrated glossary about parasitic plants and the issue of structural homology of host-parasite connection structures). The parasitic life form in plants is associated with the formation of an organ generically called haustorium, which is responsible for the connection between parasite and host. The great diversity of parasitic species - about 1% of living angiosperms - added to the diversity of potential hosts results in a multiplicity of structures, tissues and cell types peculiar to these interactions. However, it is frequent to observe that all this morpho-anatomical variety is approached under the use of few common terms and even with synonyms, but also with ambiguous terminology use and dubious or ontogenetically unproven homology. The use of publications originally written in other languages than Portuguese (i.e. English, mainly, Spanish, French, Italian, German), often being literally translated, dealing with false cognates and other linguistics influences have also caused some confusion. In order to promote a clearer and more precise use of terminology, in addition to performing a historical retrieval of original meanings, a compilation and restructuring of terms was carried out in the way they have been approached, in order to promote a better understanding of the nomenclature used. -

Recently network theory has been applied to ecological networks, including interactions between plants that live in the canopy of other trees (e.g. mistletoes or vines). In this thesis, I explore plant-plant interactions in greater detail and I test for the first time, a predictive approach that maps unique biological traits across species interactions. In chapter two I used a novel predictive approach to investigate the topology of a mistletoe-host network and evaluate leaf trait similari ties between Lauranthaceaous mistletoes and host trees. Results showed support for negative co-occurrence patterns, web specialisation and strong links between species pairs. However, the deterministic model showed that the observed network topology could not predict network interactions when they were considered to be unique associations in the community. -

Metapopulation Dynamics of the Mistletoe and Its Host in Savanna Areas with Different Fire Occurrence
Metapopulation Dynamics of the Mistletoe and Its Host in Savanna Areas with Different Fire Occurrence Grazielle Sales Teodoro1*, Eduardo van den Berg2, Rafael Arruda3 1 Departamento de Botaˆnica, Instituto de Biologia, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Campinas, Brasil, 2 Setor de Botaˆnica Sistema´tica, Departamento de Biologia, Universidade Federal de Lavras, Lavras, Brasil, 3 Instituto de Cieˆncias Naturais, Humanas e Sociais, Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso, Sinop, Brasil Abstract Mistletoes are aerial hemiparasitic plants which occupy patches of favorable habitat (host trees) surrounded by unfavorable habitat and may be possibly modeled as a metapopulation. A metapopulation is defined as a subdivided population that persists due to the balance between colonization and extinction in discrete habitat patches. Our aim was to evaluate the dynamics of the mistletoe Psittacanthus robustus and its host Vochysia thyrsoidea in three Brazilian savanna areas using a metapopulation approach. We also evaluated how the differences in terms of fire occurrence affected the dynamic of those populations (two areas burned during the study and one was fire protected). We monitored the populations at six-month intervals. P. robustus population structure and dynamics met the expected criteria for a metapopulation: i) the suitable habitats for the mistletoe occur in discrete patches; (ii) local populations went extinct during the study and (iii) colonization of previously non-occupied patches occurred. The ratio of occupied patches decreased in all areas with time. Local mistletoe populations went extinct due to two different causes: patch extinction in area with no fire and fire killing in the burned areas. In a burned area, the largest decrease of occupied patch ratios occurred due to a fire event that killed the parasites without, however, killing the host trees. -

David Sites Clarke By Craig M. Johnson Carol L. Kelloff, Sara N. Alexander, V. A. Funk,with contributions and H. David by Clarke Stanley A. Ahler, Herbert Haas, and Georges Bonani SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of “diffusing knowledge” was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: “It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge.” This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, com- mencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to History and Technology Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Museum Conservation Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report on the research and collections of its various museums and bureaus. The Smithsonian Contributions Series are distributed via mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institu- tions throughout the world. Manuscripts submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press from authors with direct affilia- tion with the various Smithsonian museums or bureaus and are subject to peer review and review for compliance with manuscript preparation guidelines. -

Aceito em 9/04/2012 RESUMO (Ecologia de ervas-de-passarinho Neotropicais: um importante componente do dossel de ecossistemas brasileiros). Ervas-de-passarinho têm sim sido regularmente estudadas em países temperados por afetar negativamente espécies cultivadas e fl orestas manejadas. Em comparação com ambientes temperados pouco se conhece sobre a ecologia das ervas-de-passarinho neotropicais. Desta forma, é necessário maior conhecimento sobre o grupo porque são importantes elementos de comunidades vegetais, atuando como recurso-chave para polinizadores, dispersores de sementes e herbívoros. Através de uma combinação de trabalhos clássicos já publicados com evidências empíricas recentes, nós apresentamos padrões emergentes da interação entre ervas-de-passarinho com os organismos associados e questionamentos para estudos adicionais. -
