Leaf Anatomical Study of Gypsophila (Caryophyllaceae) and Allied Genera in Iran and Its Taxonomical Implication
IRANIAN JOURNAL OF BOTANY 24 (2), 2018 DOI: 10.22092/ijb.2018.122088.1203 LEAF ANATOMICAL STUDY OF GYPSOPHILA (CARYOPHYLLACEAE) AND ALLIED GENERA IN IRAN AND ITS TAXONOMICAL IMPLICATION E. Amini, Sh. Zarre & M. Assadi Received 2018. 05. 30; accepted for publication 2018. 10. 17 Amini, E., Zarre, Sh. & Assadi, M. 2018. 12. 30: Leaf anatomical study of Gypsophila (Caryophyllaceae) and allied genera in Iran and its taxonomical implication. -Iran. J. Bot. 24 (2): 138-155. Tehran. Aanatomical features as revealed from cross-sections of leaf blades and midribs in 21 taxa of Gypsophila representing its currently recognized seven sections distributed in Iran as well as four species of Saponaria, two species of Allochrusa and one species of Ankyropetalum as its closely related genera are examined. In total nine quantitative and five qualitative characters were selected and measured. The most important characters include general shape of leaves (assessed only for narrow leaves) in transverse section, type of mesophyll (dorsi-ventral vs. isobilateral), thickness of sclerenchyma surrounding the vascular bundles, shape of central vascular bundle, number of parenchyma layers in midrib, thickness (number of layers) and structure of mesophyll, density and distribution of druses. In general, leaf anatomy does not provide any unique feature supporting the separation of genera Ankyropetalum and Allochrusa from Gypsophila. The number of spongy layers provides support at least for separation of Gypsophila (more than two layers) from most species of Saponaria (only one layer). Our results show that leaf anatomical features provide reliable evidence for subgeneric classification of Gypsophila and could be taxonomically valuable.

Untangling Phylogenetic Patterns and Taxonomic Confusion in Tribe Caryophylleae (Caryophyllaceae) with Special Focus on Generic

This challenge is most serious in tribe Caryophylleae since the supposed genera seem to be highly artificial, and the available morphological evidence cannot effectively be used for delimitation and exact determination of taxa. The main goal of the present study was to re-assess the monophyly of the genera currently recognized in this tribe using molecular phylogenetic data. We used the sequences of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the chloroplast gene rps16 for 135 and 94 accessions, respectively, representing all 16 genera currently recognized in the tribe Caryophylleae, with a rich sampling of Gypsophila as one of the most heterogeneous groups in the tribe. -
Medicinal Practices of Sacred Natural Sites: a Socio-Religious Approach for Successful Implementation of Primary
Medicinal practices of sacred natural sites: a socio-religious approach for successful implementation of primary healthcare services Rajasri Ray and Avik Ray Review Correspondence Abstract Rajasri Ray*, Avik Ray Centre for studies in Ethnobiology, Biodiversity and Background: Sacred groves are model systems that Sustainability (CEiBa), Malda - 732103, West have the potential to contribute to rural healthcare Bengal, India owing to their medicinal floral diversity and strong social acceptance. *Corresponding Author: Rajasri Ray; [email protected] Methods: We examined this idea employing ethnomedicinal plants and their application Ethnobotany Research & Applications documented from sacred groves across India. A total 20:34 (2020) of 65 published documents were shortlisted for the Key words: AYUSH; Ethnomedicine; Medicinal plant; preparation of database and statistical analysis. Sacred grove; Spatial fidelity; Tropical diseases Standard ethnobotanical indices and mapping were used to capture the current trend. Background Results: A total of 1247 species from 152 families Human-nature interaction has been long entwined in has been documented for use against eighteen the history of humanity. Apart from deriving natural categories of diseases common in tropical and sub- resources, humans have a deep rooted tradition of tropical landscapes. Though the reported species venerating nature which is extensively observed are clustered around a few widely distributed across continents (Verschuuren 2010). The tradition families, 71% of them are uniquely represented from has attracted attention of researchers and policy- any single biogeographic region. The use of multiple makers for its impact on local ecological and socio- species in treating an ailment, high use value of the economic dynamics. Ethnomedicine that emanated popular plants, and cross-community similarity in from this tradition, deals health issues with nature- disease treatment reflects rich community wisdom to derived resources. -

Fatima Mubark1 1PhD Research Scholar, Medicinal and Aromatic Plants research Institute, National Council for Research, Khartom, Sudan Ikram Madani Ahmed2 2Associate Professor, Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, University of Khartoum, Sudan Corresponding author: Ikram Madani, Article DOI: https://doi.org/10.36713/epra6001 ABSTRACT In this study, separation of chemical compounds using Thin layer chromatography technique revealed close relationship between the studied members of the newly constructed family Amaranthaceae Juss. (s.l.). 68% of the calculated affinities between the studied species are above 50% which is an indication for close relationships. 90% is the chemical affinities reported between Chenopodium murale and three species of the genus Amaranthus despite of their great morphological diversity. Among the selected members of the chenopodiaceae, Chenopodium murale and Suaeda monoica are the most closely related species to all of the studied Amaranthaceae . 60%-88% and 54%-88% chemical affinities were reported for the two species with the Amaranthaceae members respectively. GC-Mass analysis of methanolic extracts of the studied species identified 20 compounds common between different species. 9,12- Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)-,2-hydroxy-1 and 7-Hexadecenal,(Z)- are the major components common between Amaranthus graecizans, Digera muricata Aerva javanica Gomphrena celosioides of the historical family Amaranthaceae and Suaeda monoica Salsola vermiculata Chenopodium murale Cornulaca monocantha of the historical family Chenopodiaceae, Most of the identified compounds are of pharmaceutical importance such as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory , and Anti-cancerous. -

The new variety C. dutreuilii var. montanum is described. Lectotypes of C. declinatum, C. elongatum and C. macrocarpum have been designated. The fruit anatomy of 16 Chinese taxa has been investigated for the first time. Both molecular and carpological data support the specific status of C. ellipsocarpum. The general fruit structure of Corispermoideae is specified and discussed. Key words: Chenopodiaceae, China, distribution, fruit anatomy, lectotypification, new taxon Introduction The genus Corispermum (Linnaeus 1753: 4) comprises at least 70 annual taxa distributed in Eurasia and North America. Central Asia appears to be one of the richest regions in Corispermum species. Twenty-seven species are recorded in temperate China (Zhu et al. 2003). All of them belong to various groups distinguished in having a perianth with 1(−2) hyaline segments. Concerning the other reproductive characters, especially in fruit morphology, the Chinese taxa highlight an high differentiation. -
