Native Vascular Plant Taxa SWAFR SWAFR - Hopper & Gioia (2004) - Native Vascular Plant Taxa Paul Gioia, Science and Conservation Division, Department of Parks and Wildlife Report generated on 22/06/2016 11:30:52 AM This analysis uses the SWAFR boundary generated from a site classification analysis by Hopper & Gioia (2004). Data for this report were derived from a snapshot taken from WAHERB on 18/05/2015 for Gioia & Hopper (2016) paper. Criteria for data extraction and analysis were: 1. All vascular plants 2. Species-rank names where the typical subspecies also existed were renamed to the typical subspecies to avoid counting duplicate taxa 3. Native vascular taxa with current names Note: 1. This report contains information generated from intersecting the supplied polygon layer LOCAL_SWFHG04 with the point species occurrence layer WAHERB_FILT_NATIVE. 2. Endemism is calculated based on the records available to this analysis and is not necessarily authoritative.

  • Allopolyploidy and Root Nodule Symbiosis in Glycine
    TWO TO TANGO: ALLOPOLYPLOIDY AND ROOT NODULE SYMBIOSIS IN GLYCINE SUBGENUS GLYCINE A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Adrian Federico Powell January 2017 © 2017 Adrian Federico Powell TWO TO TANGO: ALLOPOLYPLOIDY AND ROOT NODULE SYMBIOSIS IN GLYCINE SUBGENUS GLYCINE Adrian Federico Powell, Ph.D. Cornell University 2017 Polyploidy (or whole genome duplication) and root nodule symbioses with bacteria (termed ‘rhizobia’) have both been important phenomena in the evolutionary history of the legume family (Leguminosae). Recently, it has been proposed that polyploidy may have played a critical role in the development or refinement of nodulation. Given the varied potential impacts of polyploidy, effects on biotic interactions are plausible. However, direct studies of the interactions between these phenomena in symbiotic, nodule-forming species are lacking. In this dissertation, using a complex of recently formed allopolyploids in Glycine subgenus Glycine, the perennial relatives of soybean, we examined (1) the root metabolites and symbiotic signaling capacity of multiple allopolyploid species relative to the diploid progenitor species that hybridized to form each allopolyploid, (2) the nodulation-related responses of allopolyploids and diploid progenitors to rhizobia and (3) the transcriptome-level responses to inoculation in allopolyploid G. dolichocarpa (T2) and its diploid progenitors. These objectives were pursued using a variety of approaches including root metabolite profiling, inoculation trials, and RNA sequencing. We found that, while there were no common transgressive patterns in the root metabolite profiles of allopolyploids in the complex, one of the progenitors of T2 had distinctive root metabolite and exudate profiles; profiles of symbiotic signaling metabolites were also altered in the allopolyploid.

  • Well-Known Plants in Each Angiosperm Order
    Well-known plants in each angiosperm order This list is generally from least evolved (most ancient) to most evolved (most modern). (I’m not sure if this applies for Eudicots; I’m listing them in the same order as APG II.) The first few plants are mostly primitive pond and aquarium plants. Next is Illicium (anise tree) from Austrobaileyales, then the magnoliids (Canellales thru Piperales), then monocots (Acorales through Zingiberales), and finally eudicots (Buxales through Dipsacales). The plants before the eudicots in this list are considered basal angiosperms. This list focuses only on angiosperms and does not look at earlier plants such as mosses, ferns, and conifers. Basal angiosperms – mostly aquatic plants Unplaced in order, placed in Amborellaceae family • Amborella trichopoda – one of the most ancient flowering plants Unplaced in order, placed in Nymphaeaceae family • Water lily • Cabomba (fanwort) • Brasenia (watershield) Ceratophyllales • Hornwort Austrobaileyales • Illicium (anise tree, star anise) Basal angiosperms - magnoliids Canellales • Drimys (winter's bark) • Tasmanian pepper Laurales • Bay laurel • Cinnamon • Avocado • Sassafras • Camphor tree • Calycanthus (sweetshrub, spicebush) • Lindera (spicebush, Benjamin bush) Magnoliales • Custard-apple • Pawpaw • guanábana (soursop) • Sugar-apple or sweetsop • Cherimoya • Magnolia • Tuliptree • Michelia • Nutmeg • Clove Piperales • Black pepper • Kava • Lizard’s tail • Aristolochia (birthwort, pipevine, Dutchman's pipe) • Asarum (wild ginger) Basal angiosperms - monocots Acorales

  • 5.3.1 Flora and Vegetation
    Flora and fauna assessment for the Calingiri study area Prepared for Muchea to Wubin Integrated Project Team (Main Roads WA, Jacobs and Arup) 5.3 FIELD SURVEY 5.3.1 Flora and vegetation A total of 296 plant taxa (including subspecies and varieties) representing 154 genera and 55 families were recorded in the study area. This total is comprised of 244 (82.4%) native species and 52 (17.6%) introduced (weed) species, and included 60 annual, 223 perennial species, one species that is known to be either annual or perennial and 12 unknown life cycles (Appendix 8). The current survey recorded a similar number of species to previous flora surveys conducted along GNH and higher average diversity (average number of taxa per km) (Table 5-7).

  • FINAL REPORT 2019 Canna Reserve
    FINAL REPORT 2019 Canna Reserve This project was supported by NACC NRM and the Shire of Morawa through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program Canna Reserve BioBlitz 2019 Weaving and wonder in the wilderness! The weather may have been hot and dry, but that didn’t stop everyone having fun and learning about the rich biodiversity and conservation value of the wonderful Canna Reserve during the highly successful 2019 BioBlitz. On the 14 - 15 September 2019, NACC NRM together with support from Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions and the Shire of Morawa, hosted their third BioBlitz at the Canna Reserve in the Shire of Morawa. Fifty professional biologists and citizen scientists attended the event with people travelling from near and far including Morawa, Perenjori, Geraldton and Perth. After an introduction and Acknowledgement of Country from organisers Jessica Stingemore and Jarna Kendle, the BioBlitz kicked off with participants separating into four teams and heading out to explore Canna Reserve with the goal of identifying as many plants, birds, invertebrates, and vertebrates as possible in a 24 hr period. David Knowles of Spineless Wonders led the invertebrate survey with assistance from, OAM recipient Allen Sundholm, Jenny Borger of Jenny Borger Botanical Consultancy led the plant team, BirdLife Midwest member Alice Bishop guided the bird survey team and David Pongracz from Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions ran the vertebrate surveys with assistance from volunteer Corin Desmond. The BioBlitz got off to a great start identifying 80 plant species during the first survey with many more species to come and even a new orchid find for the reserve.

Facultad de Estudios Superiores Iztacala, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Tlalnepantla, Estado de México, México. 2 Departamento de Ecología Evolutiva, Instituto de Ecología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, CDMX, México. Author for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract Background: The Neotropical ant-acacias show morphological variations in their vegetative characteristics as a consequence of their relation- ship with ants. However, there is no information regarding whether floral organs have also undergone any modification that prevents resident ants from approaching the inflorescences in anthesis. Questions: Are the patterns of floral development affected by the relationship with ants? Is there any floral organ or structure involved in avoid- ing the presence of ants during the flowering period? At what stage of development do these modifications arise, if at all? Studied species: Acacia cornigera (L.) Willd. Study site: Santiago Pinotepa Nacional, Oaxaca and Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz. March and May 2015. Methods: Dissections of inflorescences in every developmental stage from two populations, were examined using scanning electron micros- copy. Results: The inception patterns of the calyx (irregular), corolla (simultaneous), androecium (acropetally in alternate sectors) and gynoecium (precocious) agree with previous reports for non-myrmecophyic species of the Acacia genus. In mature stages, the presence of stomata is char- acteristic of bracts and petals.
