Bryophytes Sl. : Mosses, Liverworts and Hornworts. Illustrated Glossary A Lino et à Enzo 3 Bryophytes sl. Mosses, liverworts and hornworts Illustrated glossary (traduction française de chaque terme) Leica Chavoutier 2017 CHAVOUTIER, L., 2017 – Bryophytes sl. : Mosses, liverworts and hornworts. Illustrated glossary. Unpublished. 132 p.. Introduction In September 2016 the following book was deposed in free download CHAVOUTIER, L., 2016 – Bryophytes sl. : Mousses, hépatiques et antho- cérotes/Mosses, liverworts and hornworts. Glossaire illustré/Illustrated glossary. Inédit. 179 p. This new book is an English version of the previous one after being re- viewed and expanded. This glossary covers the mosses, liverworts and hornworts, three phyla that are related by some parts of their structures and especially by their life cycles. They are currently grouped to form bryophytes s.l. This glossary can only be partial: it was impossible to include in the defi- nitions all possible cases. The most common use has been privileged. Each term is associated with a theme to use, and it is in this context that the definition is given. The themes are: morphology, anatomy, support, habit, chorology, nomenclature, taxonomy, systematics, life strategies, abbreviations, ecosystems. Photographs : All photographs have been made by the author. Recommended reference CHAVOUTIER, L., 2017 – Bryophytes sl. : Mosses, liverworts and horn- worts. Illustrated glossary. Unpublished. 132 p. Any use of photos must show the name of the author: Leica Chavoutier Your comments, suggestions, remarks, criticisms, are to be adressed to : [email protected] Acknowledgements I am very grateful to Janice Glime for its invaluable contribution. This English version benefited from its review, its comments, its suggestions, and therefore improvements. I would also like to thank Jonathan Shaw. 5 Example: anisophyllous . English term (or group of words): anisophyllous .

  • Topic: Apomixis - Definition and Types
    Course Teacher: Dr. Rupendra Kumar Jhade, JNKVV, College of Horticulture,Chhindwara(M.P.) B.Sc.(Hons) Horticulture- 1st Year, II Semester 2019-20 Course: Plant Propagation and Nursery Management Lecture No. 12 Topic: Apomixis - Definition and types Apomixis, derived from two Greek word “APO” (away from) and “MIXIS” (act of mixing or mingling). The first discovery of this phenomenon is credited to Leuwen hock as early as 1719 in Citrus seeds. In apomixes, seeds are formed but the embryos develop without fertilization. The genotype of the embryo and resulting plant will be the same as the seed parent. Definition: “The process of development of diploid embryos without fertilization.” Or “Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction that occurs via seeds, in which embryos develop without fertilization.” Or “Apomixis is a type of reproduction in which sexual organs of related structures take part but seeds are formed without union of gametes.” In some species of plants, an embryo develops from the diploid cells of the seed and not as a result of fertilization between ovule and pollen. This type of reproduction is known as apomixis and the seedlings produced in this manner are known as apomicts. Apomictic seedlings are identical to mother plant and similar to plants raised by other vegetative means, because such plants have the same genetic make-up as that of the mother plant. Such seedlings are completely free from viruses. In apomictic species, sexual reproduction is either suppressed or absent. When sexual reproduction also occurs, the apomixes is termed as facultative apomixis. But when sexual reproduction is absent, it is referred to as obligate apomixis.

  • Identification of Conifer Trees in Iowa This Publication Is Designed to Help Identify the Most Common Trees Found in Iowa
    Identification of Conifer Trees in Iowa This publication is designed to help identify the most common trees found in Iowa. It is based on vegetative characteristics including leaves, fruit, and bark. It is neither complete nor without possible oversights. Separate species are grouped by similar characteristics, mainly based on type and arrangement of leaves. These groups are; awl- or scale- like needles; single needles, flattened with rounded tips; single needles, square in cross section, with pointed tips; and needles in bundles or fasticles of two or more. Remember, vegetative character- istics are quite variable; use more than one specimen for comparison. Awl- or scale-like needles Juniperus Virginiana Eastern Red Cedar Leaves are dark green; leaves are both awl- and scale-like; cone is dark blue and berry-like. Thuja occidentalis Northern White Cedar Leaves are flattened and only of the scale type; cones have 4-6 scales; foliage is light green. Juniperus communis Common Juniper Leaves are awl shaped; cone is dark blue and berry-like. Pm-1383 | May 1996 Single needles, flattened with rounded tips Pseudotsuga menziesii Douglas Fir Needles occur on raised pegs; 3/4-11/4 inches in length; cones have 3-pointed bracts between the cone scales. Abies balsamea Abies concolor Balsam Fir White (Concolor) Fir Needles are blunt and notched at Needles are somewhat pointed, the tip; 3/4-11/2 inches in length. curved towards the branch top and 11/2-3 inches in length; silver green in color. Single needles, Picea abies Norway Spruce square in cross Needles are 1/2-1 inch long; section, with needles are dark green; foliage appears to droop or weep; cone pointed tips is 4-7 inches long.

ISBN 978-82-471-2333-1 (electronic ver.) ISSN 1503-8181 Doctoral theses at NTNU, 2010:179 Printed by NTNU-trykk Synopsis PREFACE It was the spring of 2005, and it was the right time to move onwards. A position as a research fellow working with long-term time series at the Museum of Natural History and Archaeology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) was announced, and a PhD-project was developed with the studies of former haymaking lands at Sølendet and Tågdalen nature reserves as a starting point. Work began in earnest in January 2006, and continued at an ever increasing pace until July 2010, when all the parts of the thesis were finally completed and assembled. The study was financed by NTNU, and was carried out at the Museum of Natural History and Archaeology and the Institute of Biology, both NTNU. I am deeply grateful to my main supervisor Professor Asbjørn Moen at the Museum of Natural History and Archaeology, and my co-supervisor Associate Professor Bård Pedersen at the Institute of Biology. This project rests on the long-term studies of rich hayfens that were initiated by Asbjørn 40 years ago, and that are still ongoing, much due to his continuous effort.

  • Volatile Concentrate from the Neotropical Moss Neckeropsis Undulata (Hedw.) Reichardt, Existing in the Brazilian Amazon Thyago G
    Miranda et al. BMC Chemistry (2021) 15:7 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13065-021-00736-3 BMC Chemistry RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Volatile concentrate from the neotropical moss Neckeropsis undulata (Hedw.) Reichardt, existing in the brazilian Amazon Thyago G. Miranda1, Raynon Joel M. Alves1, Ronilson F. de Souza2, José Guilherme S. Maia3, Pablo Luis B. Figueiredo2* and Ana Cláudia C. Tavares‑Martins1,2 Abstract Background: Many natural compounds have been identifed and synthesized by the advancement of bryophytes phytochemistry studies. This work aimed to report the composition of Neckeropsis undulata (Hedw.) Reichardt moss volatiles, sampled in the Combú Island, Belém city, Pará state, Brazil. The volatile concentrate of N. undulata was obtained by a simultaneous distillation‑extraction micro‑system, analyzed by GC and GC‑MS, and reported for the frst time. Results: Ten compounds were identifed in the volatile concentrate, corresponding to 91.6% of the total, being 1‑octen‑3‑ol (35.7%), α‑muurolol (21.4%), naphthalene (11.3%), and n‑hexanal (10.0 %) the main constituents. Most of the constituents of the N. undulata volatile concentrate have been previously identifed in other mosses, and liver‑ worts spread wide in the world. Conclusions: 1‑Octen‑3‑ol, n‑hexanal, 2‑ethylhexanol, isoamyl propionate, and octan‑3‑one are already known metabolic products obtained from enzymatic oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, belonging to the large family of minor oxygenated compounds known as oxylipins. The knowledge of the composition of volatiles from moss N. undulata could contribute to the Neckeraceae species’ chemotaxonomy. Keywords: Neckeraceae, Volatile concentrate, 1‑octen‑3‑ol, α‑muurolol, n‑hexanal Background Brazil’s bryophyte fora comprises 1524 species, of which Bryophytes are small terrestrial spore-forming green 880 are mosses, 633 liverworts, and 11 hornworts.

  • The Origin of Alternation of Generations in Land Plants
    Theoriginof alternation of generations inlandplants: afocuson matrotrophy andhexose transport Linda K.E.Graham and LeeW .Wilcox Department of Botany,University of Wisconsin, 430Lincoln Drive, Madison,WI 53706, USA (lkgraham@facsta¡.wisc .edu ) Alifehistory involving alternation of two developmentally associated, multicellular generations (sporophyteand gametophyte) is anautapomorphy of embryophytes (bryophytes + vascularplants) . Microfossil dataindicate that Mid ^Late Ordovicianland plants possessed such alifecycle, and that the originof alternationof generationspreceded this date.Molecular phylogenetic data unambiguously relate charophyceangreen algae to the ancestryof monophyletic embryophytes, and identify bryophytes as early-divergentland plants. Comparison of reproduction in charophyceans and bryophytes suggests that the followingstages occurredduring evolutionary origin of embryophytic alternation of generations: (i) originof oogamy;(ii) retention ofeggsand zygotes on the parentalthallus; (iii) originof matrotrophy (regulatedtransfer ofnutritional and morphogenetic solutes fromparental cells tothe nextgeneration); (iv)origin of a multicellularsporophyte generation ;and(v) origin of non-£ agellate, walled spores. Oogamy,egg/zygoteretention andmatrotrophy characterize at least some moderncharophyceans, and arepostulated to represent pre-adaptativefeatures inherited byembryophytes from ancestral charophyceans.Matrotrophy is hypothesizedto have preceded originof the multicellularsporophytes of plants,and to represent acritical innovation.Molecular

  • About the Book the Format Acknowledgments
    About the Book For more than ten years I have been working on a book on bryophyte ecology and was joined by Heinjo During, who has been very helpful in critiquing multiple versions of the chapters. But as the book progressed, the field of bryophyte ecology progressed faster. No chapter ever seemed to stay finished, hence the decision to publish online. Furthermore, rather than being a textbook, it is evolving into an encyclopedia that would be at least three volumes. Having reached the age when I could retire whenever I wanted to, I no longer needed be so concerned with the publish or perish paradigm. In keeping with the sharing nature of bryologists, and the need to educate the non-bryologists about the nature and role of bryophytes in the ecosystem, it seemed my personal goals could best be accomplished by publishing online. This has several advantages for me. I can choose the format I want, I can include lots of color images, and I can post chapters or parts of chapters as I complete them and update later if I find it important. Throughout the book I have posed questions. I have even attempt to offer hypotheses for many of these. It is my hope that these questions and hypotheses will inspire students of all ages to attempt to answer these. Some are simple and could even be done by elementary school children. Others are suitable for undergraduate projects. And some will take lifelong work or a large team of researchers around the world. Have fun with them! The Format The decision to publish Bryophyte Ecology as an ebook occurred after I had a publisher, and I am sure I have not thought of all the complexities of publishing as I complete things, rather than in the order of the planned organization.

The study area is located within the borders of the Eastern Black Sea Mountains and is one of the 122 important plant areas in Turkey. The investigation of epiphytic bryophyte communities was carried out in 2016 during different vegetation periods according to Braun-Blanquet’s phytosociological methodology. Phytosociological data obtained from 65 relevés were ordinated using detrended correspondence analysis (DECORANA) and classified using two-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN). Consequently, six epiphytic bryophyte communities new to Turkey were determined with TWINSPAN and DECORANA: Leucobryo-Tetraphidetum pellucidae, Anomodonto attenuati-Neckeretum crispae, Frullanio tamarisci-Exsertothecetum crispae, Ulotetum crispae, Anomodonto attenuati-Neckeretum crispae-leucodontetosum sciuroidis, and Ulotetum crispae-isothecietosum alopecuroidis. All syntaxa are presented by analyzing them in terms of their ecological and floristic classifications. Key words: Bryophyte, epiphytic vegetation, Kamilet Valley, Turkey 1.

    Polish Botanical Journal 57(1): 63–68, 2012 NECKERA INOPINATA (NECKERACEAE, BRYOPHYTA), A NEW SPECIES FROM HUNAN AND ZHEJIANG, CHINA JOHANNES ENROTH Abstract. Neckera inopinata Enroth (Neckeraceae) is described as a new species from Hunan Province and Zhejiang Province, China. It can be distinguished by the following suite of characters: plants of relatively small stature; leaves variably undulate, shortly decurrent, ovate-lingulate to ovate; costa reaching to midleaf or above; leaf margins very sharply serrulate; and upper laminal cells solid-walled. An identifi cation key to the species of Neckera s.l. in China is provided.
