  • The Pollen of Genus Alangium in Cenozoic Deposits of Georgia
    saqarTvelos mecnierebaTa erovnuli akademiis moambe, t. 8, #3, 2014 BULLETIN OF THE GEORGIAN NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, vol. 8, no. 3, 2014 Palaeobiology The Pollen of Genus Alangium in Cenozoic Deposits of Georgia Irina Shatilova*, Irma Kokolashvili** * Georgian National Museum, Institute of Palaeobiology, Tbilisi **Georgian Technical University, Tbilisi (Presented by Academy Member David Lordkipanidze) ABSTRACT. In geological records the genus Alangium is known from the Paleogene. Morphologically different pollen grains were determined in the Eocene deposits of both hemispheres: the pollen of Alangium sp. A in North America, Alangiopollis eocaenicus Krutzsch in Europe and Alangium sibiricum Lubomirova in the Western Siberia. The species A. barhoornianum Traverse was described from the Upper Oligocene Brandon lignite of Vermond (North America). The same pollen grains were revealed in Europe. The European pollen remains were similar to Traverse’s Alangium barhoornianum and only the generic name was changed. On the territory of Europe the species Alangiopollis barhoornianum (Traverse) Krutzch is known mainly from the Paleogene till the Middle Miocene. Approximately in the same interval of time the species A. simplex Nagy and A. rarus Cernjavska were determined. On the territory of Georgia the genus Alangium is also known from Paleogene. The species Alangiopollis eocaenicus was described from the Middle Oligocene deposits of Southern Georgia. In Sarmatian the genus was represented by two species A. eocaenicus and A. barhoornianum. After Sarmatian the history of Alangium was connected only with the area adjoining the Black Sea, where the accumulation of marine deposits continued during the whole Pliocene and Pleistocene. In Meotian the pollen grains of two species were determined - the extinct taxon A.

  • Anthelmintic Activity of Alangium Salviifolium Bark
    Available online a t www.scholarsresearchlibrary.com Scholars Research Library J. Nat. Prod. Plant Resour ., 2012, 2 (6):717-720 (http://scholarsresearchlibrary.com/archive.html) ISSN : 2231 – 3184 CODEN (USA): JNPPB7 Anthelmintic activity of Alangium salviifolium bark Ravi Shankar Pandey SLT Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya, Bilaspur, C.G _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Alangium salviifolium (AS) is a novel medicinal plant used for the treatment of various diseases including helminthiasis by the traditional healers of Chhattisgarh. So an attempt has been taken to explore it scientifically. Preliminary phytochemical investigation reveals that there is presence of flavonoids, Saponins, phenols, bitter principles and steroids. Three different concentrations (50, 100 and 150 mg/ml) of crude extract of hexane, ethyl acetate, chloroform and methanol were tested against earthworms (Pheretima posthuma), which involved the evaluation of paralysis and death period of the worm. Methanol and chloroform extracts exhibited significant anthelmintic activity at highest concentration of 150 mg/mL. Piperzine citrate was selected as standard compound and DMF as control. The anthelmintic activity of Methanol and chloroform of bark of AS has therefore been evaluated for the first time. Key words: Alangium salviifolium; helminthiasis; Pheretima posthuma; Piperzine citrate and Paralysis _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Helminthiasis is a macroparasitic disease of humans and animals caused due to parasitic worms such as pinworm, roundworm, or tapeworm. These worms some times live in the gastrointestinal tract, may also burrow into the liver, lymphatic system, or other organs [1]. The clinical picture of consists of skin infection, skin nodules, and ocular lesions. The skin lesions include oedema, papules, scab-like eruptions and altered pigmentation.

    Acta Botanica Brasilica doi: 10.1590/0102-33062020abb0051 Toward a phylogenetic reclassification of the subfamily Ambavioideae (Annonaceae): establishment of a new subfamily and a new tribe Tanawat Chaowasku1 Received: February 14, 2020 Accepted: June 12, 2020 . ABSTRACT A molecular phylogeny of the subfamily Ambavioideae (Annonaceae) was reconstructed using up to eight plastid DNA regions (matK, ndhF, and rbcL exons; trnL intron; atpB-rbcL, psbA-trnH, trnL-trnF, and trnS-trnG intergenic spacers). The results indicate that the subfamily is not monophyletic, with the monotypic genus Meiocarpidium resolved as the second diverging lineage of Annonaceae after Anaxagorea (the only genus of Anaxagoreoideae) and as the sister group of a large clade consisting of the rest of Annonaceae. Consequently, a new subfamily, Meiocarpidioideae, is established to accommodate the enigmatic African genus Meiocarpidium. In addition, the subfamily Ambavioideae is redefined to contain two major clades formally recognized as two tribes. The tribe Tetramerantheae consisting of only Tetrameranthus is enlarged to include Ambavia, Cleistopholis, and Mezzettia; and Canangeae, a new tribe comprising Cananga, Cyathocalyx, Drepananthus, and Lettowianthus, are erected. The two tribes are principally distinguishable from each other by differences in monoploid chromosome number, branching architecture, and average pollen size (monads). New relationships were retrieved within Tetramerantheae, with Mezzettia as the sister group of a clade containing Ambavia and Cleistopholis. Keywords: Annonaceae, Ambavioideae, Meiocarpidium, molecular phylogeny, systematics, taxonomy et al. 2019). Every subfamily received unequivocally Introduction and consistently strong molecular support except the subfamily Ambavioideae, which is composed of nine Annonaceae, a pantropical family of flowering plants genera: Ambavia, Cananga, Cleistopholis, Cyathocalyx, prominent in lowland rainforests, consist of 110 genera Drepananthus, Lettowianthus, Meiocarpidium, Mezzettia, (Guo et al.

    A Targeted Enrichment Strategy for Sequencing of Medicinal Species in the Indonesian Flora Berenice Villegas-Ramirez, Erasmus Mundus Master Programme in Evolutionary Biology (MEME) Supervisors: Dr. Sarah Mathews, Harvard University Dr. Hugo de Boer, Uppsala University Introduction • Up to 70,000 plant species are used worldwide in traditional medicine. • At least 20,000 plant taxa have recorded medicinal uses. • Main commercial producers are in Asia: China, India, Indonesia, and Nepal. • Indonesia has c. 7000 plant species of documented medicinal use. • But…… Transmigration and Farming Herbarium Specimens • Plastid genes rbcL and matK have been be adopted as the official DNA barcodes for all land plants. • rbcl ~ 1428 bp • matK ~ 1500 bp • Herbarium specimens often require more attempts at amplification with more primer combinations. • Higher possibility of obtaining incorrect sequences through increased chances of samples becoming mixed up or contaminated. • Lower performance using herbarium material due to lower amplification success. • Caused by severe degradation of DNA into low molecular weight fragments. • But fragmented DNA is not a curse! Next-Generation Sequencing • Fragmented DNA is less of a problem • Only a few milligrams of material are necessary Targeted Enrichment • Defined regions in a genome are selectively captured from a DNA sample prior to sequencing. • The genomic complexity in a sample is reduced. • More time- and cost-effective. Hybrid Capture Targeted Enrichment • Library DNA is hybridized to a probe. • Pre-prepared DNA or RNA fragments complementary to the targeted regions of interest. • Non-specific hybrids are removed by washing. • Targeted DNA is eluted. Easy to use, utilizes a small amount of input DNA (<1-3 ug), and number of loci (target size) is large (1-50 Mb).

  • GYNOECEUM MORPHOLOGY, EMBRYOLOGY and SYSTEMATIC POSITION of the GENUS ERYTHROPALUM by FOLKE FAGERLIND. Introduction the Genus Er
    Fagerlind F. 1946. Gynöceummorphologische, embryologie und systematische stellung der gattung Erythropalum. Svensk Botanisk Tidskrift 40: 9-14. GYNOECEUM MORPHOLOGY, EMBRYOLOGY AND SYSTEMATIC POSITION OF THE GENUS ERYTHROPALUM BY FOLKE FAGERLIND. Introduction The genus Erythropalum has been described by BLUME (1826). He included it in the family Cucurbitaceae. Later, systematists have placed the genus in different plant families. Part of them considered it to be a member of its own family, Erythropalaceae. The views on the position of the genus or family are shown in the following summary: 1. The family is completely alone (PLANCHON 1854). 2. The genus belongs to Cucurbitaceae (BLUME 1826, DE CANDOLLE 1828, HASSKAHL 1848). 3. The family joins Cucurbitaceae, Passifloreae and Papayaceae (MIQUEL 1855). 4. The genus belongs to Olacaceae (ARNOTT 1838, BENTHAM and HOOKER 1862, VALETON 1886, ENGLER 1889, KOORDERS 1912, RIDLEY 1922, MERRIL 1923). 5. The family joins Olacaceae (VAN TIEGHEM 1896, 1897, GAGNEPAIN 1910, LECOMTE 1907-1912). 6. The genus is related to Vitis (BAILLON 1892, he made Vitis the tribe Viteae and Erythropalum the tribe Erythropaleae and summarized together these two tribes and Olacaceae, Santalaceae, Loranthaceae and others in the family Loranthaceae). 7. The genus is brought together with various Olacaceae, Opiliaceae and Icacinaceae to form a family that is placed in the neighborhood of families that are today classified in Therebinthales and Celastrales (MASTERS 1872-75). 8. The family joins Icacinaceae (GAGNEPAIN 1910, LECOMTE 1907-1912, SLEUMER 1935, 1942). In Buitenzorg's botanical garden a few individuals of Erythropalum scandens BLUME grow. During my stay in Java (1938), I collected material from them in order, if possible, to gain clarity about the correct position of the genus in the system by examining the gynoecium, the ovule, and the megagametophytes.

Kool Leiden) 2 This small family of or 3 Old World rain-forest genera was already recognized as a separate suprageneric taxon by PLANCHON (1847) and PLANCHON & KLOTZSCH (1856), who relegated it to the affinity of Ochnaceae, later correctly referred to Linaceae as a subfamily Ixonanthoideaeby HUB. WINKLER (1931) and finally recognized as a family of its own by EXELL & MENDONÇA (1951). the of the As to number genera containedin family, there is no unanimity of opinion. FORMAN 8 NOOTEBOOM that (1965: 523) referred genera to the family, but (1967) argued several belong to Simaroubaceae. After careful consideration 3 genera are admitted here in Ixonanthaceae sensu stricto: Cyrillopsis Kuhlm. from South America, Ochthocosmus BENTH. (incl. Phyllocosmus KLOTZSCH) from tropical America and Africa, and Ixonanthes JACK from Indo-Malesia. The three genera form a close-knit group. They are all small and the wide distributionin the tropics points to a high age of the group. We must mentionthat there is a, doubtful, fourth genus, Allantospermum FORMAN, which the author reckons to the Ixonanthaceae. It occurs with one species in Borneo and another one in Ma- NOOTEBOOM The dagascar. (1967, 1972) included this genus in Simaroubaceae. morphology, chemotaxonomy, and palynology corroborate this affinity, but the anatomy of wood and leaf (VAN WELZEN & BAAS, 1984) is just in favour of affinity with Ixonanthaceae. We refrain from a long discussion of the merits of HALLIER'S attempt (1923) to have Linaceae as a hugecomplex centre of affinities and confine ourselves to what is usually accepted nowadays in recognizing a few families grouped around Linaceae sensu stricto.

  • Leaf Architecture in Some Euphorbiaceae
    Indian J. Applied & Pure Bio. Vol. 29(2), 343-360 (2014). Leaf architecture in some Euphorbiaceae Sarala C. Tadavi and Vijay V. Bhadane* *Department of Botany, Pratap College, Amalner-425401, (India) E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The present study deals with the leaf architectural study of 44 species distributed over 20 genera of the Euphorbiaceae to provide comprehensive account on the leaf architecture of Euphorbiaceae and its taxonomic significance. The leaves are simple except in Anda and Hevea where leaves are 3-5 foliate. The leaf shape, apex, base, number of areoles and vein endings entering the areoles are species specific. Major venation pattern is pinnate-craspedodromous, pinnate- camptodromous with brochidodromous, weak brochidodromous, festooned brochidodromous, eucamptodromous and reticulodromous secondaries and actinodromous. The highest degree of vein order is up to 6º. Quantitative parameters like the numbers of secondary veins, areoles and vein endings per unit area have using analyzed. The veinlets terminations are mostly conventional tracheids or occasionally dilated. The presence of bundle sheath is common around 1º to 5º veins. Leaf architectural characteristics such as presence of major venation categories, nature of marginal ultimate venation, areoles, presence or absence of bundle sheath and type of leaf margins are found to the helpful in delimiting the taxa study. Key words: Leaf architecture, taxonomy, Euphorbiaceae. Leaf architecture including venation conclusions on a survey of dicotyledonous and pattern has been studied in 20 genera and 44 angiospermous leaves respectively. A perusal species of the Euphorbiaceae. Though the of the past literature revealed that studies on study of leaf architecture is more than a leaf architecture in Euphorbiaceae are almost century old, due importance was not given to negligible1,2,4,8,9,11,13.

K SANKARA RAO and G SHIVARAMIAH Department of Botany, St. Joseph's College, Bangalore 560 001 MS received 18 July 1977; revised 2 November 1977 Abstract. Olacaceae, Ximenia americana L.--Embryology. Anther tapetum glandu- lar. Endothecium fibrous. Cytokinesis in microsporocytes simultaneous. Pollen dimorphic, two-celled. Ovules ategmic, crassinucellar. Embryo sac Polygonum type, produces a haustorial caecum. A comparison with earlier investigations pre- sented. Keywords. Ximenia americana; embryology. 1. Introduction A perusal of the literature reveals that there are no adequate embryological data on the family Olacaceae except for the significant contributions by Fagerlind (1947), Shamanna (1954, 1961) and Agarwal (1961, 1963a, b). The present paper deals with aspects on the embryology of Ximenia americana L. 2. Materials and methods Flower buds at different stages of development were collected from Bannerghatta National Park, Bangalore, and fixed in FAA. Customary methods of dehydration and embedding were followed. Sections were cut at 8-12/zm and stained with Heidenhain's haematoxylin and counterstained with erythrosin. 3. Observations The creamy white flowers are 4--5-merous, actinomorphic, bisexual and hypogynous. Petals are hairy and reflexed. Stamens are twice as many as petals. Anthers are dithecous. Ovary is sessile and incompletely 3-4-celled each with one pendulous ovule (figures I-7). Anthers are tetrasporangiate. A transection of a young anther shows the epider- mis, endothecium, a middle layer and tapetum around the sporogenous tissue (figure 8). The tapetum is of the glandular type and its cells remain uninucleate throughout.
