  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page.

    GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School At the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Kate L. Hertweck Dr. J. Chris Pires, Dissertation Advisor JULY 2011 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS Presented by Kate L. Hertweck A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Dr. J. Chris Pires Dr. Lori Eggert Dr. Candace Galen Dr. Rose‐Marie Muzika ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many people for their assistance during the course of my graduate education. I would not have derived such a keen understanding of the learning process without the tutelage of Dr. Sandi Abell. Members of the Pires lab provided prolific support in improving lab techniques, computational analysis, greenhouse maintenance, and writing support. Team Monocot, including Dr. Mike Kinney, Dr. Roxi Steele, and Erica Wheeler were particularly helpful, but other lab members working on Brassicaceae (Dr. Zhiyong Xiong, Dr. Maqsood Rehman, Pat Edger, Tatiana Arias, Dustin Mayfield) all provided vital support as well. I am also grateful for the support of a high school student, Cady Anderson, and an undergraduate, Tori Docktor, for their assistance in laboratory procedures. Many people, scientist and otherwise, helped with field collections: Dr. Travis Columbus, Hester Bell, Doug and Judy McGoon, Julie Ketner, Katy Klymus, and William Alexander. Many thanks to Barb Sonderman for taking care of my greenhouse collection of many odd plants brought back from the field.

  • In Vitro Cultivation of Ruscus Aculeatus L. and Ruscus Hypoglossum L
    In vitro cultivation of Ruscus aculeatus L. and Ruscus hypoglossum L. (Liliaceae) Teodora A. Ivanova PhD thesis, Sofia, 2012 Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences; 23 Acad. G. Bonchev Str., Sofia 1000, Bulgaria; e-mail: [email protected]; PhD supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Tatyana Stoeva Summary Ruscus aculeatus L. and R. hypoglossum (Liliaceae) are small evergreen shrubs used both in gardening and as cut foliage. The rhizomes of R. aculeatus are widely collected as a drug source of steroid saponins with antiinflammatory, venotonic and antihaemoroidal activity. Both species are considered conservationally important in several countries due to the fact that cut foliage and rhizomes have been collected predominantly from the wild. In Bulgaria a regulated regime of gathering was prescribed for R. aculeatus and R. hypoglossum. The natural slow reproduction cycle and specific culture requirements hinder wide field cultivation. Recently, in vitro cultivation of both species has been performed for the production of planting material and conservation purposes mainly with material of Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian origin. However many technological aspects remained unsolved and the micropropagation protocols contained unequivocal and unclear parameters. The aim of this thesis was to initiate in vitro cultures of R. aculeatus and R. hypoglossum from donor material of Bulgarian wild origin and to assess the influence of different culture factors on in vitro propagation and conservation: explant type, plant growth regulators and their concentration, culture type and sugar content. The characterization of the clonal variability and effect of culture conditions on plant genetic integrity was conducted by means of flow cytometry (DNA content and genome stability) and PAGE isozyme analyses of peroxidase (POD), asterase (EST), and acid phosphatase (ACP).

This durable member of the lily family is an SPECIFIC EPITHET: hypophyllum evergreen semiwoody ground cover native principally to northwest Africa, but is probably also native to southern Spain. R. hypophyllum, which is related to the numerous Asparagus species that are also popular cut foliages, has semi-glossy, dark green, thornless "leaves" that are actually stem modifications called cladodes or cladophylls. R. hypophyllum has upright, branchless stems, up to 3 feet [1 m] in height, and elliptic to ovate cladodes, up to about 3 inches [8 cm] long and 1 1/2 inches [4 cm] wide in size. R. hypophyllum is sometimes incorrectly labeled as R. aculeatus (Butcher's broom), which has smaller, spiny cladodes and freely branched stems. R. hypophyllum is typically dioecious (plants are unisexual, with separate male and female plants). Flowers are produced in the center of the cladodes and may be on the upper and lower surfaces. The fruits (berries) are bright red and about 1/2 inch [1.3 cm] long. Figure 1. Ruscus hypophyllum is an extremely durable cut foliage crop. Credits: Robert H. Stamps 1.

The present study belongs to the international efforts for plant conservation in the areas endangered by human activities. Ruscus aculeatus L. is one of the threatened plants (included in all national red list of vascular plants from Romania) that grow in the Natural Park Comana, Southern Romania. Seedlings and fragments of rhizome, from plants grown in the natural habitat have been used for in vitro plant regeneration and multiplication. After successfully rooting and acclimatization of the regenerated plantlets, histological studies have been performed in order to compare the regenerants from in vitro cultures with plants from natural habitat. The results indicated that this plant species can be multiplicated, rooted and acclimatized on synthetic medium (MS supplemented with NAA, IBA, kinetin and BAP) with a good efficiency and the regenerants develop a only a few structural modification under vitroculture conditions, with no major consequences for a normal physiology and plant acclimatization.

  • Calcium Oxalate Crystals in Monocotyledons: a Review of Their Structure and Systematics
    Annals of Botany 84: 725–739, 1999 Article No. anbo.1999.0975, available online at http:\\www.idealibrary.com on Calcium Oxalate Crystals in Monocotyledons: A Review of their Structure and Systematics CHRISTINA J. PRYCHID and PAULA J. RUDALL Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 3DS, UK Received: 11 May 1999 Returned for Revision: 23 June 1999 Accepted: 16 August 1999 Three main types of calcium oxalate crystal occur in monocotyledons: raphides, styloids and druses, although intermediates are sometimes recorded. The presence or absence of the different crystal types may represent ‘useful’ taxonomic characters. For instance, styloids are characteristic of some families of Asparagales, notably Iridaceae, where raphides are entirely absent. The presence of styloids is therefore a synapomorphy for some families (e.g. Iridaceae) or groups of families (e.g. Philydraceae, Pontederiaceae and Haemodoraceae). This paper reviews and presents new data on the occurrence of these crystal types, with respect to current systematic investigations on the monocotyledons. # 1999 Annals of Botany Company Key words: Calcium oxalate, crystals, raphides, styloids, druses, monocotyledons, systematics, development. 1980b).

  • CHRISTMAS PLANTS AROUND the WORLD Practice of Using Decorated Trees in Religious Celebrations Extends Into Theantiquity
    ARNOLDIA A continuation of the BULLETIN OF POPULAR INFORMATION of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University VOLUME 19 DECEMBER 11, 1959 NUMBERS 10-12 CHRISTMAS PLANTS AROUND THE WORLD practice of using decorated trees in religious celebrations extends into THEantiquity. The old Germanic priests hung lights on the sacred trees beneath which they offered sacrifices. Wherever they travelled, the Roman legions deco- rated pine trees with little masks of Bacchus in the festival of Saturnalia. Euro- pean legend attributes the origin of Christmas trees to an eighth-century English- man, St. Boniface, a missionary in Germany. Before a crowd of barbarians one Christmas Eve, he cut down a sacred oak beneath which they had made human sacrifices. A young fir tree which had remained undamaged by the fall was pre- sented to the people with the explanation, "This little tree, a young child of the forest, shall be your holy tree tonight." The holy tree it has remained. Legend also has it that Martin Luther was the first to use lights as part of the decorations for Christmas. The earliest authentic record of Christmas trees as we know them today is in a manuscript in which a Strassburg merchant wrote in 1605, "At Christmas, they set up fir trees in the parlours at Strassburg and hang thereon roses cut out of many coloured paper, apples, wafers, goldfoil, sweets, etc." Most historians are in agreement with the St. Boniface legend that the first Christmas tree was a fir. The custom originated in the beech belt of central Eu- rope where a single green fir in the defoliated brown beech forest becomes strik- ingly symbolic.

  • A Chemotaxonomic Comparison of the Genera Asparagus and Ruscus (Liliaceae)
    Stefan Nikolov & Cavdar Gusev A chemotaxonomic comparison of the genera Asparagus and Ruscus (Liliaceae) Abstract Nikolov, S. & Gusev, c.: A chemotaxonomic comparison of the genera Asparagus and Ruscus (Liliaceae). - Bocconea 5: 765-770.1997. - ISSN 1120-4060. A review of steroidal sapogenins (SGs) found in Asparagus and Ruscus species is presented. Intergeneric differences in SG content and structure can be observed. For Asparagus mono­ hydroxy-SGs are characteristic, whereas in Ruscus di- and trihydroxy-SGs are found. Some published data, which appear to contradict this generai piclure, called for a phytochemical reinvestigation of A. verticillatus, A. maritimus, and R. ponticus. The results do noI confirm the presence of (dihydroxy-SG) ruscogenin in Asparagus or of (monohydroxy-SG) diosgenin in Ruscus, thus supporting the assumption that the two genera have no SGs in common. Introduction Different taxonomic views exist on the position of the genera Asparagus L. and Ruscus L. (Engler 1888, Hutchinson 1959, Tahtadzjan 1966, 1987, Huber 1969, Dahlgren & al. 1985). Steroidal saponins or sapogenins (SG) have been used as chemotaxonomic mark­ ers for the two genera (Hegnauer 1986). These compounds are common to both, but whether they show intergeneric structural differences is not yet fully understood. Such differences might be found in the oxygen content of SGs (Borin & Gottlieb 1993). The aim of the present study is to reassess the published reports on the presence of ruscogenin in Asparagus maritimus and A. verticillatus, and diosgenin in Ruscus ponticus, since these reports contradict the presence of consistent chemotaxonomic differences between the two genera on the basis of the structure of their sapogenins.
