(2003): Check- and Red List of bryophytes of the Czech Republic (2003). – Preslia, Praha, 75: 193–222. The second version of the checklist and Red List of bryophytes of the Czech Republic is provided. Generally accepted infraspecific taxa have been incorporated into the checklist for the first time. With respect to the Red List, IUCN criteria version 3.1 has been adopted for evaluation of taxa, and the criteria used for listing in the respective categories are listed under each red-listed taxon. Taxa without recent localities and those where extinction has not been proven are listed as a subset of DD taxa. Little known and rare non-threatened taxa with incomplete knowledge of distribution which are worthy of further investigation are listed on the so-called attention list. In total, 849 species plus 5 subspecies and 19 varieties have been accepted. 23 other historically reported species and one va- riety were evaluated as doubtful with respect to unproven but possible occurrence in the territory, and 6 other species with proven occurrence require taxonomic clarification. -

Keys for the Determination of Families of Pleurocarpous Mosses of Africa
Keys for the determination of families of pleurocarpous mosses of Africa E. Petit Extracted from: Cléfs pour la determination des familles et des genres des mousses pleurocarpes (Musci) d'AfriqueBull. Jard. Bot. Nat. Belg. 48: 135-181 (1978) Translated by M.J.Wigginton, 36 Big Green, Warmington, Peterborough, PE and C.R. Stevenson, 111 Wootton Road, King's Lynn, Norfolk, PE The identification of tropical African mosses is fraught with difficulty, not least because of the sparseness of recent taxonomic literature. Even the determination of specimens to family or genus can be problematical. The paper by Petit (1978) is a valiant attempt to provide workable keys (and short descriptions) to all the families and genera of African pleurocarpous mosses, and remains the only such comprehensive treatment. Whilst the shortcomings of any such keys apply, the keys have nonetheless proved to be of assistance in placing specimens in taxonomic groups. However, for the non-French reader, the use of the keys can be a tedious business, necessitating frequent recourse to dictionaries and grammars. Members of the BBS have made collections in a number of tropical African countries in recent years, including on the BBS expedition to Malawi and privately to Madagascar, Tanzania and Zaire. This provided the impetus for making a translation of Petit's keys. Neither of us is an expert linguist, and doubtless in places, some of the subtleties of the language have escaped us. A rather free translation has sometimes proved necessary in order to give the sense of the text. Magill's Glossarium Polyglottum Bryologicae has been valuable in assisting with technical terms. -

Molecular Phylogeny of Chinese Thuidiaceae with Emphasis on Thuidium and Pelekium
Molecular Phylogeny of Chinese Thuidiaceae with emphasis on Thuidium and Pelekium QI-YING, CAI1, 2, BI-CAI, GUAN2, GANG, GE2, YAN-MING, FANG 1 1 College of Biology and the Environment, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing 210037, China. 2 College of Life Science, Nanchang University, 330031 Nanchang, China. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We present molecular phylogenetic investigation of Thuidiaceae, especially on Thudium and Pelekium. Three chloroplast sequences (trnL-F, rps4, and atpB-rbcL) and one nuclear sequence (ITS) were analyzed. Data partitions were analyzed separately and in combination by employing MP (maximum parsimony) and Bayesian methods. The influence of data conflict in combined analyses was further explored by two methods: the incongruence length difference (ILD) test and the partition addition bootstrap alteration approach (PABA). Based on the results, ITS 1& 2 had crucial effect in phylogenetic reconstruction in this study, and more chloroplast sequences should be combinated into the analyses since their stability for reconstructing within genus of pleurocarpous mosses. We supported that Helodiaceae including Actinothuidium, Bryochenea, and Helodium still attributed to Thuidiaceae, and the monophyletic Thuidiaceae s. lat. should also include several genera (or species) from Leskeaceae such as Haplocladium and Leskea. In the Thuidiaceae, Thuidium and Pelekium were resolved as two monophyletic groups separately. The results from molecular phylogeny were supported by the crucial morphological characters in Thuidiaceae s. lat., Thuidium and Pelekium. Key words: Thuidiaceae, Thuidium, Pelekium, molecular phylogeny, cpDNA, ITS, PABA approach Introduction Pleurocarpous mosses consist of around 5000 species that are defined by the presence of lateral perichaetia along the gametophyte stems. Monophyletic pleurocarpous mosses were resolved as three orders: Ptychomniales, Hypnales, and Hookeriales (Shaw et al. -

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. -

AMBRA1 Controls Plant Development and Senescence in Physcomitrella Patens
Presentation type: Oral Presentation, Poster Presentation (underline the preferred type) AMBRA1 controls plant development and senescence in Physcomitrella patens. Alessandro Alboresi1, Jessica Ceccato1, Tomas Morosinotto1, Luisa Dalla Valle1. The first one should be the presenting/corresponding author (underlined) 1Dipartimento di Biologia, Università di Padova, Via Ugo Bassi 58/B, 35121, Padova ([email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]) Autophagy is a universal mechanism that in plants control development, resistance to stresses and starvation. The role of autophagy is possible thanks to the programmed degradation of cell material that is delivered to the vacuole where hydrolases and proteases are localized. So far, many autophagy-related proteins (ATGs) have been identified. Some of them are universal, some are either specific to animals, plants or yeast. ATG protein complexes govern autophagosome initiation, nucleation, expansion, and maturation. In particular, the regulation of nucleation by the ATG6 (Beclin-1 in mammals) complex has not been well defined in plants. Here we described the study of the Activating Molecule in Beclin 1-Regulated Autophagy (AMBRA1) protein, recently identified in mice and then characterized in our department in zebrafish and in the non-vertebrate chordate Botryllus schlosseri. In animals AMBRA1 is a positive regulator of autophagy that binds Beclin-1 upon autophagic stimuli. AMBRA1 is a large intrinsically disordered protein, able to bind other regulatory partners involved in cell processes such as autophagy, apoptosis, cell proliferation, development and cancer. AMBRA1 sequence was found in plant genomes and we are studying its function in Physcomitrella patens where two lowly expressed genes are present, AMBRA1a and AMBRA1b.
