(Asteraceae): A review of their antimicrobial activity Antonio Carlos Nogueira Sobrinho1*, Selene Maia de Morais1, Elnatan Bezerra de Souza2 and Raquel Oliveira dos Santos Fontenelle2 1Postgraduate Program in Biotechnology-Renorbio, Center for Science and Technology, State University of Ceará, Fortaleza, Brazil. 2Course of Biological Sciences, Center for Agricultural Sciences and Biological Sciences, State University of Vale do Acaraú, Sobral, Brazil. Received 30 November, 2016; Accepted 6 January, 2017 In recent years, the number of infectious diseases linked to the occurrence of bacterial and fungal resistance has increased, leading to extensive search for new drugs to treat these infections. Species of the Asteraceae family and the genus Eupatorium, have high biological potential and are used in folk medicine to treat various diseases. This review article presents the main phytochemical and biological characteristics of the Asteraceae family and the genus Eupatorium s.l., whose antimicrobial activity is promising, especially antibacterial and antifungal activity. The current review was achieved using an organized search of the scientific data published on antimicrobial activity and phytochemical of the species of the genus Eupatorium using various databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Scielo, SciFinder and Google Scholar. The species of Eupatorium are rich in terpenes, phytosterols and sesquiterpene lactones, the latter being chemotaxonomic markers of the group, with broad anticancer, antiplasmodial and antimicrobial activity, making them promising for the development of new drugs.

    Contribution to the genome size knowledge of New World species from the Heliantheae alliance (Asteraceae) Alicia Paniego1, Jose L.

Most genome sizes are accompanied by their own chromosome counts, confirming in most cases, although not all, previous counts for the species, and revealing possible cases of unknown dysploidy or polyploidy for certain taxa. The data contribute to the pool of knowledge on genome size and chromosome numbers in the family Asteraceae and will further allow deeper studies and a better understanding on the role of dysploidy in the evolution of the Heliantheae alliance. However, we still lack data for tribes Chaenactideae, Neurolaeneae, Polymnieae and Feddeeae (the latter, monospecific) to complete the alliance representation. Key words: chromosome counts, Compositae, C-value, flow cytometry, nuclear DNA amount, nuclear DNA content 2 Introduction Genome size is the amount of nuclear DNA in an organism, and it is a very relevant biological character, with which many biotic and abiotic characters are correlated (Bennett and Leitch 2005).

B chromosomesare reportedfor 4 generaand 12 species. Karyotype analysesmade on 20 species of Eupatorieaeand one species of Heliantheaeshowed that total karyotypic lengths of the taxa withn = 16-19 of helianthoidand eupatorioidtaxa are comparableto thoseof some eupatorioidtaxa withn = 10. This is contraryto the previoushypothesis that the higherchromosome numbers n = 16-19 werederived from n = 10 by polyploidizationfollowed by dysploidloss. Cytologicaldata supplementand are consistentwith the following conclusionspredicted from molecular phylogenetical and biochemicaldata: (1) The ultimatebase numberof Eupatorieae is 17, and thelower numbers are derivedby successivedysploid reductions; (2) A reductionin chromosomaland total karyotypiclength accompanied by evolutionaryadvancement has been revealedfor some generaand species within this tribe;(3) A high base numberof x = 17 in Eupatorieaeis consideredto be deriveddirectly from one of the membersof Heliantheaewith n = 17 to 19.

Oak forests of the Sierra de Zapalinamé in northeastern Mexico (25°N) are distributed in canyons and northwest slopes with higher humidity, surrounded by montane chaparral. We carried out a vegetation inventory across an altitudinal gradient. All trees with diameter at breast height of ≥3 cm were identified and measured. In addition, the cover of understory species was measured in each plot. Using multivariate techniques, we detected two oak forest associations: Quercus greggii - Q. mexicana forest and Q. saltillensis - Q. laeta forest. The forests studied are rich in woody species, including 19 tree and 50 shrub species. The number of tree species decreased at lower elevations, but the shrub species increased.

    8 LUNDELLIA DECEMBER, 2013 AN INVENTORY OF THE VASCULAR PLANTS OF AMISTAD NATIONAL RECREATION AREA,VAL VERDE CO., TEXAS Jackie M. Poole Wildlife Diversity Program, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas 78744, U.S.A. Abstract: Amistad National Recreation Area is a 23,186 ha property in Val Verde County, Texas. A floral inventory was conducted in 2003–2004, producing a checklist of 699 taxa with 99 infraspecific taxa, 686 species, 402 genera, and 106 families. There are 651 native taxa and 48 introduced. No federally or state listed plants were documented. Seventeen species of conservation concern were verified within the park. Thirteen taxa endemic to Texas were recorded. Plant communities were also noted and compared to those previously reported for the site.

    GLEANERS’ HANDBOOK Riverside Nature Center 150 Francisco Lemos St. Kerrville, TX 78028 Revised 2011 THE GLEANERS’ HANDBOOK Welcome to the Gleaners group of Riverside Nature Center. We are an informal group of volunteers brought together by our interest in and appreciation of Hill Country wildflowers. There are no dues, fees or other requirements for joining us. You may participate as much or as little as you choose in our various activities, which include a bit of botany, wildflower observation and identification, plant rescue from properties to be developed, and caring for the wildflower meadow at Riverside Nature Center. We also glean seeds from wildflowers to exchange with each other for our gardens, to plant at Riverside, and to share with others in our community with an interest in maintaining our native wildflower diversity. Beginning in 1995, Edith Bettinger, the founder of the Gleaners, developed the information found in the Gleaners’ Handbook. She developed for us a very useful botanical key to use in identifying wildflowers; she also provided a very concise description of plant families. We are forever indebted to Edith for her dedication and her willingness to share her knowledge and for inspiring so many of us. A special thanks to Alma Hobson who helped to clarify the words with her sketches. In 2011, a major revision of the Handbook was undertaken. Scientific names were updated. The section on Wildflowers of Kerr Co. was expanded to include surrounding counties and was turned into a checklist for those of us who want to keep track. We have also provided a list of helpful websites.
