Staminal Evolution in the Genus Salvia (Lamiaceae): Molecular Phylogenetic Evidence for Multiple Origins of the Staminal Lever
Staminal Evolution In The Genus Salvia (Lamiaceae): Molecular Phylogenetic Evidence For Multiple Origins Of The Staminal Lever Jay B. Walker & Kenneth J. Sytsma (Dept. of Botany, University of Wisconsin, Madison) Annals of Botany (in press) Abstract • Background and Aims - The genus Salvia has traditionally included any member of the tribe Mentheae (Lamiaceae) with only two stamens and with each stamen expressing an elongate connective. The recent demonstration of the non-monophyly of the genus presents interesting implications for staminal evolution in the tribe Mentheae. In the context of a molecular phylogeny, we characterize the staminal morphology of the various lineages of Salvia and related genera and present an evolutionary interpretation of staminal variation within the tribe Mentheae. • Methods. Two molecular analyses are presented in order to investigate phylogenetic relationships in the tribe Mentheae and the genus Salvia. The first presents a tribal survey of the Mentheae and the second concentrates on Salvia and related genera. Schematic sketches are presented for the staminal morphology of each major lineage of Salvia and related genera. • Key Results. These analyses suggest an independent origin of the staminal elongate connective on at least three different occasions within the tribe Mentheae, each time with a distinct morphology. Each independent origin of the lever mechanism shows a similar progression of staminal change from slight elongation of the connective tissue separating two fertile thecae to abortion of the posterior thecae and fusion of adjacent posterior thecae. We characterize a monophyletic lineage within the Mentheae consisting of the genera Lepechinia, Melissa, Salvia, Dorystaechas, Meriandra, Zhumeria, Perovskia, and Rosmarinus. • Conclusions. -

The Asparagus Genome Sheds Light on the Origin and Evolution of a Young Y Chromosome
ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-01064-8 OPEN The asparagus genome sheds light on the origin and evolution of a young Y chromosome Alex Harkess et al.# Sex chromosomes evolved from autosomes many times across the eukaryote phylogeny. Several models have been proposed to explain this transition, some involving male and female sterility mutations linked in a region of suppressed recombination between X and 1234567890 Y (or Z/W, U/V) chromosomes. Comparative and experimental analysis of a reference genome assembly for a double haploid YY male garden asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) individual implicates separate but linked genes as responsible for sex determination. Dioecy has evolved recently within Asparagus and sex chromosomes are cytogenetically identical with the Y, harboring a megabase segment that is missing from the X. We show that deletion of this entire region results in a male-to-female conversion, whereas loss of a single sup- pressor of female development drives male-to-hermaphrodite conversion. A single copy anther-specific gene with a male sterile Arabidopsis knockout phenotype is also in the Y-specific region, supporting a two-gene model for sex chromosome evolution. Correspondence and requests for materials should be addressed to Y.Y. (email: [email protected]) or to J.H.L.-M. (email: [email protected]) or to G.C.

The antioxidant fraction was isolated from the plant material by super- critical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) fractional extraction under a pressure of 30 MPa and at temperatures of 40 and 100 °C. In the present study, kinetic data and yields of antioxidant extracts obtained from dried leaves of rosemary and sage under different conditions were determined. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy assay on the ability of the extracts to scavenge stable 2,2- -diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radicals and reactive hydroxyl radicals during the Fenton reaction trapped by 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide (DMPO) showed that the investigated extracts had antioxidant activity comparable to that of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and commercial rosemary extract. -

In the past, spices were very valuable articles of exchange, for many countries they assured a source of wealth and richness. Today, spices are lower in price, but they are essential of foods to any type of nation. In addition to synthetic aromatic compounds, spices from natural resources have increasing importance again. UNESCO – EOLSS The majority of spices not only add flavor and aroma to our foods, but contribute to their preservationSAMPLE and nutritive value. Although CHAPTERS the flavoring role of spices in our food cannot be separated from their other (curing, antimicrobal, antioxidant, etc.) actions, in this article we try to introduce some of the most important plants selected according to their importance as condiments. -
F6.2 Eastern Garrigue
European Red List of Habitats - Heathland Habitat Group F6.2 Eastern garrigue Summary This is open, low scrub dominated by sclerophyllous shrubs and sub-shrubs that is derived from degraded evergreen forest and maquis in the eastern Mediterranean including the Black Sea coast, and sustained by summer aridity, grazing and fire. The floristic composition is diverse and dependent on geographical position across the range, altitude and the particularity of human impact. Abandonment or intensive grazing are the main threats and no particular conservation measures are needed if traditional agriculture is maintained. Synthesis Relatively few quantitative data exist, but all information indicates that the habitat is Least Concern (LC), as declines in quality are relatively small and the habitat is widespread and increasing in area in the Eastern Mediterranean. Overall Category & Criteria EU 28 EU 28+ Red List Category Red List Criteria Red List Category Red List Criteria Least Concern - Least Concern - Sub-habitat types that may require further examination Various communities and associations have been identified within the distribution range of the habitat, which might be considered geographically and ecologically distinguished sub-habitat types and would require further examination.

Vegetation Survey of Mount Gorongosa
VEGETATION SURVEY OF MOUNT GORONGOSA Tom Müller, Anthony Mapaura, Bart Wursten, Christopher Chapano, Petra Ballings & Robin Wild 2008 (published 2012) Occasional Publications in Biodiversity No. 23 VEGETATION SURVEY OF MOUNT GORONGOSA Tom Müller, Anthony Mapaura, Bart Wursten, Christopher Chapano, Petra Ballings & Robin Wild 2008 (published 2012) Occasional Publications in Biodiversity No. 23 Biodiversity Foundation for Africa P.O. Box FM730, Famona, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe Vegetation Survey of Mt Gorongosa, page 2 SUMMARY Mount Gorongosa is a large inselberg almost 700 sq. km in extent in central Mozambique. With a vertical relief of between 900 and 1400 m above the surrounding plain, the highest point is at 1863 m. The mountain consists of a Lower Zone (mainly below 1100 m altitude) containing settlements and over which the natural vegetation cover has been strongly modified by people, and an Upper Zone in which much of the natural vegetation is still well preserved. Both zones are very important to the hydrology of surrounding areas. Immediately adjacent to the mountain lies Gorongosa National Park, one of Mozambique's main conservation areas. A key issue in recent years has been whether and how to incorporate the upper parts of Mount Gorongosa above 700 m altitude into the existing National Park, which is primarily lowland. [These areas were eventually incorporated into the National Park in 2010.] In recent years the unique biodiversity and scenic beauty of Mount Gorongosa have come under severe threat from the destruction of natural vegetation. This is particularly acute as regards moist evergreen forest, the loss of which has accelerated to alarming proportions. -

Teucrium Fruticans Azurem Rosemary
MG of Alameda Co LIVERMORE DEMO GARDEN – 2018 PLANTS OF THE MONTH JANUARY: PLANT OF THE MONTH Bush Germander — Teucrium fruticans Azurem Upright silver foliaged evergreen shrub that grows to 4-5’. Covered in an iridescent, blue blooms year- round, but especially so in the winter months. Grown in full sun in the garden but can tolerate dry shade as well. A favorite of bees. Pairs well with CA Fuchsia and Bulbine in the sun and Limonium in the shade. An UC Davis Arboretum All Star http://arboretum.ucdavis.edu/allstars_detail_85.aspx FEBRUARY: PLANT OF THE MONTH Irene/Huntington Carpet (Trailing Rosemary) — Rosmarinus officinalis We have both varieties planted along the wall entrance to the county office. It was planted about 8-9 years ago and really has never been touched. We trim it every few years when it grows far into the path below that it becomes a hazard. It blooms most magnificently this time of year, especially alongside the Ceanothus Valley Violet, but it blooms throughout the year. The bees love it. It grows about a foot tall, but then trails nicely down the wall. Some of the groundcover rosemary can get to 3-4' because the branches grow over one another. If you like year-round color/interest, low maintenance, minimal water need, fragrance, edible and something to attract beneficial insects as well as covering a slope or wall - Trailing Rosemary would be a great addition to your garden. 1 | P a g e MG of Alameda Co LIVERMORE DEMO GARDEN – 2018 PLANTS OF THE MONTH MARCH: PLANT OF THE MONTH Golden Currant — Ribes aureum This California native plant drips with honey like blooms in March. -
