Addition to the Cytology of Monocots from District Kangra (Hp)
ADDITION TO THE CYTOLOGY OF MONOCOTS FROM DISTRICT KANGRA (H.P.) OF WESTERN HIMALAYAS, INDIA Harpreet Kaur1, Santosh Kumari2, and Raghbir Chand Gupta2 1Department of Botany, Guru Nanak College for Girls, Sri Muktsar Sahib ( India) 2Department of Botany, Punjabi University, Patiala (India) ABSTRACT At present, the meiotic/varied chromosome numbers are reported for 27 species (33 cytotypes) belonging to 24 genera of 5 families of Monocots from district Kangra of Himachal Pradesh in the Western Himalayas. On the basis of the world-wide data, the chromosome counts for the two taxa as Lolium remotum var. aristatum (n=7) and Cymbopogon clandestinus (n=10) have been cytologically worked out for the first time. Seventeen species as Commelina hasskarlii (n=11, 30), C. kurzii (n=30), Murdannia nudiflora (n=12), Cyperus flavidus (n=32), Acrachne racemosa (n=6), Andropogon tristris (n=20), Brachiaria remota (n=16), Chrysopogon serrulatus (n=20), Digitaria granularis (n=36), Isachne albens (n=5), Microstegium vagans (n=20), Panicum antidotale (n=16), Pennisetum lanatum (n=21), P. purpureum (n=21), Pogonatherum crinitum (n=14), Setaria barbata (n=16) and S. homonyma (n=16) make new chromosome counts in the form of additional cytotypes on the world-wide basis. Also, the presence of B-chromosomes in the hexaploid cytotype (n=21+1B) of Avena fatua var. fatua are shown for the first time. To supplement the Indian data, chromosome counts for the ten species as Canna discolor (n=9), Briza minor (n=5), Bromus catharticus (n=21), Echinochloa crus-pavonis (n=27), Paspalum distichum (2n=50), Pennisetum lanatum (n=18), P. -

From these species, 135 are native taxa, and 11 are archeophytes. In addition, one taxon is now considered to be extinct. Among the 147 taxa, 8 are endemic species. Central Europe, including Poland, does not have many endemic species. Only a few dozen endemic species have been identified in this paper, mainly in the Carpathians and the adjacent uplands, e.g., the Polish Jura in southern Poland. The most numerous genera among the 32 present in the crop wild relatives (CWR) of Poaceae family are: The genus Festuca (33 species), Poa (19), and Bromus (11). In turn, ten genera are represented by only one species per genus. A good representative of groups of grasses occur in xerothermic grasslands, and other smaller groups can be found in forests, mountains, or dunes. CWR species from the Poaceae family have the potential for different uses in terms of the ecosystem services benefit. -

JOURNAL OF PLANT PROTECTION RESEARCH Vol. 47, No. 4 (2007) NEW HOST-SPECIES OF CLAVICEPS PURPUREA (FR.) TUL. FROM POACEAE FAMILY IN LITHUANIA Rita Mikaliūnaitė*, Zenonas Dabkevičius Šiauliai University, Department of Environmental, Nature Science Faculty, Lithuania Received: July 9, 2007 Accepted: November 6, 2007 Abstract: New host-plants of ergot pathogen Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul. were identified in Poaceae (R. Brown) Barnharth family in Lithuania during the surveys arranged over the period 2001–2006. There were identified 8 new Poaceae family plant species affected by C. purpurea: Melica altissima L., Bromus secalinus L., Deshampsia flexuosa (L.) Trin., Festuca pseudalmatica K., Helictotrichon sempervirens (Vill.) Pilg., Phalaris paradoxa L., Secale montana L., Stipa turkestanica K. The results of previous research as well our findings indicate that 87 Poaceae family plant species are known to be affected by ergot in Lithuania. Key words: Claviceps purpurea, ergot, sclerotia, Poaceae, host-plant INTRODUCTION Poaceae (R. Brown) Barnhart family is one of the most numerous angiospermous plant families. According to Tzvelev (1989), more than 10 300 species are included in this family. In Lithuania there have been identified 22 Poaceae plant species that be- long to 51 genera of which 8 genera include only cultivated and alien, the remaining 43 genera represent spontaneous flora of Lithuania (Bagdonaitė et al. 1963). There have been identified 44 adventive Poaceae plant species belonging to 122 genera that occur in Lithuania’s nature (Gudžinskas 1997). Many of the plant species of this family are being introduced in Lithuania’s botanical gardens and in plant growers’ collections. One of the most damaging pathogens that affects Poaceae family plants is a patho- genic widely-specialised fungus Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul. -
