  • 1083 a Ground-Breaking Study Published 5 Years Ago Revealed That
    American Journal of Botany 100(6): 1083–1094. 2013. SPECIAL INVITED PAPER—EVOLUTION OF PLANT MATING SYSTEMS P OLLINATION AND MATING SYSTEMS OF APODANTHACEAE AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF REPRODUCTIVE TRAITS 1 IN PARASITIC ANGIOSPERMS S IDONIE B ELLOT 2 AND S USANNE S. RENNER 2 Systematic Botany and Mycology, University of Munich (LMU), Menzinger Str. 67 80638 Munich, Germany • Premise of the study: The most recent reviews of the reproductive biology and sexual systems of parasitic angiosperms were published 17 yr ago and reported that dioecy might be associated with parasitism. We use current knowledge on parasitic lineages and their sister groups, and data on the reproductive biology and sexual systems of Apodanthaceae, to readdress the question of possible trends in the reproductive biology of parasitic angiosperms. • Methods: Fieldwork in Zimbabwe and Iran produced data on the pollinators and sexual morph frequencies in two species of Apodanthaceae. Data on pollinators, dispersers, and sexual systems in parasites and their sister groups were compiled from the literature. • Key results: With the possible exception of some Viscaceae, most of the ca. 4500 parasitic angiosperms are animal-pollinated, and ca. 10% of parasites are dioecious, but the gain and loss of dioecy across angiosperms is too poorly known to infer a statisti- cal correlation. The studied Apodanthaceae are dioecious and pollinated by nectar- or pollen-foraging Calliphoridae and other fl ies. • Conclusions: Sister group comparisons so far do not reveal any reproductive traits that evolved (or were lost) concomitant with a parasitic life style, but the lack of wind pollination suggests that this pollen vector may be maladaptive in parasites, perhaps because of host foliage or fl owers borne close to the ground.

Mingan, Luzon, Philippines PIETER B. PELSER1, DANILO N. TANDANG2 & JULIE F. BARCELONA1 1School of Biological Sciences, University of Canterbury, Private Bag 4800, Christchurch 8140, New Zealand. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] 2Philippine National Herbarium (PNH), Botany Division, National Museum of the Philippines, P. Burgos St., Manila, Philippines. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Balanophora coralliformis Barcelona, Tandang & Pelser is described as a new species of Balanophoraceae. It is unique in its coral-like appearance due to the repeated branching of elongated, above-ground tubers and their coarse texture. It most closely resembles B. papuana in details of the staminate inflorescence and is sympatric with this species at its only known site in the montane forest of Mt. Mingan, bordering Aurora and Nueva Ecija provinces, Luzon, Philippines. Introduction Balanophora J.R. Forster & G. Forster (1775: 99) is a genus of root parasites in temperate and tropical Asia, the Pacific, tropical Australia, the Comores, Madagascar, and tropical Africa (Hansen 1972, 1976). On the basis of morphological differences, Hansen (1999) recognized 15 species of Balanophora, but a molecular phylogenetic study of B. japonica Makino (1902: 212) and B. yakushimensis Hatusima & Masamune (Hatusima 1971: 61) suggests that a more narrow species delimitation might need to be adopted in this genus (Su et al. 2012).

Walck Department of Biology, Middle Tennessee State University, Murfreesboro, TN 37132, USA *Email: [email protected] Diterima/Received: 29 Desember 2015; Disetujui/Accepted: 8 Juni 2016 Abstrak Telah dilakukan tinjauan literatur untuk meringkas informasi, terutama karya ilmiah yg baru diterbitkan, pada biologi Rafflesia. Sebagian besar publikasi terkini adalah pemberian nama species baru pada Rafflesia. Sejak tahun 2002, sepuluh spesies telah ditemukan di Filipina dibandingkan dengan tiga spesies di Indonesia. Karya terbaru filogenetik juga telah dieksplorasi (misalnya sejarah evolusi genus Rafflesia dan gigantisme, transfer horizontal gen dan hilangnya genom kloroplas) dan anatomi (misalnya endofit, pengembangan bunga); studi terbaru lainnya berfokus pada biokimia. Sayangnya, masih banyak informasi yang belum diketahui misalnya tentang siklus hidup, biologi dan hubungan ekologi pada Rafflesia. Kebanyakan informasi yang tersedia berasal dari hasil pengamatan. Misalnya penurunan populasi telah diketahui secara umum yang kadang kadang dikaitkan dengan kerusakan habitat atau gangguan alam tapi penyebab-penyebab yang lain tidak diketahui dengan pasti. Pertanyaan yang belum terjawab antara lain pada biologi reproduksi, struktur genetik populasi dan keragaman. Dengan adanya perubahan iklim secara global, kita amat membutuhkan studi populasi jangka panjang dalam kaitannya dengan parameter lingkungan untuk membantu konservasi Rafflesia.

Apart from the flower shoot and associated bracts, the parasite is a myce- lium-like endophyte living inside their grapevine hosts. This study provides a comprehensive treatment of the endophytic vegetative body for all three genera of Rafflesiaceae (Rafflesia, Rhizanthes and Sapria), and reports on the cytology and development of the endophyte, including its structural connection to the host, shedding light on the poorly understood nature of this symbiosis. † Methods Serial sectioning and staining with non-specific dyes, periodic–Schiff’s reagent and aniline blue were employed in order to characterize the structure of the endophyte across a phylogenetically diverse sampling.

Flower development was divided into five distinct phases: (1) emergence, (2) post-emergence, (3) bract, (4) perigone, and (5) anthesis. Fruit development was monitored from flower senescence until fruiting and maturation. A total of 512 individual buds were monitored – discovered at different stages of bud development. Only nine buds were monitored from post-emergence until the perigone phase. A bloom rate of 19.73% and an overall mortality rate of 77.34% were recorded. Mortality was highest during the early phases (post-emergence and bract) and lowest at the perigone phase. R. consueloae exhibited nocturnal flowering; wherein anthesis usually begins at dusk, signaled by the detachment of the first lobe, and from there on, full bloom took 15 ± 5.85 h to complete. Flowering was at its highest during the coldest and driest months of the year – between December and April.
