BOUFFORD2 Harvard University Herbaria 22 Divinity Avenue Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138-2020 [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Dot maps are provided to depict the distribution at the county level of the taxa of Magnoliophyta: Fabaceae growing outside of cultivation in the six New England states of the northeastern United States. The maps treat 172 taxa (species, subspecies, varieties, and hybrids, but not forms) based primarily on specimens in the major herbaria of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, with most data derived from the holdings of the New England Botanical Club Herbarium (NEBC). Brief synonymy (to account for names used in standard manuals and floras for the area and on herbarium specimens), habitat, chromosome information, and common names are also provided. KEY WORDS: flora, New England, atlas, distribution, Fabaceae This article is the eleventh in a series (Angelo & Boufford 1996, 1998, 2000, 2007, 2010, 2011a, 2011b, 2012a, 2012b, 2012c) that presents the distributions of the vascular flora of New England in the form of dot distribution maps at the county level (Figure 1). Seven more articles are planned. The atlas is posted on the internet at http://neatlas.org, where it will be updated as new information becomes available. This project encompasses all vascular plants (lycophytes, pteridophytes and spermatophytes) at the rank of species, subspecies, and variety growing independent of cultivation in the six New England states.

  • Overview of Vicia (Fabaceae) of Mexico

Turner Plant Resources Center, The University of Texas, 110 Inner Campus Drive, Stop F0404, Austin TX 78712-1711 [email protected] Abstract: Vicia has 12 species in Mexico; 4 of the 12 are introduced. Two new names are proposed: Vicia mullerana B.L. Turner, nom. & stat. nov., (based on V. americana subsp. mexicana C.R. Gunn, non V. mexicana Hemsl.), and V. ludoviciana var. occidentalis (Shinners) B.L. Turner, based on V. occidentalis Shinners, comb. nov. Vicia pulchella Kunth subsp. mexicana (Hemsley) C.R. Gunn is better treated as V. sessei G. Don, the earliest name at the specific level. A key to the taxa is provided along with comments upon species relationships, and maps showing distributions. Keywords: Vicia, V. americana, V. ludoviciana, V. pulchella, V. sessei, Mexico. Vicia, with about 140 species, is widely (1979) provided an exceptional treatment distributed in temperate regions of both of the Mexican taxa, nearly all of which were hemispheres (Kupicha, 1982). Some of the illustrated by full-page line sketches. As species are important silage, pasture, and treated by Gunn, eight species are native to green-manure legumes. Introduced species Mexico and four are introduced. I largely such as V. faba, V. hirsuta, V. villosa, and follow Gunn’s treatment, but a few of his V. sativa are grown as winter annuals in subspecies have been elevated to specific Mexico, but are rarely collected. Gunn rank, or else treated as varieties. KEY TO THE SPECIES OF VICIA IN MEXICO (largely adapted from Gunn, 1979) 1.

Vicia villosa, V. cracca, V. vicioides, V. pseudocracca, V. disperma, V. tenuifolia and V. monardii) have been purified by Lectins ultrafiltration and gel filtration chromatography, and characterized. All lectins belonged to the single-chain N-Acetyl-galactosamine legume lectin group, having four subunits with molecular weights around 35–40 kDa, and a native molecular weight around 160–170 kDa. A dendogram based on amino acid composition matched the grouping based on quaternary structure.

N-acetyl-galactosamine is abundant in animal proteins such as mucins, and is part of the Tn antigen that has been related with malignancy, metastasis and bad prognosis in cancer. Hence, lectins from these Vicia seeds may be of interest for targeting cancerous cells and other animal cells that expose N- acetyl-galactosamine in their glycocalix. 1. Introduction graminea (Prigent and Bourrillon, 1976) belong to the single-chain group.

  • Raffinose Family Oligosaccharides in Seeds of Common Vetch (Vicia Sativa L
    LR-491 [1-6] Legume Research, AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH COMMUNICATION CENTRE Print ISSN:0250-5371 / Online ISSN:0976-0571 www.arccjournals.com Raffinose family oligosaccharides in seeds of common vetch (Vicia sativa L. ssp. sativa) L.B. Lahuta1, W. Rybiński2, J. Bocianowski*3, K. Nowosad4 and A. Börner5 Department of Plant Physiology, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Genetics and Biotechnology, Oczapowskiego 1A/103, 10-719 Olsztyn, Poland. Received: 10-04-2019 Accepted: 10-08-2019 DOI: 10.18805/LR-491 ABSTRACT The composition and content of low-molecular weight soluble carbohydrates in seeds of 66 accessions of common vetch (Vicia sativa L. ssp. sativa) stored in the Polish and German gene banks, originating from Europe, Asia, Middle East and North Africa, were analyzed using a gas chromatography method. Genotypes showed differences in the composition of carbohydrates depending on the origin of seeds. Common features of accessions were: i) the predominance of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) in soluble carbohydrates, and ii) verbascose as the main oligosaccharide in RFOs. Several accessions with lowered RFOs content were identified. They may be suitable for breeding focused on diminishing RFOs, as antinutritional compounds in seeds. Key words: Common vetch, Seeds, Raffinose oligosaccharides, Vicia. INTRODUCTION Much less attention is paid to non-toxic raffinose The species common vetch (Vicia sativa L. ssp. family oligosaccharides (RFOs), present in considerable sativa) is widely cultivated in many areas of the world, amounts in seeds of legumes (up to 12% of dry weight-DW). playing an important role both as feed for livestock and food In seeds of some Vicia species, the RFOs content reaches up for humans, especially in regions with unfavorable conditions to 10% DW (Lahuta et al.
