Rheedea Vol. 13 35-38 2 0 0 3 A New Species of Glyphochloa W.D. Clayton (Poaceae) from Goa, India Maria A. Fonseca and M.K. Janarthanam Department of Botany, St. Xaviers College, Mapusa, Goa 403 ‘j 07, India. 'Department of Botany, Goa University, Goa - 403206, India, email: [email protected] Abstract A new species of Glyphochloa, viz.: G. veldkampii M.A. Fonseca ef Janarth. is described from Goa. It is allied to G. talbotii (Hook, f.) Clayton and G. henryi Janarth. et a/, but is distinct from the two species in having a prominent single transverse, cap-like collar on the lower glume of the sessile spikelet. The species is so far known only from the type collection. The type locality has now been covered with fresh soil for afforestation programme Keywords: Glyphochloa veldkampii, New species, Habitat loss Introduction The Indian endemic genus Glyphochloa W.D. Clayton pileato prominenti in spiculae sessilis gluma inferiore is represented by nine species. They are confined to differt. the Central and Peninsular parts of India. All the Type: INDIA, Goa, Kasauli, along the Panaji-Belgaum species of Glyphochloa were earlier treated under highway (NH 4A) in the outskirts of Bhagwan Mahavir Manisuris L. Since 1960 four new species and one new Wildlife Sanctuary, 15°21'30.9" N & 74»11'37.1" E, c. 85 m variety have been added to Manisuris from India (Bor, above msl, 21 October 2001, Jnnartlmiwm & Fonseca 1901 1960; Rao and Hemadri, 1968; Jain and Deshpande, (Holotype, CAL; Isotypes, BSI, MH). 1969; Jain and Hemadri, 1969; Jain, 1972; Kulkarni and Hemadri, 1974). -

Coelorachis Brongn., Hackelochloa O. Ktze, Heteropholis C.E. Hubb., in Ratzeburgia Kunth, and Rottboellia formosa R. Br, are to be included Mnesithea Kunth. Heteropholis cochinchinensis (Lour.) Clayton and its variety chenii (Hsu) Sosef & Koning are varieties of Mnesithea laevis (Retz.) Kunth. Robynsiochloa Jacq.-Félix is to be included in Rottboellia L.f. The necessary new combinations, a list of genera and representative species, and a key to the genera are given. In the Appendix a new species of Rottboellia, R. paradoxa Koning & Sosef, is described from the Philippines. The enigmatic species Rottboellia villosa Poir. is transferred to Schizachyrium villosum (Poir.) Veldk., comb. nov.

Reconstructing the Origin of Oxygenic Photosynthesis: Do Assembly and Photoactivation Recapitulate Evolution?
HYPOTHESIS AND THEORY published: 02 March 2016 doi: 10.3389/fpls.2016.00257 Reconstructing the Origin of Oxygenic Photosynthesis: Do Assembly and Photoactivation Recapitulate Evolution? Tanai Cardona * Department of Life Sciences, Imperial College London, London, UK Due to the great abundance of genomes and protein structures that today span a broad diversity of organisms, now more than ever before, it is possible to reconstruct the molecular evolution of protein complexes at an incredible level of detail. Here, I recount the story of oxygenic photosynthesis or how an ancestral reaction center was transformed into a sophisticated photochemical machine capable of water oxidation. First, I review the evolution of all reaction center proteins in order to highlight that Photosystem II and Photosystem I, today only found in the phylum Cyanobacteria, branched out very early in the history of photosynthesis. Therefore, it is very unlikely that they were acquired via horizontal gene transfer from any of the described phyla of Edited by: anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria. Second, I present a new evolutionary scenario for the Julian Eaton-Rye, origin of the CP43 and CP47 antenna of Photosystem II. I suggest that the antenna University of Otago, New Zealand proteins originated from the remodeling of an entire Type I reaction center protein and Reviewed by: Anthony William Larkum, not from the partial gene duplication of a Type I reaction center gene. Third, I highlight University of Technology, Sydney, how Photosystem II and Photosystem I reaction center proteins interact with small Australia Martin Hohmann-Marriott, peripheral subunits in remarkably similar patterns and hypothesize that some of this Norwegian University of Science and complexity may be traced back to the most ancestral reaction center. -

Received 21 March, 2016; Accepted 15 September, 2016 This preliminary investigation describes the diversity and distribution of lichens from the different archaeological monuments of Sonitpur district, located in the Eastern Himalayan region of India, which is a part of Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot. It is a land of natural beauty and rich cultural heritage and it is well reflected in the number of archaeological sites and monuments of ancient time at this region. Enumerations of 38 species of lichen belonging to 21 genera and 15 families have been reported from the archaeological monuments of Sonitpur district. 6 species are new records for this state. Members of Physciaceae showed higher dominance with 11 species followed by Teloschistaceae with 4 species and Lecanoraceae and Verrucariaceae each containing 3 species, respectively. Cryptothecia subnidulans is the most widespread species, reported from 7 study sites. Key words: Diversity, Eastern Himalayan, heritage, hot spot, species. INTRODUCTION Lichens are a stable self-supporting association of a can withstand xeric conditions which other plants find mycobiont and a phycobiont in which the mycobiont is the unfavourable for their growth and survival. -

Optimization and Characterization of the Growth Of
OPTIMIZATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE GROWTH OF THE PHOTOSYNTHETIC BACTERIUM BLASTOCHLORIS VIRIDIS AND A BRIEF SURVEY OF ITS POTENTIAL AS A REMEDIATIVE TOOL A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Darcy Danielle LaClair, B.S. ___________________________________ Agnes E. Ostafin, Director Graduate Program in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Notre Dame, Indiana April 2006 OPTIMIZATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE GROWTH OF THE PHOTOSYNTHETIC BACTERIUM BLASTOCHLORIS VIRIDIS AND A BRIEF SURVEY OF THEIR POTENTIAL AS A REMEDIATIVE TOOL Abstract by Darcy Danielle LaClair The growth of B. viridis was characterized in an undefined rich medium and a well-defined medium, which was later selected for further experimentation to insure repeatability. This medium presented a significant problem in obtaining either multigenerational or vigorous growth because of metabolic limitations; therefore optimization of the medium was undertaken. A primary requirement to obtain good growth was a shift in the pH of the medium from 6.9 to 5.9. Once this shift was made, it was possible to obtain growth in subsequent generations, and the media formulation was optimized. A response curve suggested optimum concentrations of 75 mM carbon, supplemented as sodium malate, 12.5 mM nitrogen, supplemented as ammonium sulfate, Darcy Danielle LaClair and 12.7 mM phosphate buffer. In addition, the vitamins p-Aminobenzoic acid, Thiamine, Biotin, B12, and Pantothenate were important to achieving good growth and good pigment formation. Exogenous carbon dioxide, added as 2.5 g sodium bicarbonate per liter media also enhanced growth and reduced the lag time. -
