An Overview of Family Pottiaceae (Bryopsida) in Central India with Special Reference to Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve (PBR)
Lindbergia 34: 30–39, 2011 ISSN 0105-0761 Accepted 11 January 2011 An overview of family Pottiaceae (Bryopsida) in central India with special reference to Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve (PBR) Virendra Nath, A. K. Asthana and Reesa Gupta V. Nath, A. K. Asthana ([email protected]) and R. Gupta, Bryology Laboratory, National Botanical Research Inst., 226 001 Lucknow, India. The family Pottiaceae is one of the dominant acrocarpous moss family of India, with approximately 26 genera and 130 species being encountered. The present work intends to take up distribution of the members of the family in the central Indian region with nearly 22 taxa being reported earlier. Achanakmar – Amarkantak Biosphere Reserve, Bhimbetka world heritage site, Gujarat, Mt. Abu and Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve (PBR) are some important hotspots of bryophyte vegetation in central India. Among these, PBR listed under UNESCO’s Man and Biosphere (MAB) Programme is an important site of bryophyte vegetation. Mosses of PBR however have not been studied until now. Here we assess the status of family Pottiaceae in central Indian zone along with providing an illustrated account of eight species encountered from PBR. Among these, Hyophila spathulata (Harv.) Jaeg. and Oxystegus teneuirostre (Hook. et Tayl.) A.J.E. Smith are new additions to central India, while Semibarbula ranuii Gangulee and Weissia edentula Mitt. are being reported from PBR for the first time. India is well known for its floristic diversity of various plant betka world heritage site (Nath and Bansal 2009), 11 taxa groups. Indian researchers have broadly divided India into from Mt. Abu (Chaudhary and Deora 2001) and eight eight bryo-geographical regions (Singh 1997). -
Liverworts, Mosses and Hornworts of Afghanistan - Our Present Knowledge
ISSN 2336-3193 Acta Mus. Siles. Sci. Natur., 68: 11-24, 2019 DOI: 10.2478/cszma-2019-0002 Published: online 1 July 2019, print July 2019 Liverworts, mosses and hornworts of Afghanistan - our present knowledge Harald Kürschner & Wolfgang Frey Liverworts, mosses and hornworts of Afghanistan ‒ our present knowledge. – Acta Mus. Siles. Sci. Natur., 68: 11-24, 2019. Abstract: A new bryophyte checklist for Afghanistan is presented, including all published records since the beginning of collection activities in 1839 ‒1840 by W. Griffith till present. Considering several unidentified collections in various herbaria, 23 new records for Afghanistan together with the collection data can be added to the flora. Beside a new genus, Asterella , the new records include Amblystegium serpens var. serpens, Brachythecium erythrorrhizon, Bryum dichotomum, B. elwendicum, B. pallens, B. weigelii, Dichodontium palustre, Didymodon luridus, D. tectorum, Distichium inclinatum, Entosthodon muhlenbergii, Hygroamblystegium fluviatile subsp. fluviatile, Oncophorus virens, Orthotrichum rupestre var. sturmii, Pogonatum urnigerum, Pseudocrossidium revolutum, Pterygoneurum ovatum, Schistidium rivulare, Syntrichia handelii, Tortella inflexa, T. tortuosa, and Tortula muralis subsp. obtusifolia . Therewith the number of species increase to 24 liverworts, 246 mosses and one hornwort. In addition, a historical overview of the country's exploration and a full biogeography of Afghan bryophytes is given. Key words: Bryophytes, checklist, flora, phytodiversity. Introduction Recording, documentation, identification and classification of organisms is a primary tool and essential step in plant sciences and ecology to obtain detailed knowledge on the flora of a country. In many countries, such as Afghanistan, however, our knowledge on plant diversity, function, interactions of species and number of species in ecosystems is very limited and far from being complete. -

CANO*, OLAF WERNER and JUAN GUERRA Departamento de Biología Vegetal (Botánica), Facultad de Biología, Universidad de Murcia, E-30100, Spain Received March 2005; accepted for publication June 2005 Specimens belonging to Tortula subulata complex (T. inermis, T. mucronifolia and T. subulata) were analysed using a combination of morphometric methods based on quantitative characters [principal component analysis (PCA), dis- criminant analysis (DA); 76 samples)] and molecular methods (ITS1 – 5.8S rRNA gene and ITS2; 47 samples) to assess patterns of morphological and molecular differentiation within this complex of taxa. The study shows that four species can be recognized: T. mucronifolia, T. subulata, T. inermis and T. subulata var. angustata with bistratose border, which is elevated to the species rank as T. schimperi nom. nov. The most valuable quantitative characters for identification of these species are the strata number of the marginal laminal cells, the ratio of middle marginal laminal cell width/middle marginal laminal cell length, basal membrane of peristome length, middle laminal cell width and papillae number on the middle laminal cells. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) data suggest that this group of taxa is not monophyletic, T. mucronifolia being close to Protobryum bryoides (= Tortula protobryoides). The remaining species seem to be a monophyletic group, T. -

Sea Wall Biodiversity Handbook by Tim Gardiner, Rob Pilcher and Max Wade
Sea Wall Biodiversity Handbook Sea Wall Tim Gardiner, Biodiversity Officer at the Environment Agency, Rob Pilcher, Ecology Team Leader for North West England at AECOM and Max Wade, Technical Director (Ecology) at AECOM, have a long standing interest in the ecology and management of sea wall habitats. Their handbook on sea wall biodiversity brings together a wealth of knowledge about this Cinderella habitat based on the authors’ experience of practical management and the flora and fauna of sea walls. The handbook highlights the breadth of plant and animal species living and relying on sea walls and provides practical guidance for managers of sea defences to ensure that their biodiversity value is by conserved and enhanced.

Complete Mitochondrial Genome Sequence of the &Ldquo
Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the “copper moss” Mielichhoferia elongata reveals independent nad7 gene functionality loss Denis V. Goryunov1, Svetlana V. Goryunova2, Oxana I.

Troitsky1 1 Belozersky Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia 2 Institute of General Genetics Russian Academy of Science, Moscow, Russia 3 Tsitsin Main Botanical Garden Russian Academy of Science, Moscow, Russia ABSTRACT The mitochondrial genome of moss Mielichhoferia elongata has been sequenced and assembled with Spades genome assembler. It consists of 100,342 base pairs and has practically the same gene set and order as in other known bryophyte chondriomes. The genome contains 66 genes including three rRNAs, 24 tRNAs, and 40 conserved mitochondrial proteins genes. Unlike the majority of previously sequenced bryophyte mitogenomes, it lacks the functional nad7 gene. The phylogenetic reconstruction and scrutiny analysis of the primary structure of nad7 gene carried out in this study suggest its independent pseudogenization in different bryophyte lineages. Evaluation of the microsatellite (simple sequence repeat) content of the M. elongata mitochondrial genome indicates that it could be used as a tool in further studies as a phylogenetic marker. The strongly supported phylogenetic tree presented here, derived from 33 protein coding sequences of Submitted 4 September 2017 40 bryophyte species, is consistent with other reconstructions based on a number 19 January 2018 Accepted of different data sets.
