Checklist of the Vascular Alien Flora of Catalonia (Northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3
BOTANICAL CHECKLISTS Mediterranean Botany ISSNe 2603-9109 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/mbot.63608 Checklist of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3 Received: 7 March 2019 / Accepted: 28 June 2019 / Published online: 7 November 2019 Abstract. This is an inventory of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) updated to 2018, representing 1068 alien taxa in total. 554 (52.0%) out of them are casual and 514 (48.0%) are established. 87 taxa (8.1% of the total number and 16.8 % of those established) show an invasive behaviour. The geographic zone with more alien plants is the most anthropogenic maritime area. However, the differences among regions decrease when the degree of naturalization of taxa increases and the number of invaders is very similar in all sectors. Only 26.2% of the taxa are more or less abundant, while the rest are rare or they have vanished. The alien flora is represented by 115 families, 87 out of them include naturalised species. The most diverse genera are Opuntia (20 taxa), Amaranthus (18 taxa) and Solanum (15 taxa). Most of the alien plants have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century (70.7%), with a strong increase since 1970 (50.3% of the total number). Almost two thirds of alien taxa have their origin in Euro-Mediterranean area and America, while 24.6% come from other geographical areas. The taxa originated in cultivation represent 9.5%, whereas spontaneous hybrids only 1.2%. From the temporal point of view, the rate of Euro-Mediterranean taxa shows a progressive reduction parallel to an increase of those of other origins, which have reached 73.2% of introductions during the last 50 years. -

We hope that this will make our report more easily accessible, since you may chose to store it on your hard disk. We made solid progress during 2004 towards our goal of completing our host range testing of our two most promising potential biological control agents for Cape ivy. We overcame a summertime ‘crash’ of our laboratory colonies, and by year’s end had strong colonies of both the gall fly, Parafreutreta regalis, and the stem-boring moth, Digitivalva delaireae. By the end of 2004, we had tested more than 80 species of plants, and neither of our candidate agents was able to complete development on anything other than their Cape ivy host. The single dark cloud has been the continuing downturn in external funds to support our Cape ivy research, especially that conducted by our cooperators in Pretoria, South Africa. While we have managed to maintain a small research effort there, our cooperators are no longer assisting us in our host range evaluations. -
Response of Euryops Pectinatus L. Plants to Different Types of Fertilizers and Growth Retardants
Middle East Journal of Applied Volume : 08 | Issue :02 |April-June| 2018 Sciences Pages: 492-507 ISSN 2077-4613 Response of Euryops pectinatus L. Plants to Different Types of Fertilizers and Growth Retardants 1Ashour H.A., 1Heider S. M. and 2Abdel Wahab M. Mahmoud 1Department of Ornamental Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt. 2Department of Plant Physiology, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, Giza, Egypt. Received: 26 Feb. 2018 / Accepted: 30 April 2018/ Publication date: 14 May 2018 ABSTRACT This research was carried out at the experimental nursery of the Ornamental Horticulture Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University, during two successive seasons of 2016 and 2017. The aim of present study was to evaluate the effect of two different types of fertilizers, growth retardants and their interaction on vegetative growth, flowering, chemical constituents and anatomical structure of Euryops pectinatus plants. The plants were fertilized with either conventional NPK fertilizer or with Osmocote as slow release fertilizer, in addition to unfertilized plants were used as a control. Simultaneously the plants were foliar sprayed monthly with either paclobutrazol (PAC) 50 and 100 ppm or Cycocel (CCC) 1000 and 1500 ppm, in addition to the control plants sprayed with tap water. The results showed that fertilization treatments significantly increased most vegetative growth parameters (plant height, number of branches/plant, stem diameter, plant width, show value, fresh and dry weights of shoots, root length as well as fresh and dry weights of roots), flowering characteristics (flowers number/plant, flowers diameter and flowers fresh and dry weights) as well as chemical constituents including the contents of total chlorophylls, total carbohydrates, N, P, K, Fe, Mn, Zn, total indoles and total phenols compared to unfertilized control plants. -

We have tested more than 80 species of plants, and neither of our candidate agents was able to complete development on anything other than their Cape ivy host.{See sections II & III] We have collated our results, and are preparing a formal ‘petition’ seeking permission to release both of these agents in the field. This ‘petition’ will be submitted to TAG during the second quarter of 2007. We hope to receive a positive recommendation from TAG within 6 months. The outlook for receiving a release permit from USDA-APHIS-PPQ has improved, but is still not clear. -

Multiple Polyploidization Events Across Asteraceae with Two Nested
Multiple Polyploidization Events across Asteraceae with Two Nested Events in the Early History Revealed by Nuclear Phylogenomics Chien-Hsun Huang,1 Caifei Zhang,1 Mian Liu,1 Yi Hu,2 Tiangang Gao,3 Ji Qi,*,1, and Hong Ma*,1 1State Key Laboratory of Genetic Engineering and Collaborative Innovation Center for Genetics and Development, Ministry of Education Key Laboratory of Biodiversity Sciences and Ecological Engineering, Institute of Plant Biology, Institute of Biodiversity Sciences, Center for Evolutionary Biology, School of Life Sciences, Fudan University, Shanghai, China 2Department of Biology, Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences, Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA 3State Key Laboratory of Evolutionary and Systematic Botany, Institute of Botany, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China *Corresponding authors: E-mails: [email protected]; [email protected]. Associate editor: Hideki Innan Abstract Biodiversity results from multiple evolutionary mechanisms, including genetic variation and natural selection. Whole- genome duplications (WGDs), or polyploidizations, provide opportunities for large-scale genetic modifications. Many evolutionarily successful lineages, including angiosperms and vertebrates, are ancient polyploids, suggesting that WGDs are a driving force in evolution. However, this hypothesis is challenged by the observed lower speciation and higher extinction rates of recently formed polyploids than diploids. Asteraceae includes about 10% of angiosperm species, is thus undoubtedly one of the most successful lineages and paleopolyploidization was suggested early in this family using a small number of datasets. Here, we used genes from 64 new transcriptome datasets and others to reconstruct a robust Asteraceae phylogeny, covering 73 species from 18 tribes in six subfamilies. We estimated their divergence times and further identified multiple potential ancient WGDs within several tribes and shared by the Heliantheae alliance, core Asteraceae (Asteroideae–Mutisioideae), and also with the sister family Calyceraceae. -

Dr. Stefan Dullinger “Whatever makes the past, the distant, or the future, predominate over the present, advances us in the dignity of thinking beings.” Samuel Johnson (1791) “In the 1950s, the planet still had isolated islands, in both geographical and cultural terms - lands of unique mysteries, societies, and resources. By the end of the 20th century, expanding numbers of people, powerful technology, and economic demands had linked Earth’s formerly isolated, relatively non-industrialized places with highly developed ones into an expansive and complex network of ideas, materials, and wealth.” Lutz Warren and Kieffer (2010) ACKNOWLEDGEMENT As for many others, the last few years have been an up and down, however, I made it through thanks to my family, friends and colleagues without whom this wouldn’t have been possible.

My brother and one of my best friends, Dietmar, who provided me through emotional support in many situations and shares my love to mountains and sports: Thank you!
