    SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO BOTANY NUMBER 68 Morphological, Anatomical, and Taxonomic Studies in Anomochloa and Streptochaeta (Poaceae: Bambusoideae) Emmet J. Judziewicz and Thomas R. Soderstrom SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS Washington, D.C. 1989 ABSTRACT Judziewicz, Emmet J., and Thomas R. Soderstrom. Morphological, Anatomical, and Taxonomic Studies in Anomochloa and Streptochaeta (Poaceae: Bambusoideae). Smithsonian Contributions to Botany, number 68,52 pages, 24 figures, 1 table, 1989.-Although resembling the core group of the bambusoid grasses in many features of leaf anatomy, the Neotropical rainforest grass genera Anomochloa and Streptochaeta share characters that are unusual in the subfamily: lack of ligules, exceptionally long microhairs with an unusual morphology, a distinctive leaf blade midrib structure, and 5-nerved coleoptiles. Both genera also possess inflorescences that are difficult to interpret in conventional agrostological terms. Anomochloa is monotypic, and A. marantoidea, described in 1851 by Adolphe Brongniart from cultivated material of uncertain provenance, was rediscovered in 1976 in the wet forests of coastal Bahia, Brazil. The inflorescence terminates in a spikelet and bears along its rachis several scorpioid cyme-like partial inflorescences. Each axis of a partial inflorescence is subtended by a keeled bract and bears as its first appendages two tiny, unvascularized bracteoles attached at slightly different levels. The spikelets are composed of an axis that bears two bracts and terminates in a flower. The lower, chlorophyllous, deciduous spikelet bract is separated from the coriaceous, persistent, corniculate upper bract by a cylindrical, indurate internode. The flower consists of a low membrane surmounted by a dense ring of brown cilia (perigonate annulus) surrounding the andrecium of four stamens, and an ovary bearing a single hispid stigma.
  • Plant Anatomy Lab 13 – Seeds and Fruits

    Plant Anatomy Lab 13 – Seeds and Fruits

    Plant Anatomy Lab 13 – Seeds and Fruits In this (final) lab, you will be observing the structure of seeds of gymnosperms and angiosperms and the fruits of angiosperms. Much of the work will be done with a dissecting microscope, but a few prepared slides will also be used. A set of photocopied images from the plant anatomy atlas will be available as a handout. You can use the handout to help you identify the various structures we will be looking at in seeds and fruits. Also, a fruit key is available as a separate handout. Remember that we will be considering only a small fraction of the structural diversity present among seeds of gymnosperms and the seeds and fruits of angiosperms. Seeds Gymnosperms Obtain a prepared slide of an immature pine ovule and of a mature pine ovule. You will be able to tell them apart from the following observations. • Looking at the immature ovule, you will see a megagametophyte with one or more archegonia at the end near the micropyle. The egg inside may or may not have been fertilized. • Also find the nucellus and integument tissues. Next look at a slide of a mature ovule. Instead of the megagametophyte, you will find a developing embryo. As part of this embryo, find the • cotyledons, • the radicle (embryonic root), and the • shoot apical meristem. Depending on its age, you may also notice procambial strands running between the embryonic root and the shoot apex. Points to consider: We might say that gymnosperms and angiosperms have seeds but only angiosperms have fruits - Why is that? Why don’t we consider the seed cone of a pine tree a fruit? Angiosperms Dicot Obtain a bean pod.

  • Structure, Physical Characteristics, and Com- Position of the Pericarp and Integument of Johnson Grass Seed in Relation to Its Physiology 1

    Structure, Physical Characteristics, and Com- Position of the Pericarp and Integument of Johnson Grass Seed in Relation to Its Physiology 1

    STRUCTURE, PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS, AND COM- POSITION OF THE PERICARP AND INTEGUMENT OF JOHNSON GRASS SEED IN RELATION TO ITS PHYSIOLOGY 1 By GEORGE T. HARRINGTON, formerly Scientific Assistant, Seed-Testing Laboratories, and WILLIAM CROCKER, formerly Plant Physiologist, Drug Plant, Poisonous Plant, Physiological and Fermentation Investigations, Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture. INTRODUCTION These investigations were undertaken in hope of explaining some fea- tures of the behavior of Johnson grass seeds during their initial dormancy, their period of after-ripening, and their germination. As has been shown elsewhere (15) ,2 Johnson grass seeds belong to that group whose well- matured embryos are never'appreciably dormant, the dormancy of the intact fruit being imposed by its outer, nonliving structures. These include (1) the closely adhering, hard, brittle scales, (2) the fused pericarp and inner integument. Removal of the former hastens the germination and increases the germination capacity of the caryopses, whether these are freshly gathered, are fully after-ripened, or are in process of after- ripening, but does not appreciably affect the rate of after-ripening. Furthermore, removal of the fused pericarp and integument by corrosion with concentrated sulphuric acid or even its removal over one side of the embryo by means of a sharp needle induces the complete germination within three or four days even of freshly gathered grains which, without such treatment, would scarcely germinate at all in weeks or months. It has also been shown (15, 16) that the germination of Johnson grass seeds is highly dependent upon the maintenance of alternating temper- atures, that this sensitiveness to temperature conditions disappears upon the removal of the seed coverings, and that certain chemical substances exert a stimulating action upon their germination, particularly after the removal of the caryopses from the inclosing scales.

    Acorn Planting

    Oak Harbor Garry Oak (Quercus garryana) Acorn Planting 10/09/14 by Brad Gluth Acorn Acquisition 1) Garry oak acorns have to be collected and planted in the Autumn that they are shed from the trees unless stored in refrigeration. 2) Gather acorns from beneath local trees only. Oaks hybridize easily and we are trying to preserve the genetics of the local trees. Acorn Selection 3) Float test the acorns. Place the acorns in a container of water. Remove and discard those that float. This is a density test and the floating acorns have been compromised through pests or other causes. Select the largest acorns from those that sank for planting. The larger acorns have more vigorous seedling growth. 4) Do not allow the acorns to dry out. It is best to not store them indoors. Planting Containers 5) Pots should be a minimum of 10” deep with drain holes. (Garry oaks quickly develop a deep tap root of up to 10” in the first season.) Soil Mix 6) The soil mix should be a well-draining mix. Sand mixed with potting soil works well. Planting 7) Soak acorns in water for 5 to 10 minutes prior to planting. 8) Plant 2-3 of the largest acorns on their side in each pot. Cover each acorn with about 1/4” of soil. (If more than one acorn germinates, the seedlings can be thinned, or separated from the pots for replanting.) 9) After planting, 1” of mulch should be placed on top of the soil. If available, oak leaf mulch is recommended.
