The 6th Balkan Botanical Congress, a prominent and renowned scientific gathering, aims once again to bring together botanists involved in research of plant life of the Balkan Peninsula 5 with emphasis on the conservation of biodiversity of this extremely rich flora and vegetation. The purpose of the Congress is also to provide an excellent opportunity to hear the latest results, to share research experiences and to develop new and strengthen the existing contacts between colleagues from different countries. The program of the Congress includes four lecture days that will allow plenary, oral and poster presentations, social events, mid-congress excursions and a post-congress field trip. The Book of Abstracts comprises over 200 presentations by more than 500 scientists, covering the areas of plant anatomy and morphology, taxonomy, floristics, alien and invasive plants researches, phylogeography and phylogeny, conservation issues, vegetation and ecology, traditional uses of plants and ethnobatanical studies, historical and archaebotanical researches and other botanical disciplines, all contributing to better understanding of beautiful, vibrant, rich and mysterious plant life of the Balkans. We wish you all a successful congress work, fruitful discussions and a pleasant stay in Rijeka.

Callus induction from leaf base explants occurred in the dark on three media with MS mineral solution containing 4.52 μM dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 4.83 μM naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 0.46 μM kinetin (Kin), 5% sucrose and 200 mg L-1 casein hydrolysate. The media differed only in vitamin and/or proline content. Calli from ovary culture were achieved on MS medium contain- ing 45.25 μM 2,4-D. The mean percentage of callus induction from leaf base explants was 18.9%, with no sig- nificant differences between media, and 27.3% from ovary sections. All embryogenic calli were formed on MS media containing 0.45 μM 2,4-D, 4.44 μM benzyladenine (BA) and 0.49 μM indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) under low light intensity (25 μE m-2s-1).

  • On Tropical Drosera Rotundifolia L
    Technical Refereed Contribution On tropical Drosera rotundifolia L. Andreas Fleischmann • Botanische Staatssammlung München and GeoBio-Center LMU University • Menzinger Strasse 67 • D-80638 Munich • Germany • [email protected] Abstract: Two aspects on the morphology and biology of the Philippine population of D. rotundifo- lia were not answered by Coritico and Fleischmann (2016), namely its seed morphology and sea- sonal growth cycle - especially regarding hibernaculum formation, as it is known from its temperate congeners. These gaps can now be covered from observations made from cultivated plants and shall be reported here. Further aspects on the biology of Philippine D. rotundifolia (and other tropical populations of temperate Drosera) in cultivation and natural habitat are presented. Distribution and altitudinal range of Drosera rotundifolia The generic type species of Drosera, Drosera rotundifolia L., is probably the most well-known sundew species, at least to people from the Northern Hemisphere. It is also the most widespread1, its range spans the entire boreal region (Fig. 1; Meusel et al. 1965). Its southernmost populations in the Northern Hemisphere are situated in SE China, in the mountain ranges of northern Guangdong province, at ca. 24.5°N (Coritico & Fleischmann 2016). In Europe its more or less continuous range reaches to ca. 39°N to the south in central Spain, in North America to ca. 34°N in northern Georgia and Alabama states, in Japan to 30°N on the island of Yakushima (Coritico & Fleischmann 2016). Additionally, D. rotundifolia shows a few isolated outlier populations in some areas of the Mediter- ranean [e.g. on the isle of Corsica, France (Delange & Hugot 2020), in the Sierra Nevada of southern Spain (Lorite 2016), and in northern Greece (just three sites known in the Rhodope Mountains; The- odoropoulos & Eleftheriadou 2012)], in central Lebanon (Diels 1906; Tohmé & Tohmé 2007; despite erroneous claims, e.g.

  • Comparative Analysis and Implications of the Chloroplast Genomes of Three Thistles (Carduus L., Asteraceae)
    Comparative analysis and implications of the chloroplast genomes of three thistles (Carduus L., Asteraceae) Joonhyung Jung1,*, Hoang Dang Khoa Do1,2,*, JongYoung Hyun1, Changkyun Kim1 and Joo-Hwan Kim1 1 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi, Korea 2 Nguyen Tat Thanh Hi-Tech Institute, Nguyen Tat Thanh University, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam * These authors contributed equally to this work. ABSTRACT Background. Carduus, commonly known as plumeless thistles, is a genus in the Asteraceae family that exhibits both medicinal value and invasive tendencies. However, the genomic data of Carduus (i.e., complete chloroplast genomes) have not been sequenced. Methods. We sequenced and assembled the chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequences of three Carduus species using the Illumina Miseq sequencing system and Geneious Prime. Phylogenetic relationships between Carduus and related taxa were reconstructed using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference analyses. In addition, we used a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the protein coding region of the matK gene to develop molecular markers to distinguish C. crispus from C. acanthoides and C. tenuiflorus. Results. The cpDNA sequences of C. crispus, C. acanthoides, and C. tenuiflorus ranged from 152,342 bp to 152,617 bp in length. Comparative genomic analysis revealed high conservation in terms of gene content (including 80 protein-coding, 30 tRNA, and four rRNA genes) and gene order within the three focal species and members of subfamily Carduoideae. Despite their high similarity, the three species differed with respect to the number and content of repeats in the chloroplast genome. Additionally, eight Submitted 28 February 2020 hotspot regions, including psbI-trnS_GCU, trnE_UUC-rpoB, trnR_UCU-trnG_UCC, Accepted 11 December 2020 Published 14 January 2021 psbC-trnS_UGA, trnT_UGU-trnL_UAA, psbT-psbN, petD-rpoA, and rpl16-rps3, were identified in the study species.

Academic Editor: Reinhard Länger Received: 18 August 2015; Accepted: 27 May 2016; Published: 27 May 2016 Abstract: The value of root and rhizome anatomy for the taxonomic characterisation of 59 species classified into 34 genera and 12 subtribes from the Asteraceae tribes Cardueae and Cichorieae was assessed. In addition, the evolutionary history of anatomical characters was reconstructed using a nuclear ribosomal DNA sequence-based phylogeny of the Cichorieae. Taxa were selected with a focus on pharmaceutically relevant species. A binary decision tree was constructed and discriminant function analyses were performed to extract taxonomically relevant anatomical characters and to infer the separability of infratribal taxa, respectively. The binary decision tree distinguished 33 species and two subspecies, but only five of the genera (sampled for at least two species) by a unique combination of hierarchically arranged characters. Accessions were discriminated—except for one sample worthy of discussion—according to their subtribal affiliation in the discriminant function analyses (DFA). However, constantly expressed subtribe-specific characters were almost missing and even in combination, did not discriminate the subtribes.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed the presence of glandular trichomes on the leaves, which appeared as glandular dots that are considered the main sites of bio- synthesis and accumulation of sesquiterpene lactones. Using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy analyses, we identify and characterized 3-deoxyamphoricarpolide, a known ses- quiterpene lactone for the genus Amphoricarpos Vis. Regarding chemotaxonomic significance, 3-deoxyamphoricarpolide represents a link between Balkan and Caucasian species of the genus.
