  • Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny
    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report. For further information, see the references on the last page.

Lecythidoideae is limited to the Neotropics and is the only naturally occurring subfamily of Le- cythidaceae in the New World. A subset of genera with zygomorphic flowers—Bertholletia, Corythophora, Eschweilera and Lecythis—comprises a group of about 125 species called the Bertholletia clade. A previous study based on plastid ndhF and trnL-F genes supported the monophyly of Corythophora but suggested that Eschweilera and Lecythis are not mono- phyletic. Using this study as a baseline, we sampled more taxa and sequenced more loci to address the taxonomic problems of the ambiguous genera and to determine relationships within the Bertholletia clade. Our results support the monophyly of the Bertholletia clade as previously circumscribed. In addition, Corythophora is monophyletic, and the two accessions of Bertholletia excelsa come out together on the tree. Results of the simultaneous analysis do not support the monophyly of Lecythis or Eschweilera.

  • Application of Hyphenated Analytical Techniques in the Investigation of Selenium Speciation of Different Plants
    Summary of Doctoral Thesis Application of hyphenated analytical techniques in the investigation of selenium speciation of different plants ANIKÓ NÉMETH Supervisor Mihály Dernovics, PhD Department of Applied Chemistry Faculty of Food Science Corvinus University of Budapest Budapest, 2015 PhD School/Program Name PhD School of Life Sciences Field Food Science Head Prof. József Felföldi, PhD Department of Physics and Control Faculty of Food Science Corvinus University of Budapest Supervisor Mihály Dernovics, PhD Department of Applied Chemistry Faculty of Food Science Corvinus University of Budapest The applicant met the requirements of the PhD regulations of the Corvinus University of Budapest and the thesis is accepted for the defence process. ............................................... ............................................... Head of PhD School Supervisor 1 INTRODUCTION The biological importance of selenium (Se) is due to its essentiality for the majority of organisms - including humans. Among others, it plays an important role in the antioxidant system of many organisms through the incorporation of selenocysteine - the 21st amino acid - into various antioxidant enzymes (Papp et al. 2010). Selenium is thus essential for maintaining the redox homeostasis and also can be utilized in chemoprevention of chronic diseases, such as chronic inflammation, cancer or cardiovascular disease (Hatfield et al. 2014). Dietary selenium supplementation received considerable attention in the last decades, since many studies showed that it is effective in counteracting some negative effects of our modern lifestyle (Rayman 2012). Since the daily intake of selenium in Hungary is lower than that is necessary for the optimal operation of our body (Szabó et al. 1991), the missing amount of selenium should be ingested in the form of selenium rich or Se-enriched foodstuff or food supplements.

Mori2,* 1Institute of Botany, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan 115, Republic of China 2Nathaniel Lord Britton Curator of Botany, Institute of Systematic Botany, The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York 10458-5126, USA (Received April 19, 2001; Accepted August 31, 2001) Abstract. The seed coat anatomy of representative species from all 10 Neotropical genera of Lecythidaceae subfam- ily Lecythidoideae and from the Paleotropical Barringtonia (Lecythidaceae subfamily Planchonioideae) was studied. The seed coat is mainly composed of the testa, which is developed through moderate or intensive multiplication of the outer integument of the ovule. The tegmen, derived from the inner integument of the ovule, is mostly crushed at seed maturity. Barringtonia and Grias, with fruits as diaspores, have an unspecialized exotesta and a poorly differ- entiated seed coat. In contrast, species of Lecythidoideae, with seeds as diaspores, possess well-differentiated seed coats with diversified protective mechanisms. Examples include: an expanded and lignified exotesta that serves as a water barrier and protects the embryo; an extensive area of tannin cells that provides a chemical defense against pathogens and predators; a thick and sclerotic mesotesta that protects the embryo; and large fibers surrounding and supporting

Using diversity indices (Shannon-Wiener), plant knowledge is compared among communities (urban- rural population), and between sex (male-female) and age (older or younger than 40 years) categories within each community. Among our informants, we found quantitative differences concerning the knowledge of medicinal plants between sex and age categories. Some individuals play a key role relating to medicinal plant knowledge, and steps should be taken in order to include them in management and conservation plans. Key words: ethnobotany, diversity indices, plant knowledge and use, Rio Negro, Brazilian Amazon.
