Their continued management level support has been essential to the development of this monitoring program. Lichen collections and field work: Field work was largely completed by the authors. Mary Muller contributed many lichens to the inventory collected in her capacity as Regional Botanist during the past 10 years. Field work was aided by Sarah Ryll of the Stikine Area, Elizabeth Wilder and Walt Tulecke of Antioch College, and Bill Pawuk, Stikine Area ecologist. Lichen identifications: Help with the lichen identifications was given by Irwin Brodo of the Canadian National Museum, John Thomson of the University of Wisconsin at Madison, Pak Yau Wong of the Canadian National Museum, and Bruce McCune at Oregon State University.

Maffei y Department of Life Sciences and Systems Biology, University of Turin, Via Quarello 15/a, 10135 Turin, Italy; massimo.maff[email protected]; Tel.: +39-011-670-5967 This work is dedicated to Husnu Can Baser for his 70th birthday. y Received: 7 August 2020; Accepted: 4 September 2020; Published: 7 September 2020 Abstract: (E)-β-caryophyllene (BCP) is a natural sesquiterpene hydrocarbon present in hundreds of plant species. BCP possesses several important pharmacological activities, ranging from pain treatment to neurological and metabolic disorders. These are mainly due to its ability to interact with the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) and the complete lack of interaction with the brain CB1. A systematic analysis of plant species with essential oils containing a BCP percentage > 10% provided almost 300 entries with species belonging to 51 families. The essential oils were found to be extracted from 13 plant parts and samples originated from 56 countries worldwide. Statistical analyses included the evaluation of variability in BCP% and yield% as well as the statistical linkage between families, plant parts and countries of origin by cluster analysis. Identified species were also grouped according to their presence in the Belfrit list. The survey evidences the importance of essential oil yield evaluation in support of the chemical analysis. The results provide a comprehensive picture of the species with the highest BCP and yield percentages. Keywords: plant species; essential oil; yield; percentages of (E)-β-caryophyllene; Belfrit list; plant part; geographical origin 1.

No, that country has so very much more! And certainly it has a rich and beautiful flora. Chile’s plant world is strongly diversified and shows inter- esting geographical and evolutionary patterns. This is due to several factors: The geographical position of the country on the edge of a continental plate and stretch- ing along an extremely long latitudinal gradient from the tropics to the cold, barren rocks of Cape Horn, opposite Antarctica; the strong differences in altitude from sea level to the icy peaks of the Andes; the inclusion of distant islands in the country’s territory; the long geological and evolutionary history of the biota; and the mixture of tropical and temperate floras.

  • Classification, Diversity, and Distribution of Chilean Asteraceae
    Diversity and Distributions, (Diversity Distrib.) (2007) 13, 818–828 Blackwell Publishing Ltd BIODIVERSITY Classification, diversity, and distribution RESEARCH of Chilean Asteraceae: implications for biogeography and conservation Andrés Moreira-Muñoz1 and Mélica Muñoz-Schick2* 1Geographical Institute, University ABSTRACT Erlangen-Nürnberg, Kochstr. 4/4, 91054 This paper provides a synopsis of the Chilean Asteraceae genera according to the Erlangen, Germany, 2Museo Nacional de most recent classification. Asteraceae is the richest family within the native Chilean Historia Natural, Casilla 787, Santiago, Chile flora, with a total of 121 genera and c. 863 species, currently classified in 18 tribes. The genera are distributed along the whole latitudinal gradient in Chile, with a centre of richness at 33°–34° S. Almost one-third of the genera show small to medium-small ranges of distribution, while two-thirds have medium-large to large latitudinal ranges of distribution. Of the 115 mainland genera, 46% have their main distribution in the central Mediterranean zone between 27°–37° S. Also of the mainland genera, 53% occupy both coastal and Andean environments, while 33% can be considered as strictly Andean and 20% as strictly coastal genera. The biogeographical analysis of relationships allows the distinction of several floristic elements and generalized tracks: the most marked floristic element is the Neotropical, followed by the anti- tropical and the endemic element. The biogeographical analysis provides important insights into the origin and evolution of the Chilean Asteraceae flora. The presence of many localized and endemic taxa has direct conservation implications.

Rappresenta la famiglia di spermatofite con il più elevato numero di specie. Le asteracee sono piante di solito erbacee con infiorescenza che è normalmente un capolino composto di singoli fiori che possono essere tutti tubulosi (es. Conyza ) oppure tutti forniti di una linguetta detta ligula (es. Taraxacum ) o, infine, essere tubulosi al centro e ligulati alla periferia (es. margherita). La famiglia è diffusa in tutto il mondo, ad eccezione dell’Antartide, ed è particolarmente rappresentate nelle regioni aride tropicali e subtropicali ( Artemisia ), nelle regioni mediterranee, nel Messico, nella regione del Capo in Sud-Africa e concorre alla formazione di foreste e praterie dell’Africa, del sud-America e dell’Australia. Le Asteraceae sono una delle famiglie più grandi delle Angiosperme e comprendono piante alimentari, produttrici

Miguel Claro 1.224, Providencia, Santiago, Chile. *[email protected] RESUMEN El endemismo es uno de los principales aspectos que trata la biogeografía histórica y es uno de los criterios más importantes para establecer las prioridades de conservación de las especies. En el mundo, más del 90% de las plantas que se encuentra en alguna categoría de amenaza son endémicas de un sólo país. En Chile, un 45% de las especies de plantas vasculares son endémicas. Actualmente este número incluye 83 géneros y 4 familias endémicas del país; éstos son valores elevados en comparación con el resto de Latinoamérica. Sin embargo, la alta tasa de cambios producidos por los estudios de sistemática molecular en la taxonomía ha generado modificaciones en estos números. Este trabajo pretende discutir dichas modificaciones y así contribuir a la correcta delimitación de estos géneros endémicos. Utilizando bases de datos y bibliografía actualizadas, se llevó a cabo una revisión exhaustiva sobre estos géneros. Se sustrajeron de la lista aquellos géneros con registros fuera del país y aquellos que cuentan con evidencia suficiente para cambiar su estatus taxonómico.

PhD, Department of Pharmacology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA. Breathing is a rhythmic motor behavior under metabolic, voluntary and emotional control. During quiet rest or sleep, the breathing rhythm is generated by a bilateral cluster of excitatory neurons, the preBötzinger complex which subsequently activates a network of excitatory or inhibitory interneurons (pattern generator) that fire during specific phases of the breathing cycle and eventually trigger the orderly activation of the breathing muscles. The three most powerful stimulatory influences on breathing are exercise, hypercapnia and hypoxia. The effects of hypoxia are mediated primarily via the carotid bodies and those of CO2 via the retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN). RTN neurons are glutamatergic. Their firing is exquisitely sensitive to arterial pH in vivo (0.5Hz/0.01 pH). Their pH-sensitivity is partly intrinsic (proton sensors: TASK-2 and GPR4) and partly astrocyte–dependent. RTN stimulates every aspect of breathing including active (abdominal) expiration. During quiet rest and non-REM sleep breathing automaticity requires RTN input and the breathing stimulation elicited by RTN is directly proportional to arterial pH.
