Sweet Alshymaa Abdel-Rahman Gomaa, *Mamdouh Nabil Samy, Samar Yehia Desoukey, Mohamed Salah Kamel Department of Pharmacognosy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Minia University, Minia 61519, Egypt Available Online: 31st January, 2016 ABSTRACT Abutilon hirtum (Lam.) Sweet, is a perennial herb or shrub, commonly known as Florida Keys Indian mallow and distributed in tropical regions. The present study deals with macro and micromorphological investigations of leaf, stem, root and flower of A. hirtum, which assists in identification and standardization of the plant in both entire and powdered forms. Keywords: Malvaceae, Abutilon hirtum, macro and micromorphology. INTRODUCTION Malvaceae (the mallow family) is the family of flowering plants containing about 243 genera and 4225 species. It is distributed all over the world in tropical regions and includes the economically important plants such as cotton, okra and other ornamental shrubs.1 Abutilon is a large genus belonging to this family, comprising about 150 annual or perennial herbs, shrubs or even small trees. It is native to tropical and subtropical countries of America, Africa, Asia and Australia.2,3 The genus has a significant importance which is attributed to valuable fibers obtained from different species of the genus such as A. theophrastii and also due to several species grown as garden ornamentals such as A. ochsenii and A. vitifolium.4 Phytochemical studies of the genus revealed the presence of flavonoids, sterols, triterpenes, anthocyanins and fatty acids.5 Abutilon hirtum is a perennial herb or shrub, 0.5-2.5m in height [Synonym: A.

    S. M. El Naggar & N. Sawady Pollen Morphology of Malvaceae and its taxonomic significance in Yemen Abstract El Naggar, S. M. & Sawady N.: Pollen Morphology of Malvaceae and its taxonomic signifi- cance in Yemen. — Fl. Medit. 18: 431-439. 2008. — ISSN 1120-4052. The pollen morphology of 20 species of Malvaceae growing in Yemen was investigated by light (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The studied taxa belong to 9 genera and three different tribes. These taxa are: Abelmoschus esculentus, Hibiscus trionum, H. micranthus, H. deflersii, H. palmatus, H. vitifolius, H. rosa-sinensis, H. ovalifolius, Gossypium hirsutum, Thespesia populnea (L.) Solander ex Correa and Senra incana (Cav.) DC. (Hibiscieae); Malva parviflora and Alcea rosea (Malveae); Abutilon fruticosum, A. figarianum, A. bidentatum, A. pannosum, Sida acuta, S. alba and S. ovata (Abutileae). Pollen shape, size, aperture, exine structure and sculpturing as well as the spine characters proved that they are of high taxonom- ic value. Pollen characters with some other morphological characters are discussed in the light of the recent classification of the family in Yemen. Key words: Malvaceae, Morphology, Yemen. Introduction Malvaceae Juss. (s. str.) is a large family of herbs, shrubs and trees; comprising about 110 genera and 2000 species. It is a globally distributed family with primary concentrations of genera in the tropical and subtropical regions (Hutchinson 1967; Fryxell 1975, 1988 & 1998; Heywood 1993; La Duke & Doeby 1995; Mabberley 1997). Due to the high economic value of many taxa of Malvaceae (Gossypium, Hibiscus, Abelmoschus and Malva), several studies of different perspective have been carried out, such as those are: Edlin (1935), Bates and Blanchard (1970), Krebs (1994a, 1994b), Ray (1995 & 1998), Hosni and Araffa (1999), El Naggar (1996, 2001 & 2004), Pefell & al.

  • 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.

The present study was carried out in eight districts (viz., Pakpattan, Vehari, Lahore, Nankana Sahib, Faisalabad, Sahiwal, Narowal and Sialkot) of Central Punjab. The area possesses quite rich traditional background which was exploited to get information about ethnobotanical usage of grasses. The ethnobotanical data on the various traditional uses of the grasses was collected using a semi- structured questionnaire. A total of 51 species of grasses belonging to 46 genera were recorded from the area. Almost all grasses were used as fodder, 15% were used for medicinal purposes in the area like for fever, stomach problems, respiratory tract infections, high blood pressure etc., 06% for roof thatching and animal living places, 63% for other purposes like making huts, chicks, brooms, baskets, ladders stabilization of sand dunes. Index Terms: Ethnobotany, Grasses, Poaceae, Fodder, Medicinal Use, Central Punjab —————————— —————————— INTRODUCTION Poaceae or the grass family is a natural homogenous group purposes.

BMC Genomics (2017) 18:607 DOI 10.1186/s12864-017-4014-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access accD nuclear transfer of Platycodon grandiflorum and the plastid of early Campanulaceae Chang Pyo Hong1, Jihye Park2, Yi Lee3, Minjee Lee2, Sin Gi Park1, Yurry Uhm4, Jungho Lee2* and Chang-Kug Kim5* Abstract Background: Campanulaceae species are known to have highly rearranged plastid genomes lacking the acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) subunit D gene (accD), and instead have a nuclear (nr)-accD. Plastid genome information has been thought to depend on studies concerning Trachelium caeruleum and genome announcements for Adenophora remotiflora, Campanula takesimana, and Hanabusaya asiatica. RNA editing information for plastid genes is currently unavailable for Campanulaceae. To understand plastid genome evolution in Campanulaceae, we have sequenced and characterized the chloroplast (cp) genome and nr-accD of Platycodon grandiflorum, a basal member of Campanulaceae. Results: We sequenced the 171,818 bp cp genome containing a 79,061 bp large single-copy (LSC) region, a 42,433 bp inverted repeat (IR) and a 7840 bp small single-copy (SSC) region, which represents the cp genome with the largest IR among species of Campanulaceae. The genome contains 110 genes and 18 introns, comprising 77 protein-coding genes, four RNA genes, 29 tRNA genes, 17 group II introns, and one group I intron. RNA editing of genes was detected in 18 sites of 14 protein-coding genes. Platycodon has an IR containing a 3′ rps12 operon, which occurs in the middle of the LSC region in four other species of Campanulaceae (T. caeruleum, A. remotiflora, C.

Received: 13 August 2012; in revised form: 26 October 2012 / Accepted: 30 October 2012 / Published: 9 November 2012 Abstract: To determine the evolutionary relationships among all members of the genus Atractylodes (Compositae, Cardueae), we conducted molecular phylogenetic analyses of one nuclear DNA (nrDNA) region (internal transcribed spacer, ITS) and one chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) region (intergenic spacer region of trnL-F). In ITS and ITS + trnL-F trees, all members of Atractylodes form a monophyletic clade. Atractylodes is a sister group of the Carlina and Atractylis branch. Atractylodes species were distributed among three clades: (1) A. carlinoides (located in the lowest base of the Atractylodes phylogenetic tree), (2) A. macrocephala, and (3) the A. lancea complex, including A. japonica, A. coreana, A. lancea, A. lancea subsp. luotianensis, and A. chinensis. The taxonomic controversy over the classification of species of Atractylodes is mainly concentrated in the A.

The genus Warionia, with its only species W. saharae, is endemic to El género Warionia, y su única especie, W. saharae, es endémico the northwestern edge of the African Sahara desert. This is a some- del noroeste del desierto africano del Sahara. Es una planta seme- what thistle-like aromatic plant, with white latex, and fleshy, pin- jante a un cardo, aromática, con látex blanco y hojas carnosas, nately-partite leaves. Warionia is in many respects so different from pinnatipartidas. Warionia es tan diferente de otros géneros de any other genus of Asteraceae, that it has been tentatively placed Asteraceae que fue ubicada en las tribus Cardueae, Cichorieae, in the tribes Cardueae, Cichorieae, Gundelieae, and Mutisieae.
