Wakori2, Gervason A. Moriasi1, Bibianne W. Waiganjo1, Humphrey M. Mwambeo1 1Mount Kenya University, Thika, Kenya 2Kabarak University, Kabarak, Kenya Abstract A checklist of plant species occurring at Mount Kenya University Botanic Garden is presented. The purpose of this study was to develop a check list of plants that could be used for education, research and as a conservation guide. Two methods of study were used; first was physical identification and enumeration of the plants and secondly, line-transect and point centered quadrant techniques. A total of 223 plant species that belong to 57 families were identified. Three were vulnerable, endemic and rare and were identified as Combretum tanaense in Combretaceae, Ficus scassellatii ssp. thikaensis in Moraceae and Pavetta teitana in Rubiaceae, respectively. Keywords Biodiversity, Ex situ conservation, Flora and Indigenous are about 1846 botanical gardens and more than 30% of them 1. Introduction are owned by Universities and other research institutions for higher education. Less than 40% of botanic gardens are Plant diversity is relatively high in Kenya with found in tropical regions of the world. Despite the fact that approximately 6881 plant species occurring in different the tropics are characterized by high biodiversity and ecosystems (Zhou et al., 2017). These plant population is endemism, the region has faced high rate of threats due to constantly decreasing due to effects of climate change and as climate change and human activities in the recent past a result of anthropogenic activities (Millar et al., 2007).

  • The Botanical, Chemical and Ethnobotanical Diversity of Southern African Lamiaceae
    molecules Review The Botanical, Chemical and Ethnobotanical Diversity of Southern African Lamiaceae Ryan D. Rattray and Ben-Erik Van Wyk * Department of Botany and Plant Biotechnology, University of Johannesburg, Auckland Park, P.O. Box 524, Johannesburg 2006, South Africa; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +27-11-559-2412 Abstract: The Lamiaceae is undoubtedly an important plant family, having a rich history of use that spans the globe with many species being used in folk medicine and modern industries alike. Their ability to produce aromatic volatile oils has made them valuable sources of materials in the cosmetic, culinary, and pharmaceutical industries. A thorough account of the taxonomic diversity, chemistry and ethnobotany is lacking for southern African Lamiaceae, which feature some of the region’s most notable medicinal and edible plant species. We provide a comprehensive insight into the Lamiaceae flora of southern Africa, comprising 297 species in 42 genera, 105 of which are endemic to the subcontinent. We further explore the medicinal and traditional uses, where all genera with documented uses are covered for the region. A broad review of the chemistry of southern African Lamiaceae is presented, noting that only 101 species (34%) have been investigated chemically (either their volatile oils or phytochemical characterization of secondary metabolites), thus presenting many and varied opportunities for further studies. The main aim of our study was therefore to present an up-to-date account of the botany, chemistry and traditional uses of the family in southern Africa, and Citation: Rattray, R.D.; Van Wyk, to identify obvious knowledge gaps.

  • Phylotranscriptomic Analyses Reveal Asymmetrical Gene Duplication Dynamics and Signatures of Ancient Polyploidy in Mints
    GBE Phylotranscriptomic Analyses Reveal Asymmetrical Gene Duplication Dynamics and Signatures of Ancient Polyploidy in Mints Grant T. Godden 1,*, Taliesin J. Kinser1,2, Pamela S. Soltis1, and Douglas E. Soltis1,2 1Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida 2Department of Biology, University of Florida *Corresponding author: E-mail: g0ddengr@ufl.edu. Accepted: October 28, 2019 Data deposition: This project has been deposited at Dryad under the accession doi: 10.5061/dryad.qbzkh18cr. Abstract Ancient duplication events and retained gene duplicates have contributed to the evolution of many novel plant traits and, conse- quently, to the diversity and complexity within and across plant lineages. Although mounting evidence highlights the importance of whole-genome duplication (WGD; polyploidy) and its key role as an evolutionary driver, gene duplication dynamics and mechanisms, both of which are fundamental to our understanding of evolutionary process and patterns of plant diversity, remain poorly char- acterized in many clades. We use newly available transcriptomic data and a robust phylogeny to investigate the prevalence, occur- rence, and timing of gene duplications in Lamiaceae (mints), a species-rich and chemically diverse clade with many ecologically, economically, and culturally important species. We also infer putative WGDs—an extreme mechanism of gene duplication—using large-scale data sets from synonymous divergence (KS), phylotranscriptomic, and divergence time analyses. We find evidence for widespread but asymmetrical levels of gene duplication and ancient polyploidy in Lamiaceae that correlate with species richness, including pronounced levels of gene duplication and putative ancient WGDs (7–18 events) within the large subclade Nepetoideae and up to 10 additional WGD events in other subclades.

Congo) PIERRE MEERTS Herbarium et Bibliothèque de botanique africaine, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Campus de la Plaine, Boulevard du Triomphe, CP 265, B-1050 Brussels, Belgium; [email protected] Abstract A checklist to the trees and shrubs of Upper Katanga (the Zambezian part of Katanga, ca. 260,000 km²) (D.R. Congo) is presented. It comprises 694 taxa (664 species, 15 subspecies, 15 varieties). For each accepted taxon the list provides habitat and geographic distribution. Eleven taxa are new records for the D.R. Congo and 29 are new records for Upper Katanga. Fourteen new synonyms are proposed. Two families stand out as particularly species-rich, i.e. Fabaceae (110 taxa, i.e. Cae- salpinioideae: 50; Faboideae: 29; Mimosoideae: 31) and Rubiaceae (74). Six genera comprise 10 taxa or more i.e. Ficus (25), Combretum (17), Monotes (17), Brachystegia (15), Diospyros (11), Acacia (11). The three most important woody vegetation types in Upper Katanga have different phytogeographic and taxonomic assemblages: miombo woodland (254 taxa, 62% of which are Zambezian, over-representation of Caesalpinioideae), riverine and swamp forest (196 taxa, 36% of which are Guineo-Congolian, 17% Afromontane), and Zambezian dry evergreen forest (117 taxa, 37% of which are Guineo-Congo- lian, Rubiaceae over-represented). Twenty taxa (3%) are strictly endemic to Upper Katanga, most of which occur only in the Katango-Zambian sector of the Zambezian region.

Read Full License Page 1/12 Abstract Background: The Samburu people have for the longest time used traditional knowledge on medicinal plants to treat diseases both in human and livestock due to the attributed belief of how effective they are. I set out to understand medicinal plant use and trade among the Samburu community in Maralal town. The objectives of this study were to; (1) identify and document the medicinal plants traded, (2) record the medicinal uses of identied plants, (3) document the parts of the plant used and methods of preparation. Method: I conducted market surveys and held in-depth discussions with the traders on what plant parts were used and sold and where they collected and sourced their plants. I also joined collectors in the wild and collected samples for further identication. Results: From the market surveys, a total of 24 plants species from 16 families were traded. Most of the plants were collected from Kirisia Forests Reserve and the arid shrublands within Samburu County. It was noted that Myrsine africana L., Rotheca myricoides (Hochst.) Steane & Mabb., Rhamnus staddo A.Rich., Salvadora persica L. and Toddalia asiatica (L.) Lam were the most popular species with buyers.
