Oak forests of the Sierra de Zapalinamé in northeastern Mexico (25°N) are distributed in canyons and northwest slopes with higher humidity, surrounded by montane chaparral. We carried out a vegetation inventory across an altitudinal gradient. All trees with diameter at breast height of ≥3 cm were identified and measured. In addition, the cover of understory species was measured in each plot. Using multivariate techniques, we detected two oak forest associations: Quercus greggii - Q. mexicana forest and Q. saltillensis - Q. laeta forest. The forests studied are rich in woody species, including 19 tree and 50 shrub species. The number of tree species decreased at lower elevations, but the shrub species increased. Environmental variables evaluated included elevation, precipitation, temperature, soil pH and electrical conductivity, and soil percentage of sand, clay, and silt. All these variables revealed significant differences for the two oak forest associations. With respect to biotic parameters, significant differences (P < 0.05) in basal area were observed. Multivariate analysis revealed the species distribution along a moisture gradient across elevation. The ecological study of oak forests provides the basis for future research on forest dynamics and can guide conservation efforts to maintain species diversity and endemism in the mountain studied.

Most important are temperature Mexico is a center of diversity of the genus Quercus and precipitation (Körner, 2007), both of which influence (Nixon, 1993). This genus forms pure oak or mixed pine - the available humidity, the properties of soils, and their oak stands, one of the most species-rich vegetation types in formation processes (Guerrero-Campo et al., 1999).

  • The Tolerance of Pinus Patula 3 Pinus Tecunumanii, and Other Pine Hybrids, to Fusarium Circinatum in Greenhouse Trials
    New Forests (2013) 44:443–456 DOI 10.1007/s11056-012-9355-3 The tolerance of Pinus patula 3 Pinus tecunumanii, and other pine hybrids, to Fusarium circinatum in greenhouse trials R. G. Mitchell • M. J. Wingfield • G. R. Hodge • E. T. Steenkamp • T. A. Coutinho Received: 7 August 2011 / Accepted: 29 June 2012 / Published online: 10 July 2012 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012 Abstract The field survival of Pinus patula seedlings in South Africa is frequently below acceptable standards. From numerous studies it has been determined that this is largely due to the pitch canker fungus, Fusarium circinatum. Other commercial pines, such as P. elliottii and P. taeda, show good tolerance to this pathogen and better survival, but have inferior wood properties and do not grow as well as P. patula on many sites in the summer rainfall regions of South Africa. There is, thus, an urgent need to improve the tolerance of P. patula to F. circinatum. Operational experience indicates that when P. patula is hybridized with tolerant species, such as P. tecunumanii and P. oocarpa, survival is greatly improved on the warmer sites of South Africa. Field studies on young trees suggest that this is due to the improved tolerance of these hybrids to F. circinatum. In order to test the tolerance of a number of pine hybrids, the pure species representing the hybrid parents, as well as individual families of P. patula 9 P. tecunumanii, a series of greenhouse screening trials were conducted during 2008 and 2009. The results indicated that species range in tolerance and hybrids, between P.

Table S1. General climatic and edaphic patterns of target species. Species General characteristics of the populations Trees from the northern populations occur in degraded stands on shallow calcareous soils with pH 6.8 to 7.7 [2]. These populations exist at elevations from 1900 to 2600 m with annual rainfall between 650 and 750 mm. The southern populations of P. greggii occur in P. greggii stands on predominantly acidic soils with pH 4.2 to 6.1 [3]. Trees in these populations are found at elevations of 1250 to 2380 m and receive between 1465 to 2380 mm of annual precipitation [3,4]. This species occurs from 350 to 2500 m elevation in Mexico and Central America but reaches its best development between 1200 to 1800 m. Along the northwest coast of Mexico it occurs in areas with as little as 600 to 800 mm of annual rainfall. In southern and eastern Mexico and most of Central America it generally occurs in areas of 1000 to P. oocarpa 1500 mm of annual precipitation with dry seasons of up to 5 months. In some locations where Pinus oocarpa is most often found on shallow, sandy clay soils of moderate soil acidity (pH 4.0 to 6.5) that are well drained [5].

The analysis was performed using the “shotgun” (“gel-free”) strategy. Proteins were extracted using the TCA/Phenol/Acetone protocol, subsequently separated by liquid chromatography and analyzed by mass spectrometry (nLC LTQ Orbitrap). Protein identification was performed by consulting the specific database forPinus spp and functional classification taking into account the three functional terms (biological processes, cellular components and molecular functions) of Gene Ontology. To extract relevant Gene Ontology terms, a singular enrichment analysis (SEA) was performed, the terms were considered relevant for a minimum threshold of significance FDR < 0.05. After analyzing protein profiles, a total of 1091 proteins were identified, 362 proteins common in both species, 100 exclusives to P. greggii and 267 exclusive proteins to P.

Received 30 November, 2016; Accepted 6 January, 2017 In recent years, the number of infectious diseases linked to the occurrence of bacterial and fungal resistance has increased, leading to extensive search for new drugs to treat these infections. Species of the Asteraceae family and the genus Eupatorium, have high biological potential and are used in folk medicine to treat various diseases. This review article presents the main phytochemical and biological characteristics of the Asteraceae family and the genus Eupatorium s.l., whose antimicrobial activity is promising, especially antibacterial and antifungal activity. The current review was achieved using an organized search of the scientific data published on antimicrobial activity and phytochemical of the species of the genus Eupatorium using various databases, including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Scielo, SciFinder and Google Scholar. The species of Eupatorium are rich in terpenes, phytosterols and sesquiterpene lactones, the latter being chemotaxonomic markers of the group, with broad anticancer, antiplasmodial and antimicrobial activity, making them promising for the development of new drugs.
