Identification of Seeds to Genus Or Species Level ISTA Purity Seminar 15. June 2009 Zürich Identification of seeds to genus and species level by Norbert Leist and Andrea Jonitz Dr. Andrea Jonitz Prof. Dr. Norbert Leist LTZ Augustenberg Brahmsstr.25 Neßlerstr.23 76669 Bad Schönborn 76227 Karlsruhe Germany Germany [email protected] [email protected] From flower to seed Pulsatilla vernalis From flower to seed Pulsatilla Seed development Plant systematics, Judd et al. Can we find botanical characters which allow a systematic search leading to the families first, than to the genera and at least to the species? Mostly you can find the following structures, more or less well visible: Testa developed from the integument. The hole between the integument remains as micropyle, in every seed this is the point where the radicle emerges. The funiculus growth a shorter or larger part together with the integument, this part is the raphe. The breaking point of the funiculus at ripeness is the hilum. The region where the funiculus enters the integument fffor nutritition of the embryo is the chalaza. Hilum --Integument Cardiospermum halicacabum Definition of seed • A seed is a matured ovule that contains an embryo and often nutritive tissue (endosperm, perisperm) Judd et al. Plant Systematics • Achene: Asteraceae (Carex, Ranunculus, Rosa, Rumex) • Caryopsis: Poaceae • Drupe: Celtis, Cocos, Prunus • Nut: Castanea, Corylus, Fagus, Quercus • Samara: Ailanthus, Betula, Fraxinus, Liriodendron, Ulmus Carya ovata • Schizocarp: Acer, Apium, Daucus, Erodium, Euphorbia, Lamium, Malva • Utricle: Amaranthus, Chenopodium • Seed units are commonly found dispersal units ISTA Rules 2009 Abrus precatorius Caryopsis Schizocarp Alopecurus Euphorbia gerardii verrucosa Aethusa Echinochloa cynapium crus-galli Abelmoschus Bromus esculentus mollis Achaene Bidens Leontodon pilosa hispidus Taraxacum Rumex officinale crispus Seed Unit Tragopogon or Taraxacum ?

ABSTRACT Lathyrus species are well placed to meet the increasing global demand for food and animal feed, at the time of climate change. Conservation and sustainable use of the genetic resources of Lathyrus is of significant importance to allow the regain of interest in Lathyrus species in world. A comprehensive global database of Lathyrus species originating from the Mediterranean Basin, Caucasus, Central and West Asia Regions is developed using accessions in major genebanks and information from eight herbaria in Europe. This Global Lathyrus database was used to conduct gap analysis to guide future collecting missions and in situ conservation efforts for 37 priority species. The results showed the highest concentration of Lathyrus priority species in the countries of the Fertile Crescent, France, Italy and Greece.

  • Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation Wales Guidance (Pdf)
    Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Wildlife Sites Guidance Wales A Guide to Develop Local Wildlife Systems in Wales Foreword The Welsh Assembly Government’s Environment Strategy for Wales, published in May 2006, pays tribute to the intrinsic value of biodiversity – ‘the variety of life on earth’. The Strategy acknowledges the role biodiversity plays, not only in many natural processes, but also in the direct and indirect economic, social, aesthetic, cultural and spiritual benefits that we derive from it. The Strategy also acknowledges that pressures brought about by our own actions and by other factors, such as climate change, have resulted in damage to the biodiversity of Wales and calls for a halt to this loss and for the implementation of measures to bring about a recovery. Local Wildlife Sites provide essential support between and around our internationally and nationally designated nature sites and thus aid our efforts to build a more resilient network for nature in Wales. The Wildlife Sites Guidance derives from the shared knowledge and experience of people and organisations throughout Wales and beyond and provides a common point of reference for the most effective selection of Local Wildlife Sites. I am grateful to the Wales Biodiversity Partnership for developing the Wildlife Sites Guidance. The contribution and co-operation of organisations and individuals across Wales are vital to achieving our biodiversity targets. I hope that you will find the Wildlife Sites Guidance a useful tool in the battle against biodiversity loss and that you will ensure that it is used to its full potential in order to derive maximum benefit for the vitally important and valuable nature in Wales.

  • Chloroplast Dna Characters, Phylogeny, and Classification of Lathyrus (Fabaceae)1
    American Journal of Botany 85(3): 387–401. 1998. CHLOROPLAST DNA CHARACTERS, PHYLOGENY, AND CLASSIFICATION OF LATHYRUS (FABACEAE)1 CONNY B. ASMUSSEN2,3 AND AARON LISTON2 Department of Systematic Botany, Institute of Biological Sciences, University of Aarhus, Nordlandsvej 68, 8240 Risskov, Denmark; and 2 Department of Botany and Plant Pathology, 2082 Cordley Hall, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331–2902 Mapped cpDNA restriction site characters were analyzed cladistically and the resulting phylogenetic hypotheses were used to test monophyly and relationships of the infrageneric classification of Lathyrus (Fabaceae) proposed by Kupicha (1983, Notes from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh 41: 209–244). The validity of previously proposed classification systems and questions presented by these classification schemes were explored. Two cpDNA regions, rpoC(rpoC1, its intron, part of rpoC2, and their intergenic spacer) and IRϪ (psbA, trnH-GUG, part of ndhF, and their intergenic spacers), were analyzed for 42 Lathyrus and two Vicia species. PCR (polymerase chain reaction) amplified rpoC and IRϪ products digested with 31 and 27 restriction endonucleases, respectively, resulted in 109 potentially informative characters. The strict consensus tree suggests that several of Kupicha’s sections may be combined in order to constitute clades. The widespread section Orobus and the South American section Notolathyrus should be combined. Section Lathyrus, characterized by a twisted style, should either include sections Orobon and Orobastrum or be redefined as three sections, one of which is characterized by a 100 base pair deletion in the IRϪ region. Finally, a weighted parsimony analysis positions sections Clymenum (excluding L. gloeospermus) and Nissolia, both with phyllodic leaves, as sister sections.

  • A Systematic Study of Lathyrus Vestitus Nutt. Ex T
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Steven Leo Broich for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Botany and Plant Pathologypresented on 4 March 1983 Title: A SYSTEMATIC STUDY OF LATHYRUS VESTITUS NUTT. EX T. & G. (FABACEAE) AND ALLIED SPECIES OF THE PACIFIC COAST Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Kenton L.Chdbers Eight species of Lathvrus (Fabaceae, Faboideae) endemic to the Pacific Coast of North America were the subject of a systematic investigation. Taxa studied included Lathvrus vestituq Nutt. ex T. & G., L. .1aetiflorus Greene, Lo iepsonii Greene, L. splendens Kellogg, L. polv-chvllus Nutt. ex T. & G., L. holochlorus (Piper) C. L. Hitchcock, L. delnorticus C. L. Hitchcock and L. sulphureus Brewer. Taximetric studies, including hierarchical and non-hierarchical cluster analyses followed by discriminant analyses, revealed the existence of one new species. Lathvrus holochlorus, Lo delnorticus, L. sulphureus, L. Polviohvllus, L. iepsonii and L. splendens were found to be morphologically distinct while extensive morphological intergradation was found between J. vestitus and L. laetiflorus. Principal Components analysis was used to document two clinal trends within the L. vestitus-laetiflorus complex. Flower size increases and floral shape changes from north to south along the Pacific Coast; pubescence increases clinally from north to south and from the coast inland. The anatomy of stems and leaflets was examined by tissue clearing methods. Vascular anatomy of nodes and internodes was found to conform to patterns described previously for European species of Lathvrus. Epidermal cell shape and stomatal frequency on leaflets varies greatly within species and these data were not useful for taxonomic distinctions. The diploid chromosome number for all species studied was found to be 2n = 14; only small differences in karyotypes could be noted.

They are protein-containing herbs which easily recover after grazing. Some pe- rennial species survive in grassland communities for ten years or more. Certain species are important melliferous plants. In the Vojvodina Province, they inhabit different habitats like forests and grasslands, dry and wet sites, thus showing a wide distribution range. Besides their floristic and vegetation aspects, their role as green and dry fodder crops should be em- phasized. KEY WORDS: floral element, fodder crop, Lathyrus species, range, UTM grid, the Vojvodina Province INTRODUCTION The genus Lathyrus includes about 120 species. They occur mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, from the extreme north to tropic African and South American regions. Annual herbs grow mostly in the Mediterranean and Front Asia (Gams, 1964). About 55 species have been recorded in the European flora (Ball, 1968). Of about 30 species recorded in the Serbian flora (Kojiã, 1972), 16 can be found in the Vojvodina Province.
