  • Erysimum Bulgaricum (Brassicaceae), a Newly Distinguished Species for the Balkan Peninsula
    Ann. Naturhist. Mus. Wien 104 B 691 - 698 Wien, März 2003 Erysimum bulgaricum (Brassicaceae), a newly distinguished species for the Balkan Peninsula M. Ancev* & A. Polatschek** Abstract Erysimum bulgaricum proposed here as a species new to science is based on the combination Erysimum goniocaulon BOISS. var. bulgaricum VELEN. It is a diploid, biannual plant, whose area of distribution ranges from Thracia north-eastwards along the West Black Sea coast to North Dobroudza. Key words: Brassicaceae, Erysimum bulgaricum; new species, Flora of Balkan Peninsula. Introduction J. VELENOVSKY in his Flora Bulgarica, Supplementum I (1898) listed 5 species of the genus Erysimum. Among them was the Anatolian Erysimum goniocaulon BOISS. VELENOVSKY separated the Bulgarian specimens from the typical species by describing var. bulgaricum. It was only in the fourth edition of Flora of Bulgaria (Stojanov, Stefanov & Kitanov 1966) that Erysimum goniocaulon var. bulgaricum was dismissed in the synonymy of E. cuspidatum or misdetermined as E. crepidifolium. The recent critical taxonomic studies on Erysimum in the Bulgarian flora revealed that E. bulgaricum deserves species status. Material and Methods This study is based on herbarium material deposited in BP, BRNU, GJO, GOET, GZU, H, LE, LI, M, MHA, PR, PRC, SO, SOA, SOM, W and WU and authors' collections along the West Black Sea coast, in North-Eastern Bulgaria and the North Dobroudza plain. The chromosome number counted by both authors was studied on mitotic metaphase plates obtained from flower buds, collected in the field (see also ANCEV & POLATSCHEK, 1998). The karyologically studied populations are marked by an asterisk (*) in the list of examined specimens, vouchers have been deposited in SOM and W.

  • Erysimum Menziesii
    http://www.flowershots.net/Brassicaceae.html Erysimum menziesii NEW CROP PROJECT - HORT 5051 BY: CALEB SIMON Taxonomy Erysimum menziesii is federally endangered Brassicaceae family Erysimum menziesii common name is Menzies’ wallflower (Berkeley). In 1992 Erysimum menziesii, was divided into four subspecies 1. E. m. ssp eurekense (Humboldt Bay wallflower) 2. E. m. ssp menziesii (Also known as Menzies’ wallflower) 3. E. m. ssp yadonii (Yadon’s wallflower) 4. E. m. ssp concinnum (curly wallflower) (FWS). This grouping of Erysimum subspecies is collectively known as Menzies’ wallflower. Geographic Distribution North American native. From northern Southern Oregon to central California bioregions include the North Coast and Central Coast Altitude: 0 to 300 meters above sea level (Berkeley). Native Habitat Erysimum is found growing on Coastal fore dunes, headlands and cliffs (Berkeley). On the nearshore dunes and swales Erysimum menziesii grows in association with other low growing plants such as beach sagewort, sand-dune bluegrass, dune goldenrod, beach bursage, coast buckwheat, sand verbena, and beach pea. Non-native plants like iceplant, and yellow lupine grow in the same habitat and prove problematic for Erysimum menziesii establishment (FWS). http://www.fws.gov/arcata/es/plants/menziesWallflower/gallery/large/menziesWallflower7.jpg Taxonomic Description biennial or a short lived perennial 12 inches high and 12 inches wide Flowers blooms February to April (FWS) Yadon’s wallflower blooms from May to June clustered racemes petals are clawed, ranging in color from yellow to orange stigma has 2 lobes (Berkeley). Leaves basal rosettes simple, fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves, cauline leaf margins are entire to lobed (Berkeley) Erysimum menziesii is a ‘semelparous (monocarpic) perennial’; this means that the plant only flowers and produces fruit one time during its life, after that it will die.

    Journal of Chemical Ecology (2020) 46:1131–1143 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10886-020-01225-y Less Is More: a Mutation in the Chemical Defense Pathway of Erysimum cheiranthoides (Brassicaceae) Reduces Total Cardenolide Abundance but Increases Resistance to Insect Herbivores Mahdieh Mirzaei1 & Tobias Züst2 & Gordon C. Younkin1 & Amy P. Hastings3 & Martin L. Alani1 & Anurag A. Agrawal3 & Georg Jander1 Received: 26 April 2020 /Revised: 6 October 2020 /Accepted: 9 October 2020 / Published online: 12 November 2020 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract Erysimum cheiranthoides L (Brassicaceae; wormseed wallflower) accumulates not only glucosinolates, which are characteristic of the Brassicaceae, but also abundant and diverse cardenolides. These steroid toxins, primarily glycosylated forms of digitoxi- genin, cannogenol, and strophanthidin, inhibit the function of essential Na+/K+-ATPases in animal cells. We screened a popu- lation of 659 ethylmethanesulfonate-mutagenized E. cheiranthoides plants to identify isolates with altered cardenolide profiles. One mutant line exhibited 66% lower cardenolide content, resulting from greatly decreased cannogenol and strophanthidin glycosides, partially compensated for by increases in digitoxigenin glycosides. This phenotype was likely caused by a single- locus recessive mutation, as evidenced by a wildtype phenotype of F1 plants from a backcross, a 3:1 wildtype:mutant segregation in the F2 generation, and genetic mapping of the altered cardenolide phenotype to one position in the genome. The mutation created a more even cardenolide distribution, decreased the average cardenolide polarity, but did not impact most glucosinolates. Growth of generalist herbivores from two feeding guilds, Myzus persicae Sulzer (Hemiptera: Aphididae; green peach aphid) and Trichoplusia ni Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae; cabbage looper), was decreased on the mutant line compared to wildtype.

  • ANATOMICAL CHARACTERISTICS and ECOLOGICAL TRENDS in the XYLEM and PHLOEM of BRASSICACEAE and RESEDACAE Fritz Hans Schweingruber
    IAWA Journal, Vol. 27 (4), 2006: 419–442 ANATOMICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND ECOLOGICAL TRENDS IN THE XYLEM AND PHLOEM OF BRASSICACEAE AND RESEDACAE Fritz Hans Schweingruber Swiss Federal Research Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape, CH-8903 Birmensdorf, Switzerland (= corresponding address) SUMMARY The xylem and phloem of Brassicaceae (116 and 82 species respectively) and the xylem of Resedaceae (8 species) from arid, subtropical and tem- perate regions in Western Europe and North America is described and ana- lysed, compared with taxonomic classifications, and assigned to their ecological range. The xylem of different life forms (herbaceous plants, dwarf shrubs and shrubs) of both families consists of libriform fibres and short, narrow vessels that are 20–50 μm in diameter and have alter- nate vestured pits and simple perforations. The axial parenchyma is para- tracheal and, in most species, the ray cells are exclusively upright or square. Very few Brassicaceae species have helical thickening on the vessel walls, and crystals in fibres. The xylem anatomy of Resedaceae is in general very similar to that of the Brassicaceae. Vestured pits occur only in one species of Resedaceae. Brassicaceae show clear ecological trends: annual rings are usually dis- tinct, except in arid and subtropical lowland zones; semi-ring-porosity decreases from the alpine zone to the hill zone at lower altitude. Plants with numerous narrow vessels are mainly found in the alpine zone. Xylem without rays is mainly present in plants growing in the Alps, both at low and high altitudes. The reaction wood of the Brassicaceae consists primarily of thick-walled fibres, whereas that of the Resedaceae contains gelatinous fibres.

Following systematic Jibou Botanical Garden, investigations undertaken in the botanical garden a large number of spontaneous flora, spontaneous taxons were found from the Romanian flora (650 species of adventive and vascular plants and 20 species of moss). Also were inventoried 38 species of subspontaneous plants, adventive plants, permanently established in Romania and 176 vascular plant floristic analysis, Romania species that have migrated from culture and multiply by themselves throughout the garden. In the garden greenhouses were found 183 subspontaneous species and weeds, both from the Romanian flora as well as tropical plants introduced by accident. Thus the total number of wild species rises to 1055, a large number compared to the occupied area. Some rare spontaneous plants and endemic to the Romanian flora (Galium abaujense, Cephalaria radiata, Crocus banaticus) were found. Cultivated species that once migrated from culture, accommodated to environmental conditions and conquered new territories; standing out is the Cyrtomium falcatum fern, once escaped from the greenhouses it continues to develop on their outer walls. Jibou Botanical Garden is the second largest exotic species can adapt and breed further without any botanical garden in Romania, after "Anastasie Fătu" care [11].

Abstract Wallflower (Erysimum cheiri (L.) Crantz) is a common medicinal plant in Persian medicine and nowadays some traditional products from wallflower are consumed on global markets. The aim of the present study was to study the phytochemical constituents of wallflower and discuss safety evaluations related to the traditional wallflower preparations. Major Persian scholars (e.g. Avicenna) books, Persian manuscripts (e.g. Makhzan-al-advia) and Arabic medical manuscripts (e.g Alshamel-fi alsanaat altebya) of the medieval Islamic era as well as current search engines including Pubmed, Scopus, Siencedirect, and Google Scholar were included in the study from 1700 up to 2018 A.D. In traditional medicine manuscripts, various topical and oral dosage forms of wallflower were administered in low doses. After renaissance, phytochemical investigations reported cardiac steroids in wallflower and it might be the reason that next medical investigations on the herb have been interrupted.
