However, there is still not an experimental system for genetic studies among basal angiosperms to facilitate comparative studies and functional investigation. It would be desirable to identify a basal angiosperm experimental system that possesses many of the features found in existing plant model systems (e.g., Arabidopsis and Oryza). Results: We have considered all basal angiosperm families for general characteristics important for experimental systems, including availability to the scientific community, growth habit, and membership in a large basal angiosperm group that displays a wide spectrum of phenotypic diversity. Most basal angiosperms are woody or aquatic, thus are not well-suited for large scale cultivation, and were excluded. We further investigated members of Aristolochiaceae for ease of culture, life cycle, genome size, and chromosome number.

  • Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific
    Plant Biodiversity Science, Discovery, and Conservation: Case Studies from Australasia and the Pacific Craig Costion School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology University of Adelaide Adelaide, SA 5005 Thesis by publication submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology July 2011 ABSTRACT This thesis advances plant biodiversity knowledge in three separate bioregions, Micronesia, the Queensland Wet Tropics, and South Australia. A systematic treatment of the endemic flora of Micronesia is presented for the first time thus advancing alpha taxonomy for the Micronesia-Polynesia biodiversity hotspot region. The recognized species boundaries are used in combination with all known botanical collections as a basis for assessing the degree of threat for the endemic plants of the Palau archipelago located at the western most edge of Micronesia’s Caroline Islands. A preliminary assessment is conducted utilizing the IUCN red list Criteria followed by a new proposed alternative methodology that enables a degree of threat to be established utilizing existing data. Historical records and archaeological evidence are reviewed to establish the minimum extent of deforestation on the islands of Palau since the arrival of humans. This enabled a quantification of population declines of the majority of plants endemic to the archipelago. In the state of South Australia, the importance of establishing concepts of endemism is emphasized even further. A thorough scientific assessment is presented on the state’s proposed biological corridor reserve network. The report highlights the exclusion from the reserve system of one of the state’s most important hotspots of plant endemism that is highly threatened from habitat fragmentation and promotes the use of biodiversity indices to guide conservation priorities in setting up reserve networks.

DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.15553/ c2016v711a16 Pararistolochia Hutc. & Dalziel (Aristolochiaceae) is a genus that comprised about 35 species known until present from continental Africa and Australasia. Two recent inventories carried in the limestone massif of Beanka in western Mada- gascar have led to the detection of a new species that we describe here as Pararistolochia enricoi Luino, L. Gaut. & Callm. This impressive liana is until today the only malagasy representative of the genus. The deciduous habit, together with the two-lobed perianth and the presence of trichomes covering most parts of the plant are exclusive characters that clearly distinguish Pararistolochia enricoi within the genus. The new species is provided with a preliminary risk assessment of its conservation status based on the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria. Résumé LUINO I., M.W. CALLMANDER, O. PONCY, S.

  • HACIA UNA FILOGENIA DE ARISTOLOCHIA Y SUS CONGENERES NEOTROPICALES
    Caldasia 19(1-2): 115-139 HACIA UNA FILOGENIA DE ARISTOLOCHIA y SUS CONGENERES NEOTROPICALES FAVIO GONZÁLEZ* Instituto de Ciencias Naturales, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, A. A. 7495, Santafé de Bogotá, Colombia. *Oirecc/6n actual: The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY 10458-5126 Resumen Un análisis cladfstico de los taxa neotropicales de la familiaAristolochiaceae, basado en 41 caracteres morfológicos, permite evaluar lafilogenia de Aristolochia sect. Gymno/obus Duchartre y su relación con los otros miembros de la subfamilia Aristolochioideae sensu Schmidt (1935), Euglypha Chodat & Hassler y Ho/osty/is Duchartre. Se obtuvo un único cladograma, completamente resuelto, que muestra que el género Aristo/ochia resulta ser parafilético. Los dos ciados basales dentro del grupo interno son Aristo/ochia ser. Thyrsicae F. González seguido por A. subsect. Pentandrae Duchartre. Los dos géneros monotípicos de Suramérica, Euglypha y Holosty/is, resultan incluidos dentro deAristo/ochia; éstos resultan ser los grupos hermanos de Aristo/ochia subser. Hexandrae y Aristo/ochia subser. Anthocau/icae F.González, respectivamente. Por lo tanto, se propone la subordi- nación de éstos dentro de Aristo/ochia, a fin de aplicar el concepto de monofilia a nivel genérico. En consecuencia, se proponen los cambios nomenclaturales requeridos. Palabras clave: Aristolochiaceae, cladística, Aristo/ochia, Euglypha, Ho/osty/is. Abstract A cladistic approach to the Neotropical Aristolochiaceae, based on 41 morphological characters, was conducted to evaluate the phylogeny of Aristo/ochia sect. Gymno/obus Duchartre along with the other two genera of the subfamily Aristolochiodeae sensu Schmidt (1935), Euglypha Chodat & Hassler, and Ho/osty/is Duchartre. A single cladogram was obtained, in which the genus Aristo/ochia is shown to be paraphyletic; the basal branch within the ingroup is Aristo/ochia ser.
