Review article Reproduction and gene flow in the genus Quercus L A Ducousso H Michaud R Lumaret 1 INRA, BP 45, 33611 Gazinet-Cestas; 2 CEFE/CNRS, BP 5051, 34033 Montpellier Cedex, France Summary — In this paper we review the characteristics of the floral biology, life cycle and breeding system in the genus Quercus. The species of this genus are self-incompatible and have very long life spans. The focus of our review is on the effects of gene flow on the structuration of genetic varia- tion in these species. We have examined the influence of gene flow in 2 ways: 1) by measuring the physical dispersal of pollen, seed and vegetative organs; and 2) by using nuclear and cytoplasmic markers to estimate genetic parameters (Fis, Nm). These approaches have shown that nuclear (iso- zyme markers) as well as cytoplasmic (chloroplastic DNA) gene flow is usually high, so that very low interspecific differentiation occurs. However, intraspecific differentiation is higher for the cytoplasmic DNA than for the nuclear isozyme markers. floral biology / life cycle / breeding system / gene flow / oak Résumé — Système de reproduction et flux de gènes chez les espèces du genre Quercus. Les caractéristiques de la biologie florale, du cycle de vie et du système de reproduction ont été analysées pour les espèces du genre Quercus. Ces espèces sont auto-incompatibles et à très lon- gue durée de vie. Les effets des flux de gènes sur la structuration de la variabilité génétique ont aussi été étudiés de 2 manières. D’une part, grâce aux mesures de la dispersion du pollen, des graines et des organes végétatifs, et, d’autre part, en utilisant des paramètres génétiques (Fis, Nm) obtenus à partir des marqueurs nucléaires et cytoplasmiques. Il apparaît que les flux géniques nu- cléaires (isozymes) et cytoplasmiques (ADN chloroplastique) sont en général importants, d’où une faible différenciation interspécifique. Néanmoins la différenciation intraspécifique est plus forte lors- qu’elle est estimée à partir des marqueurs cytoplasmiques que lorsqu’elle l’est à partir des mar- queurs nucléaires. biologie florale / cycle de vie / système de reproduction / flux de gènes / chêne INTRODUCTION Staminate flowers Male flowers are grouped in catkins which Plant populations show a significant in the axils of either the inner bud amount of organization in the genetic vari- develop scales or the first leaves, in the lower part ation they contain (Wright, 1951).

  • Oak Diversity and Ecology on the Island of Martha's Vineyard
    Oak Diversity and Ecology on the Island of Martha’s Vineyard Timothy M. Boland, Executive Director, The Polly Hill Arboretum, West Tisbury, MA 02575 USA Martha’s Vineyard is many things: a place of magical beauty, a historical landscape, an environmental habitat, a summer vacation spot, a year-round home. The island has witnessed wide-scale deforestation several times since its settlement by Europeans in 1602; yet, remarkably, existing habitats rich in biodiversity speak to the resiliency of nature. In fact, despite repeated disturbances, both anthropogenic and natural (hurricanes and fire), the island supports the rarest ecosystem (sand plain) found in Massachusetts (Barbour, H., Simmons, T, Swain, P, and Woolsey, H. 1998). In particular, the scrub oak (Quercus ilicifolia Wangenh.) dominates frost bottoms and outwash plains sustaining globally rare lepidopteron species, and formerly supported the existence of an extinct ground-dwelling bird, a lesson for future generations on the importance of habitat preservation. European Settlement and Early Land Transformation In 1602 the British merchant sailor Bartholomew Gosnold arrived in North America having made the six-week boat journey from Falmouth, England. Landing on the nearby mainland the crew found abundant codfish and Gosnold named the land Cape Cod. Further exploration of the chain of nearby islands immediately southwest of Cape Cod included a brief stopover on Cuttyhunk Island, also named by Gosnold. The principle mission was to map and explore the region and it included a dedicated effort to procure the roots of sassafras (Sassafras albidum (Nutt.) Nees) which were believed at the time to be medicinally valuable (Banks, 1917).

  • Oaks (Quercus Spp.): a Brief History
    Publication WSFNR-20-25A April 2020 Oaks (Quercus spp.): A Brief History Dr. Kim D. Coder, Professor of Tree Biology & Health Care / University Hill Fellow University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources Quercus (oak) is the largest tree genus in temperate and sub-tropical areas of the Northern Hemisphere with an extensive distribution. (Denk et.al. 2010) Oaks are the most dominant trees of North America both in species number and biomass. (Hipp et.al. 2018) The three North America oak groups (white, red / black, and golden-cup) represent roughly 60% (~255) of the ~435 species within the Quercus genus worldwide. (Hipp et.al. 2018; McVay et.al. 2017a) Oak group development over time helped determine current species, and can suggest relationships which foster hybridization. The red / black and white oaks developed during a warm phase in global climate at high latitudes in what today is the boreal forest zone. From this northern location, both oak groups spread together southward across the continent splitting into a large eastern United States pathway, and much smaller western and far western paths. Both species groups spread into the eastern United States, then southward, and continued into Mexico and Central America as far as Columbia. (Hipp et.al. 2018) Today, Mexico is considered the world center of oak diversity. (Hipp et.al. 2018) Figure 1 shows genus, sub-genus and sections of Quercus (oak). History of Oak Species Groups Oaks developed under much different climates and environments than today. By examining how oaks developed and diversified into small, closely related groups, the native set of Georgia oak species can be better appreciated and understood in how they are related, share gene sets, or hybridize.

(2015): The role of biodiversity conservation in education at Warsaw University Botanic Garden. – Thaiszia – J. Bot. 25 (Suppl. 1): 35-44. – ISSN 1210-0420. Abstract: The Botanic Garden of Warsaw University, established in 1818, is one of the oldest botanic gardens in Poland. It is located in the centre of Warsaw within its historic district. Initially it covered an area of 22 ha, but in 1834 the garden area was reduced by 2/3, and has remained unchanged since then. Today, the cultivated area covers 5.16 ha. The plant collection of 5000 taxa forms the foundation for a diverse range of educational activities. The collection of threatened and protected Polish plant species plays an especially important role. The Botanic Garden is a scientific and didactic unit. Its educational activities are aimed not only at university students, biology teachers, and school and preschool children, but also at a very wide public. Within the garden there are designed and well marked educational paths dedicated to various topics. Clear descriptions of the paths can be found in the garden guide, both in Polish and English. Specially designed educational games for children, Green Peter and Green Domino, serve a supplementary role.

  • Mycological Notes 11: Boletus Edulis in Canterbury Jerry Cooper, July 2012
    Mycological Notes 11: Boletus edulis in Canterbury Jerry Cooper, July 2012 Probably most mycologically minded New Zealanders know about Boletus edulis in Christchurch. Wang et al (1995) reported its occurrence with a number of host trees across the City and a single collection from Lake Pukaki with Birch. A well-known stronghold is with Quercus robur (Oak) in Hagley Park where it occurs with a range of other fungi. Wang et al speculate that B. edulis arrived with early European settlers into Christchurch and spread, perhaps with nursery plants in some cases. Research by Stringer et al (2002 & pers.comm), indicates that the old oak trees in Hagley Park arrived as living plants in half-barrels on-board ship. Thus the soil+fungus+roots+tree were shipped together. Even the possible source of the nursery near Bagshot in the UK has been traced. Similar shipments were apparently made to Nelson and planted in parks there. Recently there are reports of the fungus from various plantations in North Canterbury. In New Zealand the bolete is relatively immune to attack by fungous gnats, unlike its home range where most specimens rapidly become a maggot nursery. In recent years I have noticed more damage, so either the associated fungus gnat has arrived, or local species have developed a taste for it. The fungus has also been introduced/arrived with Pinus plantations in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Chile. Wang et al also recognised that the name ‘Boletus edulis’ has been used in a broad sense by some, with morphological/host differences recognised as separate species by others.
