Asexual Reproduction • Reproduction of genetically identical individuals from a single parent plant. • Main type: vegetative reproduction. • No meiosis, no fertilization, and no recombination. Modes of Vegetative Reproduction • Rhizomes – underground shoots • Tillers – aboveground shoots • Bulblets – “little bulbs” • Bulbils – inflorescence veg buds • Cuttings Advantages of Asexual Reproduction • Parent plants well-adapted to local environment will have offspring with a competitive advantage. • Less reproductive effort. • Colonization with limited dispersal. • Reproductive assurance in limited cross-pollination. Disadvantages of Asexual Reproduction • Little if any new genetic variability. – Genetically uniform populations. • Very narrow population niche width. • No capabilities for travel, dormancy, and establishment that seeds exhibit. Sexual Reproduction • Production of offspring through meiosis and fertilization. – Offspring genetically different from parents due to recombination = genetic diversity. • Plants can be both asexual and sexual, with a variety of forms. SUCCESSFUL POLLINATION ≠ SUCCESSFUL FERTILIZATION Hermaphroditic Flowers • Self-compatible (SC) – Capable of self-fertilization or cross-fertilization • Self-incompatible (SI) – Only capable of cross- fertilization – Inability of hermaphroditic plant to produce zygotes w/ self pollen Self-fertilization • Pollen transfer within or among flowers of same individual • ~20% of angiosperms are habitual selfers • ~40% of angiosperms can self-fertilize Advantages of Self-fertilization • Reproductive assurance. • Selectively advantageous by transmitting both sets of genes to offspring. – Well-adapted genotypes preserved. • Only single colonizing individual needed. • Cost-saving on male expenditure. Disadvantages of Self-fertilization • Decreases genetic variability. • Inability to adapt to changing conditions. • Increases inbreeding depression. – Reduces heterozygosity and increases homozygosity of deleterious alleles. – Loss of vigour in offspring! Loss of Heterozygosity from Selfing Aa x Aa A a A AA Aa 1/4 AA 1/2 Aa a Aa aa 1/4 aa A selfed heterozygote will yield offspring that are 50% heterozygous. Loss of Heterozygosity from Selfing Proportion of heterozygotes is 1/2 in each successive generation. F1: 50% of offspring heterozygous from original parent (Aa). F2: 25% F3: 12.5% F4: 6.2% F5: 3.1% F6: 1.5% Disadvantages of Self-fertilization • Decreases genetic variability. • Inability to adapt to changing conditions. • Increases inbreeding depression. • Reproductive inefficiency. Self-incompatibility (SI) • Inability of a fertile hermaphrodite flower to produce zygotes after self-pollination. • Involves a biochemical reaction in the stigma or style to reject self pollen or prevent pollen tube growth. • Genetically controlled by S-locus. – opposite S alleles attract – like S alleles repel Selfers vs. Outcrossers • SC • SI or SC • Mostly annuals • Mostly woody perennials • Small flowers (few) • Large showy flowers (many) • Unscented flowers • Scented flowers • Nectaries & nectar • Nectaries & nectar guides guides absent present • Similar maturation of • Differential maturation of reproductive parts reproductive parts – Anthers near stigma – Anthers far from stigma – Style included – Stigma well-exserted • All fruits mature • Only some fruits mature • Low pollen:ovule ratio • High pollen:ovule ratio Cleistogamy (CL) • Flowers never open and only capable of self-fertilization in bud. • Inconspicuous, bud-like apetalous flowers that form directly into seed capsules. • 488 species, across 212 genera and 49 families. – Violaceae, Fabaceae, Poaceae Cleistogamy (CL) • Mixed mating systems -can produce both CL and open flowers on an individual. • CL fls are a “back-up” in case pollinators scarce. • CL occur after normal flowering period. – open fls early spring and CL fls later in season. Strategies to Prevent Self-fertilization Physical Separation of Reproductive Parts (Herkogamy) • Within flowers • Among flowers Heterostyly • Flowers in different individuals of the same species having 2 or 3 different style lengths – With stamen lengths varying inversely • 25 families of angiosperms, over 18 orders, and 155 genera. Distyly • 2 floral morphs. • “Thrum” flower – long filaments w/ short styles • “Pin” flower – short filaments w/ long styles • Only pollinations between different floral morphs are successful. • E.g.: Primulaceae, Boraginaceae Tristyly • 3 floral morphs • Style long, stamens short and medium • Style medium, stamens short and long • Style short, stamens medium and long • Only 3 families! Temporal Separation of Reproductive Parts (Dichogamy) • Protandry – Anthers release pollen before stigma receptive – Common in insect- pollinated plants Temporal Separation of Reproductive Parts (Dichogamy) • Protogyny – Stigma receptive before pollen release – Less common than protandry Physical Separation of Reproductive Parts • Unisexual

  • Well-Known Plants in Each Angiosperm Order

    Well-Known Plants in Each Angiosperm Order

    Well-known plants in each angiosperm order This list is generally from least evolved (most ancient) to most evolved (most modern). (I’m not sure if this applies for Eudicots; I’m listing them in the same order as APG II.) The first few plants are mostly primitive pond and aquarium plants. Next is Illicium (anise tree) from Austrobaileyales, then the magnoliids (Canellales thru Piperales), then monocots (Acorales through Zingiberales), and finally eudicots (Buxales through Dipsacales). The plants before the eudicots in this list are considered basal angiosperms. This list focuses only on angiosperms and does not look at earlier plants such as mosses, ferns, and conifers.

    Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny

    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report.

  • The Developmental and Genetic Bases of Apetaly in Bocconia Frutescens

    The Developmental and Genetic Bases of Apetaly in Bocconia Frutescens

    Arango‑Ocampo et al. EvoDevo (2016) 7:16 DOI 10.1186/s13227-016-0054-6 EvoDevo RESEARCH Open Access The developmental and genetic bases of apetaly in Bocconia frutescens (Chelidonieae: Papaveraceae) Cristina Arango‑Ocampo1, Favio González2, Juan Fernando Alzate3 and Natalia Pabón‑Mora1* Abstract Background: Bocconia and Macleaya are the only genera of the poppy family (Papaveraceae) lacking petals; how‑ ever, the developmental and genetic processes underlying such evolutionary shift have not yet been studied. Results: We studied floral development in two species of petal-less poppies Bocconia frutescens and Macleaya cordata as well as in the closely related petal-bearing Stylophorum diphyllum. We generated a floral transcriptome of B. frutescens to identify MADS-box ABCE floral organ identity genes expressed during early floral development. We performed phylogenetic analyses of these genes across Ranunculales as well as RT-PCR and qRT-PCR to assess loci- specific expression patterns. We found that petal-to-stamen homeosis in petal-less poppies occurs through distinct developmental pathways. Transcriptomic analyses of B. frutescens floral buds showed that homologs of all MADS-box genes are expressed except for the APETALA3-3 ortholog. Species-specific duplications of other ABCE genes inB. frute- scens have resulted in functional copies with expanded expression patterns than those predicted by the model. Conclusions: Petal loss in B. frutescens is likely associated with the lack of expression of AP3-3 and an expanded expression of AGAMOUS. The genetic basis of petal identity is conserved in Ranunculaceae and Papaveraceae although they have different number of AP3 paralogs and exhibit dissimilar floral groundplans.

Ashiqur Rahman Chowdhury2, Muhammad Torequl Islam1,* 1Department of Pharmacy, Life Science Faculty, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science and Technology University, Gopalganj, Dhaka, BANGLADESH. 2Department of Chemistry, University of Chittagong, Chittagonj, BANGLADESH. ABSTRACT Background: Caffeine (CAF) is known for its central nervous system stimulatory effect. Although, CAF use in diarrhea, especially in Runner's diarrhea is still controversial, but it has been reported that dark tea containing CAF has anti-diarrheal effect on Sennae- mediated diarrhea in mice. Aim: To evaluate the anti-diarrheal effect of CAF and its modulatory effects on the standard anti-diarrheal drug loperamide (LOP), an opioid receptor agonist. Materials and Methods: CAF (15 mg/kg, i.p.) with or without LOP (3 mg/kg, p.o.) was administered to the Swiss mice (Mus musculus) previously treated with castor oil. Additionally, an in silico study was also performed to see the possible anti-diarrheal mechanism of CAF and LOP. Results: CAF increased the latent period, while decreasing the diarrheal defecation during the observation period (4 hr) in the test animals. Interestingly, CAF co-treated with the LOP exhibited a prominent anti-diarrheal effect in comparison to the negative control, CAF and LOP groups. Further, in silico study suggests that CAF have the most binding affinity with the 6FH5 (PIK3CG) protein (-8.22 KJ/mol) of adenosine receptor, while LOP with the μ-opioid receptor. Conclusion: CAF showed significant anti-diarrheal effect as well as strengthen the anti-diarrheal effect of LOP in castor oil-induced diarrheal mice.

MINK 3229 Cole Avenue Waco, Texas 76707 [email protected] WALTER C. HOLMES Department of Biology Baylor University Waco, Texas 76798-7388 ABSTRACT Ranunculus parviflorus is documented here in the naturalized flora of southeast Kansas, where it was collected at two locations in the town of Neodesha. Ranunculus parviflorus L. (Ranunculaceae) (smallflower buttercup) (Figure 1) is a herbaceous annual native to Europe (Salisbury 1931; Fernald 1950; Fitzgerald 2002). The species is naturalized in subtropical and temperate areas of North and South America (Benson 1948; Hernandez 1993) and Australia and New Zealand (Bock 1979). Ranunculus parviflorus is now found from California north through Oregon and Washington (to British Columbia) and in the eastern USA from western Florida north to New York, west through the Midwest to central Missouri, south through eastern Oklahoma and eastern Texas, east to Florida, including Hawaii (Brouillet et al. 2006; Hickman 1993; Lowe 1921; Mohr 1901; Stone et al. 1992; Wunderlin et al. 1996). Early collections in the USA were made by Chickering at Ft. Monroe, Virginia, in 1878 (KANU) and Curtiss in Gadsden Co., Florida, in 1889 (USFH 6400) (Wunderlin et al. 2018).

    Reconstructing the Basal Angiosperm Phylogeny: Evaluating Information Content of Mitochondrial Genes

    55 (4) • November 2006: 837–856 Qiu & al. • Basal angiosperm phylogeny Reconstructing the basal angiosperm phylogeny: evaluating information content of mitochondrial genes Yin-Long Qiu1, Libo Li, Tory A. Hendry, Ruiqi Li, David W. Taylor, Michael J. Issa, Alexander J. Ronen, Mona L. Vekaria & Adam M. White 1Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, The University Herbarium, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-1048, U.S.A. [email protected] (author for correspondence). Three mitochondrial (atp1, matR, nad5), four chloroplast (atpB, matK, rbcL, rpoC2), and one nuclear (18S) genes from 162 seed plants, representing all major lineages of gymnosperms and angiosperms, were analyzed together in a supermatrix or in various partitions using likelihood and parsimony methods. The results show that Amborella + Nymphaeales together constitute the first diverging lineage of angiosperms, and that the topology of Amborella alone being sister to all other angiosperms likely represents a local long branch attrac- tion artifact. The monophyly of magnoliids, as well as sister relationships between Magnoliales and Laurales, and between Canellales and Piperales, are all strongly supported. The sister relationship to eudicots of Ceratophyllum is not strongly supported by this study; instead a placement of the genus with Chloranthaceae receives moderate support in the mitochondrial gene analyses. Relationships among magnoliids, monocots, and eudicots remain unresolved. Direct comparisons of analytic results from several data partitions with or without RNA editing sites show that in multigene analyses, RNA editing has no effect on well supported rela- tionships, but minor effect on weakly supported ones. Finally, comparisons of results from separate analyses of mitochondrial and chloroplast genes demonstrate that mitochondrial genes, with overall slower rates of sub- stitution than chloroplast genes, are informative phylogenetic markers, and are particularly suitable for resolv- ing deep relationships.

In this study, we analyzed two datasets using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference methods: (1) two markers (ITS, trnL-F) of 285 Delphinieae species, and (2) six markers (ITS, trnL-F, trnH-psbA, trnK-matK, trnS-trnG, rbcL) of 32 Delphinieae species. All our analyses show that traditional Aconitum is not monophyletic and that subgenus Gymnaconitum and a broadly defined Delphinium form a clade. The SOWH tests also reject the inclusion of subgenus Gymnaconitum in traditional Aconitum. Subgenus Gymnaconitum markedly differs from other species of Aconitum and other genera of tribe Delphinieae in many non-molecular characters. By integrating lines of evidence from molecular phylogeny, divergence times, morphology, and karyology, we raise the mono- typic A. subg. Gymnaconitum to generic status.
