Competition from Below for Light and Nutrients Shifts Productivity Among Tropical Species
Competition from below for light and nutrients shifts productivity among tropical species John J. Ewela,1 and Mari´a Julia Mazzarinob aDepartment of Biology, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611; and bConsejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Te´cnicas de Argentina, Universidad Nacional del Comahue, 8400 Bariloche, Argentina Edited by Christopher B. Field, Carnegie Institution of Washington, Stanford, CA, and approved October 3, 2008 (received for review July 24, 2008) Chance events such as seed dispersal determine the potential canopy: Hyeronima alchorneoides, Cedrela odorata, and Cordia composition of plant communities, but the eventual assemblage is alliodora; 1 alien palm, Euterpe oleracea, which has a native determined in large part by subsequent interactions among spe- congener; and 1 native, giant perennial herb, Heliconia imbricata cies. Postcolonization sorting also affects the ultimate composition (all species are referred to hereafter by genus). The intent was of communities assembled by people for restoration, horticulture, to encompass some of the variability within the broad category or conservation. Thus, knowledge of the mechanisms controlling of canopy-tree life form while holding the identity of the interspecific interactions in plant communities is important for monocots (palm and herb) constant. Among other differences, explaining patterns observed in nature and predicting success or Hyeronima (like the 2 monocots) is never leafless whereas the failure of utilitarian combinations. Relationships among species, other 2 tree species are deciduous after attaining age 5–7 yr, especially those from studies of biological diversity and ecosystem Cedrela in the dry season and Cordia in the wet season. Tree functioning, are largely based on studies of short-lived, temperate- seedlings were planted at high density (2,887 plants per hectare) zone plants. -
Monocotyledons and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands
SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Contributions from the United States National Herbarium Volume 52: 1-415 Monocotyledons and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands Editors Pedro Acevedo-Rodríguez and Mark T. Strong Department of Botany National Museum of Natural History Washington, DC 2005 ABSTRACT Acevedo-Rodríguez, Pedro and Mark T. Strong. Monocots and Gymnosperms of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Contributions from the United States National Herbarium, volume 52: 415 pages (including 65 figures). The present treatment constitutes an updated revision for the monocotyledon and gymnosperm flora (excluding Orchidaceae and Poaceae) for the biogeographical region of Puerto Rico (including all islets and islands) and the Virgin Islands. With this contribution, we fill the last major gap in the flora of this region, since the dicotyledons have been previously revised. This volume recognizes 33 families, 118 genera, and 349 species of Monocots (excluding the Orchidaceae and Poaceae) and three families, three genera, and six species of gymnosperms. The Poaceae with an estimated 89 genera and 265 species, will be published in a separate volume at a later date. When Ackerman’s (1995) treatment of orchids (65 genera and 145 species) and the Poaceae are added to our account of monocots, the new total rises to 35 families, 272 genera and 759 species. The differences in number from Britton’s and Wilson’s (1926) treatment is attributed to changes in families, generic and species concepts, recent introductions, naturalization of introduced species and cultivars, exclusion of cultivated plants, misdeterminations, and discoveries of new taxa or new distributional records during the last seven decades. -

Antioxidant System Is Insufficient to Prevent Cell Damages in Euterpe Oleracea Exposed to Water Deficit
Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture. 2017. 29(3): 206-211 doi: 10.9755/ejfa.2016-09-1217 http://www.ejfa.me/ REGULAR ARTICLE Antioxidant system is insufficient to prevent cell damages in Euterpe oleracea exposed to water deficit Maria Antonia Machado Barbosa1, Allan Klynger da Silva Lobato1*, Thaís Soares Pereira1, Gélia Dinah Monteiro Viana1, José Ricardo Santos Barbosa1, Kelly Nayara Nascimento Coelho1 1Núcleo de Pesquisa Vegetal Básica e Aplicada, Universidade Federal Rural da Amazônia. Paragominas, Pará, Brazil ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine whether antioxidant enzymes are efficient to control the oxidative stress and consequent cell damages on leaves and roots in Euterpe oleracea plants exposed to water deficiency. This study was assembled under an experimental design completely randomized with two water conditions (water deficit and control) combined by four evaluation dates (0, 6, 12, and 18 days). Progressive water deficit promoted significant increases in electrolyte leakage and glutathione in both tissue types, and hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde were increased in the leaf. Antioxidant enzyme activities showed similar behaviours, with initial increases and subsequent decreases. Our results revealed that the cell damage observed in leaves and roots was induced by multiple effects related to overproduction of oxidant compounds, such as hydrogen peroxide, and by insufficient CAT, APX, and GPX activities in E. oleracea plants exposed to progressive water deficit. Keywords: Antioxidant enzymes; Euterpe oleracea; Oxidative damage; Hydrogen peroxide; Water deficiency INTRODUCTION species Phoenix dactylifera and Elaeis guineensis as models (Suresh et al., 2012; Gribaa et al., 2013), being described Water deficiency is a problem frequently found in field significant cell damages after water deficit (Baslam conditions, representing a limiting factor in areas with et al., 2014). -

Farroupilha, 8001. Caixa Postal, 124, CEP. 92425-900, Canoas, RS, Brasil. [email protected] Recebido em 08.VI.2009. Aceito em 03.V.2010 RESUMO – As Arecaceae ou “palmeiras”, como são popularmente conhecidas, compreendem 207 gêneros e 2.675 espécies. Pouco é conhecido sobre sua história paleoecológica no extremo sul do Brasil, principalmente devido à difi culdade de separação das espécies no registro polínico. Para o Estado, é citada a ocorrência de 11 espécies, sendo que 9 são apresentadas neste trabalho contribuindo assim com dados inéditos desta família para o Rio Grande do Sul. A preparação dos grãos de pólen para posterior análise foi realizada através de acetólise. Fez-se descrição polínica dos grãos de pólen de Arecaceae baseado em seus atributos quanti e qualitativos. A análise morfológica das espécies mostrou grãos de pólen estenopolínicos, porém apresentando diferenças em relação ao tamanho e ornamentação, possibilitando o estabelecimento de quatro tipos polínicos. Através dos dados de distribuição e hábitat das espécies foi possível estabelecer correlação entre os tipos polínicos e o ambiente onde as plantas se desenvolvem. Palavras-chave: grãos de pólen, Palmae, morfologia polínica, Arecales.

We propose a method for seed shape quantification based on the comparison of the bi-dimensional images of the seeds with geometric figures. J index is the percent of similarity of a seed image with a figure taken as a model. Models in shape quantification include geometrical figures (circle, ellipse, oval ::: ) and their derivatives, as well as other figures obtained as geometric representations of algebraic equations. The analysis is based on three sources: Published work, images available on the Internet, and seeds collected or stored in our collections. Some of the models here described are applied for the first time in seed morphology, like the superellipses, a group of bidimensional figures that represent well seed shape in species of the Calamoideae and Phoenix canariensis Hort. ex Chabaud. -
