  • The Origin and Early Evolution of Plants on Land

    The Origin and Early Evolution of Plants on Land

    review article The origin and early evolution of plants on land Paul Kenrick & Peter R. Crane . The origin and early evolution of land plants in the mid-Palaeozoic era, between about 480 and 360 million years ago, was an important event in the history of life, with far-reaching consequences for the evolution of terrestrial organisms and global environments. A recent surge of interest, catalysed by palaeobotanical discoveries and advances in the systematics of living plants, provides a revised perspective on the evolution of early land plants and suggests new directions for future research. The origin and early diversification of land plants marks an interval Eoembryophytic (mid-Ordovician [early Llanvirn: ϳ476 Myr] to of unparalleled innovation in the history of plant life. From a simple Early Silurian [late Llandovery: ϳ432 Myr])3. Spore tetrads (com- plant body consisting of only a few cells, land plants (liverworts, prising four membrane-bound spores; Fig. 2d) appear over a broad hornworts, mosses and vascular plants) evolved an elaborate two- geographic area in the mid-Ordovician and provide the first good phase life cycle and an extraordinary array of complex organs and evidence of land plants3,26,29. The combination of a decay-resistant tissue systems. Specialized sexual organs (gametangia), stems with wall (implying the presence of sporopollenin) and tetrahedral an intricate fluid transport mechanism (vascular tissue), structural configuration (implying haploid meiotic products) is diagnostic tissues (such as wood), epidermal structures for respiratory gas of land plants. The precise relationships of the spore producers exchange (stomates), leaves and roots of various kinds, diverse within land plants are controversial, but evidence of tetrads and spore-bearing organs (sporangia), seeds and the tree habit had all other spore types (such as dyads) in Late Silurian and Devonian evolved by the end of the Devonian period.

    American Journal of Botany 91(10): 1683±1699. 2004. FOSSILS AND PLANT PHYLOGENY1 PETER R. CRANE,2,5 PATRICK HERENDEEN,3 AND ELSE MARIE FRIIS4 2Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AB, UK; 3Department of Biological Sciences, The George Washington University, Washington DC 20052 USA; 4Department of Palaeobotany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Box 50007, S-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden Developing a detailed estimate of plant phylogeny is the key ®rst step toward a more sophisticated and particularized understanding of plant evolution. At many levels in the hierarchy of plant life, it will be impossible to develop an adequate understanding of plant phylogeny without taking into account the additional diversity provided by fossil plants. This is especially the case for relatively deep divergences among extant lineages that have a long evolutionary history and in which much of the relevant diversity has been lost by extinction. In such circumstances, attempts to integrate data and interpretations from extant and fossil plants stand the best chance of success. For this to be possible, what will be required is meticulous and thorough descriptions of fossil material, thoughtful and rigorous analysis of characters, and careful comparison of extant and fossil taxa, as a basis for determining their systematic relationships. Key words: angiosperms; fossils; paleobotany; phylogeny; spermatophytes; tracheophytes. Most biological processes, such as reproduction or growth distic context, neither fossils nor their stratigraphic position and development, can only be studied directly or manipulated have any special role in inferring phylogeny, and although experimentally using living organisms. Nevertheless, much of more complex models have been developed (see Fisher, 1994; what we have inferred about the large-scale processes of plant Huelsenbeck, 1994), these have not been widely adopted.

  • Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE

    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE

    Guide to the Flora of the Carolinas, Virginia, and Georgia, Working Draft of 17 March 2004 -- LILIACEAE LILIACEAE de Jussieu 1789 (Lily Family) (also see AGAVACEAE, ALLIACEAE, ALSTROEMERIACEAE, AMARYLLIDACEAE, ASPARAGACEAE, COLCHICACEAE, HEMEROCALLIDACEAE, HOSTACEAE, HYACINTHACEAE, HYPOXIDACEAE, MELANTHIACEAE, NARTHECIACEAE, RUSCACEAE, SMILACACEAE, THEMIDACEAE, TOFIELDIACEAE) As here interpreted narrowly, the Liliaceae constitutes about 11 genera and 550 species, of the Northern Hemisphere. There has been much recent investigation and re-interpretation of evidence regarding the upper-level taxonomy of the Liliales, with strong suggestions that the broad Liliaceae recognized by Cronquist (1981) is artificial and polyphyletic. Cronquist (1993) himself concurs, at least to a degree: "we still await a comprehensive reorganization of the lilies into several families more comparable to other recognized families of angiosperms." Dahlgren & Clifford (1982) and Dahlgren, Clifford, & Yeo (1985) synthesized an early phase in the modern revolution of monocot taxonomy. Since then, additional research, especially molecular (Duvall et al. 1993, Chase et al. 1993, Bogler & Simpson 1995, and many others), has strongly validated the general lines (and many details) of Dahlgren's arrangement. The most recent synthesis (Kubitzki 1998a) is followed as the basis for familial and generic taxonomy of the lilies and their relatives (see summary below). References: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (1998, 2003); Tamura in Kubitzki (1998a). Our “liliaceous” genera (members of orders placed in the Lilianae) are therefore divided as shown below, largely following Kubitzki (1998a) and some more recent molecular analyses. ALISMATALES TOFIELDIACEAE: Pleea, Tofieldia. LILIALES ALSTROEMERIACEAE: Alstroemeria COLCHICACEAE: Colchicum, Uvularia. LILIACEAE: Clintonia, Erythronium, Lilium, Medeola, Prosartes, Streptopus, Tricyrtis, Tulipa. MELANTHIACEAE: Amianthium, Anticlea, Chamaelirium, Helonias, Melanthium, Schoenocaulon, Stenanthium, Veratrum, Toxicoscordion, Trillium, Xerophyllum, Zigadenus.

    Antimicrobial Activities of Some Euphorbiaceae Plants Used in the Traditional Medicine of Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria

    Ethnobotanical Leaflets 14: 654-64. 2010. Antimicrobial Activities of Some Euphorbiaceae Plants Used in the Traditional Medicine of Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria Uduak, A. Essiett1, Kola’, K. Ajibesin* 2 1 Department of Botany and Ecological studies, University of Uyo, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria 2 Department of Pharmacognosy, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Sagamu Campus, Sagamu, Ogun State, Nigeria *E-mail: [email protected] Issued: June 1, 2010 Abstract Nine plant species belonging to the Euphorbiaceae family and used in traditional medicine in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria were evaluated for in vitro antimicrobial activity using agar diffusion method. The stem bark of Maesobotrya dusenii gave the most significant effect followed by its root bark. The inhibitory effect of M. dusenii stem bark extract (37 mm) on Pseudomonas aeruginosa was higher than that of Chloramphenicol (35 mm). However, Alchornea laxiflora leaf extract showed the weakest activity. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the extracts ranged between 12.5 and 250 µg/mL. The results of the antimicrobial effects validated the use of the plants to treat infections caused by these microorganisms. Key words: Euphorbiaceae; antimicrobial activities; traditional medicine; Akwa Ibom State; Nigeria. Introduction The Euphorbiaceae is the 4th largest family of the angiosperms comprising over 300 genera and about 7500 species distributed widely in tropical Africa (Gill, 1988). The euphorbiaceae plants are shrubs, trees, herbs or rarely lianas (Pandey, 2006). Many of them are xerophytes and cactoid and most often with milky latex. The family provides food (Pandey, 2006; Etukudo, 2003) and varied medicinal properties used in ethnobotany (Gill, 1988; Vasishta, 1974; Agbovie et al., 2002; Betti, 2004; Kubmarawa, 2007).

    NEW PLANT SELECTIONS for 2021 ANNUALS Year of the Sunflower the Sunflower Is One of the Most Popular Genera of Flowers to Grow in Your Garden

    NEW PLANT SELECTIONS FOR 2021 ANNUALS Year of the Sunflower The Sunflower is one of the most popular genera of flowers to grow in your garden. First-time to experienced gardeners gravitate to these bold, easy to grow flowers. Sunflowers originated in the Americas and domestic seeds dating back to 2100 BC have been found in Mexico. Native Americans grew sunflowers as a crop, and explorers eventually brought the flowers to Europe in the 1500s. Over the next few centuries, sunflowers became increasingly popular on the European and Asian continent, with Russian farmers growing over 2 million acres in the early 19th century (most of which was used to manufacture sunflower oil). How to Grow and Care for Sunflowers: Sunflower seeds can be direct sown after the risk of frost has passed or started indoors. Seeds should be sown ¼” to ½” deep and kept moist. Taller, larger sunflower varieties have a large taproot to keep them rooted and do not do well when they are transplanted so direct sowing of those varieties is recommended. Choose a site, or a container, in full sun, with average fertility and good drainage. https://ngb.org/year-of-the-sunflower/ Proven Winners 2021 Annual of the Year – Supertunia Mini Vista® Pink Star Meet the newest star in our annual lineup!

    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. For further information, see the references on the last page. Basal Angiosperms (ANITA grade) Amborellales Amborellaceae, sole family, the earliest branch of flowering plants, a shrub native to New Caledonia – Amborella Nymphaeales Hydatellaceae – aquatics from Australasia, previously classified as a grass Cabombaceae (water shield – Brasenia, fanwort – Cabomba) Nymphaeaceae (water lilies – Nymphaea; pond lilies – Nuphar) Austrobaileyales Schisandraceae (wild sarsaparilla, star vine – Schisandra; Japanese

    Hummingbird Gardening Handout 2010

    ATTRACTING HUMMINGBIRDS TO NEW ENGLAND GARDENS I have been gardening for hummingbirds and butterflies in Newbury, MA (zone 6) for the past ten years. Here are my “TOP 15” hummingbird nectar plants, roughly in order of bloom. Those underlined are staples which should be in everyone’s hummingbird garden. 1) RED AND YELLOW COLUMBINE Aquilegia canadensis. New England native usually in bloom when Ruby-throats arrive. Does well in most light conditions and soils except for very dry spots. 2) Bleeding Hearts Dicentra spectabilis is of European origin but larger than the native D. eximia . Other good early bloomers are Japanese quince, a shrub, and flowering maple and crabapple trees. 3) Penstemons All species, especially taller red types from the west such as P. barbatus and P. palmeri. They tend to die out after a while, however. 4) BEEBALM Monarda didyma , especially red, mildew-resistant varieties such as Cambridge Scarlet or Gardenview Scarlet. Native; likes moist soil. 5) CARDINAL FLOWER Lobelia cardinalis. Needs moist soil; mulch in winter. 6) Canna lilies-red; wild Canna indica is best. Dig tubers and store inside over winter. 7) SALVIAS - All the red New World species, especially S. coccinea and S. splendens . I like “Lady in Red” and “Texas Sage.” Easy from seed; treat as annuals. 8) HONEYSUCKLE – “Goldflame”, a native/Japanese hybrid which is very long- blooming, does the best in my conditions and hummingbirds love it. The native Coral Honeysuckle, Lonicera sempervirens is also good if you can grow it. 9) Red Buckeye Aesculus pavia ,. Small tree, native to southeastern US. 10) CYPRESS VINE and ‘Cardinal Climber’ Ipomoa spp.
