By the time a paper is published, however, it is already “old news” because the salient results often are presented months or even years earlier at scientific conferences. Such meetings are the perfect venues to discuss ongoing research and “hot” topics and present them to colleagues from around the world.

  • Common Yellow Woodsorrel
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 23 May 2008 Common Yellow Woodsorrel Common yellow woodsorrel, Oxalis stricta, is a native North American plant (also found in Eurasia) which is usually considered a weed. It has numerous common names, including common yellow oxalis, sour grass, shamrock, sleeping beauty, sour trefoil, and sheep’s clover. It also has many synonyms: Ceratoxalis coloradensis, O. dillenii, O. europaea, O. prostrate, O. rupestris, and Xanthoxalis fl orida. It is found in 46 states, but is most numerous in the eastern U. S. and into Canada. This species differs from other wood sorrels by being more erect, the stems grow at a sharp angle (about 90º) from the main stem and Common yellow woodsorrel. the seed pods bend sharply upward on their stalks. Common yellow woodsorrel is distinct from other wood sorrels in that the seed pods bend sharply upward on their stalks, and the stalks also grow at a sharp angle from the main stalk (both angles are about 90 degrees). It also tends to grow in a more upright fashion than other An infestation of common yellow woodsorrel. wood sorrels (stricta means “upright”). This herbaceous plant may grow either as an annual or as a weak perennial. Although it prefers moist soil, and partial shade, it is tolerant of a wide range of conditions. It is commonly found in fi elds, woods and borders, along roadsides and in other waste areas, and will even grow in the cracks of sidewalks. It is also a common summer annual in lawns.

  • Exploring the Role of Auxin in the Androgynophore Movement in Passiflora
    Genetics and Molecular Biology, 38, 3, 301-307 (2015) Copyright © 2015, Sociedade Brasileira de Genética. Printed in Brazil DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1415-475738320140377 Research Article Exploring the role of auxin in the androgynophore movement in Passiflora Livia C.T. Scorza and Marcelo Carnier Dornelas Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Biologia, Departamento de Biologia Vegetal, Campinas, SP, Brazil. Abstract The flowers of the species belonging to the genus Passiflora show a range of features that are thought to have arisen as adaptations to different pollinators. Some Passiflora species belonging to the subgenus Decaloba sect. Xerogona, show touch-sensitive motile androgynophores. We tested the role of auxin polar transport in the modula- tion of the androgynophore movement by applying auxin (IAA) or an inhibitor of auxin polar transport (NPA) in the flowers. We recorded the movement of the androgynophore during mechano-stimulation and analyzed the duration, speed, and the angle formed by the androgynophore before and after the movement, and found that both IAA and NPA increase the amplitude of the movement in P. sanguinolenta. We hypothesize that auxin might have a role in modulating the fitness of these Decaloba species to different pollination syndromes and demonstrate that an interspecific hybrid between insect- and hummingbird-pollinated Xerogona species present a heterosis effect on the speed of the androgynophore movement. Keywords: Passiflora, androgynophore, IAA, NPA, thigmotropism. Received: December 18, 2014; Accepted: April 15, 2015. Introduction Recently, we showed that in some Passiflora species, The genus Passiflora comprises about 500 species the androgynophore can also be a thigmotropic structure, which are mostly woody vines that present a huge diversity i.e., it has the capability to move in response to touch and in flower shape, colors and sizes.

  • Oxalis Violacea L. Violet Wood-Sorrel
    New England Plant Conservation Program Oxalis violacea L. Violet Wood-Sorrel Conservation and Research Plan for New England Prepared by: Thomas Mione Professor Central Connecticut State University For: New England Wild Flower Society 180 Hemenway Road Framingham, MA 01701 508/877-7630 e-mail: [email protected] • website: www.newfs.org Approved, Regional Advisory Council, December 2002 1 SUMMARY Violet Wood-Sorrel (Oxalis violacea L., Oxalidaceae) is a low-growing herbaceous, self-incompatible perennial that produces violet flowers in May, June and again in September. Reproduction is both sexual (with pollination mostly by bees), and asexual (by way of runners). The species is widely distributed in the United States but is rare in New England. Oxalis violacea is an obligate outcrosser: the species is distylous, meaning that there are two flower morphs (pin and thrum), with a given plant producing one morph, not both. Pin flowers are more common than thrum flowers. In New England, the habitat varies from dry to moist, and for populations to remain vigorous forest canopies must remain partially open. Succession, the growth of plants leading to shading, is a factor contributing to decline of O. violacea in New England, as are invasive species and habitat fragmentation. Fire benefits this species, in part by removing competitors. Human consumption of the leaves has been reported. Oxalis violacea has a Global Status Rank of G5, indicating that it is demonstrably widespread, abundant and secure. In Massachusetts, it is ranked as Threatened; five occurrences are current (in four towns among three counties) and 10 are historic. In Connecticut, it is listed as a species of Special Concern; 10 occurrences are current (in ten towns among six counties) and 19 are historic.

  • Brief Information About the Species Status of Utricularia Cornigera Studnicˇka
    Technical Refereed Contribution Brief information about the species status of Utricularia cornigera Studnicˇka Miloslav studnicˇka • Liberec Botanic Gardens • Purkynˇova 630/1 • CZ-460 01 Liberec • Czech Republic • [email protected] Keywords: Utricularia cornigera, hybrid, heterosis, apomixis Abstract: The carnivorous plant Utricularia cornigera Studnicˇka was described in 2009, but author- ities of the International Carnivorous Plant Society published an opinion that it is not a true species, but only a natural hybrid of U. reniformis and U. nelumbifolia. The role of heterosis is discussed, because U. cornigera is much larger than both theoretical parents. Seedlings, the very characteristic feature of bladderworts (Utricularia), are different in all the bladderworts described, that is, in the named species and in artificial hybrids of U. nelumbifolia and U. reniformis. No support for the hypothesis supposing a hybrid origin of U. cornigera was found. Introduction Recently a hypothesis appeared that Utricularia cornigera Studnicˇ ka could be a hybrid of U. nelum- bifolia Gardn. × U. reniformis St.Hil. (Schlauer 2011; Fleischmann 2012). Consequentially, the new species was rejected from the Carnivorous Plant Database (Schlauer 2011). Nevertheless it was accepted in the International Plant Name Index (IPNI 2005). This article presents the results of new experiments with artificial crossings of both theoretical parents proposed by the authors. The manner of germination and specifically the appearance of the seedlings are crucial phenomena in the life strategy of bladderworts. In the Utricularia species from the section Iperua there are two different ways of germination: either by floating seedlings (e.g. U. cornigera, U. nelumbifolia), or by terrestrial seedlings (e.g.

Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e57331. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e57331 Abstract Syrphid flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) are a cosmopolitan group of flower-visiting insects, though their diversity and importance as pollinators is understudied and often unappreciated. Data on 1,477 Syrphid occurrences and floral associations from three years of pollinator collection (2017-2019) in the Southern Illinois region of Illinois, United States, are here compiled and analyzed. We collected 69 species in 36 genera off of the flowers of 157 plant species. While a richness of 69 species is greater than most other families of flower-visiting insects in our region, a species accumulation curve and regional species pool estimators suggest that at least 33 species are yet uncollected.

  • Carnivory in the Teasel Dipsacus Fullonum — the Effect of Experimental Feeding on Growth and Seed Set
    Carnivory in the Teasel Dipsacus fullonum — The Effect of Experimental Feeding on Growth and Seed Set Peter J. A. Shaw*, Kyle Shackleton Department of Life Sciences, Whitelands College, Roehampton University, London, United Kingdom Abstract The teasel, Dipsacus fullonum is known to catch invertebrates in its water filled leaf bases, but experimental testing of reproductive benefits of this have been lacking. We report the effects of insect supplementation/removal and water removal during spring/summer on Dipsacus in two field populations. There were no significant treatment effects on biomass, but addition of dead dipteran larvae to leaf bases caused a 30% increase in seed set and the seed mass:biomass ratio. This study provides the first empirical evidence for reproductive benefit from carnivory in Dipsacus fullonum.

  • Carnivorous Plants with Hybrid Trapping Strategies
    CARNIVOROUS PLANTS WITH HYBRID TRAPPING STRATEGIES BARRY RICE • P.O. Box 72741 • Davis, CA 95617 • USA • [email protected] Keywords: carnivory: Darlingtonia californica, Drosophyllum lusitanicum, Nepenthes ampullaria, N. inermis, Sarracenia psittacina. Recently I wrote a general book on carnivorous plants, and while creating that work I spent a great deal of time pondering some of the bigger issues within the phenomenon of carnivory in plants. One of the basic decisions I had to make was select what plants to include in my book. Even at the genus level, it is not at all trivial to produce a definitive list of all the carnivorous plants. Seventeen plant genera are commonly accused of being carnivorous, but not everyone agrees on their dietary classifications—arguments about the status of Roridula can result in fistfights!1 Recent discoveries within the indisputably carnivorous genera are adding to this quandary. Nepenthes lowii might function to capture excrement from birds (Clarke 1997), and Nepenthes ampullaria might be at least partly vegetarian in using its clusters of ground pitchers to capture the dead vegetable mate- rial that rains onto the forest floor (Moran et al. 2003). There is also research that suggests that the primary function of Utricularia purpurea bladders may be unrelated to carnivory (Richards 2001). Could it be that not all Drosera, Nepenthes, Sarracenia, or Utricularia are carnivorous? Meanwhile, should we take a closer look at Stylidium, Dipsacus, and others? What, really, are the carnivorous plants? Part of this problem comes from the very foundation of how we think of carnivorous plants. When drafting introductory papers or book chapters, we usually frequently oversimplify the strategies that carnivorous plants use to capture prey.
