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.

  • GENOME EVOLUTION in MONOCOTS a Dissertation
    GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS A Dissertation Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School At the University of Missouri In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy By Kate L. Hertweck Dr. J. Chris Pires, Dissertation Advisor JULY 2011 The undersigned, appointed by the dean of the Graduate School, have examined the dissertation entitled GENOME EVOLUTION IN MONOCOTS Presented by Kate L. Hertweck A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy And hereby certify that, in their opinion, it is worthy of acceptance. Dr. J. Chris Pires Dr. Lori Eggert Dr. Candace Galen Dr. Rose‐Marie Muzika ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to many people for their assistance during the course of my graduate education. I would not have derived such a keen understanding of the learning process without the tutelage of Dr. Sandi Abell. Members of the Pires lab provided prolific support in improving lab techniques, computational analysis, greenhouse maintenance, and writing support. Team Monocot, including Dr. Mike Kinney, Dr. Roxi Steele, and Erica Wheeler were particularly helpful, but other lab members working on Brassicaceae (Dr. Zhiyong Xiong, Dr. Maqsood Rehman, Pat Edger, Tatiana Arias, Dustin Mayfield) all provided vital support as well. I am also grateful for the support of a high school student, Cady Anderson, and an undergraduate, Tori Docktor, for their assistance in laboratory procedures. Many people, scientist and otherwise, helped with field collections: Dr. Travis Columbus, Hester Bell, Doug and Judy McGoon, Julie Ketner, Katy Klymus, and William Alexander. Many thanks to Barb Sonderman for taking care of my greenhouse collection of many odd plants brought back from the field.

  • 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).

However, only a few species have significant economic potential. These palms occur essentiallyin seasonal swamp forests on waterlogged soils covering vast areas in Peruvian Amazonia, or on sandy soils. Three especially promising species- Jessenia bataua, Mauritia flexuosa and Euterpe pre- catoria-constitute dense populations on these soils, which are generally considered as unfit for agriculture. The management of promising palm populations will contribute to increasing

(EO), popularly known as açaí, belongs to the Arecaceae family and grows abundantly in Brazil. The fruit of this palm tree is widely used because of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In this review, a search for literature and patent technological prospecting has been performed on the use of EO to treat and prevent diseases as well as to prepare pharmaceutical formulations. EO leaves, fruits, and oil stand out for their large number of pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antinociceptive, anticancer, anti-atherogenic, and healing activities, protection against metabolic syndromes such as diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, and protection of organs such as lung, kidney, liver, heart, and nervous system. While the phytochemical composition is intrinsically linked to identified biological activities, discoveries of the past decade concerning the use of this species have shown pharmacological alternatives mainly in the treatment and prevention of breast cancer and metabolic syndromes.

In this chapter, we attempt to describe the major types of vegetation cover in this vast region as they occurred in pre- Columbian times and outline the conditions that support them. Examining the large-scale phytogeographic regions characterized by each major cover type (see Fig. I), we provide basic information on geology, geological history, topography, and climate; describe variants of physiognomy (vegetation structure) and geography; discuss transitions; and examine some floristic patterns and affinities within and among these regions.

Understanding such relations is useful in the case of introduced species because their ability to establish and invade must be clarified in terms of their responses in the new site. Our purpose was to assess the survival and invasive capacity of an introduced palm species in the Atlantic rainforest, Euterpe oleracea Mart., compared to the native Euterpe edulis Mart. and to the hybrids produced between the two species. Considering this, we compared the allometry in different ontogenetic stages, the germination rates, and aspects of the initial development. The ontogenetic stages proposed for both Euterpe illustrated the growth patterns described for palm trees. E. oleracea and hybrids adjusted to the geometric similarity allometric model, while E. edulis presented a slope greater than would be expected considering this model, indicating a greater height for a given diameter.
