ISSN 2153 733X AJO PEAK TO TINAJAS ALTAS: A FLORA OF SOUTHWESTERN ARIZONA Part 6. POACEAE – GRASS FAMILY RICHARD STEPHEN FELGER Herbarium, University of Arizona Tucson, Arizona 85721 & Sky Island Alliance P.O. Box 41165, Tucson, Arizona 85717 *Author for correspondence: [email protected] SUSAN RUTMAN 90 West 10th Street Ajo, Arizona 85321 JIM MALUSA School of Natural Resources and the Environment University of Arizona Tucson, Arizona 85721 [email protected] ABSTRACT A floristic account is provided for the grass family as part of the vascular plant flora of the contiguous protected areas of Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge, and the Tinajas Altas Region in southwestern Arizona. This is the second largest family in the flora area after Asteraceae. A total of 97 taxa in 46 genera of grasses are included in this publication, which includes ones established and reproducing in the modern flora (86 taxa in 43 genera), some occurring at the margins of the flora area or no long known from the area, and ice age fossils. At least 28 taxa are known by fossils recovered from packrat middens, five of which have not been found in the modern flora: little barley ( Hordeum pusillum ), cliff muhly ( Muhlenbergia polycaulis ), Paspalum sp., mutton bluegrass ( Poa fendleriana ), and bulb panic grass ( Zuloagaea bulbosa ). Non-native grasses are represented by 27 species, or 28% of the modern grass flora. -

Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations. -

Viruses and Virus Diseases of Poaceae (Gramineae)
Introduction Hervé Lapierre The Poaceae family comprises a very high number of genera and species. The links between these species and other families are still the subject of many adjustments (see chapter 1). The rapid and continual evolution of our knowledge of biochemical proper- ties and of genomic sequences of the different taxa in this plant family keeps widening perspectives to breeders, agronomists and, of course, to pathologists. The detailed studies of the genetic potential of these species allows us to diversify our strategies in the framework of a sustainable agriculture, particularly concerning the control of viruses that still remains difficult. The globalisation of exchanges of cultivated plants started many thousands years ago and was accelerated with the opening of the oceanic spaces in the XVIth century. The four following centuries have seen the diffusion, all over the world, of the main indus- trial and dietary Poaceae. The beginning of our century seems to have initiated the dif- fusion of ornamental Poaceae and parks. The diffusion of Poaceae species in new ecosystems, and, sometimes in very wide areas as well as the rapid modifications of cultivation methods, inevitably brought about modifications of plant/bio-aggressor balances. The methods for fighting viruses as counterparts to other bio-aggressors still often exploit chemical action against the vectors when the natural resistances are low or non-existent. The use of chemical fight- ing methods against these vectors has become a considerable societal issue as are all the new methods using transgenesis. Many analyses focusing on the challenges linked to transgenesis as a method for fighting the viruses of Poaceae are presented in this book. -

High-throughput next-generation sequencing has been used in characterizing the virome of different bat species. The cave nectar bat, Eonycteris spelaea, has a broad geographical range across Southeast Asia, India and southern China, however, little is known about their involvement in virus transmission. -

We can go outside and enjoy our beautiful mid-Atlantic spring, which is unfolding reliably even in these uncertain times (uncertain for humans, that is). Although our spring eld trips and programs are canceled, MNPS is fortunate as an organiza- tion in that our income is from dues and donations rather than program fees. We will resume our—always free—eld trips and evening programs as soon as we can do so safely. In the meantime, I was reminiscing recently about a road trip through New England last fall, www.mdflora.org which included a visit to the Harvard Museum of Natural History and its stunning collection of P.O.

We conducted a molecular phylogenetic study of the Stipeae (including all genera except Anemanthele) using a total of 94 species (nine species were used as outgroups) based on five plastid DNA regions (trnK-5’matK, matK, trnHGUG-psbA, trnL5’-trnF, and ndhF) and a single nuclear DNA region (ITS). -

Donoghue, Yale University, New Haven, CT, and approved December 31, 2009 (received for review August 24, 2009) Grasslands cover more than 20% of the Earth's terrestrial surface, has provided a strong selection pressure for C4 evolution in and their rise to dominance is one of the most dramatic events of eudicots (4). Grasses have long been viewed as an interesting biome evolution in Earth history. Grasses possess two main photo- exception to this pattern (9). Significant positive correlations synthetic pathways: the C3 pathway that is typical of most plants between C4 grass abundance and growing season temperature and a specialized C4 pathway that minimizes photorespiration and have been documented at both continental and regional scales thus increases photosynthetic performance in high-temperature (10–13); C4 grasses dominate tropical grasslands and savannas and/or low-CO2 environments. C4 grasses dominate tropical and but are virtually absent from cool-temperate grasslands and subtropical grasslands and savannas, and C3 grasses dominate the steppes. Furthermore, both experimental measurements of world's cooler temperate grassland regions. This striking pattern photosynthetic light use efficiency (termed “quantum yield”), has been attributed to C4 physiology, with the implication that the and predictions of leaf models of C3 and C4 photosynthesis evolution of the pathway enabled C4 grasses to persist in warmer provide strong evidence that C4 grasses outperform C3 grasses at climates than their C3 relatives.
