    Mariotti et al. BMC Plant Biology 2010, 10:211 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2229/10/211 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Identification of new polymorphic regions and differentiation of cultivated olives (Olea europaea L.) through plastome sequence comparison Roberto Mariotti1, Nicolò GM Cultrera1, Concepcion Muñoz Díez2, Luciana Baldoni1*, Andrea Rubini1 Abstract Background: The cultivated olive (Olea europaea L.) is the most agriculturally important species of the Oleaceae family. Although many studies have been performed on plastid polymorphisms to evaluate taxonomy, phylogeny and phylogeography of Olea subspecies, only few polymorphic regions discriminating among the agronomically and economically important olive cultivars have been identified. The objective of this study was to sequence the entire plastome of olive and analyze many potential polymorphic regions to develop new inter-cultivar genetic markers. Results: The complete plastid genome of the olive cultivar Frantoio was determined by direct sequence analysis using universal and novel PCR primers designed to amplify all overlapping regions. The chloroplast genome of the olive has an organisation and gene order that is conserved among numerous Angiosperm species and do not contain any of the inversions, gene duplications, insertions, inverted repeat expansions and gene/intron losses that have been found in the chloroplast genomes of the genera Jasminum and Menodora, from the same family as Olea. The annotated sequence was used to evaluate the content of coding genes, the extent, and distribution of repeated and long dispersed sequences and the nucleotide composition pattern. These analyses provided essential information for structural, functional and comparative genomic studies in olive plastids. Furthermore, the alignment of the olive plastome sequence to those of other varieties and species identified 30 new organellar polymorphisms within the cultivated olive.

  • Studies on the Trichomes of Some Oleaceae, Structure and Ontogeny
    STUDIES ON THE TRICHOMES OF SOME OLEACEAE, STRUCTURE AND ONTOGENY B~ J. A. INAMDAR (Department of Botany, Sardar Patel Univeraity, Vallabh Vidyanagar, Gujarat) Received August 22, 1967 (Communicated by Prof. V. Puff, r.A.sc.) ABSTRACT Some twelve types of tricho~aes are described for four species of Jasminum and Nyctanthes arbor-tristis L. They fall under two main categories, the eglandular and the glandular trichomes. The systematic position of Nyctanthes seems to be quite natural in the family Oleaceae. INTRODUCTION The family Oleaceae has received considerable attention of the botanists particularly with reference to the systcmatic position of Nyctanthes and the monotypic genus Dimetra. Airy SEaw (1952) transferred these gcnera to the Verbenaceae on morphological grounds. Stant (1952) has supported Airy Shaw on anatomical grounds. Johnson (1957) in a review of the family Oleaceae opined that Nyctanthes should be excluded from Oleaceae based on the cytological findings of Taylor (1945). On the other hand the embryo- logical data (Patel, 1963; Kapil, 1967) suggests that Nyctanthes should be retained in the Oleaceae. Several workers (De Bary, 1884; Cowan, 1950, Goodspeed, 1954; Carlquist, 1958, 1959a, 1959b, 1959c, 1961; Mathur, 1961 ; Ramayya, 1962 a, 1962b, 1963) have described the structure and development of trichomes and glands in several angisoperm families. The present investi- gation was carried out to find if the trichomes ~nd glands could be of any help in settling the doubtful systematic position of Oleaceous genera. The present paper deals with the study of eglandular and glandular (glands) trichomes on the vegetative organs of four species of Jasminum, viz., J.

ROBERT A. WHARTON Department of Entomology, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas 77843 USA; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Collections of fruits from indigenous species of Oleaceae were made in Kenya between 1999 and 2003. Members of the four Kenyan genera were sampled in coastal and highland forest habitats, and at altitudes from sea level to 2979 m. Schrebera alata, whose fruit is a woody capsule, produced Lepidoptera only, as did the fleshy fruits of Jasminum species. Tephritid fruit flies were reared only from fruits of the oleaceous subtribe Oleinae, including Olea and Chionanthus. Four tephritid species were reared from Olea. The olive fly, Bactrocera oleae, was found exclusively in fruits of O. europaea ssp. cuspidata, a close relative of the commercial olive, Olea europaea ssp. europaea. Olive fly was reared from 90% (n = 21) of samples of this species, on both sides of the Rift Valley and at elevations to 2801 m.

  • Phytochemical Evaluation and Antibacterial Activity of Leaf Extract of Jasminum Officinale Against Oral Pathogens in Ulcer Treatment Dr
    Phytochemical Evaluation and Antibacterial Activity of Leaf Extract of Jasminum Officinale Against Oral Pathogens in Ulcer Treatment Dr. Vanita U. Pochhi Shri Shivaji Science and Arts College Chikhli, Dist. Buldana [email protected] ABSTRACT: Medicinal Plants are endowed with phytochemicals that are vital to counter various metabolic disorders like Oxidative damage in cells causing various degenerative diseases. Hence, the present study deals with the assessment of antioxidant activity and phytochemical screening of the aqueous extract of Jasminum officinale leaves. From ancient times, plants have been used in traditional medicines for treatment of different ailments. Medicinal plants is one of the richest bio resources for traditional and folk medicines till date. Jasmine is botanically known as Jasminum officinaleor Jasmininie and belongs to the olive family of Oleaceae. Literature report suggest that Jasmine is analgesic, antidepressant, antiseptic, expectorant, aphrodisiac, sedative, stomachic, diuretic, depurative, astringent, stimulating, anti- oxidizing, anthelmintic and anti-inflammatory in nature. The objective was to study antibacterial activity of Jasminum officinaleextracts against mouth ulcer causing organisms. The antibacterial activity has been studied against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis& Enterococcus faecalis by agar well diffusion method. Leaves extract of J. officinalegive effective results against oral pathogens causing mouth ulcer. Acetone and Ethanol extracts

  • Southern Plant Lists
    Southern Plant Lists Southern Garden History Society A Joint Project With The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation September 2000 1 INTRODUCTION Plants are the major component of any garden, and it is paramount to understanding the history of gardens and gardening to know the history of plants. For those interested in the garden history of the American south, the provenance of plants in our gardens is a continuing challenge. A number of years ago the Southern Garden History Society set out to create a ‘southern plant list’ featuring the dates of introduction of plants into horticulture in the South. This proved to be a daunting task, as the date of introduction of a plant into gardens along the eastern seaboard of the Middle Atlantic States was different than the date of introduction along the Gulf Coast, or the Southern Highlands. To complicate maters, a plant native to the Mississippi River valley might be brought in to a New Orleans gardens many years before it found its way into a Virginia garden. A more logical project seemed to be to assemble a broad array plant lists, with lists from each geographic region and across the spectrum of time. The project’s purpose is to bring together in one place a base of information, a data base, if you will, that will allow those interested in old gardens to determine the plants available and popular in the different regions at certain times. This manual is the fruition of a joint undertaking between the Southern Garden History Society and the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In choosing lists to be included, I have been rather ruthless in expecting that the lists be specific to a place and a time.
