Abakan is a city district, the capital of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation of the Republic of Khakassia, with a population of 171.2 thousand people. On botanical and geographical zoning of L M Cherepnin Abakan is located in the Priabakanskaya valley steppe (S1) in the central part of the Khakass-Minusinsk depression at a height of 250 m above the sea level at the mouth of the Abakan river. Despite the fact that the territory of the Republic of Khakassia is studied well from the botanical point of view, there is not enough information about the current state, structure and species composition of the flora of the city of Abakan, which constituted the basis for in-depth studies of its vegetation cover.

Sagittaria species have been reported to display remarkable variation in gender expres- sion. Here, we investigated gender variation in Sagittaria pygmaea, the smallest sized monoecious species in the genus. We used the midvein length as an indicator of plant size and production of male and female fl owers as an indicator of gender variation in a single infl orescence. We counted the total number of infl orescences to assess the effect of infl orescence variation on the gender variation pattern. Our results showed that vari- ation in infl orescence number did not affect gender variation. Male fl ower production increased with increasing plant size, but female fl ower production did not. Plants of S. pygmaea might enhance their paternal reproductive success by increasing the number of male fl owers with increasing plant size.

Abstract. While testing the effieacy of herbicides on paddy weeds at the Rice Research Institute of Iran (RRII) in 2008, we encountered the failure of arrowhead {Sagittaria sagittifolia L., Alismataceae) seeds to germinate. Detailed investigation revealed physical damage of seeds caused by the larvae of Gynnidomorpha permixtana (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) (Tortricidae, Tortricinae, Cochylina). Further studies showed that larvae feed on the seeds and flowers of the host plant and destroy the achenes. Under laboratory conditions G. permixtana required 23-30 days to complete its life cycle. Arrowhead is a new host record for this moth species; further- more, this is the first detailed record of a tortricid feeding on this plant. Introduction Arrowhead {Sagittaria sagittifolia L.; Alismataceae) is a perennial weed that is present throughout the rice growing areas of eastern Asia (Naylor 1996). It is a major weed pest of paddy rice in Iran (Mohammadsharifi 2000). Arrowhead is difficult to control due to herbicide tolerance and sea- son-long emergence (Kwon 1993).

In our study, we used whole-plant dose-response, acetolactate synthase (ALS) sequencing, and ALS enzyme activity methods to assess 3 putative resistant (LN-1, LN-2, and LN-3) and one susceptible (S) S. trifolia populations for cross- resistance to ALS inhibitors (bensulfuron-methyl, ethoxysulfuron, pyrazosulfuron-ethyl, penoxsulam, pyribenzoxim, and bispyribac-sodium). Regarding the whole-plant dose-response and the in vitro ALS assays, the results showed that the LN-2 population evolved cross-resistance to all herbicides tested whereas the other two populations showed cross- resistance only to bensulfuron-methyl, ethoxysulfuron, pyrazosulfuron-ethyl, and penoxsulam. Results of the in vitro ALS assays were consistent with whole-plant dose-response data. The DNA sequencing of the ALS gene showed that LN-1 and LN-3 populations had a single nucleotide polymorphism in the Pro 197 codon, resulting in the substitution of proline (Pro) by serine (Ser) and leucine (Leu), respectively.

Using nine effective ISSR primers, a total of 92 DNA fragments were generated with 54 (percentage of polymorphic loci, PPL: 58.7%) being polymorphic. A higher level of genetic diversity among populations was found in S. natans (PPL: 48.9%) than S. trifolia (PPL: 32.6%). Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed that in each species a similar proportion of the total genetic variation resided within and among populations, and that between species there was a moderate genetic differentiation (Gst: 0.601). With the use of 54 polymorphic ISSR markers, we identified 116 genets among 138 samples from five S. natans populations, and 93 genets among 215 samples from nine S. trifolia populations.

Sanjiang plain is recognized as a biodiversity hotspot in China, and knowledge of aquatic vascular plant species is essential for long-term wetland conservation programs. This investigation provided a checklist of aquatic vascular plants for the Sanjiang plain wetland, and information about the influences of water depth on their parameters. Based on the inventory, 149 species were identified, belonging to 86 genera, 44 families and 32 orders. Of these, Cyperales was the most diverse order with 26 species, followed by Graminalis (14 species). Cyperaceae and Gramineae were the most species-rich families (26 and 14 species, respectively). Carex and Polygonum were the most species-rich genera with 14 and 9 species, respectively.

Poyang Lake, located in the middle reaches of Yangtze River (central China), constitutes the largest freshwater lake of the country. It harbours high biodiversity and provides important habitat for local wildlife. A dam that will maintain the water capacity in Poyang Lake is currently being planned. However, the local biodiversity and the likely effects of this dam on the biodiversity (especially on the endemic and rare plants) have not been thoroughly examined.

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 66 (Supplement to 3): S111–S122. The first pre-Quaternary representative of Alismataceae from South America is reported based on achenes of Sagittaria montevidensis from the Palo Pintado Formation (upper Miocene) in the south of Salta Province, Argentina. Achenes are laterally compressed, have a lateral beak and a single recurved seed inside them. The fruits were found both in the base (10 Ma) and the top of the formation (~5 Ma), suggesting similar environmental conditions during this time period. A cursory review of the Alismataceae family in the fossil record, with a special interest in those South American reports is given. During the Oligocene–Miocene Sagittaria may have arrived from tropical Africa to South America and thence to North America.

Flowers often whorled at nodes of scape forming racemes, panicles, or umbels, pedicellate, actinomorphic, bisexual, unisexual, or polygamous, usually bracteate. Sepals 3, persistent, green. Petals 3, deciduous, usually white, sometimes yellowish. Stamens 3 to numerous, whorled, with elongated filaments; anthers 2-celled, extrorse, opening by longitudinal slits. Carpels 3 to numerous, whorled or spirally arranged, free; ovules 1 to several; style persistent. Fruit a cluster or whorl of lat- erally compressed achenes, drupelets, or occasionally follicles. Seeds curved, with a horseshoe-shaped embryo; endosperm absent. About 13 genera and ca. 100 species: cosmopolitan, especially abundant in temperate and tropical regions of the N Hemisphere; six genera (one introduced) and 18 species (three endemic, one introduced) in China.

  • Sagittaria Graminea (Alismataceae)
    Effects of Tidal Action on Pollination and Reproductive Allocation in an Estuarine Emergent Wetland Plant– Sagittaria graminea (Alismataceae) Yanwen Zhang1,2*, Lihui Zhang2, Xingnan Zhao2, Shengjun Huang1, Jimin Zhao2 1 Department of Biology, Eastern Liaoning University, Dandong, China, 2 Department of Biology, Changchun Normal University, Changchun, China Abstract In estuarine wetlands, the daily periodic tidal activity has a profound effect on plant growth and reproduction. We studied the effects of tidal action on pollination and reproductive allocation of Sagittaria graminea. Results showed that the species had very different reproductive allocation in tidal and non-tidal habitats. In the tidal area, seed production was only 9.7% of that in non-tidal habitat, however, plants produced more male flowers and nearly twice the corms compared to those in non-tidal habitat. An experiment showed that the time available for effective pollination determined the pollination rate and pollen deposition in the tidal area. A control experiment suggested that low pollen deposition from low visitation frequency is not the main cause of very low seed sets or seed production in this plant in tidal habitat. The negative effects of tides (water) on pollen germination may surpass the influence of low pollen deposition from low visitation frequency. The length of time from pollen deposition to flower being submerged by water affected pollen germination rate on stigmas; more than three hours is necessary to allow pollen germination and complete fertilization to eliminate the risk of pollen grains being washed away by tidal water.
