Phylogeny and divergence times inferred from rps16 sequence data analyses for Tricyrtis (Liliaceae), an endemic genus of north-east Asia. AoB PLANTS 2011 plr025 doi:10.1093/aobpla/plr025 Abstract Background Tricyrtis is a genus of monocots with attractive and sophisticated flower shapes and colours, and aims endemic to north-east Asia. There are 18 known species. The highly restricted geographical distribution of the genus is of great interest in terms of both abiotic (continental drift) and biotic (long-distance dispersal) impacts on monocot plant speciation events and their timing, and of evolutionary patterns of diversification leading to the extant taxa. The aims of this study were to (i) predict the time of speciation (divergence) events at infraspecific levels of Tricyrtis, (ii) estimate the rate of evolution of the genus and (iii) provide information on an excellent plant model system in terms of studying loss of biodiversity or extinction of organisms in the dynamic earth environment. Methodology To investigate the divergence time and evolution rate of Tricyrtis, Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analyses were performed by calculating the mean branch lengths of evolutionary paths based on base substitution variations between rps16 intron nucleotide sequences from the 18 known species.

    Outline of Angiosperm Phylogeny

    Outline of angiosperm phylogeny: orders, families, and representative genera with emphasis on Oregon native plants Priscilla Spears December 2013 The following listing gives an introduction to the phylogenetic classification of the flowering plants that has emerged in recent decades, and which is based on nucleic acid sequences as well as morphological and developmental data. This listing emphasizes temperate families of the Northern Hemisphere and is meant as an overview with examples of Oregon native plants. It includes many exotic genera that are grown in Oregon as ornamentals plus other plants of interest worldwide. The genera that are Oregon natives are printed in a blue font. Genera that are exotics are shown in black, however genera in blue may also contain non-native species. Names separated by a slash are alternatives or else the nomenclature is in flux. When several genera have the same common name, the names are separated by commas. The order of the family names is from the linear listing of families in the APG III report.

Plants were grown with a base nutrient solution in outdoor sand cultures and salinized at 13 (early), 26 (mid), and 42 (late) d after planting (DAP). For the treatment salt concentrations, we used a salinity composition that would occur in a typical soil in the San Joaquin Valley of California using drainage waters for irrigation. Salinity treatments measuring electrical 1 conductivities (ECi) of 3, 7, 11, 15, 19 and 23 dS m were achieved by adding MgSO4 ,Na2SO4 , NaCl and CaCl2 to the base nutrient solution. These salts were added to the base nutrient solution incrementally over a 5-d period to avoid osmotic shock to the seedlings. The base nutrient solution without added salts served as the non-saline control (3 dS m1). Solution pH was uncontrolled and ranged from 7.7to8.0. Both species were salt sensitive at the early seedling stage and became more salt tolerant as time to salinization increased.

    Tetragonia decumbens | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/tetragonia-decumbens pza.sanbi.org Tetragonia decumbens | Plantz Africa Introduction This widespread dune plant is edible and also performs an important role in stabilizing the sand, enabling the dune to develop into a friendly environment for other plants. Description Description This is a spreading shrub with dark green, sessile, glistening leaves.The sheen is caused by small, shiny, water-storage cells that cover the surface of the leaf. The small, 4-petalled, yellow flowers are situated in groups of 3-5 in the upper leaf axils. They flower from August to November. The fruits are thickly 4-winged. Distribution and habitat Distribution description Found on coastal sand dunes from southern Namibia to the Eastern Cape. Derivation of name and historical aspects History The genus name is derived from the Latin word, tetragonus which means 4-angled, relating to the fruit, and decumbens means prostrate with tip rising upwards. Ecology 1 of 3 2016/12/15 01:48 PM Tetragonia decumbens | Plantz Africa about:reader?url=http://pza.sanbi.org/tetragonia-decumbens Ecology An early colonizer of moist sand dunes, it is an extremely valuable plant for stabilizing moving sand. It acts as a seed-trap and also provides organic matter that enables other species to grow on the dunes. The accumulation of plants matter such as that of Tetragonia decumbens , and the subsequent establishment of other plants, enable dunes to develop from fore dunes to rear dunes that are stabilized by increasing plant growth. The four-angled fruits are easily blown about by the wind, aiding their dispersal.

    Tetragonia Tetragonioides) in New Zealand

    The commercialisation of kōkihi or New Zealand spinach (Tetragonia tetragonioides) in New Zealand N. Roskruge Institute of Natural Resources PN433, Massey University, Private Bag 11-222, Palmerston North 4442, New Zealand Abstract Kōkihi (Tetragonia tetragonioides) is the traditional name applied to the succulent green plant commonly called New Zealand spinach. It is a wild plant which grows in localised pockets along the coasts of both the North and South Islands of New Zealand, Stewart Island and Kermadec Island but it is seldom found naturally in inland areas. Commercially kōkihi is not a widely cultivated crop in New Zealand, however it is relatively common in non-commercial gardens and seed is available in garden centres. Scoping research was undertaken looking at a selection of agronomic factors which apply to this crop in a commercial production system. Kōkihi is susceptible to a minor range of pests and diseases including the fungal diseases Uredo novae-zealandiae (rust) and Helminthosporium sp. (commonly known as silver scurf on potatoes). The relationship of these diseases to other crops will influence the inclusion of NZ spinach in any crop rotation. Management of the plant is otherwise relatively simple and may be well suited to commercial opportunities. Additional keywords: leafy vegetable Introduction Tetragonia tetragonioides has been given New Zealand is the southernmost the dubious recognition as possibly the only landmass of the Pacific Ocean and of the ‗true‘ vegetable Australasia has provided to Pacific cultures. As such it endures a the world cuisine.

Yongyangbo wetlands have been designated as protected areas. A field survey was conducted across five sessions between April 2019 and August of 2019. A total of 248 taxa were identified during the survey, including 72 families, 163 genera, 230 species, 4 subspecies, and 14 varieties. Their life-forms were Th (therophytes) - R5 (non-clonal form) - D4 (clitochores) - e (erect form), with a disturbance index of 33.8%. Three taxa of rare plants were detected: Silene capitata Kom. and Polygonatum stenophyllum Maxim. known to be endangered species, and Aristolochia contorta Bunge, a least-concern species. S. capitata is a legally protected species designated as a Class II endangered species in South Korea. A total of 26 taxa of naturalized plants were observed, with a naturalization index of 10.5%. There was one endemic plant taxon (Salix koriyanagi Kimura ex Goerz). In terms of floristic target species, there was one taxon in class V, one taxon in Class IV, three taxa in Class III, five taxa in Class II, and seven taxa in Class I.

    THE MOLECULAR EVOLUTION OF FLORAL COLOUR SHIFTS IN LATHYRUS L. (FABACEAE) by Xinxin Xue M.Sc., The University of Edinburgh, 2008 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Botany) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) December 2015 © Xinxin Xue, 2015 Abstract In this thesis, I used Lathyrus to study floral colour evolution. My work builds on that of pioneer geneticists who used the sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) for research in early 20th century England. They used the rich horticultural resource of inbred cultivars for genetic study. More recently, studies on flavonoid biochemistry and the phylogenetics of Lathyrus lend tools to place the colour shifts in an evolutionary and molecular context. In chapter 2, I show that the A1 locus is a missense mutation (332 G/A) in the substrate recognition site (SRS1) of flavonoid 3’,5’-hydroxylase (F3’5’H) and is associated with the pink mutant cultivar ‘Painted Lady’ (‘PL’). This single base pair substitution in the mutant F3’5’H is speculated to toggle the enzyme from primary F3’5’H activity to a relatively efficient F3’H, as shown in a heterologous transformation in Arabidopsis PAP1D (a mutant line that produces anthocyanin constitutively). In chapter 3, I constructed a multi-species coalescent tree using Bayesian inference and reconstructed the ancestral states for floral colour, life history trait (perennial or annual) and floral pattern. The ancestral states for Lathyrus are anthocyanin rich (AR), annual and concolourous. However, no correlation was found between the life history trait (which is linked to breeding systems) and the loss of anthocyanin colour in the petal, when corrected for phylogenetic independence.

(http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6V5X-4WBB71H- 1/2/3622bace9a5f6c088d770bcaa28dcc2f) Abstract: The decline of flower-visiting insects is a threat to ecological processes and to the services these insects provide. Roadside verges in the Netherlands span approximately 80,000 km and are often covered with semi-natural grasslands. As such, they also provide a suitable habitat for many insects, but this has received little attention so far. We investigated the effects of different management treatments on flower-visiting insects. We studied flower visitation in a 3 years old experimental set-up with five mowing treatments each replicated five times. Management types were: no management and mowing once or twice per year with and without the removal of hay, representing common forms of management and neglect. During an entire growing season, both flowers (number of species and inflorescences) as well as insects (total abundance and actual flower visits) were investigated. Mowing twice per year with removal of hay showed highest values for all measured variables and this effect persisted throughout the growing season. The early summer cut proved to be very important for insect feeding opportunities, due to the re-flowering of plants later in the growing season. Flower abundance showed high correlations with both plant species richness and the number of insect visits.
