  • The Genus Gventhera Andr. in Bess. (Brassicaceae, Brassiceae)
    THE GENUS GVENTHERA ANDR. IN BESS. (BRASSICACEAE, BRASSICEAE) by CÉSAR GÓMEZ-CAMPO Departamento de Biología Vegetal, ETSIA, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. E-28040-Madrid (España) Resumen GÓMEZ-CAMPO. C. (2003). El género Guenthera Andr, in Bess. (Brassicaceae, Brassiceae). Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 60(2): 301-307 (en inglés). Un grupo de nueve especies actualmente incluidas en Brassica difiere de todas las demás por varios caracteres, sobre todo por la porción estilar de sus pistilos, que siempre carece de pri- mordios seminales. Además, por su tallo subterráneo ramificado, que forma un cáudex con varias rosetas; sus hojas de enteras hasta profundamente pinnatífidas, pero nunca pinnatisec- tas; sus cotiledones solo muy ligeramente escotados, y sus semillas, que tienden a ser elip- soidales o aplanadas. Se propone agruparlas todas bajo la denominación genérica Guenthera Andr, in Bess. Se detallan los nuevos nombres para las especies y Subespecies y se añade una clave para diferenciar las especies. Palabras clave: taxonomía, Guenthera, Brassicaceae, Brassica. Abstract GÓMEZ-CAMPO, C. (2003). The genus Guenthera Andr, in Bess. (Brassicaceae, Brassiceae). Anales Jard. Bot. Madrid 60(2): 301-307. A group of nine species -now included in Brassica— differ from all the other species in sever- al characters, mainly in the stylar portion of their pistils always without seed primordia. Also in their branched subterranean stem (caudex) with several leaf rosettes, their leaves entire to deeply pinnatifid but never pinnatisect, their shallowly notched cotyledons and their flattened, elliptic or ovoid seed contour. It is suggested to include these species under the generic de- nomination Guenthera Andr, in Bess. New ñames for the species and subspecies are provided, as well as a determination key for the species.

A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Phylogenetic Evaluation of Intermountain Lepidium: Interdisciplinary Program University of Alaska Fairbanks December 2019 APPROVED: Gary Laursen, Chair Lawrence Duffy, Co-Chair Robert Dorn, Committee member Paul Wolf, Committee member Thomas Green, Department Chair, Department of Chemistry Kinchel Doerner, Dean College of Natural Science and Mathematics Michael Castellini Dean of the Graduate School ABSTRACT The genus Lepidium L. is one of two global genera in the Brassicaceae. The genus has been arranged by species (geographic regions) worldwide, but no formal levels below the genus are recognized. Recent efforts to evaluate phylogenetic relationships have been performed at the global scale for about 20 percent of the species in the genus. The genus is recognized as having subtle and variable morphological characteristics to define species limits. Several nuclear and chloroplast DNA methods have been used to construct phylogenetic relationships within the genus. Incongruences between various phylogenetic trees indicate likely hybridization and/or hybrid origin of multiple species and a genus blurred with a reticulate evolutionary past. Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences were developed here and combined with other ITS sequences on Genbank for other North American species of Lepidium. Two phylogenetic trees were developed, one comparing North American and another dominated by Intermountain West species.

  • Evolutionary Consequences of Dioecy in Angiosperms: the Effects of Breeding System on Speciation and Extinction Rates
    EVOLUTIONARY CONSEQUENCES OF DIOECY IN ANGIOSPERMS: THE EFFECTS OF BREEDING SYSTEM ON SPECIATION AND EXTINCTION RATES by JANA C.

The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada http://www.library.ubc.ca/spcoll/thesauth.html ABSTRACT Dioecy, the breeding system with male and female function on separate individuals, may affect the ability of a lineage to avoid extinction or speciate. Dioecy is a rare breeding system among the angiosperms (approximately 6% of all flowering plants) while hermaphroditism (having male and female function present within each flower) is predominant. Dioecious angiosperms may be rare because the transitions to dioecy have been recent or because dioecious angiosperms experience decreased diversification rates (speciation minus extinction) compared to plants with other breeding systems.

Floristic and phytosociological surveys in NE-Tunisia allowed to discover Eclipta prostrata (Asteraceae) which represents the first record at national level. A description of the species, notes on its ecology and phytosociological remarks are provided. We also stated, for the first time in Tunisia, the status of naturalization of three species (Erigeron bonariensis, Symphyotrichum squamatum, and Lepidium didymum) which does not appear still published until now. Key words: Alien species, Naturalization, North Africa. Introduction Invasions by non-indigenous plant species has become an important component of glob- al environmental change (e.g., Mack & al. 2000). Ruderal environments as well as coastal and riverine habitats have often been reported to harbor many neophytes (Sobrino & al. 2002; Bruno & al. 2004; Dark 2004; Von Holle & Motzkin 2007; Chytrý & al. 2007). Several studies of the coastal region of the Mediterranean Basin have shown a high degree of naturalization of introduced species (see e.g., Badano & Pugnaire 2004; Campos & al. 2004).

Three populations of M. cardinalis and four DC 20560 populations of M. lewisii (representing both described races) were studied from initiation of floral apex to anthesis using SEM and light Phylogenetics of Cochliostema, Geogenanthus, and microscopy. Allometric analyses were conducted on data derived an undescribed genus (Commelinaceae) using from floral organs. Sympatric populations of the species from morphology and DNA sequence data from 26S, 5S- Yosemite National Park were compared. Calyces of M. lewisii initi- NTS, rbcL, and trnL-F loci ate later than those of M. cardinalis relative to the inner whorls, and sepals are taller and more acute.
