Cours.], all Cistaceae species from the Mediterranean region, was studied after seed storage in liquid nitrogen (LN, -196ºC) for four months. In all samples assayed, mechanical scarification of the seed coat was carried out to enhance seed germination. For most samples studied, final germination percentages were unaffected by storage of seeds in LN, both for intact seeds and for scarified seeds. The germination rate of cryopreserved seeds, expressed as days to reach 50% of the final germination percentage (T50), was lower only for four samples of intact seeds and for three samples of scarified seeds. Therefore, this study shows that seed cryopreservation could be a suitable procedure for the long-term seed conservation of several Halimium and Helianthemum species. Keywords: Cistaceae, cryopreservation, liquid nitrogen, seed germination, seed scarification INTRODUCTION Five genera of the family Cistaceae (Cistus, Fumana, Halimium, Helianthemum and Xolantha) form an important part of the Mediterranean shrub (21). In the present work, four Halimium species [H. atriplicifolium, H. halimifolium, H. ocymoides (2 populations) and H. umbellatum (2 populations)] and eight Helianthemum species [H. almeriense, H. appeninum (3 populations), H. cinereum, H. hirtum, H. marifolium, H. nummularium, H. syriacum and H. squamatum] were tested for seed cryoconservation. Three of the twelve species studied (Halimium atriplicifolium, Helianthemum almeriense and Helianthemum squamatum) are Iberian endemic shrubs. All shrubby species studied could be used as ornamental plants and they show a remarkable plasticity and adaptability to rather extreme ecological conditions (cold, aridity, poor soils) and therefore they are of interest because of their potential use to restore arid zones. 271 Seed storage is the simplest and most efficient method for ex situ conservation of plant genetic resources. Conventional seed banks have traditionally been used for germplasm conservation. There are reports on successful long term seed conservation of wild species in seed banks (3, 10, 18). However, in those storage conditions some seed deterioration may occur (20). Seed cryopreservation has emerged as a option for ex situ long-term conservation of wild species, especially for small, orthodox seeds (1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 15, 23). González- Benito et al. (7) proved that seed cryopreservation is useful for germplasm conservation of three Cistaceae species (Cistus osbeckiifolius, Helianthemum polygonoides and Helianthemum squamatum). An additional problem in seed preservation of wild species is that many of them show seed dormancy. Thus, in such cases, treatments are needed to allow germination in laboratory conditions. Seed coat hardness and impermeability to water are the most important causes of the low germination of several Halimium and Helianthemum species (5, 12, 14, 16, 17, 19, 21, 22). However, seed germination can be enhanced, in the laboratory, by mechanical scarification (5, 16, 17, 19). Therefore, in all species studied, mechanical scarification was also carried out and their possible interaction with cryopreservation was studied. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of seed cryopreservation on the germination of several Halimium and Helianthemum species. MATERIALS AND METHODS For each accession, ripe fruits (capsules) containing mature seeds were collected in the field in July 2002 and July 2003. Table 1 shows the collection year and collection site, as well as the ecological preference of the 16 accessions collected. The seeds from all collected capsules showed a similar degree of ripeness, as it was observed from their colour and hardness. For each species, fruits were randomly chosen from 20 different plants before extracting the seeds from the capsules. Seeds were cleaned, kept in hermetic glass containers and stored in a dry place (ca. 30% RH) at room temperature (ca. 23ºC) until the start of the trials in the autumn of the same year that the seeds were collected. The seed water content, expressed as a percentage of fresh weight, was determined using the air oven method (103ºC for 17 h; 11). The seed water content determination was carried out immediately prior to seed storage. Seed samples were placed in 2 ml plastic cryovials and immersed in liquid nitrogen (LN, -196ºC, seed cooling rate of 130ºC min-1; 9) for four months. The subsequent warming procedure consisted of removing the samples from cryogenic storage and allowing them to warm under room temperature (ca. 23ºC) to equilibrium (24 h). The seeds were then tested for germination. For cryopreserved seeds, mechanical scarification was performed after thawing. Thus, in all samples assayed, mechanical scarification of the seed-coat was carried out in one group of cryopreserved seeds in order to enhance seed germination. Seeds were mechanically scarified by abrasion between two sheets of fine-grained sandpaper. In all trials, four replicates of 25 seeds each were tested for germination on top of two sheets of filter paper (previously moistened with 3.5 ml distilled water) in 7-cm diameter glass Petri dishes. The Petri dishes were randomly placed in a seed germinator at 15ºC under a 16 h light / 8 h dark photoperiod. The incubation temperature chosen (15ºC) was based on previous experiences (5, 19). Distilled water was added as needed to maintain constant moisture during the experiments, and germinating seeds were counted and removed every two days over a 60- day incubation period. The criterion for germination was emergence of the radicle through the seed coat. Seed samples used as controls followed the same procedure described for cryopreserved seed samples, except for the LN storage itself. 272 Table 1.

When the final germination percentage was equal to or less than 5%, the T50 value was not calculated. The germination percentage values were arcsine transformed and then subjected to one-way analysis of variance. The statistical analysis of T50 values was also carried out using one-way ANOVA. Results of the mechanical scarification treatments were analysed separately. 273 RESULTS Seed water content ranged from 3.9% to 4.7%. Table 2 shows final germination percentages after cryopreservation period of four months for all species studied. In all samples assayed, mechanical scarification of seed coat significantly increased germination in both control (non-cryopreserved seeds) and cryopreserved seeds (Table 2). Table 2.

  • SOME CHROMOSOME COUNTS in the EUROPEAN CISTACEAE By
    SOME CHROMOSOME COUNTS IN THE EUROPEAN CISTACEAE By M. C. F. PROCTOR Botany School, Cambridge* The Cistaceae are a small and rather homogeneous family, distributed chiefly in the Mediterranean region. A few, including the four British species, extend into central and northern Europe, and others occur in the west Asian steppes, the Arabian and north African deserts, and the Atlantic islands. In addition a number of species, which will not be considered further here, are confined to the New World. The Linnean genus Cistus originally included all the European Cistaceae, but these are now invariably sub­ divided. Grosser (1903) in his monograph of the family recognises five genera, and I follow most recent authors in adopting them throughout this paper. A number of chromosome counts of species of Cistaceae exist in the literature, but taken as a whole they are unsatisfactory. Few have been based on wild material of known origin, and some seem certainly to be wrong. The position in Cistus itself is clear. Many counts have been made by several workers with the uniform result 2n = 18 in all the species investigated (Chiarugi, 1925, 1937; Collins in Warburg, 1930; Bowden, 1940; La Cour in Darlington & Janaki Amrnal, 1945). The published records for Helianthemum s.l. present a much more confused picture, which it is the attempt of the present paper to clarify. Counts have been made of both mitotic and meiotic chromosomes. Mitosis was examined in root tips obtained either from germinating seeds or from pot-grown plants. The roots were cut off, pre-treated with 0·002 M 8-hydroxy-quinoline for 4-6 hours, and then fixed in Carnoy's fluid.

  • Historical Biogeography and Character Evolution of Cistaceae (Malvales) Based on Analysis of Plastid Rbcl and Trnl-Trnf Sequences Beatriz Guzma´Nã, Pablo Vargas
    ARTICLE IN PRESS Organisms, Diversity & Evolution 9 (2009) 83–99 www.elsevier.de/ode Historical biogeography and character evolution of Cistaceae (Malvales) based on analysis of plastid rbcL and trnL-trnF sequences Beatriz Guzma´nÃ, Pablo Vargas Real Jardı´n Bota´nico – CSIC, Plaza de Murillo 2, 28014-Madrid, Spain Received 22 October 2008; accepted 21 January 2009 Abstract Cistaceae consist of eight genera and about 180 species. Some taxonomic limits and relationships within the family remain unresolved when relying exclusively on morphological data. In the present study, a phylogeny was reconstructed and divergence times were estimated for 47 species representing various groups in Cistaceae and using coding (rbcL) and spacer (trnL-trnF) sequences of plastid DNA. The firm set of morphological synapomorphies that indicates the monophyly of the family is supported by both Bayesian and parsimony analyses. Five major lineages can be distinguished within the Cistaceae: (1) an early-diverging lineage containing Fumana species; (2) the New World Lechea clade; (3) the Helianthemum s.l. clade, containing two sister groups, one of species from the New World (Crocanthemum, Hudsonia) and the other with species from the Old World (Helianthemum s. str.); (4) the Tuberaria clade; and (5) a cohesive complex consisting of Halimium and Cistus species. Evolutionary shifts in 12 key characters of Cistaceae are inferred based on the most plausible phylogenetic hypothesis. Reconstructing the evolution of ovule position supports anatropous ovules as the ancestral condition within the Cistaceae, which is currently found only in Fumana. The Cistus-Halimium assemblage is consistently obtained as a natural clade and further supported by a cytological synapomorphy (chromosome number n ¼ 9).

  • Fire and Summer Temperatures Work Together Breaking Physical Seed Dormancy Belén Luna
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Fire and summer temperatures work together breaking physical seed dormancy Belén Luna Fire and high summer soil temperatures can break physical seed dormancy in Mediterranean fre-prone ecosystems. Their independent efect is somewhat recognized but both factors may act together with a synergistic efect yet unknown. This study aims to determine the isolated and combined efects of fre and summer temperatures on the release of physical seed dormancy in Cistaceae species. Fire and summer temperature treatments were applied in a factorial experiment to seeds of 12 species of Cistaceae. Seeds previously exposed or not to a heat shock (fre simulation) were kept for 1 or 2 months at constant or alternating temperatures (summer temperatures simulation). Additionally, I compared the efect of exposing the seeds to a heat shock before or after they had been subjected to the summer temperatures. Heat shock increased germination of all species, but summer temperatures produced diferent results. When seeds were exposed to summerARTICLE temperatures after heat shock, germination decreased. This negative efect disappeared when heat shock was simulated at the end of the summer temperatures. Fire and summer temperatures modulate timing of germination in Cistaceae with a joint control on post-fre regeneration. Cycling of sensitivity to physical dormancy release may be the mechanism to explain this fne-tuning, which would ensure germination when environmental conditions are suitable for growth. These results contribute to our understanding of vegetation dynamics and postfre regeneration in Mediterranean ecosystems. Cistaceae is a plant family widely distributed in the Mediterranean Basin forming vast areas of shrublands, which dominate the landscape afer fre occurrence1.
