Thesis, Ankara, 2010. Anatomical properties of A. wilhelmsii C.Koch. subsp. wilhelmsii, A. lycaonica Boiss. & Heldr., A. setacea Waldst. & Kit., A. kotschyi Boiss. subsp. kotschyi, A. coarctata Poir., A. biebersteinii Afan., which are growing in our country, were described in details. In addition to anatomical studies quantitative analysis of total phenolic constituents and phenolic acids were carried out as well as antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of the plants were examined. Plants were collected during flowering period, herbarium materials were prepared and specimens were also kept in 70% alcohol for anatomical studies. Transverse sections and powdered plant material were examined with chloraldhydrate and Sartur reagents under a light microscope, characteristics which were detected during anatomical studies were described with drawings and original photographs. Results were comperatively evaluated. Methanol extracts of the plants were prepared for quantitative analysis and biological activity studies. The total phenolic contents of the extracts were determined by using the Folin-Ciocalteu assay and the total phenolic content was highest in A. kotschyi subsp. kotschyi extract. Quantitative analysis of phenolic acids in the extracts were done by HPLC and the most abundant phenolic acids were found to be vanillic and caffeic acids. Extracts were also tested for antioxidant and radical scavenging activity by β-carotene-linoleic acid model and by DPPH model. A. lycaonica extract was exhibited highest antioxidant activity while A. kotschyi subsp. kotschyi showed highest radical scavenging activity. Plant extracts were also screened for their cytotoxic activity against MCF-7 cells by MTT assay. According to our results the most active plant was A. kotschyi subsp. kotschyi.

E-mail: [email protected]; Telfax: +81 (0)87 898 8909. Accepted 21 November, 2019 Numerous members of the Anthemideae are important cut-flower and ornamental crops, as well as medicinal and aromatic plants, many of which produce essential oils used in folk and modern medicine, the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. These oils and compounds contained within them are used in the pharmaceutical, flavour and fragrance industries. Moreover, as people search for alternative and herbal forms of medicine and relaxation (such as aromatherapy), and provided that there are no suitable synthetic substitutes for many of the compounds or difficulty in profiling and mimicking complex compound mixtures in the volatile oils, the original plant extracts will continue to be used long into the future. This review highlights the importance of secondary metabolites and essential oils from principal members of this tribe, their global social, medicinal and economic relevance and potential.

Academic Editor: Reinhard Länger Received: 18 August 2015; Accepted: 27 May 2016; Published: 27 May 2016 Abstract: The value of root and rhizome anatomy for the taxonomic characterisation of 59 species classified into 34 genera and 12 subtribes from the Asteraceae tribes Cardueae and Cichorieae was assessed. In addition, the evolutionary history of anatomical characters was reconstructed using a nuclear ribosomal DNA sequence-based phylogeny of the Cichorieae. Taxa were selected with a focus on pharmaceutically relevant species. A binary decision tree was constructed and discriminant function analyses were performed to extract taxonomically relevant anatomical characters and to infer the separability of infratribal taxa, respectively. The binary decision tree distinguished 33 species and two subspecies, but only five of the genera (sampled for at least two species) by a unique combination of hierarchically arranged characters. Accessions were discriminated—except for one sample worthy of discussion—according to their subtribal affiliation in the discriminant function analyses (DFA). However, constantly expressed subtribe-specific characters were almost missing and even in combination, did not discriminate the subtribes.

These conditions are rather unfavourable for sexual reproduction of flowering plants. Apomixis, asexual reproduction via seed, provides reproductive assurance without the need of pollinators and potentially accelerates seed development. Therefore, apomixis is expected to provide selective advantages in high-alpine biota. Indeed, apomictic species occur frequently in the subalpine to alpine grassland zone of the European Alps, but the mode of reproduction of the subnival to nival flora was largely unknown. † Methods The mode of reproduction in 14 species belonging to seven families was investigated via flow cyto- metric seed screen.

  • Vegetation Data Access and Taxonomic Harmonization Version 0.5.97
    Vegetation data access and taxonomic harmonization version 0.5.97 Florian Jansen December 11, 2012 Abstract An example session to show functionality and usage of R library vegdata. After installation of vegdata you can invoke this PDF with > vignette('vegdata') 1 Preliminary notes Some vegdata functions expect an installation, or more precisely the main directory structure, of the vegeta- tion database program Turboveg for Windows (see 'http://www.synbiosys.alterra.nl/turboveg/' and Hennekens & Schamin´ee (2001). If the package can not find a Turboveg installation it will use the directory within the package installation path. If you want to use function taxval for taxonomic harmonization you will need to have GermanSL or an equally structured reference list. If you do not specify any, the most recent version of GermanSL will be used and if it can not be found within the specified path, it will be downloaded from http://geobot.botanik.uni-greifswald.de/reflist. Turboveg uses dBase database format for storage. The package tries to deal with the limitations of that format but it is essential, that you use "Database -> Reindex" in Turboveg every time you delete something in your Turboveg database. Otherwise it will not be deleted immediately in the dBase file, instead it is only marked for deletion, i.e. it is still there when you access this file with R and will not be recognized as deleted until you reindex your Turboveg database. 2 Provided functionality 2.1 Database access At the moment vegdata provides direct access to two different vegetation database formats: Turboveg is a desktop program, written in VisualBasic.

  • Central European Vegetation
    Plant Formations in the Central European BioProvince Peter Martin Rhind Central European Beech Woodlands Beech (Fagus sylvatica) woods form the natural climax over much of Central Europe where the soils are relatively dry and can extend well into the uplands in the more southern zones. In the north, however, around Sweden it is confined to the lowlands. Beech woodlands are often open with a poorly developed shrub layer, Characteristic ground layer species may include various helleborines such as Cephalanthera damasonium, C. longifolia and C. rubra and sedges such as Carex alba, whilst in others, grasses like Sesleria caerlea or Melica uniflora may predominate, but in some of the more acidic examples, Luzula luzuloides is likely to dominate. There are also a number of endemic ground layer species. For example, in Carpathian beech woods endemics such as Dentaria glandulosa (Brassicaceae), Symphytum cordata (Boraginaceae) and the fern Polystichum braunii (Dryopteridaceae) may be encountered. Fine examples of primeaval beech woods can be found in the limestone Alps of lower Austria including the famous ‘Rothwald’ on the southeastern slopes of Dürrentein near Lunz. These range in altitude from about 940-1480 m. Here the canopy is dominated by Fagus sylvatica together with Acer pseudoplatanus, Picea abies, Ulmus glabra, and on the more acidic soils by Abies alba. Typical shrubs include Daphne mezereum, Lonicera alpigena and Rubus hirtus. At ground level the herb layer is very rich supporting possibly up to a 100 species of vascular plants. Examples include Adenostyles alliariae, Asplenium viridis, Campanula scheuchzeri, Cardamine trifolia, Cicerbita alpina, Denteria enneaphyllos, Euphorbia amygdaloides, Galium austriacum, Homogyne alpina, Lycopodium annotinum, Mycelis muralis, Paris quadrifolia, Phyteuma spicata, Prenanthes purpurea, Senecio fuchsii, Valeriana tripteris, Veratrum album and the central European endemic Helliborus niger (Ranunculaceae).

METHODS: The constituents were isolated with silica gel, ODS column chromatography and semi-preparative HPLC, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of physical characteristics and spectral data. RESULTS: Eight compounds were obtained, and their structures were identified as 3β-ethoxytanapartholide (1), (4S*, 5S*)-dihydro-5-[(1R*, 2S*)-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-oxo-3-cyclopenten-1-yl]-3-methylene-4-(3-oxobutyl)- 2(3H)-furanone (2), ligucyperonol (3), cyperusol C (4), santamarin (5), 1α, 2α, 3α, 4α, 10α -pentahydroxyguaia-11(13)-ene-12, 6α-olide (6), balanophonin (7), methyl 3-(2’-hydroxy-4’-methoxyphenyl) propanoate (8). CONCLUSION: Compound 1 was a new artifact, 4 and 8 were isolated from the genus Artemisia for the first time, and compounds 2–3, 5–7 were isolated from this plant for the first time.
