Anatomical and physiological changes of in vitro-propagated Vriesea imperialis (Bromeliaceae) in the function of sucrose and ventilated containers

Abstract

Under in vitro culture conditions, plants may present physiological and anatomical disorders, which can interfere negatively after ex vitro transfer. The aim of this investigation was to analyze the impacts of natural ventilation and sucrose supply on the anatomy and physiology of Vriesea imperialis. Plants previously grown in vitro were transferred to culture medium containing 0, 15, 30 or 45?g L^?1 sucrose. Three different culture container sealing systems were tested: lids with a green filter (81.35 gas exchanges per day), yellow filter (13.09 gas exchanges per day) or lids with a yellow filter covered with three layers of transparent polyvinylchloride (PVC) film (blocking fluent gas exchange). Sucrose concentrations influenced thickness, lignin and suberin deposition of exodermis cell wall. The modifications verified in leaves, such as higher density of stomata and trichome scales, showed that sucrose can induce osmotic stress in the plants. Photomixotrophic conditions, using containers with intermediate rate of gas exchange (yellow filter) and with 15–30?g L^?1 sucrose, produced an improvement in the growth traits and did not induce anatomical and physiological disturbances.

Epigenetic inheritance and plant evolution

Being sessile organisms, plants show a high degree of developmental plasticity to cope with a constantly changing environment. While plasticity in plants is largely controlled genetically, recent studies have demonstrated the importance of epigenetic mechanisms, especially DNA methylation, for gene regulation and phenotypic plasticity in response to internal and external stimuli. Induced epigenetic changes can be a source of phenotypic variations in natural plant populations that can be inherited by progeny for multiple generations. Whether epigenetic phenotypic changes are advantageous in a given environment, and whether they are subject to natural selection is of great interest, and their roles in adaptation and evolution are an area of active research in plant ecology. This review is focused on the role of heritable epigenetic variation induced by environmental changes, and its potential influence on adaptation and evolution in plants.

The Miocene floras of Iceland and their significance for late Cainozoic North Atlantic biogeography

A large number of plant macrofossils from several Middle to Upper Miocene localities from Iceland have been studied. The fossil material includes four ferns and fern allies, seven conifers, and about 40 species of flowering plants. Betula islandica and Salix gruberi are described as new species. Coniferous twigs previously ascribed to the genus Sequoia are shown to belong to Cryptomeria based on macro‐morphological and epidermal features. Fossil plants from Iceland are compared with coeval fossil taxa from Europe and North America and with living plants. The main finding is that the Miocene flora of Iceland belongs to a widespread Neogene northern hemispheric floral type including plants whose representatives are restricted to East Asia, North America and to western Eurasia at the present time. Previously inferred conspicuous similarities to North American modern equivalents appear to be misleading. The type of vegetation in four plant‐bearing sedimentary formations from the late Mid Miocene to Late Miocene, the 12 Ma Brjánslækur‐Seljá Formation, the 10 Ma Tröllatunga‐Gautshamar Formation, the 9–8 Ma Skarðsströnd‐Mókollsdalur Formation, and the 7–6 Ma Hreðavatn‐Stafholt Formation, corresponds to a humid temperate broadleaved (deciduous)–coniferous mixed forest dominated by Betulaceae, Fagaceae and Acer. Changes in species composition in the sedimentary formations reflect a shift from warm temperate (Cfa climate) to cool temperate (Cfb climate) conditions from the late Mid Miocene to the latest Miocene. This shift was connected to repeated phases of extinction and colonization. Specifically, one set of thermophilic taxa including Magnolia, Liriodendron, Sassafras and Comptonia went extinct between 12 and 10 Ma, and appears to have been replaced by another set of thermophilic taxa in the 10 Ma formation (Juglandaceae aff. Pterocarya/Cyclocarya, Rhododendron ponticum type). The 9–8 and 7–6 Ma formations are characterized by taxa that migrated to Iceland from Europe, such as Fagus gussonii, Betula cristata and Pterocarya fraxinifolia type. Although there is convincing evidence that plants colonized Iceland both from North America and Europe until 12 Ma, migration in the younger formations (9–8, 7–6 Ma) is suggested to have occurred mainly from Europe. © 2005 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2005, 149 , 369–417.
