Ecology of an Improbable Association: The Pseudomyrmecine Plant‐ant Tetraponera tessmanni and the Myrmecophytic Liana Vitex thyrsiflora (Lamiaceae) in Cameroon1

In young individuals of the obligate myrmecophytic liana Vitex thyrsiflora, several species of ants and other arthropods compete for resources offered by the plant. In mature individuals, the only inhabitant is the ant species Tetraponera tessmanni, which is completely restricted to Vitex lianas as its sole host. Established colonies of this ant provide effective defense against herbivores. The association between V. thyrsiflora and T. tessmanni is unusual in two respects. First, the climbing life form is rare among myrmecophytes. Secondly, it is surprising that a pseudomyrmecine should be the obligate associate of a liana. Pseudomyrmecine plant‐ants often prune vegetation contacting their host plant. This behavior functions in part to protect against invasion of the host by ecologically dominant ants. In contrast, T. tessmanni does not prune and is associated with a plant whose success, and thus that of its resident ant colony, depends on contacts with many other plants. Several traits of V. thyrsiflora and T. tessmanni combine to make the colonization of host plants by potential competitors very difficult. These include behavioral and morphological filters restricting entrance into the plant and exploitation of the resources it can supply; plant anatomical organization that enables T. tessmanni workers to carry out all activities, except leaf patrolling, within a single, branched private nesting space within which all food resources offered by the plant are produced; and polygyny, permitting the colony to monopolize a large, rapidly growing and long‐lived territory.     

鄱阳湖沙地沙漠化过程中单叶蔓荆群落结构和功能特征

在鄱阳湖沙地不同沙化程度区开展单叶蔓荆群落组成及其物种多样性变化调查.结果表明:随着沙漠化程度的增加,多年生草本和灌木逐渐减少,物种多样性减少,至重度沙化时,沙地植被明显退化,群落结构趋于简单和不均匀;在不同程度沙化区和植被恢复演替过程中,物种组成结构具有递进性和渐变性;在沙山治理过程中,可进行单叶蔓荆和禾本科植物配植...     

Vitex glabrata R.Br.悬浮培养细胞的生长条件优化及20-羟基蜕皮激素的生产

研究了培养基、植物生长调节素以及接种量对Vitex glabrata R.Br.悬浮培养细胞的生长情况以及对20-羟基蜕皮激素形成的作用。当细胞在添加有2.0mg/L BAP (6-苯甲酸嘌呤)和1.0mg/L 2,4-D的Gamborg's B5培养基中培养时细胞生长和20-羟基蜕皮激素的形成达到了最高水平。当接种量为20％PCV（积压细胞体积）时观察到了20-羟基蜕皮激素的最高产量,大约是1.1mg/(L·d)。实验数据也表明当接种量增加到20％PCV时,产量提高了7倍。

Micropropagation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Vitex agnus-castus</Emphasis>, (Verbenaceae)—a valuable medicinal plant

This study describes in vitro shoot induction and plant regeneration from a mature apical meristem and nodal explants of the endangered medicinal shrub Vitex agnus-castus. Multiple shoots were induced directly from the axis of nodal and apical meristem explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 3% sucrose and different concentrations (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 mg/l) of 6-benzyl aminopurine (BAP) in combination with Kinetin (Kin) and α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), both at 0.1 mg/l. BAP and Kinetin were used as supplements to MS basal medium, either individually or in combination with auxins. The optimal concentration of BAP for inducing bud break was found to be 2.0 mg/l when Kinetin was at 0.1 mg/l. Regeneration frequency was highest for both apical meristem and nodal explants (94.5% and 90.3%, respectively) when explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with BAP (2.0 mg/l) and Kin (0.1 mg/l). A maximum of 7.7 ± 0.4 and 6.7 ± 0.2 shoots were obtained per explant for apical meristem and nodal explants, respectively. Regenerated shoots, transferred to MS medium supplemented with either 1.0 or 1.5 mg/l BAP combined with 0.1 mg/l GA₃, showed maximum elongation of 6.7 ± 0.4 and 6.0 ± 1.3 cm in apical meristem and nodal explants, respectively. In vitro regenerated shoots transferred to half-strength MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/l IBA induced 90.4% of the shoots to form roots after 30–35 d of culture. Up to 80% of the regenerated shoots were successfully established in soil in the greenhouse.     

Ecdysteroids from Vitex species: distribution and compilation of their 13C-NMR spectral data

Iridoids and ecdysteroids are found in some genera of the family Verbenaceae. In such cases, they are used as chemotaxonomic markers for the difficult task of taxonomic identification by using morphological characteristics of plants belonging to this family. The present work describes the distribution of ecdysteroids in plants from the genus Vitex from a review of previous work on seventeen Vitex species. In addition, (13)C-NMR data of the main ecdysteroids found in this genus are described. This study attempted to summarize previous research on ecdysteroids distribution in Vitex species with the addition of (13)C-NMR analysis to further refine the characterization of these compounds in the Verbenaceae family.
