In order effectively to list and comment on the results of cytological investigations inAster in a companion paper, a scheme of infrageneric classification is presented which utilizes the basic chromosome number as a pivotal diagnostic character. Reasons are stated as to why, with the exception ofUnamia Greene which is transferred toSolidago, and the commonly recognized generaLeucelene Greene,Machaeranthera Nees andXylorhiza Nutt., none of the segregate genera previously proposed or recorded in the literature is upheld. Instead, these taxa are being given subgeneric or sectional rank. Two additional subgenera are established to accommodate the species groups traditionally placed in “Aster proper,” which are characterized by having basic chromosome numbers ofx = 5 andx = 8, respectively. Altogether ten subgenera of the genusAster, five of them subdivided further into a total of 24 sections, are recognized as having representative species in the New World. All basionyms and type species are listed, and a number of new combinations and status changes are validated in accordance with the International Rules of Botanical Nomenclature. Where known (from literature and personal research), chromosome numbers are recorded for the species. 相似文献

Edward Sanford Burgess is best remembered for his taxonomic works on the Biotian asters. In 1928 hisAster herbarium was bequeathed to the New York Botanical Garden. Burgess described 124 taxa ofAster, for 90 of which he failed to designate a type. A list of the BurgessAster types deposited at NY is presented, including 57 lectotypic designations. 相似文献

Up-to-date results of taxonomic and phytogeographic studies ofOenothera subsect.Oenothera in the eastern part of the Czech Republic (Moravia and Silesia) are presented. A new hybridogenous species,Oe. moravica Jehlík etRostański (=Oe. fallax × Oe. victorini), is described from S Moravia. Several taxa and hybrids are reported for the first time for the Czech Republic:Oe. victorini Gates etCatcheside (=Oe. rostanskii Jehlík),Oe. × wienii Renner exRostański,Oe. acutifolia × Oe. victorini. Other taxa are recorded from the eastern part of the Czech Republic for the first time:Oe. acutifolia Rostański,Oe. hoelscheri Renner exRostański,Oe. parviflora L.,Oe. subterminalis Gates. The taxonomy ofOe. pycnocarpa Atkinson etBartlett is discussed. A survey of species and hybrids ofOenothera subsect.Oenothera in the Czech Republic is added. 相似文献

A summation of both previously reported and original data on chromosome numbers is presented for species ofHeterotheca sens. lat. Chromosome numbers are listed for 24 taxa, including 20 different species. Chromosome numbers for the genus aren = 4, 5, 9, 12, and 18. The most common and possibly basic number for the genus isn = 9, with then = 18 taxa considered to be tetraploids, and those withn = 4 and 5 as probable aneuploid derivatives ; alternativelyn = 4 and 5 could be considered the basic numbers withn = 9 the result of polyploidy. Several nomenclatural changes have been made including the following new combinations:Heterotheca bolanderi (Gray) Harms,H. fastigiata (Greene) Harms, andH. villosa var.hispida (Hook.) Harms. 相似文献

Ionactis caelestis Leary & Nesom is a new species known from a single population that occurs on the Aztec Sandstone near Bridge Mountain in the Spring Mountains of Clark County, Nevada. It is placed in the genus Ionactis (=Aster subg. Ianthe) on the basis of its crowded, multicipital crown, lack of persistent basal leaves and presence of densely arranged cauline ones, strongly carinate phyllaries, blue rays, disc style branches with linear-lanceolate appendages, asymmetric carpopodia, double pappus, and chromosome number of 2n = 9 II. A key to the four species of the genus emphasizes the distinction of the new species in its taproot, the abundant, large, glandular trichomes on its stems and leaves, and disc flowers with sterile ovaries. Ionactis is more similar to the goldenaster (Heterotheca) lineage than to Aster, with which it has been allied formerly. The core of the goldenaster genera differ from Ionactis primarily in their yellow-rayed heads, the crystal complement within cells of their disc corollas, and their primarily multinerved achenes. 相似文献

The structure of the pachytene chromosomes ofSolanum surettense Burm. f. (=S. xanthocarpum Schrad. & Wendl.) have been studied in detail. Morphological data on the total lengths, arm ratios and the extents of differentiation into heterochromatic and euchromatic regions on each of the arms of the twelve chromosomes constituting the haploid set for the species, have been presented. It is seen that identification of the individual members of the chromosome complement becomes possible only when the pattern of differentiation are read together with their total lengths and arm ratios. A comparison of the pachytene chromosomes ofS. surettense with those ofS. torvum, another member of the spinous group of nontuberous Solanums, has shown that no two chromosomes of these species have common morphological features, and that the two species are cytologically as distinct as they are on taxonomic criteria. 相似文献

Pandanus is well represented in Papua New Guinea with over 66 species growing from sea level to 3,000 m. The territory of the Wopkaimin, who live at the headwaters of the Ok Tedi in the Star and Hindenburg Mountains, is particularly rich in wild and domesticated species ofPandanus. Detailed analysis of the species in classification, ecology, subsistence, ritual and material culture not only establishesPandanus as a locally significant plant resource but also contributes to the comparative understanding of ethnobiological systems. A close correspondence with botanical taxa of generic and specific rank and an absence of the most inclusive taxon term for plant are 2 cross-culturally important findings substantiated in WopkaiminPandanus taxonomy. 相似文献

Traditional treatments of Aster were found unsatisfactory in predicting cytological and morphological characteristics of members of various subgenera, sections and subsections of different authors. A realignment of species into these infrageneric categories is presented and is based on sets of shared morphological characteristics of roots or rhizomes, leaves, and phyllaries. Eight subgenera are recognised in Aster. Subgenus Aster is divided into five sections on morphological characteristics: three have X = 9, one has X = 8 and one has X = 7. Subgenus Aster section Dumosi has been redefined and contains all the X = 8 species. Ten X = 5 species and one X = 4 species previously classified in up to six sections of subgenus Aster were found to be morphologically and cytologically related to each other, but unrelated to the other species of Aster. These eleven species have been assigned to the genus Lasallea sensu Semple & Brouillet. Lasallea has been divided in sections and subsections with new combinations presented in this paper. 相似文献

Intergeneric hybrids ofAster ageratoides subsp.ovatus (2n=36)×Kalimeris pinnatifida (2n=18) were produced artificially. The chromosomes of the hybrid were found to be 2n=27, and to consist of 9 large chromosomes
and 18 small chromosomes. In meiosis of the PMCs of the hybrid, a chromosome configuration of 9II+9I was regularly observed. While all the univalents were large, and all the bivalents were comparatively small. The large and
small chromosomes ofA. ageratoides subsp.ovatus were found to be rather distant in homology, and the small chromosomes of the subspecies and the chromosomes ofK. pinnatifida were found to have a high degree of homology. The tetraploidovatus was concluded to be an amphidiploid, composed of the large chromosomes ofAster and the small chromosomes ofKalimeris. 相似文献

Data on 3n×2n and 2n×3n crosses as a source of trisomics inPetunia are given. The delayed germination and retarded growth ofPetunia trisomics, in comparison with diploids, is mentioned. The application of recent fluorescence staining techniques to enzymatically macerated roottips made it possible to distinguish the seven chromosome pairs ofPetunia hybrida. With the aid of the standard karyogram, a number of primary trisomics could be identified. The origin of two primary trisomics is discussed. With these trisomics, some genetic factors, placed in linkage groups, have been localized on one of the chromosomes. This first localization concerns the linkage group, containing the geneUn (=Undulata) for flower shape. In a primary trisomic with the undulate flower shape, chromosome V proved to be present in triplicate. From the deviating ratios for the undulata character in crosses with this trisomic, it was concluded that the location of the linkage group containing the geneUn is on chromosome V. 相似文献

Myriophyllum quitense andM. ussuriense are added to the flora of British Columbia, Canada.Myriophyllum quitense has not been previously reported in Canada, and this is the first report ofM. ussuriense for the North American continent. Problems with the identification of these species, and their distributions and habitats are discussed. The somatic chromosome numbers of 2n=42 forM. quitense and 2n=21 forM. ussuriense were found. A key for the identification ofMyriophyllum taxa growing in British Columbia is given. 相似文献

Examination of leaf flavonoids of all taxa ofCoreopsis sectionPalmatae revealed that most members synthesize an array of common flavone (mostly luteolin and apigenin) glycosides. Each diploid species or diploid member of a species is characterized by a particular ensemble of compounds. These taxa includeC. major, C. verticillata, C. pulchra, C. palmata, andC. tripteris. The latter species differs from all other taxa in producing flavonol (kaempferol and quercetin) glycosides and what appear to be 6-oxygenated compounds. Tetraploids ofC. verticillata exhibit the same flavonoids as diploid members of the species, thus flavonoid chemistry supports the hypothesis that they originated from diploids within the species. Certain populations of hexaploid and octoploidC. major are similar chemically to diploids, suggesting they also originated as intraspeciflc polyploids. Other populations of these polyploids exhibit a flavonoid profile which differs from the profile of the diploids, and this profile is nearly identical to the octoploidCoreopsis × delphinifolia. The latter taxon has been viewed by Smith (1976) and Mueller (1974) as an interspecific hybrid betweenC. verticillata andC. major and/orC. tripteris. Species-specific compounds from the former species occur inC. × delphinifolia but no compounds unique to either of the latter two species are discernable. Flavonoid chemistry is not useful in ascertaining whether either or both species have been involved withC. verticillata in producing plants referable toC. × delphinifolia. There is morphological intergradation between octoploidC. major andC. × delphinifolia, and all plants not appearing to be “pure”C. major exhibit a flavonoid chemistry likeC. × delphinifolia. All plants of sectionPalmatae considered to be alloploids (includingC. × delphinifolia) produce the same array of leaf flavonoids, including several “novel” compounds not expressed in the putative parental taxa. Two of the “novel” flavonoids are present in the geographically restricted diploidC. pulchra. The systematic and phylogentic significance of this is not readily apparent. 相似文献

Our study (survey, atlas of 136 microphotographs and 67 drawings) points out the actual chromosome numbers of 82 taxa of the genus Pinguicula L. They were gathered from literature and critically examined. In addition, numerous counts are published for the first time. They represent about 80% of all the taxa known. The basic chromosome numbers are x = 6, 8, 9, 11, and 14; the ploidy levels are 2n (diploid), 4n (tetraploid), 8n (octoploid) and 16n (hexadecaploid). The basic number x = 6 is a one-off, x = 8 and 11 are the most frequent in the genus; x = 14 indicates a hybridogenous differentiation process in the past. The caryological differentiation—chromosome numbers and ploidy level—is discussed with regard to distribution pattern, growth type, and infrageneric classification (at the level of sections). 相似文献

Breeding experiments were carried out inCalendula species. In the annuals, which are selfers, rarely some outcrossing was observed only in the most peripheral flowers. In experimental crosses fruit was produced in all combinations. Fertile F1 and F2 hybrids could be grown from crosses between parents with similar chromosome numbers:C. palaestina ×C. pachysperma and crosses of different morphological forms ofC. arvensis. In crosses of species with different chromosome numbers at least partly fertile F1 hybrids were obtained fromC. tripterocarpa ×C. stellata andC. tripterocarpa ×C. arvensis and crosses of the latter withC. palaestina. Fertile F2 plants were grown from the combination ofC. arvensis ×C. tripterocarpa. Considering this information and previously obtained data, a scheme is proposed for explaining speciation in the genusCalendula. 相似文献

The chromosomes of different strains of the top or tree onion, ofAllium cepa andA. fistulosum, as well as of cloned progenies from reciprocal crosses between these two taxa have been studied by application of Feulgen- or aceto carmine-, Giemsa- and silver staining. It was possible to differentiate between the satellite chromosomes and 2–4 other chromosome pairs ofA. cepa andA. fistulosum. The phylogenetic origin of the top onions [A. ×proliferum (Moench)Schrad.] from hybridization ofA. cepa andA. fistulosum is substantiated, taking into consideration the variability in size and position of satellites and of active NORs. 相似文献
