Plant community distribution and variation along the Awash river corridor in the main Ethiopian rift
The vegetation along the Awash River (1200-km long) in the main Ethiopian Rift, and its relationship with environmental factors was studied. Seven plant communities were described from the study area: (1) Acacia nilotica subsp . leiocarpa. – Carissa edulis type; (2) Acacia robusta subsp . usambarensis – Acokanthera schimperi type; (3) Celtis africana – Mimusops laurifolia type; (4) Acacia senegal – Acacia mellifera – Dobera glabra type; (5) Acacia nilotica subsp. indica – Ficus capreaefolia type; (6) Lannea schimperi – Glycine wightii type; and (7) Tamarix nilotica – Acacia hocki community type. It has been shown that the plant communities along the river follow an altitudinal gradient. The vegetation of the Awash River is mainly the result of the interactions between edaphic factors, the hydrology, altitude, slope and climate. 相似文献

PANGUA, E., PRADA, C, PAJARON, S. & SALVO, E., 1992. A new Aspleniutn hybrid from Valencia (Spain) related to A. majoricum Litard . A new diploid Asplenium hybrid, found in the Iberian Peninsula (Valencia, Benifairo de Valldigna), is described and the name Asplenium x protomajoricum proposed. The plants exhibit c. 72I at meiosis. The cytology and morphology of the hybrid and its occurrence between the assumed parentals suggest that it originated from a cross between A. fontanum and A. petrarchae subsp. bivalens. The occurrence of A. petrarchae subsp. bivalens in eastern Spain is confirmed cytologically. The occurrence of A. majoricum on the mainland is also discussed. 相似文献

Finger millet (Eleusine corocana subsp. coracana), an important cereal in East Africa and India, is a tetraploid species with unknown genomic components. A recent cytogenetic study confirmed the direct origin of this millet from the tetraploid E. coracana subsp. africana but questioned Eleusine indica as a genomic donor. Chloroplast (ct) DNA sequence analysis using restriction fragment pattern was used to examine the phylogenetic relationships between E. coracana subsp. coracana (domesticated finger millet), E. coracana subspecies africana (wild finger millet), and E. indica. Eleusine tristachya was included since it is the only other annual diploid species in the genus with a basic chromosome number of x = 9 like finger millet. Eight of the ten restriction endonucleases used had 16 to over 30 restriction sites per genome and were informative. E. coracana subsp. coracana and subsp. africana and E. indica were identical in all the restriction sites surveyed, while the ct genome of E. tristachya differed consistently by at least one mutational event for each restriction enzyme surveyed. This random survey of the ct genomes of these species points out E. indica as one of the genome donors (maternal genome donor) of domesticated finger millet contrary to a previous cytogenetic study. The data also substantiate E. coracana subsp. africana as the progenitor of domesticated finger millet. The disparity between the cytogenetic and the molecular approaches is discussed in light of the problems associated with chromosome pairing and polyploidy. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The historical influence of gene flow and genetic drift after the last glacial phase of the Quaternary Period is reflected in current levels of genetic diversity and population structure of plant species. Moreover, hybridization after secondary contact might also affect population genetic diversity and structure. An assessment was made of the genetic variation and hybrid zone structure in Iberian populations of the Mediterranean Phlomis lychnitis and P. crinita, for which phylogenetic relationships are controversial, and hybridization and introgression are common. METHODS: Allozyme variation at 13 loci was analysed in 1723 individual plants sampled from 35 natural locations of P. lychnitis, P. crinita subsp. malacitana and P. crinita subsp. crinita in southern and eastern Spain. Standard genetic diversity parameters were calculated and patterns of genetic structure in each taxon were tested to fit the equilibrium between gene flow and genetic drift. Individual multilocus genotypes were subjected to Bayesian clustering analysis to estimate hybridization and introgression rates for both geographic regions. KEY RESULTS: Contrasting patterns in the distribution of genetic variation among the three taxa were found. Phlomis lychnitis showed no significant inbreeding, low genetic differentiation among populations and no evidence of isolation by distance. Phlomis crinita subsp. malacitana and P. crinita subsp. crinita showed high levels of genetic structure consistent with a pattern of gene flow-drift equilibrium. Higher instances of hybridization and introgression were detected in locations from southern Spain compared with locations from eastern Spain, matching unimodal and bimodal hybrid zones, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: High instances of historical gene flow, range expansion and altitudinal movement during the Quaternary Period, and lineage sorting can explain the diversity of patterns observed. The results suggest that P. lychnitis is the most differentiated lineage in the group; however, the relationship between the three taxa remains unclear. 相似文献

Analysis of chromosomal and organellar DNA of somatic hybrids between Triticum aestiuvm and Haynaldia villosa Schur 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Intergeneric somatic hybridization between wheat (cv. Jinan 177) protoplasts that have 24-28 chromosomes and Haynaldia villosa protoplasts containing 11-14 chromosomes was carried out by the polyethylene glycol (PEG) method. A high frequency of hybrid calli and plants were obtained from the fusion products, as revealed by cytological and biochemical techniques and by PCR analysis of 5S rDNA spacer sequences. GISH (genomic in situ hybridization) analysis confirmed the presence of chromosomes from both parents in the hybrid clones and the common occurrence of translocations between them. The RFLP analysis of the organellar DNA using mitochondrion- and chloroplast-specific probes revealed that mitochondria from both parents existed in the cells of hybrid calli and their recombination, whereas chloroplasts segregated and recombined randomly. The gross morphology of hybrid plants resembled that of wheat, but the gross morphology of their ovaries and anthers were intermediate between those of the two parents. The relationship between hybrid plant regeneration and the balance of genetic materials in hybrid clones is discussed. 相似文献

The composition of the essential oils of four populations of Thymus lotocephalus G. López and R. Morales and one population of T.xmourae Paiva and Salgueiro, two endemic taxa from Portugal, was investigated mainly by GC and GC-MS. Txmourae is a natural hybrid between T. lotocephalus and T. mastichina (L.) L. subsp. donyanae R. Morales, which essential oil was analysed for the first time. In its oil, it was possible to find compounds of both parents, which could enable us to confirm its intermediate status between those two taxa. 1,8-Cineole and borneol were the main constituents in the essential oil of T.xmourae, whereas linalool, geranyl acetate and 1,8-cineol were the major ones in T. lotocephalus. Intermedeol was also an important constituent in the oils of both taxa. Nevertheless, the volatile oils of the four populations investigated of T. lotocephalus showed important differences among the main constituents. In order to study their infraspecific variability, the results obtained in the analysis of individual plants were submitted to a Principal Component and Chemometric Cluster Analyses. Five types of essential oils were found: linalool, 1,8-cineole, linalool/1,8-cineole, linalyl acetate/linalool and geranyl acetate. 相似文献

The frond-feeding weevil, Stenopelmus rufinasus Gyllenhal, was imported into quarantine for testing as a potential natural enemy for the invasive fern Azolla filiculoides Lamarck in South Africa. Adult S. rufinasus lived for approximately 55 days during which the females produced on average 325 offspring. The developmental period for the immature stages (egg, three larval instars and pupation) was about 20 days indicating the potential for several overlapping generations per year. Both the adults and the larvae caused severe damage to A. filiculoides in the laboratory. Host specificity of this insect was determined by adult no-choice oviposition and larval starvation tests on 31 plant species in 19 families. Adult feeding, oviposition and larval development was only recorded on the Azolla species tested (A. filiculoides, A. pinnata subsp. poss. asiatica R.K.M. Saunders and K. Fowler, A. pinnata subsp. africana (Desv.) R.K.M. Saunders and K. Fowler and A. nilotica De Caisne Ex Mett.). A. filiculoides proved to be significantly the most suitable host for the weevil. The low adult emergence from A. nilotica and A. pinnata subsp. africana would most probably prevent the weevil from establishing on them in the field. A. pinnata subsp. poss. asiatica which supported greater development, is thought to be introduced and has a weedy phenology in South Africa and is thus of low conservation value. Therefore, any damage inflicted on this plant in the field may be an acceptable trade-off for the predicted impact of S. rufinasus on the aggressive exotic weed, A. filiculoides. 相似文献

Two chromosome numbers n=54, n=55 were found inBolboschoenus plants studied from Central Europe (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland) and coastal regions of Europe (the Netherlands, Sweden). The number n=55 is typical forB. maritimus subsp.maritimus with narrow fruits and mostly also forB. maritimus subsp.compactus; the number n=54 characterizesB. planiculmis auct. The morphological type ofB. maritimus subsp.maritimus with wide fruits represents a stable taxon occurring in freshwater habitats throughout Europe. Its variation in chromosome numbers (both n=54, n=55) indicates a possible hybrid origin, probably resulting from hybridization betweenB. maritimus subsp.maritimus with narrow fruits andB. planiculmis auct. Spontaneous hybridization betweenBolboschoenus taxa in the regions with mixed populations may explain the origin of the intermediate morphological and anatomical characters of plants from some localities and the deviations in chromosome numbers. 相似文献

The genus Edraianthus A.DC. has a center of distribution in the Balkans and it is one of the most prominent groups of endemic plants in this region. During our recent fieldtrip to Mt. Lov?en (Montenegro), putative hybrid individuals were encountered, morphologically intermediate between two sympatric taxa, E. tenuifolius (E. sect. Edraianthus) and E. wettsteinii subsp. lovcenicus (E. sect. Uniflori). Multivariate morphometric and molecular analyses were carried out to investigate the occurrence of hybridization between these two species. As a result, a new nothospecies is described here, Edraianthus × lakusicii V. Stevanovi? & D. Laku?i?, a natural hybrid between E. tenuifolius and E. wettsteinii subsp. lovcenicus. At present, this hybrid is known only from the single locality of Mt. Lov?en. Its population size is estimated to be <50 mature individuals and the estimated “area of occupancy” is smaller than 1 km2. 相似文献

Larvicidal activity of Acacia nilotica extracts and isolation of D-pinitol--a bioactive carbohydrate
Chaubal R Pawar PV Hebbalkar GD Tungikar VB Puranik VG Deshpande VH Deshpande NR 《化学与生物多样性》2005,2(5):684-688
A low-molecular-weight, sugar-like compound other than glucose, fructose, sucrose, or myo-inositol showing lipophilic nature was isolated from the EtOH extract of Acacia nilotica. The structure of the compound was determined by spectral methods. This alicyclic polyalcohol was found to be D-pinitol (= 3-O-methyl-D-chiro-inositol; 1). The configuration of the compound was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The compound 1 is known from Soybean, Australian mangroves, Fagonia indica, Arachis hypogaea, etc., but we have isolated this compound for the first time from the aerial parts of A. nilotica. Very few references have been cited for compound 1 for its entomological activity, and there are no reports on mosquitoes. Therefore, the crude extracts of A. nilotica were tested for its biological activity against mosquito larvae. Acetone extract at 500-ppm concentration showed chronic toxicity against Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus IVth instar mosquito larvae. Such a biological activity has been observed for the first time for this plant. This study could be a stepping stone to a solution for destroying larval species as well as consumption of such a widely grown, problem weed, A. nilotica. This larvicidal agent, since it is derived from plant, is eco-friendly, cost effective, non-hazardous to non-target organisms and would be safe unlike commercially available insecticides. 相似文献

An experimental crossing program was carried out in order to test the hypothesis thatArmeria villosa subsp.carratracensis, a serpentine endemic from Southern Spain, is of hybrid origin. Fruit-set and mainly pollen stainability data in artificial hybrids demonstrate that internal interspecific barriers are weak. Two generations of backcrossing with the two putative parents —A. colorata andA. villosa subsp.longiaristata— can restore pollen stainability to an average of 83.2 and 68.7, respectively. A morphometric analysis of 148 specimens belonging to parental species, different artificial hybrid generations and wild putative hybrid race shows that (1) morphological characters have a strong genetic basis and thus are good markers in identifying hybrids and introgression inArmeria; (2) artificial backcrossing produces in morphometrical characters a variation which conforms in both trend and magnitude to what is commonly attributed in the wild to introgression; (3) the position of the putative hybrid race is intermediate between the two parental species used in the program. These results are in accordance with the hypothesis of hybrid origin ofA. villosa subsp.carratracensis.

Lamiastrum (Lamium) galeobdolon occurs in Europe with the two diploid taxa subsp. galeobdolon and subsp. flavidum and with one tetraploid taxon, subsp, montanum. The latter is supposed to have had an allopolyploid origin. Chromosome counts demonstrated that subsp, montanum is by far the most common taxon in the Netherlands. Leaves of many plants of several countries of Europe were investigated for aucubin-like glycosides. Subspecies galeobdolon contains harpagide, acetylharpagide and an unknown aucubinoid constituent. Many plants of subsp, montanum contained galiridoside in addition. Galiridoside is also present in small amounts in subsp, flavidum; in this taxon, however, the unknown compound seems to be lacking. It seems likely, in the light of leaf aucubinoids, that subsp, montanum is of allopolyploid origin with the two diploid taxa as parents. The distribution and systematic meaning of iridoid constituents in Labiatae is discussed. Lamiastrum differs from Lamium by accumulating predominantly aucubin-like glycosides of the C-9-aglycon group. 相似文献

Viola jaubertiana Marès & Vigin. is a narrow endemic violet of the Balearic Islands, restricted to small, fragmented, and scattered populations living in inaccessible rocky places and calcareous overhangs. V. jaubertiana is entirely glabrous and morphologically very uniform. However, several authors have reported hairy individuals collected at the type locality, suggesting that these rupicolous, pubescent plants are putative hybrids with V. alba Bess. subsp. dehnhardtii (Ten.) W. Becker, a woodland violet growing in the area. Ribosomal ITS sequences of the putative hybrids analysed showed additive species-specific sites of V. alba subsp. dehnhardtii and V. jaubertiana, strongly supporting its hybrid origin from these progenitors. CpDNA sequences of all putative hybrids were uniform, and identical to those present in V. jaubertiana accessions. This suggests that the gene flow between V. alba subsp. dehnhardtii and V. jaubertiana is unidirectional and identifies the endemic V. jaubertiana as the unique ovule donor. The additivity of the ITS sequences, together with the pollen and ovule sterility, suggests that the sampled individuals are primary F1 hybrids, whereas no trace of introgressive hybridization or hybrid zone has been evidenced by the nuclear and plastid markers used. Judging from herbarium sheets, hybridization between V. alba subsp. dehnhardtii and V. jaubertiana is recurrent and dates back from the XIXth century. Hybrids between these species are not linked to disturbed environments. In fact, they have been always reported in rupicolous habitats, where the maternal species is restricted. 相似文献

Effect of tree species and crown pruning on root length and soil water content in semi-arid agroforestry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Soil cores were taken to estimate root length prior to transplanting and after 60 days growth of a dry season sorghum crop in an agroforestry experiment in a semi-arid region of north-east Nigeria. The experiment compared sorghum grown alone and with two tree species (Acacia nilotica subsp adstringens and Prosopis juliflora) and one management treatment (pruning of tree crowns). Data on soil water content were collected from 6 days before and 20, 60 and 110 days after sorghum transplanting. The main findings were: (i) Per unit root length, A. nilotica had a more negative effect on sorghum above and below ground than P. juliflora. This appeared to be correlated with greater rates of water extraction from layers of soil shared with crop roots; (ii) Crown pruning substantially reduced the competitive effect of P. juliflora on crop yield but did not affect the impact of A. nilotica on intercropped sorghum. Since the impact of pruning on tree-crop competition varies with species, tree species selection and management will be a key factor in determining the feasibility of dryland agroforestry systems. 相似文献
