The number of pollen sacs per anther and their position have traditionally been among the most important systematic characters in the Lauraceae. Opinions differ, however, about the evolutionary direction in these characters. This paper is intended to draw attention to little known morphological features of the stamens, in particular to transitions between disporangiate and tetrasporangiate anthers. In addition, the phylogenetic derivation of the stamen appendages is discussed. It is hypothesized that branched androecial structures may be primitive within the Laurales, if not in the angiosperms as a whole. 相似文献

The phytochemical investigation of the leaves of Siparuna pauciflora yielded three novel sesquiterpenoids: the germacrane sipaucin A, the elemane sipaucin B and sipaucin C, comprising a new type of carbon skeleton. In addition, four known aporphine alkaloids-nor-boldine, boldine, laurotetanine, and N-methyl-laurotetanine-were obtained. The evaluation of the antiplasmodial activity of the isolated compounds against two strains of Plasmodium falciparum (PoW, Dd2) showed a moderate activity of nor-boldine. 相似文献

We present a summary of currently available chromosome information for all seven families in the order Laurales on the basis of original and previously published data and discuss the evolution of chromosomes in this order. Based on a total of 53 genera for which chromosome data were available, basic chromosome numbers appear consistent within families: x = 11 (Calycanthaceae); x = 22 (Atherospermataceae and Siparunaceae); x = 19 (Monimiaceae); and x = 12 and 15 (Lauraceae). The Hernandiaceae have diverse numbers: x = 15 (Gyrocarpoideae) and x = 18 and 20 (Hernandioideae). Karyotype analyses showed that Hennecartia, Kibaropsis, and Matthaea (all Monimiaceae) contained two or three sets of four distinct chromosomes in 38 somatic chromosomes, suggesting that 2n = 38 was derived by aneuploid reduction from 2n = 40, a tetraploid of x = 10. In light of the overall framework of phylogenetic relationships in the Laurales, we show that x = 11 is an archaic base number in the order and is retained in the Calycanthaceae, which are sister to the remainder of the order. Polyploidization appears to have occurred from x = 11 to x = 22 in a common clade of the Siparunaceae, Atherospermataceae, and Gomortegaceae (although 2n = 42 in the Gomortegaceae), and aneuploid reduction from x = 11 to x = 10 occurred in a common clade of the Hernandiaceae, Lauraceae, and Monimiaceae. To understand chromosome evolution in the Lauraceae, however, more studies are needed of genera and species of Cryptocaryeae. 相似文献

Local host plant specialization in an insect herbivore may be caused by numerous factors, including host-specific natural enemy pressures or a local lack of suitable host-plant choices that are available elsewhere in its range. Such local specialization or "ecological monophagy', for whatever reason, may reflect reduced ability to behaviourally accept or physiologically utilize other allopatric hosts that are naturally used elsewhere by the species. We tested this feeding specialization hypothesis using the Tasmanian subspecies of Macleay's swallowtail butterfly, Graphium macleayanum moggana (Papilionidae), which uses only a single host-plant species, Antherosperma moschatum (southern sassafras, of the Monlmiaceae). Further north, this same butterfly species (G. m. macleayanum) uses at least 13 host-plant species from seven genera and four families (Lauraceae, Rutaceae, Winteraceae, and Monlmiaceae). Our larval feeding assays with G. m. moggana from Tasmania showed that certain Magnoliaceae and Lauraceae could support some larval growth to pupation. However, such growth was slower and survival was lower than observed on their normal southern sassafras host (Monimiaceae). We also found that toxicity of particular plant species varied tremendously within plant families (for both the Magnoliceae and the Monlmiaceae). 相似文献

Species within three families of basal angiosperms (Trimeniaceae, Winteraceae, Monimiaceae) illustrate differences and similarities in pollen within a species, between species and between genera. Trimenia papuana (Trimeniaceae) has dimorphic pollen (inaperturate, polyforate), each confined to different individual plants. Other species have either disulculate or polyforate pollen. Evolution seems to be from disulculate to inaperturate to polyforate. Present-day Winteraceae have pollen in permanent tetrads except four species of Zygogynum with monads. Why? Did such monads appear as fossils before tetrads in Winteraceae? Molecular studies of Takhtajania perrieri indicate it is basal but its unique bicarpellate unilocular gynoecium seems derived. Although Hedycarya arborea and Kibaropsis caledonica have near-identical permanent pollen tetrads, many other features are very different. Hedycarya species have permanent tetrads or inaperturate monads with spinulose, `starry' or other sculpturing, and it is suggested this and recent molecular data indicate further studies are needed to determine generic limits. 相似文献

Abstract Chemical similarities among ancient Angiosperms presumably played a role in the ecological and evolutionary diversification of the swallowtail butterflies (Papilionidae). The abilities of neonate larvae of the Citrus swallowtail, Papilio (= Princeps ) aegeus (from Queensland, Australia), to eat, survive and grow on leaves (a choice of young and old) of 34 plant species from families of ancient Angiosperms; 8 Rutaceae, 3 Magnoliaceae, 13 Lauraceae, 3 Monimiaceae, 1 Aristolochiaceae, 2 Apiaceae, 1 Sapotaceae, 1 Winteraceae and 2 Annonaceae were tested. It was apparent that there is genetic variation in populations of Rutaceae-specialised Australian P. aegeus for acceptance, consumption and larval growth, reflecting differential suitability of some native Australian Lauraceae species as food plants (as well as certain Winteraceae, Monimiaceae and non-Australian Magnoliaceae, Lauraceae and Annonaceae). No consumption or survival of P. aegeus was seen on Aristolochia elegans (Aristolochiaceae) or Pouteria australis (Sapotaceae) despite literature records alluding to this possibility. The Rutaceae specialist P. aegeus appears to have the fundamental detoxification capabilities for processing many existing species of the basal Angiosperm families, without having direct ancestors that historically had fed on them. 相似文献
