On the basis of anatomical evidence regarding the role of symplastic and intrusive growths, the long-standing hypothesis that the intrusive growth contributes to the increase of cambium circumference has been falsified. It has been shown with the help of mathematical calculations as well as anatomical observations that only symplastic growth of the initial cells (in circumferential direction) is responsible for the expansion of cambial circumference.</p>","PeriodicalId":22364,"journal":{"name":"The Botanical Review","volume":"29 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138503409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Piper is the one of the most important genera of this family and its species show similar morphology and different biological activities. The literature shows that approximately 54 species of Piper have been described in the State of Paraná. The purpose of this study is to gather key information by means of electronic databases, about the morphoanatomy and biological activities of species of Piper found in the State of Paraná. The results with regard to the morphoanatomy show that, on the whole, the species that have been described possess hypostomatic leaves, non-glandular and glandular trichomes, and calcium oxalate crystals in the leaves and stems. Several biological activities have been reported, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal, digestive, diuretic, insecticidal, leishmanicidal, pesticide and trypanocide.","PeriodicalId":22364,"journal":{"name":"The Botanical Review","volume":"29 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138503408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is unknown how the Rafflesia seed gets into the host and germinates. Multiple locals claim to have successfully grown the holoparasitic flower from seeds resulting in blooms. Using available morpho-histological studies, combined with descriptions from local Rafflesia seed growers, as well as unpublished details of our own work, we filled in the missing details of Rafflesia’s life cycle from seed germination to endophyte inside the host before it transitions to its flowering stage. Post-germination, the Rafflesia endophyte forms a clonal network of vegetative meristematic cells, separated by the dividing host tissue, each meristematic cell cluster eventually developing into the primordial floral bud or protocorm. We propose future work involving mass spectrometry imaging to characterize the metabolites that allow communication between distant endophytic clusters and floral bud induction without destroying the histology of the sample.","PeriodicalId":22364,"journal":{"name":"The Botanical Review","volume":"29 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138503407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Pantepui in the Brazilian Amazon: Vascular Flora of Serra Do Aracá, a Cradle of Diversity, Richness and Endemism","authors":"Rafael Gomes Barbosa-Silva, Marcelo Leandro Bueno, Paulo Henrique Labiak, Marcus Alberto Nadruz Coelho, Gustavo Martinelli, Rafaela Campostrini Forzza","doi":"10.1007/s12229-020-09235-x","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s12229-020-09235-x","url":null,"abstract":"Formed by tall flat-topped mountains known as tepuis, the Pantepui is an important center of vascular plant endemism and diversity in South America. In Brazil, the Pantepui is mostly on the border of Venezuela, and an isolated area, Serra do Aracá, stands out as the tepui southernmost. In this paper we present a floristic survey of the vascular plants that occur on Serra do Aracá, compare the richness to other tepuis, and commented on the conservation of Amazonian “campos rupestres”. Our dataset includes over 1600 records, either collected by us in three field expeditions, or by other botanists. A checklist with 436 species of vascular plants is provided. Our study also shows that among the 34 tepuis of the Pantepui, Serra do Aracá ranks tenth in species richness and has 24 endemic species. Serra do Aracá, like other tepuis, houses representatives of ancestral lineages of vascular plants of South America, showing how important tepuis are as cradles of lineages. Despite its importance for Amazonian biodiversity, Serra do Aracá is one of the natural reserves in the Amazon with the highest number of requests for mining. Formado por altas montanhas de cumes chapados conhecidos como tepuis, o Pantepui é um importante centro de endemismo e diversidade de plantas vasculares na América do Sul. No Brasil, o Pantepui encontra-se principalmente na fronteira com a Venezuela, e uma área isolada, a Serra do Aracá, destaca-se como o mais meridional dos tepuis. Neste trabalho apresentamos um levantamento florístico das plantas vasculares que ocorrem na Serra do Aracá, comparamos a riqueza com outros tepuis, e comentamos sobre a conservação dos campos rupestres amazônicos. Nosso conjunto de dados inclui mais de 1600 registros, coletados por nós em três expedições de campo, ou por outros botânicos. Uma lista de verificação com 436 espécies de plantas vasculares é fornecida. Nosso estudo também mostra que entre os 34 tepuis do Pantepui, a Serra do Aracá ocupa a décima posição em riqueza de espécies e possui 24 espécies endêmicas. A Serra do Aracá, como outros tepuis, abriga representantes de linhagens ancestrais de plantas vasculares da América do Sul, mostrando a importância dos tepuis como berços de linhagens. Apesar de sua importância para a biodiversidade amazônica, a Serra do Aracá está em uma das unidades de conservação estaduais da Amazônia com o maior número de processos para mineração.","PeriodicalId":22364,"journal":{"name":"The Botanical Review","volume":"29 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138503406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
