The scent samples were obtained by dynamic headspace, in situ in French Guiana, or from plants in the living aroid collection at the Botanical Garden of the University of Brasilia. Overall, we identified 43 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) belonging to the compound classes of monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, irregular terpenes, benzenoids, aliphatics, jasmone derivatives, and nitrogen-containing compounds. Five of these floral VOCs are new reports for Philodendron. Interestingly, the floral blends in the investigated species were comprised of 3–22 VOCs; but when considering only major VOCs (≥5%), each fragrant blend could be summarized into one up to four constituents. Except for P. acutatum and P. billietiae, whose floral scents were largely dominated (≥93%) by 4-vinylanisole, fragrances of the investigated species were dominated (≥62%) each by a different VOC (i.e. dehydrojasmone, dihydro-β-ionone, (E)-4,8-dimethylnona-1,3,7-trien-5-yl acetate, methyl benzoate, 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene, dihydrobovolide, or (Z)-jasmone). Consequently, all floral scent compositions significantly differed from one other. We compare our results to published data to provide an insight into the floral scent chemistry within the genus Philodendron. We further discuss the diversity of VOCs in cyclocephaline scarab-pollinated aroids.","PeriodicalId":54302,"journal":{"name":"Botany Letters","volume":"170 1","pages":"53 - 64"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45196943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the 1930s, several phenotypically distinct forms were described in this dandelion, such as brown-achened and pinkish-achened. More than 70 years after termination of research of temperate zone rubber-bearing plants we were able to find both forms of this species of dandelion in natural habitat. The species is still poorly studied, and there is no information about the differences in the quality and quantity of rubber between brown-achened and pinkish-achened forms. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to analyze the root morphology and yield, the rubber and inulin content, and to determine the molar mass of rubber in brown-achened and pinkish-achened T. hybernum. These two forms of T. hybernum, as well as T. kok-saghyz Rodin and T. brevicorniculatum Korol., were studied. The results show that the root shape most attractive for domestication is typical of brown-achened T. hybernum. The greatest mass of roots was gained for pinkish-achened T. hybernum. The rubber content was about 6% in T. kok-saghyz, 3% in both forms of T. hybernum, and 1.5% in T. brevicorniculatum per dry root mass. Taraxacum kok-saghyz and pinkish-achened T. hybernum turned out to be the leaders in inulin content. Of all four dandelions, the molar mass of rubber was more than 1 million g/mol only for T. kok-saghyz and pinkish-achened T. hybernum. Pinkish-achened T. hybernum is a good alternative for T. kok-saghyz and can be recommended for domestication and cultivation in the temperate zone.","PeriodicalId":54302,"journal":{"name":"Botany Letters","volume":"170 1","pages":"258 - 268"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46892041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(cattail) is a globally widespread aquatic plant that causes significant impacts as an invasive species; this ability is dependent on its photosynthetic capacity that is related to leaves. Thus, understanding leaf development is essential for interpreting shoot growth and the formation of its photosynthetic area. This study investigates leaf ontogeny in T. domingensis from early stages until complete development of primary tissues. Plants were collected from natural wetlands and cultivated in a greenhouse. Rhizomes were then selected, and leaves were removed to enable the emergence of new shoots. Rhizome fragments containing leaves were collected at 1-day intervals until day 7 and were subjected to routine procedures in plant microtechnique. New leaves emerged from lateral buds located along the rhizome. The anatomy of scale leaves differs from that of photosynthetic leaves since they contain solid inclusions without palisade parenchyma. Leaf primordia arose laterally from the shoot apical meristem, which was organized as a tunica-corpus. Final leaf shape was influenced by different meristematic zones: the leaf apical meristem, the marginal meristem, the rib meristem, and intercalary meristems. Most leaf tissues developed basipetally, except for xylem and phloem. Within seven days following leaf initiation, all primary tissues were developed and morphologically functional. Leaf formation of Typha domingensis is similar to that of other monocot species. Leaves of T. domingensis develop very early, providing fully functional photosynthetic tissues, which may have implications for its invasive capacity.","PeriodicalId":54302,"journal":{"name":"Botany Letters","volume":"170 1","pages":"247 - 257"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49405811","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This plant has a gametophytic chromosome number of n = 13, very regular meiotic behavior and an intermediate percentage of viable pollen compared to other studied natural putative hybrids. The ITS2 sequence data support the parentage of the putative hybrid begonia but sequence comparison shows its ITS2 sequence is more similar to B. micranthera than to B. boliviensis. The molecular marker rbcLa revealed that there are no differences between the sequences for B. boliviensis, B. micranthera and the putative hybrid. Begonia boliviensis × B. micranthera is a diploid plant that, due to its moderately high pollen fertility (43.3%) compared to other natural Begonia hybrids (which are often sterile) and regular meiosis, would likely be able to self-cross or cross with other begonia taxa.","PeriodicalId":54302,"journal":{"name":"Botany Letters","volume":"170 1","pages":"139 - 155"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49167459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
