Because of the great diversity of morphological features and lack of molecular phylogeny for the tribe, the classification of its genera has always been controversial. It is probably the same in Arecaceae. Findings: Character optimization was carried out with the Maximum Parsimony method and two different methods of comparative analysis were used: the Concentrated-Change test and the Discrete method. The deposition and assembly of exine, the outer layer of the pollen wall, lead to the formation of patterns on the pollen surface that are species specific, tremendously diverse, and often very beautiful. Pollen grains of 57 species (representing 42 genera) of the Chloridoideae have been investigated using light, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Furthermore, if other plant species that evolve away from obligate entomophily also exhibit less effective pollen dispersal traits (sensu. Premise: The pollen grains ofOttelia alismoides are inaperturate, not omniaperturate, because of the well-developed foot layer. Gard. Pollen is an airborne allergen, which is picked up and carried by the wind. This paper describes the characteristics of the pollen and the receptive surfaces of the stigmas in the three marine angiosperms included in the Hydrocharitaceae. An examination of seasonal environments in the tropics at present and the fossil record of deciduous and wind pollinated angiosperms supports this contention. This new species is similar to Blyxa octandra and Blyxa quadricostata in the dioecious nature, elongation of petals at the anthesis and in the number of stamens, but it shows many variations from the similar species such as purplish leaves, submerged male flowers, globular anther lobes, presence of compound pollen grain, large pollen grains, apetalous female flowers and long tail of the seeds. Kohautia Cham. Genera. Hygroscopic weight gain of pollen grains from Juniperus species Landon D. Bunderson & Estelle Levetin Received: 12 June 2013/Revised: 26 June 2014/Accepted: 27 June 2014/Published online: 10 July 2014 # ISB 2014 Abstract Juniperus pollen is highly allergenic and is pro-duced in large quantities across Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. The pollen grain lacks aperture, and contains many Our resulting neighbor-joining distance tree provides the following insights: (1) none of the previous classification systems Palynological data were found to be relatively congruent with recent molecular phylogenies, while traditional delimitations of infra-generic taxa were somewhat conflicting and did not reflect phylogeny and evolution.     The intine consists, at least in part, of cellulose or hemicellulose. The process of transfer of pollen grains from another to stigematic surface of the. flower the help of water is called: (A) anemophily (B) zoophily (C Tanaka, N., Setoguchi, H. and Murata, J. When the male flower is bound to the united bracts, the sepals accumulate elastic potential energy through the expansion of basal extensor cells. Two distantly related clades correspond to the subgenera Kohautia and Pachystigma Bremek. Chinese Bulletin of Botany, 2002, 19(04): 484-487. Hydrocharitaceae is a flowering plant family including 16 known genera with a total of ca 135 known species (Christenhusz & Byng 2016 ), that including a number of species of aquatic plant, for instance the tape-grasses, the well known Canadian waterweed and frogbit Hydrocharis morsus-ranae. KeywordsAgrimoniinae-Palynology-Phylogeny-Sanguisorbeae-Sanguisorbinae. The pollen grains were prepared for Light Microscopy (LM) according to Erdtman (1952). Small effective pollen loads suggest that pollen competition intensity is low. Detailed floral morphological studies show that the nectar guides in the psychophilous species of Kohautia s.str. Compound pollen may characterize entire species-rich families (e.g. Access scientific knowledge from anywhere. Exine structure and its developmental program in a submerged plant,Ottella alismoides (L.) Per. the sea-grasses of Authors=TSUJI Sei'ichiro. 3. phylogeny. https://www.chinbullbotany.com/EN/, https://www.chinbullbotany.com/EN/Y2002/V19/I04/484. Various trees, grasses and weeds create pollen, which can cause hay fever, irritate your eyes and skin. The tetrad tube substance originates in the tapetal periplasmodium and deposition begins soon after meiosis. The pollen was probably produced by wetland or aquatic plants, adapted to a sudden change in the water regime during the vegetation season. The specialized Illiciaceae and Schisandraceae comprise a clade defined by apomorphic characters including pollen grains with three or six colpate apertures. ... A relationship between abiotic pollination (wind and water) and smooth (or nearly) pollen grains has been proposed in many studies [1,22] but concerning biotic pollination, the results are more controversial. The verrucate protrusions develop into spines during free microspore stage. The general features of pollen morphogenesis in three marine monocotyledons, Thalassia hemprichii, Halophila stipulacea and Thalassodendron ciliatum, are described in this paper. 349 Monad- A pollen grain in the form of a single unit. We demonstrate that traits under sexual selection during pollen pickup vary among pollinators, while natural selection for pollen defense is nil in T. ceratophorum. P. Biju Department of Botany, Government College, Kasaragod, Kerala, ... presence of compound pollen grain, large pollen grains, apetalous female flowers and … Ruppia pollen is adapted for rapid pollen germination, which is likely advantageous in an aquatic habitat. An exine layer is not found in Halophila stipulacea where reniform pollen grains are contained within transparent moniliform tubes. In the current study, pollen grains of 21 taxa from Illiciaceae and Schisandraceae were investigated. This study is designed to test this hypothesis by inferring the accumulation of pollen disparity in Ericaceae, a large eudicot family with recent, ongoing radiations, with focus on three functionally significant pollen characters using a dated phylogeny. analysis based on the sequences of therbcL andmatK. The first branching lineages in tribe Cercideae have an unspecialised pollen type, whereas the more variable and distinct pollen types are found in the more derived lineages, in Schnella, Lasiobema, Phanera and Bauhinia s.str. Two aperture patterns and nine exine patterns are distinguished using SEM and TEM. In order to study the biological feature of a submerged plant, we observed the form and structure of the pollen grain of Hydrilla verticillata of Hydrocharitaceae by optical microscopy and SEM. Annals of the Tsukuba Botanical Garden, 22, 11 –13. pollination mechanisms. 水鳖科 shui bie ke Authors: Qingfeng Wang, Youhao Guo, Robert R. Haynes & C. Barre Hellquist. Epihydrophily is pollina- tion at the water surface (Cox, 1988; Philbrick, 1988, 1991), e.g., Vallisneria (Hydrocharitaceae). The pollen morphology of 11 genera and 11 species of the Hydrocharitaceae and one species of the Najadaceae was studied using scanning and transmission electron microscopies, and the exine structures and sculptures are discussed in relation to pollination mechanisms and the molecular phylogeny. The purpose of this study was to characterize reproductive ecology and postpollination development in water-pollinated Ruppia maritima L. These regions will differ in color from the rest of the grain. Striate exine patterns and prolate shapes characterized the pollen of the Agrimoniinae, The entomophilous genera Egeria, Blyxa, Ottelia, Stratiotes, and Hydrocharis share pollen grains that have projections like spines or bacula. Abstract: Pollen morphology of 15 species in nine genera of Hydrocharitaceae was examined with light microscope (LM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Air bubbles cause the male flower to surface. Pollen morphology of 15 species in nine genera of the Hydrocharitaceae[J]. Hydrocharitaceae . Annals of the Tsukuba Botanical Garden 19:7-12. We currently have 1 digitised slides. -Pollen morphology may be correlated with pollination vectors (Hesse, 2000), in particular aperture and exine ornamentation characteristics are correlated with specific pollinators (Proctor & al., 1996; To document diversity of aquatic plants in Myanmar. Annals of the Tsukuba Botanical Garden 22:143-145. Home; Master Reference Collection ; Hydrocharitaceae; Digitised Reference Slides. Anatomical structures of the achenes suggested relationships with greatest concordance to those in the molecular phylogeny. pages=167-170. In explosive pollination, many structures and mechanisms have evolved to achieve high‐speed stamen movement. Halophila disperses strings of four reniform trinucleate pollen grains contained in a mucilaginous moniliform tube. POLLEN IN HYDROPHILOUS ANGIOSPERMS 381 Halophila decipiens The pollen grains are filiform with a massive stratified intine covered by a thin unstructured and unornamented exine. & Schltdl. It is possible that the evolution of wind pollination in the angiosperms paralleled the evolution of the deciduous habit. Geographic isolation and adaptions may have triggered the evolution of morphological characters. 2. These data, together with palynological data for taxa previously studied, were mapped into recent molecular phylogenetic trees to re-evaluate the existing classification and phylogenetic relationships in the two families. Tanaka, N. 2000. volume=26. Abstract: An exine layer is not found in Halophila stipulacea where reniform pollen grains are contained within transparent moniliform tubes. Acid phosphatase activity is localized beneath the cuticle at the tips of the stigma papillae. SHEN Xian-Sheng　ZHANG Wen-Rui　YANG Jie-Pin. The ancestral flowers of Araceae were pollinated by beetles while ancestral pollination in Arecaceae is equivocal. Spiny pollen has evolved independently in multiple entomophilous lineages. 3. All content in this area was uploaded by Norio Tanaka on Nov 25, 2015, ... For example, pollenkitt, the sticky lipid-based compound that facilitates pollen clumping, is associated with animal pollination, aiding adherence of pollen to pollinators (Pacini and Hesse, 2005;Lin et al., 2013;Amador et al., 2017). Thalassodendron disperses filiform trinucleate pollen grains. The male flower of a submerged plant Hydrilla verticillata is reported to be able to release pollen explosively after leaving from the mother plant for a period of time, but the mechanism of stamen movement and the related functional structure in this species are unclear. Molecular data (atpB‐rbcL, petD, rps16, trnL‐trnF, ETS, ITS) confirm that the genus is biphyletic. Pollination of the genus Hydrilla (Hydrocharitaceae) by waterborne pollen grains: II. Publication of " A Field Guide to Aquatic Plants of Myanmar", National Museum of Nature and Science and Forest Research Institute of Myanmar (Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation) started a new joint research project from 2016 towards, Explore the evolutionary process of the Aristolochia kaempferi group (Aristolochiaceae), Illiciaceae and Schisandraceae, together with other members of Austrobaileyales have been identified as one of the earliest diverging lineages of angiosperms, within the ANITA grade. delimitations have previously hindered our understanding of the similarities, differences, evolution and taxonomic significance of the various pollen structures found within the tribe. Hydrocharitaceae. The pollen grains of the Hydrocharitaceae are spherical, inaperturate, and form monads or tetrads, while those of the Najadaceae are elliptical, inaperturate, and form monads. La famille est cosmopolite, mais principalement tropicale, dans des milieux aquatiques très variés, continentaux ou océaniques. These arise by successive transverse partitioning of an elongate mother cell and the linear unit so formed is maintained throughout pollen development. In nature only the grains in contact with the stigma develop pollen tubes so one rarely sees more than 3 grains in a tetrad germinating. Dispersed pollen grains Wodehouseia spinata Stanley of unknown botanical affinity from the Maastrichtian of the Amur River Region, Far East are studied using transmitted light, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Conclusions: We currently have 1 digitised slides. Family in the Global Pollen Project's Master Reference Collection. No evidence for correlations was found between dimension of pollen disparity and species diversity at either the subfamily or generic level. The pollen in Enhalus acoroides and Thalassia hemprichii is spherical and has an ornamented exine. Pollen characters are most useful at the generic level and, when mapped on to a molecular phylogenetic tree of the tribe, Reference Details: While an infrageneric subdivision into two subgenera is generally accepted, various sectional classifications proposed in subg. It is often considered that smooth pollen grains are associated with abiotic pollination (wind or water) while echinulate or reticulate pollen grains are associated with biotic pollination, particularly entomophily [1. are concordant with a monophyletic Agrimoniinae and a clade comprising Margyricarpus+Acaena+Polylepis+Cliffortia+Sanguisorba in the Sanguisorbinae. To gather more basic information regarding the adaptive evolution of Hydrocharitaceae, we have carried Maximum parsimony analyses suggest a weakly supported basal dichotomy, while Neighbor Net analysis indicates strong support for five distinct lineages. 2. Phylogeny of the family Hydrocharitaceae inferred from rbcL and matK gene sequence data. Aperture Number- An aperture refers to the thinner regions within a pollen grain. The stigmas of the three seagrasses are papillate and of the ‘dry’ type possessing a continuous protein-aceous pellicle subtended by a cuticle. Our results show that there are five ornamental types in once-pinnate maidenhair ferns: psilate, scabrate, granulate, verrucate and tuberculate. The Cercideae is currently the subject of much research. Floral, pollen and seed characters were studied to morphologically characterize Kohautia s.str. developed as an adaptation to their aquatic habitat. characters, test taxonomic and phylogenetic hypotheses among genera, and elucidate pollen character evolution based on a molecular Cite this article: SUN Kun,CHEN Jia-Kuan,ZHANG Zhi-Yun. Premise: The pollen grains ofOttelia alismoides are inaperturate, not omniaperturate, because of the well-developed foot layer. After the male flower is liberated from the mother plant, the stamens unfold rapidly with the sepals under adhesion and transfer the elastic potential energy to the filament in seconds. We analyzed the stamen movements during pollen dispersal process and conducted several controlled experiments to study the process of storage and release of elastic potential energy in explosive pollination. Chinese Bulletin of Botany ›› 2002, Vol. The pollen grains are usually inaperturate, spheroidal to subellipsoidal in shape, but those of Stratiotes aloides and Halophila ovalis are monosulcate. 3. Journal of Plant Research, 110, 329 –337. An exine layer is not found in Halophila stipulacea where reniform pollen grains are contained within transparent moniliform tubes. Halophila stipulacea (Hydrocharitaceae) in the Aegean Sea (Turkey) Berrin Dural1*, Emine ükran Okudan2, Nilsun Demir3, ... pollen grains extend from the hypanthium, which functions as a style, into the ovary, where fertilisation takes place. 4 Pollen grain of Blyxa japonica with spines. We report here molecular phylogenetic analyses based on nuclear and plastid markers (nrITS, matK, trnK, psbJ–petA) that provide a framework for understanding relationships and character evolution within the tribe. The pollen grains are usually inaperturate, spheroidal to subellipsoidal in shape, but those of Stratiotes aloides and Halophila ovalis are monosulcate. Results: The characteristic form of the pollen in this genus is attained during post-meiotic growth and differentiation, as in other genera belonging to the same family. These conditions do not exist in northern temperate forests, or in prairies, or in savannas. 1 Polyad : 14 Tetrad- A group of four united pollen grains. Flowering plants show a high diversity of pollen morphology, assumed to reflect not only variations in the underlying design, but also stress imposed by ecological conditions related to pollen survival and germination. The pattern of the exine sculpture and sporoderm ultrastructure suggests that insects contributed to pollination. Methods: In Thalassia the tapetal periplasmodium is progressively transformed into thecal slime. Previous Articles Copyright © Chinese Bulletin of Botany, All Rights Reserved. the Flora of Myanmar by conducting the field expeditions to unexplored areas in Myanmar such as Tanintharyi (Tenasserim) to make the checklist of the flowering plants, bryophytes, lichens, fungi etc. When bees visit inflorescences of apomictic T. officinale, they pick up pollen with spine-spacing phenotypes above the mean and shifted toward those of sexual T. ceratophorum. No correlation was found in palms. Using the molecular phylogeny to show pollen diversity and distribution, we provide an overview of pollen morphology in the Cercideae. Both the deciduous habit and the physical conditions existing just peripheral to the tropics would favor the evolution of wind pollination. Blyxa kasaragodensis, a new species of Hydrocharitaceae from the ponds in the laterite plateau of Malabar coast, Kerala, India. Among the different types of relationship implying pollen ornamentation that have been suggested, the existence of a link between exine sculpturing and pollinator type has often been proposed and was even evidenced in certain situations (see additional file 1). 0 The anemophilous genus Limnobium has reticulate pollen grains. The anemophilous genus Limnobium has reticulate pollen grains. A tetragonal or rhomboidal tetrad type seems to be most logical for Wodehouseia pollen. The environment of the tropical rain forest is unsuitable for anemophily: (1) species diversity is very high, hence individuals of the same species are apt to be widely spaced; (2) the forest is densely structured, hence wind velocities are low and there are many obstacles to transport; (3) there is no leafless season; (4) rainfall is frequent throughout the year, hence transport will be limited; (5) there are few unambiguous stimuli which can coordinate flowering; (6) potential animal pollinators are abundant. A correlation between ornamentation type and pollination was highlighted in Araceae although the results slightly differ depending on the method and the options chosen for performing the analyses. This overview of pollen structure presents a summary of the distribution of pollen morphological variation, providing data which allows the structural variation in pollen to be compared and contrasted in evolutionary and taxonomic contexts. We tested the statistical significance of an association between pollen ornamentation and pollination system in two families of the monocotyledons, the Araceae and the Arecaceae, taking into account the phylogenetic framework. (1997). In addition to these diploid sporophytic tissues, the anther also contains haploid microspores that fill the pollen sacs and differentiate into pollen grains. Flies picked up larger pollen from flowers than expected at random. The entomophilous genera Egeria, Blyxa, Ottelia, Stratiotes, and Hydrocharis share pollen grains that have projections like spines or bacula. delineate six pollen types. were supported by molecular phylogenetic tree; (2) Najas (Najadaceae), which has never been included in Hydrocharitaceae except The areas that have reduced exine deposition, or lack it completely, are known as pollen apertures, and their patterns are also species specific and highly variable. They ensure that the pollen can be released on the water surface, and thus adapt successfully to the pollen‐epihydrophilous pollination. 1 . Pollen reception, pollen germination, pollen tube growth, and carpel morphology were characterized. 19 ›› Issue (04): 484-487. 9 verhandelingen der koninklijke nederlandse akademie van wetenschappen, afd. Macroscopic analysis of achene morphology often indicated parallel evolution of structures related to certain dispersal mechanisms. In a 3-D pollen morphospace, most major clades appear to occupy distinct neighbouring regions, whereas the subfamily Epacridoideae overlaps extensively with other subfamilies. In other words, the more evolutionary species, will with a more complex spore ornamentation. Pollen picked up by bumblebees exhibited a narrower subset of spine-spacing phenotypes, consistent with stabilizing selection. In order to translate the biphyletic nature of Kohautia into a formal classification, the two subgenera are recognized at generic level. Tanaka, N. 2003. were investigated with scanning and transmission electron microscopies. Four types (I–IV) were observed only in subtribe Sanguisorbinae whereas two types in shape, had operculate or pontoperculate apertures, and had three apertures, except for Margyricarpus (tetraperturate). A substitute name, Cordylostigma Groeninckx & Dessein is proposed for K. subg. except for the microechinate-verrucate pattern and subprolate to spheroidal shapes observed in Hagenia. in the region. Fig. Publish_year=1975. We postulated that relative to sexual congeners, apomictic dandelions undergo relaxed selection on traits associated with male mating success. Abstract: In order to study the biological feature of a submerged plant, we observed the form and structure of the pollen grain of Hydrilla verticillata of Hydrocharitaceae by optical microscopy and SEM. In hybrid zones between apomictic and sexual dandelions, pollen traits place apomictic donors at a dispersal disadvantage, potentially reinforcing reproductive isolation. Hydrophilous plants face unique reproductive challenges, and many have evolved characteristic pollen traits and pollination strategies that may have downstream consequences for pollen performance.     /   (1997). The pollen grains of the Hydrocharitaceae are spherical, inaperturate, and form monads or tetrads, while those of the Najadaceae are elliptical, inaperturate, and form monads. Flowering in Thalassia is coincident with the spring tides and the pollen is released as a mass suspended in a thecal slime which contains approximately 5 per cent by weight carbohydrate, the principal mono-saccharide being mannose. The flange and unevenly thickened endexine could facilitate harmomegathy. Pollen is one of the most common allergens in the United States. The mean adjusted pollen tube growth rate was 551 μm/h. Pollination of the genus Hydrilla (Hydrocharitaceae) by waterborne pollen grains: 2. Palynological data on Illiciaceae and Schisandraceae confirm phylogenetic relationships within these... Pollen morphology and its phylogenetic significance in tribe Sanguisorbeae (Rosaceae), Evolution and diversity of pollen morphology in tribe Cercideae (Leguminosae), Phylogeny of the family Hydrocharitaceae inferred from rbcL and matK gene sequence data, Phylogeny of Najas (Hydrocharitaceae) revisited: Implications for systematics and evolution. The anemophilous genus Limnobium has reticulate pollen grains. Mainly because of this unique floral morphology, Kohautia was considered to be a distinct genus. NOTE- fourth component of grain may be faint, or difficult to locate in a given image. Pachystigma because of the existence of Pachystigma Hochst. Caulinia have been controversial. The process of transfer of pollen grains from another to stigematic surface of the. Adventitive polyembryony occurs in. number=4/6. in the Rubiaceae tribe Vanguerieae. The family includes both fresh water and marine aquatics. This is particularly true in the case of the many different kinds of Outgroup comparison indicated that operculate colpi, three apertures, and polymorphism for striate Bar = 1 mm. Water-pollination (hydrophily) is a rare but important pollination mechanism that has allowed angiosperms to colonize marine and aquatic habitats. Bar = 10 mm. Herbs, annual or perennial, submerged or floating, aquatic, in fresh or brackish water or marine. The ancestral state of spore ornamentation in Adiantum is probably tuberculate, with verrucate ornamentation possibly deriving from tuberculate. Thalassia disperses spherical trinucleate pollen grains. In ripe anthers where the pollen is very tightly packed, the surface of the intine is fissured, the exine lining the fissures (Figure 15 and Text Figure 1 b). However, little is known about reproductive development in the life history stage between pollination and fertilization (the progamic phase) in hydrophilous plants. In only two genera (0.5%), Brasenia (Cabombaceae) and Limnobium (Hydrocharitaceae), is it likely that the evolution from entomophily to anemophily has taken place in the aquatic environment. Furthermore, the distribution of species in present pollen morphospace showed a strong central tendency, with the core compartment containing a large number of species from species-rich genera. Anemophily is very infrequent in the tropical rain forest, becomes more frequent as one moves to more seasonally variable environments, and is frequent in northern temperate forests. The central cytoplasmic part is the source of nuclei responsible for fertilization. In this genus simultaneous cytokinesis generally produces an isobilateral tetrad of microspores, but linear and T-shaped configurations also occur, together with configurations intermediate between isobilateral and T-shaped. The stigma pellicle exhibits cytochemically detectable esterase activity and binds the lectin concanavalin A. Spore morphology is diverse and complex in ferns, thus serving as an important indicator of taxonomy. Although the intricate patterns of exine and apertures have been drawing attention for centuries, it is still not clear how exactly they develop, what genes are involved in their formation, and what purpose they serve. A foot layer is formed by accumulation of lamellated structure. Air bubbles cause the male flower to surface. Pollen grains, the male gametophytes of seed plants, surround themselves with a complex pollen wall for protection from various environmental stresses. Results: These products could be implicated in attachment and recognition of the pollen at the stigma surface. Bar = 10 mm. Electrophoretic analysis of the pollen-free slime shows a single glycoprotein component. Methods: (V–VI) were found only in subtribe Agrimoniinae. Tanaka, N., Setoguchi, H. and Murata, J. Hydrocharitaceae is a plant family that includes a number of species of aquatic plant, ... the inner ones sometimes sterile. 5 Exine structure of E. densa with spine, fine granules (fg), rough granules (rg) and basal layer (bl). Selection for traits such as a long period of stigma receptivity, fast pollen germination, and carpel morphology likely played a larger role in shaping postpollination reproductive development in Ruppia than evolution in pollen tube growth rates. This study analyzes the evolution of spore ornamentation in once-pinnate maidenhair ferns (Adiantum) using scanning electron microscopy and ancestral state reconstruction. in Shaffer-Fehre's (1991) system based on seed coat structures, is an ingroup of Hydrocharitaceae; (3) Limnocharitaceae and A foot layer is formed by accumulation of lamellated structure. Sexual selection may act on exine traits that facilitate male mating success by influencing the transfer of pollen from the anther to the body of the pollinator, while natural selection acts to increase pollen survival.
