Some considerations and thoughts on the pragmatic classification of apomictic Rubus taxa : dedicated to Professor Dr. Dr. H. E. Weber on the occasion of his 65th birthday
No full textAusgehend von seinem Studium der Gattung Rubus in der Tschechischen Republik beschreibt der Autor die Klassifikation von Brombeeren (Subgenus Rubus) in Europa, ihre Geschichte, den gegenwärtigen Kenntnisstand sowie aktuelle Probleme. Der Autor zählt sich zu den Anhängern der "Weberschen Batologie", welcher die Fortschritte der vergangenen 25 Jahre in der Rubus-Taxonomie in Europa zu verdanken sind. Es wird akzeptiert, daß nicht jede Brombeerpflanze dem System eingeordnet werden kann. Die Gründe für die taxonomischen Probleme liegen in der Natur der Evolutionsprozesse dieser Gruppe: unvollständige Apomixis, häufige Hybridisierung, Aufspaltung der Nachkommenschaft in unterschiedliche Morphotypen, Wiedererlangen der Sexualität, vorübergehende Existenz von Spaltungsprodukten. Die potentielle Arealentwicklung eines neuen Biotyps innerhalb der Gruppe kann folgendermaßen skizziert werden: Einzelpflanze - LOkalsippe - regionale Art - weitverbreitete Art. Zur taxonomischen Bewertung einer Sippe sollte deshalb neben ausreichender morphologischer Charakterisierung vor allem die Arealgröße berücksichtigt werden. Sie ermöglicht die Zuordnung des fraglichen Taxons zu einer der genannten Rangstufen. Aufgrund seiner Erfahrungen aus der Tschechischen Republik schlägt der Autor einige Änderungen der Einstufungskriterien vor. Der Hauptunterschied besteht darin, die Untergrenze für die Einstufung als Regionalart auf 20 km Arealdurchmesser zu senken. Im Unterschied zu anderen Pflanzengruppen gilt bei den apomiktischen Brombeeren, daß weiter verbreitete Sippen größere pflanzengeographische Bedeutung haben als solche mit kleinen Arealen. Auch wenn bei der Neubeschreibung von Rubus-Arten strengere Anforderungen gestellt werden, zeigt sich, daß in der Vergangenheit mehrere gut unterscheidbare Arten vernachlässigt wurden und daß die Artenzahl innerhalb des Subgenus Rubus weiter ansteigt. Der Autor betont die Notwendigkeit des Studiums der Gruppe Glandulosi in Mitteleuropa und weist darauf hin, daß die Kooperation mit Populationsökologen nützlich sei, um die Mengeanteile der taxonomisch nicht klassifizierten Brombeeren im Gelände zu beschreiben.Based on his studies of the genus Rubus in the Czech Republic, the author describes classification of brambles from Rubus subgen. Rubus in Europe, its recent history, present state, and current problems. In general, the author follows the adherents of "Weberian batology" which in the last 25 years has assumed European responsibility for attempting to ciassify that particular genus. The thesis that not every bramble plant can be inciuded in the ciassification is accepted. The objective reasons for taxonomic difficulties within Rubus subgen. Rubus are connected with special features of taxogenesis of its members, especially with incomplete apomixis, frequent hybridization, splitting of the progeny into different morphotypes, resexualization, transitory existence of segregants, etc. The progress of the evolution of a new taxon in the given taxonomic group can be ranked: individual bush - local type - regional species - species with an extensive distribution area. When classifying a taxon, alongside sufficient morphological characteristics,
great emphasis should be put on the distribution area; its extent can render possible the taxon to be accepted into the classification scheme. On the basis of experience gained from the Czech Republic, the author has accepted some modifications of the scale for acceptance of plants as species. The basic difference is in lowering the low limit of the extent of the distribution area for regional species, to be acceptable for their lnclusion to the classification, i.e. to 20 km in diameter. In contrast to taxa of other plant groups, species of apomictic brambles with more extensive distribution areas are phytogeographically more important than those with small distribution areas. In spite of the use of stricter requirements for the description of new species in Rubus, it appears that many (distinct) species have been neglected until now, and that the number of species in Rubus subgen. Rubus is continuously increasing. The author stresses the necessity of studying the group ser. Glandulosi in Central Europe and points out the usefulness of cooperation with population ecologists to describe the quantitative representation of taxonomically unclassified bramble plants in the field

Natural history of Arabidopsis thaliana and oomycete symbioses
No full textMolecular ecology of plant–microbe interactions has immediate significance for filling a gap in knowledge between the laboratory discipline of molecular biology and the largely theoretical discipline of evolutionary ecology. Somewhere in between lies conservation biology, aimed at protection of habitats and the diversity of species housed within them. A seemingly insignificant wildflower called Arabidopsis thaliana has an important contribution to make in this endeavour. It has already transformed botanical research with deepening understanding of molecular processes within the species and across the Plant Kingdom; and has begun to revolutionize plant breeding by providing an invaluable catalogue of gene sequences that can be used to design the most precise molecular markers attainable for marker-assisted selection of valued traits. This review describes how A. thaliana and two of its natural biotrophic parasites could be seminal as a model for exploring the biogeography and molecular ecology of plant–microbe interactions, and specifically, for testing hypotheses proposed from the geographic mosaic theory of co-evolution
D8.1 Requirements specification for data harmonisation and terminology mapping tools
No full textBBMRI-ERIC aims to facilitate the joint establishment and operation of research infrastructures of European interest that will provide access to the collections of partner biobanks and biomolecular resources, their expertise and services on a non-economic basis. The mission of BBMRI-ERIC CS-IT project, which started in January 2016, is to deliver expertise, services, and tools relevant to the pursuance of the tasks and activities of BBMRI-ERIC. The project work is divided into 8 work packages (WPs), with WP8 responsible for providing specifications and tools for facilitating collaboration on Data Harmonization, mainly required by WP1 (Directory service) and WP2 (Sample locator).
The aim of this document is to define initial requirement specifications for common terminologies and reporting data sets to support CS-IT architecture plan (Alexandre et al. 2016), based on input from European biobanks and national nodes. The input was provided mainly through two separate questionnaires, one directed to European Biobanks listed in the BBMRI-ERIC Directory, the other directed to National Node Coordinators. In addition, follow-up questionnaires were sent to selected biobanks from each BBMRI-ERIC member country. The results of these questionnaires were considered together with information from additional sources, such as Sample Finder webinars1, BBMRI-ERIC Use Cases document (Holub et al. 2016) and State of the Art Review of Harmonization Tools (Mate et al. 2016) in order to provide the initial requirement specifications
Vladimír Holub in the Context of Modern Art of 20th Century
No full textThis thesis focuses on the personality of Vladimir Holub (1912-1995), the South Bohemian artist and an unjustly neglected solitaire who, with his contribution to Czech modern art, belongs to an important but so far unmapped chapters of the Czech cultural history. Vladimir Holub is primarily associated with Surrealism. In addition to his artwork and sculptural work is also remarkable his rich correspondence with many leading personalities of national and world art and literature. The thesis focuses at this correspondence, which is stored in the PNP. The thesis is divided into several chapters, in which the author interprets Holub's life based on several key areas, which were essential in his life. The main topics are politics, art (and especially literature) and friends. Their importance will be documented in subsequent correspondence, which brings a cut through Holub's intellectual life as well as his life and work. In the beginning the author captures Holub's detailed biography, which is completed with directily his memories or memories of his closest friends. That demonstrates the artist's unique proof of authenticity. Despite the adversity, at the time of his being, Vladimir Holub is trying to retain his artistic and intellectual identity, which is also analyzed by the author of the thesis
