A revised checklist of Hawaiian mosses
No full textA revised and updated literature-based checklist of Hawaiian mosses is presented. Geographic coverage includes the eight main Hawaiian Islands; the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands are excluded. The checklist is alphabetically ordered by scientific names; the family is noted for each genus. Synonyms and misapplied names are cross-referenced to the accepted names. A bibliography of supporting references is included
Lewinskya, a new genus to accommodate the phaneroporous and monoicous taxa of Orthotrichum (Bryophyta, Orthotrichaceae)
No full textThis research was supported by the Spanish Ministries of Education and Science (CGL2007-61389/BOS), Science and Innovation (CGL2011–28857/BOS), and Economy and Competitiveness (CGL2013–43246–P). Support to BG was provided by NSF grants DEB-1146295 & 1240045.Molecular analyses have consistently evidenced the phylogenetic heterogeneity of Orthotrichum Hedw., and suggested the need to segregate the species with superficial stomata in a separate genus. A recent proposal has been made to accommodate the monoicous species with such stomata in the genus Dorcadion Adans. ex Lindb., which is, however, an illegitimate name according to the current Code of nomenclature of algae, fungi and plants. Consequently a new name is required, and the generic name Lewinskya F.Lara, Garilleti & Goffinet is proposed. New combinations are made for all the species included in the new genus. Given the long history of the genus Orthotrichum and the similarities between this genus and Lewinskya, the morphological and geographic circumscriptions of both genera are provided to define them accurately. The taxa remaining in Orthotrichum s.str. are also listedMinisterio de Educación y Ciencia (España)Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (España)Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (España)National Science FoundationDepto. de Biodiversidad, Ecología y EvoluciónFac. de Ciencias BiológicasTRUEpu

Variation in performance of beech saplings of 7 European provenances under shade and full light conditions
No full textThe use of beech seedlings from South-East European and North-West (NW) provenances for underplanting in coniferous forests in North-West Europe was investigated by means of experimental shading. The effects of this treatment on survival, morphology, phenology, physiology and growth were analysed by applying an individual plant growth model integrating these aspects. It was concluded that plant performance under full-light conditions are representative of shaded conditions, so good performing provenances can be selected in a field situation. It was further concluded that good performing South-East European seedlings can be used in North-West European conditions. The modelling results indicated an interesting trade-off between height growth and biomass increase and different provenances show different strategies. This allows selection of suitable provenances for specific situations, e.g. when beech seedlings need to compete with other plant species in the understorey
Construction of an integrated consensus map of the Apple genome based on four mapping populations
No full textAn integrated consensus genetic map for apple was constructed on the basis of segregation data from four genetically connected crosses (C1¿=¿Discovery × TN10-8, C2¿=¿Fiesta × Discovery, C3¿=¿Discovery × Prima, C4¿=¿Durello di Forli × Fiesta) with a total of 676 individuals using CarthaGene® software. First, integrated female¿male maps were built for each population using common female¿male simple sequence repeat markers (SSRs). Then, common SSRs over populations were used for the consensus map integration. The integrated consensus map consists of 1,046 markers, of which 159 are SSR markers, distributed over 17 linkage groups reflecting the basic chromosome number of apple. The total length of the integrated consensus map was 1,032 cM with a mean distance between adjacent loci of 1.1 cM. Markers were proportionally distributed over the 17 linkage groups (¿ 2¿=¿16.53, df¿=¿16, p¿=¿0.41). A non-uniform marker distribution was observed within all of the linkage groups (LGs). Clustering of markers at the same position (within a 1-cM window) was observed throughout LGs and consisted predominantly of only two to three linked markers. The four integrated female¿male maps showed a very good colinearity in marker order for their common markers, except for only two (CH01h01, CH05g03) and three (CH05a02z, NZ02b01, Lap-1) markers on LG17 and LG15, respectively. This integrated consensus map provides a framework for performing quantitative trait locus (QTL) detection in a multi-population design and evaluating the genetic background effect on QTL expression

A noteworthy disjunction of the epiphytic moss Lewinskya graphiomitria
No full textLewinskya graphiomitria (Müll. Hal. ex Beckett) F. Lara, Garilleti & Goffinet,
hitherto considered a New Zealand endemic species, has recently been repeatedly
found at different localities in China, thereby representing an intriguing example
of a remote intercontinental disjunction among the bryophytes. Herein, the
current distribution of this species is reviewed and mapped and its disjunct
occurrence in the two widely separated areas is discussed. Maps showing the
quantification of extrapolated projection areas for L. graphiomitria are also
presented. A possible way of its migration from New Zealand to Asia or vice
versa is explained
Regulation of the early development of the nervous system by growth factors
No full textThe nervous system of vertebrates begins as a thickening of the dorsal ectoderm early in embryogenesis which subsequently involutes to form the neural tube consisting of a single layer of epithelium (neuroepithelium); from this develops the entire central nervous sytem (CNS). Another population of cells bud off from the dorsal portion of the tube just prior to closure, the neural crest; these cells give rise to all the cells of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), and to many structures in the facial and branchial regions of the developing embryo
