Poilane 23682 (L: L.3795101, L.3795102; P: P05545135, P05545136). Notes. 1. Euphorbia bokorensis appears to occur throughout the Central Highlands of Vietnam. It is recorded from Kon Tum - Gia Lai and Langbian plateaus, and its occurence in Dak Lak plateau is highly probable. The findings are in line with the idea of Lim et al. (2021) that the species is widely distributed in the Eastern Indochina. 2. The Vietnamese material allows to describe certain morphological variation of E. bokorensis. The shape of leaf blade varies from oblanceolate to prominently obpandurate. Cyathophylls in some populations are significantly smaller than those in the type material: in Nuraliev, Lyskov NUR 3262, they are 1.5–3 mm long (vs. ca. 4 mm long in the protologue); in the photo record Nuraliev NUR 836a, they are scale-like, hardly exceed the involucre and do not provide showy appearance to the cyathium. Although the cyathophylls are stated to be basally fused in the protologue, they are free from each other in the specimens from Vietnam, and they are also likely to be free in the type material. Short hairs are present in the axils of cyathophylls, and sometimes also on the outer surface of the involucre. Involucre lobes are initially yellowish cream (similar to the glands), but in some cyathia they acquire red tint with age. The gynoecium also becomes reddish after anthesis in some cases. 3. It is evident that the species possesses male cyathia, which develop in the same inflorescences with the hermaphrodite cyathia (Fig. 1B, F, G).As far as the hermaphrodite cyathia of E. bokorensis (Fig. 1D, E) are protogynous (which is typical for the genus: Narbona et al. 2002), the absence of an externally visible pistillate flower at the phase of anthesis of the staminate flowers would indicate that the pistillate flower is non-functional or completely absent in a cyathium. The male cyathia are also visible in Fig. 5 C, D of the protologue (Toyama et al. 2016). The presence of male cyathia in E. bokorensis is consistent with the findings of Narbona et al. (2002) who demonstrated such functional andromonoecy to be common in Euphorbia Linnaeus (1753: 450) and especially in its perennial species. According to our preliminary observations, a vestigial pistillate flower is commonly present in male cyathia of E. bokorensis. 4. Re-examination of the type material allowed to conclude that Toyama et al. (2016) have only examined male cyathia of E. bokorensis. Here, we provide for the first time illustrations (Fig. 1B, C, D, E) and description of a functional (normally developed) pistillate flower of this species. Pistillate flower glabrous, perianthless, green and sometimes becoming reddish with age; pedicel ca. 1 mm long (ovary placed just above the involucre glands or partly hidden in the involucre during anthesis); pedicel apically broadened to form a tiny collar at base of gynoecium; ovary globose, ca. 1 mm long and in diameter, longitudinally slightly 6-ridged, 3-locular; stylar column ca. 0.3–0.5 mm long; styles 3, ca. 0.5–0.8 mm long, bilobed almost to base; each style branch bent on abaxial side (facing the involucre of cyathium), apically bearing nearly globose papillate stigma.Published as part of Nuraliev, Maxim S., Toyama, Hironori, Hu, Chi-Ming, Luo, Shi-Xiao, Lyskov, Dmitry F., Kuznetsov, Andrey N., Kuznetsova, Svetlana P., Quang, Bui Hong, Binh, Tran Duc & Hoan, Duong Thi, 2022, Three new national records from Kon Chu Rang Nature Reserve, Vietnam: Euphorbia bokorensis, Glochidion geoffrayi and Lysimachia nutantiflora, pp. 73-82 in Phytotaxa 574 (1) on pages 75-77, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.574.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/735981

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in rat forebrain that bind ¹⁸F-nifene: relating PET imaging, autoradiography, and behavior
No full textNicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the brain are important for cognitive function; however, their specific role in relevant brain regions remains unclear. In this study, we used the novel compound ¹⁸F-nifene to examine the distribution of nAChRs in the rat forebrain, and for individual animals related the results to behavioral performance on an auditory-cognitive task. We first show negligible binding of ¹⁸F-nifene in mice lacking the β2 nAChR subunit, consistent with previous findings that ¹⁸F-nifene binds to α4β2* nAChRs. We then examined the distribution of ¹⁸F-nifene in rat using three methods: in vivo PET, ex vivo PET and autoradiography. Generally, ¹⁸F-nifene labeled forebrain regions known to contain nAChRs, and the three methods produced similar relative binding among regions. Importantly, ¹⁸F-nifene also labeled some white matter (myelinated axon) tracts, most prominently in the temporal subcortical region that contains the auditory thalamocortical pathway. Finally, we related ¹⁸F-nifene binding in several forebrain regions to each animal's performance on an auditory-cued, active avoidance task. The strongest correlations with performance after 14 days training were found for ¹⁸F-nifene binding in the temporal subcortical white matter, subiculum, and medial frontal cortex (correlation coefficients, r > 0.8); there was no correlation with binding in the auditory thalamus or auditory cortex. These findings suggest that individual performance is linked to nicotinic functions in specific brain regions, and further support a role for nAChRs in sensory-cognitive function.Peer reviewedAuthor's Manuscript is also available open access in PubMed Central: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3292694.This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Bieszczad, K.

Flowering in May–June, fruiting unknown. Distribution: — China (SW Guangxi), Vietnam (Gia Lai: Kon Chu Rang Nature Reserve). Studied specimens: — VIETNAM. Gia Lai province: K’Bang district, Son Lang municipality, Kon Chu Rang Nature Reserve, 29 km ESE of Mang Den town, forest, near waterfall, N 14°31’05’’ E 108°32’50’’, 1000 m, 01 June 2016, M. S . Nuraliev 1624 (IBSC; MW: MW0754511). Notes. Lysimachia nutantiflora is described as having an elongate several- to many-flowered terminal raceme, which is an important character for identification of this species (Hu & Kelso 1996). However, the flower-subtending bracts of L. nutantiflora are leaf-like, with the lower bracts differing from the leaves only in being twice smaller (sometimes even insignificantly smaller, as seen in the Vietnamese specimen). Thus, L. nutantiflora shows an intermediate morphology between a terminal raceme and solitary flowers in axils of the upper leaves.Published as part of Nuraliev, Maxim S., Toyama, Hironori, Hu, Chi-Ming, Luo, Shi-Xiao, Lyskov, Dmitry F., Kuznetsov, Andrey N., Kuznetsova, Svetlana P., Quang, Bui Hong, Binh, Tran Duc & Hoan, Duong Thi, 2022, Three new national records from Kon Chu Rang Nature Reserve, Vietnam: Euphorbia bokorensis, Glochidion geoffrayi and Lysimachia nutantiflora, pp. 73-82 in Phytotaxa 574 (1) on pages 79-80, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.574.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/735981
