Chloroplast microsatellite markers for Artocarpus (Moraceae) developed from transcriptome sequences1
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Chloroplast microsatellite loci were characterized from transcriptomes of Artocarpus altilis (breadfruit) and A. camansi (breadnut). They were tested in A. odoratissimus (terap) and A. altilis and evaluated in silico for two congeners. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifteen simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified in chloroplast sequences from four Artocarpus transcriptome ass...
متن کاملComparative biology of pollination systems in the African-Malagasy genus Brownleea (Brownleeinae: Orchidaceae)
The role of pollinators in the evolution of the African-Malagasy orchid genus Brownleea (Brownleeinae) was investigated. Taxa show specialization for pollination by bees (B. parviflora, B. recurvata), short-proboscid flies (B. galpinii), and long-proboscid flies (B. macroceras, B. coerulea). All species in the genus produce nectar, but some (B. coerulea, B. galpinii) appear to mimic flowers of ...
متن کاملTrends in Pollination Biology
An effusion of books and articles on pollination biology has appeared recently, showing a renewed interest in this area of reproductive biology that has strong significance for the continuous evolution of seed plants. Consequently, a comprehensive review is not possible in this paper; topics have been selected and a restricted number of examples given. New findings in "classical" pollination sc...
متن کاملAntimicrobial activities of the methanol extract and compounds from Artocarpus communis (Moraceae)
BACKGROUND Artocarpus communis is used traditionally in Cameroon to treat several ailments, including infectious and associated diseases. This work was therefore designed to investigate the antimicrobial activities of the methanol extract (ACB) and compounds isolated from the bark of this plant, namely peruvianursenyl acetate C (1), α-amyrenol or viminalol (2), artonin E (4) and 2-[(3,5-dihydro...
متن کاملReconstructing the phylogeny of figs (Ficus, Moraceae) to reveal the history of the fig pollination mutualism
Figs (Ficus, Moraceae) constitute one of the largest genera of flowering plants with ca. 750 species worldwide. While the extraordinary mutualism between figs and their pollinating wasps has received attention for decades, we are only just beginning to reconstruct the phylogeny of both partners, a necessary framework for addressing a variety of questions concerning the evolution of mutualism. H...
