Three new combinations in African Cyperus (Cyperaceae)

Primary and secondary development of Cyperus giganteus Vahl rhizome (Cyperaceae)

(Primary and secondary development of Cyperus giganteus Vahl rhizome (Cyperaceae)). In Cyperus giganteus, like in other Monocotyledoneae, the protoderm, procambium, fundamental meristem and primary thickening meristem (PTM) are differentiated from the rhizome promeristem. The PTM produces the inner cortical parenchyma, endodermis, pericycle and amphivasal vascular bundles, which are formed by t...

Vascular architecture of the monocot Cyperus involucratus Rottb. (Cyperaceae)

The arrangement of vascular bundles in the stems of monocots has been described repeatedly as "scattered." But to the trained eye it is clearly ordered as verified by the use of the R index of Clark and Evans. The arrangement of bundles in leaves and sclerenchyma bundles in stems are also ordered. An equation was developed for the probability distribution frequencies (pdf) for leaf intervein di...

Isolation of nuclear microsatellite markers for Cyperus fuscus (Cyperaceae)1

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite markers were characterized in the extremely specialized ephemeral wetland plant species Cyperus fuscus (Cyperaceae). The markers will be used for studying population genetics in natural vs. anthropogenic habitats, on a European scale, and the role of the soil seed bank in the life cycle of this ephemeral species. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-one microsatellit...

بررسی بیوسیستماتیکی جنس (cyperus l.(cyperaceae در شمال شرق ایران

جنس cyperus l. با 700 گونه در جهان، دومین جنس بزرگ تیره cyperaceae محسوب می شود. این تاکسون جهان شمول و مراکز تنوع آن در مناطق گرمسیری و نیمه گرمسیری جهان می باشد. براساس فلورا ایرانیکا این جنس 45 گونه دارد که از این میان 23 گونه از آن در ایران می باشد. به منظور برطرف کردن مشکلات تاکسونومیکی گونه های این جنس در شمال شرق کشور، مطالعات ریخت شناسی (تاکسونومی عددی)، تشریحی، گرده شناسی و مطالعه سطح ...
