  2. 6. Desert Plants and Deserted Islands : Systematics and Ethnobotany in Caryophyllaceae

    Author : Anneleen Kool; Mats Thulin; Gudrun Kadereit; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; BEAST; Corrigiola; DNA barcoding; Morocco; Pollichia; Polycarpon; Polycarpaea; RAxML; Sanctambrosia; Spergula; Spergularia; Sphaerocoma;

    Abstract : Background. Caryophyllaceae is a large and cosmopolitic flowering plant family, however the systematics of many of its basal groups has been unclear, due to a lack of unambiguous morphology. Some members of Caryophyllaceae are used medicinally, e.g. READ MORE

  4. 7. Systematics of Lindenbergia and Campylanthus (Scrophulariaceae)

    Author : Mats Hjertson; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : The plant life of north-east Africa and Arabiahas received much interest in recent years, a fact illustrated by the various ongoing flora projects in the region, e.g., the Flora of Ethiopia and Eritrea, Flora of Somalia and Flora of Arabia. READ MORE

  5. 8. Reticulate Evolution in Diphasiastrum (Lycopodiaceae)

    Author : Sunniva Margrethe Due Aagaard; Niklas Wikström; Tom A. Ranker; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; admixture analysis; Bayesian clustering; Diphasiastrum; Feulgen DNA image densitometry; homoploid hybridization; Lycopodiaceae; phylogenetic analysis; polyploidy; reticulate evolution; Systematics and phylogenetics; Systematik och fylogeni; systematisk botanik; Systematic Botany;

    Abstract : In this thesis relationships and the occurrence of reticulate evolutionary events in the club moss genus Diphasiastrum are investigated. Diphasiastrum is initially established as a monophyletic group within Lycopodiaceae using non recombinant chloroplast sequence data. READ MORE

  6. 9. Effects of increased UV-B radiation on the lichen Cladonia arbuscula spp. mitis: UV-absorbing pigments and DNA damage

    Author : Roberta Buffoni Hall; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systematic botany; taxonomy; morphology; phytogeography; chemotaxonomy. Physiology of nonvascular plants; kemotaxonomi. Växters fysiologi inte kärlväxter .; Systematisk botanik; taxonomi; morfologi;

    Abstract : Lichens, a form of symbiosis between a fungal and a photosynthetic partner, are believed to be a group that evolved early in the history of terrestrial life. As a consequence, they probably experienced higher ultraviolet (UV) radiation fluxes than at present. READ MORE

  7. 10. Big survivors with small flowers : Fossil history and evolution of Laurales and Chloranthaceae

    Author : Helena Eklund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; systematisk botanik; Systematic Botany;

    Abstract : This thesis provides palaeobotanical evidence on Cretaceous Laurales and Chloranthaceae, and discusses and evaluates the material in a phylogenetic framework. Chloranthaceae extend back to the Barremian or Aptian and Laurales to the Albian (both Early Cretaceous). READ MORE
