  1. 1. Systematics of Echiochilon and Ogastemma (Boraginaceae), and the Phylogeny of Boraginoideae

    Författare :Elisabeth Långström; Per Ola Karis; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Organismic biology; Antiphytum; Echiochilon; Ogastemma; Boraginaceae; Echiochileae trib. nov.; phylogeny; ITS; floral morphology; atpB; tribes; biogeography; Africa; America; Organismbiologi; Organism biology; Organismbiologi; Systematisk botanik; Systematic Botany;

    Sammanfattning : Echiochilon, Ogastemma and Sericostoma are revised resulting in the recognition of 15 species of Echiochilon and one Ogastemma species. Several species are placed in synonymy and three new species are described, E. baricum, E. callianthum and E. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Evolution of Spur Length in a Moth-pollinated Orchid

    Författare :Elin Boberg; Jon Ågren; W. Scott Armbruster; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Platanthera bifolia; floral evolution; natural selection; pollination; spur length; population differentiation; divergent selection; disruptive selection; reproductive isolation; Biology; Biologi; Ecological Botany; Ekologisk botanik;

    Sammanfattning : There is considerable evidence that pollinator shifts can explain many differences in flower morphology between closely related plant species, but the extent to which pollinator shifts can explain the maintenance of among-population variation in floral traits within species is poorly known. In this thesis, I combined comparative and experimental approaches to examine the evolution of floral traits in the moth-pollinated orchid Platanthera bifolia. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Evolutionary relationships in Thunbergioideae and other early branching lineages of Acanthaceae

    Författare :Agneta Julia Borg; Jürg Schönenberger; Richard Olmstead; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; växtsystematik; Plant Systematics;

    Sammanfattning : Acanthaceae as circumscribed today consists of the three subfamilies Acanthoideae (Acanthaceae sensu stricto), Thunbergioideae and Nelsoniodieae, plus the genus Avicennia. Due to the morphological dissimilarities of Thunbergioideae and Nelsonioideae, the delimitation of the family has been controversial. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Palynology of Hypochoeridinae and Scolyminae (Compositae)

    Författare :Gamal El-Ghazaly; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Pollen grains of 35 species representing all 7 genera of the subtribe Hypochoeridinae, and Scolymus hispanicus of the subtribe Scolyminae were examined by LM, SEM and TEM. The pollen grains of annual species are usually smaller than those of perennial ones. The Hypochoeridinae possesses essentially tricolpororate,echinolophate pollen grains. LÄS MER

  7. 5. MADS-Box Gene Phylogeny and the Evolution of Plant Form : Characterisation of a Family of Regulators of Reproductive Development from the Conifer Norway Spruce, Picea abies

    Författare :Annelie Carlsbecker; Quentin Cronk; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi; Fysiologisk botanik; Physiological Botany;

    Sammanfattning : The evolutionary relationships between the angiosperm floral organs and the reproductive organs of other seed plants is not known. Flower organ development requires transcription factors encoded by the MADS-box genes. LÄS MER
