“…We used multivariate statistical analysis which was based on foliar epidermal quantitative and qualitative traits for the phylogentic and systemtic realtionships. Using multivaraite analysis like unweighted pair group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA; Anderson, Anderson, Anderson, Anderson, & Mathématicien, ), and principal components analysis (PCA; Manly, ), it was possible to validate the efficacy of foliar anatomical charecters in species and genus discrmination, further it was possible to reconstruct clades among Pteridaceae species from a foliar morphological data set, the same data set was used in other vascular plants groups using comparative leaf anatomy by Soh and Parnell (), micro and macro‐morphology (Naczi, ; Sundue, ; Vega, Rua, Fabbri, & Rúgolo de Agrasar, ), comparative floral anatomy (Moylan, Rudall, & Scotl, ), comprative micromorphology of crested sepals (Guo, ), cypsela micromorphology (Abid & Zehra, ), and compartive root morphology and anatomy (Uma & Muthukumar, ). In present study, we used leaf micromorphological characters on both adaxial and abaxial surfaces of all Pteridaceae species using light and scanning electron microcope for systematics and phylogenetic analysis.…”

The present study is insights into foliar epidermal anatomy for characterizing clades, and their utility in taxonomic segregation of certain species of Pteridaceae from Northern Pakistan. The leaf epidermal anatomy of 10 species of Pteridaceae representing four genera were examined using light and scanning electron microscope. A micromorphological matrix was constructed for eight qualitative and 12 quantitative characters. unweighted pair group method with arithmetic means and principal components analysis statistical analysis were performed to test the validity of foliar epidermal anatomical features as method of separating species and genera, and phylogenetic clusters among species are constructed using qualitative and quantitative traits. The qualitative characters described here are shape of epidermal cells, stomata, guard cell and subsidiary cells, anticlinal wall pattern, and trichomes types which is helpful in defining groups within Pteridaceae. In addition, the size of stomata, guard cells, subsidiary cells, stomatal pore epidermal cells, and trichomes are quantitatively analyzed. All species have hypostomatic leaves. Two types of stomata were observed in studied species, anomocytic and polocytic. Anomocytic stomata were observed in three genera namely: Adiantum, Onychium, and Chielanthes whereas Pteris can be discriminated from other genera by its polocytic stomata. On the basis of multivariate analysis present study does provides sufficient information on the taxonomic importance of foliar anatomy which validate its efficacy in species and genera discrimination. From result obtained here it is further possible to use leaf micromorphologic data in ferns phylogeny and providing basis for future taxonomic delimitation in other taxa.

Avaliação das Substâncias Fenólicas em Rizomas de Três Espécies de Renealmia L. f.: Quantificação, Atividade Antioxidante e Histolocalização Resumo: A histolocalização das substâncias fenólicas foi feita por técnicas usuais em Anatomia Vegetal. A determinação do teor de fenóis totais e do teor de flavonoides foram realizadas por métodos espectrofotométricos. A atividade antioxidante foi avaliada pelos métodos DPPH, ABTS e FRAP. Todos os extratos avaliados apresentaram capacidade antioxidante; entretanto, os melhores resultados foram para os extratos de R. nicolaioides. Correlação positiva foi encontrada entre o conteúdo total de fenólicos e os ensaios de capacidade antioxidante. Os resultados são inéditos para o gênero em questão e contribuem para novas pesquisas sobre substâncias fenólicas e suas atividades antioxidantes.

“…Three plants were studied for each taxon, three replicate values were taken from each plant and the mean value was obtained for each of the quantitative character (Gevu et al, 2014;Uma and Muthukumar, 2014). Floral characters were not studied as no flowers were bloomed during the study period as those are seasonal flowering plants.…”

“…Members of family Zingiberaceae, commonly known as gingers, are an important group of monocotyledons with considerable economic and ornamental potentials (Uma and Muthukumar, 2014). Most often used gingers belong to the genera Alpinia, Amomum, Curcuma and Zingiber and to lesser extent Boesenbergia, Kaempferia, Elettaria, Elettariopsis, Etlingera and Hedychium (Jatoi et al, 2007).…”

Zingiberaceae, includes medicinally and economically important monocotyledons mostly distributed in South and South East Asia. A complete taxonomic knowledge of this plant group in Sri Lanka is lacking hence the present study was carried out to characterize and infer phenetic and genetic relationships of eight economically important zingibers. Morphological and anatomical characters of leaves, rhizomes and adventitious roots and phenolic characters of leaves were cluster analysed using MINITAB 17 to derive relationships. A phylogram was obtained from MEGA software using rDNA ITS sequences amplified by PCR from leaf genomic DNA. Costus speciosus was used as the out group in the phylogenetic study. As per the principal component analysis plant height, rhizome diameter, length of rhizome internodes, leaf length, leaf width and length of leaf petiole can be recommended as suitable for characterization of these taxa. rDNA ITS regions may well be used for Zingiber and Curcuma species identification. Combination of morphological, anatomical and phenolic characters can be used in delimiting commonly used Z. officinale cultivars and Curcuma species in Sri Lanka. Further, derived genetic relationships of these taxa would provide better information in characterization of commonly used Zingiber cultivars, Curcuma and Alpinia species in Sri Lanka at the initial developmental stages and would support in quality improvement breeding programs.
