“…Both strategies exhibited by different species coexist in ultramafic outcrops of Portugal. Thus, examples of Ni-hypercaccumlators are Odontarrhena serpyllifolium, firstly reported in Portuguese serpentines by Sequeira (1969), and Antirrhinum rothmaleri (García-Barriuso et al 2012) while Paragymnopteris marantae is a Ni excluder.…”

Serpentine areas are scarce in the world, but contain a large number of endemic taxa. These areas have, in many cases, been little or not at all surveyed from a vegetation and biodiversity conservation point of view. The most important Portuguese serpentine outcrops are found in northeastern Portugal, particularly in the Bragança-Vinhais and Morais massifs. Here, we present a complete ecological-floristic check-list of serpentinophites that are found in these areas since this knowledge is essential for their evaluation, management and conservation. A total of 25 taxa, classified into three categories with different grades of serpentinophily, were included in the list:(1) obligate serpentinophytes (exclusively on serpentine), (2) endemic or widespread taxa that in Portugal occur exclusively in ultramafic outcrops, and (3) preferential serpentinophytes (most of the distribution range, at least 90% of populations, are found on serpentine). Genera common to other Iberian serpentine areas (Andalusian serpentine flora) are Odontarrhena, Arenaria, Armeria, Asplenium, Paragymnopteris, Saxifraga and Silene. The majority of the studied serpentinophytes (72%) occurred in endemic and highly specialized plant communities. About half of the studied serpentinophytes (48%) are assigned in some IUCN threat category. Consequently, it is necessary to implement conservation measures to guarantee the protection of these habitats.

“…This ornamental plant is native of the west Mediterranean area, and its genetic centre is southern Spain (Schwarz-Sommer et al 2003;García-Barriuso et al 2012). The ancient Romans, who cultivated this plant for ornamental purposes, spread it throughout Britain.…”

At the beginning of the 1990s, a simple genetic model that explained flower development was presented based on Arabidopsis thaliana and Antirrhinum majus floral homeotic mutants. According to this model, which is a milestone in plant development studies, flower development can be explained by three classes of genes (A, B and C), each one controlling the identity of organs in two adjacent whorls. Intriguingly, more than 20 years later, there are still some unanswered questions, in particular regarding the universality of the class A-function genes. Class A genes are well characterised in A. thaliana, but so far no A mutants have been described in other plant species nor in Antirrhinum majus. Here, we retrace the story that led to the proposal of the ABC model focusing on the contribution of A. majus to this model. Although fewer groups are still using A. majus as a model system, this plant was a master contributor to our comprehension of the molecular networks controlling flower development.
