“…Kandelia is more similar to Rhizophora than to Bruguiera or Ceriops, even though these genera are originated from the same tribe of Rhizophoraceae. A number of phylogenetic studies of the Rhizophoraceae tribe based on molecular markers and morphological characters support this view (Setoguchi et al, 1999;Schwarzbach & Ricklefs, 2000;Lakshmi et al, 2002).…”

Background. Mangrove forests have long been known as a source of phytochemical compounds producing various secondary metabolites. Despite the ubiquitous diversity of polyisoprenoids in the plant kingdom, few studies have focused on the distribution of polyisoprenoids in mangrove plants. The present study describes the distribution and occurrence of a new class of prenyl derivates -polyprenyl acetone as well as other polyisoprenoids in fourteen species of Indonesian mangroves, with an emphasis on chemotaxonomic importance. Material and methods. The leaves and roots of fourteen North Sumatran mangroves were analyzed using two-dimensional thin layer chromatography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Results. In the leaves, the distribution of several types of polyprenyl acetones, polyprenols, and dolichols was detected and classified into types: type-I, having a predominance of dolichols over polyprenols (more than nine-fold), was observed in Acrostichum aureum (younger leaves), Avicennia alba, Av. lanata, Av. officinalis, Bruguiera parviflora, Ceriops tagal, Nypa fruticans, and Rhizophora mucronata; type-II, having the presence of both polyprenols and dolichols, was observed in Acanthus ilicifolius, Acr. aureum, B. cylindrica, and R. apiculata; type-III having a predominance of polyprenols over dolichols (more than nine-fold), was not observed in any North Sumatran mangroves; type-IV, having the presence of both polyprenyl acetones and dolichols, was observed in Aegiceras corniculatum; type-V, having the presence of polyprenyl acetones, polyprenols, and dolichols, was observed in Sonneratia caseolaris and Xylocarpus granatum. In the roots, type-I distribution was observed in Ae. corniculatum, Av. alba, Av. lanata, Av. officinalis, B. parviflora, C. tagal, N. fruticans, R. apiculata, R. mucronata, S. caseolaris, and X. granatum. Type-II distribution was observed in Ac. ilicifolius, Acr. aureum, and B. cylindrica. Type-III, -IV, and -V distributions were not observed in mangrove roots. Cluster analysis demonstrated that polyisoprenoid patterns in the leaves and roots form distinct separation into appropriate genera and tribe, suggesting that mangrove polyisoprenoids are chemotaxonomically significant. Conclusions. The major polyisoprenoid alcohols in Indonesian mangroves were found to be dolichols rather than polyprenols. The diversity of polyisoprenoids in both leaves and roots of mangroves may provide chemotaxonomic marker. The discovery of a new class of polyprenyl acetone is the first report from mangrove plants.

“…A phylogenetic tree was derived for the 123 species using the rbcL-based phylogeny of Nandi et al (1998), chosen because it allowed placement of families not included in previous phylogenies. The tree was modified according to Bradford & Barnes (2001), Conran et al (2000), Gadek et al (1996), Kårehed (2001), Plunkett & Lowry (2001), Schwarzbach & Ricklefs (2000) and Wilson et al (2001).…”

Reproductive traits of tropical rain-forest trees in New Caledonia

2003

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Reproductive traits of 123 species of rain-forest tree from ultramafic regions of New Caledonia were assessed, mainly from herbarium specimens. Most species had extremely small, simple, pale-coloured flowers that are probably mainly pollinated by small insects, but not including bees. The seeds of most species were considered to be bird dispersed. However, wind is also important for pollination and seed dispersal. The phenological trend was for an increase in the number of species flowering and fruiting around the end of the warm dry season/start of the hot wet season, followed by a decline at the end of the wet season, and lower proportions during the cooler season. Seed size was significantly correlated with fruit size. Other correlations, between flower size and fruit size, and between seed size and seed number, were significant using species as independent observations, but did not hold following phylogenetic correction. Compared with non-dioecious species, dioecious species had significantly larger seeds, and a greater proportion of species with biotic dispersal, abiotic pollination and solitary (female) flowers. The long-term persistence of at least the larger-seeded tree species in New Caledonia is precarious, since the endemic giant pigeon, Ducula goliath, is probably their principal effective disperser, and this species is in decline.

“…5) in the latter paper, however, it is classified close to the genera Comiphyton and Blepharistemma, quite distantly from the clade with the other subgenera. This classification of Dactylopetalum in a clade separate from the other subgenera is confirmed by Schwarzbach & Ricklefs (2000). In this study, however, only two species of the subgenera Cassipourea and Dactylopetalum and one of the subgenus Weihea are taken into account.…”

Cassipourea (Rhizophoraceae) is represented in Gabon by 11 species, of which C. nana Breteler and C. ndambiana Breteler are described as new and C. carringtoniana Mendes, C. gummiflua Tul. and C. ruwensorensis (Engl.) Alston are reported from this country for the first time. The subgeneric classification is discussed. An adapted key to the subgenera and a key to the Gabonese species is presented. A synopsis of the subgenera and of the Gabonese species is also given. The new species and Cassipourea carringtoniana are fully illustrated. A few illustrations of some other species to elucidate characters of the subgenera are provided.
