Notulae to the Italian alien vascular flora: 5
2018
In this contribution, new data concerning the distribution of vascular flora alien to Italy are presented. It includes new records, and confirmations for Italy or for Italian administrative regions of taxa in the genera Albizia, Anredera, Bougainvillea, Cardamine, Cenchrus, Cephalaria, Ceratochloa, Cytisus, Datura, Delosperma, Euonymus, Freesia, Hylotelephium, Lantana, Musa, Physalis, Rotala, Styphnolobium, Trachycarpus, and Tradescantia. Nomenclature and distribution updates, published elsewhere, and corrections are provided as supplementary material.
Environmental and Biochemical Factors Controlling the in Vitro Emergence of Somatic Embryos in European Spindle Tree (Euonymus europaeus L)
2000
The European spindle tree (Euonymus europaeus L. Celastraceae) is a shrubby tree widely distributed in temperate regions of western European countries from the northern part of France to St. Petersburg and the western part of Russia. The Celastraceae comprises 55 genera, including at least 850 known species of trees and shrubs which are found in tropical and temperate regions. Various secondary metabolites are elaborated in the family including steroids, triterpenoids, sesquiterpene, peptide ore alkaloids. The spindle tree is commonly found in quickset hedges and small broad-leaved forests when the soil is deep, moist, clayey and chalky. The leaves are relatively small (3–4 cm long) simple …
Euonymus latifolius (L.) Miller (Celastraceae) en Castilla-La Mancha
2005
Miguel.Gomez@uv.es Olga.Mayoral@uv.es Se aportan los primeros datos sobre la presencia de Euonymus latifolius en la Comunidad Autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha (España). La población hallada se encuentra próxima a las hoces del río Tajo en Cuenca y está compuesta por 32 ejemplares, de los cuales sólo 2 son adultos. We found the first population of Euonymus latifolius in Castilla-La Mancha region (Spain) near the river Tajo in Cuenca province with only 32 plants, 2 of which are adults.
Effect of Gibberellin on Mature Euonymus europaeus L. Seeds
1992
The release from dormancy of Euonymus europaeus L. embryos by a brief treatment with GA 3 has been studied. During 48 h incubation of dormant embryos in GA-free medium, phospholipid levels increased at first, then declined sharply over the last 6 h. When the embryos were placed in GA, medium during this 6 h period levels of total phospholipids as well as of phosphatidylethanolamine increased whilst phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine declined slightly
Ultrastructural Studies on Development in Mature Seeds; Embryos ofEuonymus europaeaL. Dormant or Cultured at +25 °C
1989
Ultrastructural observations on naturally dispersed and dehydrated seeds of Euonymus europaea L. were performed. It was shown that during the culture of isolated embryos at 25 °C for 7 d the maturation of protein bodies continued; the initial juvenile form (single protein body per cell with dispersed contents) was developing into a more advanced form (single body split to form several sub-units with condensed contents). Parallel biochemical determinations pointed to an increase in insoluble protein levels. There were no changes in other storage organelles, lipid bodies, either in the fine structure or in the level of triacylglycerols. Deterioration of cellular membranes (in mitochondria, pr…
Control of in vitro somatic embryogenesis of the spindle tree ( Euonymus europaeus L.) by the sugar type and the osmotic potential of the culture med…
1999
In vitro somatic embryogenesis was achieved from zygotic embryo explants of a woody angiosperm species, the spindle tree, cultivated on various culture media differing in their sugar type and concentration, or in the applied osmotic potential. The highest frequency of somatic embryogenesis was obtained with a 350 mM sucrose, or a 89 mM glucose concentration in the culture medium. Experiments with culture media differing only in osmotic potential indicated that a minimal threshold osmotic potential is required to stimulate the emergence of somatic embryos. Elevated concentrations of glucose have an inhibitory effect, independent of their osmotic effect, while elevated concentrations of sucr…
Somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration in a woody species: the European Spindle Tree (Euonymus europaeus L.).
1993
Somatic embryogenesis and subsequent plant regeneration of Euonymus europaeus L (European Spindle Tree) were obtained from square pieces of mature zygotic embryos with an intervening callus phase. Callus and somatic embryos were induced using a Murashige and Skoog's semi-solid basal medium supplemented with several combinations of auxins and cytokinins. The greatest number of somatic embryos was obtained with a continuous exposure to 22.8 μM indoleacetic acid and 0.046 μM kinetin. The frequency of somatic embryogenesis from zygotic embryos depends on the cold conservation time of seeds. The embryos frequently germinated on the same medium. Further development of somatic embryos into plantle…
