In Spanish, English and French abstracts.The first complete taxonomic account based on more than 2000 sheets deposited in 28 herbaria is here presented. A detailed description a key for two species therein included are provided, as well descriptions, habitat preferences, phenology, geographic distribution. The typification name...
Abstract We show the power of detailed AFLP study to address questions species delimitation and genetic diversity in morphologically-cryptic plants. have combined this technique with karyological studies explore boundaries Western Mediterranean representatives Veronica subgen. Pentasepalae. Several members subgenus are represented Iberian Peninsula North Africa by morphologically similar populations, which lead different taxonomic hypotheses. analyzed variation two objectives: first, provide...
Abstract The Filago group (Asteraceae, Gnaphalieae) comprises eleven genera, mainly distributed in Eurasia, northern Africa and America: Ancistrocarphus, Bombycilaena, Chamaepus, Cymbolaena, Evacidium, Evax, Filago, Logfia, Micropus, Psilocarphus Stylocline. main morphological character that defines the is receptacular paleae subtend, more or less enclose, female florets. aims of this work are, with use three chloroplast DNA regions (rpl32‐trnL intergenic spacer, trnL intron, trnL‐trnF...
Abstract The Inula complex (Asteraceae: Inulinae) is a monophyletic group which comprises eight genera distributed in Eurasia and Africa: Amblyocarpum, Carpesium, Chrysophthalmum, Inula, Pentanema, Rhanteriopsis, Telekia , Varthemia. With the aim to shed light on circumscription of these genera, phylogenetic analyses were performed with 293 new DNA sequences (ITS region from nrDNA three plastid spacers cpDNA: rps16–trnQ, rpl32–trnL, ndhF–rpl32). It concluded that both Pentanema are...
Abstract To test whether there are differences between living lineages of domestic guinea pigs Cavia porcellus , we studied 118 specimens from six breeds collected along Andean countries as well 15 the wild cavy species ( tschudii ). The mean weight and body length adult cavies (295±31 g, 242±8.3 mm) were significantly smaller than 25 creole Bolivia Chile (639±157 287±23.7 mm, respectively). Eighteen laboratory/pet (including English Pirbright breed) also (900±173 308±21 improved ones Peru...
The aim of this study was to quantify the phenotypic differences amongst taxa included in Veronica subgenus Pentasepalae, represented western Mediterranean area. In combination with previously obtained data on genotypic differences, enabled recognition eight taxonomic units. delimitation boundaries among species and subspecies mainly based molecular data, whereas best characters discriminate were selected after an accurate herbarium material living populations. Such a selection also...

Abstract A thorough mechanistic study has been performed on the reaction between benzophenone (BZP) and a series of 1,4‐dienes, including 1,4‐cyclohexadiene (CHD), 1,4‐dihydro‐2‐methylbenzoic acid (MBA), 1,4‐dihydro‐1,2‐dimethylbenzoic (DMBA) linoleic (LA). combination steady‐state photolysis, laser flash photolysis (LFP), photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (photo‐CIDNP) have used. Irradiation BZP CHD led to cross‐coupled sensitizer–diene product, together with 6 , 7 8 ....
Abstract Despite the recent publication of several phylogenies focused on Rhinantheae, which has been expanded to include three Asian endemic genera, few studies so far have dealt with particular genera within tribe. Here, we focus Odontites and related because high morphological variability group its unclear generic boundaries. Phylogenetic analyses were performed for nrDNA (ITS) cpDNA ( trnK region rps16 intron) datasets, using Bayesian Parsimony analyses. Our results cast doubt inclusion...
Abstract A complete nomenclatural treatment of the genera Filago L. and Logfia Cass. is provided, as well a list species included in each genus subgenus, they have been newly circumscribed. Nomenclatural types for eleven validly published names are designated, which correspond to (1) widely used long‐established gen‐ era or subgenera, (2) that chosen described delimited (3) recently proposed new combinations at specific level. In total, one subgeneric name typified lectotypes, five epitypes...

Pollen grains from 30 taxa, mainly the Western Mediterranean area belonging to perennial sections of genus Veronica (Scrophulariaceae), were studied by LM and SEM. A close relationship was found between pollen size ploidy level. Palynological characters cannot be regarded as essential taxonomic tools within groups studied, although they have systematic value in some specific cases. The monophyly subsect. Multiflorae is supported a common exclusive sculpture exine. Delimitation discussed...
Chromosome numbers in 80 populations belonging to 18 species of Potentilla L. subgen. from the Iberian Peninsula and two P. maura, a North African endemic taxon, have been counted. The basic number chromosomes is always x = 7 these are small (between 1 2 µm). For three species, reported for first time and, another six, this has established representatives. Moreover, new ploidy levels obtained hispanica crantzii with regard their entire distribution area, cinerea neumanniana Peninsula. Some...
Filago desertorum, as traditionally circumscribed, is a species that shows high levels of morphological variation. Previous authors have even suggested this taxon should represent heterogeneous assembly true biological species. A taxonomic revision the included in desertorum clade was performed, and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers were used to explore phylogenetic relationships among members clade. Three are recognized group, one which newly described. full description...
Several processes related to the reproductive biology of Iberian species genus Potentilla L. subg.Trichothalamus (Spreng.)Rchb., Comarum (L.) Syme and Fragariastrum (Heist.ex Fabr.)Rchb.are studied.We provide data concerning compatibility, agamospermy hybridization along with pollination fruit dispersal.No mechanisms were found in any taxa, nor there signs hybridization, although potential self-incompatibility detected.Regarding pollination, a marked tendency toward autogamy was observed...
Abstract Pollen grains of 30, mainly annual, species from 134 populations the genus Veronica (Plantaginaceae, formerly Scrophulariaceae) Mediterranean Region, have been studied with light and scanning electron microscopy. Three pollen types are defined based on size exine surface sculpture. In some cases within study group can be useful in determination. Hypothetical relationships grain aperture number ploidy level, style length corolla diameter discussed. The ornamentation Veronica,...
