  1. Ceratophyllales, “Basal” Eudicots, Caryophyllales Spring 2013

  2. Major Angiosperm Clades Amborellaceae Nymphaeales Austrobaileyales MAGNOLIID COMPLEX MONOCOTS EUDICOTS [TRICOLPATES] ANITA GRADE Soltis et al. 2000, APG II 2002, Judd et al. 2002

  4. Ceratophyllales:Ceratophyllaceae -Submerged aquatic with many adaptations for this habitat -Fossil record extends back to the early Cretaceous -Phylogenetic position still uncertain, but clearly part of the early radiation of angiosperms above the ANITA grade

  5. Ceratophyllum – Probably sister to the eudicots The most recent molecular data support this.

  6. Ceratophyllales: Ceratophyllaceae - Ceratophyllum

  7. Fig. 7.1

  8. Eudicots (tricolpates) • Monophyletic: tricolpate pollen, slender filaments in stamens*, and loss of ethereal oils • Ca. 125 million years old as a lineage • Ca. 75% of angiosperm diversity (at least 160,000 species) • Flower parts in whorls, with whorls alternating* *also happened in monocots!

  21. Core Eudicots:The Caryophyllales • Vessel elements with simple perforation plates • Anther wall development • Support mainly from molecular data • Two main clades: Core Caryophyllales and the non-core Caryophyllales • Evidence now supports placement sister to the Asterids; previously near base of core eudicots • 10,650 species in 30 families

  22. Fig. 8.17

  23. One Origin of Carnivory(there is another in the Asterids) • One clade of the non-core Caryophyllales evolved carnivory (lost in one of the families) • At least three mechanisms: snap-traps, pitchers, sticky glands

  27. Non-core Caryophyllales:Polygonaceae(The Buckwheat or Knotweed Family) • Widely distributed, usually in temperate regions • Herbs, shrubs, trees, or vines • Diversity: Approx. 1,100 species in 43 genera • Flowers: Perianth of 4-6 petaloid (sepaloid) tepals; stamens 5-9; carpels 2-3 in superior ovary; fruit an achene or nutlet, often 3- angled, often associated with remaining perianth parts • Significant features: Presence of a sheathing stipule, the ocrea, at stem nodes (lost in Eriogonum); nodes often swollen; leaves usually alternate, simple and spirally arranged; flowers in fascicles, these variously arranged in inflorescences • Special uses: buckwheat (Fagopyrum) fruits used as food; rhubarb (Rheum) petioles and sorrel (Rumex) leaves used as vegetable; many weeds • Required family

  28. Polygonaceae - ocrea

  29. Polygonaceae: Polygonum (knotweeds) -a number of species in this genus are weedy

  30. Polygonaceae: Persicaria (smartweeds) -a number of these are native to North American prairies, found especially in potholes and sloughs

  31. Polygonaceae - Eriogonum

  32. Polygonaceae – Buckwheat (Fagopyrum)

  33. Fig. 8.17

  34. Core Caryophyllales Demonstrated to be monophyletic based mainly on DNA data, but most also share the following derived characters: • Betalain pigments – Nitrogen-containing (alkaloidal) red and yellow pigments that replace the anthocyanin (phenolic) pigments found in most other land plants • Presence of perisperm in seeds – specialized diploid tissue derived from the megasporangium • Ovules campylotropous with ‘beaked’ integuments – inner integument extends beyond outer at micropyle • Placentation free-central to basal • Coiled or folded embryos in seeds • Uniseriate perianth – single whorl of tepals • Stamens maturing centrifugally – Innermost anthers mature first, progressively moving to outside of whorl • Special form of sieve tube plastids surrounded by proteinaceous filaments
