Synandromyces Telephani (Ascomycetes: Laboulbeniales) From Illinois And Development Of Its Trichogyne, Richard K. Benjamin Jan 1984

Synandromyces Telephani (Ascomycetes: Laboulbeniales) From Illinois And Development Of Its Trichogyne, Richard K. Benjamin

Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany

Synandromyces telephani, originally described from Argentina and subsequently recorded (immature specimens only) from Guatemala, Jamaica, and Trinidad, is reported from Illinois, U.S.A. Characteristics of the genus Synandromyces are reviewed and compared with those of two nearly related genera, Acompsomyces and Stemmatomyces. A key to the nine known species of Synandromyces is presented. Development of the relatively gigantic, determinate, two-celled trichogyne of S. telephani is described and illustrated from the Illinois collections. Trichogyne morphology and other thallus characteristics are discussed in relation to their possible significance in assessing relationships among Acompsomyces, Stemmatomyces, Synandromyces, and other genera of Laboulbeniales.

Vessel Grouping In Dicotyledon Wood, Sherwin Carlquist Jan 1984

Vessel Grouping In Dicotyledon Wood, Sherwin Carlquist

Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany

A hitherto unappreciated correlation exists between nature of vessel grouping and nature of imperforate tracheary elements in wood of dicotyledons at large: families and genera with true tracheids (large fully bordered pits common on both radial and tangential walls) have solitary vessels. Presence of true tracheids as a subsidiary conductive system is hypothesized to render vessel grouping a superfluous adaptation. Vessel grouping does occur to various degrees in taxa with fiber-tracheids or libriform fibers; the degree of grouping is related to likelihood or seriousness of vessel failure by air embolisms because of either drought or frost. Grouping of vessels is …
