Flower morphometry of Rhizophora mangle (Rhizophoraceae): geographical variation in Mexican populations.
We explored the patterns of intra- and interpopulation variation in flower morphology of the red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle. Twelve populations in Mexico were studied: five from the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, and seven from the Pacific Coast. Six metric floral attributes were measured from a sample of 1370 flowers. Significant differences among populations were found for all six att...
متن کاملWind pollination and propagule formation in Rhizophora mangle L. (Rhizophoraceae): resource or pollination limitation?
Rhizophora mangle is considered as a self-compatible mangrove, and is pollinated by wind and insects. However, there is no information about fruit production by autogamy and agamospermy and on the foraging behavior of its flower visitors. Hence, the present study analyzed the pollination and reproductive systems of R. mangle in a mangrove community in northern Pernambuco, Brazil. Floral morphol...
متن کاملIsolation of microsatellite markers for the red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle (Rhizophoraceae)1
UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Three species of the mangrove tree genus Rhizophora are found in the New World and along the west coast of Africa. Of these, R. mangle is the most abundant and has a complex interbreeding relationship with the sympatric R. racemosa and R. harrisonii. The development of additional microsatellite markers would permit paternity analyses and investigation of the h...
متن کاملGenetic diversity and relatedness of the mangrove <i>Rhizophora mangle</i> L. (Rhizophoraceae) using amplified fragment polymorphism (AFLP) among locations in Florida, USA and the Caribbean
Rhizophora mangle L. is a widespread mangrove species in theWestern Hemisphere.Mangrove habitat loss and their importance to coastal and reef ecosystems make greater understanding of their genetic structure useful for conservation and management. An amplified fragment polymorphism (AFLP) analysis was performed on samples from Florida and the Caribbean to discover the genetic structure present. ...
متن کاملMeasuring the effects of salinity stress in the red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle L
The mangrove habitat exhibits many unique physical features, one of the most important of which is a salinity gradient. Photosynthetic rates, as measured by leaf stomatal conductance and leaf chlorophyll fluorescence induction, were tested as indicators of salinity stress in seedlings of the red mangrove, Rhizophora mangle, grown under five different salinity levels: 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 parts...
