Delphinium L. Subgen. Delphinium: origin and evolutionary trends

چکیده
BLANCHE, C. (1990) Delphinium L. subgen. Delphinium: origin and evolutionary trends. Collect. Bot. (Barcelona), 19: 75-95. The advanced features of Delphinium L. subgen. Delphinium (annual taxa) are compared with those of subgen. Delphinastrum (DC.) Wang and subgen. Oligophyllon Dimitrova (perennial taxa). Flower morphology shows a functional interchange between lateral petals and upper petals, and inflorescence structure favours geitonogamy-autogamy rates. Karyotype evolution is based on a decrease in the total length of chromosomes and on an increase in the degree of asymmetry: the chromosome number remains constant (2n = 16) in the subgen. Delphinium. The dispersal efficiency of the annual species is higher than that of perennials due to seed set increase and improved floatability, both in water and in air. Other advanced adaptive features are the acquisition of new chemical weapons and the emergence of a new embryonogenic type. The ecological niches of subgen. Delphinium correspond to open and disturbed habitats in contrast to the stable and relatively closed ones of subgenera Delphinastum and Oligophyllon. A final hypothesis is made concerning the evolutionary trends observed in annuals vs. perennials in connexion with biogeographical considerations, and a final taxonomic summary is given.

متن کاملA phylogeny of Delphinieae (Ranunculaceae) shows that Aconitum is nested within Delphinium and that Late Miocene transitions to long life cycles in the Himalayas and Southwest China coincide with bursts in diversification.
The tribe Delphinieae (Ranunculaceae) comprises two species-rich genera, Aconitum and Delphinium, the latter including Consolida and Aconitella. The 650-700 species are distributed in Eurasia and North America; three species occur on tropical African mountains. Maximum likelihood analyses of 2088 aligned nucleotides of plastid and nuclear sequences obtained from up to 185 species of Delphinieae...

Four new diterpenoid alkaloids: tiantaishansine (1), tiantaishannine (2), tiantaishanmine (3), and tiantaishandine (4) have been isolated from the roots of Delphinium tiantaishan. Their structures were elucidated by chemical evidence and spectral analyses, including ESI-MS, HR-EI-MS, 1D- and 2D-NMR.
