    Epiphytes are hyper-diverse and one of the frequently undervalued life forms in plant surveys and biodiversity inventories. Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive Atlantic Forest data set on vascular, non-vascular plants (including hemiepiphytes), and lichen epiphyte species occurrence and abundance; (2) describe the epiphyte distribution in the Atlantic Forest, in order to indicate future sampling efforts. Our work presents the first epiphyte data set with information on abundance and occurrence of epiphyte phorophyte species. All data compiled here come from three main sources provided by the authors: published sources (comprising peer-reviewed articles, books, and theses), unpublished data, and herbarium data. We compiled a data set composed of 2,095 species, from 89,270 holo/hemiepiphyte records, in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, recorded from 1824 to early 2018. Most of the records were from qualitative data (occurrence only, 88%), well distributed throughout the Atlantic Forest. For quantitative records, the most common sampling method was individual trees (71%), followed by plot sampling (19%), and transect sampling (10%). Angiosperms (81%) were the most frequently registered group, and Bromeliaceae and Orchidaceae were the families with the greatest number of records (27,272 and 21,945, respectively). Ferns and Lycophytes presented fewer records than Angiosperms, and Polypodiaceae were the most recorded family, and more concentrated in the Southern and Southeastern regions. Data on non-vascular plants and lichens were scarce, with a few disjunct records concentrated in the Northeastern region of the Atlantic Forest. For all non-vascular plant records, Lejeuneaceae, a family of liverworts, was the most recorded family. We hope that our effort to organize scattered epiphyte data help advance the knowledge of epiphyte ecology, as well as our understanding of macroecological and biogeographical patterns in the Atlantic Forest.

    Otimização da utilização de marcadores moleculares microssatélites e sua aplicação em estudos com plantas daninhas

    Apesar de existirem marcadores moleculares mais específicos, os marcadores microssatélites apresentam grande potencialidade de utilização na área de plantas daninhas devido à sua crescente disponibilização em outras espécies e à qualidade das informações proporcionadas. O uso convencional dos marcadores moleculares microssatélites demanda grande quantidade de trabalho e recursos financeiros. O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever a técnica da cauda fluorescente como forma de otimização da utilização de marcadores moleculares microssatélites, utilizando como exemplo um estudo de identificação de híbridos entre arroz-vermelho e cultivado. Foram utilizadas como modelo plantas de arroz cultivado, arroz-vermelho e o híbrido originado do cruzamento artificial dessas plantas. A técnica da cauda fluorescente consiste na síntese do iniciador forward com a sequência desejada e a adição da sequência de um iniciador universal, que corresponde à chamada cauda. A detecção da amplificação é realizada em equipamento de eletroforese capilar automatizada, através da utilização de um iniciador universal sintetizado com fluoróforo. O sistema desenvolvido foi eficiente na identificação da hibridização entre arroz cultivado e vermelho e apresenta viabilidade de utilização, por exemplo, em estudos de fluxo gênico da resistência a herbicidas e de caracteres relacionados à adaptação diferencial entre essas plantas. A técnica da cauda fluorescente possibilitou o uso de diversos marcadores moleculares a partir de um único marcador fluorescente e viabilizou a realização das análises em multiplex. O aumento da disponibilidade e do conhecimento de técnicas moleculares pode proporcionar melhor elucidação em vários estudos relacionados a espécies de plantas daninhas que possuem pouca disponibilidade de marcadores moleculares específicos

    Genetic Structure And Phenotypic Variation In Wild Populations Of The Medicinal Tetraploid Species Bromelia Antiacantha (bromeliaceae)

    Premise of the study: The patterns of genetic structure in plant populations are mainly related to the species life history and breeding system, and knowledge of these patterns is necessary for the management, use, and conservation of biological diversity. Polyploidy is considered an important mode of evolution in plants, but few studies have evaluated genetic structure of polyploid populations. We studied the patterns of genetic structure and morphological variation of Bromelia antiacantha (Bromeliaceae) populations, a polyploid terrestrial species.Methods: Microsatellite markers and morphological analyses were used to explore patterns of genetic and morphological diversity in wild populations of B. antiacantha.Key results: The results of our simple-sequence repeat analyses supported that B. antiacantha is a polyploid species. The inbreeding coefficients were high and significant in all populations (F IS = 0.431), indicating homozygote excess. Bromelia antiacantha showed high levels of genetic differentiation among populations (F ST = 0.224) and therefore was highly structured. High morphological variation was observed in fruit phenotypic traits in the populations studied.Conclusions: The levels of genetic diversity and the pattern of the population ' s structure may be related to the low recruitment of seeds, clonal reproduction, and the population ' s colonization history. The genetic and morphological variability displayed in this study are important issues in planning the conservation and exploitation of this resource in a sustainable way. © 2011 Botanical Society of America.98915111519Barbará, T., Lexer, C., Martinelli, G., Mayo, S., Fay, M.F., Heuertz, M., Within-population spatial genetic structure in four naturally fragmented species of a neotropical inselberg radiation, Alcantarea imperialis, A. geniculata, A. glaziouana and A. regina (Bromeliaceae) (2008) Heredity, 101, pp. 285-296Barbará, T., Martinelli, G., Fay, M.F., Mayo, J., Lexer, C., Population differentiation and species cohesion in two closely related plants adapted to neotropical high-altitude 'inselbergs,'Alcantarea imperialis and Alcantarea geniculata (Bromeliaceae) (2007) Molecular Ecology, 16, pp. 1981-1992Barbará, T., Martinelli, G., Palma-Silva, C., Fay, M.F., Mayo, S., Lexer, C., Genetic relationships and variation in reproductive strategies in four closely related bromeliads adapted to neotropical 'inselbergs': Alcantarea glaziouana, A. regina, A. geniculata and A. imperialis (Bromeliaceae) (2009) Annals of Botany, 103, pp. 65-77Barbará, T., Palma-Silva, C., Paggi, G.M., Bered, F., Fay, M.F., Lexer, C., Cross-species transfer of nuclear microsatellites markers: Potential and limitations (2007) Molecular Ecology, 16, pp. 3759-3767Borba, E.L., Funch, R.R., Ribeiro, P.L., Smidt, E.C., Silva-Pereira, V., Demography, and genetic and morphological variability of the endangered Sophronitis sincorana (Orchidaceae) in the Chapada Diamantina, Brazil (2007) Plant Systematics and Evolution, 267, pp. 129-146Brown, G.K., Gilmartin, A.J., Chromosome numbers in Bromeliaceae (1989) American Journal of Botany, 76, pp. 657-665Canela, M.B.F., Sazima, M., The pollination of Bromelia antiacantha (Bromeliaceae) in southeastern Brazil: Ornithophilous versus melittophilous features (2005) Plant Biology, 7, pp. 411-416Carnaval, A.C., Moritz, C., Historical climate modelling predicts patterns of current biodiversity in the Brazilian Atlantic forest (2008) Journal of Biogeography, 35, pp. 1187-1201Cascante-Marín, A., Oostermeijer, J.G.B., Wolf, J.H.D., den Nijs, J.C.M., Reproductive biology of the epiphytic bromeliad Werauhia gladioliflora in a premontane tropical forest (2005) Plant Biology, 7, pp. 203-209Cavallari, M.M., Forzza, R.C., Veasey, E.A., Zucchi, M.I., Oliveira, G.C.X., Genetic variation in three endangered species of Encholirium (Bromeliaceae) from Cadeia do Epinhaço, Brazil, detected using RAPD markers (2006) Biodiversity and Conservation, 15, pp. 4357-4373Ceita, G.O., Assis, J.G.A., Guedes, M.L.S., Oliveira, A.N.P.C., Cytogenetics of Brazilian species of Bromeliaceae (2008) Botanical Journal of Linnean Society, 158, pp. 189-193Chapman, H.M., Parh, D., Oraguzie, N., Genetic structure and colonizing success of a clonal, weedy species, Pilosella officinarum (Asteraceae) (2000) Heredity, 84, pp. 401-409Crawford, D.J., Enzyme electrophoresis and plant systematics (1989) Isozymes in plant biology.
