Quiz 5 Flashcards
Twigs moderately thick, with true terminal bud. Leaf scars are remote from one another.leaf scar has a horizontal top edge, with the bud perched above it. “4-angled” or winged ash.
green ash
What did analysis of their plastid data find?
a strong maternal affinity of V. appalchiana to V. grainifolia.
What type of data was used regarding the appalachian gametophytes?
plastid, and nuclear DNA sequence
Twigs are thin with opposite leaf scars, and true terminal bud. Bud scales are imbricate (overlapping)
sugar maple
what is different about sweet buckeye distribution?
It does not occur anywhere inside the glacial boundary
Sawtoothed sunflower
radiate capitulum

black locust
what did analysis of their nuclear data find?
V. appalachiana is not the product of interspecies hybridization, as previously postulated.
Buds are long, narrow and pointed. Scales are imbricate. Small semicircular leaf scars, and small narrow stipule scars extending off them.
American Beech
Chicory
ligulate capitulum
Elongate terminal bud, with valvate scales, stipule scares completely encircle twig. Diaphragmed pith type, filled and cross walls.
tulip tree
eastern ohio
underlain predominatently by sandstone, a relatively resistant rock, underlain by shale to the west. Deep valleys, but not in wearing away the intervening higher land, forming a landscape of steep-sided sandstone hills.

Name 5 species of trees/shrubs that have a distribution generally limited to limestone or limey substrates
redbud
red cedar
hackberry
blue ash
hawthorn

green ash
Wingstem
radiate capitulum
oak
Arrow-leaved aster
radiate capitulum
what is different about the distribution of hemlock (contrast with sweet buckeye):
Extends far to the north, well north of the glacial boundary.
What were the results obtained regarding the appalachian gametophytes?
Bayesian analysis of the 56 recovered DET1 alleles yielded a phylogenetic tree that was mostly consistent with the plastid tree.

wingstem

sugar maple

tree of heaven
Name 5 species of trees/shrubs that have a distribution generally limited to sandstone hill of eastern OH.
chestnut oak
sourwood
scrub pine
pitch pine
hemlock
what is different about the distribution of rhododendron?
The teays river system.

black locust
If the closest relatives of V. applachiana are n=120, there would be a second most parsimonious explanation, this one:
divergent speciation
Shield shaped leaf scars with numerous bundle scars arranged in a “U”. large brown pith, and smell like rancid peanut butter. False end bud. Has a tip scar – a small circular scar lacking bundle scars.

walnut

tulip tree

gray goldenrod
Western ohio
underlain by limestone (broad areas of its magnesium containing variety, dolomite) it is relatively nonresistant in this humid climate, worn down to comparatively flat landscape.

Pilewort/fireweed
discoid capitulum

black walnut

Bur oak
Name 5 species of trees/shrubs that have a distribution generally limited to high-lime, clay-rich substrates developed in the thick glacial till of western Ohio.
sugar maple
beech
shagbark hickory
white oak
white ash
…and instead points to an origin involving:
Genome duplication and/or divergent speciation.
What did they find of the two closely related gametophytes?
They are not monophyletic
homosporous
spores all the same produce bisexual gametophytes, in many ferns and lychophytes. no seed plants.

arrow leaved aster
Referring to the appalachian gametophyte, what was their question?
Are they derived from hybridization? (V. appalachiana)
black locust
tulip tree
walnut
american beech
green ash
Alternate leaf arrangement. Buds are hidden beneath leaf scars, saplings produce paired stipular spines. Tall old trees lack spines.
black locust

sneezeweed

green ash
If the closest relatives of V. applachiana turn out to be n=60 then the most likely explanation would be this:
genome duplication

pilewort/fireweed

sawtoothed sunflower
Clustered false end buds. Scales are imbricate (shingled). Pith is star-shaped in cross section.
bur oak
maple

beech
goldenrod
radiate capitulum

chichory

black walnut
western ohio substrate
poorly drained, inadequately aerated, limey, abundant nutrients
Twigs are stout with a true terminal bud, and 3-lobed leaf scars that look like a monkeys face. Twigs have a chambered pith (hollow with cross walls)
Black Walnut

Riddell’s goldenrod
Sneezeweed
radiate capitulum
