Abstract The aim of our study is to determine important honey resources and botanical characterisation of honey in a high-altitude region of Türkiye. Natural honey samples were collected from all possible locations in 2017. The melissopalynological analysis identified 14 unifloral honey samples, and many plants were also determined as important sources for multifloral honey. Principal component analysis separated honey samples from low-altitude regions while high-altitude regions form a tight cluster. Pollen diversity was found to be lower in honeys at low altitudes and higher pollen diversity was found in honeys at high altitudes. Altitude plays an important role in the pollen content of the honey, with Cornus mas, Asteraceae, and Hypericum being indicator pollen types above 1500 m; Castanea sativa and Myosotis pollen were found predominant or secondary under 1100 m altitude. This has allowed the altitude preferences of some plants, which are important for beekeeping, to be associated with the location of the apiaries and, therefore, the composition of the honey.

TheTarskoe swamp is oneof the largest peatbogs in the central part of theNorthCaucasus, it occupies about 20 ha in the basin between the Lesisty and Pastbishchny ranges (42° 57 ʹ46" N, 44° 43 ʹ32" E; 806 m above sea level [a.s.l.]). The climate is temperate continental with warm and very humid summer and medium cold, snowy winter. The swamp is located in the lower montane belt of broad-leaved forests dominated by Fagus orientalis Lipsky and Carpinus betulus L. with Quercus robur L., and an admixture of Corylus avellana L., Ulmus glabra Huds. and Pyrus caucasica Fed. Swamp vegetation is formed by Carex sp. and Phragmites australis (Cav.) Steud. with Matteuccia struthiopteris L. and Sphagnum sp., with thickets of Alnus glutinosa L. in some places. The swamp was drained for pasture and haymaking in the mid-twentieth century. Two previous studies investigated cores from the Tarskoe swamp (Knyazev et al. 1992; Neishtadt 1955, 1957). However, Neishtadt (1995, 1957) did not provide a dating for the sediment core and Knyazev et al. (1992) did not include the upper part of the core, which might have been removed during peat harvesting. The drilling for the present study was made in 2019 in an undisturbed area of the swamp.

Abstract Intact fungal spores and smaller fungal fragments such as hyphae are sources of airborne allergens. Information on the distribution of sub-spore allergenic particles in the atmosphere is however limited. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to explore the behaviour of Alternaria aeroallergens in the atmosphere of Ankara, central Turkey. Aerobiological monitoring was carried out in the 2020 season. A Burkard volumetric spore trap was used for fungal spore collection, and a high-volume cascade impactor for allergen collection. The Alt a 1 levels in two air fractions (particulate matter (PM) > 10 µm and 10 > PM > 2.5 µm) were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The seasonal spore integral (SSIn) was 1846 spore day/m3. In the same period, a total of 95.71 pg/m3 Alt a 1 concentration was recorded, of which 93% was recorded in PM>10 and 7% in PM10–2.5 air fraction. The amount of allergen per spore was 5.18 × 10−2 pg/spore/m3. The highest concentration for both spores and allergens was observed on 30 June, i.e. before the local crop harvest. Four days with highest spore levels occurred about one week after the rainfall (> 1 mm). Hot and humid weather probably contributed to the intensive development of fungi and an increase in the concentration of spores in the atmosphere. Our findings suggest that in areas with semi-arid climate, such as central Turkey, the weather conditions have a greater effect on behaviour of the distribution of Alternaria aeroallergens than agricultural practices.

Lake Vapsko-2 (42° 04 ʹ 50.72" N, 23° 31 ʹ 11.50" E; 2250 m above sea level [a.s.l.]) is situated in the lower range of the subalpine belt in the southern part of the Rila Mountains, Bulgaria. The lake has a nearly oval shape with a water surface of 0.28 ha fed by the larger upper Lake Vapsko-1 and drains into the Vapa River. The surrounding steep slopes are covered by thick impenetrable stands of Pinus mugo Turra with some Juniperus sibirica Burgsd. within patches of herb vegetation (Ivanov 1964).The coniferous forest belt in this part of the Rila Mountains is dominated by Pinus peuce Griseb. admixed with Picea abies L. (Karst.) and Pinus sylvestris L. At lower altitudes, Abies albaMill. also occurs. The distribution of Fagus sylvatica L. below 1200-1000 m is fragmented, together with the oak forests (Tonkov et al. 2019).

Abstract Pollen morphology of six species from the Macranthera-Agalinis clade (Orobanchaceae) was studied using both light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Pollen grains are (2-)3(4-)-colpate, 3-brevicolpate and 4-, rarely 6-porate, obtate to prolate (P/E = 0.72–1.52) in shape; medium-sized and rarely large-sized (P = 26.60–50.54 µm, E = 22.61–47.88 µm). Three pollen types are found and described based on the pollen grain size, length of the colpi, exine thickness, exine sculpture, columellae length and thickness and nanogemmae size. Type III contains three subtypes differentiated by pollen grain size, length of the colpi, exine thickness, exine sculpture, columellae length and nanogemmae size. Unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) dendrograms based on palynological data support that Dasistoma macrophylla has unique morphological and morphometric characters. In D. macrophylla we observed a transition from the 3-brevicolpate type to the 4-porate and occasionally 6-porate type. This polymorphism with respect to apertures may provide an advantage for D. macrophylla to survive under different ecological conditions and on a wide range of hosts. Palynomorphological data are interpreted in the existing phylogenetic framework. The 3-colpate type of apertures and a nanogemmate exine sculpture are hypothesised to be the plesiomorphic condition within the Macranthera-Agalinis clade.

Abstract The legume genus Parkia R.Br. has a pantropical distribution and centre of diversity in the Amazon. The molecular phylogeny of the group indicates a Neotropical origin in the Amazon biome during the Miocene, and habitat reconstruction points to terra firme (unflooded) forests. We examined recently described fossil pollen from the Miocene Solimões Formation in western Brazilian Amazonia attributed to this genus. Aiming to establish an infra-generic affinity, comparisons were performed between fossil pollen of Parkiidites marileae Leite and pollen from extant Parkia species using morphological characters and multivariate analyses. Parkiidites marileae is characterised by large and globose polyads, the polyads are composed of 16 monads, and the monads have a verrucate ornamentation. Analyses suggest two well-defined groups, a non-NLR (nearest living relative) group composed of P. decussata, P. gigantocarpa, P. velutina, P. panurensis, P. platycephala, P. pendula, P. multijuga, and P. ulei; and a NLR group composed of P. cachimboensis, P. discolor, P. igneiflora, P. lutea, and P. nitida. All species of the NLR group belong to the same clade, with a molecular age estimated at ∼12.8 million years, which is virtually the same age as interpreted for the first occurrence of P. marileae in the Solimões Formation. The late Middle to Late Miocene in western Amazonia was a time of gradual change from vast wetlands to more river-dominated landscapes that favoured unflooded forests where Parkia diversified and is distributed today.

Abstract The pollen morphology of 150 species representing 33 genera of Zingiberaceae was examined using light (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as part of a comprehensive survey of this family. The pollen grains of the species studied are inaperturate, with a thin exine and thick intine, and with diverse ornamentation. This variation in the pollen suggests it may be a useful source of characters for future phylogenetic analyses based on combined datasets.

Abstract Amicia is the least diverse genus of the Adesmia clade. It has a disjunct distribution with six endemic species restricted to the central Andes of South America and one species endemic to Mexico. The phylogeny and taxonomy of this genus have been extensively studied. Nevertheless, pollen data are still insufficiently known within a taxonomic context. In this study, we analysed all Amicia species using light, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy and we present phylogenetically useful palynological information to support taxonomic studies. Variation in pollen grain size and aperture features is used to delimit pollen types, which corroborate molecular and biogeographical data. Multivariate analysis reinforced the pollen type subdivisions and revealed novel diagnostic morphological features for two infrageneric taxa of Amicia. Our pollen results provide informative pollen characters to assist in the delimitation of Amicia species, which can be easily misidentified due to similarities in vegetative structures. Amicia pollen morphology reflects population isolation and divergence of Amicia lineages and provides critical features for future phylogenetic optimisation of the Adesmia clade.

Our pollen results provide informative pollen characters to assist in the delimitation of Amicia species, which can be easily misidentified due to similarities in vegetative structures. Amicia pollen morphology reflects population isolation and divergence of Amicia lineages and provides critical features for future phylogenetic optimisation of the Adesmia clade.","PeriodicalId":50414,"journal":{"name":"Grana","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49343687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract A microscopic analysis of 41 samples of honey obtained from several locations in the Laghouat region revealed the presence of 98 pollen types belonging to 48 families. Asteraceae, Fabaceae and Nitrariaceae were present in all the samples. Brassicaceae, Rhamnaceae and Apiaceae were identified in more than 80% of the samples. The families with highest diversity of pollen types were Fabaceae and Asteraceae with 13 and 11 types, respectively, Apiaceae and Boraginaceae with five types each. Twenty-seven honey samples (65.85%) were found to be monofloral and the remaining 14 polyfloral. The pollen types from Ziziphus lotus, Peganum harmala, Echium sp., Tamarix sp., Lotus, Eucalyptus sp., Eruca vesicaria and Thapsia garganica appeared as the predominant pollen. Eighteen pollen types were classified as very frequent, present in more than 50% of the samples. The number of pollen types identified per sample ranged between 14 and 40 (mean of 24.41). For the quantitative analysis, the pollen content of the studied honey samples ranged from medium (class II, 48.78% of the samples) to high (class III, 53.65% of the samples), where the pollen density ranged from 26 607 to 660 992 in 10 g of honey, with an average of 160 880 grains per 10 g.

Abstract A restinga is an ecosystem of the Atlantic Forest biome that occurs along the Brazilian coastal plains. The restinga areas studied here occur in the states of Santa Catarina, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Alagoas, Paraíba and Maranhão. Honey, bee pollen, propolis and geopropolis produced by Apis mellifera and native stingless bees are characterised through the pollen morphology of bee plants. The main nectariferous sources in honey samples are Schinus terebinthifolia, Euterpe edulis and Syagrus romanzoffiana in São Paulo state; Burseraceae and Myrtaceae in Bahia state; Copaifera, Humiria balsamifera and mangrove plants in Maranhão state. The main polliniferous sources are Myrtaceae and Solanaceae in bee pollen samples in Santa Catarina state and Myrcia as monofloral samples in Rio de Janeiro state; Astrocaryum aculeatissimum is predominant and Cocos nucifera is always present in Bahia state. In propolis samples of Rio de Janeiro state Eucalyptus and Mimosa caesalpiniifolia are the most common pollen types; in Bahia state were Mimosa sensitiva and Cocos nucifera; Borreria, Cocos nucifera and Mimosa sensitiva in Alagoas state; Borreria and Symphonia globulifera in Paraíba state. Geopropolis samples from Maranhão state are strongly heterogeneous. Trees and shrubs in the resting areas considered here dominate over herbaceous plants and are predominant in the use by both Apis and native stingless bees. The wide presence of Eugenia catharinae pollen in the southern region samples, of Schinus terebinthifolia pollen in the south-eastern region, and of Avicennia, Cocos, Copaifera and Humiria pollen in samples of the north-eastern region are highlighted.
