    Abstract The invasive species Spartina anglica arose in Europe by a cross between the Afro-European species S. maritima (native, paternal ancestor) and the introduced North American S. alterniflora (invasive, maternal ancestor). Aqueous methanolic extracts were prepared from plant tissue for chemotaxonomical comparison between the three species and determination of the phenolic pattern inheritance in S. anglica. A total of 20 phenolic compounds were detected in the aerial tissues of S. anglica and S. alterniflora, but only seven in S. maritima. They were isolated from their respective crude extracts, and their structures were determined according to spectroscopic data analysis and chemical evidence. They all belong to the flavonoid class, with 13 of them identified as C-glycoflavonoid and seven as O-glycoflavonoid. All these products were detected for the first time from S. anglica, fourteen of them for the first time from S. alterniflora, and three of them for the first time from S. maritima. The individual concentrations in the three species were determined by quantitative HPLC. The two parental species were found to differ markedly in their foliar phenolic fingerprint, whereas that of S. anglica showed a clear maternal dominance. Eight of the fourteen major compounds identified were of maternal origin among which, six were over-expressed, only three were from paternal origin but under-regulated, while two originated from the two parents. As far as we know, this work represents the first exhaustive report of the phenolic fingerprints of S. alterniflora and S. anglica and of the phenolic pattern inheritance in S. anglica. The similarity in the phenolic chemistry of the introduced and invasive S. alterniflora to its progeny could play a role in the physiological vigour and invasion success of S. anglica. This work provide a foundation for further studies, considering the reported biological activities of C-glycosidic flavonoids and tricin derivatives, and the lack of knowledge of the ecological chemistry of the genus Spartina.

    Abstract Two genera of Rosaceae are described from the latest early Eocene Republic flora of northeastern Washington State, United States. Prunus cathybrownae sp. nov. (Rosaceae: subfamily Spiraeoideae, tribe Amygdaleae sensu Potter et al.) is based on eight flowers, including one containing in situ pollen and two immature fruits. Flowers are actinomorphic, perigynous, and pentamerous, with a campanulate hypanthium bearing five sepals. The gynoecium is unicarpellate and consists of a distally flared, bilobed stigma; an elongate style; and an ellipsoid, bilaterally asymmetric ovary. Two whorls of stamens-an inner one in which stamens are reflexed and an outer whorl of extended stamens-are both inserted into the hypanthium. Pollen from the outer whorl is 20 micrometer in diameter and tricolporate with a striately ornamented exine; clusters of smaller, presumably immature grains 7 micrometer long and 4 micrometer wide lacking distinctive ornamentation were recovered from the inner whorl. Immature fruits differ from the flowers in either having a senescent style or lacking one entirely and having fewer remnants of perianth parts and a larger and more symmetrical ovary. A second flower, Oemleria janhartfordae sp. nov. (Rosaceae: subfamily Spiraeoideae, tribe Osmaronieae sensu Potter et al.) is actinomorphic and perigynous and has five free pistils that each resemble the solitary pistil of Prunus. These include a flattened, bilobed stigma and an ellipsoid, bilaterally asymmetric ovary. The fossil has the laterally fixed, elongate style characteristic of the genus. These fossils are the oldest known floral examples of these two genera and demonstrate that both Prunus and Oemleria were present in the latest early Eocene in western North America. The Okanogan Highlands floristic province provides the earliest fossil evidence to date for the first major radiation of the Rosaceae, an important mostly temperate, mostly Northern Hemisphere family.

    Abstract Se reporta una riqueza total de 602 taxones específcos e infraespecífcos para la localidad de Altos de Chicauma, ubicada en la cordillera de la Costa de la Región Metropolitana de Santiago, Chile (33º S), entre 500 y 2.200 m de altitud. Los taxones endémicos de Chile constituyen 41% y los endémicos del Cono Sur de Sudamérica equivalen a 66% de la flora total, mientras que un 14% corresponde a flora alóctona. La flora total es caracterizada respecto a su presencia en siete tipos de hábitats. Se presenta una lista sistemática comentada donde cada taxón es caracterizado respecto a su hábito de crecimiento, origen geográfco, frecuencia relativa, presencia por tipo de hábitat en Chicauma, y para 572 taxones (95%) se indica material de referencia que respalda su presencia en dicha localidad. La flora total y las floras parciales de cada hábitat fueron caracterizadas según su riqueza, composición de orígenes y tipos biológicos. Un análisis de similitud entre la flora nativa de cada hábitat indica que la composición de especies difere signifcativamente al resto en los ámbitos de “ambientes hídricos altomontanos”, “quebradas”, “xérico”, y en los pares, “escleroflo de valle - escleroflo montano” y “caducifolio - altomontano”. Para esta localidad se indica la presencia de 14 especies propuestas en categoría de conservación, nueve endémicas de la cordillera de la Costa de Chile central, 13 endémicas de las cordilleras de las regiones de Valparaíso y Metropolitana, y cinco límites de distribución.

    Abstract Abstract Objective To investigate the cytotoxicity and antiviral activity of methanolic extract of S. grandiflora flowers using different cell lines and viruses. Methods The methanolic flower extracts were prepared and evaluated for their antiviral and cytotoxic activities using viruses like herpes simplex-1 and 2, vaccinia, vesicular stomatitis, cox sackie, respiratory syncytical, feline corona, feline herpes, para influenza, reo-1, sindbis and punta toro viruses in different cell lines, like Hel, HeLa, Crandell Reus feline kidney and Vero cell cultures. Results Among the viruses used the extract possessed strongest antiviral activity against herpes simplex 1 and 2, repiratory syncytical, para influenza, reo, sindbis, cox sackie and punta toro viruses that was (EC50=20 μg/mL and 45 μg/mL) and moderate activity for remaining viruses (EC50= 100 μg/mL). The antiviral activities assessed by calculating the selectivity index may be due to the presence of flavonoids in the extracts there by inhibit the virus cell fusion in the early and replication stages. The cytotoxicity effect was evaluated using MTT assay and the results revealed that the extracts exhibited cytotoxicity from the range of 20 to 100 μg/mL. Conclusions Present results confirmed that the S. grandiflora used as a good antimicrobial agent in future.

    Abstract En este trabajo analizamos un corpus documental encontrado en el Instituto de Arqueología de la Universidad del Tucumán en 1986. Los documentos tienen distinto origen y características y cubren el lapso temporal entre 1934 y 1942. Una vez revisado y organizado el material se destacó, de la totalidad, un conjunto relacionado con la re-edición de la obra de Florian Baucke o Paucke S. J. "Hacia allá y para acá, una es-tada entre los indios mocobíes. 1749-1767". A partir de las primeras lecturas se fueron manifestando, como temas independientes, la problemática de las relaciones internacionales en un período de conflicto bélico; su incidencia en la ins-titución universitaria y las dimensiones del paradigma epistémico de la primera mitad del siglo entre otros tantos. Nuestra atención se orientó hacia la alianza que se establece entre la Universidad de Tucumán, la Institución Cultural Argentino-Germana y la Industria Azucarera, en función de la edición de la obra de un autor alemán. Para poder leer el relato se construyó un marco histórico y metodológico ad-hoc en función de contextualizar los documentos entre 1930 y 1970.

    Abstract Soluble peptidoglycan-polysaccharide complexes (PPC) isolated from feces of a healthy subject shared antigens with 22 out of 40 anaerobic intestinal bacteria and, therefore, these could be considered as flora derived. IgG, IgA and IgM antibodies against PPC were found in sera from healthy subjects, patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and other patients. In sera of CD patients with agglutinating antibodies to 4 anaerobic intestinal bacteria (used as an aid for diagnosis of CD) IgG and IgA levels to PPC were higher than in CD patients without these antibodies.
