“…Solanoideae), a monophyletic group (Bernardello and Chiang-Cabrera 1998). Its members are three woody genera with hermaphroditic flowers, typical of arid and semiarid environments (Bernardello 1986a;Bernardello and Hunziker 1987;Hunziker 1997): Lycium (cosmopolitan with ca. 75 species), Grabowskia (American with four species), and Phrodus (monotypic and endemic of northern Chile).…”

Pollen volume may be involved in different associations with other floral traits. Particularly, the literature indicates that pollen volume can be implicated in a functional relationship with pistil length, and that it may be affected by a trade-off with pollen number because of the subdivision of limited resources. To assess these associations, pollen volume was subjected to correlation analyses with pollen number and pistil length in 20 Argentinean and Chilean taxa of the monophyletic tribe Lycieae. Depending on the mechanisms operating on pollen size and number, the variability of these traits may be different. Therefore, their coefficients of variation were compared. Pistil length and pollen volume showed a strong positive correlation. In contrast, pollen grain size and number were significantly correlated at neither inter- nor intraspecific levels. Results suggest that pollen size and pistil length may co-evolve. The central role of this interaction is discussed. The lack of a correlated variation in pollen size and number may be related to the similar constraints experienced by the species and/or because constraints are operating at the plant level and not at the species level. Lower variance in pollen size compared with pollen number denotes that pollen size may be the main trait subjected to natural selection.

Background: Knowledge on Mexican Solanaceae is uneven. Several areas are well collected and have been floristically treated in recent times, but others have been neglected and are poorly represented in herbaria. Question: Which species of Solanaceae grow in Mexico and which is their state distribution. Study site: Mexico from 2009 to 2011. Methods: We reviewed family literature as well as Mexican and North American herbaria. We analyzed species distribution for each state, and endemism for the country and MegaMexico. Results: We found three subfamilies (Cestroideae Juanulloideae and Solanoideae), 34 genera, 381 species, and 18 varieties. We include state distributions and endemism for the country, as well as for MegaMexico 1, in which the natural limits of the Sonoran, Chihuahuan, and Tamaulipean deserts are included, and MegaMexico 2 which includes Central America up to northern Nicaragua. There are no endemic genera to Mexico, but Nectouxia, Datura and Chamaesaracha are endemic to MegaMexico 1, and Plowmania, Tzeltalia, Capsicophysalis and Schraderanthus are endemic to MegaMexico2. Three genera, Brugmansia, Petunia and Nicandra are introduced and have naturalized species. Solanum has the highest number of species (130) (Sierra-Muñoz et al. 2015). The rest of the country either lacks floristic works, or the inventories are old or incomplete.Uneven knowledge of the Solanaceae in the country, as well as the lack of a sound nomenclature hinders richness and endemism analyses, thus complicating conservation policies.The aims of our work were to provide a current Solanaceae list for Mexico, under Hunziker's (2001) classification system and to offer species distribution data. Materials and methodsWe reviewed family literature including monographs, floristic lists, floras, species original descriptions, thesis, typification literature, nomenclatural synopsis, and phylogenies. The complete list of references is available from Comisión Nacional para el Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad (CONABIO), or from the authors. With that information and our experience, we validated the correct name for the species and formed the Solanaceae list. We visited MEXU, XAL, MO, IBUG, IEB, SD and QMEX (acronyms according to Thiers, continuously updated) to review the specimens and obtain their distribution. The list up to 2011 including synonyms is available at (consulted in feb 2017).Species distribution information at the state level was completed with recent floristic lists. Lists prior to 2000 were not used because of nomenclatural problems. Subfamily and genera circumscriptions are according to Hunziker (2001). We do not include subgenera or sections here, but the complete nomenclature data base is available from CONABIO. For discrepancies among different classification systems we followed Hunziker (2001 ResultsThe list we present (Table 1), has the species described so far excluding synonyms. We found three subfamilies of Solanaceae that group 34...

Dried flowers from Solandra maxima were hydrodistilled yielding 0.3% of essential oil; the yield could be slightly increased when the flowers were subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis using β‐glucosidase prior to hydrodistillation. The two samples were subjected to a comparative investigation by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. About 70 compounds were identified in both samples, representing more than 95% of the total. The main constituents were linalool (12.4% and 17.9%), methyl salicylate (9.1% and 11.4%), safranal (3.8% and 5.7%), α‐terpineol (2.0% and 4.5%), geraniol (2.6% and 3.6%), carvacrol (17.8% and 11.5%), (E)‐nerolidol (3.4% and 4.3%) and benzyl salicylate (11.1% and 7.1%). Alcohols, phenols and esters were the major classes, the concentration of alcohols being distinctly higher in the sample obtained after enzymatic hydrolysis. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
