“…Lacandonia belongs to tribe Triurideae of the Triuridaceae and includes two species, Lacandonia schismatica E. Martínez & Ramos and Lacandonia brasiliana A. Melo & M. Alves, both endemic to the Neotropics. Lacandonia schismatica E. Martínez & Ramos is known from the Lacandon region of Chiapas, Mexico (Martínez & Ramos, 1989;Ambrose et al, 2006), whereas Lacandonia brasiliana A. Melo & M. Alves, first described for South America by Melo and Alves (2012), was recorded for the Atlantic Forest in the State of Paraíba, Northeastern Brazil, ca. 20 km from the Atlantic coast, where the average annual temperature is 26°C and the annual rainfall 1,700 mm.…”

The Triuridaceae family is composed of saprophytic plants, chlorophylls, usually unbranched stems, leaves in alternate scales, bisexual or unisex racemous inflorescence, follicle or achene fruits. The species Lacandonia brasiliana A. Melo & M. Alves was described as a new species at the beginning of this decade through its first occurrence in the state of Paraíba, Brazil and South America. The objective was to report the first occurrence of the species Lacandonia brasiliana to Ceará State, the second occurrence for Brazil and South America, contributing to the knowledge of its distribution. The species was collected through expeditions in Cerrado fragments, in the municipality of Viçosa do Ceará-CE, during May/2019, which had fertile structures for later taxonomic identification. The collected material was herborized and later deposited in the Herbarium Prisco Bezerra (EAC) of the Federal University of Ceará. Identification was based on identification keys, specialized bibliography, expert consultation, comparison with herbarium and standard specimens. The species is presented with description, taxonomic and ecological comments, distribution data and images. It is a small, non-branched, mycro-heterotrophous species found in a preserved area of Seasonal Semideciduous Forest, being the first record for a Cerrado phytophysiognomy area. It's concluded that the new occurrence of Lacadonia brasiliana for the State of Ceará highlights the importance of floristic surveys in Cerrado forest remnants, and it is possible to observe the expansion of its territorial distribution, degree of conservation and richness.

Role of transcriptional regulation in the evolution of plant phenotype: A dynamic systems approach

A growing body of evidence suggests that alterations in transcriptional regulation of genes involved in modulating development are an important part of phenotypic evolution, and this can be documented among species and within populations. While the effects of differential transcriptional regulation in organismal development have been preferentially studied in animal systems, this phenomenon has also been addressed in plants. In this review, we summarize evidence for cis-regulatory mutations, trans-regulatory changes and epigenetic modifications as molecular events underlying important phenotypic alterations, and thus shaping the evolution of plant development. We postulate that a mechanistic understanding of why such molecular alterations have a key role in development, morphology and evolution will have to rely on dynamic models of complex regulatory networks that consider the concerted action of genetic and nongenetic components, and that also incorporate the restrictions underlying the genotype to phenotype mapping process. Developmental Dynamics 244:1074-1095, 2015. V C 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Key words: phenotypic evolution; gene regulation; epigenetics; evo-devo; gene regulatory networks IntroductionIn this review article, we will provide evidence to connect natural phenotypic variation in plants to heritable changes in epigenetic and transcriptional regulation and discuss how plant phenotypic alteration can be explained by the relative position of regulators within gene regulatory networks. In the first section of the article, we show how plant phenotypic variation can be generated by different mechanisms of gene transcriptional regulation. The second section comprises diverse evidence for plant phenotypic evolution related to three main regulatory alterations: epigenetic modifications, cis-regulatory changes, and trans-regulatory changes. We also briefly talk about the fitness costs of natural regulatory variation in plant populations. Finally, we address the importance of a systems perspective for understanding how genetic and epigenetic alterations map onto phenotypic changes by altering complex gene regulatory networks and affecting the evolution of plant phenotype, and discuss some of the technological approaches that could advance this field.
