“…For this reason, searching for vegetative characters in addition to the reproductive ones is highly important to aid in species identification, and anatomical features often have provided useful findings (e.g. Brandis, 1907;Prat, 1936;Brown, 1958;Metcalfe, 1960;Calderón and Soderstrom, 1973;Renvoize, 1987;Vieira et al, 2002;Guglieri et al, 2008;Oliveira et al, 2008;Pelegrin et al, 2009;Jesus Junior et al, 2012;Viana et al, 2013a, b;Leandro et al, 2016;Aliscioni et al, 2016).…”

The utility of Bambusoideae (Poaceae, Poales) leaf blade anatomy for identification and systematics

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Bambusoideae is a diverse subfamily that includes herbaceous (Olyreae) and woody (Arundinarieae and Bambuseae) bamboos. Species within Bambusae are particularly difficult to identify due to their monocarpic lifecycle and the often long durations between mass flowering events; whereas the herbaceous bamboos are pluricarpic, but often are found with no reproductive structures. The leaf blade anatomy of 16 sympatric species of native Brazilian bamboos (Olyreae and Bambuseae) from the Atlantic Rainforest was studied in order to detect useful features for their identification. All the studied species share the following features: epidermis with a single stratum of cells; adaxial bulliform cells; mesophyll with arm cells, rosette cells, and fusoid cells; and collateral vascular bundles. Herbaceous bamboos share two features: papillae scattered on the abaxial surface and parallel-sided arrays of bulliform cells; whereas woody bamboos share: centrally organized papillae and fan-shaped arrays of bulliform cells. Also within the woody bamboos, intercostal fibers and a midrib with only one vascular bundle (simple midrib) characterize the subtribe Arthrostylidiinae; whereas a midrib with more than one vascular bundle (complex midrib) and a stomatal apparatus with two pappilae per subsidiary cell characterize the subtribe Chusqueinae. There are also diagnostic features for the sampled species, such as: papillae shape, and the outline and structure of the midrib. An identification key for all the studied species is provided based on the anatomical features.Keywords: Arthrostylidiinae, Bambuseae, Chusqueinae, leaf blade, Olyreae.A utilidade da anatomia da lâmina foliar para a identificação e sistemática de espécies de Bambuboideae (Poaceae, Poales) ResumoBambusoideae é uma subfamília que inclui diversas espécies de bambus herbáceos (Olyreae) e lignificados (Arundinarie e Bambuseae). Bambus lignificados geralmente apresentam dificuldades de delimitação e identificação, devido principalmente ao ciclo monocárpico e longa amplitude temporal entre florações; enquanto que bambus herbáceos possuem ciclo pluricárpico, porém frequentemente são encontrados em estágio vegetativo. Foi estudada a anatomia da lâmina foliar de 16 espécies de Bambusoideae (Olyreae e Bambuseae), simpátricas e nativas do Brasil, visando levantar caracteres úteis para sua identificação. Todos os táxons estudados compartilham: epiderme uniestratificada; células buliformes na face adaxial; mesofilo com células invaginantes, células em roseta e células fusoides; e feixes vasculares colaterais. Bambus herbáceos compartilham: papilas dispersas na face abaxial e grupos de células buliformes organizadas paralelamente; enquanto que bambos lignificados compartilham: papilas organizadas em colunas centrais e grupos de células buliformes em forma de leque. Ainda dentre os bambus lignificados, fibras intercostais e nervura central com apenas um feixe vascular (nervura central simples) caracterizam a subtribo Arthrostylidiinae; enquanto que nervura central com mais d...

Fusoid cells in the grass family Poaceae (Poales): a developmental study reveals homologies and suggests new insights into their functional role in young leaves

et al. 2018

Background and Aims In mature grass leaf blades as seen in cross-section, oblong cell-like structures have been interpreted most recently as intercellular gas spaces delimited by successive collapsed fusoid cells. These cells have been reported in at least seven of 12 subfamilies of Poaceae and are considered a synapomorphy for the family; however, no developmental work has been performed to verify their meristematic origin or to assess possible homologies within the graminid clade (= Flagellariaceae + [(Joinvilleaceae + Ecdeiocoleaceae) + Poaceae]) or among subfamilies of Poaceae. A developmental study was therefore carried out, including 20 species in three families (Flagellariaceae, Joinvilleaceae and Poaceae), representing the earlier-diverging and derived branches within the graminid clade and Poaceae. • Methods Light microscopy was combined with scanning electron microscopy, cryoscanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy to study the development of leaves taken from the shoot apex of young plants. Mature leaf blades also were taken from living or dried plants and the mid-portion was studied. • Key Results Developmental results show that, in mature leaf blades as seen in cross-section, one apparent fusoid cell is typically a cavity resulting from the collapse of the initial fusoid cell and its internal divisions, which are herein interpreted as derivative cells with formation of cell plates only. Each cavity is delimited by successive collapsed fusoid cells arranged perpendicularly to the veins. Fusoid cells in all studied Poaceae members originate from the ground meristem, as do the colourless cells in Joinvillea ascendens (Joinvilleaceae). These two types of mesophyll cell have a strongly similar ontogeny, distinguished mainly by the collapse of the fusoid cells in Poaceae, which is not observed in the colourless cells in J. ascendens. • Conclusions Within the Poaceae, the meristematic origin of fusoid cells is the same in the early-diverging lineages, BOP clade and Panicoideae, and thus they are homologous within the family. The same topography and meristematic origin suggest that fusoid cells in Poaceae and colourless cells in Joinvilleaceae are homologous. The results also suggest that the role played by the fusoid cells in young grass leaves is related to synthesis and storage of starch granules at early stages of development.
