“…In the evolutionary context, increase of ovule number in late-divergent angiosperms is accompanied by a smaller size of the ovule that results in an enlarged diversity in dispersal biology (Igersheim & Endress, 1998;Igersheim et al, 2001). This result agrees with the statement of Fagundes & Mariath (2014) that few ovules per carpel might be a plesiomorphic character state in Poales, based on the fact that this character state is present in Brocchinioideae, an early-divergent subfamily of Bromeliaceae (Givnish et al, 2011), and in the earlydivergent genera of Bromelioideae, namely Ananas Mill.

“…These characteristics have already been described for all subfamilies of Bromeliaceae (Palac ı, Brown & Tuthill, 2004;Sajo et al, 2004;Sartori, 2008;Fagundes & Mariath, 2014;Nogueira et al, 2015) and, according to Bouman (1984), both conditions are common in angiosperms, bitegmy is also common in other monocotyledons.

“…Recently, these features have been used in a taxonomic approach, e.g. Fagundes & Mariath (2014) reviewed the female gametophyte and ovule in Bromeliaceae and Nogueira et al (2015) showed ovary and ovule features in nidularioids.

Tillandsioideae are composed of nine genera, most of these with unclear delimitation. The morphoanatomy of ovules and ovaries of 83 species from seven different genera was studied under light or scanning electron microscopy to contribute to the understanding of the relationships in the group. The nucellar epidermis and the parietal tissue showed a regular pattern for all Tillandsioideae. The presence of chalazal appendages, however, and their shape and size varied between the genera analysed. Most species had a single acuminate chalazal appendage. Catopsis was the only genus with multiple appendages. Guzmania and Racinaea lacked this structure. The integuments also presented a variable length and thickness among the different genera. The four to six layers of the outer integument were unique in Catopsis and the three cell layers condition in the inner integument of Tillandsia should be a retained feature as it was also observed in Catopsis. Many characteristics in ovule morphology presented here have great systematic value for distinguishing genera of the Tillandsioideae. In addition, these features can also help in the understanding of ovule evolution in Bromeliaceae as a whole.

“…Studies on ovule morphology and histology can also help in understanding evolutionary changes (Soverna et al, 2003;Endress, 2005Endress, , 2011Wang and Ren, 2007;Mariath, 2008, 2010;Płachno and Świątek, 2009;Fagundes and Mariath, 2014). According to Anderberg et al (2007), Taraxacum and Chondrilla are classified within subfamily Cichorioideae.…”

Many Asteraceae species have been introduced into horticulture as ornamental or interesting exotic plants. Some of them, including Solidago and Galinsoga, are now aggressive weeds; others such as Ratibida are not. Special modifications of the ovule tissue and the occurrence of nutritive tissue have been described in several Asteraceae species, including invasive Taraxacum species. This study examined whether such modifications might also occur in other genera. We found that the three genera examined - Galinsoga (G. quadriradiata), Solidago (S. canadensis, S. rigida, S. gigantea) and Ratibida (R. pinnata) - differed in their nutritive tissue structure. According to changes in the integument, we identified three types of ovules in Asteraceae: “Taraxacum” type (recorded in Taraxacum, Bellis, Solidago, Chondrilla), with well-developed nutritive tissue having very swollen cell walls of spongy structure; “Galinsoga” type (in Galinsoga), in which the nutritive tissue cells have more cyto-plasm and thicker cell walls than the other integument parenchyma cells, and in which the most prominent character of the nutritive tissue cells is well-developed rough ER; and “Ratibida” type (in Ratibida), in which the nutritive tissue is only slightly developed and consists of large highly vacuolated cells. Our study and future investigations of ovule structure may be useful in phylogenetic analyses.

“…Considerando que o Brasil possui a maior diversidade de bromélias do mundo, há um grande espaço a ser explorado, sendo, no entanto, necessária à geração de conhecimentos básicos sobre as espécies de interesse. Considerando o número de gêneros e espécies em Bromeliaceae, poucos são os estudos relacionados ao desenvolvimento do óvulo e grão de pólen (RAO; WEE, 1979;SAJO et al, 2005;PALACÍ;TUTHILL, 2004;CONCEIÇÃO;SARTORI, 2008;SPAT, 2012;DE TONI, 2012;DORNELES, 2013;MARIATH, 2014;OLIVEIRA et al, 2015). Essas infomações têm fonecido importantes dados para a morfologia e taxonomia da família Bromeliaceae.…”
