“…The quantitative foliar epidermal character of D. mespliformis shows a significant longer and wider stomata length and width as D. dendo possesses the least, D. precatorium also has the highest stomata density with D. crassiflora having the least hence separating the species (Table 2). The influence of trichome morphology and distribution in the taxonomy of different groups of plants has been well documented by Adedeji et al (2007) in the delimitation of genera and species within the family Solanaceae. Rammaya and Rao (1976) and Rao and Rammaya (1977) have also emphasized the taxonomic importance of trichomes in the family Malvaceae.…”

“…Seeds are often dispersed by various fruit-eating animals, such as civet cats, monkeys (Tutin et al, 1996). Ebenaceae are the source of several economically important products, the most valuable being their fruits and timber (ebony) and the genus Diospyros is best known for producing dense black wood (ebony) and tasty fruit (e. g. persimmons and zapotes) (Casper, 2013).…”

This study investigated the foliar anatomy and venation patterns of thirteen species of the genus Diospyros in Nigeria with a view to identifying characters of great taxonomic value in the genus. Plant collections were made from different locations in Southwest Nigeria and the site of collection georeferenced with a GPS device. Samples were identified at the Herbarium of Botany Department, Obafemi Awolowo University (IFE). Voucher Specimens were deposited in the herbarium and voucher number assigned to each of the species. The samples were subjected to foliar epidermal and venation examinations. Qualitative data were recorded as the quantitative data were subjected to statistical analysis and the characters vary significantly (P = 0.05). Epidermal and venation characters which separate the taxa include stomata type, size and index, shape and size of epidermal cell, trichome type, presence/ absence of crystal/druses, as well as venation. Paxillate venation in D. suaveolens is diagnostic for the species. The presence of parenchymatous sheath over the veins and veinlets in D. tricolor is a spot character. The study reveals that leaf epidermal and venation characters are important in delimitation of species in the genus Diospyros.

“…As such, it is clearly an evolutionary process. Domestication, thus, provides us with an opportunity to investigate long‐term evolutionary change in species using diverse data from historical records and accounts, archaeology, ethnobotany, botany, and molecular biology (e.g., Casas et al, 1997; Zohary and Hopf, 2000; Doebley et al, 2006; Emshwiller, 2006; Miller and Schaal, 2006; Brown et al, 2009; Purugganan and Fuller, 2009; Provance et al, 2013). The main evolutionary force in domestication is artificial selection, but this force is influenced by both cultural and ecological factors.…”

Extending our understanding of landscape history to the long-term impacts of artificial selection at the species or population level would be valuable in both theoretical and applied botanical research. Multidisciplinary approaches integrating ecological data will be essential for investigation of the evolutionary implications of historical human selection in economic species and the potential for adaptive flexibility in reproductive systems of long-lived perennials.

Diospyros (Ebenaceae) está conformado por alrededor de 500 especies, 120 están en América y más de 20 en México. Su distribución es tropical y se sostiene que se originó en Gondwana occidental. Este estudio es un análisis de la distribución geográfica de 1 452 sitios de colecta de 20 especies integrados en Global Biodiversity Information Facility(GBIF),con unenfoquepanbiogeográfico;aplicando un método combinado para el análisis de trazos y dos análisis de parsimonia de endemismos asociados al mapa de regiones bioeográficas de México y al de tipos de vegetación. La distribución principal del género es en el centro y sur del país constituyendo un elemento típicamente neotropical. Utilizando los trazos individuales se obtuvieron dos nodos principales, el primero en el centro de Veracruz y el segundo en el nororiente de la península de Yucatán. El análisis de parsimonia agrupa a las provincias de Yucatán, Petén, Golfo de México, Depresión del Balsas, Costa del Pacífico, Sierra Madre Oriental, Eje Volcánico Transversal, Sierra Madre del Sur, Oaxaca y Altiplano Zacatecano-Potosino en un sólo grupo. Este grupo concuerda con el dominio Mesoamericano y Antillano y con el dominio Mexicano de Montaña o Zona de Transición Mexicana. El análisis de los sitios de presencia evidenció a los bosques tropicales como grupos basales. Los resultados soportan la tesis de su origen e ideas sobre su diversificación geográfica y biológica, involucrando eventos dispersalistas y vicariantes, relacionados con eventos geológicos como la formación del Eje Volcánico Transversal. La mayoría de estas especies son de amplia distribución ya que se encuentran en más de una provincia, siendo la Costa del Pacífico, el Golfo de México y el Eje Volcánico las que cuentan con mayor riqueza: 12 especies cada una. Se postula que Diospyros concuerda con la migración de especies de la región Neotropical hacia la Zona de Transición Mexicana.
