How will you distinguish Solanaceae members from Liliaceae members.
Answer:

JSolanaceae (Dicot) Morphology

Liliaceae (Monocot) Morphology

Bulbous stem / rhizome / corm absent but stem tuber present eg. Solarium tuberosum Bulbous Stem – Lilium
Rhizome -Polygonatum
Corm – Colchicum Occur
Radical leaves Cariscup } Absent from roots Radical leaves present eg. Lilium
Leaves alternate & exstipulate Slipules absent exstipulate fleshy and hollow
Flowers – Pentamerous Flowers – Trimerous
Calyx_ – Persistent -Solanum melongena Calyx , Corolla – Absent
Corolla of various shapes present Perranth is only present
Stamens – 5 – Epipetalous Stamens – 6 – In a whorl of three each apostamenous
Carpels:

  1. Ovary superior
  2. bicarpellary, bilocular

Carpels oblipuely placed bicarpellary later become tetra carpellary due to the formation of false septa

Ovary superior tricarpellary trilocular
Fruits – Berry / capsule Fruits – Loculierdal capsula
Anatomy:
Bi-collateral Vascular Bundles occur
Cambium present Secondary growth present
Anatomy:

    Citation & submission of it is one of the criteria for valid publication of a botanical name
  2. Isotype: Duplicate of Holotypes
    • Same person on the same date with same field number
    • Reliable duplicates of holotype – to be distributed to various herbaria of various region
  3. Lectotype: Specimen selected from original material may serve as Lectotype when holotype is missing or destroyed
  4. Syntype: When the author cites more than one specimen in his Protologue without designating Holotype.
  5. Neotype: Specimen from the non-original collection when original
  6. Paratype: holotype missing or destroyed: specimen other than Holo, Iso, or Syntype
  7. Epitope: Specimen or illustration serves as an interpretive type when all the above types are ambiguous.

Question 4.
Give an account of APG classification
Answer:

  • Most recent classification of flowering plants
  • Done in last decade of 20th century
    Samacheer Kalvi 11th Bio Botany Chapter 5 Taxonomy and Systematic Botany 20
  • All these provide data with respect to DNA seqences of 2 chloroplast genes (extrachromosomal) (atp B and r bcL) and one nuclear gene (nuclear ribosomal 18 s DNA).

Question 6.
Define biosystematics & list out the aim of biosystematics.
Answer:
1. Biosystematics: Biosystematics is an “Experimental, ecological and cytotaxonomy” through which life forms are studied and their relationships are defined.
2. Aims of Biosystematics: The aims of biosystematics are as follows:

  • To delimit the naturally occurring biotic community of plant species.
  • To establish the evolution of a group of taxa by understanding the evolutionary and phylogenetic trends.
  • To involve any type of data gathering based on modem concepts and not only on morphology and anatomy.
  • To recognize the various groups as separate biosystematics categories such as ecotypes, ecospecies, cenospecies, and comparium.

Question 8.
Write down the uses of Herbarium
Answer:

  • Provides resource material for systematic research & studies
  • A place for the orderly arrangement of voucher specimens
  • Voucher specimen serves as a reference for comparing doubtful Newly collected fresh specimen
  • Voucher specimens play a role in
    • Studies like floristic diversity
    • Environmental assessment
    • Ecological mechanisms &
    • Survey of unexplored area
  • provides an opportunity for documenting biodiversity and studies related to the field of ecology & conservation biology.

Question 9.
Explain Chemotaxonomy
Answer:

  • Study of various chemicals available in plants help to solve the certain taxonomical problem
  • Chemotaxonomy scientific approach of classification of plants on the basis of their biochemical constituents
  • Proteins – (more controlled by genes less subjected to natural selection)
  • So used at all hierarchical level of classification starling from variety to division.
  • Other chemicals studied are – Amino acids, nucleic acids – peptides

Write down the significance of Molecular taxonomy
Answer:

  • Conserved molecular sequences helped to identify
    Samacheer Kalvi 11th Bio Botany Chapter 5 Taxonomy and Systematic Botany 23
  • DNA data help in – investigation of evolutionary patterns
  • DNA taxonomy – play vital role in, understanding
  • phytogeography – help in genome mapping & bio deversity Conservation
  • DNA based Molecular markers – used for designing DNA based molecular probes

Question 12.
What is DNA barcoding?
Answer:

  • A scanner like the UPC of supermarket things, – DNA barcoding is a taxonomical device to distinguish one species from another.
  • A very short genetic sequence from a standard part of a genome is used as a DNA tag or barcode to identify a plant
  • Paul Hebert proposed it and so-known as the Father of barcoding.

Question 13.
Significance of DNA barcoding.
Answer:

  • Helps in the identification and classification organism
  • Aids in the mapping the extend of bio-diversity
  • Eventhough it require a large data base of sequences for comparison & prior knowledge of the barcoding region, it is helpful tool to determine the authenticity of botanical material in whole, cut or powdered form.
