SEED MORPHOLOGY OF THE SUBFAMILY PITCAIRNIOIDEAE (BROMELIACEAE) AND ITS SYSTEMATIC IMPLICATIONS

American Journal of Botany, 1988
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations of seed samples of 75 species representing fourteen Pitcairnioideae genera combined with some seed developmental and germination data revealed six classes of seed morphology (the Dyckia type, Puya ferruginea type, Puya hamata type, Fosterella type, Navia type and the Brocchinia type).

Reproduction biology and chloroplast inheritance in Bromeliaceae: a case study in Fosterella (Pitcairnioideae)

Plant Systematics and Evolution, 2015
We applied a series of intra- and interspecific in situ cross-pollination experiments under greenhouse conditions to evaluate the breeding systems in four Fosterella species (Pitcairnioideae s.str.; Bromeliaceae). Viable hybrids were produced between each pair of the investigated species, suggesting that reproduction barriers may be low also under ...

A new Dyckia species (Bromeliaceae, Pitcairnioideae) from Brazilian Central-West region, Pantanal Mato-Grossense

Phytotaxa, 2018
A new species of Dyckia from  the municipality of Porto Murtinho, in the state Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil is described and illustrated here and compared with two of the closest related species known. Its conservation status is discussed.

A new Dyckia species (Bromeliaceae, Pitcairnioideae) from the Brazilian Northeastern region

Phytotaxa, 2014
A new species of Dyckia (Pitcairnioideae) is described and illustrated here. Dyckia piauiensis sp. nov. was found in the state of Piauí, in northern Brazil, in very dry Cerrado vegetation and cultivated by the first author. This new species’ closest relative is Dyckia pernambucana, but differs from it by its larger and retrorse spines, shorter ...

Phylogenetic analysis of Fosterella L.B. Sm. (Pitcairnioideae, Bromeliaceae) based on four chloroplast DNA regions

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2009
The about 31 species of Fosterella L.B. Sm. (Bromeliaceae) are terrestrial herbs with a centre of diversity in the central South American Andes. To resolve infra- and intergeneric relationships among Fosterella and their putative allies, we conducted a phylogenetic analysis based on sequence data from four chloroplast DNA regions (matK gene, rps16 ...

Puya raimondii (Pitcairnioideae, Bromeliaceae) and birds: an hypothesis on nutrient relationships

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1980
We recorded observations on the relationships between Puya raimondii and the associated bird community in a dry grassland habitat in the high Andean plateau (altiplano or puna) of southeast Peru. From field evidence, we hypothesize that P. raimondii benefits from its association with birds through enhanced nutrient supply. Both bird droppings and dead

Embryo and endosperm development in Pitcairnia encholirioides (Pitcairnioideae – Bromeliaceae): An endangered species of the Atlantic Forest

Flora: Morphologie, Geobotanik, Oekophysiologie, 2018
Pitcairnia encholirioides is a threatened species endemic to the inselbergs of the Atlantic Forest. The study of the embryogenesis and endospermogenesis of Pitcairnia encholirioides aims to the establish guidelines for its in vitro propagation.

Development of 15 nuclear microsatellite markers in the genus Dyckia (Pitcairnioideae; Bromeliaceae) using 454 pyrosequencing

Conservation Genetics Resources, 2012
The genus Dyckia (Bromeliaceae) comprises 147 species that are distributed in Brazil and adjacent countries. Many species are rare and narrow endemics. We used 454 pyrosequencing to isolate 1,587 microsatellite loci in Dyckia marnier-lapostollei. Of 50 loci that were selected for primer design, 15 markers proved to be polymorphic in five populations ...
