HARDLY A RELICT: FREEZING AND THE EVOLUTION OF VESSELLESS WOOD IN WINTERACEAE

open access: yesEvolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 2002
The Winteraceae are traditionally regarded as the least-specialized descendents of the first flowering plants, based largely on their lack of xylem vessels. Since vessels have been viewed as a key innovation for angiosperm diversification, Winteraceae have been portrayed as declining relicts, limited to wet forest habitats where their tracheid-based ...

Pharmacological and toxicological studies of Drimys angustifolia Miers. (Winteraceae)

open access: yesJournal of Ethnopharmacology, 2007
Drimys angustifolia Miers. (Winteraceae) is a Brazilian medicinal plant used as analgesic, antiulcer and anti-inflammatory without studies to assure its efficacy and safety Leaf and stem bark extracts were evaluated to determine the antiulcer, analgesic, antiinflammatory and antioxidant activities.

Molecular dating of Winteraceae reveals a complex biogeographical history involving both ancient Gondwanan vicariance and long‐distance dispersal

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, 2014
Aim: Our aim was to implement a molecular dating analysis and assess divergence times among taxa of Winteraceae. This enabled us to test hypotheses of vicariance versus long-distance dispersal to explain intercontinental disjunctions in the family ...

The First Record of Fossil Wood of Winteraceae from the Upper Cretaceous of Antarctica

open access: yesAnnals of Botany, 2000
Fossil wood of the Winteraceae from the Upper Cretaceous sediments of James Ross Island, Antarctic Peninsula, is described here for the first time. The specimen is characterized by the absence of vessels, rays of two distinct sizes and tracheids with one–

Leaf flavonoid patterns in the winteraceae

Phytochemistry, 1982
Abstract In a leaf flavonoid survey of 59 specimens of the Winteraceae and related families, representing nine genera, luteolin 7,3′-dimethyl ether (in 77%) and flavonols (in 81%) were found to be major constituents. Indeed the high incidence of luteolin 7,3′-dimethyl ether chemically isolates the family from all other angiosperm groups, including ...

Generic relationships and dating of lineages in Winteraceae based on nuclear (ITS) and plastid (rpS16 and psbA-trnH) sequence data

open access: yesMolecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2009
Phylogenetic analyses of representative species from the five genera of Winteraceae (Drimys, Pseudowintera, Takhtajania, Tasmannia, and Zygogynum s.l.) were performed using ITS nuclear sequences and a combined data-set of ITS + psbA-trnH + rpS16 ...

Cytotoxic sesquiterpenoids from Winteraceae of Caledonian rainforest

Phytochemistry, 2009
One secobutanolide, two butanolides and six drimane sesquiterpenoids were isolated from the bark and leaves of Zygogynum pancheri and Zygogynum acsmithii (Winteraceae) along with six known drimanes, isodrimanial, 1beta-O-p-methoxy-E-cinnamoyl-bemadienolide, 7-ketoisodrimenin, drimenin, polygodial and 1beta-E-cinnamoyl-6alpha-hydroxypolygodial.
