By any other name would smell so sweet.”

Note: For selection to work, there must be variation, and it must
be heritable
- mutations (natural and induced)

Polyploidy continued
“Odd” polyploids (3x, 5x, 7x) – usually sterile
- advantage for seedless fruit

“Odd” polyploids (3x, 5x, 7x) – usually sterile
- advantage for seedless fruit
“Even” polyploids (4x, 6x, 8x) – often fertile
- organs can be larger, including fruits, seeds

Inbreeding
Most Plants are Outcrossing – gametes from different individuals
Inbreeding
Most Plants are Outcrossing – gametes from different individuals
Some plants, particularly weeds and crop plants, are inbreeding
- self-fertilization
- self-compatibility
Inbreeding
Most Plants are Outcrossing – gametes from different individuals
Some plants, particularly weeds and crop plants, are inbreeding
- self-fertilization
- self-compatibility
Forced Inbreeding:
- increased homozygosity
- inbreeding depression

- need to produce new seed each year
Asexual Reproduction
Asexual Reproduction  new plants identical to parent (clones)

Applications of Asexual Reproduction:
- vegetative propagation (cuttings, rhizome pieces etc.)
- grafting

Principles of Botanical Names
1. Publication – name must be properly published according to
rules of International Code of Botanical Nomenclature
Principles of Botanical Names
1. Publication – name must be properly published according to
rules of International Code of Botanical Nomenclature
2. Type method – each name is associated with a physical
plant specimen (= type specimen)
Principles of Botanical Names
1. Publication – name must be properly published according to
rules of International Code of Botanical Nomenclature
2. Type method – each name is associated with a physical
plant specimen (= type specimen)
3. Priority – Oldest properly published name is correct one
Example – Rule of Priority leads to
Change in Plant Name
Wyethia trilobata
Example – Rule of Priority leads to
Change in Plant Name
Wyethia trilobata
 Complaya trilobata
Complaya – published in 1991
Example – Rule of Priority leads to
Change in Plant Name
Wyethia trilobata
 Complaya trilobata
 Thelechitonia trilobata
Complaya – published in 1991
Thelechitonia – published in 1954
Example – Rule of Priority leads to
Change in Plant Name
Wyethia trilobata
 Complaya trilobata
 Thelechitonia trilobata
 Sphagneticola trilobata
Complaya – published in 1991
Thelechitonia – published in 1954
Sphagneticola – published in 1900
Example – Change in Circumscription of Genus leads to changes in plant names
Chrysanthemum s.l. (ca 100 species)
“Ox-eye Daisy”
“Mums”
Example – Change in Circumscription of Genus leads to changes in plant names
Chrysanthemum s.s. (3 species)
Leucanthemum
Dendranthemum
Categories within Species
Variation also occurs within species, in some cases it is significant
enough to be recognized by scientists:
1. Wild species – varieties or subspecies. Both names are written
in Latin and follow similar rules as for species names
Used to designate geographic races or morphologically distinct
populations adapted to particular local ecological conditions
Cultivar Names
2. Variation within cultivated plants
- “variety” – widely (and still) used
- cultivar (cultivated variety)
Used to denote an assemblage of cultivated plants that is
clearly distinguished by some character(s) and that following
reproduction retains its distinguishing character(s)
Cultivar name is written in any language except for Latin
Cultivar name can be combined with a generic, specific, or
common name:
Citrullus cv. Crimson Sweet;
watermelon cv. Crimson Sweet;
Citrullus lanatus cv. Crimson Sweet
A Rose by Any Other Name …?
Cannabis sativa and the law
Most Botanists:
Cannabis has 1 species, C. sativa
A Rose by Any Other Name …?
Cannabis sativa and the law
Most Botanists:
Cannabis has 1 species, C. sativa
Some botanists recognize 3 species:
C. sativa (hemp, cultivated for rope)
C. ruderalis (wild form, weed)
C. indica (high THC-form)
A Rose by Any Other Name …?
Cannabis sativa and the law
Most Botanists:
Cannabis has 1 species, C. sativa
Some botanists recognize 3 species:
C. sativa (hemp, cultivated for rope)
C. ruderalis (wild form, weed)
C. indica (high THC-form)
Laws: originally proscribe marijuana (C. sativa)  argument that
defendant not literally breaking law

regardless of what it is called by scientists
