RULES AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ICBN Notes Part 3

-
Rule 1: The ICBN suggests the series of ranks and names in the hierarchical categories. These ranks are designated in the descending order as Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.


Rule 2: The second rule states that the names must be established concerning the nomenclature type. It is classified in a single specimen or the plants on one herbarium sheet. It is to be noted that the type specimen is of various types, including holotype, lectotype, neotype, Syntype, isotype, and paratype.

Rule 3: This rule throws light on the fact that priority is given to the date of publication of the name. It also ensures that the name is legitimate and is approved and valid by the principal rules of the international code of botanical nomenclature.

Rule 4: During the publishing of the name, it must be ensured that the name of the taxa meets the code requirements. It should be published in a recognized journal rather than a local magazine or newspaper. The name should have a Latin description, and it must be under the code’s guidelines.

Rule 5: According to article no. 46, it is required for the author’s name to be published with the name of the taxonomic group. If a single author is responsible for the naming, it falls under the single author citation. In contrast, if more than one author is involved in the naming, it falls under double author citation. 

Rule 6: Some names do not follow the rule of ICBN, but they are still used for identification purposes based on the fact that they have been used for a long time.

Rule 7: During the naming, the priority for publishing the name will be given to the one who will publish earlier. It is to be noted that only one name can be accepted for a particular taxon.

CONCLUSION

The intent of the international code of botanical nomenclature has always been dependent on the fact a single taxonomic name is accepted and used for identification all over the world regardless of any situation. There are various principles, rules, and regulations which ensure that the need to study various plant species and others belonging to the taxa is being made easier by this wide acceptance. All the steps are thus taken under the governance of the code.

MODE OF REPRODUCTION IN FUNGI (PART-2) Asexual Reproduction

-
Image
 1. Asexual Reproduction The reproduction by spores, is called asexual reproduction . The spores are minute cells that serve as reproductive propagules. Spore production is the most common method of reproduction in fungi. There are four types of asexual spores. They are: 1. Conidia 2. Sporangiospores (Endospores) 3. Chlamydospores 4. Arthospores 1. Conidia (singular-Conidium) a. Conidium is a spore formed freely at the tip or side of hypha.  b. Specialized hyphae having such spores are called conidiophores .  c. The tip of conidiophore swells out and produces a spe-cial cell called sterigma (Plural., Sterigmata).  d. The tip of sterigmata cuts off rounded cells called conidia one by one.  e. The conidia germinate and give rise to new mycelia 2. Sporangiospore a. Sp orangiospore or endospore is a spore formed within a sporangium (plural.,sporangia).  b . A sporangium is a sac-like structure within which asexual spores are produced Specialized hyphae havi...

MODE OF REPRODUCTION IN FUNGI (Part-3) Sexual Reproduction

-
Image
1. Sexual Reproduction a. The sexual reproduction involves the union of male and female gametes or two gametangia  b. It has three distinct phases. They are plasmogamy, karyogamy and meiosis. c. The plasmogamy refers to the fusion of two protoplasts that brings two haploid nucle together. d. As a result of plasmogamy a cell containing two haploid nuclei is formed.  e. This cell is known as binucleate cell or dikaryotic cell.  f. The two nuclei residing in that cell are known as a dikaryon.  g. Plasmogamy may be carried out either by gametic union or gametangial contact. h. The next phase is the karyogamy . During karyogamy the two haploid nuclei in a dikaryotic cell fuse together and form diploid nucleus (2N).  I. This nucleus is called a synkaryon . This phase lasts for a short time. It is also known as diplophase. j. Meiosis is the third phase in the sexual reproduction. The diploid nucleus undergoes re-duction division and gives rise to four haploid nucl...

Image
Oedogonium Class : Chlorophyceae Order : Odogoniales Family : Odogoniaceae Genus : Oedogonium Oedogonium is a green alga. It is placed in the class Chlorophyceae. This genus was named by Link . Occurrence Oedogonium is widely distributed in freshwater habitats such as ponds, lakes, tanks, mers , etc. The mature filaments are free-floating but the younger ones are attached. They are found attached to stones, woods and to large algae and aquatic angiosperms . There are about 285 species in Oedogonium. Of these, 144 species are found in India . The common Indian species are: Oedogonium nodulosum ,  Oedogonium fragile ,  Oedogonium aquaticum ,  Oedogonium gracilius . Structure Oedogonium is a unbranched filamentous green alga. It is included in the class Chlorophyceae.  It is cosmopolitan in distribution. The plant is a haploid gametophyte . It is a freshwater alga. It is an attached form. It is a filamentous alga. The thallus consists of a long filament and a holdfast...
