Analyses of morphology and flowering in light of the phylogeny
of the genus
The Evolution of the Reproductive Organs of Maples
Dr. Piet C. de Jong
(Von Gimborn Arboretum, Doorn, The Netherlands)
These slides were originally originally prepared in 2014, for a lecture to be given at the International Maple Symposium at the Morris Arboretum. This 2020 edition was prepared for the Maple Society Open Science Initiative by Emery Davis but contains only minor changes so that the slides will stand alone more clearly. A limited glossary was also added at the end in order to address a wider public.. All slides are copyright 2020 Piet C. de Jong and the Maple Society. Unauthorized distribution is prohibited.
4
Female flowers in Acer
• Male sterility
• Competition with developing carpels cause anthers to
remain closed and filaments to not elongate
Acer platanoides
Acer rubrum
5
Carpel abortion of male flowers before the female phase
• Cause: Competition for nutrients from the developing inflorescences (original mode)
Aesculus parviflora
Left : 2 month before floweringreduced inflorescence
Right: inflorescence near the endof flowering
6
Carpel abortion of male flowers before the female phase
• Detached branches of protandrous flowering trees of a number of species were indoor forced into flower, starting in december.
• They all flowered protogynous (female→male).
• Forcing in later month showed on various moments a change to protandry (male→female).
• This change occured very late in Acer davidii subsp. grosseri and Acer maximowiczianum.

Aesculus parviflora(more and earlier appearing bisexual flowers )

The effect of early removal of buds of female flowers in protogynous flowering trees of Acer
pseudoplatanus
• Removal shortly after leaf break resulted in a larger number of female flowers than in the entire inflorescense
• This effect decreased after removal on following days
• Example Acer pseudoplatanus ‘Corstorphinense’
• Between 20 April and 5 May in 1971 largest buds removed from 8-17 inflorescences
• Treatment 20-24 April resulted in 12.2-14.6 female flowers
• Treatment 25-27 April resulted in 2.6-9.1 female flowers
• Treatment 28 April to 5 May resulted in 0.3-1.1 female flowers
• No treatment resulted in 8.8 female flowers
(abstract of Table 22 in Flowering and Sex Expression in Acer L.)
11
Heterodichogamy
• Protandry: male→ female
• Difference with the original duodichogamous mode of flowering is the early abortion of the carpels
• Protogyny: female→ male
• By contrast there is no carpel abortion in the oldest flower buds
Acer platanoides
12
Heterodichogamy
• Most frequent mode of flowering in Acer
• Besides protandry (male→female) often duodichogamy (male→female→male) especially in case of large inflorescences
• Section Acer series Acer and Saccharodendron
• Section Ginnala
• Section Palmata
• Section Pentaphylla
• Section Platanoidea
• Section Pubescentia

16
Androdioecy
• Part of the population is protogynous: female→male
• Remaining plants have male flowers and rarely female flowers (protandry)
• Carpel abortion very early after flower induction leading to very small rudimentary carpels
• Relatively small number of flowers
Section Glabra
Section Acer series Monspessulana
Section Hyptiocarpa
Section Rubra (p.p.) Acer saccharinumAcer sempervirens
17
Dioecy
• Female flowers with or without rudimentary stamens
• Male flowers with very small rudimentary carpels
Section Arguta
Section Cissifolia
Section Indivisa
Section Lithocarpa (occasionaly
some protandrous inflorescences)
Section Negundo
Section Rubra (p.p.) Acer rubrumFemale flower, Section Lithocarpa
19
Acer griseum
• Labile sex
• Inflorescences mainly male or female
• Trees genetically are protandrous or protogynous
Acer griseum

Pollination
1. Entomophily: Insect pollination, original mode
2. Ambophily: both insect- and wind- pollination; drooping inflorescenses and flowers; flowers with protruding anthers and large stigmas.
3. Anemophily: Wind pollination, as well as the ambophilous characteristics, loss of discs and loss of anthers in female flowers; complete dioecy
23
AnemophilyWind pollination
• Drooping inflorescences
• Large stigmas
• Loss of disc and petals
• Section Negundo, series Negundo
Acer negundo, male inflorescense Acer negundo, female inflorescense
24
Evolution of inflorescences
• Reduction of size
• Shift to axillary buds and leafless shoots
• Loss of scorpioid structure
• Reduction to racemes and umbels
• Shift from erect to drooping
25

Maple phylogeny and biogeography inferred from phylogenomic data, Li et al, 2019
The Authors Conclude:
“… the first study that has resolved the basal relationships of Acer using DNA sequence data from over 500 nuclear loci generated via the anchored hybrid enrichment method.
All of the sections sensu de Jong (2004) [2002 ed.] are supported except for section Pentaphylla, which is paraphyletic containing section Trifoliata, while few of the sectional groups as proposed by other previous researchers are monophyletic. ...”
