'''Convolvulaceae''', known commonly as the bindweed or [[morning glory]] [[family (biology)|family]], is a [[Family (biology)|family]] of about 60 genera and more than 1,650 species of mostly [[herbaceous]] [[vine]]s, but also [[tree]]s, [[shrub]]s and [[herb]]s.
 
 
 
== Description ==
 
Convolvulaceae can be recognized by their funnel-shaped, radially symmetrical [[corolla (flower)|corolla]]; the floral formula for the family has five [[sepals]], five fused [[petals]], five epipetalous [[stamens]] (stamens fused to the petals), and a two-part [[syncarpous]] and superior [[gynoecium]]. The stems of these plants are usually winding, hence their Latin name (from ''convolvere'', "to wind"). The leaves are simple and alternate, without [[stipule]]s. The fruit can be a capsule, berry, or nut, all containing only two seeds per one [[locule]] (one [[ovule]]/[[ovary]]).

The leaves and starchy, [[tuberous root]]s of some species are used as [[food]]stuffs (e.g. [[sweet potato]] and [[Ipomoea aquatica|water spinach]]), and the seeds are exploited for their medicinal value as [[purgative]]s. Some species contain [[ergoline]] [[alkaloids]] that are likely responsible for the use of these species as ingredients in [[psychedelic drug|psychedelic]] [[Psychoactive drugs|drugs]] (e.g. [[ololiuhqui]]). The presence of ergolines in some species of this family is due to infection by [[fungi]] related to the ergot fungi of the genus ''[[Claviceps]]''. A recent study of Convolvulaceae species, ''Ipomoea asarifolia'', and its associated [[fungi]] showed the presence of a fungus, identified by [[DNA sequencing]] of 18s and ITS [[ribosomal DNA]] and [[phylogeny|phylogenetic analysis]] to be closely related to fungi in the family [[Clavicipitaceae]], was always associated with the presence of ergoline alkaloids in the plant. The identified fungus appears to be a seed-transmitted, obligate [[biotroph]] growing [[epiphytic]]ally on its host.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Ulrike Steiner |author2=Mahalia A. Ahimsa-Müller |author3=Anne Markert |author4=Sabine Kucht |author5=Julia Groß |author6=Nicole Kauf |author7=Monika Kuzma |author8=Monika Zych |author9=Marc Lamshöft |author10=Miroslawa Furmanowa |year=2006 |title=Molecular characterization of a seed transmitted clavicipitaceous fungus occurring on dicotyledoneous plants (Convolvulaceae) |journal=[[Planta (journal)|Planta]] |volume=224 |issue=3 |pages=533–544 |pmid=16525783 |doi=10.1007/s00425-006-0241-0|display-authors=etal}}</ref> This finding strongly suggests the unique presence of ergoline alkaloids in some species of the family Convolvulaceae is due to [[symbiosis]] with [[Clavicipitaceae|clavicipitaceous]] fungi. Moreover, another group of compounds, [[loline alkaloids]], commonly produced by some members of the clavicipitaceous fungi (genus ''[[Neotyphodium]]''), has been identified in a convolvulaceous species, but the origin of the loline alkaloids in this species is unknown.<ref name="Tofern et al 1999">{{cite journal |author1=Britta Tofern |author2=Macki Kaloga |author3=Ludger Witte |author4=Thomas Hartmann |author5=Eckart Eich |year=1999 |title=Occurrence of loline alkaloids in ''Argyreia mollis'' (Convolvulaceae) |journal=[[Phytochemistry (journal)|Phytochemistry]] |volume=51 |issue=8 |pages=1177–1180 |doi=10.1016/S0031-9422(99)00121-1}}</ref>
 
 
 
Members of the family are well known as showy garden plants (e.g. [[morning glory]]) and as troublesome weeds (e.g. bindweed).
 
 
 
==Tribes==
 
According to the study of D. F. Austin (see Reference) the family Convolvulaceae can be classified in the tribes Ericybeae, Cresseae, Convolvuleae, merremioids, Ipomoeae, Argyreiae, Poraneae, Dichondreae, and Cuscuteae (sometimes classified as a separate family [[Cuscutaceae]]).
