Revision of Polygonatum (Asparagaceae, Nolinoideae, Polygonateae) of Taiwan.

Project description:Polygonatum is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere, especially in eastern Asia. There has been no comprehensive taxonomic study of Taiwanese taxa for some time, and researchers could not agree on a consistent treatment of the genus. Therefore, we revised the genus by literature review and type specimen examination along with comparison of morphology, karyotype and pollen characteristics. Only one species P.arisanense Hayata was recognized in this study. P.chingshuishanianum Ying and P.formosanum (Hayata) Masamune & Simada are regarded as varieties of P.arisanense and are here presented as two new combinations, P.arisanensevar.chingshuishanianum and P.arisanensevar.formosanum.

Complete plastome sequence of Dracaena cambodiana (Asparagaceae): a species considered "Vulnerable" in Southeast Asia.

Project description:Dracaena cambodiana (Asparagaceae) is a treelike plant ranging from 3 to 10 m tall. It grows in low-elevation forests (0-300 m) having dry and sandy soils. It is distributed in Southern Hainan Island in China and other Southeast Asian countries (e.g. Cambodia, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam). The dried resin can be used medicinally as a substitute for that of Dracaena cochinchinensis. It has been ranked as a Vulnerable (VU) species in China. Here we report and characterize the complete plastid genome sequence of D. cambodiana. The complete plastome is 156,697?bp in length. It contains the typical structure and gene content of angiosperm plastomes, including two Inverted Repeat (IR) regions of 26,526?bp, a Large Single-Copy (LSC) region of 84,988?bp and a Small Single-Copy (SSC) region of 18,657?bp. The plastome contains 113 genes, consisting of 76 unique protein-coding genes, 30 unique tRNA genes, four unique rRNA genes and three pseudogenes (i.e. matK, infA, ndhF). The overall A/T content in the plastome of D. cambodiana is 62.4%. We performed phylogenetic analyses using the entire plastome, including spacers, introns, etc., and we determined that D. cambodiana and Maianthemum bicolor were closely related. The complete plastome sequence of D. cambodiana will provide a useful resource for the conservation genetics of this species as well as for phylogenetic studies in Asparagales.

Novel species of Pestalotiopsis fungi on Dracaena from Thailand.

Project description:A survey of the diversity and distribution of microfungi on Dracaena leaf litter in Songkhla Province (Thailand) yielded two collections of pestalotiopsis-like fungi. Analyses of a combined ITS, TEF1-α and TUB2 sequence data matrix were applied to infer the phylogenetic position of these new isolates in Pestalotiopsis. The phylogenies indicated that these two isolates were monophyletic and constituted a distinct lineage that perceived a taxonomic novelty in Pestalotiopsis. This clade shared a close phylogenetic affinity with P. adusta, P. krabiensis, P. pandanicola and P. papuana. The comparison of morphological features with the phylogenetically closely related taxa are given and the new species is introduced as Pestalotiopsis dracaenicola sp. nov. with comprehensive descriptions and illustrations herein.

The Deep Evolutionary Relationships of the Morphologically Heterogeneous Nolinoideae (Asparagaceae) Revealed by Transcriptome Data.

Project description:The subfamily Nolinoideae of Asparagaceae is an extremely morphologically heterogeneous group, which is comprised of seven lineages, formerly known as Eriospermaceae, Polygonateae, Ophiopogoneae, Convallarieae, Ruscaceae s.s., Dracaenaceae, and Nolinaceae from different families or even orders. Their drastically divergent morphologies and low level of molecular resolution have hindered our understanding on their evolutionary history. To resolve reliable and clear phylogenetic relationships of the Nolinoideae, a phylogenetic study was conducted based on transcriptomic sequencing of 15 species representing all the seven lineages. A dataset containing up to 2,850,331 sites across 2,126 genes was analyzed using both concatenated and coalescent methods. Except for Eriospermum as outgroup, the transcriptomic data strongly resolved the remaining six lineages into two groups, one is a paraphyletic grade including the woody lineages of dracaenoids, ruscoids, and nolinoids and a monophyletic herbaceous clade. Within the herbaceous group, the Ophiopogoneae + Theropogon is sister to a clade that is composed of Convallarieae and the monophyletic Polygonateae. Our work provides a first robust deep relationship of the highly heterogeneous Nolinoideae and paves the way for further investigations of its complex evolution.

The complete plastid genome sequence of Dracaena fragrans (L.) Ker Gawl. (Asparagaceae).

Project description:Dracaena fragrans is a shrub native to tropical Africa classified in the family Asparagaceae. It is a common horticultural plant grown as a hedge as well as an ornamental house plant for its green leaves, attractive shape and fragrant flowers. The species has been used for many medicinal purposes including inducing labor, treating malnutrition and fighting illness. Here, we investigated the complete plastid genome of D. fragrans using Illumina 150 bp next-generation sequencing technologies. De novo assembly and annotation showed that the chloroplast genome is a typical quadripartite structure with 37.5% GC content. A pair of inverted repeats (IRs, 26,507 bp each) were separated by one large single-copy region (LSC, 83,703 bp) and one small single-copy region (SSC, 18,466 bp). The chloroplast genome is 155,183 bp in length and contained 131 genes of which 12 are intron-containing genes, comprising 85 protein-coding, 38 tRNA, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis of D. fragrans and 11 plastomes obtained from GenBank shows that it is closely related to D. elliptica.

A new species and two new combinations of Monolophus (Zingiberaceae) from Indo-Burma.

Project description:Monolophus odontochilus Y.H.Tan & H.B.Ding, a new species from Northern Myanmar, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to M. linearis, but differs by having elliptic to oblong leaves (vs. linear-lanceolate to lanceolate), bilobed ligules (vs. entire), purely white corolla (vs. pinkish white), semi-orbicular crenate labellum (vs. trilobed). In addition, a diagnostic key to the new species of Monolophus and its closely related non-yellow flowered species is provided. New combinations are proposed here for Caulokaempferia phokhamii Picheans. & Douangde. and C. wongsuwaniae Picheans. & Douangde. from Laos.

Data of de novo assembly and annotation of transcriptome from Aspidistra fenghuangensis (Asparagaceae: Nolinoideae).

Project description:Aspidistra is a large genus of herbaceous plants with more than 130 species growing in tropical forests of SE Asia and specially diversified in southern China and northern Vietnam. The genus is characterized by its evergreen understorey habitats with flowers set at ground level and more or less hidden in litter material. Aspidistra fenghuangensis is a species currently only known from central China. In recent years, number of species in this genus has been greatly increased. However, the high throughput sequencing data have never been reported in this genus. Here, we sequenced the transcriptome of A. fenghuangensis obtained from young leaves using the Illumina HiSeq2000 with 9.15Gb of clean data. Because of the absence of a reference-grade genome in the genus, a de novo assembly of the transcriptome data with full annotation have been carried out. This data is accessible via NCBI BioProject (PRJNA608213).

Phylogeny and biogeography of Maianthemum (Asparagaceae: Nolinoideae) revisited with emphasis on its divergence pattern in SW China.

Project description:Maianthemum is a genus with more than 35 species from the tribe Polygonateae (Asparagaceae), widely distributed between North to Central Americas and eastern Asia with high diversity in the eastern Himalayas to the Hengduan Mountains of SW China. Although most species from SW China form a well-supported clade, phylogenetic relationships within this clade remain unclear. With a broad level of taxon sampling and an extensive character sampling from eight DNA regions, this study intends to revisit the phylogeny and biogeography of the genus to better understand the divergence patterns of species from SW China. Phylogenetic results suggested the monophyly of Maianthemum with recognition of nine strongly supported clades, but backbone relationships among these clades remained largely uncertain. For the SW China clade, individuals from the same species are grouped into different lineages. Our results revealed that the fast radiation of the SW China clade was occurred in the eastern Himalayas, followed by subsequent radiation in the Hengduan Mountains in the Pliocene. Intercontinental disjunctions of Maianthemum in the Northern Hemisphere appear to have occurred multiple times during the late Miocene to the Pliocene, likely resulted by a combination of both vicariance and long-distance dispersal events.
