Circumscription and lectotypification of Hedychium villosum and its variety H. villosum var. tenuiflorum (Zingiberaceae).

ABSTRACT: The nomenclatural confusion between the Indian gingers Hedychium villosum Wallich and its variety Hedychium villosum var. tenuiflorum (Wall. ex Voigt) Wall. ex Baker is discussed. Both taxa are lectotypified in order to stabilize the names and contribute towards a resolution of their confusing nomenclatural past. Both taxa are described in detail to aid identification.

Project description:BackgroundAmomum villosum Lour. is the plant that produces the famous traditional Chinese medicine Amomi Fructus. Frequent habitat destruction seriously threatens A. villosum germplasm resources. Genetic diversity is very important to the optimization of germplasm resources and population protection, but the range of inherited traits within A. villosum is unclear. In this study, we analyzed the genetic diversity and genetic structures of A. villosum populations in Guangdong and constructed a local reference DNA barcode library as a resource for conservation efforts.MethodsDNA barcoding and Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers were used to investigate the population genetics of A. villosum. Five universal DNA barcodes were amplified and used in the construction of a DNA barcode reference library. Parameters including percentage of polymorphic sites (PPB), number of alleles (Na), effective number of alleles (Ne), Nei's gene diversity index (H), and Shannon's polymorphism information index (I) were calculated for the assessment of genetic diversity. Genetic structure was revealed by measuring Nei's gene differentiation coefficient (Gst), total population genetic diversity (Ht), intra-group genetic diversity (Hs), and gene flow (Nm). Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), Mantel tests, unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) dendrogram, and principal co-ordinates (PCoA) analysis were used to elucidate the genetic differentiation and relationship among populations.ResultsA total of 531 sequences were obtained from the five DNA barcodes with no variable sites from any of the barcode sequences. A total of 66 ISSR bands were generated from A. villosum populations using the selected six ISSR primers; 56 bands, 84.85% for all the seven A. villosum populations were polymorphic. The A. villosum populations showed high genetic diversity (H = 0.3281, I = 0.4895), whereas the gene flow was weak (Nm = 0.6143). Gst (0.4487) and AMOVA analysis indicated that there is obvious genetic differentiation amongA. villosum populations and more genetic variations existed within each population. The genetic relationship of each population was relatively close as the genetic distances were between 0.0844 and 0.3347.
