New record of nuclear DNA amounts of some Zingiberaceae species from North east India.

ABSTRACT: Members of the family Zingiberaceae are important medicinal plants and have great economic significance. Some taxonomic issues are still pending within the family and the genome size estimates of many species are still very scarce. Therefore, studies concerning genome size can provide complementary data that may be useful to characterize the family on whole. Genome size estimate have been used to characterize four Northeast Indian taxa of the family Zingiberaceae occurring in the wild in addition to that of a sacred cultivated species. In this data article we have provided genome size estimates of four species based on flow cytometry for the first time. This data will be valuable for genomic and molecular authentication of these species for all future studies.

DNA barcodes for delineating Clerodendrum species of North East India.

Project description:The diversified genus of Clerodendrum with its complex evolutionary history leads to taxonomic mystification. Unlike traditional taxonomic methods, DNA barcoding could be a promising tool for the identification and conservation of Clerodendrum species. This study was attempted to develop an efficient barcode locus in Clerodendrum species of North East India. We evaluated four barcode candidates (ITS2, matK, rbcL, ycf1) and its combinations in different Clerodendrum species. The reliability of barcodes to distinguish the species were calculated using genetic pairwise distances, intra- and inter-specific diversity, barcode gap, and phylogenetic tree-based methods. The results exemplify that matK posse's maximum number of variables and parsimony-informative sites (103/100), intra- (0.021 ± 0.001) and inter- (0.086 ± 0.005) specific divergences and species resolution rate (89.1%) followed by ITS2, ycf1, and rbcL. Among the combinatorial locus, ITS2 + matK showed the best species discrimination with distinctive barcode gaps. Therefore, we tentatively suggest that the combination of ITS2 + matK as core barcode for Clerodendrum and converted into quick response (QR) code. Hence, this finding indicates that DNA barcoding could provide consistent resources for species discrimination and resolve taxonomic controversies of the genus as well as set a preliminary assessment toward its biodiversity.

Amomum nilgiricum VP.Thomas & M.Sabu, sp. nov. shows similarity with Amomum masticatorium Thwaites in having long drying ligule with an acuminate apex, pubescent anther and echinate capsules, but differs in clump forming habit with non-stoloniferous rhizomes, tomentose lamina beneath, long corolla tube, obovate to rhomboid labellum with clefted apex and without any colour design, emarginate anther crest and reduced staminodes. Detailed description, illustration, photographs, conservation status, and distributional details are provided.

A new Haniffia species (Zingiberaceae) and a new generic record from Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo.

Project description:BackgroundHaniffia Holttum is a genus of three described species of terrestrial gingers hitherto restricted to Peninsular Thailand and various localities in Peninsular Malaysia.ResultsWith generic placement confirmed using nrITS, trn K and mat K plastid sequence data, Haniffia santubongensis S.Y. Wong & P.C. Boyce is described as a taxonomically novel species representing a new generic record for Borneo, to where it is endemic to Mount Santubong, Kuching Division, NW Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. An identification key to all species is given and H. santubongensis is illustrated from living plants.ConclusionHaniffia santubongensis is the fourth species of Haniffia so far described, and the first occurring on sandstone.

Chordodes mizoramensis (Nematomorpha, Gordiida), a new species of horsehair worm from Mizoram, North-East India.

Project description:Chordodes mizoramensis, a new species of freshwater gordiid horsehair worm, is described from Mizoram, NE India on the basis of scanning electron microscopic and morphometric studies. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners in that the apical filaments of the crowned areoles are branched several times, a pattern that has not been observed in other species. An additional distinguishing character is that it has more bulging areoles, which are distributed among simple areoles alone or in groups, do not form clear patterns.

<i>Hedychiumziroense</i> (Zingiberaceae), a new species of ginger lily from Northeast India.

Project description:We describe Hedychiumziroense sp. nov. from Northeast India (NE India) which was discovered during one of our recent botanical explorations in Arunachal Pradesh. We provide detailed morphological comparison of this species with four other Hedychium species (H.griersonianum R.M.Sm., H.ellipticum Buch.-Ham. ex Sm., H.gomezianum Wall. and H.yunnanense Gagnep.), with which it shares some morphological similarities. The new species is characterised by a dense cylindrical spike, pubescent rachis, folded bracts, 2-3 flowers per cincinnus, deeply cleft labellum and a distinctive late monsoonal flowering phenology from August to September.

New host record of five Flavobacterium species associated with tropical fresh water farmed fishes from North India.

Project description:Yellow pigmented, filamentous, Gram-negative bacteria belonging to genus Flavobacterium are commonly associated with infections in stressed fish. In this study, inter-species diversity of Flavobacterium was studied in apparently healthy freshwater farmed fishes. For this, ninety one yellow pigmented bacteria were isolated from skin and gill samples (n = 38) of three farmed fish species i.e. Labeo rohita, Catla catla and Cyprinus carpio. Among them, only twelve bacterial isolates (13.18%) were identified as Flavobacterium spp. on the basis of morphological, biochemical tests, partial 16S rDNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. On the basis of 16S rDNA gene sequencing, all the 12 isolates were 97.6-100% similar to six different formally described species of genus Flavobacterium. The 16S rDNA based phylogenetic analysis grouped these strains into six different clades. Of the 12 isolates, six strains (Fl9S1-6) grouped with F. suncheonense, two strains (Fl6I2, Fl6I3) with F. indicum and the rest four strains (Fl1A1, Fl2G1, Fl3H1 and Fl10T1) clustered with F. aquaticum, F. granuli, F. hercynium and F. terrae, respectively. None of these species except, F. hercynium were previously reported from fish. All the isolated Flavobacterium species possessed the ability of adhesion and biofilm formation to colonize the external surface of healthy fish. The present study is the first record of tropical freshwater farmed fishes as hosts to five environmentally associated species of the Flavobacterium.

Gene expression profile analysis of non small cell lung cancer in North East India

Project description:The objective of this study was to identify the genes differentially expressed in non small cell lung carcinoma associated with prevalent risk factor such as smoking and betel quid chewing in high-risk north eastern Indian population. The tumor biopsies and matched normal tissue from distant site were collected in RNA later, snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -70°C until processed. Data of clinicopathologic parameters were obtained from patients’ clinical and pathologic report. Institutional human ethics committee approved the study. Total RNA was isolated from tumor biopsies and matched normal of five patients. Total RNA from normal tissue from three patients was pooled in one slide and normal tissue from another two patients was pooled in another slide. Individual slide were used for each tumor samples. Isolation Kit: RNeasy mini Kit (Qiagen) Scanner Used: AFFYMETRIX, 428 Array

Nuclear DNA amounts in Macaronesian angiosperms.

Project description:Nuclear DNA contents for 104 Macaronesian angiosperms, with particular attention on Canary Islands endemics, were analysed using propidium iodide flow cytometry. Prime estimates for more than one-sixth of the whole Canarian endemic flora (including representatives of 11 endemic genera) were obtained. The resulting 1C DNA values ranged from 0.19 to 7.21 pg for Descurainia bourgeauana and Argyranthemum frutescens, respectively (about 38-fold difference). The majority of species, however, possessed (very) small genomes, with C-values <1.6 pg. The tendency towards small nuclear DNA contents and genome sizes was confirmed by comparing average values for Macaronesian and non-Macaronesian representatives of individual families, genera and major phylogenetic lineages. Our data support the hypothesis that the insular selection pressures in Macaronesia favour small C-values and genome sizes. Both positive and negative correlations between infrageneric nuclear DNA amount variation and environmental conditions on Tenerife were also found in several genera.
