In this study, we describe Lilium huanglongense , a newly-discovered lily species identified following extensive surveys in an undeveloped area of the Huanglong National Nature Reserve Sichuan, China. This region, located Hengduan Mountains south-western China, is recognised as one world’s prominent biodiversity hotspots, providing diverse habitats for wide range plant species. Morphologically, L. resembles fargesii Franch., which distributed central well other tepal-recurved members section...
Abstract While most temperate plants probably underwent glacial constriction to refugia and interglacial expansion, another type of might have existed maintain alpine during warm periods. To test this hypothesis, we applied phylogeographic methods 763 individuals (62 populations) which belong 7 taxonomically difficult species the Rosa sericea complex distributed in regions subtropical zones eastern Asia. We used three chloroplast (cp) DNA fragments ( trn L- F, ndh F- rpl 32 J -trn F)...
The former genus Nomocharis , which has been merged as a clade within the Lilium (Liliaceae), represents one of most complicated and unclear groups included in latter. Research on members quite limited due to sampling difficulties caused by its selective environmental preferences. In this study, we propose new species clade, liangiae further bridge connecting with other Lilium. We conducted morphological clustering, phylogenetic, comparative genomics analyses nuclear internal spacers newly...
A new species, Lilium evansii (Liliaceae family), was recently discovered in Yunnan Province, China. Although its range is nearest that of L. henrici, it exhibits the greatest morphological similarity to mackliniae, native isolated region Manipur, India, from which separated by vast Kachin Plains. By integration features and molecular phylogenetic analyses, we clarify taxonomic placement evansii. The observed discordance between nuclear ribosomal ITS plastid analyses resolving position this...
The membrane protein CD46, a ubiquitous cell surface pathogen receptor, can bind Streptococcus to trigger autophagy, which is critical step in the control of infection. In this study, we found new splice variant designated CD46 transcript (CD46-TV). characterized by retention 48 bp sequence from intron 8 bovine gene, encodes putative enlarged 16 amino acids. CD46-TV mRNA was be over expressed mastitis-infected mammary gland tissues relative healthy tissues. A single nucleotide polymorphism...
Several previous studies have shown that some morphologically distinctive, small genera of vascular plants are endemic to the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and adjacent Hengduan Mountains appear unexpected complex phylogenetic relationships with their putative sisters, which typically more widespread species rich. In particular, may form one or poorly resolved paraphyletic clades within sister group despite distinctive morphology. Plausible explanations for this evolutionary biogeographic pattern...
Taxon delimitation and identification are important in many areas of biology, especially taxonomy conservation. Taxonomic treatment is required to establish justify recommendations conservation biology for the group being considered. Imperfect controversial can undermine assessment. We studied 71 populations; 665 individuals corresponding morphology Rosa sericea complex (including six taxa, one which has extremely narrow distributions) were collected from sympatric, parapatric, allopatric...
In this research, the pollen morphology of Rosa sericea complex has been studied by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The present study aimed to provide baseline information for taxonomic identification R. taxa. sculpture, outline, and aperture show variability in includes taxonomically challenging species with undistinguishable boundaries. Identifying taxon boundaries closely related is fundamental investigating evolution biodiversity. Taxa circumscription insufficient, unresolved, a...
Abstract Background Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae (BFC) is an endangered high-altitude medicine and food homology plant with anti-tumor, anti-asthmatic, antitussive activities as it contains a variety of active ingredients, especially steroidal alkaloids. Thunbergia (BFT) another species Fritillaria that grows at lower altitude areas. Production plant-derived ingredients through synthetic biology strategy one the current hot topics in biological research, which requires complete...
Discerning species boundaries among closely related taxa is fundamental to studying evolution and biodiversity. However, in plants can be difficult delimit due frequent introgression, which occur across genera may leave an evolutionary footprint similar ongoing divergence speciation. In this study, we sought determine within between thetwo alpine shrubs, Rosa sericea R. omeiensiscomplex of using population genetics, environmental data ecological niche modeling (ENM), morphological traits. We...
Controversy regarding the status of genus Nomocharis Franchet (1889: 113) has been undergoing since its recognition by (1889). Recent molecular studies (Nishikawa et al. 1999, Hayashi & Kawano 2000, Nishikawa 2001, Ronsted 2005, Peruzzi 2009) have resolved as being nested within Lilium Linaeus (1753: 302). Results our own previous (Gao 2012, Gao 2013a, 2013b), with expanded sampling species congruent those others. Thus would render paraphyletic. We prefer to recognize a monophyletic...
Premise Evolutionary transitions among floral morphologies, many of which provide evidence for adaptation to novel pollinators, are common. Some trumpet‐shaped flowers the largest in angiosperms, occurring different lineages. Our goal was investigate role pollinators evolution these using Lilium . Methods We investigated traits and L primulinum var. ochraceum brownii viridulum reviewed reports visitors huge flowers. Using a published phylogeny , we reconstructed ancestral morphological...
Rubus L. (Rosaceae, Rosoideae) contains around 700 species distributed on all continents except Antarctica, with the highest diversity in temperate to subtropical regions of northern hemisphere. The taxonomy is challenging due frequency polyploidy, hybridization and apomixis. Previous studies mostly sampled sparsely used limited DNA sequence data. evolutionary relationships between infrageneric taxa, therefore, remain be further clarified. In present study, genotyping by sequencing (GBS)...
Abstract East Asia harbors the highest level of floristic diversity among world’s temperate regions. Despite increase in phylogeographic studies plants Asia, far less attention has been paid to widely distributed deciduous shrubs that widespread across several floral We sequenced two chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) fragments ( ndh J- trn F and D- T) one nuclear Pgk1 ) 472 individuals from 51 populations such a group, Indigofera bungeana complex. used population genetic data as well ecological niche...
We studied hybrid interactions of Lilium meleagrinum , gongshanense and saluenense using an integrative approach combining population genetics, fieldwork, phenological research. These three species occur along elevational gradient, with L. occurring at lower elevations, higher between them. The show strong morphological differentiation despite there being no clear environmental barriers to gene flow among is likely have a origin based on our prior work, but its progenitors remain uncertain....
