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)...
Marattiaceae is a phylogenetically isolated family of tropical eusporangiate ferns including six genera with more than one-hundred species. In Marattiaceae, monophyly has been well-supported phylogenetically. However, the phylogenetic relationships among them were elusive and controversial. Here, dataset 26 transcriptomes (including 11 newly generated) used to assess single-copy nuclear genes obtain organelle gene sequences. Through phylotranscriptomic analysis, phylogeny hybridization...
Indigofera L. is the third largest genus in Fabaceae and includes economically important species that are used for indigo dye-producing, medicinal, ornamental, soil water conservation. The taxonomically difficult due to high level of overlap morphological characters interspecies, fewer reliability states classification, extensive adaptive evolution. Previous characteristic-based taxonomy nuclear ITS-based phylogenies have contributed our understanding However, lack chloroplast genomic...
Abstract Bryophyte communities can exhibit similar structural and taxonomic diversity as vascular plant communities, just at a smaller scale. Whether the physiological be similarly diverse, whether it explain local abundance patterns is unknown, due to lack of community‐wide studies traits. This study re‐analyzed data on photosynthesis‐related traits (including nitrogen, phosphorus chlorophyll concentrations, photosynthetic capacities, nutrient use efficiencies) 27 bryophyte species in...
Abstract Precipitation use efficiency (PUE) is crucial in understanding the coupling between ecosystem carbon and water cycling. In this study, we used a time series (2000–2013) dataset of net primary productivity (NPP) based on Carnegie–Ames–Stanford Approach (CASA) model together with precipitation to reveal spatial temporal patterns alpine grassland PUE Northern Tibet. The mean annual values meadow, meadow steppe, desert were 0.48, 0.39, 0.36, 0.29 0.23 gc m −2 mm −1 , respectively....
The systematic position of Paraixeris humifusa (Asteraceae) is hard to define, because the circumscription Paraixeris, Youngia and Crepidiastrum, three closely related genera in subtribe Crepidinae (Cichorieae), not clear. This paper reports on relationships between 30 species Crepidinae, based an analysis nucleotides from one nuclear (ITS) chloroplast DNA regions ( trnL-F, rps16 atpB-rbcL). phylogenetic analyses used maximum parsimony with likelihood inference. monophyly Crepidiastrum most...
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...
Taxonomic and phylogenetic relationships of Christia, Urariopsis, Uraria related genera within the tribe Desmodieae (Fabaceae: Papilionoideae) have long been controversial. Here, we report complete chloroplast (cp) genomes Christia vespertilionis Urariopsis brevissima perform comparative analyses with lagopodioides other relatives in Desmodieae. The cp C. U. are 149,656 149,930 bp long, 128 unique genes (83 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA 8 rRNA genes), respectively. Comparative revealed...
To understand the genetic background of Rosa filipes, its complete chloroplast genome was determined in this study. The R. filipes is 156,624 bp length with a large single-copy region (LSC) 85,754 bp, small (SSC) 18,784 and pair inverted repeats (IRs) 26,043 bp. GC content 37.2%. A total 137 genes were identified, including 90 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that closely related to chinensis var. spontanea.
We investigated how developmental stage affects seed traits, including the relative level of desiccation tolerance Quercus serrata. tested hypothesis that is a quantitative trait associated with development and maximum reached during development. Seed growth physiological traits Q. serrata from subtropical forest were examined in detail process. During development, other varied. Dry matter accumulation components increased rapidly beginning mid-August, moisture content declined. At peak...
Natural hybridization was assumed to play a significant role in the diversification of Rosa. Rosa lichiangensis suspected be hybrid origin based on its intermediate morphological characters between R. soulieana and multiflora var. cathayensis. In this study, four chloroplast regions (ndhC-trnV, ndhF-rpl32, ndhJ-trnF, psbJ-petA) single copy nuclear marker (GAPDH) were used test lichiangensis. The results from molecular data supported further identified as maternal progenitor cathayensis...
Abstract Many mosses and lichens thrive in high-elevation subalpine forests even become dominant species on the forest floor. Although they play an irreplaceable ecological role forest, less is known about their eco-physiological status, how photosynthesis-related functional traits differ from those of co-occurring vascular plants. We determined carbon, nitrogen phosphorus concentrations stoichiometric ratios, tissue mass per area, chlorophyll photosynthetic light–response curves three...
The complete chloroplast genome of Uraria lagopodioides is determined in this study. plastome 149,828 bp length and comprises a large single-copy region (83,133 bp), small (18,443 pair inverted repeats (24,126 bp). A total 128 genes were identified, including 83 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA eight rRNA genes. overall GC content 35.2%. Phylogenetic analysis 15 sequences within Fabaceae revealed U. was closely related to Desmodium heterocarpon.
Rosa glomerata is a diffuse shrub belonging to sect. Synstylae. It endemic Southwest China and of high ornamental economic value. However, its systematic position remains unclear. Here, the complete chloroplast genome R. was assembled using high-throughput sequencing data.

A new fern species, Polystichum hubeiense Liang Zhang & Li Bing (Dryopteridaceae), is described and illustrated from limestone cliffs in western Hubei Province, China. most similar to P. lanceolatum having relatively small leaves pinnae pairs of per lamina. The species distinguished by overlapping papery that are dull adaxially repand on the margin, while has contiguous leathery lustrous dentate with hard spines margin.
