Impatiens wutaishanensis R.L. Liao & Lei Cai, a new species from Southeast Yunnan, China, is here described and illustrated. This most similar to parvisepala S.X. Yu Y.T. Hou in its racemose inflorescences, four lateral sepals, the leaf arrangement, having yellow flowers. However, it differs height of plants, length petiole, size shape blade, spur, number flowers each inflorescence. A detailed description, color photographs, provisional IUCN red list assessment are provided,...
SUMMARY Rhododendrons are woody plants, famous throughout the world as having high horticultural value. However, many wild species currently threatened with extinction. Here, we report for first time a high‐quality, chromosome‐level genome of Rhododendron griersonianum, which has contributed to approximately 10% all rhododendron varieties but in its form been evaluated critically endangered. The final assembly, contig N50 size 34 M and total length 677 M, is highest‐quality sequenced within...
Acer yangbiense is a newly described critically endangered endemic maple tree confined to Yangbi County in Yunnan Province Southwest China. It was included programme for rescuing the most threatened species China, focusing on "plant with extremely small populations (PSESP)". We generated 64, 94, and 110 Gb of raw DNA sequences obtained chromosome-level genome assembly A. through combination Pacific Biosciences Single-molecule Real-time, Illumina HiSeq X, Hi-C mapping, respectively. The final...
Abstract Background Michelia lacei W.W.Smith (Magnoliaceae), was classified as a Plant Species with Extremely Small Populations (PSESP) by the Yunnan Provincial Government in both action plans of 2012 and 2021. This evergreen tree is known for its high ornamental scientific value, but it faces significant threats due to extremely small population size narrow geographical distribution. The study aims understand genetic structure, diversity, demographic history this species inform conservation...
Michelia coriacea, a critically endangered tree, has restricted and fragmented distribution in Southeast Yunnan Province, China. The genetic diversity, structure gene flow the three extant populations of this species were detected by 10 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers 11 simple (SSR) markers. Examination diversity revealed that maintained relatively high level at (percentage polymorphic bands) PPB = 96.36% from ISSRs; PPL loci) 95.56% SSRs, despite several fragmental populations....
• Premise of the study: Southwestern China is an area active tectonism and erosion, yielding a dynamic, deeply eroded landscape that hypothesized to have influenced genetic structure resident populations plants animals. However, few studies been conducted examine influence changing river channels, particularly in Yarlung Tsangpo area, on distributions plants. We here population Buddleja crispa , dominant element dry, warm/hot river‐valley communities, seeking delimit current its relation...
Approximately one fifth of the world's plants are at risk extinction. Of these, a significant number exist as populations few individuals, with limited distribution ranges and under enormous pressure due to habitat destruction. In China, these most-at-risk species described 'plant extremely small populations' (PSESP). Implementing conservation action for such listed is urgent. Storing seeds main means ex situ flowering plants. Spore storage could provide simple economical method fern...
Abstract Recent advancements in whole genome sequencing techniques capable of covering nearly all the nucleotide variations a would make it possible to set up conservation framework for threatened plants at genomic level. Here we applied resequencing approach obtain genome‐wide data from 105 individuals sampled 10 currently known extant populations Acer yangbiense , an endangered species with fragmented habitats and restricted distribution Yunnan, China. To inform meaningful action,...
Elucidating the genetic background of threatened species is fundamental to their management and conservation, investigating demographic history these helpful in determination threats facing them. The woody genus Magnolia (Magnoliaceae) have high economic, scientific ecological values. Although nearly half all been evaluated as threatened, date there has no population study employing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology this genus. In present study, we investigate conservation genomics...
Abstract Rhododendron vialii (subgen. Azaleastrum ) is an evergreen shrub with high ornamental value. This species has been listed as a plant extremely small populations (PSESP) for urgent protection by China’s Yunnan provincial government in 2021, due to anthropogenic habitat fragmentation. However, limited genomic resources hinder scientifically understanding of genetic threats that the currently facing. In this study, we assembled high-quality haplotype-resolved genome R . based on PacBio...
Abstract Background Corybas taliensis is an endemic species of sky islands in China. Its habitat fragile and unstable, it likely that the threatened. However, difficult to determine conservation priority or unit without knowing genetic background overall distribution this species. In study, we used double digest restriction-site associated DNA-sequencing (ddRAD-seq) investigate genomics C. . At same time, modeled extent suitable for present future (2030 2090) using maximum-entropy (MaxEnt)...
Understanding processes that generate and maintain large disjunctions within plant species can provide valuable insights into diversity speciation. The butterfly bush Buddleja alternifolia has an unusual disjunct distribution, occurring in the Himalaya, Hengduan Mountains (HDM) Loess Plateau (LP) China. We generated a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly of B. alternifolia, first family Scrophulariaceae. Whole-genome re-sequencing data from 48 populations plus morphological petal...
Species of the genus Buddleja in Asia are mainly distributed Sino-Himalayan region and form a challenging taxonomic group, with extensive hybridization polyploidization. A phylogenetic approach to unravelling history reticulation this lineage will deepen our understanding speciation biodiversity hotspots.
Since 2005, a new conservation action concept has been implemented to address the most threatened plant species requiring priority in China. The is now widely recognized at different levels of governmental departments and by general public, leading great achievements for Despite much progress plants China over recent decades, current efforts are still insufficient protect China's high level diversity [1Ma Y.P. et al.Conserving with extremely small populations (PSESP) China.Biodivers....
Magnolia sinica is one of the most threatened trees endemic to Southeast Yunnan. Based on our investigations, only 52 individuals and eight populations are found in wild. M. has been categorized as Critically Endangered IUCN Red List identified a "Plant Species with Extremely Small Populations (PSESP)". Its fruit/seed set very low seedlings rarely It hypothesized that it may encounter obstacles reproductive success. This study, therefore, focuses its biology, knowledge which essential for...
Summary Vespicochory, seed dispersal by hornets, is an uncommon pattern in angiosperms. To date, this phenomenon has been recorded only four families. Because of its rarity, the causes and consequences vespicochory remain unclear. Hence, syndrome often regarded as anecdotal. Through field investigations, chemical analyses, electrophysiological tests, identification chemosensory proteins from antennae behavioral assays, we investigated whether olfactory and/or visual cues diaspores Stemona...
