Species radiations, despite immense phenotypic variation, can be difficult to resolve phylogenetically when genetic change poorly matches the rapidity of diversification. Genomic potential furnished by palaeopolyploidy, and relative roles for adaptation, random drift hybridisation in apportionment remain understood factors. Here, we study these aspects a model radiation, Syzygium, most species-rich tree genus worldwide. Genomes 182 distinct species 58 unidentified taxa are compared against...
A little-studied orchid genus, Claderia Hook.f., has until now contained just one or two species, viridiflora Hook.f. and its possible synonym, C. papuana Schltr. We describe a new species from Singapore, which differs these in having small, cream-yellow flowers that are nodding presented long, unbranched terminal inflorescence, mostly with open simultaneously. name the leontocampus Niissalo. Plants of have been collected recorded Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia possibly Thailand. carried out...
The city-state of Singapore continues to provide many new records and rediscoveries plant species in its nature reserves, offshore islands secondary forests.Eleven for eight previously presumed nationally extinct are reported here along with national conservation assessments.The Albertisia crassa Forman, Arcangelisia flava (L.) Merr., Chaetocarpus castanocarpus (Roxb.)Thwaites, Dendrokingstonia nervosa (Hook.f.& Thomson) Rauschert, Dipterocarpus chartaceus Symington, Haplopteris sessilifrons...
Gordonia penangensis Ridl. is a rainforest tree native to Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore. Here we provide the complete plastome from collection made in The sequence 156,915 bp long with large single copy, small copy two inverted repeat regions of length 86,669, 18,200 26,023 bp, respectively. A total 114 unique genes were identified, including 80 coding (seven copies), four ribosomal RNAs (all copies) 30 transfer copies). architecture gene content are very similar previously published...
Abstract Species radiations have long fascinated biologists, but the contribution of adaptation to observed diversity and speciation is still an open question. Here, we explore this question using clove genus, Syzygium, world’s largest genus tree species comprising approximately 1200 species. We dissect Syzygium through shotgun sequencing 182 distinct 58 additional as-yet unidentified taxa, assess their genetic against a chromosome-level reference genome sea apple, grande. show that grande...
