Despite intensive morphological and molecular studies of Onagraceae, relationships within the family are not fully understood. One drawback previous analyses is limited sampling large tribe Onagreae. In addition, monophyly two species‐rich genera in Onagreae, Camissonia Oenothera , has never been adequately tested. To understand test these genera, ascertain affinities newly discovered genus Megacorax we conducted parsimony maximum likelihood with rbcL ndhF sequence data for 24 taxa...
The internal transcribed spacers and 5.8S cistron of nuclear ribosomal DNA were sequenced from 22 species Epilobium two outgroups. Phylogenies inferred the sequences using parsimony, neighbor-joining, maximum-likelihood, compatibility analysis. With parsimony we explored effect different weights for insertions/deletions (indels) vs. substitutions, coding non-coding regions, transitions transversions, a posteriori character reweighting. Section Chamaenerion was found to be sister rest genus....
Premise To further advance the understanding of species‐rich, economically and ecologically important angiosperm order Myrtales in rosid clade, comprising nine families, approximately 400 genera almost 14,000 species occurring on all continents (except Antarctica), we tested Angiosperms353 probe kit. Methods We combined high‐throughput sequencing target enrichment with kit to evaluate a sample 485 across 305 (76% order). Results provide most comprehensive phylogenetic hypothesis for date....
The Nomenclature Section held just before the 18th International Botanical Congress in Melbourne, Australia July 2011 saw sweeping changes to way scientists name new plants, algae, and fungi. begin on cover: title was broadened make explicit that Code applies not only but also algae will now be of fungi, plants. For first time history allow for electronic publication names taxa. In an effort more accurate efficient, requirement a Latin validating diagnosis or description changed either...
Onagraceae are a family of 17 genera in seven tribes, with the majority species tribes Onagreae and Epilobieae. Despite species-richness these two to date no phylogenetic study has been done sufe cient taxon sampling examine relationships between within tribes. In this study, we used DNA sequence data from one nuclear region (ITS) chloroplast regions ( trnL-trnF rps16) infer among93taxa across thefamily, withconcentratedsamplinginthelargetribeOnagreae.Results...
Abstract Previous systematic studies have generated abundant information on plants in family Onagraceae Juss., making this taxonomic group a model for understanding plant evolution. The chloroplast genome is widely used to provide valuable insights into how lineages evolved. In the present study, we employed shotgun sequencing assemble new plastomes from Onagraceae. Plastomes of ten species and one genus, Fuchsia, are reported first time. We characterize compare plastome features six genera...
The Lythraceae s. l. comprise 31 mostly highly distinctive genera distributed worldwide. Cladistic analyses of the family were undertaken using 26 characters from anatomy, floral morphology, pollen, and seed morphology. Of four outgroup hypotheses, Onagraceae offered best heuristic assessment, generating 3746 trees with a tree length 83 consistency index (C.I.) 0.41. A strict consensus produced basal monophyletic group five (Sonneratia, Duabanga, Punica, Lagerstroemia, Lawsonia)...
A cladistic analysis of Onagraceae was perforrned using 17 characters frorn rnor phology, anatorny, palynology, ernbryology, and cytology, with its 16 genera as the terminal taxa, several possible outgroups within Myrtales. In rnain (all Myrtales outgroup ), seven equally parsirnonious cladograrns were produced, each 29 steps a consistency index 0.82. successive weighting procedure applied, resulting in six 0.93. All share following nine rnonophyletic groups: 1) all taxa except Ludwigia; 2)...
Abstract Ludwigia (Onagraceae) is a worldwide wetland genus with 83 species currently classified as members of 23 sec tions. Past studies have documented the morphological diversity and complex evolutionary history. Here we provide first comprehensive molecular phylogeny Ludwigia, using our new data to examine existing hypotheses. We employed both nuclear (ITS, waxy) chloroplast (rps16, rpl16, trnL‐trnF, trnL‐CD, trnG) DNA regions for this study. Our results suggest that North Temperate...
Changes to flowering phenology are a key response of plants climate change. However, we know little about how these changes alter temporal patterns reproductive overlap (i.e. phenological reassembly). We combined long-term field (1937-2012) and herbarium records (1850-2017) 68 species in plant community central North America used novel application Bayesian quantile regression estimate season length, altered richness composition co-flowering assemblages, whether shifts exhibit seasonal...
In 1953, Hara provided new combinations for many sectional and species names when he combined Jussiaea L. with Ludwigia L., at the time, Ludwigiasect.Oligospermum (Micheli) H.Hara was correct name one well-defined section. However, subsequent changes to/clarifications of botanical code have necessitated a change that in now an autonym is treated as having priority over or same date rank established it. Since Hara's combination based on Jussiaeasect.Oligospermum Micheli, this section...
Premise of the Study Interpreting relationships within groups containing polyploids, which are frequent in angiosperms, can be greatly assisted by genomic techniques. In this study, we used a genome‐skimming approach to investigate evolutionary and origins polyploids monophyletic group, Ludwigia section Macrocarpon (Onagraceae), includes diploid, tetraploid, hexaploid taxa. Methods We sampled all known taxa ploidy levels conducted shotgun sequencing. assembled plastomes, mitochondrial...
ABSTRACT Here, we present the first plastome of Ludwigia octovalvis (Onagraceae, Myrtales) as well in subfamily Ludwigioideae. This genome is notable for its contracted inverted repeat regions and an expanded small single-copy region compared to other species orders Myrtales Geraniales.
