Summary Incongruent phylogenies have been widely observed between nuclear and plastid or mitochondrial genomes in terrestrial plants animals. However, few studies examined these patterns microalgae the discordance two organelles. Here we investigated nuclear–mitochondrial–plastid phylogenomic incongruence Emiliania–Gephyrocapsa , a group of cosmopolitan calcifying phytoplankton with enormous populations recent speciations. We assembled 27 strains from across global oceans temperature...
Abstract Adiantum is among the most distinctive and easily recognized leptosporangiate fern genera. Despite encompassing an astonishing range of leaf complexity, all species share a unique character state not observed in other ferns: sporangia borne directly on reflexed margin or “false indusium” (pseudoindusium). The over 200 span six continents are nearly terrestrial. Here, we present one comprehensive phylogenies for any large (200+ spp.) monophyletic, subcosmopolitan genus ferns to date....
Premise Not all ferns grow in moist and shaded habitats. One well‐known example is Notholaena standleyi , a species that thrives deserts of the southwestern United States Mexico. This exhibits several “chemotypes” differ farina (flavonoid exudates) color chemistry. By integrating data from molecular phylogenetics, cytology, biochemistry, biogeography, we circumscribed major evolutionary lineages within N. reconstructed their diversification histories. Methods Forty‐eight samples were...
Abstract Gephyrocapsa huxleyi (formerly Emiliania ), a key coccolithophore alga influencing the global carbon cycle through photosynthesis and calcification, undergoes haplodiplontic sexual life with calcifying non-flagellate diploid non-calcifying biflagellate haploid stage. To reveal molecular basis of their morpho-physiological distinctions, we generated chromosome-level genome assemblies compared transcriptomes, proteomes, methylomes for pair isogenic model strains conducted...
Abstract Dryopteris subgenus Nothoperanema (Dryopteridaceae) includes sections Acrophorus, Diacalpe, Nothoperanema, and Peranema. Phylogenetic relationships among these their relationship to sect. Dryopsis (genus Erythrovariae, Dryopteridaceae) are unclear. Additionally, previous phylogenetic work has not included Stenolepia, which been suggested as an important relative of Peranema based on morphology. In this study, we examined within by including Stenolepia utilizing six plastid regions...
Venuloid idioblasts are vein-like structures. In Pteris, they long epidermal cells with very thick cell walls. this study, venuloid of Pteris grevilleana were investigated various light microscopic (LM) and scanning electron (SEM) techniques the main purposes these summarized discussed. To investigate morphology distribution idioblasts, partial polarization LM technique cryo-tabletop-SEM used. The had lobed margins, acute or round ends, could be found on both upper lower epidermis fertile...
Abstract— The phylogenetic position of Cheilanthes brandegeei , a fern endemic to the Baja California Peninsula Mexico, was investigated using three plastid markers ( atpA rbcL trnG-R ) and comparative morphology. Here we present robust evidence for recognition C. as member bommeriids, sister clade all other cheilanthoid ferns, that it is Bommeria species within clade. Because its distinctive morphology bommeriid (pinnate leaf architecture, well-developed pseudoindusium, narrow, concolorous...
Premise of research. Successful long-distance dispersal is rarely observed in scaly tree ferns (Cyatheaceae). Nevertheless, recent molecular evidence has suggested that the four endemic on Galápagos Archipelago (Cyathea weatherbyana) and Cocos Island alfonsiana, Cyathea nesiotica, notabilis), two oceanic island groups west Central northern South America, probably each originated from different mainland America ancestors. However, phylogenetic relationships inferred among these endemics their...
Abstract Premise The great variation of genome size (C‐value) across land plants is linked to various adaptative features. Flow cytometry (FCM), the standard approach estimating C‐values, relies mostly on fresh materials, performing poorly when used with herbarium materials. No fern C‐value reports have been derived from specimens; however, spores some ferns remain highly viable for decades and are thus promising further investigation. To explore this possibility, we evaluated spore...
Abstract— A new species, Antrophyum nambanense , is described here based on the evidence from morphology and molecular phylogeny. Morphologically, short taeniform soral paraphyses large fronds are diagnostic characteristics of A. . Phylogenetically, it most closely related to annamense but can be readily distinguished by (vs. filiform). We suggest an allopolyploid hybrid origin involving henryi morphology, phylogenetic position, chromosome number, partially malformed spores. description,...
Aglaomorpha cornucopia (Copel.) M.C. Roos is an endemic and rare epiphytic fern from the Philippines. Ex situ germplasm storage growth are important complementary tools for conserving this fern. This study was conducted to document reproductive biology of species. Mature sporophylls A. were collected in May, 2012 Mt. Apo, Each sporangium bore 64 yellow, monolete spores. The average spore size 49.3±3.7 µm. Fresh spores germinated 100% within one week sowing (mean germination time (MGT) <1...
Ferns belong to species-rich group of land plants, encompassing more than 11,000 extant species, and are crucial for reflecting terrestrial ecosystem changes. However, our understanding their biodiversity hotspots, particularly in Southeast Asia, remains limited due scarce genetic data. Despite harboring around one-third the world's fern less 6% Asian ferns have been DNA-sequenced. In this study, we addressed gap by sequencing 1,496 voucher-referenced expert-identified samples from...
Grammitid ferns are a tropical monophyletic clade nested in Polypodiaceae, containing more than 20 genera and 750 species. Many of them also grow Taiwan. During the survey recent two decades, an unknown grammitid fern was discovered taxonomic treatment is given herein.A new species, collected from Taiwan, recognized named, i.e., Xiphopterella devolii S. J. Moore, Parris, & W. L. Chiou. The holotype deposited TAIF, isotypes HAST, K, L, US, TNS. It distributed on SE S China. genus record to...
