Abstract Pandanus boninensis , endemic to the Ogasawara Islands, Japan, is distributed on both older Bonin and younger Volcano Islands. In this study, we conducted population genetic analyses of P. these islands examine diversity structure across old young islands, assess potential differences in demography with island age, collect any evidence migration between islands. We found that expressed sequence tag (EST)–based microsatellite (SSR) markers, nucleotide nuclear DNA sequences, haplotype...
Inbreeding has the potential to cause evolutionary changes in populations, although these are likely drive populations extinction through inbreeding depression and reductions genetic diversity. We investigated mating system late-stage (delta) 10 of Magnolia stellata using nine microsatellite markers evaluated effects population size degree isolation on persistence populations. The outcrossing rates were very similar (approximately 0.7) among but correlations paternity, fractions biparental...
Abstract Aim To reconstruct the diversification history of Rhododendron sect. Brachycalyx (Ericaceae), and to elucidate differences in evolutionary between 18 insular two continental species. Location Islands Japan, South Korea Taiwan mainland China East Asia. Methods Sequences seven non‐coding chloroplast DNA regions (3971 bp) were obtained from 74 populations covering all 20 species . The section was estimated by phylogenetic analysis molecular dating. Genetic diversity estimates within...
Abstract Continental islands provide opportunities for testing the effects of isolation and migration on genetic variation in plant populations. In characteristic continental is that geographic connections between these islands, which are currently distinguished by seaways, have experienced fluctuations caused sea‐level changes due to climate oscillations during Quaternary. Plant populations migrated via exposed seafloors or been isolated. Here, we examined demographic history a temperate...
Species delimitations by morphological and genetic markers are not always congruent. Magnolia kobus consists of two morphologically different varieties, borealis. The latter variety is characterized larger leaves than the former. For conservation M. resources in natural forests, relationships between variation should be clarified. We investigated variations nuclear microsatellites, chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) sequences leaf traits 23 populations over range species. Two genetically divergent...
Abstract Aim The historical circumstances promoting the transition from sexual to apomictic reproduction in dioecious plant species remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated divergence and demographic history of Lindera glauca , a tree generally considered be obligate China while comprising only females (apomicts) Japan. Location East Asia (China Japan). Taxon (Lauraceae) Methods Samples 42 populations were genotyped using chloroplast DNA nuclear microsatellite (nSSR) loci assess...
Abstract Aim Species with widespread distributions offer excellent opportunities for investigating recent biogeographical patterns across broad scales. Here, we tested the hypothesis that, due to its intermediate geographical location, NW Africa is pivotal in explaining phylogeographical of taxa Mediterranean–Macaronesian using a legume species short generation times. Location Mediterranean, focus on and Canary Islands. Taxon Pitch trefoil ( Bituminaria bituminosa ). Methods We generated...
Uncovering how populations of a species differ genetically and ecologically is important for understanding evolutionary processes. We investigated genetic structure using nuclear microsatellites chloroplast DNA sequences geographical variation in leaf morphological traits among Magnolia salicifolia across its entire range. Two distinct lineages, northern southern, were detected genetically, both lineages had substructure populations. The width/length ratio area leaves showed latitudinal...
Abstract Background and Aims The evolution of mating systems from outcrossing to self-fertilization is a common transition in flowering plants. This shift often associated with the ‘selfing syndrome’, which characterized by less visible flowers functional changes control outcrossing. In most cases, evolutionary history demographic dynamics underlying selfing syndrome remain poorly understood. Methods Here, we characterize differences genetic consequences floral-specific traits between two...
We have examined the earliness, duration, and amplitude of flowering genets in a Magnolia stellata (Sieb. et Zucc.) Maxim. population relation to their size, environmental factors (temperature light), female reproductive success (ovule survival rate) over three consecutive years. Average durations individual flowers, genets, whole these 3 years were 10.2, 15.2, 29.0 d, respectively. A bisexual phase (with both male flowers) spanned 62.9% total period, suggesting that geitonogamy can occur....
The Bonin Islands, comprised of the Mukojima, Chichijima, and Hahajima are known for their isolated distinctive habitats, hosting a diverse array endemic flora fauna. In these islands, adaptive radiation has played remarkable role in speciation, particularly evident
