The plastid genome (plastome) of heterotrophic plants like mycoheterotrophs and parasites shows massive gene losses in consequence to the relaxation functional constraints on photosynthesis. To understand patterns this convergent plastome reduction syndrome plants, we studied 12 closely related orchids three different lifeforms from tribe Neottieae (Orchidaceae). We employ a comparative genomics approach examine structural selectional changes plastomes within Neottieae. Both leafy leafless...
Zingiber calcicola Y.H.Tan & H.B.Ding, sp. nov. (Zingiberaceae) from a limestone area in south Yunnan, China is described and illustrated here. It belongs to sect. Dymczewiczia due the terminal inflorescence on leafy shoot. The description, photographs, habitat, distribution, phenology comparison with allied species are also provided.
Angiosperms are the largest plant group and play an essential role in biosphere. Phylogenetic relationships of many families orders remain contentious, and, attempt to address these, we performed most extensive sampling mitochondrial genes date. We reconstructed a seed phylogenetic framework based on 41 protein-coding sequences (mtCDSs), representing 335 63 with 481 angiosperm species. The results for major clades angiosperms produced moderate strong support (> 70% bootstrap) more than 80%...
DNA barcoding has been proposed to be one of the most promising tools for accurate and rapid identification taxa. However, few publications have evaluated efficiency large genera flowering plants. Dendrobium, largest plants, contains many species that are important in horticulture, medicine biodiversity conservation. Besides, Dendrobium is a notoriously difficult group identify. was expected supplementary means identification, conservation future studies Dendrobium. We assessed power 11...
Hemiboea malipoensis, a new species of Gesneriaceae from southeastern Yunnan, China, is here described and illustrated. Based on morphological molecular evidence, it was found to be similar H. magnibracteata cavaleriei var. paucinervis by conspicuous involucre anthers fused entire adaxial surfaces, but can easily distinguished the latter two its manificat spherical involucre, 3.5–4.5 cm in diameter, cymes with 4–10 flowers, corolla larger, 4.5–5.5 long, pale yellow-yellow, tube glabrous,...
Abstract Aim Evergreen broad‐leaved forests ( EBLF s) occupy most tropical and subtropical regions of mainland Asia exhibit high species diversity, productivity richness. Understanding the historical dynamics s is important for biodiversity conservation regional carbon storage cycling under global climate change. However, little known about in Asia. Dendrobium , an epiphytic orchid genus found s, was used to gain new insights establishment extension Location Mainland Methods We sampled c ....
Collabieae (Orchidaceae) is a long neglected tribe with confusing tribal and generic delimitation little-understood phylogenetic relationships. Using plastid matK, psaB, rbcL, trnH-psbA DNA sequences morphological evidence, the relationships within were assessed as basis for revising their delimitation. (including previously misplaced mycoheterotrophic Risleya) supported monophyletic nested superclade that also includes Epidendreae, Podochileae, Cymbidieae Vandeae. Risleya in Collabiinae...
With the rapid economic expansion, environmental degradation has become increasingly sever during past three decades. Soil pollutions associated with toxic organic compounds and heavy metals have been identified in China. The accumulation of soils its impact on food safety is increasing concern. It reported that more than 20 million ha land contaminated can result potential health risks to human beings soil ecosystems. This potentially jeopardize security Accumulation suburb rural closely...
To illustrate the molecular mechanism of mycoheterotrophic interactions between orchids and fungi, we assembled chromosome-level reference genome Gastrodia menghaiensis (Orchidaceae) analyzed genomes two species Gastrodia.Our analyses indicated that are globally diminished in comparison to autotrophic orchids, even compared Cuscuta (a plant parasite). Genes involved arbuscular mycorrhizae colonization were found Gastrodia, many genes biological interaction Gatrodia symbiotic microbionts more...
Liparis zhipingiana (Malaxideae, Orchidaceae), a new species from Motuo, Xizang Autonomous Region, China, is described and illustrated. Molecular phylogenetic analyses indicated that L. closely related to Malaxis weberbaueriana South Africa. Morphologically, distinguished its relatives by plicate leaves, U-shaped callus at the base of lip, conical, short, non-winged column.
Abstract The mystery of genomic alternations in heterotrophic plants is among the most intriguing evolutionary biology. Compared to plastid genomes (plastomes) with parallel size reduction and gene loss, mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) variation remains underexplored many aspects. To further unravel outcomes heterotrophy, we present a comparative mitogenomic study 13 de novo assemblies Gastrodia (Orchidaceae), one largest fully mycoheterotrophic plant genera, its relatives. Analyzed...
Abstract Background Plastomes of heterotrophic plants have been greatly altered in structure and gene content, owing to the relaxation selection on photosynthesis-related genes. The orchid tribe Gastrodieae is largest probably oldest mycoheterotrophic clade extant family Orchidaceae. To characterize plastome evolution across members this key important lineage, we sequenced analyzed plastomes eleven members, including representative species two genera, as well sister group Nervilieae. Results...
Abstract Background Sapria himalayana (Rafflesiaceae) is an endoparasitic plant characterized by a greatly reduced vegetative body and giant flowers; however, the mechanisms underlying its special lifestyle altered form remain unknown. To illustrate evolution adaptation of S. himalayasna , we report de novo assembled genome key insights into molecular basis floral development, flowering time, fatty acid biosynthesis, defense responses. Results The ~ 1.92 Gb with 13,670 protein-coding genes,...
Abstract Calypsoinae is a small subtribe in Orchidaceae (Epidendroideae) characterized by diverse trophic strategies and morphological characters. includes 13 genera, four of which are leafless mycoheterotrophic. Mycoheterotrophic species the genus Corallorhiza well suited to studies plastome evolution. However, lack sequences for other genera limits scope comparative phylogenetic analyses, particular our understanding To understand plastid genome evolution Calypsoinae, we newly sequenced...
