A new project, ‘Flora of Uzbekistan’, is announced to start with publication in 2017. It aims at publishing a multi-volume taxonomic treatment vascular plants Uzbekistan, complete synonymy, nomenclature, distribution data, descriptions and identification keys. The supported by an extensive database records, used generate maps. background information for the Flora provided, structure format work are outlined.
Trichosanthes sunhangii D.G.Zhang, Z.M.Li, Qun Liu & T.Deng, a new species of Cucurbitaceae, is described and illustrated. It was collected in Shennongjia Forestry District, Hubei province, east-central China. T. morphologically similar to kirilowii Maxim. rosthornii Harms, but can be easily distinguished from them by its bracts, tendrils fruits. Phylogenetic analyses based on three DNA barcode markers (ITS, matK rpl20-rps12) indicated that two accessions were grouped together (PP=1.00,...
Ferula L. is one of the largest and most taxonomically complicated genera as well being an important medicinal plant resource in family Apiaceae. To investigate plastome features phylogenetic relationships its neighboring Soranthus Ledeb., Schumannia Kuntze., Talassia Korovin, we sequenced 14 complete plastomes 12 species. RESULTS: The size chloroplast genomes ranged from 165,607 to 167,013 base pairs (bp) encoding 132 distinct genes (87 protein-coding, 37 tRNA, 8 rRNA genes), showed a...
The article is devoted to studying natural reserves of raw materials the endemic Southwestern Pamir-Alai Ferula tadshikorum in territory Republic Uzbekistan. excessive harvesting, population F. Uzbekistan a critical condition; area thickets and continues decline. Compared with indicators 2020–2023, presence individuals monitoring sites (10×10 m2) Kashkadarya region revealed decrease total number by 56.1%. Accordingly, these correlate operational since 2023, maturity plants was reduced 65.3%...
Astragalus L. is the largest genus worldwide, comprising more than 3,100 species belonging to 250 sections. In Mongolia, approximately 130 species, including 15 endemic and 25 subendemic have been previously recognized from 42 sections 6 subgenera. this study, we investigated several within section Laguropsis in Mongolia based on extensive morphological analyses molecular evidence. Based these results, describe three new a section. Two of newly described A.oyunicus A.teshigicus, belong...
Central Asia, which is composed of five countries – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, an important global biodiversity hotspot, but a botanically poorly-known part Asia. As the Mapping Asia Plants (MAP) project, we reviewed history botanical investigations, floristic works publications in this region, as well key floras, checklists, herbaria online databases The published Floras Checklists dating back to 1851 lay solid foundation for research today. Eight (61...
Central Asia (CA) is located in the interior of Eurasian continent and consists five countries—Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan. It contains largest concentration temperate deserts mountains CA biodiversity hotspots. However, regionwide floristic diversity sorely lacking, nationwide seriously outdated this region. Using data collected by Mapping Plants (MAP) project, we describe analyze diverse characteristics plant at both regional national levels, including...
Allium sect. Cepa (Amaryllidaceae) comprises economically important plants, yet resolving the phylogenetic relationships within section has been difficult as nuclear and chloroplast-based trees have incongruent. Until now, studies of based on a few genes. In this study, we sequenced complete chloroplast genome (plastomes) four central Asian species Cepa: oschaninii, A. praemixtum, pskemense galanthum. Their (cp) genomes included 114 unique genes which 80 coded proteins. Seven protein-coding...
Abstract Background and Aims Macro- micromorphology of seeds are diagnostic characteristics importance in delimiting taxa Allium (Amaryllidaceae). However, there is no consensus on the phylogenetic significance testa cell whether they reflect different evolutionary levels recognized Allium. Methods Seeds 95 species (98 samples) representing 14 subgenera 58 sections were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for such traits as periclinal wall surface area ten cells, distance...
Uzbekistan is widely regarded as one of the most diversified sources species Tulipa L. The present study provides synopsis genus in this area. According to literature reviews and field surveys, includes 33 (34 taxa) distributed Uzbekistan. In paper, more than 3,500 herbarium specimens deposited National Herbarium (TASH), Komarov Botanical Institute St. Petersburg, Russia (LE), Moscow State University, (MW), Botany Phytointroduction Almaty, Kazakhstan (AA) Biology Bishkek (FRU) were utilized...
Abstract Haplophyllum A. Juss. is one of the most species‐rich, but poorly‐known genera Rutaceae (citrus family), reaching maximum species diversity in Turkey, Iran, and Central Asia. Many its exhibit a narrow geographic range ("narrow endemics"), which makes them particularly vulnerable to extinction. Despite importance for characterization Irano‐Turanian floristic region, evolution has never been examined phylogenetic biogeographic context. We generated gene trees from DNA sequences four...
The diversity and distribution of the genus Tulipa in Uzbekistan are discussed; 34 taxa recognized Uzbekistan. were mapped using GIS software their distributions analyzed. Six species endemic to country. A national check‐list was created based on classification developed by Zonneveld (2009). ‘Hot spot’ areas tulip western Tien‐Shan (18 taxa), Pamir–Alay mountains taxa) Turan lowland (5 taxa). An assessment rare according IUCN red list categories criteria performed for first time Evaluation...
Abstract Background Dactylicapnos is a climbing herbaceous vine, distributed from the Himalayas to southwestern China, and some of species have important medicinal values. However, chloroplast genomes never been investigated. In this study, seven covering all three sections one informal group were sequenced assembled, detailed comparative analyses genome structure provided for first time. Results The results showed that typical quadripartite with lengths 172,344 bp 176,370 bp, encoding total...
A check-list of endemic vascular plants the Tian-Shan Mountains, including plant distribution along mountain ranges and in Central Asian countries, has been compiled for first time this study. The list flora consists 871 species subspecies. One subspecies belongs to Pinaceae (Pinopsida) 870 taxa belong Magnoliidae (dicots, 732 taxa, monocots, 138 taxa). 39 families 187 genera. largest number endemics is concentrated Kyrgyzstan (225 national endemics, 507 total) Kazakhstan (205 485 total)....
Prangos fedtschenkoi (Regel & Schmalh.) Korovin and P. lipskyi (Apiaceae) are rare plant species endemic to mountainous regions of Middle Asia. Both edificators biotic communities valuable resource plants. The results recent phylogenetic analyses place them in subgen. Koelzella (M. Hiroe) Lyskov Pimenov suggest they may possibly represent sister species. To aid development molecular markers useful for intraspecific phylogeographic population-level genetic studies these ecologically...
The novel, phylogeny-based classification of Iris s.l. in the Mountains Central Asia biodiversity hotspot has been developed.Fifty seven species are accepted and classified into 14 sections.The majority (38) belong to juno irises, which have a centre their diversity represented by 2 sections; largest I. sect.Juno is subdivided 10 groups, whereas sect.Physocaulon subsections, each with aggregates.The analysis geographical pattern richness revealed two areas exceptionally high richness:...
Tulipa L. (Liliaceae) comprises approximately 150 species. Although Central Asia, the main center of its diversity, includes around 66 species, detailed mapping their distribution is limited and research on ecoregional phytogeographical dispersion insufficient. This study aimed to map analyze patterns across Asian ecoregions regions identify potential hotspots for effective conservation efforts. The results identified Gissaro-Alai open woodlands ecoregion, which hosts 41 species Tulipa, as...
