Abstract Background Ferns, originated about 360 million years ago, are the sister group of seed plants. Despite remarkable progress in our understanding fern phylogeny, with conflicting molecular evidence and different morphological interpretations, relationships among major lineages remain controversial. Results With aim to obtain a robust we carried out large-scale phylogenomic analysis using high-quality transcriptome sequencing data, which covered 69 species from 38 families 11 orders....
Nearly 103 species of Sphaeropteris are distributed in tropical area, which three indigenous to China. Our previous molecular study the genus China showed that there is an undescribed from Guangxi province could be originated natural hybridization. In this study, we carried out further morphological studies on China, and assessed status new species. Here, described illustrated as S. guangxiensis Y.F. Gu & Y.H. Yan.
The eupolypods II ferns represent a classic case of evolutionary radiation and, simultaneously, exhibit high substitution rate heterogeneity. These factors have been proposed to contribute the contentious resolutions among clades within this fern group in multilocus phylogenetic studies. We investigated deep relationships eupolypod by sampling all major families and using 40 plastid genomes, or plastomes, which 33 were newly sequenced with next-generation sequencing technology. performed...
Abstract Dennstaedtiaceae, a heterogeneous family of ferns with 11 genera and about 270 species, has global distribution. While substantial progress been made in elucidating the intergeneric relationships within certain nodes, particularly Hypolepidoideae, remain controversial. To date, no phylogenomic investigation nuclear genes conducted for biological processes underlying its complex evolution largely unknown. In this study, we generated transcriptome sequences from nine species...
Dipteris is a relic plant genus and an important indicator of global climate warming geography during the Mesozoic era. However, lack genomic resources has hindered study paleoclimate, systematic evolution, medicinal value this genus. Here, we sequenced assembled first chromosome-level genome shenzhenensis. The was 1.9 Gb with contig N50 length 4.75 Mb, GC content 42.28% BUSCO 98.3%, 98.37% sequences were anchored onto 33 pseudochromosomes. 71.97% predicted to be repetitive sequences, 45...
Ferns and lycophytes have remarkably large genomes. However, little is known about how their genome size evolved in fern lineages. To explore the origins evolution of chromosome numbers ferns, we used flow cytometry to measure genomes 240 species (255 samples) extant ferns comprising 27 families 72 genera, which 228 (242 represent new reports. We analyzed correlations among size, spore chromosomal features, phylogeny, habitat type preference within a phylogenetic framework. also applied...
Equisetum is one of the oldest extant group vascular plants and considered to be key understanding plant evolution. distributed almost all over world has a high degree adaptability different environments. Despite fossil record horsetails ( , Equisetaceae) dating back Carboniferous, phylogenetic relationship this genus not well, chloroplast evolution in remains poorly understood. In order fill gap, we sequenced, assembled, annotated genomes 12 species compared them 13 previously published...
Abstract Whole-genome duplication has been recognized as a major process in speciation of land plants, especially ferns. Whereas genome downsizing contributes greatly to the post-genome shock responses polyploid flowering diploidization ferns diverges by maintaining most duplicated DNA and is thus expected be dominated genic processes. As consequence, fern genomes provide excellent opportunities study ecological enforced expansion protein families via polyploidy. To test key predictions this...
Whole-genome duplications (WGDs) are widespread in plants and frequently coincide with global climatic change events, such as the Cretaceous-Tertiary (KT) extinction event approximately 65 million years ago (mya). Ferns have larger genomes higher chromosome numbers than seed plants, which likely resulted from multiple rounds of polyploidy. Here, we use diploid triploid material a model fern species, Ceratopteris thalictroides, for detection WGDs. High-quality RNA-seq data was used to infer...
Abstract Eucalypt plantations expand rapidly out of their natural distribution zones, thus inducing a concern on effects biodiversity and ecosystem functions. We compare the understory plant diversity 46 plots eucalypt plantations, including early later stages in rotation, with that 21 contrast vegetation, other types secondary shrub grassland, Guangdong Guangxi Provinces, South China. Although overall did not change significantly relative to community structures changed dramatically. The...
Species identification and phylogenetic relationships clarification are fundamental goals in species delimitation. Yet these tasks pose challenges when based on morphologies, geographic distribution, genomic data. Previously, two new of fern genus Bolbitis, B. × multipinna longiaurita, were described morphological traits, phylogenetically intertwined with sinensis fail to form monophyletic groups. To address the unclear within complex, RAD sequencing was performed 65 individuals from five...
Several studies of MADS-box transcription factors in flowering plants have been conducted, and these indicated that they conserved functions floral organ development; MIKC-type genes has proved to be expanded ferns, however, few systematic conducted non-seed plants. Although ferns seed are sister groups, exhibit substantial morphological differences.
Abstract Ferns that evolved from 400 million years ago show various functional traits and ecological strategies in extant species, over 80% of which belong to the youngest order Polypodiales. How ferns have changed during their evolutionary history remains unexplored. Here, we measured are sensitive environmental light water availability 345 fern species across phylogeny, reconstructed histories. We found ferns, mainly Polypodiales, developed diversified response forest environments....
Epiphytic ferns have been found to flourish after angiosperms dominated forest communities, and they play important roles in rainforest canopies. How do epiphytic adapt tropical canopy habitats? At present, we know little about the molecular mechanism underlying this adaptation. Asplenium nidus is a well-known fern that closely related terrestrial species komarovii . Here, RNA-seq comparative transcriptomic analyses were performed explore basis of adaptation A. extreme environments. A total...
Cryptic species comprise two or more taxa that are grounded under a single name because they more-or-less indistinguishable morphologically. These potentially important for detailed assessments of biodiversity, but there now appear to be many cryptic than previously estimated. One taxonomic group likely contain is
Phylogenetic conflicts limit our understanding of the evolution terrestrial life under multiple whole genome duplication events, and phylogeny early plants remains full controversy. Although much incongruence has been solved with so-called robust topology based on single or lower copy genes, evolutionary mechanisms behind phylogenetic such as polyploidization remain poorly understood. Here, through decreasing effects increasing samples species, which represent all four orders eight families...
Lycophytes are an ancient clade of the non-flowering vascular plants with chromosome numbers that vary from tens to hundreds. They excellent study system for examining whole-genome duplications (WGDs), or polyploidization, in spore-dispersed plants. However, a lack genome sequence data limits reliable detection very WGDs, small-scale (SSDs), and recent WGDs. Here, we integrated phylogenomic analysis distribution synonymous substitutions per sites (Ks) transcriptomes 13 species lycophytes...
