In the present study, the diversity and community structure of culturable endophytic fungi (EF) associated with bryophytes, pteridophytes and spermatophytes collected from Dawei Mountain in China were investigated. A total of 2230 EF were isolated from 1440 segments of nine plant species. The colonization rate (CR) of bryophytes, pteridophytes and spermatophytes were 97.92%, 98.75% and 98.13%, respectively (P> 0.05, LSD test). Based on the morphological characteristics, 18S rDNA and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) analysis, the isolates were identified to 61 taxa, of which Colletotrichum and Xylaria were the most dominant genera, and their relative frequencies were 40.00% and 23.68%, respectively. Only 21 taxa were common between bryophytes, pteridophytes and spermatophytes, whereas, some endophytes showed host specificity or tissue preference, for example,Penicillium chrysogenum and P. daleae were found only in bryophytes. In addition to Colletotrichum and Xylaria, Trichoderma and Penicillium were the dominant genera in bryophytes. However, in pteridophytes and spermatophytes, Phomopsis was the dominant genus. The Shannon indices (H′) and the Sorenson’s coefficient similarity indices (CS) of EF from bryophytes, pteridophytes and spermatophytes ranged from 2.02 to 2.92 and 0.64 to 0.74, respectively. It was found that H′ of plants with different evolutional degree showed no significant difference P( > 0.05, LSD test). The CS of EF of two plant species with different evolutional degrees was not always lower than that of two plant species with the same evolutional degree. Key words: bryophyte, pteridophyte, spermatophyte, evolutionary degree, endophyte 1.

Various studies have range of over 2000m above sea level. It was not demonstrated that endophytes can have profound affected by the “Quaternary Glacier” period effects on plant ecology, fitness and evolution, [11], thus many old plant species have been affecting the diversity and structure of the plant retained, and the diversity of plant species is community [4-6]. In plant fossils formed 400 high [12-13], especially bryophyte, pteridophytes million years ago, endophytes have been found and spermatophytes. To compare the diversity [7]. Thus, the interaction between host plants and community structure of EF associated with and endophytes, particularly the possible role bryophytes, pteridophytes and spermatophytes, of endophytes in the evolution of plants has nine plant species (three bryophytes, three gained considerable momentum.

BRYOPHYTE LIFE CYCLE Gametophyte (n) UNDERSTANDING THE GERMINATION MALE ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS The way that almost all land plants reproduce is by means of two distinct, alternating life forms, a sexual phase that produces and releases gametes or sex cells and allows fertilisation, and a dispersal phase – both of which are adaptations to an essentially waterless environment. The sexual phase is known as the GAMETOPHYTE or haploid spores (n) generation and the dispersal phase is the SPOROPHYTE or diploid (2n) generation. Mature gametophyte plants produce haploid sex cells (egg and sperm) in sex organs (the male antheridia and female archegonia). These sex cells (also called gametes) fuse during fertilisation to form a diploid (2n) zygote which COPING OUT OF WATER grows, by means of mitosis (that results in two daughter cells each having Sperm (n) the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent cell), into a new released Bryophytes, which include moss, are primitive plants that give us some idea sporophyte plant. The diploid sporophyte produces haploid (n) spores (i.e. from male of how the first plants that ventured onto land coped with their new waterless FEMALE each spore has a single set of chromosomes) by means of the process environment. They share many features with other plants, but differ in some of cell division called meiosis.

Microfossil dataindicate that Mid ^Late Ordovicianland plants possessed such alifecycle, and that the originof alternationof generationspreceded this date.Molecular phylogenetic data unambiguously relate charophyceangreen algae to the ancestryof monophyletic embryophytes, and identify bryophytes as early-divergentland plants. Comparison of reproduction in charophyceans and bryophytes suggests that the followingstages occurredduring evolutionary origin of embryophytic alternation of generations: (i) originof oogamy;(ii) retention ofeggsand zygotes on the parentalthallus; (iii) originof matrotrophy (regulatedtransfer ofnutritional and morphogenetic solutes fromparental cells tothe nextgeneration); (iv)origin of a multicellularsporophyte generation ;and(v) origin of non-£ agellate, walled spores. Oogamy,egg/zygoteretention andmatrotrophy characterize at least some moderncharophyceans, and arepostulated to represent pre-adaptativefeatures inherited byembryophytes from ancestral charophyceans.Matrotrophy is hypothesizedto have preceded originof the multicellularsporophytes of plants,and to represent acritical innovation.Molecular

  • Extant Diversity of Bryophytes Emerged from Successive Post-Mesozoic Diversification Bursts

Shaw3,* Unraveling the macroevolutionary history of bryophytes, which arose soon after the origin of land plants but exhibit substantially lower species richness than the more recently derived angiosperms, has been challenged by the scarce fossil record. Here we demonstrate that overall estimates of net species diversification are approximately half those reported in ferns and B30% those described for angiosperms. Nevertheless, statistical rate analyses on time- calibrated large-scale phylogenies reveal that mosses and liverworts underwent bursts of diversification since the mid-Mesozoic. The diversification rates further increase in specific lineages towards the Cenozoic to reach, in the most recently derived lineages, values that are comparable to those reported in angiosperms. This suggests that low diversification rates do not fully account for current patterns of bryophyte species richness, and we hypothesize that, as in gymnosperms, the low extant bryophyte species richness also results from massive extinctions. 1 Department of Conservation Biology and Evolution, Institute of Botany, University of Lie`ge, Lie`ge 4000, Belgium. 2 Institut fu¨r Systematische Botanik, University of Zu¨rich, Zu¨rich 8008, Switzerland.

Suarez11, Miska Luoto12, Antoine Guisan1,* & Alain Vanderpoorten2,* It remains hotly debated whether latitudinal diversity gradients are common across taxonomic groups and whether a single mechanism can explain such gradients. Investigating species richness (SR) patterns of European land plants, we determine whether SR increases with decreasing latitude, as predicted by theory, and whether the assembly mechanisms differ among taxonomic groups. SR increases towards the south in spermatophytes, but towards the north in ferns and bryophytes. SR patterns in spermatophytes are consistent with their patterns of beta diversity, with high levels of nestedness and turnover in the north and in the south, respectively, indicating species exclusion towards the north and increased opportunities for speciation in the south. Liverworts exhibit the highest levels of nestedness, suggesting that they represent the most sensitive group to the impact of past climate change. Nevertheless, although the extent of liverwort species turnover in the south is substantially and significantly lower than in spermatophytes, liverworts share with the latter a higher nestedness in the north and a higher turn-over in the south, in contrast to mosses and ferns. The extent to which the similarity in the patterns displayed by spermatophytes and liverworts reflects a similar assembly mechanism remains, however, to be demonstrated.
