  • Davallia Denticulata L 1101000110101001210 D
    J EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY LIBRARY Shelf Mark __l UniversityH Edinburgh 30150 024493592 Systematic Study on Davalliaceae in Peninsular Malaysia Haja Maideen Kader Maideen Doctor of Philosophy The University of Edinburgh Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh 2008 Abstract Davalliaceae is a fern family established by A. B. Frank in 1877, based on the genus Davallia. It contains about 150 species in 8-12 genera and is restricted to the Old World tropics and subtropics. They are mostly epiphytes with long creeping fleshy rhizomes covered with peltate scales. In Peninsular Malaysia, the Davallioid ferns belong to Davallia Sm., Humata Cav., Leucostegia C. Presl and Araiostegia Copel. (Parris & Latiff, 1997). This study used morphological, cytological and molecular (three chloroplast regions) data in an attempt to classify Davalliaceae, especially in Peninsular Malaysia. The results presented in this thesis showed moderate to strong support for the paraphyly of genera in Davalliaceae, especially in Peninsular Malaysia. The results were incongruent with the latest classification based on morphology (Nooteboom, 1998) but congruent with a global study based on molecular data. The phylogeny showed that Leucostegia doest not belong to Davalliaceae. Four major clades were recognised in Davalliaceae, namely the Araiostegia Clade (AC); Davallia with two clades: Davallia Clade I (denticulata clade and dimorpha-divaricata clade), Davallia Clade II (scyphularia-solida clade and trichomanoides clade) and the Humata clade (HC). Maximum parsimony and Bayesian analyses of rps4 + rps4-trnS IGS and combined three regions produced congruent topologies, but the topologies ofrbcL and trnL-F region produced only slight differences. The expanded rbcL data also showed that all species were fully resolved without having a separated/regional clade.

  • Fern Classification
    16 Fern classification ALAN R. SMITH, KATHLEEN M. PRYER, ERIC SCHUETTPELZ, PETRA KORALL, HARALD SCHNEIDER, AND PAUL G. WOLF 16.1 Introduction and historical summary / Over the past 70 years, many fern classifications, nearly all based on morphology, most explicitly or implicitly phylogenetic, have been proposed. The most complete and commonly used classifications, some intended primar• ily as herbarium (filing) schemes, are summarized in Table 16.1, and include: Christensen (1938), Copeland (1947), Holttum (1947, 1949), Nayar (1970), Bierhorst (1971), Crabbe et al. (1975), Pichi Sermolli (1977), Ching (1978), Tryon and Tryon (1982), Kramer (in Kubitzki, 1990), Hennipman (1996), and Stevenson and Loconte (1996). Other classifications or trees implying relationships, some with a regional focus, include Bower (1926), Ching (1940), Dickason (1946), Wagner (1969), Tagawa and Iwatsuki (1972), Holttum (1973), and Mickel (1974). Tryon (1952) and Pichi Sermolli (1973) reviewed and reproduced many of these and still earlier classifica• tions, and Pichi Sermolli (1970, 1981, 1982, 1986) also summarized information on family names of ferns. Smith (1996) provided a summary and discussion of recent classifications. With the advent of cladistic methods and molecular sequencing techniques, there has been an increased interest in classifications reflecting evolutionary relationships. Phylogenetic studies robustly support a basal dichotomy within vascular plants, separating the lycophytes (less than 1 % of extant vascular plants) from the euphyllophytes (Figure 16.l; Raubeson and Jansen, 1992, Kenrick and Crane, 1997; Pryer et al., 2001a, 2004a, 2004b; Qiu et al., 2006). Living euphyl• lophytes, in turn, comprise two major clades: spermatophytes (seed plants), which are in excess of 260 000 species (Thorne, 2002; Scotland and Wortley, Biology and Evolution of Ferns and Lycopliytes, ed.

This study analyzed a molecular phylogeny of 36 species in five genera. Deduced phylogenetic relationships based on a combined dataset of five continuous chloroplast regions, atpB, rbcL, accD, atpB-rbcL spacer, and rbcL-accD spacer, are incongruent to any previous classifications, and none of the genera are monophyletic. Araiostegia is divided to two clades, one of which is the most basal and includes Davallodes, and the other is nested within the rest of the family. Davallia is divided into three clades, in accordance with three sections classified mainly by scale morphologies, and the clades are separated by the intervention of a clade of Araiostegia, Humata and Scyphularia. Humata and Scyphularia are also paraphyletic. INTRODUCTION Davalliaceae is an epiphytic leptosporangiate fern family. Most species are distributed in the humid tropics of Asia, Australasia, and the Pacific islands, and a few others occur in Europe, Africa and nearby islands.

Sin. 13 (1975) 96. — Type genus: Hypodema- tium Kunze. Plants terrestrial or on rocks. Rhizome dorsiventral, vertical or horizontally creeping; scales basifixed, not cordate. Fronds tri- to quadripinnate, glabrous or with hairs and/ or scales. Sori indusiate, indusium rounded or elongate, sometimes reniform, attached at the base and sometimes also at the sides. DISTRIBUTION Three genera and c. 15 species in East Asia, Malesia and Pacific Islands; one genus in all parts of the moist tropics. NOTE According to Smith et al. (2006) Dryopteridaceae, is almost certainly monophyletic, if Didymochlaena, Hypodematium, and Leucostegia are excluded. Schuettpelz & Pryer (2008) included for the first time all three genera in one analysis. They confirmed the conclusion of Smith et al.

  • Phytochrome Diversity in Green Plants and the Origin of Canonical Plant Phytochromes
    ARTICLE Received 25 Feb 2015 | Accepted 19 Jun 2015 | Published 28 Jul 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms8852 OPEN Phytochrome diversity in green plants and the origin of canonical plant phytochromes Fay-Wei Li1, Michael Melkonian2, Carl J. Rothfels3, Juan Carlos Villarreal4, Dennis W. Stevenson5, Sean W. Graham6, Gane Ka-Shu Wong7,8,9, Kathleen M. Pryer1 & Sarah Mathews10,w Phytochromes are red/far-red photoreceptors that play essential roles in diverse plant morphogenetic and physiological responses to light. Despite their functional significance, phytochrome diversity and evolution across photosynthetic eukaryotes remain poorly understood. Using newly available transcriptomic and genomic data we show that canonical plant phytochromes originated in a common ancestor of streptophytes (charophyte algae and land plants). Phytochromes in charophyte algae are structurally diverse, including canonical and non-canonical forms, whereas in land plants, phytochrome structure is highly conserved. Liverworts, hornworts and Selaginella apparently possess a single phytochrome, whereas independent gene duplications occurred within mosses, lycopods, ferns and seed plants, leading to diverse phytochrome families in these clades. Surprisingly, the phytochrome portions of algal and land plant neochromes, a chimera of phytochrome and phototropin, appear to share a common origin. Our results reveal novel phytochrome clades and establish the basis for understanding phytochrome functional evolution in land plants and their algal relatives. 1 Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708, USA. 2 Botany Department, Cologne Biocenter, University of Cologne, 50674 Cologne, Germany. 3 University Herbarium and Department of Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720, USA. 4 Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH3 5LR, UK. 5 New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York 10458, USA.

  • The Marattiales and Vegetative Features of the Polypodiids We Now
    VI. Ferns I: The Marattiales and Vegetative Features of the Polypodiids We now take up the ferns, order Marattiales - a group of large tropical ferns with primitive features - and subclass Polypodiidae, the leptosporangiate ferns. (See the PPG phylogeny on page 48a: Susan, Dave, and Michael, are authors.) Members of these two groups are spore-dispersed vascular plants with siphonosteles and megaphylls. A. Marattiales, an Order of Eusporangiate Ferns The Marattiales have a well-documented history. They first appear as tree ferns in the coal swamps right in there with Lepidodendron and Calamites. (They will feature in your second critical reading and writing assignment in this capacity!) The living species are prominent in some hot forests, both in tropical America and tropical Asia. They are very like the leptosporangiate ferns (Polypodiids), but they differ in having the common, primitive, thick-walled sporangium, the eusporangium, and in having a distinctive stele and root structure. 1. Living Plants Go with your TA to the greenhouse to view the potted Angiopteris. The largest of the Marattiales, mature Angiopteris plants bear fronds up to 30 feet in length! a.These plants, like all ferns, have megaphylls. These megaphylls are divided into leaflets called pinnae, which are often divided even further. The feather-like design of these leaves is common among the ferns, suggesting that ferns have some sort of narrow definition to the kinds of leaf design they can evolve. b. The leaflets are borne on stem-like axes called rachises, which, as you can see, have swollen bases on some of the plants in the lab.
