Miq., (Sapotaceae), originated from Africa, were introduced to coastal areas in Ecuador where it is not extensively used as a traditional medicine to treat various human diseases. Different therapeutically uses of the species include: analgesic, antimicrobial, hypoglycemic, inflammation and pain relieve associated with bone and articulation-related diseases. Furthermore, Mimusops coriacea could be used as anti-oxidant agent. However, botanical, chemical or molecular barcode information related to this much used species is not available from Ecuador. In this study, morphological characterization was performed from leaves, stem and seeds. Furthermore, genetic characterization was performed using molecular barcodes for rbcL, matk, ITS1 and ITS2 using DNA extracted from leaves. Methods: Macro-morphological description was performed on fresh leaves, stem Submitted 25 March 2019 and seeds. For anatomical evaluation, tissues were embedded in paraffin and Accepted 29 August 2019 transversal dissections were done following incubation with sodium hypochlorite Published 11 October 2019 and safranin for coloration and fixated later in glycerinated gelatin.

  • Accounting for Variation of Substitution Rates Through Time in Bayesian Phylogeny Reconstruction of Sapotoideae (Sapotaceae)
    Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 39 (2006) 706–721 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Accounting for variation of substitution rates through time in Bayesian phylogeny reconstruction of Sapotoideae (Sapotaceae) Jenny E.E. Smedmark ¤, Ulf Swenson, Arne A. Anderberg Department of Phanerogamic Botany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, P.O. Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden Received 9 September 2005; revised 4 January 2006; accepted 12 January 2006 Available online 21 February 2006 Abstract We used Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of 5 kb of chloroplast DNA data from 68 Sapotaceae species to clarify phylogenetic relation- ships within Sapotoideae, one of the two major clades within Sapotaceae. Variation in substitution rates through time was shown to be a very important aspect of molecular evolution for this data set. Relative rates tests indicated that changes in overall rate have taken place in several lineages during the history of the group and Bayes factors strongly supported a covarion model, which allows the rate of a site to vary over time, over commonly used models that only allow rates to vary across sites. Rate variation over time was actually found to be a more important model component than rate variation across sites. The covarion model was originally developed for coding gene sequences and has so far only been tested for this type of data. The fact that it performed so well with the present data set, consisting mainly of data from noncoding spacer regions, suggests that it deserves a wider consideration in model based phylogenetic inference. Repeatability of phylogenetic results was very diYcult to obtain with the more parameter rich models, and analyses with identical settings often supported diVerent topologies.

For most groups however, methodological protocols are still missing. Here Gene capture we identified531 monocopy genes and 227 Short Tandem Repeats (STR) markers and tested them on Sapotaceae STR using target capture and NGS. The probes were designed using two genome skimming samples from Capur­ Phylogenetics odendron delphinense and Bemangidia lowryi, both from the Tseboneae tribe, as well as the published Manilkara Population genetics Species tree zapota transcriptome from the Sapotoideae tribe. We combined our probes with 261 additional ones previously Tropical trees published and designed for the entire angiosperm group. On a total of 792 low-copy genes, 638 showed no signs of paralogy and were used to build a phylogeny of the family with 231 individuals from all main lineages.

  • Taxonomic Revision of the Genus Manilkara ( Sapotaceae) in Madagascar

PLANA1 &L.GAUTIER2 A revision of the five Madagascan species of the genus Manilkara (Sapotaceae)is presented, including a key, descriptions, diagnostic characters, ecological notes and a distribution map. Of the seven species originally described by Aubre´ville, Manilkara tampoloensis is placed in synonymy with M. boivinii, and M. sohihy is removed from the genus and placed within the existing Labramia boivinii (Pierre) Aubre´v. Keywords. Madagascar, Manilkara, Sapotaceae, taxonomic revision. Introduction The genus Manilkara Adans., probably best known for American species such as M. zapota (sapodilla) and M. chicle (chicle), is a pantropical genus comprising c.82 species (Govaerts et al., 2001). Of these, approximately one third are found in Africa (Plana, in prep.) and Madagascar. Although the Madagascan species of Manilkara share some characteristics with mainland African species, none are found in Africa. Afro-Madagascan species can be divided, according to their gross morphology, into three broad biogeographic regions: Madagascar, East and South Africa, and Central and West Africa. Malagasy species share characteristics with species in both regions, where they are commonly constituents of evergreen forest. Manilkara is one of six genera constituting the subtribe Manilkarinae H.J.Lam (tribe Mimusopeae Hartog) (Pennington, 1991) which also includes Labramia A.DC., Faucherea Lecomte, Northia Hook.f., Labourdonnaisia Bojer and Letestua Lecomte.

The plant species occupies the mid-western part of Morocco and provides great environmental and socioeconomic benefits. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome of A. spinosa was sequenced, assembled, and analyzed in comparison with those of two Sapotaceae members. The A. spinosa cp genome is 158,848 bp long, with an average GC content of 36.8%. The cp genome exhibits a typical quadripartite and circular structure consisting of a pair of inverted regions (IR) of 25,945 bp in length separating small single-copy (SSC) and large single-copy (LSC) regions of 18,591 and 88,367 bp, respectively.

  • Towards an Account of Sapotaceae for Flora Malesiana
    Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore 63(1 & 2): 145–153. 2011 145 Towards an account of Sapotaceae for Flora Malesiana Peter Wilkie Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, 20a Inverleith Row, Edinburgh, EH3 5LR, U.K. p.wilkie@rbge.ac.uk ABSTRACT. An overview of the pan-tropical family Sapotaceae is provided with particular focus on the Malesian region. Past and current taxonomic and phylogenetic research is summarised and publications relating to the production of a Flora Malesiana Sapotaceae account highlighted. Challenges to delivering a Flora Malesiana account are identified and some potential solutions suggested. Keywords. Flora Malesiana, Sapotaceae, systematics, taxonomy Introduction Sapotaceae is a pantropical family of trees and shrubs and is composed of about 50 genera and 1000 species. In Malesia there are an estimated 15 genera and 300 species. The family is ecologically important with representatives of the family common in the forests of Malesia. They occur from beach forests at sea level to mossy montane forests at over 4000 m altitude. The family is economically important and produces the important heavy hardwood timber, Bitis (mainly Madhuca utilis (Ridl.) H.J.Lam, Palaquium ridleyi King & Gamble and Palaquium stellatum King & Gamble) and the light to medium hardwood, Nyatoh, from many other species (Ng 1972). The family also produces edible fruit with Manilkara zapota (L.) P.Royen (sapodilla plum, ciku), and Chrysophyllum cainito L. (star apple), introduced from Central America, the most widely cultivated. The latex produced from Palaquium gutta (Hook.) Burck (Gutta Percha) has been used in the insulation of cables, golf balls and in root fillings in dentistry (Burkill 1966, Boer & Ella 2000).

PhytoKeys 170: 45–69. https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.170.54718 Abstract Sapotaceae is historically known as having a tricky and challenging taxonomy due to tangled morphologic heterogeneity. Consequently, this resulted in a large number of described genera and binomials. After Pennington’s Flora Neotropica work, several of those nomenclature issues were resolved. Nevertheless, many binomials remain unsolved and up for typification. Thus, following the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants, we propose 74 new lectotype designations, four of these are second-step typifications. Keywords Ericales, historical botany, lectotypification, nomenclature Introduction Sapotaceae has 65–70 genera with around 1,250 species and is an important plant component from tropical regions in the world (Swenson et al. 2020). It is an economi- cally interesting family by providing latex-derived products such as gutta-percha and chewing gum, valuable and durable timber and edible fruits (Pennington 1990, 1991).
