Cytomorphological Diversity in Some Species of Impatiens Linn. (Balsaminaceae) from Western Himalayas (India)
© 2010 The Japan Mendel Society Cytologia 75(4): 379–387, 2010 Cytomorphological Diversity in Some Species of Impatiens Linn. (Balsaminaceae) from Western Himalayas (India) Syed Mudassir Jeelani*, Savita Rani, Sanjeev Kumar, Raghbir Chand Gupta and Santosh Kumari Department of Botany, Punjabi University, Patiala 147 002, India Received May 28, 2010; accepted August 28, 2010 Summary The genus Impatiens Linn. belongs to the family Balsaminaceae and includes mostly wild as well as commonly cultivated ornamental plants. Nearly 91% of Indian species of Impatiens are reported to be endemic. To generate basic information on genetic diversity required for the improvement of germplasm, the present study has been carried out from the different selected parts of Western Himalayas such as Kashmir (J&K) and the Kangra and Sirmaur districts (H.P). During this study, 23 accessions belonging to 9 species of the genus Impatiens have been cytomorphologi- cally observed. The species being cytologically worked out for the first time on a worldwide basis include 2 species as I.laxiflora (nϭ7, 8) and I. reidii (nϭ7). Six aneuploid cytotypes have been reported for the first time for the species I. arguta (nϭ7), I. bicornuta (nϭ7), I. brachycentra (nϭ8), I. glandulifera (nϭ6), I. scabrida (nϭ6) and I. sulcata (nϭ8) on a worldwide basis. The meiotic course in most of these accessions has been observed to be normal except for some of the accessions of I. brachycentra, I. glandulifera, I. scabrida and I. sulcata marked with abnormal meiosis. Out of 4 species (6 accessions) marked with cytomixis, in 2 accessions, one for each of I. scabrida and I. -

Floating pennywort Hydrocotyle ranunculoides Invasive species identification guide Where is it found? Floating on the surface or emerging from still or slowly moving freshwater. Can be free floating or rooted. Similar to…… Marsh pennywort (see bottom left photo) – this has a smaller more rounded leaf that attaches to the stem in the centre rather than between two lobes. Will always be rooted and never free floating. Key features Lobed leaves Fleshy green or red stems Floating or rooted Forms dense interwoven mats Leaf Leaves can be up to 7cm in diameter. Lobed leaves can float on or stand above the water. Marsh pennywort Roots Up to 5cm Fine white Stem attaches in roots centre More rounded leaf Floating pennywort Larger lobed leaf Stem attaches between lobes Photos © GBNNSS Workstream title goes here Invasive species ID guide: Floating pennywort Management Floating pennywort is extremely difficult to control due to rapid growth rates (up to 20cm from the bank each day). Chemical control: Can use glyphosphate but plant does not rot down very quickly after treatment so vegetation should be removed after two to three weeks in flood risk areas. Regular treatment necessary throughout the growing season. -

Balsaminaceae are a morphologically diverse family with ca. 1,000 representatives that are mainly distributed in the Old World tropics and subtropics. To understand the relationships of its members, we obtained chloroplast atpB-rbcL sequences from 86 species of Balsaminaceae and five outgroups. Phylogenetic reconstructions using parsimony and Bayesian approaches provide a well-resolved phylogeny in which the sister group relationship between Impatiens and Hydrocera is confirmed. The overall topology of Impatiens is strongly supported and is geographically structured. Impatiens likely origi- nated in South China from which it colonized the adjacent regions and afterwards dispersed into North America, Africa, India, the Southeast Asian peninsula, and the Himalayan region. Balsaminaceae are annual or perennial herbs with in the intrageneric relationships of Impatiens. The most flowers that exhibit a remarkable diversity. The family recent molecular intrageneric study on Balsaminaceae consists of more than 1,000 species (Grey-Wilson utilized Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequences 1980a; Clifton 2000), but only two genera are recog- and provided new phylogenetic insights in Impatiens nized. -

Protologue: “Mozambique District, Moramballa, 2000 ft., on stones in streams”. Syntypes: J. Kirk s.n. (K!); H. Waller s.n. (K!). Lectotype (designated here): Mozambique, Moramballa, 0-3000 ft., Zambesi Expedition, H. Waller s.n. (K!-000419538). Notes: The name was published as ‘Walleriana’, which according to the ICBN (McNeill et al., 2006) is not a correctable error. The species is sometimes erroneously cited as ‘I. wallerana’. The other syntype, J. Kirk s.n. (K!), is also the holotype of Impatiens sultanii Hooker (1882: t. 6643), a synonym. The well-known bedding plant ‘busy lizzie’, Impatiens walleriana (Balsaminaceae), is a species occurring naturally in East Africa, where it can be found locally abundant in Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique. It is frequently associated with wet or humid habitats and can thus be found near streams, waterfalls and in gorges or in the understorey of wet forests. Elsewhere in the tropics and subtropics the species can commonly be found naturalised along roads, in secondary forests and other disturbed habitats, where it can form dominant stands, competing out other species (Richardson et al. 2000, Tabak & Wettenberg 2008). Impatiens walleriana was first discovered during one of Dr David Livingstone’s expeditions up the Zambezi River, where he travelled with Dr John Kirk and Ref. -

Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden Phylogenetic interrelationships in the enlarged order Ericales were investigated by jackknife analysis of a combination of DNA sequences from the plastid genes rbcL, ndhF, atpB, and the mitochondrial genes atp1 and matR. Several well-supported groups were identi®ed, but neither a combination of all gene sequences nor any one alone fully resolved the relationships between all major clades in Ericales. All investigated families except Theaceae were found to be monophyletic. Four families, Marcgraviaceae, Balsaminaceae, Pellicieraceae, and Tetrameristaceae form a monophyletic group that is the sister of the remaining families. On the next higher level, Fouquieriaceae and Polemoniaceae form a clade that is sister to the majority of families that form a group with eight supported clades between which the interrelationships are unresolved: Theaceae-Ternstroemioideae with Ficalhoa, Sladenia, and Pentaphylacaceae; Theaceae-Theoideae; Ebenaceae and Lissocarpaceae; Symplocaceae; Maesaceae, Theophrastaceae, Primulaceae, and Myrsinaceae; Styr- acaceae and Diapensiaceae; Lecythidaceae and Sapotaceae; Actinidiaceae, Roridulaceae, Sarraceniaceae, Clethraceae, Cyrillaceae, and Ericaceae.

Received: 21 December 2017; Accepted: 15 January 2018; Published: 22 January 2018 Abstract: The family Balsaminaceae, which consists of the economically important genus Impatiens and the monotypic genus Hydrocera, lacks a reported or published complete chloroplast genome sequence. Therefore, chloroplast genome sequences of the two sister genera are significant to give insight into the phylogenetic position and understanding the evolution of the Balsaminaceae family among the Ericales. In this study, complete chloroplast (cp) genomes of Impatiens pinfanensis and Hydrocera triflora were characterized and assembled using a high-throughput sequencing method. The complete cp genomes were found to possess the typical quadripartite structure of land plants chloroplast genomes with double-stranded molecules of 154,189 bp (Impatiens pinfanensis) and 152,238 bp (Hydrocera triflora) in length. -

It is similar to I. longiloba and I. siculifer, but differs in its lower sepal with a long arista at the apex of the mouth, spur curved downward or circinate, and lower petal that is oblong-elliptic and two times longer than the upper petal. Molecular analysis confirmed its placement in sect. Racemosae. Simultaneously, during the inspection of the protologues and type specimens of allied species, it was found that the types of two names from this section were syntypes based on Article 9.6 of the International Code Citation: Peng, S.; Rono, P.C.; Yang, J.-X.; Wang, J.-J.; Hu, G.-W.; Wang, of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Shenzhen Code).
