  • Linnaeus's Folly – Phylogeny, Evolution and Classification of Sedum

Messerschmid,1,2 Johannes T. Klein,3 Gudrun Kadereit2 & Joachim W. Kadereit1 1 Institut für Organismische und Molekulare Evolutionsbiologie, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, 55099 Mainz, Germany 2 Institut für Molekulare Physiologie, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, 55099 Mainz, Germany 3 Gothenburg Global Biodiversity Centre, Gothenburg, Sweden Address for correspondence: Thibaud Messerschmid, [email protected] DOI https://doi.org/10.1002/tax.12316 Abstract Sedum, containing approximately 470 species, is by far the largest genus of Crassulaceae. Three decades of molecular phy- logenetic work have provided evidence for the non-monophyly of Sedum and many more of the 30 genera of Crassulaceae subfam. Sempervivoideae. In this study, we present a broadly sampled and dated molecular phylogeny of Sempervivoideae including 80% of all infrageneric taxa described in Sedum as well as most other genera of the subfamily. We used sequences of one nuclear (ITS) and three plastid markers (matK, rps16, trnL-trnF). The five major lineages of Sempervivoideae (i.e., Telephium clade, Petrosedum clade, Sempervivum/Jovibarba, Aeonium clade, Leucosedum plus Acre clades) were resolved as successive sister to each other in the phylo- genetic analysis of the plastid markers, while in the ITS phylogeny the Petrosedum clade is the closest relative of the Aeonium clade. Our dating analysis of ITS suggests that Sempervivoideae diversified rapidly throughout the Paleocene and Eocene, possibly in the area of the former Tethys and Paratethys archipelago.

  • A Molecular Phylogenetic Study of the Genus Phedimus for Tracing the Origin of “Tottori Fujita” Cultivars
    plants Article A Molecular Phylogenetic Study of the Genus Phedimus for Tracing the Origin of “Tottori Fujita” Cultivars Sung Kyung Han 1 , Tae Hoon Kim 2 and Jung Sung Kim 1,* 1 Department of Forest Science, Chungbuk National University, Chungcheongbuk-do 28644, Korea; [email protected] 2 National Korea Forest Seed & Variety Center, Chungcheongbuk-do 27495, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 23 January 2020; Accepted: 14 February 2020; Published: 17 February 2020 Abstract: It is very important to confirm and understand the genetic background of cultivated plants used in multiple applications. The genetic background is the history of crossing between maternal and paternal plants to generate a cultivated plant. If the plant in question was generated from a simple origin and not complicated crossing, we can easily confirm the history using a phylogenetic tree based on molecular data. This study was conducted to trace the origin of “Tottori Fujita 1gou” and “Tottori Fujita 2gou”, which are registered as cultivars originating from Phedimus kamtschaticus. To investigate the phylogenetic position of these cultivars, the backbone tree of the genus Phedimus needed to be further constructed because it retains inarticulate phylogenetic relationships among the wild species. We performed molecular phylogenetic analysis for P. kamtschaticus, Phedimus takesimensis, Phedimus aizoon, and Phedimus middendorffianus, which are assumed as the species of origin for “Tottori Fujita 1gou” and “Tottori Fujita 2gou”. The molecular phylogenetic tree based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and psbA-trnH sequences showed the monophyly of the genus Phedimus, with P. takesimensis forming a single clade. However, P.

  • Pollen Morphology of the Family Crassulaceae from Pakistan and Kashmir and Its Taxonomic Implications
    Pak. J. Bot. 47(4): 1481-1493, 2015. POLLEN MORPHOLOGY OF THE FAMILY CRASSULACEAE FROM PAKISTAN AND KASHMIR AND ITS TAXONOMIC IMPLICATIONS MUHAMMAD QAISER, ANJUM PERVEEN AND GHULAM RASOOL SARWAR Centre for Plant Conservation, University of Karachi, Karachi-75270, Pakistan Abstract Pollen morphology of 28 species representing 9 genera viz., Bryophyllum, Kalanchoe, Pseudosedum, Rhodiola, Rosularia, Hylotelephium, Sedum, Tillaea and Orostachys of the family Crassulaceae from Pakistan has been studied by light and scanning electron microscope. Pollen grains are usually free, radially symmetrical, isopolar, sub-oblate to oblate- spheroidal, or prolate–spheroidal to subprolate often prolate and tricolporate. Tectum mostly striate-rugulate or sub-psilate rarely reticulate-rugulate. Significant variation is found in shape and exine ornamentation and on the basis these characters family has been divided into three pollen types’ viz., Rhodiola sinuata–type, Rosularia viguieri–type and Sedum hispanicum–type. Numerical analysis of based on pollen characters of 28 species was also carried out to determine the phylogenetic relationships of various genera and the species of the family Crassulaceae. Key words: Crassulaceae, Eurapalynous, Exine ornamentation and Pollen shape. Introduction intergenic region (cpDNA) in Sedum (Crassulaceae) and geographic distribution. There are no reports on the pollen Crassulaceae, a family of about 33 genera and c. 1500 morphology of the family Crassulaceae from Pakistan and species is distributed all over the world, more Kashmir. However, Numarical taxonomy of the Sedum and predominantly in the temperate and subtropical zones of Rosularia from Pakistan has been studied by Sarwar & the northern hemisphere and Africa (Mabberely, 1987).

  • Relationships of North American Members of Rhodiola (Crassulaceae) Joel P
    Pagination not final (cite DOI) / Pagination provisoire (citer le DOI) 1 ARTICLE Relationships of North American members of Rhodiola (Crassulaceae) Joel P. Olfelt and William A. Freyman Abstract: Taxa of Rhodiola L. (Crassulaceae) generally grow in arctic or alpine habitats. Some Rhodiola species are used medici- nally, one taxon, Rhodiola integrifolia Raf. subsp. leedyi (Rosend. & J.W.Moore) Moran, (Leedy’s roseroot), is rare and endangered, and the group’s biogeography in North America is intriguing because of distributional disjunctions and the possibility that Rhodiola rhodantha (A.Gray) H.Jacobsen (2n =7II) and Rhodiola rosea L. (2n =11II) hybridized to form Rhodiola integrifolia Raf. (2n =18II). Recent studies of the North American Rhodiola suggest that the group’s current taxonomy is misleading. We analyzed nuclear and chloroplast DNA sequences (internal transcribed spacer (ITS), trnL intron, trnL–trnF spacer, trnS–trnG spacer) from the North American Rhodiola taxa. We combined our data with GenBank sequences from Asian Rhodiola species, performed parsimony, maximum likelihood (ML), and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses, and applied a Bayesian clock model to the ITS data. Our analyses reveal two major Rhodiola clades, suggest that hybridization between R. rhodantha and R. rosea lineages was possible, show two distinct clades within R. integrifolia, and demonstrate that a Black Hills, South Dakota, Rhodiola population should be reclassified as Leedy’s roseroot. We recommend that R. integrifolia be revised, and that the Black Hills Leedy’s roseroot population be managed as part of that rare and endangered taxon. Key words: biogeography, conservation, Crassulaceae, Leedy’s roseroot, hybridization, Rhodiola. Résumé : Le taxon des Rhodiola L.

Great diversity of morphology, cytology and habit complicates systematics of the family and the relationships between species and genera remain poorly understood. Studies using various molecular markers placed Crassulaceae as one of Saxifragales crown groups and showed close relationships between the family and Haloragaceae, lacking any phenotypic background. Earlier molecular data analyses established a number of clades in the family and revealed a disagreement between the traditional taxonomic structure of Crassulaceae and the pattern of phylogenetic relationships between its members. In this paper, we review the major contributions to the phylogeny of Crassulaceae based on molecular data, with emphasis on the major clades established in the family, the clades’ structure and polyphyly of some genera. We describe the areas of conflict and agreement between molecular phylogenies and stress that morphological characters provide little evidence for inferring relationships between taxa even at low taxonomic levels. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
