The Distribution and Host Range of Thecaphora Melandrii, with First Records for Britain
KEW BULLETIN (2020) 75:39 ISSN: 0075-5974 (print) DOI 10.1007/S12225-020-09895-3 ISSN: 1874-933X (electronic) The distribution and host range of Thecaphora melandrii, with first records for Britain Paul A. Smith1 , Matthias Lutz2 & Marcin Piątek3 Summary. Thecaphora melandrii (Syd.) Vánky & M.Lutz infects species in the Caryophyllacaeae forming sori with spore balls in the floral organs. We report new finds from Britain, supported by phylogenetic analysis, that confirm its occurrence on Silene uniflora Roth. We review published and web accessible records and note the relatively few records of this smut, its sparse distribution, confined to Europe but scattered predominantly from central to eastern Europe. Analysis of the rDNA ITS and 28S sequences demonstrates little variability among specimens, even those parasitising different host genera, which suggests that the species has evolved relatively recently. Some Microbotryum species infect the same host plants, and we found two species, M. lagerheimii Denchev and M. silenes- inflatae (DC. ex Liro) G.Deml & Oberw., in the same locations as T. melandrii, identified by morphology and molecular phylogenetic analysis. These species may form a stable multi-species community of parasites of Silene uniflora. Key Words. Caryophyllaceae, gall, Glomosporiaceae, Microbotryum, Silene uniflora, smut. Introduction Caryophyllaceae, and specifically on T. melandrii (Syd.) The Caryophyllaceae is a large family of dicotyledonous Vánky & M.Lutz. Vánky (2012) lists five species of plants (Greenberg & Donoghue 2011), and its species Thecaphora with hosts in this family, all destroying the are hosts for many plant-parasitic microfungi, among inner floral organs; most remain within the outer floral them at least 38 species of smut fungi assigned to the envelope (the calyx), but T. -
Untangling Phylogenetic Patterns and Taxonomic Confusion in Tribe Caryophylleae (Caryophyllaceae) with Special Focus on Generic

This challenge is most serious in tribe Caryophylleae since the supposed genera seem to be highly artificial, and the available morphological evidence cannot effectively be used for delimitation and exact determination of taxa. The main goal of the present study was to re-assess the monophyly of the genera currently recognized in this tribe using molecular phylogenetic data. We used the sequences of nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the chloroplast gene rps16 for 135 and 94 accessions, respectively, representing all 16 genera currently recognized in the tribe Caryophylleae, with a rich sampling of Gypsophila as one of the most heterogeneous groups in the tribe. -
Floristic Quality Assessment Report
FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN INDIANA: THE CONCEPT, USE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF COEFFICIENTS OF CONSERVATISM Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) the State tree of Indiana June 2004 Final Report for ARN A305-4-53 EPA Wetland Program Development Grant CD975586-01 Prepared by: Paul E. Rothrock, Ph.D. Taylor University Upland, IN 46989-1001 Introduction Since the early nineteenth century the Indiana landscape has undergone a massive transformation (Jackson 1997). In the pre-settlement period, Indiana was an almost unbroken blanket of forests, prairies, and wetlands. Much of the land was cleared, plowed, or drained for lumber, the raising of crops, and a range of urban and industrial activities. Indiana’s native biota is now restricted to relatively small and often isolated tracts across the State. This fragmentation and reduction of the State’s biological diversity has challenged Hoosiers to look carefully at how to monitor further changes within our remnant natural communities and how to effectively conserve and even restore many of these valuable places within our State. To meet this monitoring, conservation, and restoration challenge, one needs to develop a variety of appropriate analytical tools. Ideally these techniques should be simple to learn and apply, give consistent results between different observers, and be repeatable. Floristic Assessment, which includes metrics such as the Floristic Quality Index (FQI) and Mean C values, has gained wide acceptance among environmental scientists and decision-makers, land stewards, and restoration ecologists in Indiana’s neighboring states and regions: Illinois (Taft et al. 1997), Michigan (Herman et al. 1996), Missouri (Ladd 1996), and Wisconsin (Bernthal 2003) as well as northern Ohio (Andreas 1993) and southern Ontario (Oldham et al. -

Abstract Cases of parallel ecological divergence in closely related taxa offer an invaluable material to study the processes of ecological speciation. Applying a combination of population genetic and metagenomic tools on a high-coverage RAD sequencing dataset, we test for parallel evolution across six population pairs of Heliosperma pusillum and H. veselskyi (Caryophyllaceae), two plant species found in the south-eastern Alps and characterized by clear morphological (glabrous vs. hairy) and ecological (alpine vs. montane, wet vs. dry) differentiation. Our analyses support a scenario of multiple independent instances of divergence between these species during the last 10,000 years. Structure analyses and simulations show that interspecific gene flow in each population pair is very low. A single locus, annotated as E3 ubiquitin ligase, an enzyme involved in plant innate immunity, shows a pattern of non-random segregation across populations of both species. -

Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Science and Technology 328. 34 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-554-6946-7. Heliosperma (nom. cons prop.) comprises 15—20 taxa, most of them endemic to the Balkan Peninsula. DNA sequences from the chloroplast (rps16 intron, psbE-petG spacer) and the nuclear genome (ITS and four putatively unlinked RNA polymerase genes) are used to elucidate phylogenetic relationships within Heliosperma, and its position within Sileneae. Three main lineages are found within Heliosperma: Heliosperma alpestre, H. macranthum and the H. pusillum-clade. The relationships among the lineages differ between the plastid and the nuclear trees. Relative dates are used to discriminate among inter- and intralineage processes causing such incongruences, and ancient homoploid hybridisation is the most likely explanation. The chloroplast data strongly support two, geographically correlated clades in the H. pusillum-group, whereas the relationships appear poorly resolved by the ITS data, when analysed under a phylogenetic tree model. However, a network analysis finds a geographic structuring similar to that in the chloroplast data. -

Schäfer & Andrey Yurkov & Dominik Begerow Received: 29 December 2011 /Accepted: 2 October 2012 /Published online: 6 November 2012 # Gesellschaft für Biologische Systematik 2012 Abstract Anther smuts in the genus Microbotryum often is a factor that should be taken into consideration in delimitat- show very high host specificity toward their caryophyllaceous ing species. Parasites on Dianthus showed mainly an arbitrary hosts, but some of the larger host groups such as Dianthus are distribution on Dianthus hosts, whereas parasites on other crucially undersampled for these parasites so that the question Caryophyllaceae formed well-supported monophyletic clades of host specificity cannot be answered conclusively. In this that corresponded to restricted host groups. The same pattern study we sequenced the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) was observed in the Caryophyllaceae studied: morphological- region of members of the Microbotryum dianthorum species ly described Dianthus species did not correspond well with complex as well as their Dianthus hosts. We compared phy- monophyletic clades based on molecular data, whereas other logenetic trees of these parasites including sequences of anther Caryophyllaceae mainly did. We suggest that these different smuts from other Caryophyllaceae, mainly Silene,withphy- patterns primarily result from different breeding systems and logenies of Caryophyllaceae that are known to harbor anther speciation times between different host groups as well as smuts. Additionally we tested whether observed patterns in difficulties in species delimitations in the genus Dianthus. -
