HYPNALES, MUSCI) BASED on CHLOROPLAST Rbcl SEQUENCE DATA 1 J. Hattori Bot. lab.

NAKA0 , TOMIO YAMAGUCHI , TAROW SEKI3 AND HlRONORI DEGUCHI2 ABSTRACT: Distinction between the Hypnaceae and the Sematophyllaceae is controversial. Taxonom­ ic position of the genera Brotherella, Wijkia and its allies is still fluctuating and has been repeatedly discussed. A phylogenetic study was carried out to investigate the phylogenetic position of the genera Brotherella, Wijkia and their allies, based on phylogenetic analyses of the chloroplast ribulose 1,5- bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit (rbcL) gene data. Chloroplast rbcL genes from eight mosses were newly sequenced. Phylogenetic trees were constructed by neighbor-joining (NJ), minimum-evolution (ME), maximum-parsimony (MP) and maximum-likelihood (ML) methods for 30 rbcL sequences. The results suggest that the genus Brotherella and its allies (Pylaisiadelpha tenuirostris, Wijkia hornschuchii and Heterophy/lium nematosum) are monophyletic with high boot­ strap support. Hypnum tristo-viride is also included in the Brotherella clade. The Sematophyllaceae (sensu Seki 1968) are paraphyletic to the Brotherella clade. These results support the conclusion that the Sematophyllaceae (sensu present), including Brotherella and its allies, are monophyletic. The present study also suggests that the genus Entodon should be placed in a clade sister to the Semato­ phyllaceae (sensu present). The results show the need to reconsider the familial circumscription of the Hypnaceae and Sematophyllaceae. KEY WORDS : Brotherella, Wijkia , Hypnum, Sematophyllaceae, Hypnaceae, rbcL, molecular phylogeny INTRODUCTION Distinction between the Hypnaceae and the Sematophyllaceae has been controversial, especially concerning the phylogenetic position of the genera Brotherella, Pylaisiadelpha, Wijkia and Heterophyllium. The families Hypnaceae (with ea 40 genera: Vitt 1984) and the Sematophyllaceae (with ea 50: Vitt 1984), are among the most diversified taxonomic groups in the mosses. The taxonomic relationship of the genera in the Sematophyllaceae and the Hypnaceae is still fluctuating, and has been repeatedly discussed together with cir­ cumscriptions of the families. Vitt ( 1984) provided a new system for classification of pleurocarpous Bryopsida. That system suggested that a "double costa group" as represented by the Hypnaceae, the Se­ matophyllaceae and the Entodontaceae, is divergent from a group with a single costa, 1 Contribution from the Laboratory of Plant Taxonomy and Ecology, Hiroshima University.

Hattori Bot. Lab. No. 88 2 0 0 0 which can be regarded as the most recent evolutionary stage of the order Hypnales ( = Hyp­ nobryales). The Sematophyllaceae were placed close to the Entodontaceae on the basis of morphological and ecological characters. Later, Buck & Vitt ( 1986) proposed another new classification for pleurocarpous mosses, following the familial arrangement of Vitt ( 1984). There still remain a variety of opinions on the taxonomic treatments of the Hypnaceae and the Sematophyllaceae (cf. Nishimura et al. 1984; Ando, Seki & Schofield 1989; Iwatsuki 1991; Hedenas 1995; Tan & Jia 1999). Horikawa & Seki (1960) reviewed the genus Brotherella, and taxonomically revised B. complanata and its relatives on the basis of statistical and ecological discussions of the species. Seki ( 1968), thereafter, published a taxonomic treatment of the Japanese Semato­ phyllaceae, introducing numerical taxonomy to Japanese bryology. He regarded the sporo­ phytic characters such as peristome and exothecial cells as significant for taxonomic recog­ nition, and treated taxa with Jess well-developed inner peristome teeth as members of the family Sematophyllaceae. He defined the Sematophyllaceae in a narrower sense, excluding the genera Brotherella and Heterophyllium from the family, and placed them in the Hyp­ naceae. Subsequently, Nishimura et al. (1984) and Ando et al. (1989) discussed the relation­ ships between the Hypnaceae and their relatives including the Sematophyllaceae. Nishimura et al. (1984) considered the well-developed alar cells a remarkable character to recognize the family Sematophyllaceae. Though they supported Seki 's (1968) treatment of Heterophyllium as a member of the Hypnaceae, they suggested that Brotherella and Wijkia should be placed in the Sematophyllaceae (s. lat.). They also included the genus Plagiothe­ cium in subfamily Plagiothecioideae of the Hypnaceae. Buck ( 1986) reviewed the genus Wijkia, and placed it in the Sematophyllaceae, em­ phasizing characters such as golden-green plant color, frequently turning a purer gold on aging, leaf cells thick-walled, and alar cells colored enlarged and inflated. He also pointed to the habitat preference for growing on twigs or logs. Buck (1984) treated Brotherella as a taxonomic synonym of Pylaisiadelpha. Ando et al. (1989), however, recognized the two genera as taxonomically distinct, providing diagnostic characters to distinguish Brotherella from Pylaisiadelpha. In turn, Hedenas (1996) suggested that a large number of the species of the Sematophyllaceae form a single clade, though the clade patterns were not consistent. Recently, Tan & Jia ( 1998) made a cladistic study on the Sematophyllaceae using the genus Hypnum as outgroup, and regarded the family as paraphyletic. Hedenas & Buck ( 1999) also reevaluated the Sematophyllaceae based on morphological and anatomical characters with a cladistic method. They suggested that the family could be subdivided into two sub­ families (Sematophylloideae and Wijkioideae ), and the 14 genera, such as Brotherella, Py­ laisiadelpha, lsocladiella and Heterophyllium, could be included in "Hypnaceae" or Hook­ eriaceae. Tan & Jia ( 1999) monographed the Chinese Sematophyllaceae, in which they also treated the genera Brotherella and Pylaisiadelpha as separate and included in the Semato­ phyllaceae following Vitt (1984). They treated Pylaisiadelpha tenuirostris and P yoko­ hamae (=Brotherella yokohamae) as independent species from one another although they were considered as conspecific by Ando et al. ( 1989). H. TsusoTA et al. : Phylogenetic relationships of the genus Brotherel/a and its allied genera 81 The family Sematophyllaceae is defined variously below with the following indica­ tion: the familial definition by Seki ( 1968), "(sensu Seki)"; by Nishimura et al. (1984), "(sensu Nishimura et al.)"; by Vitt ( 1984) and Buck & Vitt ( 1986), "(sensu Buck & Vitt)"; and by the present study including some species and genera treated as members of the Hypnaceae, "(sensu present)". The definition without the word "sensu" means the tradi­ tional conceptual sense or the Sematophyllaceae sensu Jato, including some species and genera whose position have been discussed with the family. Phylogenetic analyses of the Hypnales with molecular data have been attempted by Tsubota et al. (1999), Arikawa & Higuchi (1999), De Luna et al. ( 1999) and De Luna et al. (2000). The relationships among taxa in the Hypnales, however, have not been discussed comprehensively. The purpose of this study is to make clear the phylogenetic position of the genera Brotherella, Pylaisiadelpha, Wijkia and Heterophy/lium, and to approach a clas­ sification of the Sematophyllaceae. We also discuss the phylogenetic relationship among the Hypnaceae, the Sematophyllaceae and the Entodontaceae, as inferred from the molecu­ lar data. MATERIALS AND M ETHODS This study consists of two steps: (I) obtaining sequence data (DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and DNA sequencing), and (2) data analyses. Total DNA was extracted by two methods: phenol-chloroform method and CTAB method. The former method follows Tsubota et al. (I 999) and the latter is shown below. Thirty species of mosses were examined as shown in Table I and in Appendix A. The latter contains voucher information and DDBJ Accession Nos., including 19 species of Brothere/la and others in the Sematophyllaceae and the Hypnaceae, and 8 species of other families in the Hypnales and their allies, and 3 species of other orders as outgroups. The rbcL gene sequences of 8 species were newly obtained, with voucher specimens deposited in HIRO. DNA Extraction Total DNAs were extracted from fresh materials or dried herbarium specimens follow­ ing modifications of Murray & Thompson (I 980) and Arikawa & Higuchi ( 1999). Green parts of shoots were obtained from fresh material (100-500 mg fresh weight) or dried specimens (50-300mg dry weight) for DNA extraction. Samples were washed sever­ al times with distilled water, and water was removed from the sample with paper towels. Frozen samples in liquid nitrogen were ground to yield a fine powder using a mortar and pestle. This powder was suspended in extraction buffer composed of 2% cetyltrimethyl­ ammonium bromide (CTAB), 1.4 M NaCl, 50 mM Tris-HCI (pH 8.0), 10 mM EDTA. Ex­ traction solution was incubated at 65°C for 20- 30 min. The samples were kept at more than l 5°C in order to prevent re-crystallization of CTAB in the following step. An equal volume of chloroform/isoamylalcohol (24: I, CIA) was added to the digestion mixture. The sus­ pension was mixed gently for 10 min, and centrifuged

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We present molecular phylogenetic investigation of Thuidiaceae, especially on Thudium and Pelekium. Three chloroplast sequences (trnL-F, rps4, and atpB-rbcL) and one nuclear sequence (ITS) were analyzed. Data partitions were analyzed separately and in combination by employing MP (maximum parsimony) and Bayesian methods. The influence of data conflict in combined analyses was further explored by two methods: the incongruence length difference (ILD) test and the partition addition bootstrap alteration approach (PABA). Based on the results, ITS 1& 2 had crucial effect in phylogenetic reconstruction in this study, and more chloroplast sequences should be combinated into the analyses since their stability for reconstructing within genus of pleurocarpous mosses. We supported that Helodiaceae including Actinothuidium, Bryochenea, and Helodium still attributed to Thuidiaceae, and the monophyletic Thuidiaceae s. lat. should also include several genera (or species) from Leskeaceae such as Haplocladium and Leskea. In the Thuidiaceae, Thuidium and Pelekium were resolved as two monophyletic groups separately. The results from molecular phylogeny were supported by the crucial morphological characters in Thuidiaceae s. lat., Thuidium and Pelekium. Key words: Thuidiaceae, Thuidium, Pelekium, molecular phylogeny, cpDNA, ITS, PABA approach Introduction Pleurocarpous mosses consist of around 5000 species that are defined by the presence of lateral perichaetia along the gametophyte stems.

    Systematics and ecology of the moss genus Scleropodium (Brachytheciaceae) By Benjamin Elias Carter A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Brent D. Mishler, Chair Professor Bruce G. Baldwin Professor Chelsea D. Specht Spring 2012 Abstract Systematics and ecology of the moss genus Scleropodium (Brachytheciaceae) By Benjamin Elias Carter Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Brent D. Mishler, Chair Scleropodium is a genus of six species in the Brachytheciaceae. Although they are common in north temperate zones, they have not received monographic treatment in over a century. The aims of this study were to test species circumscriptions within the genus with molecular data, complete a thorough global taxonomic treatment of the genus, and to quantitatively investigate the ecological preferences of the species. A molecular phylogenetic study was conducted using 104 individuals spanning the range of morphological variation and the geographic extent of the genus. Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses and a statistical parsimony network analysis of ITS and the chloroplast rps4, bsbA2 and trnG regions were performed. Although slight differences were found among analyses, there were six clear molecular groups. Five of these corresponded directly to the species Scleropodium californicum, S. cespitans, S. julaceum, S. obtusifolium and S. touretii. The sixth species, S. occidentale, is new to science and is described here. It is similar in ecology and morphology to S. obtusifolium, but has several diagnostic features in both molecular markers and morphological characters.

Eight species of Hygrohypnum occur in the Iberian Peninsula: Hygrohypnum cochlearifolium , H. duriusculum , H. eugyrium , H. luridum , H. molle, H. ochraceum , H. smithii and H. styria- cum . Of these, H. eugyrium and H. cochlearifolium are considered to be extinct in the Iberian Peninsula. Hygrohypnum alpestre and H. polare are definitively excluded from the Iberian bryophyte flora, since its occurrence at present or in the past could not be confirmed. Only the occurrence of Hygrohypnum ochraceum has been confirmed for Portugal. Keys, descriptions, illustrations, SEM photographs and distribution maps of the species of Hygrohypnum in the Iberian Peninsula are provided.

Introduction Yakushimabryum longissimum was described from Yakushima Island, Japan by Akiyama et al. (2011). The type specimens of Y. longissimum and Gammiella touwii B.C.Tan, the latter a synonym of Gammiella tonkinensis (Broth. & Paris) B.C.Tan (Tan & Jia 1999), were compared. No morphological differences between these two species were found. To evaluate the morphological conclusions we undertook a phylogenetic analysis based on sequences of the chloroplast ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit (rbcL) gene.

  • Systematic Study of the Yakushimabryum and Related Genera in the Pylaisiadelphaceae (Bryophyta)
    ISSN 1346-7565 Acta Phytotax. Geobot. 68 (3): 145–174 (2017) doi:10.18942/apg.201706 Systematic Study of the Yakushimabryum and Related Genera in the Pylaisiadelphaceae (Bryophyta) HIROYUKI AKIYAMA Museum of Nature and Human Activities, Hyogo / Institute of Environmental Sciences, University of Hyogo, Yayoigaoka-6, Sanda, Hyogo 669-1546, Japan. *[email protected] Phylogenetic relationships among the members of the epiphytic genus Yakushimabryum H. Akiyama et al. and related genera (Pylaisiadelphaceae) were studied using cpDNA (rbcL, rps4, and trnL-F) gene se- quences as well as morphological features. Present analyses (1) suggested the presence of three clades in the Pylaisiadelphaceae and Sematophyllaceae (Pylaisiadelphaceae s. str., Sematophyllaceae s. str. + Het- erophyllioideae, and Clastobryum), and (2) confirmed the distinctive generic status of Yakushimabryum from other members of the family. One new genus Orientobryum H. Akiyama and two new species O. ovalifolium H. Akiyama and Y. brevigemmium H. Akiyama were recognized and described. In addition, a close inter-relationship of Pseudotrismegistia undulata (Broth. & Yasuda) H. Akiyama & Tsubota and Heterophyllium amblystegum (Mitt.) J. Yu et al. (= Mastopoma subfiliferum Horik. & Ando) was con- firmed. Four new combinations, O. oligonema (Cardot & P. de la Varde) H. Akiyama (≡ Clastobryum oligonema Cardot & P. de la Varde), Y. subintegrum (P. Tixier) H. Akiyama (≡ Aptychella subintegra P. Tixier), Y. tonkinense (Broth.) H. Akiyama (≡ Clastobryum tonkinense Broth. & Paris), and
