  • Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes
    Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes Shichao Chen1., Dong-Kap Kim2., Mark W. Chase3, Joo-Hwan Kim4* 1 College of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, Shanghai, China, 2 Division of Forest Resource Conservation, Korea National Arboretum, Pocheon, Gyeonggi- do, Korea, 3 Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, United Kingdom, 4 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Abstract Phylogenetic analysis aims to produce a bifurcating tree, which disregards conflicting signals and displays only those that are present in a large proportion of the data. However, any character (or tree) conflict in a dataset allows the exploration of support for various evolutionary hypotheses. Although data-display network approaches exist, biologists cannot easily and routinely use them to compute rooted phylogenetic networks on real datasets containing hundreds of taxa. Here, we constructed an original neighbour-net for a large dataset of Asparagales to highlight the aspects of the resulting network that will be important for interpreting phylogeny. The analyses were largely conducted with new data collected for the same loci as in previous studies, but from different species accessions and greater sampling in many cases than in published analyses. The network tree summarised the majority data pattern in the characters of plastid sequences before tree building, which largely confirmed the currently recognised phylogenetic relationships. Most conflicting signals are at the base of each group along the Asparagales backbone, which helps us to establish the expectancy and advance our understanding of some difficult taxa relationships and their phylogeny.

  • 1 Cactus & Succulent Society of San Jose Annual Show Show Rules And
    Cactus & Succulent Society of San Jose Annual Show Show Rules and Categories THE PURPOSES OF THE SHOW ARE 1. To introduce our hobby to the general public by showing as many outstanding plants as possible. 2. To give our members a forum in which to show their plants. 3. To compete in an informal and friendly atmosphere. EXHIBITOR CLASSIFICATIONS This is a local show and as such is limited to those members and exhibitors residing within a two hundred mile radius of San Jose. NOVICE: If you are under 18, have not won a total of 50 first place ribbons in previous CSSA affiliated shows, or have been competing for less than 5 years in CSSA-affiliated shows, you may exhibit in this class. ADVANCED: You must exhibit in this class if you no longer qualify for the above class. OPEN: If you possess or have possessed a nurseryman's license, or earn a substantial income from the sale of plants, you must exhibit in this class. These classes are lower limits - anyone may move up. If you feel you have been unfairly advanced you may appeal to the Board of Directors for classification in a lower category. Family members, except children under 18, must show in the same class. Classes apply to Divisions I to IV only. Divisions V and VI will be judged in a single open class. SHOW RULES 1. You must own the plants you exhibit for at least six months, except displays. 2. Vendors who sell at the show must exhibit at least 10 plants in the show.

  • Alooideae—Asphodelaceae and the Genera Thereof by M Bruce Bayer
    Alooideae—Asphodelaceae And The Genera Thereof by M Bruce Bayer Reprinted from Alsterworthia International Special Issue No 4 My fascination with Haworthia has presented me with many problems in the way the genera in the Alooideae have been discussed, appraised and modified in and subsequent to G. D. Rowley's analysis (1967). Parr (1971) coalesced Astroloba, Haworthia and Poellnitzia and I refuted this in 1972 when I also wrote a rebuttal of Rowley's paper. My remarks did not deter Mrs Obermeyer- Mauve (1973) following and accepting Parr, nor in adding Chortolirion to Haworthia. Rowley (1976) quite pragmatically discussed the Aloid genera, but in 1980 suggested the incorporation of Poellnitzia in Aloe. He implemented this proposal in 1981 and promoted it again in 1985. Smith and van Wyk (1991) published a cladistic analysis of the Alooideae which I felt was unacceptable because of the fallacious character states and sets that were used there. Despite that paper and at least four others (Smith 1991, 1994, 1995; Smith & van Wyk 1992) generally supporting the unispecific status of Poellnitzia, Manning and Smith (2000) incorporated the genus in Astroloba. My objection to this manipulation of the genera is that the supporting arguments have been incorrect and that it essentially has not addressed or considered what I perceived to be the stumbling block to arriving at a better delimitation of the genera in the sub-family. This is the relationship within the genus Haworthia where it is quite evident to me that it comprises three distinct sets of species (the subgenera of Bayer ex Uitewaal).
