  • Genetic Differentiation and Polyploid Formation Within the Cryptogramma Crispa Complex (Polypodiales: Pteridaceae)
    Turkish Journal of Botany Turk J Bot (2016) 40: 231-240 http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/botany/ © TÜBİTAK Research Article doi:10.3906/bot-1501-54 Genetic differentiation and polyploid formation within the Cryptogramma crispa complex (Polypodiales: Pteridaceae) Jordan METZGAR*, Mackenzie STAMEY, Stefanie ICKERT-BOND Herbarium (ALA), University of Alaska Museum of the North and Department of Biology and Wildlife, University of Alaska Fairbanks, Fairbanks, AK, USA Received: 28.01.2015 Accepted/Published Online: 14.07.2015 Final Version: 08.04.2016 Abstract: The tetraploid fern Cryptogramma crispa (L.) R.Br. ex Hook. is distributed across alpine and high latitude regions of Europe and western Asia and is sympatric with the recently described octoploid C. bithynica S.Jess., L.Lehm. & Bujnoch in north-central Turkey. Our analysis of a 6-region plastid DNA sequence dataset comprising 39 accessions of Cryptogramma R.Br., including 14 accessions of C. crispa and one accession of C. bithynica, revealed a deep genetic division between the accessions of C. crispa from western, northern, and central Europe and the accessions of C. crispa and C. bithynica from Turkey and the Caucasus Mountains. This legacy likely results from Pleistocene climate fluctuations and appears to represent incipient speciation between the eastern and western clades. These plastid DNA sequence data also demonstrate that the western clade of C. crispa, specifically the western Asian clade, is the maternal progenitor of C. bithynica. Our analysis of DNA sequence data from the biparentally inherited nuclear locus gapCp supports an autopolyploid origin of C. bithynica, with C. crispa as the sole progenitor. Key words: Cryptogramma, ferns, autopolyploidy, phylogeography, glacial refugium 1.

  • Species Relationships and Farina Evolution in the Cheilanthoid Fern

Sigel , 1 , 3 Michael D. Windham , 1 Layne Huiet , 1 George Yatskievych , 2 and Kathleen M. Pryer 1 1 Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708 U. S. A. 2 Missouri Botanical Garden, P.O. Box 299, St. Louis, Missouri 63166 U. S. A. 3 Author for correspondence ( [email protected] ) Communicating Editor: Lynn Bohs Abstract— Convergent evolution driven by adaptation to arid habitats has made it difficult to identify monophyletic taxa in the cheilanthoid ferns. Dependence on distinctive, but potentially homoplastic characters, to define major clades has resulted in a taxonomic conundrum: all of the largest cheilanthoid genera have been shown to be polyphyletic. Here we reconstruct the first comprehensive phylogeny of the strictly New World cheilanthoid genus Argyrochosma . We use our reconstruction to examine the evolution of farina (powdery leaf deposits), which has played a prominent role in the circumscription of cheilanthoid genera. Our data indicate that Argyrochosma comprises two major monophyletic groups: one exclusively non-farinose and the other primarily farinose. Within the latter group, there has been at least one evolutionary reversal (loss) of farina and the development of major chemical variants that characterize specific clades. Our phylogenetic hypothesis, in combination with spore data and chromosome counts, also provides a critical context for addressing the prevalence of polyploidy and apomixis within the genus. Evidence from these datasets provides testable hypotheses regarding reticulate evolution and suggests the presence of several previ- ously undetected taxa of Argyrochosma.

  • Morphological and Anatomical Adaptations to Dry, Shady Environments in Adiantum Reniforme Var
    Morphological and anatomical adaptations to dry, shady environments in Adiantum reniforme var. sinense (Pteridaceae) Di Wu1, Linbao Li1, Xiaobo Ma1, Guiyun Huang1 and Chaodong Yang2 1 Rare Plants Research Institute of Yangtze River, Three Gorges Corporation, Yichang, China 2 Engineering Research Center of Ecology and Agriculture Use of Wetland, Ministry of Education, Yangtze University, Jingzhou, China ABSTRACT The natural distribution of the rare perennial fern Adiantum reniforme var. sinense (Pteridaceae), which is endemic to shady cliff environments, is limited to small areas of Wanzhou County, Chongqing, China. In this study, we used brightfield and epifluorescence microscopy to investigate the anatomical structures and histochemical features that may allow this species to thrive in shady, dry cliff environments. The A. reniforme var. sinense sporophyte had a primary structure and a dictyostele. The plants of this species had an endodermis, sclerenchyma layers and hypodermal sterome, reflecting an adaption to dry cliff environments. Blades had a thin cuticle and isolateral mesophyll, suggesting a tolerance of shady environments. These characteristics are similar to many sciophyte ferns such as Lygodium japonicum and Pteris multifida. Thus, the morphological and anatomical characteristics of A. reniforme var. sinense identified in this study are consistent with adaptations to shady, dry cliff environments.

Data on the morphology of indusia, spore size and exine ornamentation are studied in order to assess their systematic significance. A key to species based on indusial characters is also incorporated. Key words: Adiantum, North East India, Morphology, Indusia, Exine ornamentation INTRODUCTION The Maiden-hair ferns, Adiantum L. (Pteridaceae: Vittarioideae) are well known and popular as ornamentals for their beauty with graceful and attractive evergreen fronds. The genus is represented by 200 species distributed in tropical and sub-tropical to temperate regions (Prado et al. 2007). They usually grow in moisture rich areas with low intensity of sunlight. Sometimes, they are seen growing as base epiphyte on moss-humus laden trees like Ficus benghalensis L., Mimusops elengi L., Phoenix sylvestris (L.) Roxb., Kigelia pinnata (Jacq.) DC.

    Pteris cretica COMMON NAME Cretan brake FAMILY Pteridaceae AUTHORITY Pteris cretica L. FLORA CATEGORY Vascular – Exotic STRUCTURAL CLASS Ferns DISTRIBUTION Naturalised.

Photographer: John Smith- Dodsworth HABITAT Coastal to montane (mostly coastal to lowland). A common weedy fern in many urban parts of New Zealand but also common in less modified areas growing in dense forest, along river, stream and gully banks, on track and roadside cuttings.
