No chloroplast (cp) genome information is currently available for Q. bawanglingensis, which would be essential for the establishment of guidelines for its conservation and breeding. In the present study, the cp genome of Q. bawanglingensis was sequenced and assembled into double-stranded circular DNA with a length of 161,394 bp. Two inverted repeats (IRs) with a total of 51,730 bp were identified, and the rest of the sequence was separated into two single-copy regions, namely, a large single-copy (LSC) region (90,628 bp) and a small single-copy (SSC) region (19,036 bp). The genome of Q. bawanglingensis contains 134 genes (86 protein-coding genes, 40 tRNAs and eight rRNAs). More forward (29) than inverted long repeats (21) are distributed in the cp genome.

Chromosomal studies have revealed that 2n = 34 in Astilboides, Darmera, Mukdenia, and Bergenia and that these genera have very similar karyotypes. Few taxa of Saxifrageae have x = 17, and chromosomal data therefore suggest that these four genera form a natural group. The generic affinities suggested by chromosomal data are not in agreement with the traditional interpretation of relationships in Saxifrageae. Astilboides has been placed in subtribe Astilbinae, while Bergenia, Darmera, and Mukdenia were considered members of Saxifraginae. The data presented here, in conjunction with data from earlier chromosomal studies, indicate that traditional subtribal boundaries do not accurately reflect relationships in tribe Saxifrageae.

    Molecular and Morphological Investigation of Astilbe by Brian W. Trader Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Horticulture APPROVED: Holly L. Scoggins, Chair _ Joyce G. Latimer Duncan M. Porter Stephen E. Scheckler Richard E. Veilleux June 19, 2006 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Phylogenetics, SNPs, Saxifragaceae, and matK Molecular and Morphological Investigation of Astilbe Brian Wayne Trader Abstract Astilbe (Saxifragaceae) is a genus of herbaceous perennials widely cultivated for their ornamental value. The genus is considered taxonomically complex because of its geographic distribution, variation within species, and the lack of adequate morphological characters to delineate taxa. To date, an inclusive investigation of the genus has not been conducted. This study was undertaken to (a) develop a well-resolved phylogeny of the genus Astilbe using an expanded morphological data set and sequences from the plastid gene matK, (b) use single nucleotide polymorphisms to determine the lineages of cultivated varieties, and (c) successfully culture Astilbe in vitro and evaluate potential somaclonal variation of resulting Astilbe microshoots. Phylogenetic trees generated from a morphological character matrix of 28 character states divided Astilbe into three distinct clades. Relationships were well resolved among the taxa, though only a few branches had greater than 50% bootstrap support. There is evidence from the phylogeny that some described species may actually represent variation within populations of species. From our analysis I propose an Astilbe genus with 13 to 15 species and offer a key for distinguishing species and varieties. There was little matK sequence variation among taxa of Astilbe.

Yongyangbo wetlands have been designated as protected areas. A field survey was conducted across five sessions between April 2019 and August of 2019. A total of 248 taxa were identified during the survey, including 72 families, 163 genera, 230 species, 4 subspecies, and 14 varieties. Their life-forms were Th (therophytes) - R5 (non-clonal form) - D4 (clitochores) - e (erect form), with a disturbance index of 33.8%. Three taxa of rare plants were detected: Silene capitata Kom. and Polygonatum stenophyllum Maxim. known to be endangered species, and Aristolochia contorta Bunge, a least-concern species. S. capitata is a legally protected species designated as a Class II endangered species in South Korea. A total of 26 taxa of naturalized plants were observed, with a naturalization index of 10.5%. There was one endemic plant taxon (Salix koriyanagi Kimura ex Goerz). In terms of floristic target species, there was one taxon in class V, one taxon in Class IV, three taxa in Class III, five taxa in Class II, and seven taxa in Class I.

  • Mukdenia, Mukdenia Rossii
    A Horticulture Information article from the Wisconsin Master Gardener website, posted 5 April 2019 Mukdenia, Mukdenia rossii Mukdenia (=Aceriphyllum) rossii is one of just two species in this genus of herbaceous perennials native to rocky slopes and ravines of eastern China and Korea that commemorates the ancient city of Mukden, the Chinese capital city of the Manchu dynasty. Hardy in zones 4 to 8 (possibly to zone 3), this distinctive looking plant with a common name of mukdenia is in the saxifrage family (Saxifragaceae) and superfi cially resembles the distantly related North American genus Heuchera. Mukdenia forms a small mound of thickly textured, glossy foliage up to a foot tall and 1 to 2 feet wide, spreading slowly over time by short creeping rhizomes. The rounded, palmate leaves up to 5 inches across are lobed and dentate. The fan-shaped leaves emerge a deep coppery-bronze in spring, becoming medium to dark green in summer with reddish color creeping inward from the edges by the end of the summer. Under ideal conditions the leaves become a rich burgundy color with reddish orange highlights on their margins by fall. The plants are deciduous, with the Mukdenia mixes with other foliage declining in late fall or early winter and new leaves emerging from perennials and a small spruce. the crown the following spring. The foliage emerges in early spring (L) to form clumps (LC) or palmate leaves (R) that turn color in late summer (R). In spring tiny white star-shaped fl owers are produced soon after leaves emerge from rosy-blushed, crowded bud spikes.
