ABSTRACT Recent studies have demonstrated that conflict is common among gene trees in phylogenomic studies, and that less than one percent of genes may ultimately drive species tree inference in supermatrix analyses. Here, we examined two datasets where supermatrix and coalescent-based species trees conflict. We identified two highly influential “outlier” genes in each dataset. When removed from each dataset, the inferred supermatrix trees matched the topologies obtained from coalescent analyses. We also demonstrate that, while the outlier genes in the vertebrate dataset have been shown in a previous study to be the result of errors in orthology detection, the outlier genes from a plant dataset did not exhibit any obvious systematic error and therefore may be the result of some biological process yet to be determined.

  • Carnivorous Plant Newsletter V47 N2 June 2018
    New Cultivars Keywords: Pinguicula ‘Riva’, Drosera binata ‘Ghost’, Nepenthes ampullaria ‘Black Widow’, Nepenthes ampullaria ‘Caramel Candy Stripe’, Nepenthes ampullaria ‘Lime Delight’, Nepenthes ampullaria ‘Chocolate Delight’, Nepenthes ampullaria ‘Cherry Delight’, Nepenthes ampullaria ‘Bronze Delight’. Pinguicula ‘Riva’ Submitted: 22 February 2018 The parents of Pinguicula ‘Riva’ (Fig. 1) are P. agnata (with scented flowers) × P. gigantea (to the best of my knowledge; the second parent may have been a P. gigantea × P. emarginata). This cross was done and the resulting seed germinated in late 2013 by me in San Francisco, California. This particular plant made its specialness apparent after about 2 years of growth under lights when it began flowering. The flower is approximately 2 cm wide by 2.5 cm long and is white with a bright yellow center which is surrounded by a flaring purple ring. The petals are 1 cm long, 7-9 mm wide, slightly ruffled, and the top 2 petals have irregular slightly serrated upper margins. The spur is 12 mm long, green and straight. The flower stalk is 18-20 cm long. And, the flower is scented, quite heavily in warmer conditions. The flower does not produce pollen or seed so it is sterile. The leaves of the plant are nice as well, ranging from 4-5.5 cm long and about 3 cm wide. The leaf shape is oblong egg-shaped with the rounded end distal from the central growth point. The color of the leaves ranges from pale green with burgundy tinting and margins to muted burgundy with green undertones. The margins of the leaf are slightly upturned.

  • Carnivorous Plant Responses to Resource Availability
    Carnivorous plant responses to resource availability: environmental interactions, morphology and biochemistry Christopher R. Hatcher A doctoral thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University November 2019 © by Christopher R. Hatcher (2019) Abstract Understanding how organisms respond to resources available in the environment is a fundamental goal of ecology. Resource availability controls ecological processes at all levels of organisation, from molecular characteristics of individuals to community and biosphere. Climate change and other anthropogenically driven factors are altering environmental resource availability, and likely affects ecology at all levels of organisation. It is critical, therefore, to understand the ecological impact of environmental variation at a range of spatial and temporal scales. Consequently, I bring physiological, ecological, biochemical and evolutionary research together to determine how plants respond to resource availability. In this thesis I have measured the effects of resource availability on phenotypic plasticity, intraspecific trait variation and metabolic responses of carnivorous sundew plants. Carnivorous plants are interesting model systems for a range of evolutionary and ecological questions because of their specific adaptations to attaining nutrients. They can, therefore, provide interesting perspectives on existing questions, in this case trait-environment interactions, plant strategies and plant responses to predicted future environmental scenarios. In a manipulative experiment, I measured the phenotypic plasticity of naturally shaded Drosera rotundifolia in response to disturbance mediated changes in light availability over successive growing seasons. Following selective disturbance, D. rotundifolia became more carnivorous by increasing the number of trichomes and trichome density. These plants derived more N from prey and flowered earlier.

Albert8*, Shuaicheng Li4, 5* and Mitsuyasu Hasebe1, 2* Carnivorous plants exploit animals as a nutritional source and have inspired long-standing questions about the origin and evolution of carnivory-related traits. To investigate the molecular bases of carnivory, we sequenced the genome of the heterophyllous pitcher plant Cephalotus follicularis, in which we succeeded in regulating the developmental switch between carnivorous and non-carnivorous leaves. Transcriptome comparison of the two leaf types and gene repertoire analysis identi- fied genetic changes associated with prey attraction, capture, digestion and nutrient absorption. Analysis of digestive fluid pro- teins from C. follicularis and three other carnivorous plants with independent carnivorous origins revealed repeated co-options of stress-responsive protein lineages coupled with convergent amino acid substitutions to acquire digestive physiology. These results imply constraints on the available routes to evolve plant carnivory. arnivorous plants bear extensively modified leaves capable corresponding to 76% of the estimated genome size (Supplementary of attracting, trapping and digesting small animals, and Fig.

Introduction It has long been known that the genus Drosera, together with the family (Droseraceae) and the order containing it, Nepenthales (¼ “non-core Caryophyllales” sensu APG III, 2009), are characterized by the frequent presence of acetogenic naphthoquinones (Hegnauer, 1969, 1990; Schlauer, 1997). This is in contrast to Caryophyllales (“core Caryophyllales”), in which Nepenthales are frequently included (APG III, 2009; Chase and Reveal, 2009), but that are devoid of these metabolites and that frequently contain betalains instead.
