We identified Apocynaceae species by using nuclear internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) and psbA- trnH based on experimental data. The identification ability of ITS2 and psbA-trnH was assessed using specific genetic divergence, BLAST1, and neighbor-joining trees. For DNA barcoding, ITS2 and psbA-trnH regions of 122 plant samples of 31 species from 19 genera in the Apocynaceae family were amplified.

  • Barcoding the Asteraceae of Tennessee, Tribe Senecioneae
    Schilling, E.E. and A. Floden. 2014. Barcoding the Asteraceae of Tennessee, tribe Senecioneae. Phytoneuron 2014-34: 1–5. Published 14 March 2014. ISSN 2153 733X BARCODING THE ASTERACEAE OF TENNESSEE, TRIBE SENECIONEAE EDWARD E. SCHILLING AND AARON FLODEN Herbarium TENN Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology University of Tennessee Knoxville, Tennessee 37996 [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Results from barcoding studies of tribe Senecioneae for the Tennessee flora using data from the nuclear ribosomal ITS marker region are presented and include first complete reports of this marker for 3 of the 15 species of these tribes that occur in the state. Sequence data from the ITS region separated all Tennessee species of Arnoglossum , Erechtites , Hasteola , and Rugelia (all of which are native) from one another and from other, non-Tennessee congeners. In contrast, many of the species of Packera , both from the state and from other parts of the southeastern USA, had basically identical ITS sequences. The contrast in the distinctiveness of Arnoglossum species compared to those of Packera suggests the two genera have had different histories of introduction and diversification in southeastern North America. Tribe Senecioneae is one of the largest in Asteraceae and with a worldwide distribution has had the opportunity to diversify in many different regions. The boundaries and circumscription of the tribe have, however, changed over the past few decades, and its generic level circumscription is still being settled (Nordenstam et al. 2009; Pelser et al. 2007, 2010). Notable is the problem of the circumscription of the huge Senecio (ca. 1000 species), but changes have also affected other genera from the southeastern USA, most notably the recognition of Arnoglossum and Hasteola as distinct from Cacalia (Anderson 1974).

Cass. is one of the most spectacular glacial relict species and rare species of Asteraceae family and one that suffered a significant decrease in Eurasia in the second half of the past century. L. sibirica dates from the Tardiglacial – early Postglacial period. It is of a great floristic, ecological, and phytogeographical importance (Paun and Popescu, 1971), being included in Annex II and IV of the Habitats Directive and in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as DD (data deficient) (Bernhardt et al. 2011). According to the European Nature Information System species Natura 2000 data base (http://natura2000.eea.europa.eu), Ligularia sibirica is a species of community importance reported from 32 Natura 2000 Sites from Romania, including our study protected area – ROSCI0323 Ciucului Mountains. In the study area we identified a large number of well-developed populations with large number of individuals but varies depending on the type of habitat and of the variation eco-pedo-climatic conditions.

Muell. (Asteraceae: Senecioneae) Ekaterina D. Malenkova, Lyudmila V. Ozerova, Ivan A. Schanzer & Alexander C. Timonin Summary: Analyses of ITS1-2 data from a comprehensive sample of African succulent species of Senecio and related genera reveals that Senecio tropaeolifolius, though closely related to S. oxyriifolius, should be treated as a separate species. According to our results, it may be one of the parental species to S. kleiniiformis, a widely cultivated ornamental of uncertain hybrid origin. Keywords: Asteraceae, Senecioneae, taxonomy, systematics, Senecio kleiniiformis, ITS1-2 Senecio tropaeolifolius MacOwan ex F. Muell. is a widely cultivated succulent ornamental (Brickell 2003) whose taxonomic rank has remained uncertain so far. Its similarity to S. oxyriifolius DC. was mentioned in its first description (Mueller 1867) and Rowley (1994, 2002) rendered it as a subspecies of the latter one. However, Jeffrey (1986, 1992) treated these allopatric (Fig. 1) taxa, S. tropaeolifolius and S. oxyriifolius, as two separate species in the section Peltati. According to their descriptions, these two species differ mainly in their growth form, the number of involucral bracts of the capitula, the number of florets in the capitula, the presence/absence of ray florets and bristles on cypselae. All these characters are rather variable amongSenecio L. s. latiss. and their taxonomic value is questionable.
