A Comparative UHPLC-Q/TOF–MS-Based Eco-Metabolomics
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A comparative UHPLC‑Q/ TOF–MS‑based eco‑metabolomics approach reveals temperature adaptation of four Nepenthes species Changi Wong1, Yee Soon Ling2, Julia Lih Suan Wee3, Aazani Mujahid4 & Moritz Müller1* Nepenthes, as the largest family of carnivorous plants, is found with an extensive geographical distribution throughout the Malay Archipelago, specifcally in Borneo, Philippines, and Sumatra. Highland species are able to tolerate cold stress and lowland species heat stress. Our current understanding on the adaptation or survival mechanisms acquired by the diferent Nepenthes species to their climatic conditions at the phytochemical level is, however, limited. In this study, we applied an eco‑metabolomics approach to identify temperature stressed individual metabolic fngerprints of four Nepenthes species: the lowlanders N. ampullaria, N. rafesiana and N. northiana, and the highlander N. minima. We hypothesized that distinct metabolite regulation patterns exist between the Nepenthes species due to their adaptation towards diferent geographical and altitudinal distribution. Our results revealed not only distinct temperature stress induced metabolite fngerprints for each Nepenthes species, but also shared metabolic response and adaptation strategies. The interspecifc responses and adaptation of N. rafesiana and N. northiana likely refected their natural habitat niches. Moreover, our study also indicates the potential of lowlanders, especially N. ampullaria and N. rafesiana, to produce metabolites needed to deal with increased temperatures, ofering hope for the plant genus and future adaption in times of changing climate. Nepenthes (N.), the sole genus under the family Nepenthaceae, is one of the largest families of carnivorous plants, with an extensive geographical distribution across the Malay Archipelago, specifcally in Borneo, Philippines, and Sumatra. -
Nepenthes Pitopangii (Nepenthaceae), a New Species from Central Sulawesi, Indonesia

Box 117, Corrimal, New South Wales 2518, Australia. 4 Botany Division, Research Center for Biology, Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Cibinong Science Center, West Java, Indonesia. Abstract A new Nepenthes species, N. pitopangii, from Sulawesi Tengah, is described. Introduction Cheek and Jebb (2001) recognised eight species of Nepenthaceae for Sulawesi, of which four species are endemic. These numbers are comparatively low compared to the neighboring island of Borneo, where there are more than 30 species, of which 70% are endemic. The lack of species richness in Nepenthaceae in Sulawesi is yet to be examined in detail, but may be due to a combination of biogeographical and ecological factors, or simply a lack of detailed botanical exploration of the island. In 2006, photos by Jonathan Newman of an unidentified taxon of Nepenthes from Central Sulawesi, which were not readily assignable to any presently known species, first appeared on the internet (http://www. cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17326&hl=). Field visits to the site in 2007 (S. McPherson and G. Bourke) and in 2008 (C. Lee and S. McPherson), and examination of herbarium materials at Universitas Tadulako, Palu (CEB) indicated that this plant represents a new species of Nepenthes, which we describe below. The description that follows combines measurements taken from the herbarium specimens at Universitas Tadulako (which are sterile), with measurements of the inflorescence made from living material in the field. -
Nepenthes Maximoides (Nepenthaceae) a New, Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct) Species in Sect

Nepenthes maximoides (Nepenthaceae) a new, Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct) species in Sect. Alatae from Luzon, Philippines showing striking pitcher convergence with N. maxima (Sect. Regiae) of Indonesia. Charles King¹, Martin Cheek¹ ¹Science, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey, U.K. Email address: [email protected] ABSTRACT Nepenthes maximoides sp. nov. (Sect. Alatae) is described and assessed as Critically Endangered (Possibly Extinct) from Luzon, Philippines and appears unrecorded in 110 years. The spectacular, large, narrowly funnel-shaped upper pitchers, lids with recurved basal, and filiform apical appendages, unlike any other species in the Philippines, closely resemble those of N. maxima (Sect. Regiae) of Sulawesi-New Guinea, likely due to convergent evolution. Following recent phylogenomic analysis, sect. Alatae is divided into two, Sect. Alatae sensu stricto of Luzon to Sibuyan (including N. maximoides), and Sect. Micramphorae, expanded and recircumscribed to encompass those species of the southern Visayas, and Mindanao. A key is provided to the six species now recognised in the narrowly recircumscribed Sect. Alatae. The number of Nepenthes species recorded from Luzon has increased from two in 2001, to eight in 2020, all but one of which are endemic to that island, and four of which appear to be point endemics.

It is a distinctive component of a relatively low-elevation, highly biodiverse montane elfin forest that has evolved in association with a particularly thin and extremely hostile substrate. Plant habit, and leaf, inflorescence, indumentum and peristome-column morphology appear superficially similar to those of the ultramaficolous montane species of Palawan, implicating an environmental basis for a syndrome of shared characteristics.

Domingo, Lumintao, Quezon, Bukidnon, Philippines Nepenthes L. is the sole genus of the family Nepenthaceae. Having the highest rate of endemism of this family, the Philippines is considered a center of diversity of the genus Nepenthes along with Sumatra and Borneo. Recent explorations in Mindanao and Luzon raised the number of Philippine Nepenthes species to 50. This study reports the discovery of two new Nepenthes species, N. malimumuensis and N. manobo in the unexplored region of the Pantaron range of central Mindanao making the range a home to eight species. Habitat destruction has the biggest impact on the population of Nepenthes spp. in the Pantaron range. The Pantaron range is not a protected area therefore the diversity, distribution, conservation and habitat preservation of the new endemic Nepenthes species reported herein need to be monitored closely. -

The current study aimed to identify and classify the observed Pitcher plant species vegetation in the steep sloping areas along the watershed river and swampy areas in Bucas Grande Island as well as to determine the conservation status of the said species. The obtained field data about the external morphological description of the pitcher plants species, descriptively matched to the known carnivorous pitcher plant species-Nepenthes mirabilis and Nepenthes merrilliana that are endemic carnivorous pitcher plant species in the country. The study concluded that there are two species of pitcher plant in Bucas Grande Island, Socorro which are Nepenthes mirabilis and Nepenthes merrilliana. N. merrilliana, however, is currently categorized as a vulnerable species which needs a careful monitoring for an appropriate conservation measures. *Corresponding Author: Rex Bomvet Deleon Saura [email protected] 144 | Sanico et al. -
An Account of the Nepenthes Species of Vietnam
Technical Refereed Contribution An account of the Nepenthes species of Vietnam RICHARD NUNN • Hyde Park • Australia • [email protected] CHIEM NGUYEN ANH VU • Ho Chi Minh City • Vietnam • [email protected] Introduction It is the goal of this paper to provide an account of the Nepenthes taxa found in Vietnam and in particular to document the occurrence of Nepenthes kampotiana and update the conservation status of Nepenthes thorelii. In October 2015, the authors conducted a field trip to Vietnam to establish without doubt the number of taxa found in Vietnam. This paper will give an account of that field trip and also discuss the botanical history, ecology, taxonomy, and conservation status of Nepenthes in Vietnam. In reviewing the current literature, it is apparent that there exists some confusion concerning the legitimacy and taxonomy of the Nepenthes of Indochina, and it is hoped this paper will help clear some of this confusion, at least for the taxa found in Vietnam. For the purposes of this paper, the Nepenthes taxa found in Vietnam will be recognized as dis- tinct in keeping with the taxonomy of Mey (2009) and McPherson (2009). This decision is sup- ported by the recognizable morphology of each taxa in the field. It must be noted that there has yet to be a molecular-based study to support these conclusions. Information about distribution, habitats, and morphological data, is based on examination of digitized images of herbarium specimens, observations of plants in situ and in cultivation, as well as extracted from literature (i.e., all sources listed under “References”). Field work was conducted in Vietnam and in accordance with permits issued to visit Lo Go-Xa Mat National Park in Tay Ninh Province and Phuoc Buu National Park in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province.
