The current pantropical distribution of the order suggests an historical Gondwanan distribution, however the evolutionary history of the group has never been analyzed in a temporal context to test if the order is old enough to attribute its current distribution to vicariance mediated by the break-up of the supercontinent. Based on a phylogeny derived from morphological and molecular characters, we develop a hypothesis for the spatial and temporal evolution of Zingiberales using Dispersal-Vicariance Analysis (DIVA) combined with a local molecular clock technique that enables the simultaneous analysis of multiple gene loci with multiple calibration points.

The Programme has four specific objectives: . To organize and coordinate a global research effort on banana and plantain, aimed at the development, evaluation and dissemination of improved cultivars and at the conservation and use of Musa diversity . To promote and strengthen collaboration and partnerships in banana-related research activities at the national, regional and global levels . To strengthen the ability of NARS to conduct research and development activities on bananas and plantains . To coordinate, facilitate and support the production, collection and exchange of information and documentation related to banana and plantain.

Bot. Fennici 42: 461–467. Microsporogenesis and male gametogenesis of Musella (Musaceae), a monotypic genus endemic to Yunnan, China, are described for the first time. The anthers are tet- rasporangiate. The formation of the anther wall is of the basic type. The mature anther wall consists of an epidermis, an endothecium, many middle layers and a two-layered glandular tapetum with uninucleate cells. The old anther wall consists of an epidermis with annular and helical thickenings and reduced endothecium. Successive cytokinesis follows meiosis of the microspore mother cell thence forming a T-shaped or isobilat- eral tetrad of microspores. Pollen grains are 2-celled. The generative cell nucleus is clavate in shape. Some special features and relationships between anther structure and pollinator type are discussed. Key words: development, embryology, male gametogenesis, microsporogenesis, Musaceae, Musella Introduction of plants with three genera Musa, Ensete and Musella and some 45–48 species, is restricted The order Zingiberales has long been regarded to the Old World (Cronquist 1981, Andersson in the taxonomic literature as a natural mono- 1998).

    Christelová et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2011, 11:103 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/11/103 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access A multi gene sequence-based phylogeny of the Musaceae (banana) family Pavla Christelová1, Miroslav Valárik1, Eva Hřibová1, Edmond De Langhe2 and Jaroslav Doležel1* Abstract Background: The classification of the Musaceae (banana) family species and their phylogenetic inter-relationships remain controversial, in part due to limited nucleotide information to complement the morphological and physiological characters. In this work the evolutionary relationships within the Musaceae family were studied using 13 species and DNA sequences obtained from a set of 19 unlinked nuclear genes. Results: The 19 gene sequences represented a sample of ~16 kb of genome sequence (~73% intronic). The sequence data were also used to obtain estimates for the divergence times of the Musaceae genera and Musa sections. Nucleotide variation within the sample confirmed the close relationship of Australimusa and Callimusa sections and showed that Eumusa and Rhodochlamys sections are not reciprocally monophyletic, which supports the previous claims for the merger between the two latter sections. Divergence time analysis supported the previous dating of the Musaceae crown age to the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary (~ 69 Mya), and the evolution of Musa to ~50 Mya. The first estimates for the divergence times of the four Musa sections were also obtained. Conclusions: The gene sequence-based phylogeny presented here provides a substantial insight into the course of speciation within the Musaceae. An understanding of the main phylogenetic relationships between banana species will help to fine-tune the taxonomy of Musaceae. Background breeding is hampered by the absence of sexual repro- The global annual production of bananas and plantains duction and narrow genetic basis.

JOHN KRESS 1Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, 1500 North College Avenue, Claremont, California 91711-3157, USA; 2National Museum of Natural History, Department of Botany, MRC-166, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20013-7012, USA 3Corresponding author ([email protected]) ABSTRACT Marantaceae are the second largest family in the order Zingiberales, with approximately 31 genera and 535 species. Earlier studies based on morphological and molecular characters could not confidently determine the relationships among major lineages of the family, nor could they identify the basal branch of the family tree. Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence data from all three genomic com­ partments (chloroplast: matK, ndhF, rbcL, rps16 intron, and trnL-trnF intergenic spacer; mitochon­ drion: cox!; nucleus: ITS region and the 5'-end of 26S) for a restricted set of taxa were conducted under parsimony criteria to define the root node and to assess geographical distribution patterns.
