The traditional land-tenure system is based on a customary oral tradition. However, the government’s persistent denial of land rights has fueled the indigenous conflicts in the last few decades. Deliverance of scientific evidence-based arguments may underpin the ongoing conflict-resolution dialogues between the authorities and the indigenous communities. Dating growth rings of trees in a slash-and-burn system might help the indigenous people to find evidence of their historic land uses in the mountainous landscape. In this pilot study, we examined the potential of Diploknema butyracea (Roxb.) H. J. Lam growth rings for documenting land use history of Nepalese indigenous farming practices, as this species is being preserved during the slash-and-burn practices. The species is an economically important and ecologically interesting (as it flushes leaves when everything is dry, and sheds leaves while everything is green) deciduous tree species belonging to Sapotaceae family and widely distributed in Sub-Himalayan tracts.

Cheura is one of the eco- nomically important but lesser known and underutilized multipurpose tree of Himalaya. It has a great spiritual and cultural importance along with livelihood association along the Himalayan communities especially the Van-Rajis, which are among the most ancient primitive vulnerable tribes (PVTs) of In- dia with a population of around 700 in Uttarakhand.

  • Accounting for Variation of Substitution Rates Through Time in Bayesian Phylogeny Reconstruction of Sapotoideae (Sapotaceae)
    Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 39 (2006) 706–721 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Accounting for variation of substitution rates through time in Bayesian phylogeny reconstruction of Sapotoideae (Sapotaceae) Jenny E.E. Smedmark ¤, Ulf Swenson, Arne A. Anderberg Department of Phanerogamic Botany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, P.O. Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden Received 9 September 2005; revised 4 January 2006; accepted 12 January 2006 Available online 21 February 2006 Abstract We used Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of 5 kb of chloroplast DNA data from 68 Sapotaceae species to clarify phylogenetic relation- ships within Sapotoideae, one of the two major clades within Sapotaceae. Variation in substitution rates through time was shown to be a very important aspect of molecular evolution for this data set. Relative rates tests indicated that changes in overall rate have taken place in several lineages during the history of the group and Bayes factors strongly supported a covarion model, which allows the rate of a site to vary over time, over commonly used models that only allow rates to vary across sites. Rate variation over time was actually found to be a more important model component than rate variation across sites. The covarion model was originally developed for coding gene sequences and has so far only been tested for this type of data. The fact that it performed so well with the present data set, consisting mainly of data from noncoding spacer regions, suggests that it deserves a wider consideration in model based phylogenetic inference. Repeatability of phylogenetic results was very diYcult to obtain with the more parameter rich models, and analyses with identical settings often supported diVerent topologies.

For most groups however, methodological protocols are still missing. Here Gene capture we identified531 monocopy genes and 227 Short Tandem Repeats (STR) markers and tested them on Sapotaceae STR using target capture and NGS. The probes were designed using two genome skimming samples from Capur­ Phylogenetics odendron delphinense and Bemangidia lowryi, both from the Tseboneae tribe, as well as the published Manilkara Population genetics Species tree zapota transcriptome from the Sapotoideae tribe. We combined our probes with 261 additional ones previously Tropical trees published and designed for the entire angiosperm group. On a total of 792 low-copy genes, 638 showed no signs of paralogy and were used to build a phylogeny of the family with 231 individuals from all main lineages.

New Forest-248006, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India Received 27 May 2014; Accepted 22 September 2015 Diploknema butyracea (Roxb.) H.J. Lam. (Family Sapotaceae) commonly known as Indian butter tree or Cheura, is native to Nepal and distributed from Garhwal Himalaya to Sikkim and up to Bhutan. Its seeds are the richest source of edible oil known as Phulwara butter which is being used by local communities for cooking purposes. The objective of the study was to examine the phytochemical constituents and development of fingerprinting profile with the aid of HPTLC technique. The qualitative and quantitative distribution of the active principles was assessed and a HPTLC method was developed for the separation of active constituents in seed extracts. Preliminary phytochemical screening of secondary metabolites was carried out by following standard methods and found to contain lipids, saponins, tannins, alkaloids, phenols, steroids and flavonoids. The study will prove useful to compare bioactive principle present in the seeds. Keywords: Diploknema butyracea (Roxb.) H.J. Lam., HPTLC, Phulwara butter, Phytochemical constituents, Sapotaceae.
