A total of 96 and 32 individuals were sampled in eighteen C. betulus and six C. orientalis populations, respectively. A total of four chloroplast haplotypes were observed. Two haplotypes were specific for C. betulus and two for C. orientalis . Most of C. betulus populations were fixed for the predominant haplotype (H1), which was observed in 82% of the individuals. All C. orientalis populations were fixed for one haplotype or the other. Populations with haplotype (H3) are spread in southern Romania and the haplotype (H4) was observed at the northern limit of C. orientalis natural distribution range. Genetic differentiation among populations was moderate in C. betulus (GST = 0.422), compared to the high value observed in C. orientalis (GST = 1.000), which can be explained by the occurrence of a distinct haplotype in the peripheral population. RST values for both species suggest low levels of recurrent gene flow through seeds among populations. Our data on geographic distribution of chloroplast DNA haplotypes may be useful for the identification and conservation of distinct genetic resources of the two Carpinus species.

Accepted 25 July, 2011 The genus Carpinus belonging to Coryloideae, Betulaceae, has significant economic and ornamental importance. This study was undertaken with the aim to understand the genetic diversity among eighteen isolates of Carpinus turczaninovii collected from different geographical regions of Korea, using ribosomal RNA (rRNA) internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences, to compare the infraspecific- phylogenetic relationships among C. turczaninovii in Korea, and some known Carpinus plants. The size variation of sequenced rRNA ITS regions was not seen, with 215, 162, 222 bp of ITS1 region, 5.8S rRNA gene, ITS2 region, respectively. However, some certain nucleotide variations resulted in genetic diversity. In the genus Carpinus , C. turczaninovii closely genetic with Castanopsis kawakamii , Carpinus orientalis , Carpinus monbeigiana , and Calyptranthes polynenra formed one monophyletic clade, while Carpinus betulus and Carpinus laxiflora, respectively formed one monophyletic clade.

  • Patterns in the Assembly of Temperate Forests Around the Northern Hemisphere
    Published online 7 October 2004 Patterns in the assembly of temperate forests around the Northern Hemisphere Michael J. Donoghueà and Stephen A. Smith Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520, USA Recent studies of Northern Hemisphere biogeography have highlighted potentially significant differences between disjunction patterns in plants versus animals. To assess such differences, we compiled a larger sam- ple of relevant plant phylogenies from which disjunction patterns, ancestral areas and directions of move- ment could be inferred. We considered 66 plant clades with species variously endemic today to eastern Asia (EA), Europe (including southwestern Asia), eastern North America (ENA), and/or western North America (WNA). Within these clades we focused on 100 disjunctions among these major areas, for 33 of which absol- ute divergence times have also been inferred. Our analyses uphold the view that disjunctions between EA and ENA are exceptionally common in plants, apparently more so than in animals. Compared with animals, we find few disjunctions between EA and WNA, consistent with increased extinction in WNA or failure of some groups to colonize that region. Taken at face value, our data also support the view that many temperate forest plant groups originated and diversified within EA, followed by movement out of Asia at different times, but mostly during the last 30 Myr. This favours Beringia over a North Atlantic land bridge as the primary path between the Old World and the New World. Additional studies are needed, especially to evalu- ate the impacts of differential extinction on these patterns, to more confidently establish divergence times, and to assess the statistical significance of these findings.

Relationships among all six genera in Betulaceue, where the position of Osttlyopsts has been uncertain, were investigated on the basis of matK sequence clata. The study includes sequencing of 1260 bases in all six betulaceous genera, Casuarina (Casuarinaceae) and IVbthojbgus (Nothofagaceae), and of 250 bases in ficodendron (Ticodendraceae) lacking in the GenBank data. The maximum parsimony analyses using Nothojirgus as outgroup resulted in a single shortest tree, showing that Betulaceae are monophyletic with support of 100% bootstrap value and sister to Ticodendraceae. Betulaceae comprise two well-supported clades as already suggested by earlier cladistic studies, i,e,, the Alnus-Betula clade and the Carpinus-Ostrya-Corylus-Osttyopsis clade. Within the latter clacle, Ostryopsis forms a cornmon clade with Coryltts, rather than with the Carpinus-Ostrya cLade, contrary to results of any of the earlier cladistic analyses, Molecular evidence from matK sequenee data supports the reeognition of two subfamilies Betuloideae CAInus and Betula) and Coryloideae as in most of the current systems of classification, and furthermore the recpgriition of two tribes Carpnieae (Carpinus and Ostrya) and Coryleae (Corylus and Ostryopsis) in Coryloideae.

Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden Claremont, California 91711 ABSTRACT This update of my classification of the flowering plants, or Angiospermae, is based upon about 800 pertinent books, monographs, and other botanical papers published since my last synopsis appeared in the Nordic Journal of Science in 1983. Also I have narrowed my family- and ordinal-gap concepts to bring acceptance of family and ordinal limits more in line with those of current taxonomists. This new information and the shift in my phylogenetic philosophy have caused significant changes in my interpretation of relationships and numbers and content of taxa. Also the ending "-anae" has been accepted for superorders in place in the traditional but inappropriate" -iflorae." A new phyletic "shrub" replaces earlier versions, and attempts to indicate relationships among the superorders, orders, and suborders. One table includes a statistical summary of flowering-plant taxa: ca. 235,000 species of 12,615 genera, 440 families, and 711 subfamilies and undivided families in 28 superorders, 70 orders, and 7 5 suborders of Angiospermae.

While both molecular and non-molecular data support the close relationship of Carpinus and Ostrya, the monophyly of the two genera has remained controversial. In this study, sequences of the nuclear nitrate reductase (Nia) were used to test the naturalness of the two genera. Ostrya species form a robust clade, supporting the monophyly of the genus. The clade, however, is located between Carpinus cordata and the remaining species of Carpinus, indicating that Carpinus is paraphyletic, and Ostrya has evolved from within Carpinus. Within Carpinus, section Distegocarpus is polyphyletic, whereas section Carpinus is a clade where subsections Polyneurae and Carpinus are more closely related to each other than either is to subsection Monbeigianae. Key words Carpinus, nitrate reductase (Nia), monophyly, Ostrya, paraphyly. Betulaceae are a plant family of six genera and bladder-like in Ostrya and are open and flat in about 130 species, and are small to large trees with a Carpinus (Chen et al., 1999). Sequences of the predominant distribution in Northern Hemisphere nrDNA ITS suggest that both Carpinus and Ostrya are (Chen et al., 1999).
