  • Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes
    Networks in a Large-Scale Phylogenetic Analysis: Reconstructing Evolutionary History of Asparagales (Lilianae) Based on Four Plastid Genes Shichao Chen1., Dong-Kap Kim2., Mark W. Chase3, Joo-Hwan Kim4* 1 College of Life Science and Technology, Tongji University, Shanghai, China, 2 Division of Forest Resource Conservation, Korea National Arboretum, Pocheon, Gyeonggi- do, Korea, 3 Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, United Kingdom, 4 Department of Life Science, Gachon University, Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do, Korea Abstract Phylogenetic analysis aims to produce a bifurcating tree, which disregards conflicting signals and displays only those that are present in a large proportion of the data. However, any character (or tree) conflict in a dataset allows the exploration of support for various evolutionary hypotheses. Although data-display network approaches exist, biologists cannot easily and routinely use them to compute rooted phylogenetic networks on real datasets containing hundreds of taxa. Here, we constructed an original neighbour-net for a large dataset of Asparagales to highlight the aspects of the resulting network that will be important for interpreting phylogeny. The analyses were largely conducted with new data collected for the same loci as in previous studies, but from different species accessions and greater sampling in many cases than in published analyses. The network tree summarised the majority data pattern in the characters of plastid sequences before tree building, which largely confirmed the currently recognised phylogenetic relationships. Most conflicting signals are at the base of each group along the Asparagales backbone, which helps us to establish the expectancy and advance our understanding of some difficult taxa relationships and their phylogeny.

H. middendorffii was distinguished from its related taxon H. dumortieri by the trait of coriaceous long bract with green color. H. taeanensis was distinguished from its related taxon H. minor by its odorless flowers, longer perianth tube and leaf length. H. thunbergii was distinguished from its related taxon H. lilio- asphodelus by its long perianth tube. Lastly, H. hakuunensis was distinct from its related taxon H. hongdoensis as a result of its extreme branching of scape and short leaf width. From this study, it was revealed that H. minor, H. lilioasphodelus, and H. dumortieri were distributed only in the northern part of the Korean peninsular.

  • A New Family Placement for Australian Blue Squill, Chamaescilla: Xanthorrhoeaceae (Hemerocallidoideae), Not Asparagaceae
    Phytotaxa 275 (2): 097–111 ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) http://www.mapress.com/j/pt/ PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2016 Magnolia Press Article ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.275.2.2 A new family placement for Australian blue squill, Chamaescilla: Xanthorrhoeaceae (Hemerocallidoideae), not Asparagaceae TODD G.B. McLAY* & MICHAEL J. BAYLY School of BioSciences, The University of Melbourne, Vic. 3010, Australia; e-mail: [email protected] *author for correspondence Abstract Chamaescilla is an endemic Australian genus, currently placed in the Asparagaceae, alongside other Australian endemic taxa in the tribe Lomandroideae. A recent molecular phylogeny indicated a relationship with another partly Australian family, the Xanthorrhoeaceae, but was not commented on by the authors. Here we added DNA sequence data for a single Chamaescilla specimen to an alignment representing all families in the Asparagales and performed parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses. Chamaescilla was strongly resolved as belonging to Xanthorrhoeaceae, subfamily Hemerocallidoideae, along- side two non-Australian members, Simethis and Hemerocallis in the hemerocallid clade. This position is corroborated by morphological characters, including pollen grain shape. We also produced an age-calibrated phylogeny and infer that the geographic distribution of the clade is the result of long distance dispersal between the Eocene and Miocene. Key words: Asphodelaceae, biogeography, phylogeny, taxonomy Introduction Chamaescilla Mueller ex Bentham (1878: 48; commonly known as blue squill, blue stars or mudrut, Fig. 1) is a genus including four species that are endemic to Australia, found in the southwest and southeast of the country (Keighery 2001). All species are small, perennial tuberous herbs with annual leaves and flowers.

  • Phylogenetics of Ruscaceae Sensu Lato Based on Plastid Rbcl and Trnl-F DNA Sequences
    © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Stapfia 80 333-348 5.7.2002 Phylogenetics of Ruscaceae sensu lato based on plastid rbcL and trnL-F DNA sequences CG. JANG & M. PFOSSER Abstract: JANG C.G. & M. PFOSSER (2002): Phylogenetics of Ruscaceae sensu lato based on plastid rbcL and /rni-FDNA sequences. — Stapfia 80: 333-348. We studied the phylogeny and relationships among several families within Asparagales by analysis of trnL-F and rbcL sequences. As judged from rbcL, trnL-F or combined data, the order Asparagales is monophyletic with high bootstrap support. The classifica- tion into higher and lower asparagoids, which are characterized by successive mi- crosporogenesis and simultaneous microsporogenesis, respectively, is only weakly sup- ported by the trnL-F and combined data. The lower asparagoids with simultaneous mi- crosporogenesis are clearly not monophyletic. Within Asparagales, the families Con- vallariaceae, Ruscaceae, Dracaenaceae and Nolinaceae are not monophyletic. This is well supported by trnL-F data and the combined analysis and moderately supported by rbcL sequences. Especially Convallariaceae are highly polyphyletic. However, the four families formed a clearly defined clade in our analysis and thus, the concept of lumping the four families into a large family Ruscaceae s. lat. received further support. Within Ruscaceae s. lat., the genus Peliosanthes does not have a fixed position. This genus oc- cupies a position basal to the remaining taxa both in the rbcL and the combined trees, but falls into a clade together with Liriope and Ophiopogon like in traditional taxonomy in the trnL-F analysis. Both in the trnL-F and the combined trees the families Aspara- gaceae and Eriospermaceae are located next to Ruscaceae s.
