    Chromosome Botany (2017)12(2): 38-40 ©Copyright 2017 by the International Society of Chromosome Botany A karyomorphological study in Ledebouria crispa, Asparagaceae Shuichi Hamatani Hiroshima Botanical Garden, Saeki, Hiroshima 731-5156, Japan Author for correspondence: ([email protected]) Received June 10, 2017; accepted August 1, 2017 ABSTRACT: A karyomorphological study was made in Ledebouria crispa S.Venter (Asparagaceae). The chromosomes at resting stage were classified as the diffuse type, while those at mitotic prophase were classified as the continuous type. The chromosome number was 2n = 36 reported here for the first time. The 36 chromosome sets at mitotic metaphase showed gradual decrease in size from the longest to the shortest chromosomes and they showed symmetric karyotype due to arm ratio with 34m+2sm. Thus, the 18 pairs of chromosomes classified were comprised from two similar chromosomes and thus, it was concluded as a diploid. KEYWORDS: Asparagaceae, Chromosomes, Karyomorphological study, Ledebouria crispa Ledebouria Roth is a genus distributed in India, Somatic chromosomes were observed in growing root tips Madagascar, and sub-Saharan Africa, mainly southern by the aceto-orcein squash method as in Hamatani et al. Africa (Manning et al. 2002). This genus is concluded in (1998). Root tips were harvested and pretreated in 2 mM the family of Asparagaceae, and the species of the genus 8-hydroxyquinoline at 20℃ for 2 hrs. before they were show deciduous or weakly evergreen perennials and have fixed in the 3 : 1 ethanol and Acetic acid at ca 10℃ for 10 bulbs. Fifty-three accepted species were reported as this min and stored at below freezing temperature for a few genus (The Plant List 2013).

    CHARACTER VARIATION AND A CLADISTIC ANALYSIS OF THE GENUS Lachenalia Jacq:f. ex Murray (Hyacinthaceae:Massonieae) by GRAHAM D. DUNCAN Submitted in fulfilment ofthe academic requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Discipline ofBotany, School ofBotany and Zoology University ofKwaZulu-Natal Pietermaritzburg 2005 11 Lachenalia bulbifera (Cirillo) Engl. from Pierre-Joseph Redoute's Les Liliacees, Volume 1, Plate 52 (1802). 11l ABSTRACT Morphological variation and a cladistic analysis ofthe large, endemic southemAfrican genus Lachenalia Jacqj ex Murray (Hyacinthaceae: Massonieae) is presented. Its close taxonomic relationship with the small endemic sympatric genus Polyxena Kunth (which has been included in the morphological and cladistic study) is discussed. The inclusion ofPolyxena within Lachenalia is supported. One hundred and twenty species (139 taxa), comprising 115 Lachenalia and five Polyxena species are recognised. A wide range of morphological characters were analysed, including macromorphology, micromorphology, anatomy and palynology. A discussion and comparison of karyological data is also presented. A brief historical background, speCIes diversity maps, figures, tables, appendices and illustrations of anatomical, micromorphological and macromorphological characters, and cladistic data, are presented, as well as discussions ofpollination biology and phytogeography. This work is based on species studied in their natural habitats as well as under cultivation, and from representative herbarium specimens examined from BOL, NBG, PRE and SAM. IV PREFACE The experimental work described in this dissertation was carried out in the School ofBotany and Zoology, University ofKwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, and at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, Cape Town, from January 1998 to November 2004, under the supervision ofProfessor Trevor Edwards.

  • 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.
