Major Clades Within Apiaceae Subfamily Apioideae As Inferred by Phylogenetic Analysis of Nrdna ITS Sequences
Plant Div. Evol. Vol. 128/1–2, 111–136 E Stuttgart, August 20, 2010 Major clades within Apiaceae subfamily Apioideae as inferred by phylogenetic analysis of nrDNA ITS sequences By Stephen R. Downie, Krzysztof Spalik, Deborah S. Katz-Downie and Jean-Pierre Reduron With 1 figure and 2 tables Abstract Downie, S.R., Spalik, K., Katz-Downie, D.S. & Reduron, J.-P.: Major clades within Apiaceae subfam- ily Apioideae as inferred by phylogenetic analysis of nrDNA ITS sequences. — Plant Div. Evol. 128: 111–136. 2010. — ISSN 1869-6155. The results of phylogenetic analyses of 1240 nrDNA ITS sequences of Apiaceae subfamily Apioideae, representing 292 genera and 959 species from all major clades of the subfamily except those most basally branching, were compared to a preexisting phylogenetic classification for the group based on several molecular markers and a smaller sampling of taxa. This was done to confirm previously defined tribal and generic limits and to identify additional major clades and genera whose monophyly and relationships can be tested in future studies. All species for which ITS data are available in Gen- Bank plus newly obtained sequences for 53 additional taxa were considered for inclusion in this study and their simultaneous analysis permitted misidentifications and other problematic sequences to be revealed. Analyses of these ITS data, in conjunction with results of recently published molecular stud- ies, identified 41 major clades in Apioideae, of which 21 have already been recognized at the tribal or subtribal rank. No major changes to the preexisting phylogenetic classification of Apioideae are pro- posed, other than the recognition of additional major clades and the expansion of others to accom- modate increased sampling.

Flora of China 14: 182–192. 2005. 91. PEUCEDANUM Linnaeus, Sp. Pl. 1: 245. 1753. 前胡属 qian hu shu She Menglan (佘孟兰 Sheh Meng-lan); Mark F. Watson Kitagawia Pimenov. Herbs perennial. Rootstock short, crown usually bearing remnant leaf sheaths. Stem finely striate, dichotomously branched above. Leaves petiolate; petioles sheathing. Umbels loosely compound, terminal and lateral; bracts numerous or absent; rays nu- merous or few; bracteoles numerous, rarely few or absent. Calyx teeth short or obsolete. Petals usually white, occasionally pinkish or purplish, rarely pale yellow, orbicular to obovate, with a narrow inflexed apex. Stylopodium low-conic. Fruit ellipsoid, oblong to suborbicular, dorsally compressed; dorsal ribs filiform, slightly prominent, lateral ribs thickened and narrowly winged, wings closely appressed to one another; vittae 1 to several in each furrow, 2 to several on commissure. Seed face plane or slightly concave. Carpo- phore bipartite. Between 100 and 200 species: Africa, Asia, Europe; 40 species (33 endemic) in China. The taxonomy of this widespread, heterogeneous genus has long been problematic. The broad circumscription of Peucedanum adopted here in- cludes some 100–120 species from many parts of the Old World that are weakly united by basic (especially external) fruit structure. These fruit char- acters are undoubtedly the result of several lines of convergent evolution, and some authors prefer to recognize several segregate genera and reduce Peucedanum to only 8–10 Eurasian species based around the nomenclatural type, P. officinale Linnaeus. As the taxonomy of this genus is still unre- solved (it is currently the focus of an international, multi-disciplinary study), a traditional treatment is adopted for the following account.

Komarov Botanical Institute, Russian Academy of Science, St. Petersburg 197376, Russia *Author for correspondence; E-mail: [email protected] Abstact A new species of Xyloselinum, X. laoticum, endemic to the Vientiane province of Laos, is described and illustrated. Similar to two previously described species of Xyloselinum from limestone ridges of Northern Vietnam, the new species is subshrub with 2–3 pinnatisect leaves having petiolulate basal segments and broadly lanceolate terminal segments, solitary or binary mericarp vallecular vittae, almost flat on the commissural side endosperm. The new species is more closer to X. vietnamense than to X. leonidii. Xyloselinum laoticum differs from X. vietnamense in irregularly toothed or laciniate terminal leaf seg- ments without bladders on lower surface, solid (not fistulose) petioles, globose umbels and umbellets, almost glabrous (not densely covered by scattered short prickles) pedicels, always entire bracteoles, and conical (not shortly conical) stylopods. It is supported by the nrDNA ITS data that Xyloselinum is treated as an independent genus and placed in Selineae Clade together with some S and E Asian genera separated from Peucedanum s.l.

Schischk., a perennial herb belonging to the family Umbelliferae, is widely distributed in Northeast Asia. Its dried root (Radix Saposhnikoviae) is used as a Chinese herbal medicine for the treatment of immune system, nervous system, and respiratory diseases. Phytochemical and pharmacological studies have shown that the main constituents of S. divaricata are chromones, coumarins, acid esters, and polyacetylenes, and these compounds exhibited significant anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, antiproliferative, antitumor, and immunoregulatory activities. The purpose of this review is to provide comprehensive information on the botanical characterization and distribution, traditional use and ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, and pharmacology of S. divaricata for further study concerning its mechanism of action and development of better therapeutic agents and health products from S. divaricata.

Growth and development of colon cancer cells may be affected by juice and extracts from Saposhnikovia divaricata root. The objective of the research was to analyze the effect of S. divaricata juice and extracts on the viability, membrane integrity and types of cell death of Caco-2 cells. Juice and extracts were analyzed using Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) and in respect of the presence of antioxidants, total carbohydrates, protein, fat and polyphenols. The contents of cimifugin β-D-glucopyranoside, cimifugin, 40-O-glucopyranosyl-5-O-methylvisamminol, imperatorin and protein were the highest in juice.

A Molecular Phylogeny of Chinese Apiaceae Subfamily Apioideae Inferred from Nuclear Ribosomal DNA Internal Transcribed Spacer Sequences
Zhou & al. • Phylogeny of Chinese Apioideae TAXON 57 (2) • May 2008: 402–416 A molecular phylogeny of Chinese Apiaceae subfamily Apioideae inferred from nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer sequences Jing Zhou1,2, Hua Peng1, Stephen R. Downie3, Zhen-Wen Liu1,2 & Xun Gong1,* 1 Key Laboratory of Biodiversity and Biogeography, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunming 650204, China. *[email protected] (author for correspondence) 2 Graduate School of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China 3 Department of Plant Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Illinois 61801, U.S.A. The Hengduan Mountains of the Sino-Himalayas are rich in endemic species of Apiaceae subfamily Apioideae. To investigate relationships among these species and to ascertain their higher-level phylogenetic placements within the subfamily, we examined 106 accessions (representing 100 species from 52 genera) including the Chinese endemic genera Changium, Cyclorhiza, Notopterygium, Nothosmyrnium, and Sinolimprichtia. Sixty- three of these accessions were newly sequenced. Phylogenetic trees were inferred using maximum parsimony and Bayesian analyses of nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. The phyloge- netic trees were highly consistent and revealed several major clades heretofore unrecognized in the subfamily. Changium and Cyclorhiza fall within the Komarovia clade of previous investigations and Nothosmyrnium allies with tribe Pimpinelleae. Notopterygium and Sinolimprichtia along with many other taxa of Sino-Himalayan distribution comprise a well-supported East Asia clade; Vicatia and Haplosphaera arise within a paraphyletic Notopterygium. Other newly recognized, well-supported major clades include the Chamaesium clade, sister group to all other examined Apioideae except tribe Bupleureae, and the Asian Acronema clade, sister group to tribe Scandiceae.
