BMC Plant Biology 2017, 17(Suppl 2):255 DOI 10.1186/s12870-017-1195-z RESEARCH Open Access Comparative analysis of inverted repeats of polypod fern (Polypodiales) plastomes reveals two hypervariable regions Maria D. Logacheva1, Anastasiya A. Krinitsina1, Maxim S. Belenikin1,2, Kamil Khafizov2,3, Evgenii A. Konorov1,4, Sergey V. Kuptsov1 and Anna S. Speranskaya1,3* From Belyaev Conference Novosibirsk, Russia. 07-10 August 2017 Abstract Background: Ferns are large and underexplored group of vascular plants (~ 11 thousands species). The genomic data available by now include low coverage nuclear genomes sequences and partial sequences of mitochondrial genomes for six species and several plastid genomes. Results: We characterized plastid genomes of three species of Dryopteris, which is one of the largest fern genera, using sequencing of chloroplast DNA enriched samples and performed comparative analysis with available plastomes of Polypodiales, the most species-rich group of ferns. We also sequenced the plastome of Adianthum hispidulum (Pteridaceae). Unexpectedly, we found high variability in the IR region, including duplication of rrn16 in D. blanfordii, complete loss of trnI-GAU in D. filix-mas, its pseudogenization due to the loss of an exon in D. blanfordii. Analysis of previously reported plastomes of Polypodiales demonstrated that Woodwardia unigemmata and Lepisorus clathratus have unusual insertions in the IR region. The sequence of these inserted regions has high similarity to several LSC fragments of ferns outside of Polypodiales and to spacer between tRNA-CGA and tRNA-TTT genes of mitochondrial genome of Asplenium nidus. We suggest that this reflects the ancient DNA transfer from mitochondrial to plastid genome occurred in a common ancestor of ferns.

  • Fern Classification
    16 Fern classification ALAN R. SMITH, KATHLEEN M. PRYER, ERIC SCHUETTPELZ, PETRA KORALL, HARALD SCHNEIDER, AND PAUL G. WOLF 16.1 Introduction and historical summary / Over the past 70 years, many fern classifications, nearly all based on morphology, most explicitly or implicitly phylogenetic, have been proposed. The most complete and commonly used classifications, some intended primar• ily as herbarium (filing) schemes, are summarized in Table 16.1, and include: Christensen (1938), Copeland (1947), Holttum (1947, 1949), Nayar (1970), Bierhorst (1971), Crabbe et al. (1975), Pichi Sermolli (1977), Ching (1978), Tryon and Tryon (1982), Kramer (in Kubitzki, 1990), Hennipman (1996), and Stevenson and Loconte (1996). Other classifications or trees implying relationships, some with a regional focus, include Bower (1926), Ching (1940), Dickason (1946), Wagner (1969), Tagawa and Iwatsuki (1972), Holttum (1973), and Mickel (1974). Tryon (1952) and Pichi Sermolli (1973) reviewed and reproduced many of these and still earlier classifica• tions, and Pichi Sermolli (1970, 1981, 1982, 1986) also summarized information on family names of ferns. Smith (1996) provided a summary and discussion of recent classifications. With the advent of cladistic methods and molecular sequencing techniques, there has been an increased interest in classifications reflecting evolutionary relationships. Phylogenetic studies robustly support a basal dichotomy within vascular plants, separating the lycophytes (less than 1 % of extant vascular plants) from the euphyllophytes (Figure 16.l; Raubeson and Jansen, 1992, Kenrick and Crane, 1997; Pryer et al., 2001a, 2004a, 2004b; Qiu et al., 2006). Living euphyl• lophytes, in turn, comprise two major clades: spermatophytes (seed plants), which are in excess of 260 000 species (Thorne, 2002; Scotland and Wortley, Biology and Evolution of Ferns and Lycopliytes, ed.

  • Wood Fern, Thelypteris Kunthii: Perennial for Full- to Part-Shade and Moist Soil
    NICE-Natives Improve and Conserve Environments Spring 2020 Plant of the Season Wood Fern, Thelypteris kunthii: Perennial for full- to part-shade and moist soil Description: Wood Fern, Thelypteris kunthii, also called Southern Shield Fern and Kunth’s Maiden Fern, is a deciduous fern that grows 1-3 feet tall and 1-3 feet wide. Very occasionally, specimens may reach 5 ft in height and diameter. In nature, Wood Fern is found in woodlands, wetlands, stream banks and near seeps in Texas and the southeastern US. T. kunthii is named in honor of Carl Sigismund Kunth, a German botanist who studied American plants in the early 1800s. Wood Fern’s fronds are light- to medium-green and will take on bronze Photos courtesy of Alan Cressler (left) and Sonnia color in the late fall and go brown as they Hill (right) die back in winter. Flowers and Seeds: Not applicable. Ferns reproduce using spores that form under their leaves. They do not flower or set seed. Planting sites: Wood Fern thrives in part shade to full shade in moist sandy, loam, clay or limestone- containing soils. It will tolerate poor drainage, as long as the soil is not compacted. Wood Fern requires moist soil and is not appropriate for soils that will completely dry out, although it can survive brief dry spells. Wood Fern flourishes in average to rich soil and will appreciate organic soil amendments. Watering Instructions: Wood Fern’s water requirements vary with the amount of sun it receives: the more sun it receives, the more water it will need.

Comprising over 2500 species, the composition and particularly the relationships among the major clades of this group have historically been contentious and defied phylogenetic resolution until very recently. Our classification reflects the most current available data, largely derived from published molecular phylogenetic studies.

Abstract The eupolypods II ferns represent a classic case of evolutionary radiation and, simultaneously, exhibit high substitution rate hetero- geneity. These factors have been proposed to contribute to the contentious resolutions among clades within this fern group in multilocus phylogenetic studies. We investigated the deep phylogenetic relationships of eupolypod II ferns by sampling all major families and using 40 plastid genomes, or plastomes, of which 33 were newly sequenced with next-generation sequencing tech- nology. We performed model-based analyses to evaluate the diversity of molecular evolutionary rates for these ferns.

    R ESEARCH ARTICLE ScienceAsia 35 (2009): 346–352 doi: 10.2306/scienceasia1513-1874.2009.35.346 Phenetic study of the genus Thelypteris in Thailand Pankamon Sornsuwan, Thaweesakdi Boonkerd∗, Tosak Seelanan Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University, Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330, Thailand ∗Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Received 5 Feb 2009 Accepted 6 Nov 2009 ABSTRACT: Thelypteris Schmidel s.l. is a genus of the Thelypteridaceae. It comprises about one thousand species, and mostly occurs in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Up to now, the genera within the Thelypteridaceae have not been clearly classified due to significantly differing taxonomic concepts of pteridologists. Some authors have placed all species in a single genus, whilst others have segregated Thelypteris s.l. into two or more genera. In Thailand, Thelypteris s.l. is commonly found in various habitats throughout. Fifty one species have been reported and were classified into two genera. In contrast, these same species would be classified into 16 genera according to Holttum’s classification. In order to clarify this taxonomic inconsistency, 518 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) from 27 species were analysed using cluster and canonical discriminant analyses. A total of 21 quantitative and 11 qualitative characters were employed. In cluster analysis using only quantitative characters, the 518 OTUs could be separated into three groups or genera, i.e., Thelypteris s.s., Macrothelypteris, and Pronephrium, at an average taxonomic distance of 1.50. The same result was obtained when both quantitative and qualitative characters were used. Canonical discriminant analysis also indicated that there were three groups within the genus Thelypteris s.l.

    THE HARDY FERN FOUNDATION P.O. Box 3797 Federal Way, WA 98063-3797 Web site: www.hardyfems.org The Hardy Fern Foundation was founded in 1989 to establish a comprehen¬ sive collection of the world’s hardy ferns for display, testing, evaluation, public education and introduction to the gardening and horticultural community. Many rare and unusual species, hybrids and varieties are being propagated from spores and tested in selected environments for their different degrees of hardiness and ornamental garden value. The primary fern display and test garden is located at, and in conjunction with, The Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden at the Weyerhaeuser Corpo¬ rate Headquarters, in Federal Way, Washington. Satellite fern gardens are at the Stephen Austin Arboretum, Nacogdoches, Texas, Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Birmingham, Alabama, California State University at Sacramento, Sacramento, California, Coastal Maine Botanical Garden, Boothbay, Maine, Dallas Arboretum, Dallas, Texas, Denver Botanic Gardens. Denver, Colorado, Georgeson Botanical Garden, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, Alaska, Harry P. Leu Garden, Orlando, Florida, Inniswood Metro Gardens, Columbus, Ohio, New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, New York, and Strybing Arboretum, San Francisco, California. The fern display gardens are at Bainbridge Island Library, Bainbridge Island, WA, Lakewold, Tacoma, Washington, Les Jardins de Metis, Quebec, Canada, Rotary Gardens, Janesville, Wl, University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, Colorado, and Whitehall Historic Home and Garden, Louisville, KY. Hardy Fern Foundation members participate in a spore exchange, receive a quarterly newsletter and have first access to ferns as they are ready for distribution.
