    Two Cryptic Species of Lotus (Fabaceae) from the Iberian Peninsula 21-45 Wulfenia 27 (2020): 21– 45 Mitteilungen Des Kärntner Botanikzentrums Klagenfurt

    ZOBODAT - www.zobodat.at Zoologisch-Botanische Datenbank/Zoological-Botanical Database Digitale Literatur/Digital Literature Zeitschrift/Journal: Wulfenia Jahr/Year: 2020 Band/Volume: 27 Autor(en)/Author(s): Kramina Tatiana E., Samigullin Tahir H., Meschersky Ilya G. Artikel/Article: Two cryptic species of Lotus (Fabaceae) from the Iberian Peninsula 21-45 Wulfenia 27 (2020): 21– 45 Mitteilungen des Kärntner Botanikzentrums Klagenfurt Two cryptic species of Lotus (Fabaceae) from the Iberian Peninsula Tatiana E. Kramina, Tahir H. Samigullin & Ilya G. Meschersky Summary: The problem of cryptic species is well known in taxonomy of different groups of organisms, including plants, and their recognition can contribute to the assessment of global biodiversity and the development of conservation methods. Analyses of Lotus glareosus and related taxa from the Iberian Peninsula based on various types of data (i.e. sequences of nuclear ribosomal ITS-1-2, 5’ETS and cpDNA trnL-F, seven loci of nuclear microsatellites) revealed that the material earlier determined as ‘L. glareosus’ is subdivided into two genetically distant groups: L. carpetanus, related to L. conimbricensis, and L. glareosus, included in the L. corniculatus complex. Though only slight morphological distinctions were found between them, significant genetic differences comparable to those between sections of the genus Lotus (p-distance 0.07– 0.08 in ITS, 0.060 – 0.067 in ETS and 0.010 – 0.013 in trnL-F; substitution number 43 – 47 bp in ITS, 22–24 bp in ETS and 12–14 bp in trnL-F) and no evidence of genetic exchange suggest that these groups may represent two deeply diverged lineages that should be treated as two separate species.

    Phylogeny of the Genus Lotus (Leguminosae, Loteae): Evidence from Nrits Sequences and Morphology

    813 Phylogeny of the genus Lotus (Leguminosae, Loteae): evidence from nrITS sequences and morphology G.V. Degtjareva, T.E. Kramina, D.D. Sokoloff, T.H. Samigullin, C.M. Valiejo-Roman, and A.S. Antonov Abstract: Lotus (120–130 species) is the largest genus of the tribe Loteae. The taxonomy of Lotus is complicated, and a comprehensive taxonomic revision of the genus is needed. We have conducted phylogenetic analyses of Lotus based on nrITS data alone and combined with data on 46 morphological characters. Eighty-one ingroup nrITS accessions represent- ing 71 Lotus species are studied; among them 47 accessions representing 40 species are new. Representatives of all other genera of the tribe Loteae are included in the outgroup (for three genera, nrITS sequences are published for the first time). Forty-two of 71 ingroup species were not included in previous morphological phylogenetic studies. The most important conclusions of the present study are (1) addition of morphological data to the nrITS matrix produces a better resolved phy- logeny of Lotus; (2) previous findings that Dorycnium and Tetragonolobus cannot be separated from Lotus at the generic level are well supported; (3) Lotus creticus should be placed in section Pedrosia rather than in section Lotea; (4) a broad treatment of section Ononidium is unnatural and the section should possibly not be recognized at all; (5) section Heineke- nia is paraphyletic; (6) section Lotus should include Lotus conimbricensis; then the section is monophyletic; (7) a basic chromosome number of x = 6 is an important synapomorphy for the expanded section Lotus; (8) the segregation of Lotus schimperi and allies into section Chamaelotus is well supported; (9) there is an apparent functional correlation be- tween stylodium and keel evolution in Lotus.

Abstract: Carbonic anhydrase (CA) plays a vital role in photosynthetic tissues of higher plants, whereas its non-photosynthetic role in the symbiotic root nodule was rarely characterized. In this study, 13 CA genes were identified in the model legume Lotus japonicus by comparison with Ara- bidopsis CA genes. Using qPCR and promoter-reporter fusion methods, three previously identified nodule-enhanced CA genes (LjaCA2, LjaCA6, and LjbCA1) have been further characterized, which exhibit different spatiotemporal expression patterns during nodule development. LjaCA2 was ex- pressed in the central infection zone of the mature nodule, including both infected and uninfected cells. LjaCA6 was restricted to the vascular bundle of the root and nodule. As for LjbCA1, it was expressed in most cell types of nodule primordia but only in peripheral cortical cells and uninfected Citation: Wang, L.; Liang, J.; Zhou, cells of the mature nodule.

    Review: Medicago Truncatula As a Model for Understanding Plant Interactions with Other Organisms, Plant Development and Stress Biology: Past, Present and Future

    CSIRO PUBLISHING www.publish.csiro.au/journals/fpb Functional Plant Biology, 2008, 35, 253-- 264 Review: Medicago truncatula as a model for understanding plant interactions with other organisms, plant development and stress biology: past, present and future Ray J. Rose Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Integrative Legume Research, School of Environmental and Life Sciences, The University of Newcastle, Callaghan, NSW 2308, Australia. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Medicago truncatula Gaertn. cv. Jemalong, a pasture species used in Australian agriculture, was first proposed as a model legumein 1990.Sincethat time M. truncatula,along withLotus japonicus(Regal) Larsen, hascontributed tomajor advances in understanding rhizobia Nod factor perception and the signalling pathway involved in nodule formation. Research using M. truncatula as a model has expanded beyond nodulation and the allied mycorrhizal research to investigate interactions with insect pests, plant pathogens and nematodes. In addition to biotic stresses the genetic mechanisms to ameliorate abiotic stresses such as salinity and drought are being investigated. Furthermore, M. truncatula is being used to increase understanding of plant development and cellular differentiation, with nodule differentiation providing a different perspective to organogenesis and meristem biology. This legume plant represents one of the major evolutionary success stories of plant adaptation to its environment, and it is particularly in understanding the capacity to integrate biotic and abiotic plant responses with plant growth and development that M. truncatula has an important role to play. The expanding genomic and genetic toolkit available with M. truncatula provides many opportunities for integrative biological research with a plant which is both a model for functional genomics and important in agricultural sustainability.

Each summer, visitors to Cornell Plantations marvel at the colorful spectacle of container plant- ings assembled around the Lewis Education Center. The bold, sometimes flamboyant flowers and foliage evoke a sense of the tropics and mirror our warm summers. Container garden- ing is gaining popularity for small spaces, and as a way to ac- cent existing gardens. Selecting a container Virtually anything that will hold water is a candidate for con- tainer growing. From a bag of soil with holes punched for planting and drainage to wooden tubs, old riding boots, milk cans, hanging baskets and fancy ornamental pots. You can choose the size, shape and cost to fit your needs and desires. The deeper the pot the less watering it will need. Pots with a small soil volume will dry out faster and require more frequent watering. Unlike plants in the ground, plants in pots or hang- ing baskets in the yard, on the deck or on the windowsill are exposed on all sides to the drying effects of wind and sun. On hot, windy days you may have to water them more than once. Darker colored containers will absorb more heat, which can get seeds and transplants off to a faster start, but these con- tainers will need more watering if they are in direct sunlight. Lighter colored containers may be better for most gardeners.

Email: [email protected] Phone: +598 23 54 0229 Fax: +598 23 59 0436 Keywords: L. corniculatus, L. uliginosus , L. glaber, L. subbiflorus, botanical features, pastures, environmental adaptation, plant breeding. More than 180 species within the genus Lotus occur worldwide. Four have been domesticated and improved through selection and plant breeding: Lotus corniculatus, L. uliginosus, L. glaber and L. subbiflorus. Since the model legume L. japonicus is related taxonomically to these species, knowledge can be transferred to the agronomical arena. The slow progress observed in Lotus cultivar improvements to date could be explained by the polyploid nature of some of these species, a feature not present in L. japonicus. This chapter reviews briefly the taxonomical relationships among these species. Secondly, it illustrates how Lotus species are currently used to improve pastures for which other forage legume species are not suitable. Finally, it touches on beneficial microorganism-plant interactions and the benefits of using Lotus species as animal fodder. INTRODUCTION One of the principal protein sources of the human diet comes from animal origin. Beef and sheep meat production is based on natural, cultivated pastures and feedlot system with nutrient supplement. Cultivated pastures can be composed of a single cultivated species or a mixture of forage species.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Lotus Base: An integrated information portal for the model legume Lotus japonicus Received: 12 July 2016 Terry Mun1, Asger Bachmann1,2, Vikas Gupta1,2, Jens Stougaard1 & Stig U. Andersen1 Accepted: 22 November 2016 Lotus japonicus is a well-characterized model legume widely used in the study of plant-microbe Published: 23 December 2016 interactions. However, datasets from various Lotus studies are poorly integrated and lack interoperability. We recognize the need for a comprehensive repository that allows comprehensive and dynamic exploration of Lotus genomic and transcriptomic data. Equally important are user-friendly in- browser tools designed for data visualization and interpretation. Here, we present Lotus Base, which opens to the research community a large, established LORE1 insertion mutant population containing an excess of 120,000 lines, and serves the end-user tightly integrated data from Lotus, such as the reference genome, annotated proteins, and expression profiling data. We report the integration of expression data from the L. japonicus gene expression atlas project, and the development of tools to cluster and export such data, allowing users to construct, visualize, and annotate co-expression gene networks. Lotus Base takes advantage of modern advances in browser technology to deliver powerful data interpretation for biologists. Its modular construction and publicly available application programming interface enable developers to tap into the wealth of integrated Lotus data. Lotus Base is freely accessible at: https://lotus.au.dk. Lotus japonicus is a popular, well-characterized model legume1, widely used to study plant-microbe interactions due to its ability to establish a range of different types of relationship with microorganisms along the symbio- sis–pathogenesis spectrum—ranging from biological nitrogen fixation2 and arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis3, to bacterial4 and fungal5 pathogenesis.
