Biol 317 Lecture Notes – Week 4 Summary Caryophyllids BIOL 317 LECTURE NOTES – WEEK 4 SUMMARY CARYOPHYLLIDS, SAXIFRAGALES, ROSIDS (MALVIDS PART I) Caryophyllids – One of the 3 major groups of ‘core’ eudicots (along with Rosidae and Asteridae). Currently thought to be sister to the Asteridae. There is a well-defined clade recognized through much of the history of angiosperm classification, with several distinctive synapomorphies, including: 1) free-central placentation (hence the archaic name ‘Centrospermae’). Sometimes basal or parietal (e.g., Cactaceae): the loss of septa separating locules can result in basal, parietal, or free-central placentae. 2) betalain pigments, red pigments containing nitrogen. Most other flowering plants have a different type of red pigments, called anthocyanins. EXCEPTION: members of Caryophyllaceae have anthocyanins and NOT betalains, unlike other families in this clade. 3) perisperm nutritive tissue in seeds. Perisperm is derived from the ovule wall, rather than from endosperm = diploid (sporophyte) parent tissue. 4) curved embryo. 5) “P-type plastid”: unique sieve-tube plastid with a proteinaceous inclusion. The families sharing these traits have been recognized as the order Caryophyllales in the past. However, this classification has changed over time, with current systems broadening the definition of the order Caryophyllales to include its sister clade, Polygonales. According to this broader circumscription (which is used in the textbook), Caryophyllales consists of 2 sub-orders: Caryophyllinae (= former Caryophyllales, share synapomorphies listed above) and Polygoninae (= former Polygonales, do not share synapomorphies listed above). Caryophyllales (Polygoninae) - Polygonaceae (43 gen/1100 spp) – Buckwheat family. Includes buckwheat and rhubarb. (1) Herbaceous or woody (woody species mostly in the tropics). (2) Leaves simple, alternate; with sheathing stipules at the nodes (called an ocrea). Note: the large native genus Eriogonum contains species without evident ocrea. (3) Flowers 3-parted - tepals usually 6 (sometimes 5) - stamens 6-9 - 2-3 fused carpels, superior ovary, basal placentation - fruit achene or nutlet, often 3-angled or winged. Some anatomists interpret the flowers in the Caryophyllinae to be without petals and consider all perianth parts to be tepals, modified bracts (sepals in Portulacaceae), or modified stamens (petals in Caryophyllaceae). Halophytes (e.g., Chenopodiaceae) and xerophytes (e.g., Cactaceae) are common in this group, hence a lot of plants are succulent, which is an adaptation for conserving water. Caryophyllales (Caryophyllinae) - Caryophyllaceae (70 gen/2200 spp) – Carnation, or pink family. (1) Herbaceous. (2) Opposite leaves, swollen nodes. Leaves usually simple and entire. (3) Floral parts in 5s; petals often bilobed, or with well developed claw (forming tube) and blade - 10 stamens - ovary of 2-5 fused carpels, superior - fruit a capsule - placentation usually free-central. (4) NO BETALAINS. Caryophyllales (Caryophyllinae) - “Portulacaceae” (19 gen/450 spp) – Purslane family. This family is paraphyletic with respect to the Cactaceae (i.e., Cactaceae are derived from within Portulacaceae). (1) Herbaceous, plants often somewhat succulent. (2) Leaves simple, alternate or opposite, often fleshy. (3) Flowers with characteristic paired bracts, usually called sepals, beneath each flower - petals (really tepals, because ‘sepals’ are really bracts) 5 or more - stamens 5 (or many). Lewisia is an important exception here in PNW with many (2-9) sepaloid bracts and many tepals. 2-3 fused carpels, ovary superior - free-central to basal placentation - fruit a capsule. Caryophyllales (Caryophyllinae) - Cactaceae (93 gen/1400 spp) – Cactus family. (1) Succulent stems, usually photosynthetic, variously shaped, sometimes flattened or fluted - ‘primitive’ cacti are vines or shrubs, have ‘normal’ leaves, not succulent. (2) Leaves ephemeral or reduced - axillary buds, called areoles, with leaves in the form of spines (glochids). (3) Flowers exhibit a secondary increase in the number of parts - many tepals usually united at the base into a hypanthium - many stamens arising from the hypanthium - inferior ovary of 3-many fused carpels - placentation parietal - fruit a berry. Saxifragales, unlike Caryophyllineae, has historically not been straightforward to define. It is currently recognized as a clade of 15 families, sister to the Rosidae. Saxifragales - Saxifragaceae (30 gen/550 spp) – Saxifrage family. This family contains herbaceous plants centered in the western USA. (1) Herbaceous. (2) Leaves simple, alt., often palmate; often forming basal rosette. (3) Flowers actinomorphic (rarely zygomorphic, e.g., Tolmeia) - sepals and petals in 5s, often attached to a cup-shaped or flared hypanthium - stamens 5 or 10 - carpels 2-3 partially fused at base - ovary may be superior, half inferior, or inferior (depending on degree of fusion of hypanthium to ovary wall) - fruit usually a capsule. Rosidae. Together with Asteridae, this clade contains most of the species of eudicots. We have already covered two families of rosids: Fagaceae and Betulaceae (both in the order Fagales). Geraniales - Geraniaceae (7 genera; 750 spp) – Geranium family. (1) Herbs to subshrubs. (2) Leaves alternate or opposite; often palmate; simple, lobed, or compound. (3) Flowers bisexual, actinomorphic or zygomorphic - sepals 5, petals 5 - stamens (5-) 10 or 15 - carpels 5, fused - ovary superior with persistent, sterile column in center that elongates after the flower is pollinated - axile placentation - fruit a schizocarp splitting into 5 one-seeded segments (achenes) that separate from the central column. Myrtales - Onagraceae (16 gen/650 spp) – Evening primrose family. This small family is particularly prominent in the western USA and includes evening primroses, Clarkia, fireweed, etc. (1) Herbaceous. (2) Leaf arrangement variable (alternate, opposite or whorled); leaves simple, usually entire. (3) Flowers bisexual, actinomorphic or zygomorphic - parts in 4’s (except Circaea, WA native with 2-parted fls) - anthers versatile - which means attached by a thin connective allowing them to dangle loosely - pollen usually in tetrads (four grains that don’t separate); attached by viscin threads - ovary inferior - axile placentation - fruit a capsule. A good monophyletic family not threatened with extinction due to inclusion in another group! In Oenothera, SC/SI are highly variable, so it is a good system to study breeding system evolution. Shifts are usually from SI -> SC; self-incompatibility has been lost multiple times independently. Extreme environments and small populations select for SC, as does limited pollinator availability. Where the chance of reproductive failure is increased, reproductive assurance (selfing) confers higher fitness than outcrossing. “It is better to have reproduced by selfing than never to have reproduced at all” – Holsinger 1992. Sapindales - Aceraceae (2 gen/113 spp) – Maple family. (1) Woody trees or shrubs. (2) Leaves opposite - typically palmate venation; usually simple to palmately lobed, sometimes palmately compound (ancestral leaves in Sapindaceae are pinnately compound). (3) Flowers actinomorphic, bisexual or unisexual; unisexual flowers usually male - may be insect or wind pollinated - sepals and petals 4-5 - stamens 4-10 - 2 fused carpels each with pronounced wing - fruit a samaroid schizocarp: splitting into 2 one-seeded segments, each segment winged and dispersed by wind. In most systems (incl. in the textbook), the family Aceraceae is included in a larger family, Sapindaceae, which is a paraphyletic ancestral group. Sapindaceae are largely tropical, and include more variation in floral morphology. The Hippocastanaceae (Horse Chestnut or Buckeye family) is another north- temperate family derived from within Sapindaceae. Aceraceae and Hippocastanaceae both are monophyletic, but by recognizing those families as distinct from the traditional Sapindaceae, the Sapindaceae are paraphyletic. .

  • Full of Beans: a Study on the Alignment of Two Flowering Plants Classification Systems
    Full of beans: a study on the alignment of two flowering plants classification systems Yi-Yun Cheng and Bertram Ludäscher School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA {yiyunyc2,ludaesch}@illinois.edu Abstract. Advancements in technologies such as DNA analysis have given rise to new ways in organizing organisms in biodiversity classification systems. In this paper, we examine the feasibility of aligning two classification systems for flowering plants using a logic-based, Region Connection Calculus (RCC-5) ap- proach. The older “Cronquist system” (1981) classifies plants using their mor- phological features, while the more recent Angiosperm Phylogeny Group IV (APG IV) (2016) system classifies based on many new methods including ge- nome-level analysis. In our approach, we align pairwise concepts X and Y from two taxonomies using five basic set relations: congruence (X=Y), inclusion (X>Y), inverse inclusion (X<Y), overlap (X><Y), and disjointness (X!Y). With some of the RCC-5 relationships among the Fabaceae family (beans family) and the Sapindaceae family (maple family) uncertain, we anticipate that the merging of the two classification systems will lead to numerous merged solutions, so- called possible worlds. Our research demonstrates how logic-based alignment with ambiguities can lead to multiple merged solutions, which would not have been feasible when aligning taxonomies, classifications, or other knowledge or- ganization systems (KOS) manually. We believe that this work can introduce a novel approach for aligning KOS, where merged possible worlds can serve as a minimum viable product for engaging domain experts in the loop. Keywords: taxonomy alignment, KOS alignment, interoperability 1 Introduction With the advent of large-scale technologies and datasets, it has become increasingly difficult to organize information using a stable unitary classification scheme over time.

Sequences were obtained from GenBank and analyzed using the maximum likelihood and the maximum parsimony approaches. A maximum likelihood tree was built using sequences of the rbcL plastid gene in order to enable comparison of the results. The GA20ox1 gene presents neutral evolution, levels of homoplasy equivalent to that observed in chloroplast sequences and generated well-resolved phylogenetic relationships. The relationship between Mocots and Eudicots based on the GA20ox1 gene was clear resolved, revealing the evolution of both groups. All these characteristics taken together make the GA20ox1 gene a promissory marker to corroborate as well as to complement and resolve phylogeneticKeywords: relationships among species within one to several genera.

  • 2 ANGIOSPERM PHYLOGENY GROUP (APG) SYSTEM History Of
    ANGIOSPERM PHYLOGENY GROUP (APG) SYSTEM The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, or APG, refers to an informal international group of systematic botanists who came together to try to establish a consensus view of the taxonomy of flowering plants (angiosperms) that would reflect new knowledge about their relationships based upon phylogenetic studies. As of 2010, three incremental versions of a classification system have resulted from this collaboration (published in 1998, 2003 and 2009). An important motivation for the group was what they viewed as deficiencies in prior angiosperm classifications, which were not based on monophyletic groups (i.e. groups consisting of all the descendants of a common ancestor). APG publications are increasingly influential, with a number of major herbaria changing the arrangement of their collections to match the latest APG system. Angiosperm classification and the APG Until detailed genetic evidence became available, the classification of flowering plants (also known as angiosperms, Angiospermae, Anthophyta or Magnoliophyta) was based on their morphology (particularly that of the flower) and their biochemistry (what kinds of chemical compound they contained or produced). Classification systems were typically produced by an individual botanist or by a small group. The result was a large number of such systems (see List of systems of plant taxonomy). Different systems and their updates tended to be favoured in different countries; e.g. the Engler system in continental Europe; the Bentham & Hooker system in Britain (particularly influential because it was used by Kew); the Takhtajan system in the former Soviet Union and countries within its sphere of influence; and the Cronquist system in the United States.

Abstract To elucidate the affinity and phylogeny of the endemic North American genus Uvularia, two chloroplast genes, matK and rbcL, were sequenced for all five species of the genus {Uvularia floridana, U. grandifolia, U. per- foliata, U. puberula, and U. sessilifolia) and four selected members of the Liliales (Erythronium japonicum, Disporum sessile, Medeola virginiana, and Clintonia borealis). Sequence data of both matK and rbcL genes support an Uvularia which consist of two clades, section Oakesiella and section Uvularia. Though sessile-leaved and associated with sec- tion Oakesiella, U. puberula exhibits several intermediate characteristics between the sections. However, the overall molecular results correspond to an earlier sub-grouping based upon gross morphology, karyology and ecological life history traits. These two cpDNA genes, notably matK tree, proved to be informative in reaffirming relationships with- in Uvularia.
