KONGJAROON Chutima-Thesis Nosignature.Pdf Investigation into the Use of Molecular Methods to Distinguish between Species of Caladenia Subgenus Calonema Chutima Kongjaroon A thesis submitted in a fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Engineering and Sciences Faculty of Health, Engineering and Science Victoria University Melbourne Australia 2012 Thesis abstract The phylogeny of typical spider orchid (Caladenia subgenus Calonema) is investigated for the first time. The analyses were performed using 17 RAPD and 10 ISSR primers on 30 taxa representing the three spider orchid groups (the dilatata, patersonii and reticulata groups) yielding 135 RAPD and 63 ISSR polymorphic markers. The average number of polymorphic markers produced from 17 RAPD and 10 ISSR primers were 5.12 and 4.48, respectively. 76 RAPD markers and 38 ISSR markers were polymorphic within spider orchid species. The highest number of amplified DNA fragments were produced from OPE15 (8.77 fragments) and UBC 842 (6.71 fragments) while OPF04 (2.93 fragments) and UBC 825 (3.02 fragments) gave the smallest number of amplification products. The average Dice genetic similarity of pairs of individuals within a species ranged from 0.772 to 0.939 based on RAPD and from 0.770 to 0.976 for ISSR data. The 117 spider orchid individuals analysed by RAPD, ISSR and combined data using cluster analysis were classified into three groups that correlate with those based on morphological analysis: reticulata, patersonii and dilatata. The phylogenetic analysis based on three data sets, presented relationships at the intraspecific level that were well supported by bootstrapping. However, the interspecific relationships within the groups remained unclear. Principal component analysis of RAPD and ISSR data also conducted indicating closed relationships between the reticulata and patersonii groups. High correlation (r=0.90) was detected between RAPD and ISSR markers by mean of Mantel test. ii Phylogenetic relationships within the dilatata group were also investigated using ITS and the trnT (UGU) and trnL (UAA) 5’exon spacer sequences. The ITS and the trnT- L had the approximate sizes of 750 bp and 700 bp, respectively. The G+C content of ITS sequences varied from 41.67 to 42.12% which is higher than the G+C content of the trnT-L (25.80 to 26.26%). The aligned data matrix of the ITS region included a total of 671 sites including 544 constant characters, 102 parsimony uninformative characters and 25 parsimony informative characters. The aligned data matrix of the non-coding region of the trnT-L included a total of 677 sites that consisting of 617 constant characters, 49 parsimony uninformative characters and 11 parsimony informative characters. The strict consensus tree inferred from both ITS and the trnT-L sequences and combined data had poor resolution of the dilatata grouping as indicated by unresolved polytomies that were supported with relatively low bootstrap value. The ITS phylogeny well resolved the separation of C. venusta, C. cardiochila, C. tessellata and C. patersonii from the dilatata spider orchid. The trnT-L phylogenetic relationships provided sufficient information to resolve the relationships between C. flaccida, C. latifolia and L. menziesii and typical spider orchids. The phylogenetic tree constructed from combined data tended to have the feature of ITS phylogenetic tree, as ITS sequences had more polymorphisms. The trnT-L sequence of C. verrucosa also showed specific sequences that might be useful in the identification of this species. The use of molecular characters to assess the phylogenetic relationships among the species of Caladenia subgenus Calonema does not address the position of spider iii orchids within their belonging group. This evidence indicates that taxonomic re- examination of the Caladenia subgenus Calonema is needed. iv Student Declaration “I, Chutima Kongjaroon, declare that the PhD thesis entitled Investigation into the Use of Molecular Methods to Distinguish between Species of Caladenia Subgenus Calonema is no more than 100,000 words in length including quotes and exclusive of tables, figures, appendices, bibliography, references and footnotes. This thesis contains no material that has been submitted previously, in whole or in part, for the award of any other academic degree or diploma. Except where otherwise indicated, this thesis is my work”.

  • Landcorp Denmark East Development Precinct Flora and Fauna Survey
    LandCorp Denmark East Development Precinct Flora and Fauna Survey October 2016 Executive summary Introduction Through the Royalties for Regions “Growing our South” initiative, the Shire of Denmark has received funding to provide a second crossing of the Denmark River, to upgrade approximately 6.5 km of local roads and to support the delivery of an industrial estate adjacent to McIntosh Road. GHD Pty Ltd (GHD) was commissioned by LandCorp to undertake a biological assessment of the project survey area. The purpose of the assessment was to identify and describe flora, vegetation and fauna within the survey area. The outcomes of the assessment will be used in the environmental assessment and approvals process and will identify the possible need for, and scope of, further field investigations will inform environmental impact assessment of the road upgrades. The survey area is approximately 68.5 ha in area and includes a broad area of land between Scotsdale Road and the Denmark River and the road reserve and adjacent land along East River Road and McIntosh Road between the Denmark Mt Barker Road and South Western Highway. A 200 m section north and south along the Denmark Mt Barker Road from East River Road was also surveyed. The biological assessment involved a desktop review and three separate field surveys, including a winter flora and fauna survey, spring flora and fauna survey and spring nocturnal fauna survey. Fauna surveys also included the use of movement sensitive cameras in key locations. Key biological aspects The key biological aspects and constraints identified for the survey area are summarised in the following table.

  • Orchids of the Wellington District
    Orchids of the Wellington District A. P. DRUCE The hills around Wellington have at the present time one of the richest orchid floras in New Zealand. Only the Auckland district surpasses Wellington. Yet few people are aware of this and fewer still have searched closely for these fascinating plants. It is not surprising therefore that several of the orchids growing about Wellington have remained unrecorded for a long time. Altogether forty-two orchid species and varieties are now known from this district. For the purpose of this article the Wellington district is taken to include all the Rimutakas, all the western hills and to extend up to the tops of the Tararua Mountains. Very few orchids are found on the western hills (i.e., the hills to the west of the Hutt Valley and Wellington Harbour) from Cook Strait north to about Haywards. Mixed bush clothed these hills originally—beech was absent. The soils differ from those across the harbour and second-growth is more often tauhinu than manuka. In some way or other the conditions are not right for most of the orchids. Over the rest of the district however, wherever manuka holds sway there are large numbers of orchids of many species. On Mrs. Prasophyllum colensoi (left), Adenochilus gracilis (centre) and Microtis unifolia (right). 4 h Pterostylis nana (left) and Pterostylis barbata (right). Samson's section at Pinehaven for instance over twenty species may be found and a sample area nearby showed that at least 10,000 indi- vidual orchids grow per acre in that locality. There cannot have been anything like these numbers a century ago for most of the manuka land was in bush and the orchids of the bush, besides being different, are comparatively few in number.
