A Molecular Phylogenetic Study of Graptopetalum (Crassulaceae) Based on Ets, Its, Rpl16, and Trnl-F Nucleotide Sequences1
American Journal of Botany 91(7): 1099±1104. 2004.

Graptopetalum is member of a group of taxa restricted to North America, one of the centers of diversity of Crassulaceae; however, their phylogenetic relationships are not yet understood. Nineteen species of Graptopetalum and 24 species from nine other genera of Crassulaceae were sampled for use in three separate parsimony analyses: ITS alone, ETS alone, and a combined nuclear 1 plastid DNA analysis using all four gene regions. The ETS data set had the highest number of parsimony-informative sites, about 30% more than in ITS, but the most fully resolved tree resulted when the four DNA regions were combined. Only four subclades of the tree received moderate to strong bootstrap support, one of which includes all species of Graptopetalum having a single whorl of stamens. However, Graptopetalum is not monophyletic. Instead, Tacitus bellus and select species of Cremnophila, Sedum, and Echeveria are interspersed among species of Graptopetalum and show evidence of grouping according to geographical range of distribution more so than habit or ¯oral morphology. -

Plants for a Thirsty State
Plants for a Thirsty State by Nevin Smith and Ginny Hunt © 2016 Suncrest Nurseries, Inc. www.suncrestnurseries.com Introduction As we approach the close of a fourth critically dry season in California, it is time for those of us who love to garden to take stock of where we've been, and where we're going. It is probably safe to say that the days of extravagant water use are over, except perhaps in the wettest years. But a constructive challenge remains: How to continue to provide beauty and diversity in the garden with a more limited water budget. You may wonder whether there is really a good variety of water-conserving plants to choose from, in terms of forms, textures and colors, and whether they can be grown by ordinary mortals. This booklet is devoted to answering these questions with an emphatic "Yes". "Drought Tolerance" and the Real World Few phrases have been so much used and abused concerning garden plants in the past four years as "drought tolerant". The concept is well-intentioned, but it means radically different things to different people, including professional horticulturists. It can cover desert plants, like the agaves, that can thrive for months or years with no water beyond meager winter rains. It is more often applied to plants that will live, sometimes thrive, with natural winter rainfall in more temperate regions and irrigation every few weeks in the summer. And sometimes it is altogether misapplied, to plants that simply don't consume as much water as others for growth and maintenance, though they should never go dry. -

Par- Available online 29 May 2009 simony and Bayesian analyses were conducted with 133 species based on nuclear (ETS, ITS) and chloro- plast DNA regions (rpS16, matK). Our analyses retrieved four major clades within the Acre clade. Two of Keywords: these were in a grade and corresponded to Asian species of Sedum, the rest corresponded to a European– Altamiranoa Macaronesian group and to an American group. The American group included all taxa that were formerly ETS Graptopetalum placed in the Echeverioideae and the majority of the American Sedoideae. Our analyses support the ITS monophyly of three genera – Lenophyllum, Thompsonella, and Pachyphytum; however, the relationships Lenophyllum among Echeveria, Sedum and the various segregates of Sedum are largely unresolved. -
Linnaeus's Folly – Phylogeny, Evolution and Classification of Sedum
Messerschmid & al. • Phylogeny of Sedum and Sempervivoideae TAXON 69 (5) • October 2020: 892–926 SYSTEMATICS AND PHYLOGENY Linnaeus’s folly – phylogeny, evolution and classification of Sedum (Crassulaceae) and Crassulaceae subfamily Sempervivoideae Thibaud F.E. Messerschmid,1,2 Johannes T. Klein,3 Gudrun Kadereit2 & Joachim W. Kadereit1 1 Institut für Organismische und Molekulare Evolutionsbiologie, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, 55099 Mainz, Germany 2 Institut für Molekulare Physiologie, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, 55099 Mainz, Germany 3 Gothenburg Global Biodiversity Centre, Gothenburg, Sweden Address for correspondence: Thibaud Messerschmid, [email protected] DOI https://doi.org/10.1002/tax.12316 Abstract Sedum, containing approximately 470 species, is by far the largest genus of Crassulaceae. Three decades of molecular phy- logenetic work have provided evidence for the non-monophyly of Sedum and many more of the 30 genera of Crassulaceae subfam. Sempervivoideae. In this study, we present a broadly sampled and dated molecular phylogeny of Sempervivoideae including 80% of all infrageneric taxa described in Sedum as well as most other genera of the subfamily. We used sequences of one nuclear (ITS) and three plastid markers (matK, rps16, trnL-trnF). The five major lineages of Sempervivoideae (i.e., Telephium clade, Petrosedum clade, Sempervivum/Jovibarba, Aeonium clade, Leucosedum plus Acre clades) were resolved as successive sister to each other in the phylo- genetic analysis of the plastid markers, while in the ITS phylogeny the Petrosedum clade is the closest relative of the Aeonium clade. Our dating analysis of ITS suggests that Sempervivoideae diversified rapidly throughout the Paleocene and Eocene, possibly in the area of the former Tethys and Paratethys archipelago. -

The speci- mens analyzed come from the Sierra de Santa Bárbara, Guanajuato, Mexico. Some morphological diagnostic characters for the new species are: sticky stems and leaves; dark green leaves; absence of wax on all their or- gans; and pale pink flowers. The new species is placed in the section Diotostemon of the genus, with pos- sible proximity to P. brevifolium and P. hookeri. DNA sequence analysis from the matK and rbcL chloroplast regions, as well as ITS2 nuclear loci, revealed the presence of molecular diagnostic sites which, in addition to the aforementioned morphological character states, further support the taxonomic description as well as future integrative taxonomy studies in Mexican Crassulaceae. Resumen: Se describe a Pachyphytum viscidum (Crassulaceae: Saxifragales) como una especie nueva para la ciencia. Los especímenes analizados provienen de la Sierra de Santa Bárbara, Guanajuato, México. -

Donors to the SSC Conservation Communications Programme and Cactus and Succulent Plants: Status Survey and Conservation Action Plan The IUCN/Species Survival Commission is committed to communicate important species conservation information to natural resource managers, decision-makers and others whose actions affect the conservation of biodiversity. The SSC’s Action Plans, Occasional Papers, news magazine (Species), Membership Directory and other publications are supported by a wide variety of generous donors including: The Sultanate of Oman established the Peter Scott IUCN/SSC Action Plan Fund in 1990. The Fund supports Action Plan development and implementation; to date, more than 80 grants have been made from the Fund to Specialist Groups. As a result, the Action Plan Programme has progressed at an accelerated level and the network has grown and matured significantly. The SSC is grateful to the Sultanate of Oman for its confidence in and support for species conservation worldwide. The Chicago Zoological Society (CZS] provides significant in-kind and cash support to the SSC, including grants for special projects, editorial and design services, staff secondments and related support services. The mission of CZS is to help people develop a sustainable and harmonious relationship with nature. The Zoo carries out its mission by informing and inspiring 2,000,OOO annual visitors, serving as a refuge for species threatened with extinction, developing scientific approaches to manage species successfully in zoos and the wild, and working with other zoos, agencies, and protected areas around the world to conserve habitats and wildlife. The Council ofAgriculture (CO&, Taiwan has awarded major grants to the SSC’s Wildlife Trade Programme and Conservation Communications Programme.
