    Circumscription and Phylogeny of Apiaceae Subfamily Saniculoideae Based on Chloroplast DNA Sequences

    ARTICLE IN PRESS Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution xxx (2007) xxx–xxx www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Circumscription and phylogeny of Apiaceae subfamily Saniculoideae based on chloroplast DNA sequences Carolina I. Calviño a,b,¤, Stephen R. Downie a a Department of Plant Biology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL 61801-3707, USA b Instituto de Botánica Darwinion, Buenos Aires, Argentina Received 14 July 2006; revised 3 January 2007; accepted 4 January 2007 Abstract An estimate of phylogenetic relationships within Apiaceae subfamily Saniculoideae was inferred using data from the chloroplast DNA trnQ-trnK 5Ј-exon region to clarify the circumscription of the subfamily and to assess the monophyly of its constituent genera. Ninety- one accessions representing 14 genera and 82 species of Apiaceae were examined, including the genera Steganotaenia, Polemanniopsis, and Lichtensteinia which have been traditionally treated in subfamily Apioideae but determined in recent studies to be more closely related to or included within subfamily Saniculoideae. The trnQ-trnK 5Ј-exon region includes two intergenic spacers heretofore underutilized in molecular systematic studies and the rps16 intron. Analyses of these loci permitted an assessment of the relative utility of these noncoding regions (including the use of indel characters) for phylogenetic study at diVerent hierarchical levels. The use of indels in phylogenetic anal- yses of both combined and partitioned data sets improves resolution of relationships, increases bootstrap support values, and decreases levels of overall homoplasy. Intergeneric relationships derived from maximum parsimony, Bayesian, and maximum likelihood analyses, as well as from maximum parsimony analysis of indel data alone, are fully resolved and consistent with one another and generally very well supported.

Author for correspondence: Ben-Erik van Wyk, [email protected] Abstract Phylogenetic analyses of the cpDNA trnQ-trnK 5′ exon region for 27 genera and 42 species of Saniculoideae and early diverging lineages of Apioideae were carried out to assess or confirm the tribal placements of the following anomalous genera: Annesorhiza, Astydamia, Chamarea, Choritaenia, Ezosciadium, Itasina, Lichtensteinia, Marlothiella, Molopospermum and Phlyctidocarpa. To accommodate these unique early diverging members of the Apiaceae and to reflect their relationships, a new tribal classification system has become necessary. Many of the early diverging genera (herein referred to as the pro- toapioids) can readily be distinguished from the euapioids (the remaining apioids) by the presence of scattered druse crystals in the mesocarp. The major morphological discontinuity within the family, however, lies between the combined protoapioids and euapioids (representing an expanded Apioideae s.l., including the Saniculoideae) and the subfamilies Azorelloideae and Mackinlayoideae.

  • Taxonomy, Origin and Importance of the Apiaceae Family

    Taxonomy, Origin and Importance of the Apiaceae Family

    1 TAXONOMY, ORIGIN AND IMPORTANCE OF THE APIACEAE FAMILY JEAN-PIERRE REDURON* Mulhouse, France The Apiaceae (or Umbelliferae) is a plant family comprising at the present time 466 genera and about 3800 species (Plunkett et al., 2018). It is distributed nearly worldwide, but is most diverse in temperate climatic areas, such as Eurasia and North America. It is quite rare in tropical humid regions where it is limited to high mountains. Mediterranean and arid climatic conditions favour high species diversification. The Apiaceae are present in nearly all types of habi- tats, from sea-level to alpine zones: aquatic biotopes, grasslands, grazed pas- tures, forests including their clearings and margins, cliffs, screes, rocky hills, open sandy and gravelly soils, steppes, cultivated fields, fallows, road sides and waste grounds. The largest number of genera, 289, and the largest generic endemism, 177, is found in Asia. There are 126 genera in Europe, but only 17 are en- demic. Africa has about the same total with 121 genera, where North Africa encompasses the largest occurrence of 82 genera, 13 of which are endemic. North and Central America have a fairly high level of diversity with 80 genera and 44 endemics, where South America accommodates less generic diversity with 35 genera, 15 of which are endemic. Oceania is home to 27 genera and 18 endemics (Plunkett et al., 2018). The Apiaceae family appears to have originated in Australasia (region including Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, New Guinea, New Caledonia and several island groups), with this origin dated to the Late Cretaceous/ early Eocene, c.87 Ma (Nicolas and Plunkett, 2014).
  • Intraspecific Variation and Taxonomic Aspects of Some Plants from the Apuan Alps (Tuscany, Italy)

    Intraspecific Variation and Taxonomic Aspects of Some Plants from the Apuan Alps (Tuscany, Italy)

    Flora Mediterranea 4 - 1994 213 N. Bechi & F. Garbari Intraspecific variation and taxonomic aspects of some plants from the Apuan Alps (Tuscany, Italy) Abstract Bechi, N.& Garbari, F.: Intraspecific variation and taxonomic aspects of some plants from the Apuan Alps (Tuscany, ltaJy). - FI . Medit. 4: 213-225. 1994. - ISSN 1120·4052. In the Apuan Alps (NW Tuscany) severa1 pIant species occur as popuIations that are morphologically, genetically andecologically distinct. Such natural groups, in formai taxonomy, are best treated at subspecific rank. Taxonomic considerations and nomenclatural adjustments are here presented for a number of taxa in the genera Carum (Umbelliferae), Buphthalmum (Compositae), Rhinanthus (Scrophulariaceae), Astrantia (Umbelliferae), and Asperula (Rubiaceae). Introduction A biosystematic analysis of the Apuan flora, has been carried out for several years at the Department of Botany of the University of Pisa (for exhaustive bibliographical references, cf. Bechi &' al. 1991 , Garbari & Bechi 1992). H intends to bring into evidence the possible presence, within this area, of morphologically, genetlcally, and ecologically distinct populations, to evaluate the appropriate hierarchical level at which they should be recognized taxonomically, and to propose the consequent nomenclatural changes. H is well known that the Apuan region is a territory of intense diversification in plants, and al so of survival of ramarkable relict taxa (Garbari 1988a), as evidenced by the presence of numerous endemics. Descriptions of new taxa and new floristic records are both frequent in this area (Raffaelli & Fiesoli 1993). The present contribution intends to update the taxonomic and nomenclatural treatment of some taxa by giving formaI recognition to the resuIts of a biosystematic analysis of the corresponding natural groups.

Although this grass is widely distributed in central and south-eastern Europe reaching dominance in certain grassland types, the knowledge on its ecology and coenology is very poor. More- over, some of the published data on its distribution are wrongly related to Avenula praeusta. We studied the taxon within an area of about 300 km2 (Central Slovakia) where it occurs in diverse habitats. Data from a systematic phytosociological survey were used to assess interspecific associations and ecologi- cal indicator values of the taxon. Detailed measurements from a transect along a spruce colonisation gradient were used to evaluate its relationship to a set of topographical, microclimatical, pedological and soil-microbiological characteristics. Tillers of A. adsurgens subsp. adsurgens were cultivated for two growing seasons to estimate characteristics of its clonal morphology and growth and its ability of spatial spreading. In the studied area, the taxon occurred mainly over the volcanic bedrock along a wide range of altitudes.

    Plants That Attract Beneficial Insects

    PLANTS THAT ATTRACT BENEFICIAL INSECTS Nature is filled with “good bugs”, crawling and flying creatures whose diet includes pests that ravage garden plants. Here is a list of those good bugs and the plants that they like to visit for shelter and as another source of food for their diet, the sugar from flowers. Intersperse these plants among the “problem pest areas” in your yard. Keep in mind that many chemical sprays harm both bad and good bugs. To keep the good bugs on the job, eliminate harsh insecticide use in areas inhabited by beneficial insects. LACEWINGS (Chrysopa spp.) Beautiful, little (3/4”) green or brown insects with large lacy wings. Individual white eggs are found laid on the ends of inch-long stiff threads. It is the larvae (which look like little alligators) that destroy most of the pests. They are sometimes called aphid lions for their habit of dining on aphids. They also feed on mites, other small insects and insect eggs. On spring and summer evenings, lacewings can sometimes be seen clinging to porch lights, screens or windows. Plants that attract lacewings: •Achillea filipendulina Fern-leaf yarrow •Anethum graveolens Dill •Angelica gigas Angelica Queen Anne’s Lace •Anthemis tinctoria Golden marguerite Golden marguerite •Atriplex canescens Four-wing saltbush •Callirhoe involucrata Purple poppy mallow •Carum carvi Caraway •Coriandrum sativum Coriander •Cosmos bipinnatus Cosmos white sensation Fern-leaf yarrow •Daucus carota Queen Anne’s lace Cosmos white sensation •Foeniculum vulgare Fennel •Helianthus maximilianii Prairie sunflower •Tanacetum vulgare Tansy •Taraxacum officinale Dandelion Angelica LADYBUGS Easily recognized when they are adults by most gardeners.
