Carnivorous Plant Newsletter V44 N4 December 2015
Technical Refereed Contribution Soil pH values at sites of terrestrial carnivorous plants in south-west Europe Lubomír Adamec • Institute of Botany of the Czech Academy of Sciences • Dukelská 135 • CZ-379 82 Trˇebonˇ • Czech Republic • [email protected] Keywords: Soil water pH, neutral soils, Pinguicula spp., Drosera intermedia, Drosophyllum lusitanicum. Abstract: Although the majority of terrestrial carnivorous plants grow in acidic soils at a pH of 3.5-5.5, there are many dozens of carnivorous species, mostly mountainous or rocky Pinguicula species, which grow preferen- tially or strictly in neutral or slightly alkaline soils at pHs between 7-8. Knowledge of an optimum soil pH value and an amplitude of this factor may be important not only for understanding the ecology of various species and their conservation, but also for successfully growing them. I report soil pH values at microsites of 15 terrestrial carnivorous plant species or subspecies in SW Europe. Introduction The majority of terrestrial carnivorous plants grow in wetlands such as peat bogs, fens, wet meadows, or wet clayish sands. The soils have usually low available mineral nutrient content (N, P, K, Ca, Mg), are hypoxic or anoxic and usually acidic (Juniper et al. 1989; Adamec 1997; Rice 2006). Unlike mineral nutritional character- istics of these soils, which have commonly been studied and related to carnivorous plant growth in the field or greenhouse experiments and which have also been published (for the review see Adamec 1997), relatively very little is known about the relationship between soil pH and growth of terrestrial carnivorous plants. Although some limited knowledge of soil pH at habitats of carnivorous plants or in typical substrates exist among botanists and growers (e.g., Roberts & Oosting 1958; Aldenius et al. -

Functional Gene Losses Occur with Minimal Size Reduction in the Plastid Genome of the Parasitic Liverwort Aneura Mirabilis
Functional Gene Losses Occur with Minimal Size Reduction in the Plastid Genome of the Parasitic Liverwort Aneura mirabilis Norman J. Wickett,* Yan Zhang, S. Kellon Hansen,à Jessie M. Roper,à Jennifer V. Kuehl,§ Sheila A. Plock, Paul G. Wolf,k Claude W. dePamphilis, Jeffrey L. Boore,§ and Bernard Goffinetà *Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut; Department of Biology, Penn State University; àGenome Project Solutions, Hercules, California; §Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute and University of California Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Walnut Creek, California; and kDepartment of Biology, Utah State University Aneura mirabilis is a parasitic liverwort that exploits an existing mycorrhizal association between a basidiomycete and a host tree. This unusual liverwort is the only known parasitic seedless land plant with a completely nonphotosynthetic life history. The complete plastid genome of A. mirabilis was sequenced to examine the effect of its nonphotosynthetic life history on plastid genome content. Using a partial genomic fosmid library approach, the genome was sequenced and shown to be 108,007 bp with a structure typical of green plant plastids. Comparisons were made with the plastid genome of Marchantia polymorpha, the only other liverwort plastid sequence available. All ndh genes are either absent or pseudogenes. Five of 15 psb genes are pseudogenes, as are 2 of 6 psa genes and 2 of 6 pet genes. Pseudogenes of cysA, cysT, ccsA, and ycf3 were also detected. The remaining complement of genes present in M. polymorpha is present in the plastid of A. mirabilis with intact open reading frames. All pseudogenes and gene losses co-occur with losses detected in the plastid of the parasitic angiosperm Epifagus virginiana, though the latter has functional gene losses not found in A. -

Systematics and Ecology of the Moss Genus Scleropodium (Brachytheciaceae)
Systematics and ecology of the moss genus Scleropodium (Brachytheciaceae) By Benjamin Elias Carter A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Brent D. Mishler, Chair Professor Bruce G. Baldwin Professor Chelsea D. Specht Spring 2012 Abstract Systematics and ecology of the moss genus Scleropodium (Brachytheciaceae) By Benjamin Elias Carter Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology University of California, Berkeley Professor Brent D. Mishler, Chair Scleropodium is a genus of six species in the Brachytheciaceae. Although they are common in north temperate zones, they have not received monographic treatment in over a century. The aims of this study were to test species circumscriptions within the genus with molecular data, complete a thorough global taxonomic treatment of the genus, and to quantitatively investigate the ecological preferences of the species. A molecular phylogenetic study was conducted using 104 individuals spanning the range of morphological variation and the geographic extent of the genus. Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analyses and a statistical parsimony network analysis of ITS and the chloroplast rps4, bsbA2 and trnG regions were performed. Although slight differences were found among analyses, there were six clear molecular groups. Five of these corresponded directly to the species Scleropodium californicum, S. cespitans, S. julaceum, S. obtusifolium and S. touretii. The sixth species, S. occidentale, is new to science and is described here. It is similar in ecology and morphology to S. obtusifolium, but has several diagnostic features in both molecular markers and morphological characters.
