    Acta Botanica Brasilica doi: 10.1590/0102-33062020abb0051 Toward a phylogenetic reclassification of the subfamily Ambavioideae (Annonaceae): establishment of a new subfamily and a new tribe Tanawat Chaowasku1 Received: February 14, 2020 Accepted: June 12, 2020 . ABSTRACT A molecular phylogeny of the subfamily Ambavioideae (Annonaceae) was reconstructed using up to eight plastid DNA regions (matK, ndhF, and rbcL exons; trnL intron; atpB-rbcL, psbA-trnH, trnL-trnF, and trnS-trnG intergenic spacers). The results indicate that the subfamily is not monophyletic, with the monotypic genus Meiocarpidium resolved as the second diverging lineage of Annonaceae after Anaxagorea (the only genus of Anaxagoreoideae) and as the sister group of a large clade consisting of the rest of Annonaceae. Consequently, a new subfamily, Meiocarpidioideae, is established to accommodate the enigmatic African genus Meiocarpidium. In addition, the subfamily Ambavioideae is redefined to contain two major clades formally recognized as two tribes. The tribe Tetramerantheae consisting of only Tetrameranthus is enlarged to include Ambavia, Cleistopholis, and Mezzettia; and Canangeae, a new tribe comprising Cananga, Cyathocalyx, Drepananthus, and Lettowianthus, are erected. The two tribes are principally distinguishable from each other by differences in monoploid chromosome number, branching architecture, and average pollen size (monads). New relationships were retrieved within Tetramerantheae, with Mezzettia as the sister group of a clade containing Ambavia and Cleistopholis.

Abstract Background: Phylogenetic analyses of the Annonaceae consistently identify four clades: a basal clade consisting of Anaxagorea, and a small 'ambavioid' clade that is sister to two main clades, the 'long branch clade' (LBC) and 'short branch clade' (SBC). Divergence times in the family have previously been estimated using non-parametric rate smoothing (NPRS) and penalized likelihood (PL). Here we use an uncorrelated lognormal (UCLD) relaxed molecular clock in BEAST to estimate diversification times of the main clades within the family with a focus on the Asian genus Pseuduvaria within the SBC. Two fossil calibration points are applied, including the first use of the recently discovered Annonaceae fossil Futabanthus.

  • Fossil Calibration of Magnoliidae, an Ancient Lineage of Angiosperms
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Fossil calibration of Magnoliidae, an ancient lineage of angiosperms Julien Massoni, James Doyle, and Hervé Sauquet ABSTRACT In order to investigate the diversification of angiosperms, an accurate temporal framework is needed. Molecular dating methods thoroughly calibrated with the fossil record can provide estimates of this evolutionary time scale. Because of their position in the phylogenetic tree of angiosperms, Magnoliidae (10,000 species) are of primary importance for the investigation of the evolutionary history of flowering plants. The rich fossil record of the group, beginning in the Cretaceous, has a global distribution. Among the hundred extinct species of Magnoliidae described, several have been included in phylogenetic analyses alongside extant species, providing reliable calibra- tion points for molecular dating studies. Until now, few fossils have been used as cali- bration points of Magnoliidae, and detailed justifications of their phylogenetic position and absolute age have been lacking. Here, we review the position and ages for 10 fos- sils of Magnoliidae, selected because of their previous inclusion in phylogenetic analy- ses of extant and fossil taxa. This study allows us to propose an updated calibration scheme for dating the evolutionary history of Magnoliidae. Julien Massoni.

    Massoni et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2015) 15:49 DOI 10.1186/s12862-015-0320-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Five major shifts of diversification through the long evolutionary history of Magnoliidae (angiosperms) Julien Massoni1*, Thomas LP Couvreur2,3 and Hervé Sauquet1 Abstract Background: With 10,000 species, Magnoliidae are the largest clade of flowering plants outside monocots and eudicots. Despite an ancient and rich fossil history, the tempo and mode of diversification of Magnoliidae remain poorly known. Using a molecular data set of 12 markers and 220 species (representing >75% of genera in Magnoliidae) and six robust, internal fossil age constraints, we estimate divergence times and significant shifts of diversification across the clade. In addition, we test the sensitivity of magnoliid divergence times to the choice of relaxed clock model and various maximum age constraints for the angiosperms. Results: Compared with previous work, our study tends to push back in time the age of the crown node of Magnoliidae (178.78-126.82 million years, Myr), and of the four orders, Canellales (143.18-125.90 Myr), Piperales (158.11-88.15 Myr), Laurales (165.62-112.05 Myr), and Magnoliales (164.09-114.75 Myr). Although families vary in crown ages, Magnoliidae appear to have diversified into most extant families by the end of the Cretaceous. The strongly imbalanced distribution of extant diversity within Magnoliidae appears to be best explained by models of diversification with 6 to 13 shifts in net diversification rates. Significant increases are inferred within Piperaceae and Annonaceae, while the low species richness of Calycanthaceae, Degeneriaceae, and Himantandraceae appears to be the result of decreases in both speciation and extinction rates.

General Characters, with Floral formula and floral diagram citing Examples and Economic importance of following: (classification as per B&H) Dicotyledonae : Polypetlae: Annonaceae, Brassicaceae, Meliaceae, Leguminosae, Myrtaceae. Gamopetalae : Rubiaceae, Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Apetalae: Euphorbiaceae, and Monocotyledonae : Liliacaeae. Biological concept of species. A biological species is a group of individuals that can breed together. However, they cannot breed with other groups. In other words, the group is reproductively isolated from other groups. "The words 'reproductively isolated' are the key words of the biological species definition". Many systems of classification of angiosperms have been proposed by many taxonomists from time to time. It can be divided into three broad categories: i. Artificial Systems based on superficial features. ii. Natural systems based on form relationships. iii. Phylogenetic systems based on evolutionary and genetic relationships. Natural Systems: In these systems the organisms are classified on the basis of their natural affinities (i.e. the basic similarities in the morphology) rather than on a single character for determining the affinities. Bentham and Hooker’s Classification:The most important and the last of the natural systems of classification of seed plants was proposed by two British taxonomists George Bentham (1800-1884), a self trained botanist, and Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817-1911), the first director of the Royal Botanical Garden, Kew (England). They recorded precise description of most of the plants known at that time. Their monumental work which took about quarter of a century for completion was described in three volumes of Genera Plantarum, published in Latin during July 1862 and April 1883.

Traditional view was that 16 angiosperm carpels were derived from structures similar to macrosporophylls of 17 pteridosperms or Bennettitales, which bear ovules on the surfaces of foliar organs. In 18 contrast, other views indicate that carpels are originated from the foliar appendage 19 enclosing the ovule-bearing axis. One of the key differences between these two 20 conflicting ideas lies in whether the ovular axis is involved in the evolution of carpel.

(2006): A synopsis of Annonaceae in Indian subcontinent: Its distribution and endemism. – Thaiszia – J. Bot. 16: 63-85. – ISSN 1210-0420. Abstract: The members of the family Annonaceae are distributed throughout the tropical evergreen forests of America, Asia to Australia mainly centered in old World tropics. In Indian subcontinent (comprising of Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, SriLanka and India), it is well represented (74.50% of the total taxa). The present paper deals with distribution, phytoendemism, possible fossil ancestry, potential survival threat on existing taxa etc. of Annonaceae in Indian subcontinent. Keywords: Annonaceae, endemism, Indian subcontinent. Introduction Annonaceae, with the members of trees, shrubs or climbers ca.122 genera and ca.1200 species (AUBREVILLE 1960, BAKKER 1999, HUTCHINSON 1923, KOEK NORMAN , WESTRA & MASS 1990, KESSLER 1989, 1990, MITRA 1974, 1993) distributed throughout the tropical evergreen forests of America, Asia to Australia mainly concentrated in old World tropics. The economically potential (due to its demand as timber throughout the world, horticultural crave for its fruits) members of Annonaceae should be considered as genetic resource (VAN SETTEN 1987); naturally deserve conservation. The lack of phyto-geographical account of the family members of this family in Indian subcontinent as well as part of South Asia, which is essential data for adopting proper conservation strategies, leads to undertake the present studies.

Comprehension of the causes and mechanisms underpinning radiations and detection of their frequency will contribute greatly to the understanding of the evolutionary origin of biodiversity and its ecological structure. A dated and well-resolved phylogenetic tree of Annonaceae was used to study diversification patterns in the family in order to identify factors that drive speciation and the evolution of morphological (key) characters. It was found that, except for Goniothalamus, the largest genera in the family are not the result of radiations. Furthermore, the difference in species numbers between subfamilies Annonoideae (former long branch clade) and Malmeoideae (former short branch clade) cannot be attributed to significant differences in the diversification rate. Most of the speciation in Annonaceae is not distinguishable from a random branching process (i.e.
