P. Worth1)* Current distribution and climatic range of the Japanese endemic conifer Thuja standishii (Cupressaceae) Abstract James R. P. Worth ……………………………………………………275 Thuja standishii (Gordon) Carr. (Cupressaceae) is an important endemic conifer of Japan but unlike other endemic Cupressaceae species there is a general lack of information about the species including its current distribution, ecology and conservation status. This study investigated the geographic range of the species and evaluated the number of recent Temporal and regional variations of drought damage at private planted forests in population extinctions using available published and online resources along with field based investigations. Additionally, the species potential range was investigated using species distribution modelling. Thuja standishii was found to have Japan based on 36-year record of statistical data a wide range in Japan from 40.67˚ N in northern Honshu to 33.49˚ N in Shikoku occurring across a variety of habitats Natsuko YOSHIFUJI, Satoru SUZUKI and Koji TAMAI ……………289 from warm temperate evergreen forest to near the alpine zone. The core of its range is in central Japan including in both high and low snow-fall mountain regions. On the other hand, the species is extremely rare in western Japan being confirmed at only eight locations including five sites in Chugoku and three in Shikoku.

Gorakhpur University, Gorakhpur , 273009, India Abstract Thuja orientalis (Commonly- Morpankhi, Family- Cupressaceae) is an evergreen, monoecious trees or shrubs used in various forms of traditional medicines and homeopathy in various ways. In traditional practices Thuja is used for treatment of bronchial catarrh, enuresis, cystitis, psoriasis, uterine carcinomas, amenorrhea and rheumatism. Recent re- searches in different parts of the world have shown that T. orientalis and its active component thujone have the great poten- tial against a various health problems. T. orientalis preparations can be efficiently used against microbial/worm infection. It can be used as antioxidant, anticancer and anti-inflammatory agent. Instead of these effects, it can be also used as insecti- cidal, molluscicidal and nematicidal activity against different pests. The present review highlights the some important bio- logical properties of T. orientalis.

    Worth et al. BMC Res Notes (2019) 12:694 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13104-019-4716-z BMC Research Notes RESEARCH NOTE Open Access Development of microsatellite markers for the Japanese endemic conifer Thuja standishii and transfer to other East Asian species James R. P. Worth1*, K. S. Chang2, Y.‑H. Ha2 and Aili Qin3 Abstract Objective: Design polymorphic microsatellite loci that will be useful for studies of the genetic diversity, gene‑fow and reproduction in the Japanese endemic conifer Thuja standishii and test the transferability of these loci to the two other East Asian species, T. sutchuenensis and T. koraiensis. Results: Fifteen loci were developed which displayed 3 to 21 alleles per locus (average 9.2) among 97 samples from three populations of T. standishii. Observed heterozygosity for all samples varied between= 0.33 and 0.75 (aver‑ age 0.54) while expected heterozygosity values were higher with an average over the 15 loci of 0.62 (0.37–0.91). Low =multi‑locus probability of identity values (< 0.00002) indicate that these markers will be efective for identifying individuals derived from clonal reproduction. All 15 loci amplifed in 13 samples of T. sutchuenensis, the sister spe‑ cies of T. standishii, with 1 to 11 alleles per locus (average 4.33) while 13 loci amplifed in four samples of the more distantly related T. koraiensis with 1 to 5 alleles per locus (average= 2.15). = Keywords: China, Conifer, Japanese arbor‑vitae, Korea, Nuclear microsatellites, Thuja Introduction limit of its elevational range [15].

  • CUPRESSACEAE.Publish
    Flora of China 4: 62–77. 1999. 1 CUPRESSACEAE 柏科 bai ke Fu Liguo (傅立国 Fu Li-kuo)1, Yu Yongfu (于永福)2; Aljos Farjon3 Trees or shrubs evergreen, monoecious or dioecious. Leaves decussate or in whorls of 3, scalelike and then often dimorphic with flattened facial leaves and keeled lateral leaves, or needlelike particularly in juvenile plants, often with an abaxial resin gland. Pollen cones terminal or axillary, solitary, maturing and shed annually; microsporophylls 6–16, decussate or whorled, each bearing (2 or)3–6(–9) pollen sacs; pollen wingless. Seed cones usually terminal, solitary, globose, ovoid, or oblong, dehiscent or indehiscent when mature in 1st or 2nd(or 3rd) year; cone scales developing after ovules originate in bract axils; bracts almost completely enveloped by cone scales, free only at apex; ovules 1–numerous per bract axil, erect; cone scales of mature cones 3–16, flat or peltate, woody, ± leathery, or succulent, 1–20-seeded. Seeds winged or not; wings derived from seed coat. Cotyledons usually 2, rarely 3–6. Germination epigeal. Nineteen genera and ca. 125 species: worldwide; eight genera (one introduced) and 46 species (16 endemic, 13 introduced) in China. In this account, the Cupressaceae is treated sensu stricto, i.e., excluding those taxa that are traditionally classified in Taxodiaceae. A merger of these two families is substantially supported by both morphological and molecular evidence (the Cupressaceae forms a clearcut monophyletic group derived from within the Taxodiaceae). No consistent characters separate them, while the homology of the reproductive organs, so fundamentally different from other conifer families, appears to unite them phylogenetically.

The small Cupressaceae genus Thuja, comprising ve species, exhibits a typical disjunct distribution in East Asia and North America. Owing to the obscure relationships, the biogeographical history of the genus remains controversial. Here, complete plastomes were employed to investigate the plastome evolution, phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic history of Thuja. Results: All plastomes of Thuja share the same gene contents arranged in the same order. The loss of an IR was evident in all Thuja plastomes, and the B-arrangement as previously recognized was detected. Phylogenomic analyses resolved two sister pairs, T. standishii-T. koraiensis and T. occidentalis-T. sutchuenensis, with T. plicata sister to T. occidentails-T. sutchuenensis. Molecular dating and biogeographic result suggest the diversication of Thuja occurred in the Middle Miocene, and the ancestral area of extant species was located in northern East Asia.

The Introduction genome structures, gene order, and GC content are similar to other typical gymnosperm cp genomes.

In addition, positive selection signals were detected 2016). With the rapid development of high-throughput in seven genes with high Ka/Ks ratios. The reconstructed sequencing technologies, an increasing number of phylogeny based on locally collinear blocks of cp genomes sequenced cp genomes can easily be acquired from online among 21 gymnosperms species is similar to previous databases such as the National Center for Biotechnology inferences.
