柏科的分类和分布:亚科、族和属

柏科Cupressaceae和杉科Taxcdiaceae有许多相似之处,近年来不少分类学家主张把两科合并成 广义的柏科。原杉科中的金松属Sciadopitys与两科其他屑的差异较大,被提升为单种科Sciadopity- aceae。本文根据球果可育种鳞的位置把柏科(狭义)分为2亚科,即上部种鳞不可育的柏木亚科Cupres- soideae和上部种鳞可育的澳洲柏亚科Callitroideae。综合其他形态学和解剖学证据,柏木亚科又分4族,即柏木族Cupresseae(包括：柏木属Cupressus、杂交柏属X Cupressocyparis、扁柏屑Chamaecyparis和福建柏属Fokeinia)、侧柏族Thujopsideae(包括：崖柏属Thuja、罗汉柏属Thujopsis和侧柏属laty-ladus)、圆柏族Junlpereae(包括：圆柏属Junzperus和海参威柏属Microbiota)以及香漆柏族Tetraclineae(包括：翠柏属Calt*edrus和香漆柏属Tetraclinis)。澳洲柏亚科又分3族,即澳洲柏族Actinostrobeae(包括：西澳柏属Actinostrobus、澳洲柏属Callitris、智利柏属Fitzroya和杉叶柏属Neocallitropsis)、南非柏族Widdringtoneae(包括：白智利柏属Pilgerodendron、塔斯曼柏属Diselma和南非柏属Widdringtonia)以及甜柏族Libocedreae(包括：甜柏属Libocedrus、巴布亚柏屑Papuacedrus和南美柏属Austrocedrus)。柏科21个属的地理分布可划分为5种类型,即：(1)杂交柏属系英国选出的属间杂交类型;(2)分布非洲、欧洲、亚洲和北美洲的属,有柏木属和圆柏属2个属;(3)东亚—北美洲际间断分布的属,有扁柏属、崖柏属和翠柏属3个属;(4)分布区较窄的属,包括西澳柏属,、澳洲柏属、甜柏屑、巴布亚柏属、南非柏属5个属;(5)单种屑,包括福建柏属、海参威柏属、罗汉柏属、侧柏属、香漆柏属、杉叶柏属、塔斯曼柏属、智利柏屑、南美柏属和白智利柏属等10个属。该科属的3个地理分布中心是：东亚(9属)、北美西南部(5属)、澳大利亚及其东部附近群岛(6属)。此外,地中海沿岸分布3属,智利南部和阿根廷分布3属。

中国东部白垩纪8种新的松柏类化石及其分类位置和演化关系

本文记述了我国东部白垩纪8种新的松柏类化石,它们分别属于短叶杉、缝鞘杉(新属)、袖套杉和节柏4个属,其中袖套杉属包括袖套杉和长岭杉(新亚属)二亚属。本文对这些化石的形态特征和表皮构造进行了详细的研究,研究结果说明它们彼此有着系统演化上的联系,应属于同一个自然类群,并提出它们的分类位置应属于伏脂杉科的希默杉亚科的新意见。     

杉科、柏科的系统发生关系研究进展

杉科、柏科是松柏类裸子植物中的重要类群,其系统分类研究一直是裸子植物的研究热点之一.但是杉科与柏科之间及其内部各属之间的系统发生关系却一直存在争议.一般认为杉科、柏科单独成科.近年来的分子系统学及分支系统学研究结果证实:除了金松属以外,杉科和柏科为一单系群,应合并为一个科Cupres-saceae sensu　lato（广义柏科）,其主要分支类群的系统发生关系也已经基本确立,而金松属则单独成立金松科.     

杉科的染色体资料及在系统演化研究中的作用

杉科共由10属(包括金松属)、20种(变种)组成。本文整理了19种(占95％,隶10属)植物的染色体数目和16种(占80％,隶9属)的核型资料,核型的模式图如图1所示。通过对这些细胞学资料的分析,笔者支持2n=20、x=10的金松属从杉科(2n=22、x=11)分立成金松科。根据其他各属间的亲缘关系,本作者认为可以把它们分隶于5个亚科:Ⅰ.柳杉亚科:Cryptomerioideae(Cryptomeria);Ⅱ.落羽杉亚科Taxodioideae(Glyptostroous,Taxodium);Ⅲ.红杉亚科Sequoideae(Metasequoia,Sequoiadendron,Sequoia);Ⅳ.杉木亚科Cunninghamioideae(Cunninghamia,还可能有:Athrotaxis);Ⅴ.台湾杉亚科Taiwainoideae(Taiwania)。这些亚科和属的进化水平依序渐增,它们分别位于进化路线A(亚科Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅴ)和进化路线L(亚科Ⅲ、Ⅳ)上。这些结果是前人的演化系统所没有涉及的,表明了染色体资料在杉科的系统演化研究中起着重要的作用。     

基于28S rDNA C1-D2区的鳞盘虫科单殖吸虫系统学初步研究

首次利用核糖体28S rDNA C1-D2区序列对鳞盘虫科开展初步的系统学分析,探讨鳞盘虫科各亚科是否成立及其相互关系,并考察鳞盘虫属的单系性问题.结果表明:1)寄生在黄姑鱼Nibea albiflora上的Sinodiplectanotrema属虫种与鳞盘虫科虫种表现出较近的亲缘关系,因虫种后吸器不具鳞盘,故应纳入鳞盘虫科4亚科之一的Murraytrematoidinae亚科;2)本研究不支持Murraytrematoidinae亚科的单系性,并支持Doumingous(2004)废除Murraytrematoidinae亚科并将其中的Lobotrema和Murraytrema二属归入Diplectaninae亚科这一做法;3)对于Doumingous(2004)所提议的新Diplectaninae亚科是否为单系群需进一步探讨;4)本研究支持Lamellodiscinae亚科的单系性;5)7种鳞盘虫属虫种的分析结果显示鳞盘虫属具有明显的非单系性.今后需要将形态学分析和分子系统学分析结合起来,通过分析更多的虫种,才有可能理解鳞盘虫属及鳞盘虫科其它种类的适应辐射问题.     

杉科植物的系统发育分析

本文以形态学为依据,参考其他学科的研究成果,用分支分类方法并结合表征分类方法探讨了杉科植物的系统演化关系,提出了新的分类系统。在分支分类中,金松科被选作外类群。主要根据外类群比较原则、化石原则和一般的演化规律,确定了性状的祖征和衍征,采用最大同步法、综合分析法、演化极端结合法及最小平行进化法共四种方法进行分支分析,选择最简约的分支图作为本文讨论基础。在表征分类中,选取59个性状,利用距离系数和类平均法,对金松属和杉科各属进行了聚类运算,得出表征图。综合两种分析结果,主要结论如下:(1)属间关系:柳杉属是现存杉科植物中最原始的类群。水松属和落羽杉属关系密切,二者与柳杉属近缘。巨杉属和北美红杉属关系密切,是中级进化水平的类群。水杉属与巨杉属和北美红杉属的亲缘关系相对较近。杉木属、密叶杉属和台湾杉属关系密切,是杉科植物中的高级进化类群,其中又以台湾杉属演化水平最高。(2)系统排列:支持金松科的成立,将杉科分成5族,即柳杉族(仅含柳杉属)、落羽杉族(含水松属、落羽杉属)、北美红杉族(含巨杉属、北美红杉属)、水杉族(仅含水杉属)和杉木族(含杉木属、密叶杉属及台湾杉属)。     

柽柳科系统学研究中一些问题探讨

综合多方面研究结果,对柽柳科系统学研究中的一些问题,包括科的系统位置、属的划分及分化进行了探讨,认为:柽柳科和瓣鳞花科(Frankenaceae)构成姊妹类群,同属于石竹目或石竹亚纲;基于形态和分子证据,认为红砂属归入琵琶柴属、山柽柳属独立成属更为合理,但山柽柳属是否为杂交属尚需进一步研究。柽柳科包括红砂族(仅包括琵琶柴属)和柽柳族(包括柽柳属、山柽柳属、水柏枝属),柽柳属联结红砂族和柽柳族。     

鸭嘴兽和袋鼠

一.种类和分布鸭嘴兽,目前存在的只有一种(Ornithor-hynchus anatinus),产于澳洲的东南部和塔斯马尼亚岛,它自成一科。袋鼠也分布于澳洲、塔斯马尼亚、新伊里安(新几内亚)等处地方。所谓袋鼠,可以分为广义的和狭义的两种说法,广义地说,可包括袋鼠科全体(16个属约60种)动物而言;狭义地说,应只指真正的袋鼠而言。真正的袋鼠包括在袋鼠亚科(Macropodi-     

侧柏亚科三种植物的核型及其细胞分类学研究

分析了北美乔柏、北美香柏和西方翠柏的核型,它们的核型公式分别为Ｋ（２ｎ）＝２２＝１６ｍ＝１６ｓｍ（２ＳＡＴ）,２０ｍ（２ＳＡＴ）＋２ｓｍ和２０ｍ（２ＳＡＴ）＋２ｓｍ。北美乔柏的核型为首次报道。经对侧伯亚科１０个属（２２种）的核型的比较分析,似见南半球５属和侧柏属及Ｔｅｔｒａｃｌｉｎｉｓ最为原始,罗汉柏属和崖柏属最进化,翠柏属居中。本文还讨论了翠柏属、侧柏属及南半球属的分类位置。     

Analysis of shoot apical organization in six species of the Cupressaceae based on chimeric behavior

Six species of the Cupressaceae, the variegated Leyland cypress (Cupressocyparis leylandii 'Silver Dust'), savin (Juniperus sabina variegata Laws), davurian juniper (Juniperus davurica 'expansa variegata'), California incense cedar (Calocedrus decurrens 'Aureovariegata'), the American arbor vitae (Thuja occidentalis 'lutae zebrina' Kent), and the sawara false cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera 'nana aureovariegata') were examined for the behavior of albino-green shoot chimeras. The fate of the variegations in these six plants is the same in two important respects. First, the majority (89%) of sprays with an original sector become completely white. Second, sectorial branch sprays of the original sectorial sprays become either completely green or white in a 1?:?1 ratio. Based on the first finding it is concluded that there is one rather than the two to four apical initials in the shoot apex, as generally postulated. This single apical initial, actually an apical cell lineage, residing in the tunica layer can both form the leaf epidermis and by rare periclinal divisions form sectorial chimeras. The second finding is that there is no selection advantage of either type, a feature also postulated by others.     

从木材解剖特征初拟针叶树分类系统

<正> 针叶树(Conifers)包括银杏纲和松杉纲的树种。根据《中国植物志》第七卷记载,现代裸子植物的种类分属于4纲9目12科71属约800种,我国产4纲8目11科41属236种,栽培1科7属51种。从国产针叶树材的解剖特征观察,银杏纲木材构造简单,仅具管胞、含晶细胞和射线细胞。管胞排列不整齐,射线薄壁细胞垂直壁无节状加厚,四隅无凹痕,轴向薄壁细胞缺,射线仅单例,所以是针叶村最原始的一个纲,应排列在松杉纲之前。     

Relationships within Cupressaceae sensu lato: a combined morphological and molecular approach

Parsimony analysis of matK and rbcL sequence data, together with a nonmolecular database, yielded a well-resolved phylogeny of Cupressaceae sensu lato. Monophyly of Cupressaceae sensu stricto is well supported, and separate northern and southern hemisphere subclades are resolved, with Tetraclinis within the northern subclade; there is no support for any of the tribes sensu Li. Taxodiaceae comprise five separate lineages. Chamaecyparis nootkatensis falls within Cupressus, clustering with a robust clade of New World species. Libocedrus Florin is paraphyletic and should incorporate Pilgerodendron. Evolution of several characters of wood and leaf anatomy and chemistry is discussed in light of this estimate of the phylogeny; numerous parallelisms are apparent. A new infrafamilial classification is proposed in which seven subfamilies are recognized: Callitroideae Saxton, Athrotaxidoideae Quinn, Cunninghamioideae (Sieb. & Zucc.) Quinn, Cupressoideae Rich. ex Sweet, Sequoioideae (Luerss.) Quinn, Taiwanioideae (Hayata) Quinn, Taxodioideae Endl. ex K. Koch. The rbcL sequence for Taxodium distichum is corrected, and the implications for a previously published estimate of the minimum rate of divergence of the gene since the Miocene are highlighted.     

Phylogeny and Biogeography of Thuja L. (Cupressaceae), an Eastern Asian and North American Disjunct Genus

In order to develop better insights into biogeographic patterns of eastern Asian and North American disjunct plant genera, sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (nr DNA ITS) region were used to estimate interspecific relationships of Thuja L. (Cupressaceae) and infer its biogeography based on the phylogeny. According to the phylogenetic analysis, two clades were recognized. The first clade included Thuja plicata D. Don (western North America) and T. koraiensis Nakai (northeastern Asia), and the second one contained T. occidentalis (Gord.) Carr. (Japan). The ancestral area of Thuja was inferred to be eastern Asia, and two dispersal events were responsible for the modern distribution of Thuja in North America. Both the North Atlantic land bridge and Bering land bridge were possible routes for the migration of ancestral populations to North America.     

Papuacedrus (Cupressaceae) in Eocene Patagonia: A new fossil link to Australasian rainforests

The 51.9 Ma Laguna del Hunco (LH) and 47.5 Ma Río Pichileufú (RP) floras from Patagonia, Argentina are unusually rich, angiosperm-dominated assemblages with living relatives in the low-latitude West Pacific, neotropics, and temperate southern latitudes. The diverse gymnosperms in these floras are important for Gondwanan biogeographic history and paleoclimatic interpretations. "Libocedrus" prechilensis Berry 1938 (Cupressaceae), previously known only from the holotype (RP), a vegetative branch, is revised here based on new material from both localities, including a seed cone attached to a shoot with cuticle (LH). Characters of these fossils are diagnostic of monotypic Papuacedrus (highlands of New Guinea and Moluccas). Living P. papuana is most abundant in cloud forests receiving up to 4 m rainfall annually, whereas Austrocedrus (Libocedrus) chilensis, the basis of comparison when the fossil species was named, inhabits dry, cold steppe margins to mediterranean climates in southern South America. We establish Papuacedrus prechilensis comb. nov., which simultaneously invalidates a southern South American connection for the fossil floras and reveals a link to West Pacific montane rainforests. Combined evidence indicates a biome similar to extant subtropical, or tropical montane, rainforests that persisted for at least 4.4 Myr, linking elevated floral richness to abundant rainfall.     

The circumscription and phylogenetic relationships of Callitropsis and the newly described genus Xanthocyparis (Cupressaceae)

A new species of conifer was recently discovered in northern Vietnam. In a preliminary phylogenetic analysis of morphological data a possible sister species, Chamaecyparis nootkatensis (D. Don) Spach, was identified; however, because of the presumed phylogenetic remoteness of these two species to the remainder of the Cupressaceae, a new genus-Xanthocyparis-was described to accommodate both species. Here an analysis of ITS (nrDNA), matK, and rbcL sequence data in combination with 58 informative morphological characters was aimed at testing the monophyly of the remainder of Chamaecyparis and evaluating the placement and monophyly of Xanthocyparis. Chamaecyparis, minus C. nootkatensis, was resolved as a monophyletic group, remote from Cupressus and Xanthocyparis. Cupressus, Juniperus, and Xanthocyparis formed a very highly supported monophyletic group. However, Cupressus was not monophyletic. Instead the Old World species sampled were resolved sister to a clade containing a monophyletic Juniperus, a monophyletic Xanthocyparis, and a clade of New World Cupressus species. If both species of Xanthocyparis are to be treated as members of the same genus, then due to the principal of priority they will have to be recognized in the genus Callitropsis. Research is continuing to resolve the status of New World and Old World Cupressus.     

Phylogeny of taxaceae and cephalotaxaceae genera inferred from chloroplast matK gene and nuclear rDNA ITS region

Phylogeny of the Taxaceae genera and the monotypic family Cephalotaxaceae has been extraordinarily controversial. In this paper chloroplast matK genes and nuclear ITS sequences were determined for all six genera of the two families and representatives of other conifer families. Analysis using either the nonsynonymous sites or the deduced amino acid sequences of matK genes strongly indicates that taxad genera and Cephalotaxaceae are monophyletic, with the Taxodiaceae/Cupressaceae clade as their sister group. Cephalotaxus is basal to the taxad genera, among which two clades, Torreya/Amentotaxus and Taxus/Pseudotaxus/Austrotaxus, are resolved. They correspond to Janchen's two tribes, Torreyeae and Taxeae. In Taxeae, Austrotaxus is the first to branch off. Analyses of the nuclear ITS sequence data corroborated the topology of the matK gene tree. These results refute the views that Cephalotaxaceae has no alliance with Taxaceae and that Austrotaxus and Amentotaxus should be excluded from the Taxaceae. We estimated the divergence time between the Taxodiaceae/Cupressaceae and the Cephalotaxaceae/Taxaceae clades to be 192-230 Myr ago and the divergence time between taxads and Cephalotaxus to be 149-179 Myr ago. Soon after the latter divergence event, within 6-8 Myr, the two taxad tribes originated. In conclusion, our data do not support Florin's claim that taxads could be traced to Devonian psilophytes (359-395 Myr ago).     

Early Oligocene Callitris and Fitzroya (Cupressaceae) from Tasmania

This paper documents Early Oligocene fossilized foliage and ovulate cones from Lea River, Tasmania and identifies them as belonging to two extant southern hemisphere Cupressaceae genera, Callitris and Fitzroya. Most importantly, it sheds some light on evolutionary trends within Callitris, a genus with numerous extant Australian species and two extant New Caledonian species. Callitris has a very poor fossil record and, because of the present absence of a molecular data set that includes all species, its phylogeny remains somewhat ambiguous. Although Fitzroya foliage has previously been described from a number of Tasmanian sites, this is the first recording of fertile material. The ovulate cones of the Callitris and Fitzroya macrofossils are characterized by bract-scale complexes in two whorls of three and are subtended by scale-like leaves in whorls of three. The fossilized foliage specimens consist of scale-like leaves in whorls of three. These morphological characteristics are only exhibited by three extant southern hemisphere cupressaceous genera, Callitris, Actinostrobus, and Fitzroya. The assignment of the fossils to extinct Callitris and Fitzroya species is made by comparisons with species from these three extant genera. Although much of the Lea River flora are wet rainforest taxa, the Callitris fossils have characteristics of both wet- and dry-adapted extant species.
