基于trnL-F序列探讨菵草植物的系统位置

以淡竹为外类群,用PAUP4.0b10软件采用最大简约法对菵草及其近缘植物的叶绿体trnL-F序列进行了系统发育分析,结果表明:(1)菵草和看麦娘聚成一小支,自展支持率为91%,说明两者之间亲缘关系较近。(2)菵草、看麦娘以及梯牧草与早熟禾族的早熟禾属、碱茅、硬草等聚合为一分支,得到了较高的支持率,而燕麦族的剪股颖属、拂子茅属、野青茅和棒头草组成另一分支,自展支持率为99%,分子证据支持菵草、看麦娘、梯牧草并入早熟禾族。因此,早熟禾族和燕麦族的范围需要重新界定。     

睡莲科叶比较解剖

本文报道了睡莲科6个种比较解剖学的研究结果。莼菜的叶柄具一对维管束,其它5个种为 有限的、星散排列维管束,它们与单子叶植物相似;叶柄基本组织中除萍蓬草无气道外,其它种均有。叶为两面叶页,毛茛型气孔局限分布于叶腹面,但莲叶背面亦发育有少量气孔。莲的气孔在发育时属单唇型,成熟时则呈毛茛型。排水器、厚壁异细胞只见于莲。腺毛及吸水器除莲外,供研究的其它种在叶背面均存在。除莼菜及莲外,其它种都有星状石细胞。 根据本文的观察结果,我们认为莼菜属是睡莲科中较简化的属,它和Cabomba属有密切的亲缘关系,它们可独立成莼菜科(Cabombaceae),包括于睡莲目内。睡莲属、 萍蓬草属、芡属和王莲属(Victoria)彼此亲缘关系密切,可留于睡莲科。莲属具独特的形态,与睡莲科的其它属亲缘关系不甚密切,因此,不但可分立为莲科,而且可独立成莲目。     

基于ITS序列分析仲彬草属植物的亲缘关系

以旱雀麦为外类群,用PAUP 4.0b10软件并采用最大简约法和邻接法对11份仲彬草属物种的ITS区序列进行系统发育分析,两种方法得到的系统发育树基本一致。结果表明:(1)整个ITS序列长度变异范围为596~601 bp;G C含量在所有ITS中的变化范围为61.20%~62.44%;序列间的遗传分化距离为0.003~0.033,平均值为0.015;(2)疏花仲彬草和塔克拉干仲彬草2个物种聚为一支,位于系统发育树的底部,在最大简约法和邻接法分析中分别获得78%和82%的自展支持率,它们之间的亲缘关系较近;(3)形态相似、地理分布一致的物种有聚在一起的倾向,表现出较近的亲缘关系;(4)ITS区序列分析的结果与细胞学、形态学的研究结果基本一致,因此ITS区序列分析能反映仲彬草属种间关系。     

基于5个基因片段的野胡麻属系统位置研究

对单种属野胡麻属(原隶属于广义玄参科)及其可能近缘类群广泛取样,选择合适外类群,通过对4个叶绿体基因联合数据(trnL-F、rps16、rbcL、rps2)、核基因ITS片段、叶绿体基因与核基因ITS片段联合数据,进行最大简约法和贝叶斯法分析,探讨野胡麻属在科级系统位置及其与近缘类群系统发育关系。结果表明,所有系统树都支持野胡麻属先和肉果草属构成姐妹群关系,叶绿体基因联合系统树支持率分别为97%[Bootstrap(BS)]和100%[Posterior probability(PP)];ITS系统树支持率分别为99%(BS)和100%(PP);叶绿体基因和ITS联合系统树支持率均为100%(BS和PP)。野胡麻属、肉果草属与通泉草属一起构成一单系群,叶绿体基因联合系统树、ITS系统树、叶绿体基因和ITS联合系统树的支持率均为100%(BS和PP)。形态学证据也支持野胡麻属、肉果草属和通泉草属这3个属的近缘关系。本研究结果支持单种属野胡麻属隶属于透骨草科的通泉草亚科,与肉果草属亲缘关系最近,这两个属进而与通泉草属近缘,可能隶属于通泉草属内,与岩白翠亲缘关系较近,也可能与通泉草属互为姐妹群关系。     

基于trnL—F序列探讨茼草植物的系统位置

以淡竹为外类群,用PAUP4．0b10软件采用最大简约法对蔺草及其近缘植物的叶绿体trnL-F序列进行了系统发育分析,结果表明：（1）蔺草和看麦娘聚成一小支,自展支持率为91％,说明两者之间亲缘关系较近。（2）蔺草、看麦娘以及梯牧草与早熟禾族的早熟禾属、碱茅、硬草等聚合为一分支,得到了较高的支持率,而燕麦族的剪股颖属、拂子茅属、野青茅和棒头草组成另一分支,自展支持率为99％,分子证据支持蔺草、看麦娘、梯牧草并入早熟禾族。因此,早熟禾族和燕麦族的范围需要重新界定。     

基于trnL-F序列推测冰岛蓼属的系统发育

冰岛蓼属的界定一直存在争议,本实验以塔黄为外类群,采用最大简约法对冰岛蓼属及其近缘类群的trnL-F序列进行了系统发育分析,结果表明:(1) 冰岛蓼(Koenigia islandica)和大铜钱叶蓼(Polygonum forrestii)为姊妹群,自展分析的支持率为100%,因此,大铜钱叶蓼应归于冰岛蓼属;(2) 冰岛蓼和分叉蓼组植物聚在一起,自展支持率为99%,说明它们之间有很近的亲缘关系.     

睡莲科三属植物叶的比较解剖学研究

报道了睡莲科的睡莲属、莼菜属和萍蓬草属三属植物叶的比较解剖学特征。结果表明,莼菜属叶柄仅具一个维管束,其余二个属均有数个维管束,且维管束为有限的、星散排列,这一特征与单子叶植物的很相似;叶柄基本组织中,除萍蓬草属无气道外,其它两个属均有气道;在睡莲属和萍蓬草属中存在星状石细胞,而莼菜属中则无此细胞;莼菜属和萍蓬草属具腺毛,睡莲属无腺毛。由于睡莲科此三属植物叶的解剖学特点存在很大的差异,因此认为睡莲科的这三属可能来源于不同的祖先,因此建议将莼菜属和萍蓬草属从睡莲科中分离出来。分别独立为莼菜科和萍蓬草科。     

连香树科及其近缘植物matK序列分析和系统学意义

测定和分析了连香树科(Cercidiphyllaeeae)、交让木科(Daplmiphyllaceac)、金缕梅科(Hamamelidaceae)代表植物的叶绿体marK序列(5′端31bps除外),以木兰属作为外类群,应用邻接法构建分子系统树,结果表明：连香树科与水青树科的亲缘关系较远。连香树科、交让木科和金缕梅科形成了一个自展数据支持率(bootstrap)为100％的单系类群,其中金缕梅科枫香属(Liquidambar)、红花荷属(Rhodoleia)和金缕梅属(Hamamelis)虽构成了一个单系类群,但自展数据支持率仅为68％;连香树科与交让木科构成的单系分支自展数据支持率仅为53％。由于连香树科、交让木科、金缕梅科之间的进化距离相当短,表明这3个科之间亲缘关系密切,内部分支的自展数据支持率不高,表明它们之间准确的亲缘关系有待进一步研究。本研究结果与rbcL、aptB、18S rDNA序列分析结果相似,但自展数据支持率更高,表明marK序列分析可应用于较高等级分类群系统发育关系的研究。     

基于ITS序列探讨杜鹃属的亚属和组间系统关系

首次报道了 15种杜鹃属 (Rhododendron)植物、1种杜香属 (Ledum)植物和Cassiopefastigiata的内转录间隔区(ITS) (包括 5 .8S)序列。加上从GenBank下载的 13种杜鹃属植物和Bajiariaracemosa的ITS序列 ,以C .fastigiata和B .racemosa为外类群 ,用最大简约法对杜鹃属的亚属和组间的系统关系进行了分析。结果表明 :1)杜鹃属是一个单系类群 ,叶状苞亚属为杜鹃属的基部类群 ;2 )杜香属确应归并到杜鹃属中 ,且与有鳞杜鹃亚属有较近的亲缘关系 ;3)有鳞杜鹃亚属和杜香构成一个单系分支 ,该分支是其余无鳞杜鹃花的姐妹群 ;4 )由无鳞杜鹃花组成的一个分支的内部支持率较低 ,其中常绿杜鹃亚属和映山红亚属均为内部支持率很高的单系类群 ,而羊踯躅亚属和马银花亚属均为多系类群 ;5 )在马银花亚属中 ,长蕊杜鹃组和马银花组均分别得到强烈支持 ,马银花组与异蕊杜鹃亚属可能构成姐妹群关系 ,异蕊杜鹃亚属和马银花组组成的一个分支可能与映山红亚属构成姐妹群关系。

Phylogeny of the Nymphaeaceae inferred from

The Nymphaeaceae are one of the most important taxa for understanding the origin and evolution of primitive angiosperms due to its basal position in the cladograms of the angiosperms recently given based both on several gene sequences and on morphological characters, but phylogenetic relationships within the family have not as yet been resolved. The sequences of nrDNA ITS region of 11 species representing seven genera of the Nymphaeaceae and one outgroup, Ceratophyllum demersum, were used to reconstruct the phylogeny of the family using PAUP4.0b4A. Three most parsimonious trees (Length=1125, CI=0.7618 and RI=0.7214) were obtained. In the consensus tree: (1) Nelumbo was basal to the other genera with a bootstrap value of 100% and occupied an isolated position, so it could be separated from the Nymphaeaceae and placed in its own family, Nelumbonaceae, and its own order, Nelumbonales; (2) Nuphar was monophyletic, nested in the basal position of clade II and was strongly supported to be the sister group of the other genera (excluding Nelumbo) of the Nymphaeaceae, suggesting that its traditional inclusion in the Nymphaeaceae should be maintained; (3) Cabomba and Brasenia were sister group and formed a subclade with a bootstrap value of 99%, indicating their close affinity; (4) Nymphaea was strongly supported to be the sister group of a subclade comprising Euryale and Victoria with a bootstrap value of 94%, indicating that they should be placed in the Nymphaeaceae.     

Angiosperm phylogeny based on matK sequence information

Plastid matK gene sequences for 374 genera representing all angiosperm orders and 12 genera of gymnosperms were analyzed using parsimony (MP) and Bayesian inference (BI) approaches. Traditionally, slowly evolving genomic regions have been preferred for deep-level phylogenetic inference in angiosperms. The matK gene evolves approximately three times faster than the widely used plastid genes rbcL and atpB. The MP and BI trees are highly congruent. The robustness of the strict consensus tree supercedes all individual gene analyses and is comparable only to multigene-based phylogenies. Of the 385 nodes resolved, 79% are supported by high jackknife values, averaging 88%. Amborella is sister to the remaining angiosperms, followed by a grade of Nymphaeaceae and Austrobaileyales. Bayesian inference resolves Amborella + Nymphaeaceae as sister to the rest, but with weak (0.42) posterior probability. The MP analysis shows a trichotomy sister to the Austrobaileyales representing eumagnoliids, monocots + Chloranthales, and Ceratophyllum + eudicots. The matK gene produces the highest internal support yet for basal eudicots and, within core eudicots, resolves a crown group comprising Berberidopsidaceae/Aextoxicaceae, Santalales, and Caryophyllales + asterids. Moreover, matK sequences provide good resolution within many angiosperm orders. Combined analyses of matK and other rapidly evolving DNA regions with available multigene data sets have strong potential to enhance resolution and internal support in deep level angiosperm phylogenetics and provide additional insights into angiosperm evolution.     

单子叶植物高级分类阶元系统演化: matK、rbcL和18S rDNA序列的证据

基于两个叶绿体基因（matK和rbcL）和一个核糖体基因（18S rDNA）的序列分析,对代表了基部被子植物和单子叶植物主要谱系分支的86科126属151种被子植物（单子叶植物58科86属101种）进行了系统演化关系分析。研究结果表明由胡椒目Piperales、樟目Laurales、木兰目Magnoliales和林仙目Canellales构成的真木兰类复合群是单子叶植物的姐妹群。单子叶植物的单系性在3个序列联合分析中得到98％的强烈自展支持。联合分析鉴定出9个单子叶植物主要谱系（广义泽泻目Alismatales、薯蓣目Dioscorcales、露兜树目Pandanales、天门冬目Asparagalcs、百合目Liliales、棕榈目Arecales、禾本目Poales、姜目Zingiberales、鸭跖草目Commelinales）和6个其他被子植物主要谱系（睡莲目Nymphaeales、真双子叶植物、木兰目、樟目、胡椒目、林仙目）。在单子叶植物内,菖蒲目Acorales（菖蒲属Acorus）是单子叶植物最早分化的一个谱系,广义泽泻目（包括天南星科Araceae和岩菖蒲科Toficldiaccae）紧随其后分化出来,二者依次和其余单子叶植物类群构成姐妹群关系。无叶莲科Petrosaviaceac紧随广义的泽泻目之后分化出来,无叶莲科和剩余的单子叶植物类群形成姐妹群关系,并得到了较高的支持率。继无叶莲科之后分化的类群形成两个大的分支：一支是由露兜树目和薯蓣目构成,二者形成姐妹群关系：另一支是由天门冬目、百合目和鸭跖草类复合群组成,三者之间的关系在单个序列分析和联合分析中不稳定,需要进一步扩大取样范围来确定。在鸭跖草类复合群分支内,鸭跖草目和姜目的姐妹群关系在3个序列联合分析和2个序列联合分析的严格一致树中均得到强烈的自展支持,获得的支持率均是100％。但是,对于棕榈目和禾本目在鸭跖草类中的系统位置以及它们和鸭跖草目-姜目之间的关系,有待进一步解决。值得注意的是,无叶莲科与其他单子叶植物类群（除菖蒲目和泽泻目外）的系统关系在本文中获得较高的自展支持率,薯蓣目和天门冬目的单系性在序列联合分析中都得到了较好的自展支持,而这些在以往的研究中通常支持率较低。鉴于菖蒲科和无叶莲科独特的系统演化位置,本文支持将其分别独立成菖蒲目和无叶莲目Petrosavialcs的分类学界定。     

Phylogenetic studies on the Thamnocalamus group and its allies (Gramineae: Bambusoideae) based on its sequence data.

Phylogenetic analyses, using the parsimony method and the neighbor-joining method, of 31 species of the Thamnocalamus group and its allies based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences in nuclear ribosomal DNA are presented. Two species from Arundinaria and Acidosasa were used as outgroups. The ITS phylogeny strongly supports the monophyly of the Thamnocalamus group and its allies, which have pachymorph rhizomes and semelauctant synflorescences with three stamens. Within this clade, Chimonocalamus pallens was resolved in the basal position. The Thamnocalamus group, including species placed in Thamnocalamus, Fargesia (Sinarundinaria, Borinda), and Yushania, may be polyphyletic/paraphyletic according to the ITS phylogeny, but internal support was relatively low. All three sampled species of Ampelocalamus were resolved as a monophyletic group and may be related to Drepanostachyum hookerianum. Two taxa of Thamnocalamus and the species Gaoligongshania megalothyrsa were resolved as monophyletic despite their different morphological characters, but again with a low bootstrap support. Within the Fargesia yunnanensis subclade, the sister relationship of Fargesia fungosa and Fargesia edulis was supported. Another subclade, the Fargesia communis clade, was also weakly supported as monophyletic. However, further resolution within the Thamnocalamus group has not been provided by this sequence data. The results indicate that reevaluation of relationships within this group is necessary.     

基于叶绿体TrnL- F序列和联合数据分析木通科的分子系统发育(英文)

基于叶绿体trnL_F序列单独分析以及trnL_F和rbcL序列联合分析重建了木通科的分子系统发育。本研究的系统发育拓扑结构与覃海宁和塔赫他间的族划分系统非常一致。猫儿屎族和串果藤族在系统发育树上位于本科的基部。由分布于南美的勃奎拉藤属和拉氏藤属组成的拉氏藤族得到了trnL_F序列分析 (10 0 % )和联合序列分析 (99% )的很好支持。木通族在两个分析里都得到了 10 0 %的靴带支持率。新建立的长萼木通属在trnL_F树上嵌套在木通属内 ;然而 ,在联合分析的树上 ,它与木通属形成姐妹群并得到很高的支持率。在系统发育上关系密切的 3个属 :牛藤果属、八月瓜属和野木瓜属之间的关系仍未解决。牛藤果与八月瓜在两个分析里都形成姐妹群 ,但支持率低。小花鹰爪枫嵌套在野木瓜属内 ,并与西南野木瓜形成姐妹群。木通族内这 3个属可能都不是单系 ,它们的属间界限和属的界定需要更多的分子和形态数据的进一步研究。     

睡莲科的核型分析及其分类学位置的探讨

本文对睡莲科6属6种代表植物的核型进行了研究,并探讨了它的分类学位置。结果如下：莲2n＝16=9sm+4m+3st;王莲2n＝24=8sm+8m+8T,蓝睡莲2n＝28,可配成14对,染色体小,第l号染色体上有2条随体;萍蓬草2n＝34＝18m+16sm;芡实2n=58,可配成29对,染色体小,第l号染色体有2条随体,莼菜2n＝72,可配成36对,染色体按大小可分成大,中、小三个类别。除莲外,其它5种植物的核型为首次报道。莼菜的体细胞染色体数目2n＝72和国外报道的2n＝80不相一致。莲的染色体以及形态学特征和其它睡莲科分类群显著不同,可将其从睡莲科中独立出来,并成立莲科和莲目。原归属于睡莲科的分类群仍组成睡莲目,并分别置于莼菜科和睡莲科。     

Systematics of Amaryllidaceae based on cladistic analysis of plastid sequence data

Cladistic analyses of plastid DNA sequences rbcL and trnL-F are presented separately and combined for 48 genera of Amaryllidaceae and 29 genera of related asparagalean families. The combined analysis is the most highly resolved of the three and provides good support for the monophyly of Amaryllidaceae and indicates Agapanthaceae as its sister family. Alliaceae are in turn sister to the Amaryllidaceae/Agapanthaceae clade. The origins of the family appear to be western Gondwanaland (Africa), and infrafamilial relationships are resolved along biogeographic lines. Tribe Amaryllideae, primarily South African, is sister to the rest of Amaryllidaceae; this tribe is supported by numerous morphological synapomorphies as well. The remaining two African tribes of the family, Haemantheae and Cyrtantheae, are well supported, but their position relative to the Australasian Calostemmateae and a large clade comprising the Eurasian and American genera, is not yet clear. The Eurasian and American elements of the family are each monophyletic sister clades. Internal resolution of the Eurasian clade only partially supports currently accepted tribal concepts, and few conclusions can be drawn on the relationships of the genera based on these data. A monophyletic Lycorideae (Central and East Asian) is weakly supported. Galanthus and Leucojum (Galantheae pro parte) are supported as sister genera by the bootstrap. The American clade shows a higher degree of internal resolution. Hippeastreae (minus Griffinia and Worsleya) are well supported, and Zephyranthinae are resolved as a distinct subtribe. An Andean clade marked by a chromosome number of 2n = 46 (and derivatives thereof) is resolved with weak support. The plastid DNA phylogenies are discussed in the context of biogeography and character evolution in the family.     

Noncoding sequences from the slowly evolving chloroplast inverted repeat in addition to rbcL data do not support gnetalean affinities of angiosperms

We developed PCR primers against highly conserved regions of the rRNA operon located within the inverted repeat of the chloroplast genome and used these to amplify the region spanning from the 3' terminus of the 23S rRNA gene to the 5' terminus of the 5S rRNA gene. The sequence of this roughly 500-bp region, which includes the 4.5S rRNA gene and two chloroplast intergenic transcribed spacer regions (cpITS2 and cpITS3), was determined from 20 angiosperms, 7 gymnosperms, and 16 ferns (21,700 bp). Sequences for the large subunit of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rbcL) from the same or confamilial genera were analyzed in both separate and combined data sets. Due to the low substitution rate in the inverted repeat region, noncoding sequences in the cpITS region are not saturated with substitutions, in contrast to synonymous sites in rbcL, which are shown to evolve roughly six times faster than noncoding cpITS sequences. Several length polymorphisms with very clear phylogenetic distributions were detected in the data set. Results of phylogenetic analyses provide very strong bootstrap support for monophyly of both spermatophytes and angiosperms. No support for a sister group relationship between Gnetales and angiosperms in either cpITS or rbcL data was found. Rather, weak bootstrap support for monophyly of gymnosperms studied and for a basal position for the aquatic angiosperm Nymphaea among angiosperms studied was observed. Noncoding sequences from the inverted repeat region of chloroplast DNA appear suitable for study of land plant evolution.      

Phylogenetic relationships of the disputed genus Triplostegia based on trnL-F sequences

The phylogenetie relationships of Triplostegia Wall. ex DC., comprising two species of perennial herbs from southeastern Asia, have long been in dispute. This genus was placed in either Dipsacaceae or Valerianaceae or in a family of its own, Triplostegiaceae. In this paper, the chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) trn L-F regions of 21 species in the Dipsacales s. l. (including Valerianaceae, Dipsacaceae, Triplostegia, Morina, Caprifoliaceae s. l. and Adoxaceae) and an outgroup Panax schin-seng Nees. were amplified and sequenced. The phylogenetic relationships among these 22 species were constructed based on trn L-F sequences. The results demonstrated that Valerianaceae, Dipsacaceae, Triplostegia, Morina and four genera from the Caprifoliaceae s. l. form a monophyletic group with a strong support (100% bootstrap). Triplostegia, a sister group to Dipsacaceae, is close enough to be placed in the Dipsacaceae as a subfamily. The traditional Caprifoliaceae s.l. are polyphyletic, and relationships of Morina among the groups within Dipsacales s. l. are uncertain. Key words Triplostegia; Caprifoliaceae s. l.; Morina; Dipsacales s. l.; trnL-F sequences; Sys-tematic position
