基于ITS序列和trnL-F序列探讨小叶锦鸡儿、中间锦鸡儿和柠条锦鸡儿的种间关系

中间锦鸡儿Caragana davazamcii Sancz.的分类处理一直存在争议, 它与小叶锦鸡儿C. microphylla Lam.和柠条锦鸡儿C. korshinskii Kom.的关系尚不清楚。该种被处理为一个独立的种或后两个种的变种。本文利用ITS序列和叶绿体trnL-F序列, 综合形态和地理分布, 探讨了中间锦鸡儿的起源及与另外两个种的种间关系。结果显示, 中间锦鸡儿的trnL-F序列与小叶锦鸡儿完全一致, 而与柠条锦鸡儿有明显差异。中间锦鸡儿的ITS序列高度纯合, 不支持该种可能是杂交起源的假设。相反, 另外两个种的ITS序列均出现多个位点杂合, 克隆后均得到2种不同的序列。中间锦鸡儿的ITS序列与小叶锦鸡儿2种序列中的1种完全一致。该结果表明, 中间锦鸡儿可能作为亲本之一参与了小叶锦鸡儿的杂交起源, 或者基因流是造成这两个种形态相似的主要原因。中间锦鸡儿与柠条锦鸡儿形态上的相似可能是趋同进化的表现。     

小叶、中间和柠条三种锦鸡儿的分布式样及其生态适应

确定了小叶锦鸡儿、中间锦鸡儿和柠条锦鸡儿3种植物的分布式样:小叶锦鸡儿为蒙古高原东部-F松辽平原西部-华北山地分布种,中间锦鸡儿为东戈壁-鄂尔多斯高原-黄土高原北部分布种,柠条锦鸡儿为南阿拉善-西鄂尔多斯分布种。小叶锦鸡儿适应分布于蒙古高原典型草原带和森林草原带以及华北山地落叶阔叶林带,在草原带高平原上可形成灌丛化草原的景观,在草原带的沙地上可形成以小叶锦鸡儿为建群种的沙地灌丛植被;中间锦鸡儿适应分布于蒙古高原的荒漠化草原及草原化荒漠带、鄂尔多斯高原的典型草原和荒漠化草原带的沙地及梁地上、黄土高原北部的黄土丘坡上,常形成以中间锦鸡儿为建群种的沙地灌丛植被;柠条锦鸡儿则适应分布于草原化荒漠和典型荒漠带的固定和半固定沙地上。近缘的3种锦鸡儿的地带性分布从东至西或从北向南形成明显的有规律的地理替代分布格局。     

内蒙古地区锦鸡儿属3种植物叶脉序比较研究

以内蒙古地区锦鸡儿属3种植物小叶锦鸡儿、中间锦鸡儿、柠条锦鸡儿为对象,利用光学显微镜观察了它们的叶脉序特征,并测定相应的数量指标.结果表明,3种锦鸡儿植物叶片在脉序类型、三级脉类型、高级脉类型、盲脉类型及分枝、网眼形态上没有明显的差别;在各级脉粗细、二级脉夹角、三级脉疏密度以及网眼发育等特征上均表现出随地理分布自东向西逐步递增、递减、密集和趋于完善的变化特点,且有交叉重叠现象;在一级脉的粗细、二级脉的分枝、二级间脉的类型、三级脉疏密等特征上,中间锦鸡儿和柠条锦鸡儿差异较小.研究发现,内蒙古地区锦鸡儿属3种植物在多数叶脉序形态特征和一些数量化指标上没有明显的差异,其亲缘关系较为紧密,但中间锦鸡儿和柠条锦鸡儿在种间关系上可能更为接近;3个种自东向西呈现很强的相似性和渐变性分布,表现出地理渐变的趋势.     

Hydraulic architecture of three Caragana species and its relationship with environmental factors in different habitats of the Inner Mongolian Plateau, China

Hydraulic architecture and its relationship with environmental factors were studied in three Caragana species, namely, Caragana microphylla Lam., C. davazamcii Sancz and C. korshinskii Kom, which were found in different habitats of the Inner Mongolian Plateau, China. The improved flushing method was used in situ on one-year-old twigs for comparing the hydraulic efficiency and the regulating abilities of these three species as well as their mechanisms of regulating water transport to cope with variable environments. The relationship between hydraulic architecture and air temperature followed a linear function with negative slope, whereas the relationships between these parameters with atmospheric humidity were positive. Comparing the hydraulic efficiency among the three seasons, a descending order was given as summer>spring>autumn. In the same season, the hydraulic efficiency of C. korshinskii was higher than that of C. davazamcii, which was in turn higher than that of C. microphylla. It can be concluded from the range of Ks and the slope of two linear functions that there were significant differences in the sensitivity of specific conductivity to environmental factors, both among species and among seasons, with a descending order as summer>spring>autumn. In the same season, C. korshinskii was the most sensitive to the changes of environment, and the sensitivity of C. davazamcii was higher than that of C. microphylla. The results also supported the view that the reduction of hydraulic efficiency because of the embolism in xylem could benefit the plants subjected to water deficit by means of limiting water loss.

内蒙古高原不同生境三种锦鸡儿属植物的水力结构特征及其对环境因子的响应

以生长在内蒙古高原不同生境条件下的小叶锦鸡儿、中间锦鸡儿和柠条锦鸡儿为研究对象,通过定点观测1年生枝条水力结构特征在不同季节的日变化,结合气候因子的相关性分析,比较不同环境条件下3种锦鸡儿植物输水效率与调节能力的高低,进一步分析旱生植物如何通过调整水分传输来适应变化着的环境条件。结果表明,在一定范围内,3种供试植物的水力结构参数都与气温呈显著的线性负相关,与大气相对湿度呈线性正相关关系。同种锦鸡儿植物在不同季节的输水效率比较,总的趋势是夏季〉春季〉秋季;比较同一季节不同种锦鸡儿的输水效率,基本上是柠条锦鸡儿〉中间锦鸡儿〉小叶锦鸡儿;在比导率对环境因子的敏感度方面,季节之间的差异是夏季〉春季〉秋季,物种之间是柠条锦鸡儿〉中间锦鸡儿〉小叶锦鸡儿。一方面日变幅的差异可以体现敏感度的不同,另一方面比导率与大气温度、湿度线性回归方程的斜率也可以体现敏感度的相对高低。这些结果证实了栓塞引起的导水率的下降并不都产生负面影响,相反它具有限流节水的积极作用。     

小叶锦鸡儿、中间锦鸡儿和柠条锦鸡儿地理渐变性 Ⅱ.光合特性和水分代谢特性(英文)

研究了不同地区(117.6o ~105.7o E,44.6o ~38.8o N)分布的小叶锦鸡儿(Caragana microphylla Lam.)、中间锦鸡儿(Caragana davazamcii Sancz.)和柠条锦鸡儿(C.korshinskii Kom.)种群的光合特性和水分代谢特性。结果发现:(1)由东向西小叶锦鸡儿、中间锦鸡儿和柠条锦鸡儿净光合速率对光合有效辐射的响应增强;净光合速率达到最大值时所对应的空气湿度依次下降;净光合速率达到最大值时所对应的气温依次增加。光合日进程午前优势逐渐升高,光合速率逐渐升高,光能利用率逐渐升高,蒸腾速率逐渐降低,水分利用效率显著升高,叶含水量逐渐降低,植株逐渐采取低蒸腾、高光合的节水对策。这些生理变化与它们分布区的光、温、湿条件相适应。这是小叶锦鸡儿、中间锦鸡儿和柠条锦鸡儿发生地理替代分布的生物学基础。(2)小叶锦鸡儿、中间锦鸡儿和柠条锦鸡儿光合系统对光合有效辐射、空气湿度和气温的适应都表现出连续性,而且这种连续性与环境的梯度变化相一致。不同种、不同地点光合日进程、日净同化积累值、蒸腾日进程、日蒸腾积累值、水分利用效率以及叶含水量日变化也随经度自东向西呈连续变化。光合特性和水分代谢特性表明小叶锦鸡儿、中间锦鸡儿和柠条锦鸡儿的地理替代分布是连续过渡的,是一个连续地理渐变群。     

Phylogenetic relationships in Elymus (Poaceae: Triticeae) based on the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer and chloroplast trnL-F sequences

To estimate the phylogenetic relationship of polyploid Elymus in Triticeae, nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and chloroplast trnL-F sequences of 45 Elymus accessions containing various genomes were analysed with those of five Pseudoroegneria (St), two Hordeum (H), three Agropyron (P) and two Australopyrum (W) accessions. The ITS sequences revealed a close phylogenetic relationship between the polyploid Elymus and species from the other genera. The ITS and trnL-F trees indicated considerable differentiation of the StY genome species. The trnL-F sequences revealed an especially close relationship of Pseudoroegneria to all Elymus species included. Both the ITS and trnL-F trees suggested multiple origins and recurrent hybridization of Elymus species. The results suggested that: the St, H, P, and W genomes in polyploid Elymus were donated by Pseudoroegneria, Hordeum, Agropyron and Australopyrum, respectively, and the St and Y genomes may have originated from the same ancestor; Pseudoroegneria was the maternal donor of the polyploid Elymus; and some Elymus species showed multiple origin and experienced recurrent hybridization.     

Towards a Phylogeny for Coffea (Rubiaceae): identifying well-supported lineages based on nuclear and plastid DNA sequences

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The phylogenetic relationships between species of Coffea and Psilanthus remain poorly understood, owing to low levels of sequence variation recovered in previous studies, coupled with relatively limited species sampling. In this study, the relationships between Coffea and Psilanthus species are assessed based on substantially increased molecular sequence data and greatly improved species sampling. METHODS: Phylogenetic relationships are assessed using parsimony, with sequence data from four plastid regions [trnL-F intron, trnL-F intergenic spacer (IGS), rpl16 intron and accD-psa1 IGS], and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of nuclear rDNA (ITS 1/5.8S/ITS 2). Supported lineages in Coffea are discussed within the context of geographical correspondence, biogeography, morphology and systematics. KEY RESULTS: Several major lineages with geographical coherence, as identified in previous studies based on smaller data sets, are supported. Other lineages with either geographical or ecological correspondence are recognized for the first time. Coffea subgenus Baracoffea is shown to be monophyletic, but Coffea subgenus Coffea is paraphyletic. Sequence data do not substantiate the monophyly of either Coffea or Psilanthus. Low levels of sequence divergence do not allow detailed resolution of relationships within Coffea, most notably for species of Coffea subgenus Coffea occurring in Madagascar. The origin of C. arabica by recent hybridization between C. canephora and C. eugenioides is supported. Phylogenetic separation resulting from the presence of the Dahomey Gap is inferred based on sequence data from Coffea.

Interspecific Transition Among Caragana microphylla,C. davazamcii and C. korshinskii Along Geographic Gradient. Ⅱ. Characteristics of Photosynthesis and Water Metabolism

The characteristics of photosynthesis and water metabolism of Caragana microphylla Lam., C. davazamcii Sancz. and C. korshinskii Kom. populations in different sites (117.6o-105.7o E, 44.6o-38.8o N) were studied. (1) From the east to the west, the responses of the three species to photosynthetically available radiation (PAR) in net photosynthesis rate increased, the relative humidity of the air which corresponded to the occurrence of maximum photosynthesis rate decreased, and the corresponding air temperature increased. Along the same gradient, the before-noon superiority of the photosynthesis became evident, and the photosynthesis rate and the light use efficiency (LUE ) increased, while the transpiration rate decreased, thus the water use efficiency (WUE ) increased notably, and the leaf water content decreased gradually. From the east to the west, the plants took a water-saving strategy step by step with higher photosynthesis rate and lower transpiration rate. These physiological changes in the plants were adaptable to the conditions of light, temperature and humidity in the habitat of the plants, and might be the biological foundation for the geographical transition among C. microphylla , C. davazamcii and C. korshinskii. (2) The adaptation of photosynthetic system of C. microphylla , C. davazamcii and C. korshinskii to PAR, air humidity and temperature exhibited the interspecific continuity, which was consistent with the environmental gradient. In different species and different sites, the diurnal changes of net photosynthesis rate, the daily cumulative value of net photosynthesis, the diurnal changes of transpiration rate, the daily cumulative value of transpiration, the water use efficiency and the diurnal changes of leaf water content varied with longitudinal descent (from the east to the west). The characteristics of photosynthesis and water metabolism indicated that the geographical transition among C. microphylla , C. davazamcii and C. korshinskii was in gradual change, and these three species formed a geographical cline.     

Molecular phylogeny of Osmanthus(Oleaceae)based on non-coding chloroplast and nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer regions

The phylogenetic relationships of Osmanthus Lour.were investigated using the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer(ITS)regions and non-coding chloroplast regions(psbA-trnH,trnL-F).The two datasets support the conclusion that Osmanthus is polyphyletic.with some species of the subtribe Oleinae nested within Osmanthus.Osmanthus didymopetalus P S.Green is nested within the clade formed by species of section Osmanthus in two trees.Osmanthus attenuatus P.S.Green.O.Funnanensis P.S.Green,and O gracilinervis R.L.Lu of traditional section Osmanthus are clearly divergent from other accessions,and do not form a monophyletic group with other Osmanthus accessions.Osmanthus marginatus Hemsl.is embedded in the clade formed by species of section Osmanthus in the ITS tree.In cpDNA trees all species of section Osmanthus are placed in the large clade and all species of section Leiolea formed a group.The taxonomic incongruence among trees for ITS and cpDNA indicate hybridization.as introgression may have occurred among some species of sections Osmanthus and Leiolea.Phylogeny of Osmanthus is discussed in light of molecular and morphological data,and a revised infrageneric classification with three sections(Leiolea,Siphosmanthu,and Osmanthus)is presented.The section Linocieroides is abandoned and united with section Osmanthus.     

5种苍术属药用植物的trnL-F序列测定及种间遗传关系分析

采用PCR技术对5种苍术属(Atractylodes DC.)药用植物的trnL-F序列进行测定及比较分析。结果表明,扩增获得的序列长886~902 bp,经排序并两端切平后,序列长816 bp,G C含量为34.4%;当空位始终做缺失处理时,产物有5个变异位点。利用trnL-F序列可准确鉴别出朝鲜苍术〔A.koreana(Nakai)Kitam.〕、北苍术〔A. chinensis(DC.)Koidz.〕和白术(A.macrocephalaKoidz.);而茅苍术〔A.lancea(Thunb.)DC.〕与关苍术(A.japonicaKoidz.ex Kitam.)的trnL-F序列则完全一致,相互之间无法区分。采用邻接法和UPGMA法得到的5种苍术属药用植物的分子系统树有一定的差异,表明这5种苍术属药用植物的物种分化不完全,序列进化不一致。     

锦鸡儿属两种植物种子萌发生理研究

对不同种源柠条锦鸡儿、小叶锦鸡儿种子在培养过程中可溶性蛋白质、可溶性糖含量变化及其吸水特性进行分析,以探讨不同种源种子的萌发生理.结果表明:(1)随种子培养时间的延长,各种源柠条锦鸡儿、小叶锦鸡儿种子中可溶性蛋白质、可溶性糖含量呈总体降低趋势,并且0～24 h是种子中可溶性蛋白质、可溶性糖含量降解转化速率较快的时期.(2)各种源柠条锦鸡儿、小叶锦鸡儿种子的相对吸水量随时间变化表现不一,并且柠条锦鸡儿、小叶锦鸡儿的吸水增量有两个明显峰值,第一个峰值均出现在24 h,第二个峰值分别出现在96 h和120 h.(3)各种源柠条锦鸡儿、小叶锦鸡儿的种子活力大小表现为N-5＞X-1＞X2＞N-4＞N1＞N-2＞N-3.     

Interspecific Transition Among Caragana microphylla,C. davazamcii and C. korshinskii Along Geographic Gradient. Ⅰ. Ecological and RAPD Evidence

The former plant population survey has shown that three genetically-related species, Caragana microphylla Lam., C. davazamcii Sancz. and C. korshinskii Kom., form a geographical replacement series in Nei Mongol Plateau. The present study on population distribution, taxonomy, morphology, development and genetic structure demonstrated that the geographical distribution of these three species was successive and in gradual change, thus forming a geographical cline which extended from the east to the west of Nei Mongol Plateau. With an analysis of climate change over time, it was considered that the formation of this geographical cline was a result of plant adaptation to its natural environment.     

Phylogenetic relationships within Korthalsella (Viscaceae) based on nuclear ITS and plastid trnL-F sequence

The nuclear encoded internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and the plastid encoded trnL-F region were sequenced for 25 populations of Korthalsella, a genus of reduced, monoecious, Old World misletoes. The molecular study confirms the hypothesis that branch shape and cladotaxy (the arrangement of branches with respect to their parent axis) are unreliable indicators of relationship in the genus and demonstrates that many of the taxa previously recognized are not monophyletic. Both gene regions identify three major subgroups within the genus and find lower level relationships within these subgroups highly correlated with geographic distance. An analysis based upon 18S and rbcL sequences identifies Ginalloa as the sister group to Korthalsella, which together with the branching order within the genus, indicates that Korthalsella originated in Papuasia and aids in elucidating evolution of the peculiar inflorescence structure. There are problems associated with species delimitation when evolutionary units are more restricted than morphological lineages, and justification is offered for recognizing only morphologically diagnosable monophyletic lineages as species. Varying substitution rates and differing modes of inheritance in ITS and trnL-F result in complementary utility of the two regions for elucidating infrageneric relationships in Korthalsella.     

窄叶鲜卑花(Sibiraea angustata)nrDNA ITS和cpDNA trnL-F序列分子进化特点的分析

应用PCR产物直接测序法分析了窄叶鲜卑花居群间nrDNA(核糖体DNA)ITS序列和cpDNA(叶绿体DNA)trnL-F的碱基差异,并与cpDNAtrnS-G序列和rpl20-rps12序列进行比较,从而初步研究两套植物基因组的变异速率。采用改良的CTAB法从硅胶干燥的窄叶鲜卑花叶片中提取总DNA,并对nrDNA ITS和cpDNAtrnL-F区域进行扩增、纯化、测序。nrDNA ITS序列共有601 bp,有变异位点3处,变异位点百分率为0.05%,(G+C)含量为41.4%。cpDNAtrnL-F序列共有927 bp,有变异位点1处,变异位点百分率0.01%,(G+C)含量为32.6%,两种序列的核苷酸多样性非常低。比较发现,窄叶鲜卑花nrDNA ITS区域较cpDNAtrnS-G序列和rpl20-rps12序列保守,变异速率较慢,比cpDNAtrnL-F序列变异速率稍快。通过对ITS序列单倍型(haplotype)进行分析发现,窄叶鲜卑花现有分布范围经历了居群近期范围扩张,与叶绿体基因组(trnS-G和rpl20-rps12序列)得出的结论一致。因此,窄叶鲜卑花nrDNA ITS序列适合该种的谱系地理学研究。     

基于DNA非编码区序列探讨罗布麻的分类问题

通过测定中国产罗布红麻、大叶白麻和白麻的ITSt、rnL内含子和trnL-F非编码区序列,并与其它相关植物的相应序列比较,探讨“罗布麻”的系统分类。结果显示:罗布红麻、大叶白麻和白麻3种植物的ITS序列完全一致,而与罗布麻属加拿大麻的ITS序列相差较大;在trnL内含子和trnL-F非编码区,大叶白麻和白麻的完全一致,与罗布红麻之间仅有3个位点的变异,而加拿大麻与美国茶叶花在这3个位点却和白麻属的完全一致等。以上结果显示在ITSt、rnL内含子和trnL-F非编码区,白麻属和罗布麻属之间没有本质区别,罗布红麻与大叶白麻和白麻之间的亲缘关系可能较罗布红麻与罗布麻属内其它物种间的亲缘关系更近。遗传距离与系统树的分析结果进一步支持以上推论。建议撤销白麻属,将大叶白麻和白麻合并到罗布麻属。     

A molecular approach to detect hybridization between bream Abramis brama, roach Rutlius rutilus and rudd Scardinius erythrophthalmus

Hybridization between roach Rutilus rutilus , bream Abramis brama and rudd Scardinius erythrophthalmus was investigated using morphological and genetic analysis employing both nuclear (ITS1) and mitochondrial (cytochrome b ) markers. Allele-specific amplification (ASA) reactions for both markers were developed and ITS1 sequence data for all three species are presented. Sequencing detected two ITS1 haplotypes within both roach and bream which most likely evolved in isolation and were subsequently brought together as a result of restocking by anglers. Analysis of cloned hybrid nuclear ribosomal DNA revealed evidence of recombination between parental ITS1 sequences. ASA proved to be an effective method for identifying hybrids and detected multiple ITS1 copies in fishes identified as purebred by morphological analysis. In addition this suggests post-F1 hybridization and introgression may be occurring between roach and bream, and rudd and bream, although some barriers appear to be suppressing backcrosses within the hybrid population. Analysis of the hybrid population demonstrated that hybridization has occurred in both directions.     

Systematic positions of Lamiophiomis and Paraphlomis (Lamiaceae) based on nuclear and chloroplast sequences

Genera Lamiophlomis and Paraphlomis were originally separated from genus Phlomis s.l. on the basis of particular morphological characteristics. However, their relationship was highly contentious, as evidenced by the literature. In the present paper, the systematic positions of Lamiophlomis, Paraphlomis, and their related genera were assessed based on nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and chloroplast rpl16 and trnL-F sequence data using maximum parsimony (MP) and Bayesian methods. In total, 24 species representing six genera of the ingroup and outgroup were sampled. Analyses of both separate and combined sequence data were conducted to resolve the systematic relationships of these genera. The results reveal that Lamiophlomis is nested within Phlomis sect. Phlomoides and its genetic status is not supported. With the inclusion of Lamiophlomis rotata in sect. Phlomoides, sections Phlomis and Phlomoides of Phlomis were resolved as monophyletic. Paraphlomis was supported as an inde-pendent genus. However, the resolution of its monophyly conflicted between MP and Bayesian analyses, suggesting the need for expended sampling and further evidence.
