基于核核糖体DNA ITS序列的真藓科系统发育新证据

主要是利用核基因组的核糖体DNA内转录间隔区（nrDNA ITS）序列数据探讨了Buck和Goffinet（2000）限定的真藓科内各属间及属内种间的系统发育关系。ITS序列的最大简约法（MP）及贝叶斯推论（BI）分析结果显示：不支持Cox（1999）利用rps4/trnL-trnF数据分析将丝瓜藓属移至提灯藓科的结论。ITS数据分析与Holyoak（2007）利用trnL-F,trnG和atpB-rbcL序列数据分析将Bryum algovicum、B.caespiticium、B.capillare、B.pseudotriquetrum和Plagiobryum zierii划归Ptychostomum的结论一致,同时,为Spence(2005)依据形态学特征将B.pallescen、B.pallens、B.uliginosum、B.amblyodon和B.lonchocaulon划归Ptychostomum提供ITS分子证据支持。基于以上研究,建议将以上提到的真藓属种和平蒴藓移至Ptychostomum。     

中国新记录种——摩拉维采真藓(新拟)

该文首次报道了摩拉维采真藓(新拟)在中国的分布。研究表明:(1)摩拉维采真藓的主要识别特征为:叶常聚集在茎顶成莲座状,叶倒卵状披针形至匙形,具长毛尖,具分化边缘,中肋消失于叶尖下,叶细胞长菱形至六边形,叶腋处着生大量单列细胞构成的分枝或不分枝的丝状芽胞。(2)通过对摩拉维采真藓的命名和系统位置的讨论,确认该种是真藓属细叶真藓组的有效种。(3)摩拉维采真藓与近缘种细叶真藓和幽美真藓有诸多相似特征:莲座状的茎顶、有分化边和菱形至六边形中上部细胞的倒卵形叶,但该种以具有大量叶腋生丝状芽胞和叶中肋不及顶等特征区别于细叶真藓的无腋生芽胞、叶中肋突出叶尖成长芒状,以具有叶湿时平展、干时卷曲和叶腋有芽胞等特征区别于幽美真藓的叶湿时内凹、干时紧贴于茎和无腋生芽胞;拟三列真藓、圆叶真藓和灰黄真藓的部分种群都曾报道有与摩拉维采真藓相似的腋生丝状芽胞,但摩拉维采真藓的假根集生于植株基部、叶有狭分化边、叶缘平直、中肋消失于叶尖下而区别于拟三列真藓的茎中下部密被假根、叶有宽分化边、叶缘背卷、中肋及顶或短出,摩拉维采真藓有分化边和长毛尖的倒卵状披针形区别于圆叶真藓叶有无分化边和圆钝叶尖的卵圆形叶,区别于灰黄真藓有中肋及顶和短尖的卵状披针形叶;柔叶真藓有与摩拉维采真藓相似、中肋不及顶的叶,但无芽胞而易与新记录种区分。(4)该种在北温带有较广泛分布,形成欧洲-北亚-中亚-西亚和北美两个主要分布区;作者在四川和新疆等地的发现可以推测摩拉维采真藓在中国可能有更广泛的分布。     

栝楼属基于核糖体ITS序列的系统发育分析

栝楼属（Trichosanthes）是葫芦科(Cucurbitaceae)中一个种类较多、药用价值较大的属。本文基于ITS序列分析了栝楼属16个种的系统发育关系。聚类分析表明：在组的划分上,具有分类争议的截叶组(sect. Truncata)与大苞组(sect. Involucraria)形成一大支,处于一亚分枝位置,不支持独立成组。在属内分类地位上,在核酸水平不支持贵州栝楼(T.guizhouensis)为一独立种,结合形态特征建议并入双边栝楼(T.rosthornii)。大方油栝楼(T.dafangensis)与小苞组(sect. Trichosanthes)成为姊妹群,处于一个向叶苞组(sect. Foliobracteola)过渡位置,结合其形态特征,建议作为小苞组(sect. Trichosanthes)成员。     

新疆石竹属野生种核糖体DNA的ITS序列与亲缘关系

新疆是我国石竹属植物分布和分化中心,种质资源丰富。通过采用PCR直接测序法,对新疆石竹属（Dianthus)植物野生种共8个种及外类群（Lychnis coronata Thunb)rDNA的ITS区（包括ITS－1,5.8S,rDNA和ITS－2）进行序列测定。研究结果说明,新疆石生属植物的ITS序列总长度为617－621bp,长度变异较小,仅相差4bp,种间序列同源性很高,达97．6％－99．8％,外类群的序列同源性为80％左右。ITS区序列在石竹属内是相当保守的,石竹属物种间序列变异位点基本上是转移多于颠换,且转移率较高,转换／颠换率为1．0－3．0。系统地位和亲缘关系分析表明分布于中国的石竹属植物3个组即齿瓣组（sect.Barbulatum Williams)和石竹组（sect.Dianthus),遂瓣组（sect.Fimbriatum Williams)的亲缘关系较远,而sect.Dianthus与sect.Fimbriatum Williams的亲缘关系较近。ITS系统发育树揭示了石竹组起源早于遂瓣组和齿瓣组,其结果与传统形态学论述存在很大差异。     

根据核糖体DNA ITS序列分析苜蓿属的系统分类

对苜蓿属28个种和1个草木樨种的核糖体基因的内转录间隔子区（internal transcribed spacer,ITS)的核苷酸序列变异做了分析。黄香草木樨被用作外类群。系统分析产生的进化树与该属传统分类基本一致。本研究提示,黄花苜蓿应与紫色苜蓿列入一种。M.hybrida,M.cancellata和M.prostrata是与栽培苜蓿亲缘关系较近的野生种。研究结果证实先前被称做胡卢巴属的植物种应被归于苜蓿属,而芷蓿属内的Heynianae,Platycarpae和Spirocarpos等族的分类应予以重新考虑。     

广义青篱竹属(Arundinaria)核糖体DNA ITS序列及亲缘关系研究

利用PCR扩增产物直接测序的方法分析广义青篱竹属(Arundinaria)中有关争议类群的代表种或模式种(毛竹为外类群)等18种竹种的核糖体DNA内转录间隔区(Internal Transcribed Spacers,ITS)序列。通过最简约性分析产生的ITS系统发育树表明,供试竹种形成一个自然的单系类群,这说明广义青篱竹属中这些不同的类群归属青篱竹属是合理的。17种竹种可聚为2大分支：其中斑苦竹(A,oleosa)、仙居苦竹(A．hsienchuensis)、茶秆竹(A．amabilis)、长叶苦竹(A．chino)、苦竹(A．amara)、宜兴苦竹(A．yixingensis)、菲白竹(A．fortunei)、翠竹(A．pygmaea)为一个分支;而大明竹(A．graminea)、巴山木竹(A．fargesii)、冷箭竹(A．faberi)、凤竹(A．hupehense)、鼓节矢竹(Pseudosasa japonica cv．Tsutsumiana)、矢竹(Pseudosasa japonica)、短穗竹(Brachystachyum densiflorum)、肿节竹(A．oedogonata)、少穗竹(A．sulcata)组合在另一分支。ITS系统发育树还表明,大明竹与巴山木竹、鼓节矢竹与矢竹、少穗竹与短穗竹和肿节竹关系极为密切,均得到较高的Bootstrap(分别为99％、100％和87％)的支持;茶秆竹与仙居苦竹关系非常密切,茶秆竹可归隶到青篱竹属中;翠竹和菲白竹关系密切,且与苦竹类竹种分为两个分支。     

核糖体DNA ITS区序列在植物分子系统学研究中的价值

本文就近年来国内外有关被子植物核糖体ＤＮＡ中的内转录间隔区（ＩＴＳ）序列在植物属内,近缘属间乃至科内系统发育研究中的应用,结合作者在中国姜科山姜属（Ａｌｐｉｎｉａ Ｒｏｘｂ．）上的研究,对ＩＴＳ区序列在植物分子系统学研究中的价值作一简要综述,对其应用前景也进行了讨论。     

虎耳草属山羊臭组的界定和系统发育: 核糖体DNA ITS序列证据

虎耳草属Saxifraga山羊臭组sect. Ciliatae是该属中最大的一个组, 共有175种, 主要分布在喜马拉雅地区, 我国分布有166种, 占总种数的95%; 其中, 112种为中国特有。约80%的种类分布在我国青藏高原和西南地区, 是中国喜马拉雅植物成分的代表类群。山羊臭组内物种分化十分显著, 分类处理也很困难, 该组是否为单系类群, 组下的系统发育关系也不清楚, 均需进一步验证。本文测定了虎耳草属山羊臭组及其他组33种植物样品的核糖体DNA内转录间隔区ITS序列, 并从GenBank调取虎耳草组sect. Saxifraga等组和近缘属唢呐草属Mitella共22种植物的该序列。ITS分析结果表明: (1)所研究的山羊臭组类群聚为单独一支, 而且与垫状组sect. Porphyrion、虎耳草组、球茎组sect. Mesogyne和仅在欧洲分布的sect. Cymbalaria和sect. Cotylea等8个组聚成的另一分支构成姊妹群; (2)根据形态特征建立的山羊臭组的3个亚组即唐古拉亚组subsect. Hirculoideae、莲座状亚组subsect. Rosulares和具芽亚组subsect. Gemmiparae各自聚为一支, 但是莲座状亚组这一支的支持率较低。同时, 山羊臭组的鞭匐枝亚组subsect. Flagellares和subsect. Hemisphaericae的代表类群单独聚为一支, 位于具芽亚组类群分支内部而不能成立; (3)唐古拉亚组和莲座状亚组又聚为一亚分支与具芽亚组构成姊妹群, 而且具芽亚组最早从山羊臭组这一支中分化出来。我们的研究还发现山羊臭组内种间形态分化较大, 而ITS碱基变异较小, 这可能是山羊臭组类群在青藏高原及毗邻地区的高山环境下物种快速分化的结果。     

缺齿藓(真藓科)的形态特征和地理新分布

通过对内蒙古自治区与宁夏回族自治区交界处——贺兰山苔藓植物的调查采集和室内鉴定,发现了缺齿藓(Mielichhoferia mielichhoferiana)的一个新的地理分布记录。该文讨论了缺齿藓的形态特征和地理分布,将其与喜马拉雅缺齿藓、日本缺齿藓和中华缺齿藓进行了比较分析,并提供了该种的图版和中国缺齿藓属的分种检索表。该种的发现不仅丰富了中国缺齿藓属的研究资料,同时也说明了贺兰山的植物区系成分与喜马拉雅成分具有一定的关联。     

基于rDNA ITS序列探讨中国栽培灵芝菌株的亲缘关系

利用ITS序列分析技术对中国栽培灵芝菌株进行了亲缘关系分析。结果发现中国栽培灵芝菌株分布于5个聚类组,其中树舌亚属、紫芝组的菌株各自聚成一组,灵芝组的菌株分成3组,85·7%灵芝组菌株均聚于同一组,表明树舌亚属、紫芝组和灵芝组间的遗传差异较大,灵芝组内虽然存在着一定的遗传差异,但总体上亲缘关系比较近,遗传多样性并不丰富。聚类结果也表明仅仅根据形态学特征并不能将灵芝属菌株进行有效的分类,利用分子生物学的技术手段对灵芝菌种进行分类是一种更有效的方法。     

基于ITS序列的东亚当归属植物的分类学研究

采用PCR直接测序法,测定了东亚地区狭义当归属Angelica s.s.及其近缘共7属40种代表植物的核糖体DNA ITS序列,并结合GenBank中相关植物的ITS序列(含外类群3种),应用遗传距离与系统树分析法对东亚地区狭义当归属植物内部以及当归属与其近缘属植物之间的亲缘关系进行了分析。结果表明:(1)广义当归属中的狭义当归属、柳叶芹属Czernaevia和高山芹属Coelopleurum之间的亲缘关系较近,山芹属Ostericum与它们的亲缘关系较远,这与果实形态、化学分析的结果一致,建议将山芹属作为一个相对独立的分类群处理。(2)ITS序列分析结果支持狭义当归属不是单起源的自然分类群,而应该被分成若干组的观点。(3)ITS序列以及化学成分分析结果表明,前胡属Peucedanum与狭义当归属之间的亲缘关系很近。(4)形态、化学成分以及ITS等多方面分析结果显示,当归A.sinensis与狭义当归属的多数植物之间均有一定的差距,其归属问题值得商榷。(5)ITS序列与化学成分的分析结果均显示藁本属Ligusticum不是一个自然类群。     

五种大戟属植物nrDNA的ITS序列分析及其叶的比较解剖学研究

运用PCR直接测序法和石蜡切片法,测定5种安徽产大戟属植物的nrDNA的内转录间隔区(ITS)序列包括5.8SrDNA及其叶片的解剖。结果表明(1)5种大戟属植物的ITS的长度范围为641~662bp,运用Maga软件构件ITS树把5种植物归为两大支大戟、月腺大戟与乳浆大戟聚为一支;地锦和斑地锦聚为另一支。结果表明地锦和斑地锦亲缘关系较近,而大戟、月腺大戟和乳浆大戟亲缘关系较近。(2)5种大戟属植物的叶片结构中,除地锦和斑地锦外,其余3种有明显的栅栏组织和海绵组织之分,但二者在叶肉中的厚度比在种间有一定的差别;而地锦和斑地锦叶的栅栏组织与海绵组织分化不明显,且皆有乳汁管,其他3种植物叶片内未见此结构,叶片结构分析表明大戟、月腺大戟和乳浆大戟叶片结构相近,而地锦草和斑地锦叶片结构也相近。(3)分析表明nrDNA的ITS序列及叶的比较解剖特征具有明显的相关性。以上研究结果为大戟属植物的分类和药用开发提供了实验证据。     

Identification of Armillaria species associated with Polyporus umbellatus using ITS sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA

The sclerotia of Polyporus umbellatus were collected from three locations in Japan and three locations in China. All the collected sclerotia were adhered to by rhizomorphs of the symbionts. When the sclerotium of P. umbellatus was cross sectioned, the internal part of the sclerotium was cream colored, and many black regions surrounding the invading rhizomorphs were observed. The surrounding zone contained string-like, gelatinous masses composed of hyphae, and its outside was brown in color. All isolates were similar in colony morphology and grew well on PDA medium with well-developed rhizomorphs. All the isolates showed typical morphology of Armillaria. The isolated fungi were identified via the ITS region of the nuclear ribosomal DNA sequence. Phylogenetic analysis based on the neighbor-joining method showed that all the isolates clustered with fungi belonging to Armillaria species. Among them, five species (A. sinapina, A. calvescens, A. gallica, A. cepistipes, and A. nabsnona) and the symbiont formed a highly supported clade. We report on the case where Armillaria has a relationship in the sclerotium of Polyporus umbellatus.     

Molecular characterization of Fasciola gigantica from Mauritania based on mitochondrial and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences

Fasciolosis caused by Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica (Platyhelminthes: Trematoda: Digenea) is considered the most important helminth infection of ruminants in tropical countries, causing considerable socioeconomic problems. From Africa, F. gigantica has been previously characterized from Burkina Faso, Senegal, Kenya, Zambia and Mali, while F. hepatica has been reported from Morocco and Tunisia, and both species have been observed from Ethiopia and Egypt on the basis of morphometric differences, while the use of molecular markers is necessary to distinguish exactly between species. Samples identified morphologically as F. gigantica (n = 60) from sheep and cattle from different geographical localities of Mauritania were genetically characterized by sequences of the first (ITS-1), the 5.8S, and second (ITS-2) Internal Transcribed Spacers (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) genes and the mitochondrial Cytochrome c Oxidase I (COI) gene.Comparison of the sequences of the Mauritanian samples with sequences of Fasciola spp. from GenBank confirmed that all samples belong to the species F. gigantica. The nucleotide sequencing of ITS rDNA of F. gigantica showed no nucleotide variation in the ITS-1, 5.8S, and ITS-2 rDNA sequences among all samples examined and those from Burkina Faso, Kenya, Egypt and Iran. The phylogenetic trees based on the ITS-1 and ITS-2 sequences showed a close relationship of the Mauritanian samples with isolates of F. gigantica from different localities of Africa and Asia. The COI genotypes of the Mauritanian specimens of F. gigantica had a high level of diversity, and they belonged to the F. gigantica phylogenically distinguishable clade. The present study is the first molecular characterization of F. gigantica in sheep and cattle from Mauritania, allowing a reliable approach for the genetic differentiation of Fasciola spp. and providing basis for further studies on liver flukes in the African countries.     

用nrDNA ITS序列探讨狭蕊龙胆属及其近缘属 (龙胆科)的系统发育

运用核糖体DNA内转录间隔区ITS序列对狭蕊龙胆属Metagentiana10种及其近缘属22种植物进行了系统发育分析。ITS分析结果表明狭蕊龙胆属是一个多系群:在系统发育树上,双蝴蝶属Tripterospermum和蔓龙胆属Crawfurdia的种类位于狭蕊龙胆属各分支中,而且双蝴蝶属和蔓龙胆属的种类也相互交叉;这一结果不支持将3个属各自独立为属。但是,在所有分析中,3个属共同形成一单系分支,是龙胆属Gentiana的姊妹群;这一结果与形态学、花部解剖学、细胞学、孢粉学和胚胎学等证据基本一致,狭蕊龙胆属应该从龙胆属中分离出来,它与双蝴蝶属和蔓龙胆属有更为密切的亲缘关系。根据分支图,在狭蕊龙胆属、双蝴蝶属和蔓龙胆属组成的复合群中,现已知的染色体基数x＝17、21和23可能存在网状和平行进化。     

Phylogenetic relationships of Old World Brassicaceae from Iran based on nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences

Phylogenetic analysis of 155 nuclear rDNA ITS sequences among them 19 Iranian endemic genera were used to elucidate phylogenetic relationships of Old World Brassicaceae from Iran in the context of the most recent tribal system suggested by Al-Shehbaz et al. [Al-Shehbaz, I.A., Beilstein, M.A, Kellogg, E.A., 2006. Systematics and phylogeny of the Brassicaceae (Cruciferae): an overview. Plant Syst. Evol. 259, 89–120]. Iranian endemic taxa are assigned to 16 clades, 15 of these correspond to recognized tribes. Our data support the recent tribal recognition of Calepina and relatives and further indicate that the Orychophragmus clade (with Conringia planisiliqua and Orychophragmus) may be recognized as a new tribe. Our data also support the inclusion of 13 genera not previously studied, or with unresolved positions in previous phylogenetic analyses in 10 tribes with the tribal assignment given in parentheses: Acanthocardamum (Aethionemeae), Alyssopsis (Camelineae), Anastatica (Malcolmieae), Asperuginoides (Cochlearieae), Camelinopsis (Thlaspideae), Didymophysa (Thlaspideae), Dielsiocharisi (Camelineae), Lachnoloma (Anchonieae), Micrantha (Anchonieae), Noccidium (Camelineae), Octoceras (Euclidieae), Pseudofortuynia (Sisymbrieae) and Streptoloma (Euclidieae). ITS data and morphological characters further indicate that the remaining five genera, i.e., Acanthocardamum, Olimarabidopsis, Brossardia, Noccidium and Zuvanda may be subsumed under Aethionema, Alyssopsis, Noccaea, Capsella and Conringia, respectively. Alyssum, Chorispora, Fibigia and Goldbachia are paraphyletic and Conringia, Malcolmia, Matthiola are polyphyletic taxa.     

Hybrid status of Tibouchina urvilleana Cogn. revealed by ITS sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA

Tibouchina urvilleana Cogn. is native to southern Brazil and currently cultivated as an important ornamental shrub in frost free areas around the world. Its rapid vegetative growth and sterility suggests that it might be of hybrid origin. In this study, Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA and chloroplast trnL-trnF spacer from T. urvilleana and three other congeneric species were sequenced to test its hybrid status. Cloning sequencing revealed two distinct types of ITS sequences from T. urvilleana, with one type almost identical with Tibouchina aspera. Genetic distance between the two types was much larger than the average interspecific genetic distances calculated from other Tibouchina species. Sequencing of chloroplast trnL-trnF spacer showed that T. urvilleana has identical sequence with T. aspera, but differed from other congeneric species by one nucleotide substitution and two indels. Molecular data demonstrated clearly that T. urvilleana indeed was a hybrid, with T. aspera or closely related species acting as the maternal parent.     

基于ITS序列探讨金线草的系统学位置

金线草的系统位置一直存在争议,该试验以Triplaris weigeltiana为外类群,采用最大简约法对金线草及其近缘类群的ITS序列进行了系统发育分析.结果表明:(1)金线草和蓼属的春蓼组、刺蓼组形成三个并列的分支,因此,金线草没有必要独立成属,分子证据支持金线草成立为组;(2)金线草和春蓼组、刺蓼组植物聚在一起,...
