Liparis tsii: a new species of Orchidaceae (tribe-Malaxideae) from Guangdong,China with its phylogenetic position

Liparis tsii, a new orchid from Guangdong, China, is described and illustrated. It is compared with its closest allies: L. sasakii Hayata, L. nanlingensis H.Z. Tian & F.W. Xing, L. krameri Franch. & Sav., L. reckoniana T.C. Hsu and L. brunnea Ormerod belonging to section Liparis. Further phylogenetic study based on combined molecular data from nrITS and plastid trnL-F ascertained its phylogenetic position as L. tsii being sister to L. sasakii and L. nanlingensis. A key to identification with the allied species is provided.     

A phylogenetic analysis of the Orchidaceae: evidence from rbcL nucleotide

Cladistic parsimony analyses of rbcL nucleotide sequence data from 171 taxa representing nearly all tribes and subtribes of Orchidaceae are presented here. These analyses divide the family into five primary monophyletic clades: apostasioid, cypripedioid, vanilloid, orchidoid, and epidendroid orchids, arranged in that order. These clades, with the exception of the vanilloids, essentially correspond to currently recognized subfamilies. A distinct subfamily, based upon tribe Vanilleae, is supported for Vanilla and its allies. The general tree topology is, for the most part, congruent with previously published hypotheses of intrafamilial relationships; however, there is no evidence supporting the previously recognized subfamilies Spiranthoideae, Neottioideae, or Vandoideae. Subfamily Spiranthoideae is embedded within a single clade containing members of Orchidoideae and sister to tribe Diurideae. Genera representing tribe Tropideae are placed within the epidendroid clade. Most traditional subtribal units are supported within each clade, but few tribes, as currently circumscribed, are monophyletic. Although powerful in assessing monophyly of clades within the family, in this case rbcL fails to provide strong support for the interrelationships of the subfamilies (i.e., along the spine of the tree). The cladograms presented here should serve as a standard to which future morphological and molecular studies can be compared.

南方灵芝ITS、EF1-α和RPB2序列多态性研究

内转录间隔区（ITS）、延伸因子1-α（EF1-α）与RNA聚合酶II第二大亚基（RPB2）是真菌系统学研究中常用的基因片段。已有研究发现,在同一个体内ITS也可能存在差异,但EF1-α和RPB2是否也存在同样的现象却鲜有报道。本研究通过克隆测序,分析了南方灵芝Ganoderma australe的ITS、EF1-α和RPB2在同一个体中的序列差异,并探讨这种序列差异是否会影响分子鉴定的准确性。结果表明,在南方灵芝供试样品中,ITS、EF1-α和RPB2序列都有可能存在个体内变异,但个体内变异程度不尽相同。基于供试样品和克隆测序结果发现,ITS序列在同一个体内的变异最高可达2.3%,而RPB2序列在同一个体内的差异仅0.5%,EF1-α序列在同一个体内序列差异也可高达1.8%。ITS和EF1-α序列在同一个体内的差异可能超过了灵芝属部分物种间的差异,对于部分灵芝属物种来说直接利用克隆序列进行分子鉴定或系统发育分析可能存在一些问题。     

Ecological specialization in mycorrhizal symbiosis leads to rarity in an endangered orchid

Terrestrial orchid germination, growth and development are closely linked to the establishment and maintenance of a relationship with a mycorrhizal fungus. Mycorrhizal dependency and specificity varies considerably between orchid taxa but the degree to which this underpins rarity in orchids is unknown. In the context of examining orchid rarity, large scale in vitro and in situ germination trials complemented by DNA sequencing were used to investigate ecological specialization in the mycorrhizal interaction of the rare terrestrial orchid Caladenia huegelii. Common and widespread sympatric orchid congeners were used for comparative purposes. Germination trials revealed an absolute requirement for mycorrhisation with compatibility barriers to germination limiting C. huegelii to a highly specific and range limited, efficacious mycorrhizal fungus. DNA sequencing confirmed fidelity between orchid and fungus across the distribution range of C. huegelii and at key life history stages within its life cycle. It was also revealed that common congeners could swap or share fungal partners including the fungus associated with the rare orchid but not vice versa. Data from this study provides evidence for orchid rarity as a cause and consequence of high mycorrhizal specialization. This interaction must be taken into account in efforts to mitigate the significant extinction risk for this species from anthropogenically induced habitat change and illustrates the importance of understanding fungal specificity in orchid ecology and conservation.
