Using DNA sequence data from multiple genes (often from more than one genome compartment) to reconstruct phylogenetic relationships has become routine. Augmenting this approach with genomic structural characters (e.g., intron gain and loss, changes in gene order) as these data become available from comparative studies already has provided critical insight into some long-standing questions about the evolution of land plants. Here we report on the presence of a group II intron located in the mitochondrial atp1 gene of leptosporangiate and marattioid ferns. Primary sequence data for the atp1 gene are newly reported for 27 taxa, and results are presented from maximum likelihood-based phylogenetic analyses using Bayesian inference for 34 land plants in three data sets: (1) single-gene mitochondrial atp1 (exon+intron sequences); (2) five combined genes (mitochondrial atp1 [exon only]; plastid rbcL, atpB, rps4; nuclear SSU rDNA); and (3) same five combined genes plus morphology. All our phylogenetic analyses corroborate results from previous fern studies that used plastid and nuclear sequence data: the monophyly of euphyllophytes, as well as of monilophytes; whisk ferns (Psilotidae) sister to ophioglossoid ferns (Ophioglossidae); horsetails (Equisetopsida) sister to marattioid ferns (Marattiidae), which together are sister to the monophyletic leptosporangiate ferns. In contrast to the results from the primary sequence data, the genomic structural data (atp1 intron distribution pattern) would seem to suggest that leptosporangiate and marattioid ferns are monophyletic, and together they are the sister group to horsetails--a topology that is rarely reconstructed using primary sequence data. 相似文献

Phylogenetic analyses of Meliaceae, including representatives of all four currently recognized subfamilies and all but two tribes (32 genera and 35 species, respectively), were carried out using DNA sequence data from three regions: plastid genes rbcL, matK (partial), and nuclear 26S rDNA (partial). Individual and combined phylogenetic analyses were performed for the rbcL, matK, and 26S rDNA data sets. Although the percentage of informative characters is highest in the segment of matK sequenced, rbcL provides the greatest number of informative characters of the three regions, resulting in the best resolved trees. Results of parsimony analyses support the recognition of only two subfamilies (Melioideae and Swietenioideae), which are sister groups. Melieae are the only tribe recognized previously that are strongly supported as monophyletic. The members of the two small monogeneric subfamilies, Quivisianthe and Capuronianthus, fall within Melioideae and Swietenioideae, respectively, supporting their taxonomic inclusion in these groups. Furthermore, the data indicate a close relationship between Aglaieae and Guareeae and a possible monophyletic origin of Cedreleae of Swietenioideae. For Trichilieae (Melioideae) and Swietenieae (Swietenioideae) lack of monophyly is indicated. 相似文献

The snap-trap leaves of the aquatic waterwheel plant (Aldrovanda) resemble those of Venus' flytrap (Dionaea), its distribution and habit are reminiscent of bladderworts (Utricularia), but it shares many reproductive characters with sundews (Drosera). Moreover, Aldrovanda has never been included in molecular phylogenetic studies, so it has been unclear whether snap-traps evolved only once or more than once among angiosperms. Using sequences from nuclear 18S and plastid rbcL, atpB, and matK genes, we show that Aldrovanda is sister to Dionaea, and this pair is sister to Drosera. Our results indicate that snap-traps are derived from flypaper-traps and have a common ancestry among flowering plants, despite the fact that this mechanism is used by both a terrestrial species and an aquatic one. Genetic and fossil evidence for the close relationship between these unique and threatened organisms indicate that carnivory evolved from a common ancestor within this caryophyllid clade at least 65 million years ago. 相似文献

When plastids are transferred between eukaryote lineages through series of endosymbiosis, their environment changes dramatically. Comparison of dinoflagellate plastids that originated from different algal groups has revealed convergent evolution, suggesting that the host environment mainly influences the evolution of the newly acquired organelle. Recently the genome from the anomalously pigmented dinoflagellate Karlodinium veneficum plastid was uncovered as a conventional chromosome. To determine if this haptophyte-derived plastid contains additional chromosomal fragments that resemble the mini-circles of the peridin-containing plastids, we have investigated its genome by in-depth sequencing using 454 pyrosequencing technology, PCR and clone library analysis. Sequence analyses show several genes with significantly higher copy numbers than present in the chromosome. These genes are most likely extrachromosomal fragments, and the ones with highest copy numbers include genes encoding the chaperone DnaK(Hsp70), the rubisco large subunit (rbcL), and two tRNAs (trnE and trnM). In addition, some photosystem genes such as psaB, psaA, psbB and psbD are overrepresented. Most of the dnaK and rbcL sequences are found as shortened or fragmented gene sequences, typically missing the 3'-terminal portion. Both dnaK and rbcL are associated with a common sequence element consisting of about 120 bp of highly conserved AT-rich sequence followed by a trnE gene, possibly serving as a control region. Decatenation assays and Southern blot analysis indicate that the extrachromosomal plastid sequences do not have the same organization or lengths as the minicircles of the peridinin dinoflagellates. The fragmentation of the haptophyte-derived plastid genome K. veneficum suggests that it is likely a sign of a host-driven process shaping the plastid genomes of dinoflagellates. 相似文献

Molecular phylogenetic analysis among bryophytes and tracheophytes based on combined data of plastid coded genes and the 18S rRNA gene. 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The basal relationship of bryophytes and tracheophytes is problematic in land plant phylogeny. In addition to cladistic analyses of morphological data, molecular phylogenetic analyses of the nuclear small-subunit ribosomal RNA gene and the plastic gene rbcL have been performed, but no confident conclusions have been reached. Using the maximum-likelihood (ML) method, we analyzed 4,563 bp of aligned sequences from plastid protein-coding genes and 1,680 bp from the nuclear 18S rRNA gene. In the ML tree of deduced amino acid sequences of the plastid genes, hornworts were basal among the land plants, while mosses and liverworts each formed a clade and were sister to each other. Total-evidence evaluation of rRNA data and plastid protein-coding genes by TOTALML had an almost identical result. 相似文献

Phylogenetic studies of Ophioglossaceae: evidence from rbcL and trnL-F plastid DNA sequences and morphology 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Ophioglossaceae are a putatively ancient lineage of ferns in which the aerial portion of the plant is composed of a single leaf. The simplicity of foliar morphology has limited the number of characters available for constructing classifications and contributed to taxonomic difficulties at nearly every level of classification within the family. Analysis of plastid DNA rbcL sequences from 36 species representing the diversity of Ophioglossaceae supported the monophyly of the family. Intrafamilial relationships were examined using rbcL and trnL-F plastid DNA sequences and morphological data. Individual and combined analyses of the three data sets revealed two main clades within the family, here termed ophioglossoid and botrychioid. In the botrychioid clade, Helminthostachys was sister to a broadly defined Botrychium, within which Botrychium in the narrow sense of some authors and Sceptridium were sister. Botrypus was paraphyletic, with Botrypus virginianus sister to Botrychium plus Sceptridium, and with Botrypus strictus sister to all other botrychioid species except Helminthostachys. In the ophioglossoid clade, Ophioglossum in the narrow sense was sister to Cheiroglossa plus Ophioderma, but relationships within Ophioglossum were not well supported. 相似文献

? Premise of the study: The Malpighiaceae include ~1300 tropical flowering plant species in which generic definitions and intergeneric relationships have long been problematic. The goals of our study were to resolve relationships among the 11 generic segregates from the New World genus Mascagnia, test the monophyly of the largest remaining Malpighiaceae genera, and clarify the placement of Old World Malpighiaceae. ? Methods: We combined DNA sequence data for four genes (plastid ndhF, matK, and rbcL and nuclear PHYC) from 338 ingroup accessions that represented all 77 currently recognized genera with morphological data from 144 ingroup species to produce a complete generic phylogeny of the family. ? Key results and conclusions: The genera are distributed among 14 mostly well-supported clades. The interrelationships of these major subclades have strong support, except for the clade comprising the wing-fruited genera (i.e., the malpighioid+Amorimia, Ectopopterys, hiraeoid, stigmaphylloid, and tetrapteroid clades). These results resolve numerous systematic problems, while others have emerged and constitute opportunities for future study. Malpighiaceae migrated from the New to Old World nine times, with two of those migrants being very recent arrivals from the New World. The seven other Old World clades dispersed much earlier, likely during the Tertiary. Comparison of floral morphology in Old World Malpighiaceae with their closest New World relatives suggests that morphological stasis in the New World likely results from selection by neotropical oil-bee pollinators and that the morphological diversity found in Old World flowers has evolved following their release from selection by those bees. 相似文献

Relationships among the five groups of extant seed plants (cycads, Ginkgo, conifers, Gnetales, and angiosperms) remain uncertain. To explore relationships among groups of extant seed plants further and to attempt to explain the conflict among molecular data sets, we assembled a data set of four plastid (cpDNA) genes (rbcL, atpB, psaA, and psbB), three mitochondrial (mtDNA) genes (mtSSU, coxI, and atpA), and one nuclear gene (18S rDNA) for 19 exemplars representing the five groups of living seed plants. Analyses of the combined eight-gene data set (15?772 base pairs/taxon) with maximum parsimony (MP), maximum likelihood (ML), and Bayesian approaches reveal a gymnosperm clade that is sister to angiosperms. Within the gymnosperms, a conifer clade includes Gnetales as sister to Pinaceae. Cycads and Ginkgo are either successive sisters to this conifer clade (including Gnetales) or a clade that is sister to conifers and Gnetales. All analyses of the mtDNA partition and ML analyses of the nuclear partition yield very similar topologies. However, MP analyses of the combined cpDNA genes place Gnetales as sister to all other seed plants with strong bootstrap support, whereas ML and Bayesian analyses of the cpDNA data set place Gnetales as sister to Pinaceae. Maximum parsimony and ML analyses of first and second codon positions of the cpDNA partiation also place Gnetales as sister to Pinaceae. In contrast, MP analyses of third codon positions place Gnetales as sister to other seed plants, although ML analyses of third codon positions place Gnetales with Pinaceae. Thus, most of the discrepancies in seed plant topologies involve third codon positions of cpDNA genes. The likelihood ratio (LR) and Shimodaira-Hasegasa (SH) tests were applied to the cpDNA data. The preferred topology based on the LR test is that Gnetales are sister to Pseudotsuga. The SH test based on first and second codon and all three codon positions indicated that there is no significant difference between the best topology (Gnetales sister to Pseudotsuga) and Gnetales sister to a conifer clade. However, there is a significant difference between the best topology and topologies in which Gnetales are sister to the rest of the seed plants or Gnetales sister to angiosperms. 相似文献

Phylogenetic analyses of DNA nucleotide sequences from the plastid genes rbcL and matK were employed to investigate intergeneric relationships within Malpighiaceae. Cladistic relationships generated from the independent data matrices for the family are generally in agreement with those from the combined matrix. At the base of Malpighiaceae are several clades mostly representing genera from a paraphyletic subfamily Byrsonimoideae. Intergeneric relationships among these byrsonimoid malpighs are well supported by the bootstrap, and the tribe Galphimeae is monophyletic. There is also a well-supported clade of genera corresponding to tribes Banisterieae plus Gaudichaudieae present in all trees, and many of the relationships among these banisterioid malpighs are well supported by the bootstrap. However, tribes Hiraeae and Tricomarieae (the hiraeoid malpighs) are paraphyletic and largely unresolved. Species of Mascagnia are distributed throughout these hiraeoid clades, confirming the suspected polyphyly of this large genus. Optimization of selected morphological characters on these trees demonstrates clear phylogenetic trends such as the evolution of globally symmetrical from radially symmetrical pollen, increased modification and sterilization of stamens, and switch from base chromosome number n = 6 to n = 10. 相似文献

Orobanche species characterization using plastid sequences as molecular markers revealed that O. cumana contains at least two distinct rbcL sequences: one similar in size to the truncated rbcL pseudogene from O. cernua, a closely related species, and another with a size comparable to that of rbcL plastid genes from autotrophic plants. In this work, the nucleotide sequences of these two copies are reported and analysed. The organization of the O. cumana plastid genome was investigated using a long-distance PCR strategy in order to determine their localization. Because of the non-plastid localization of the rbcL larger copy, Southern blot and PCR chromosome-walking experiments were carried out to better characterize this transferred sequence and to identify its localization. Then the mode of multiple transfer of genetic information from plastid to nucleus and the concomitant plastid sequence disorganization and migration during parasitic plant evolution are discussed. 相似文献

The past several years have seen an abundance of molecular sequence data gathered on heterokont algae and other stramenopiles with the goal of resolving phylogenetic relationships among major groups. The original focus was on SSU rDNA sequence, but lately a significant number of sequences of plastid and mitochondrial encoded genes (specifically rbcL and coxI) have been made available. Of particular interest to us has been the origin of diatoms and the relationship of diatoms to other stramenopiles. According to most claims based on morphological data, typically viewed from a non-rigorous evolutionary taxonomy standpoint (i.e. not with explicit cladistic or phylogenetic systematic methodology), diatoms are closely related to silica-scaled golden brown algae (chrysophytes or synurophytes). SSU rDNA sequence data, however, often place diatoms at the base of the heterokont alga tree, and chryso/synurophytes at the tip with eustigmatophytes, for example, as the chryso/synurophyte sister group. More recent analysis of rbcL sequences, however, supports the traditional classification. It is not automatically to be assumed that there is incongruence between the sequences, however. Taxon sampling is different in the different analyses, methods of analysis are often different, assumptions used to "filter" data are different, etc. Moreover, the relative strength of signal appears to be different in the data sets. We will present an analysis of combined SSU, rbcL and coxI data, an analysis of taxon-sampling issues, and review underlying assumptions and methodologies in an attempt to a) better understand the results of prior studies and b) reconcile the different hypotheses. 相似文献

Utilization of molecular phylogenetic information over the past decade has resulted in clarification of the position of most angiosperms. In contrast, the position of the holoparasitic family Hydnoraceae has remained controversial. To address the question of phylogenetic position of Hydnoraceae among angiosperms, nuclear SSU and LSU rDNA and mitochondrial atp1 and matR sequences were obtained for Hydnora and Prosopanche. These sequences were used in combined analyses that included the above four genes as well as chloroplast rbcL and atpB (these plastid genes are missing in Hydnoraceae and were hence coded as missing). Three data sets were analyzed using maximum parsimony: (1) three genes with 461 taxa; (2) five genes with 77 taxa; and (3) six genes with 38 taxa. Analyses of separate and combined data partitions support the monophyly of Hydnoraceae and the association of that clade with Aristolochiaceae sensu lato (s.l.) (including Lactoridaceae). The latter clade is sister to Piperaceae and Saururaceae. Despite over 11 kilobases (kb) of sequence data, relationships within Aristolochiaceae s.l. remain unresolved, thus it cannot yet be determined whether Aristolochiaceae, Hydnoraceae, and Lactoridaceae should be classified as distinct families. In contrast to most traditional classifications, molecular phylogenetic analyses do not suggest a close relationship between Hydnoraceae and Rafflesiaceae. A number of morphological features is shared by Hydnoraceae and Aristolochiaceae; however, a more resolved phylogeny is required to determine whether these represent synapomorphies or independent acquisitions. 相似文献

Sequence data from the noncoding region separating the plastid genes atpbeta and rbcL were gathered for 27 epacrid taxa, representing all previously recognized infrafamilial groups, and four outgroup taxa (Ericaceae), to address several persistent phylogenetic questions in the group. Parsimony analyses were conducted on these data, as well as on a complementary rbcL sequence dataset assembled from the literature and the combined dataset. The atpbeta-rbcL spacer was notable for the high frequency of insertion-deletion mutations (indels); their distributions were coded as binary characters and included as a adjunct matrix in some of the analyses. The phylogenetic patterns derived from the spacer and rbcL data and the combined analyses, both including and excluding the indel data, concur in resolving seven major lineages corresponding to the tribes of Crayn et al. (1998, Aust. J. Bot. 46, 187-200), viz. Prionoteae, Archerieae, Oligarrheneae, Cosmelieae, Richeeae, Epacrideae, and Styphelieae. The relationships of the tribes and within Styphelieae, however, are not convincingly resolved. Minor conflicts in the positions of some taxa between the spacer and the rbcL trees are poorly supported. Among epacrids, the spacer region provided more cladistically informative characters than rbcL and resulted in trees with lower homoplasy. Further, the spacer data, when analyzed alone and when combined with rbcL, resolved several clades that could not be retrieved on rbcL data alone and provided increased support for many other relationships. The evolution of a putative three-base inversion associated with a hairpin secondary structure in the spacer region is discussed in the light of the inferred phylogeny. 相似文献

Buffalograss (Buchlo? dactyloides (Nutt.) Englem), a C4 turfgrass species, is native to the Great Plains region of North America. The evolutionary implications of buffalograss are unclear. Sequencing of rbcL and matK genes from plastid and the cob gene from mitochondrial genomes was examined to elucidate buffalo grass evolution. This study is the first to report sequencing of these genes from organelle genomes in the genus Buchlo?. Comparisons of sequence data from the mitochondrial and plastid genome revealed that all genotypes contained the same cytoplasmic origin. There were some rearrangements detected in mitochondrial genome. The buffalograss genome appears to have evolved through the rearrangements of convergent subgenomic domains. Combined analyses of plastid genes suggest that the evolutionary process in Buchlo? accessions studied was monophyletic rather than polyphyletic. However, since plastid and mitochondrial genomes are generally uniparentally inherited, the evolutionary history of these genomes may not reflect the evolutionary history of the organism, especially in a species in which out-crossing is common. The sequence information obtained from this study can be used as a genome-specific marker for investigation of the buffalograss polyploidy complex and testing of the mode of plastid and mitochondrial transmission in genus Buchlo?. 相似文献

Phylogenetics of flowering plants based on combined analysis of plastid atpB and rbcL gene sequences
Savolainen V Chase MW Hoot SB Morton CM Soltis DE Bayer C Fay MF de Bruijn AY Sullivan S Qiu YL 《Systematic biology》2000,49(2):306-362
Following (1) the large-scale molecular phylogeny of seed plants based on plastid rbcL gene sequences (published in 1993 by Chase et al., Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 80:528-580) and (2) the 18S nuclear phylogeny of flowering plants (published in 1997 by Soltis et al., Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 84:1-49), we present a phylogenetic analysis of flowering plants based on a second plastid gene, atpB, analyzed separately and in combination with rbcL sequences for 357 taxa. Despite some discrepancies, the atpB-based phylogenetic trees were highly congruent with those derived from the analysis of rbcL and 18S rDNA, and the combination of atpB and rbcL DNA sequences (comprising approximately 3000 base pairs) produced increased bootstrap support for many major sets of taxa. The angiosperms are divided into two major groups: noneudicots with inaperturate or uniaperturate pollen (monocots plus Laurales, Magnoliales, Piperales, Ceratophyllales, and Amborellaceae-Nymphaeaceae-Illiciaceae) and the eudicots with triaperturate pollen (particularly asterids and rosids). Based on rbcL alone and atpB/rbcL combined, the noneudicots (excluding Ceratophyllum) are monophyletic, whereas in the atpB trees they form a grade. Ceratophyllum is sister to the rest of angiosperms with rbcL alone and in the combined atpB/rbcL analysis, whereas with atpB alone, Amborellaceae, Nymphaeaceae, and Illiciaceae/Schisandraceae form a grade at the base of the angiosperms. The phylogenetic information at each codon position and the different types of substitutions (observed transitions and transversions in the trees vs. pairwise comparisons) were examined; taking into account their respective consistency and retention indices, we demonstrate that third-codon positions and transitions are the most useful characters in these phylogenetic reconstructions. This study further demonstrates that phylogenetic analysis of large matrices is feasible. 相似文献
