Systematics of the one seeded Juniperus of the eastern hemisphere based on leaf essential oils and random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs)

The compositions of the leaf essential oils of all the one seed/cone species of Juniperus (sect. Sabina) of the eastern hemisphere are reported and compared (J. convallium, J. convallium var. microsperma, J. indica, J. komarovii, J. pingii, J. pingii var. carinata, J. prezewalskii, J. pseudosabina, J. recurva, J. recurva var. coxii, J. saltuaria, J. squamata, J. squamata var. morrisonicola, J. tibetica, J. wallachiana). In addition, DNA fingerprinting by RAPDs was utilized. The combined terpenoid and DNA data supported the continued recognition of the aforementioned taxa as distinct species except for four varieties which were recognized at the specific level: Juniperus carinata (Y.K. Yu & L.K. Fu) R.P. Adams, stat. nov. (Syn.: J. pingii var. carinata); J. coxii A.B. Jacks. (Syn.: J. recurva var. coxii); Juniperus microsperma (Cheng & L.K. Fu) R.P. Adams, stat. nov. (Syn.: J. convallium var. microsperma); J. morrisonicola Hayata (Syn.: J. squamata var. morrisonicola).

Base J originally found in kinetoplastida is also a minor constituent of nuclear DNA of Euglena gracilis

We have analyzed DNA of EUGLENA: gracilis for the presence of the unusual minor base beta-D-glucosyl-hydroxymethyluracil or J, thus far only found in kinetoplastid flagellates and in DIPLONEMA: Using antibodies specific for J and post-labeling of DNA digests followed by two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography of labeled nucleotides, we show that approximately 0.2 mole percent of EUGLENA: DNA consists of J, an amount similar to that found in DNA of Trypanosoma brucei. By staining permeabilized EUGLENA: cells with anti-J antibodies, we show that J is rather uniformly distributed in the EUGLENA: nucleus, and does not co-localize to a substantial extent with (GGGTTA)(n) repeats, the putative telomeric repeats of EUGLENA: Hence, most of J in EUGLENA: appears to be non-telomeric. Our results add to the existing evidence for a close phylogenetic relation between kinetoplastids and euglenids.
