基于matR基因序列分析的山茶科系统关系

通过线粒体matR基因序列分析探讨了山茶科的分类学范围和系统演化关系。结果显示,传统山茶科的两个核心——山茶亚科（Theoideae或Camellioideae）和厚皮香亚科（Ternstroemioideae）不构成姐妹群关系,山茶亚科是一个支持率很高的单系类群,厚皮香亚科没有形成单系;山茶亚科下可区分出3个明显的分支,基部的分支由紫茎属（Stewartia）和舟柄茶属（Hartia）组成,木荷属（Schima）、美洲荷属（Franklirda）和美国大头茶属（Gordonia）构成第2个分支,该分支与由山茶属（Camellia）、核果茶属（Pyrenaria）、多瓣核果茶属（Parapyrenaria）、石笔木属（Tutcheria）、大头荣属（Polyspora）和圆籽荷属（Aptersperma）组成的第3个分支互为姐妹群。研究结果很好地支持了Prince和Parks等学者提出的的狭义山茶科（仅含山茶亚科）和狭义大头茶属的概念以及科下3个族（紫茎族Stewartieae、大头茶族Gordonieae和山茶族Theeae）的划分。但本研究更为清晰地揭示了科下3个族间的系统关系,即紫茎族是最基部的分支,山茶族与大头茶族间有更近的亲缘关系。同时,本文认为,厚皮香（亚）科是否为单系类群值得进一步研究。     

基于5.8SrDNA序列论三白草科的系统发育

三白草科（Saururaceae)是古草本的一个核心类群,它的研究对被子植物起源和早期演化具有重要意义,本文采用最大简约法（maximum parsimony method)和邻接法（neighbor-joining method)等不同的分析方法,对三白草科及其外类群齐头绒（Zippelia begoniaefolia Blume)的5.85rDNA序列进行分析,得到一致的结论：Anemopsis最早从三白草科中分离出来,Saururus chinensis和S.cernuus是一对姐群,由于5.85rDNA序列的变异位点和信息位点相对比较少,Gymnotheca chinensis-G.involucrata-Houttuynia-Saururus之间难以通过5.8SrDNA序列的比较进行分辨。     

Phylogeny of Saururaceae based on mitochondrial <Emphasis Type="Italic">matR</Emphasis> gene sequence data

DNA sequences of matR gene from three species of Saururaceae and the selected outgroups, Chloranthus holostegius and Zippelia begoniaefolia, are reported. All DNA sequences of six species in four genera of Saururaceae and the two outgroups are analyzed on PAUP 4.0 8b to reconstruct the phylogeny. A single matR gene tree is generated from parsimony, distance, and likelihood analyses, respectively. The three trees with the same topology are slightly different in bootstrapping support for some clades. The result indicates that Saururaceae is monophyletic. Anemopsis is sister to Houttuynia, and the two genera form the first diverging lineage of the family. The sister group relationship between Saururus and Gymnotheca is also supported by a relatively high bootstrap value. The result is different from all the former phylogenetic opinions on Saururaceae based on morphology, but it is supported by the evolution of flower-bract stalk in Saururaceae. In addition, some characteristics of the matR gene are analyzed. The MatR gene is a relatively better tool to reconstruct the molecular clock because the base substitution bias greatly decreases in the gene.

Molecular Phylogeny of Nycticebus Inferred from Mitochondrial Genes

Researchers are still discussing the classification of Nycticebus. We established a molecular phylogeny covering all recognized taxa in Nycticebus to provide information for further evaluation. We sequenced partial D-loop (ca. 390 bp) and cytochrome b genes (425 bp) from 22 specimens. We separated most of the major groups except for some mixing of Nycticebus. coucang coucang and N. bengalensis. Nycticebus pygmaeus diverged earlier from the ancestral stock than the other taxa. Nycticebus coucang menagensis was well discriminated from N. c. coucang. It may be possible to explain the mixing of Nycticebus coucang coucang and N. bengalensis by the hybridization between the 2 groups in the field. Although our data did not provide direct evidence for or against the new proposal that Nycticebus coucang javanicus be raised to the rank of a distinct species (N. javanicus), we have good evidence for regarding N. c. menagensis as a species.Jing-Hua Chen and Deng Pan made equal contributions to the work.     

Molecular Phylogeny of the Suborder Leucodontineae (Musci; Leucodontales) Inferred from rbcL Sequence Data

rbcL sequence data (1324 bp on average). Our analyses indicate (1) that Antitrichia is distantly related to the other members of Leucodontaceae and should be excluded from the family, (2) that Cryphaeaceae form a monophyletic clade, not with Anomodontaceae and Leptodontaceae, but with Leucodontaceae, refuting the placement of Leucodontaceae and Cryphaeaceae in different superfamilies, (3) that Forsstroemia, variously classified in Leucodontaceae, Cryphaeaceae or Leptodontaceae, forms a monophyletic clade with Neckera (Neckeraceae), and (4) that the presumed monophyly of Anomodon and that of Anomodontaceae are not supported.

五味子科的系统发育:核糖体DNA ITS区序列证据

The Schisandraceae is one of the most important taxa for understanding the origin and evolution of primitive angiosperms due to its basal position in the recent cladograms of the angiosperm based both on several gene sequences and on morphological characters, but phylogenetic relationships within the family are still unresolved. The sequences of nrDNA ITS region of 15 species representing four sections of Schisandra Michx., two sections of Kadsura Kaempf. ex Juss. and one outgroup, Illicium fargesii Finet et Gagnep., were used to reconstruct the phylogeny of Schisandraceae. Fourteen most parsimonious trees (Length=259, CI=0.934 and RI=0.889) were obtained from the analysis with I．fargesii as the outgroup. In the consensus tree, the genus Schisandra was found to be divided into three clades. Sect. Pleiostema formed a clade together with sect. Maximowiczia, sect. Sphaerostema was weakly supported to be the sister group of a clade comprising S. bicolor var. tuberculata and Kadsura species. In particular, S. bicolor var. tuberculata, a species of sect. Schisandra, was nested within Kadsura. It seems from this result and the morphological characters that Schisandra might not be a monophyletic group. According to the present molecular phylogeny, both elongated hypocarpium and deciduous habit originated independently at least twice in the Schisandraceae, and therefore, the value of the present morphological characters used in the classification of the family Schisandraceae should be reevaluated.

Semiannulata-group;红足真蝽群中的角肩真蝽P. angulata与红足真蝽P. rufipes遗传距离较小,它们是否为1个物种值得关注;真蝽属各群之间的系统发育关系以及是否可分为3个属值得进一步研究.     

Evolution of Filamentous Ascomycetes Inferred from LSU rDNA Sequence Data

Abstract: The nuclear LSU rRNA gene was examined in order to evaluate the current phylogeny of ascomycetes, which is mainly based on nuclear SSU rRNA data. Partial LSU rRNA gene sequences of 19 ascomycetes were determined and aligned with the corresponding sequences of 13 other ascomycetes retrieved from Genbank, including all classes traditionally distinguished and most of the recently accepted classes. The classification based on SSU rDNA data and morphological characters is supported, while the traditional classification and classifications based on the ascus type are rejected. Ascomycetes with perithecia and cleistothecia form monophyletic groups, while the discomycetes are a paraphyletic assemblage. The Pezizales are basal to all other filamentous ascomycetes. The monophyly of Loculoascomycetes is uncertain. The results of the LSU rDNA analysis agree with those of the SSU rDNA and RPB2 gene analyses, suggesting that most classes circumscribed in the filamentous ascomycetes are monophyletic. The branching order and relationships among these classes, however, cannot be elucidated with any of these data sets.     

基于ITS与trnL—F序列探讨槭树科的系统发育

报道了槭树科41种（其中槭属39种0植物的trnL-F和ITS序列（其中部分种的ITS序列为重新测定），以期通过分子手段对槭树科内部尤其是复杂的槭属的系统发育关系进行重建。以无患子科和七叶树科为外类群，基于对57个种单独的ITS序列（包括从GenBank下载的16种的序列），41种trnL-F序列及41种两序列的联合数据，分析采用最大简约法（Maximum Parsimony Method)和邻接法（Neighbor-Joining Method)对槭树科的系统发育进行了分析。结果显示，整个槭树科为一单系类群；金钱槭位于槭树科的基部；但由于云南金钱槭（Dipteronia dyerana)聚在槭属内部，认为金钱槭属和槭属均可能是非单系类群；槭属内组间关系的支持率普遍较低，但多数组的组内关系得到了较好的支持。将两个片段结合比单独的ITS或trnL-F分析能更好地解决槭属内部的系统关系，其中sect,Palmata和sect.Micrcarpa,sect,Platanoidea,sect,Lithocarpa和sect.Macrophylla,sect,Integrifolia.Trifoliata和sect Pentaphylla,以及sect.Acer,sect.Goniocarpa和sect.Saccharina(sensu Ogata）的组间亲缘关系得到了一定的支持，但对其中部分组的划分可能应做进一步调整。重新评价了徐廷志系统中对sect.Rubra和sect.Saccharodendron的处理。

Molecular Phylogeny of Conjugating Green Algae (Zygnemophyceae, Streptophyta) Inferred from SSU rDNA Sequence Comparisons

Abstract Nuclear-encoded SSU rDNA sequences have been obtained from 64 strains of conjugating green algae (Zygnemophyceae, Streptophyta, Viridiplantae). Molecular phylogenetic analyses of 90 SSU rDNA sequences of Viridiplantae (inciuding 78 from the Zygnemophyceae) were performed using complex evolutionary models and maximum likelihood, distance, and maximum parsimony methods. The significance of the results was tested by bootstrap analyses, deletion of long-branch taxa, relative rate tests, and Kishino–Hasegawa tests with user-defined trees. All results support the monophyly of the class Zygnemophyceae and of the order Desmidiales. The second order, Zygnematales, forms a series of early-branching clades in paraphyletic succession, with the two traditional families Mesotaeniaceae and Zygnemataceae not recovered as lineages. Instead, a long-branch Spirogyra/Sirogonium clade and the later-diverging Netrium and Roya clades represent independent clades. Within the order Desmidiales, the families Gonatozygaceae and Closteriaceae are monophyletic, whereas the Peniaceae (represented only by Penium margaritaceum) and the Desmidiaceae represent a single weakly supported lineage. Within the Desmidiaceae short internal branches and varying rates of sequence evolution among taxa reduce the phylogenetic resolution significantly. The SSU rDNA-based phylogeny is largely congruent with a published analysis of the rbcL phylogeny of the Zygnemophyceae (McCourt et al. 2000) and is also in general agreement with classification schemes based on cell wall ultrastructure. The extended taxon sampling at the subgenus level provides solid evidence that many genera in the Zygnemophyceae are not monophyletic and that the genus concept in the group needs to be revised.     

基于trnL-F序列探讨菵草植物的系统位置

以淡竹为外类群,用PAUP4.0b10软件采用最大简约法对菵草及其近缘植物的叶绿体trnL-F序列进行了系统发育分析,结果表明:(1)菵草和看麦娘聚成一小支,自展支持率为91%,说明两者之间亲缘关系较近。(2)菵草、看麦娘以及梯牧草与早熟禾族的早熟禾属、碱茅、硬草等聚合为一分支,得到了较高的支持率,而燕麦族的剪股颖属、拂子茅属、野青茅和棒头草组成另一分支,自展支持率为99%,分子证据支持菵草、看麦娘、梯牧草并入早熟禾族。因此,早熟禾族和燕麦族的范围需要重新界定。
