Abstract: | Kengyilia is a perennial genus distributing in central and western Asia. Here, the levels of nucleotide diversity for COXII intron were obtained. The estimates of nucleotide diversity for different genome constitution ranged from θ = 0.00082 and π = 0.00082 for St genome species to π = 0.01227 and θ = 0.01229 for P genome species. Employing COXII intron sequences, the phylogenetic relationships within Kengyilia and between Kengyilia genus and its closely related genera were examined. The Maximum Parsimony analysis demonstrated that Kengyilia species were positioned into two clades corresponding to different maternal genomic donor. Kengyilia stenachyra, Kengyilia grandiglumis, Kengyilia hirsuta, Kengyilia melanthera, Kengyilia thoroldiana, Kengyilia alatavica and Kengyilia zhaosuensis were related to species of Agropyron, while Kengyilia kokonorica, Kengyilia rigidula, Kengyilia nana, Kengyilia mutica, Kengyilia longiglumis, Kengyilia laxiflora and Kengyilia gobicola were close to species of Roegneria and Pseudoroegneria. In addition, other three species of Kengyilia, such as Kengyilia batalinii, Kengyilia tahelacana and Kengyilia kaschgarica, were related to Douglasdeweya deweyi, Pseudoroegneria strigosa and Roegneria tibetica. This result indicated that there had been two phylogenetically divergent maternal donors within Kengyilia. Our new finding will help to understand the evolutionary history of the genus Kengyilia. |
