Abstract

The systematic position of Parashorea chinensis (Dipterocarpaceae) was investigated by using maximum parsimony analysis of nucleotide sequences of matK, trnL intron, and trnL-trnF intergenic spacer region of chloroplast DNA. Previous studies have placed the taxon in Parashorea or Shorea. Analyses indicate that P. chinensis belongs within Parashorea (80% bootstrap) rather than within Shorea. Furthermore, P. chinensis Wang Hsie and P. chinensis Wang Hsie var. kwangsiensis Lin Chi are further confirmed to be the same taxon.

... Molecular phylogenetic studies of Dipterocarpaceae have been performed by means of observation of chloroplast DNA by several authors. DNA sequences were studied at the rbcL gene , Morton et al. 1999, non-coding regions of the trnL intron, the trnL-trnF intergenic spacer region (Gamage et al. 2003, Kamiya et al. 1998) and at the matK gene (Kajita et al. 1998, Li et al. 2004).

In the present study, five genes / intergenic spacer regions that varied from about 1000 bps (psbA gene) up to 2500 bps (psaA gene) with a total sequence length of about 6600 bps have been analysed. ...
Molecular phylogeny of Dipterocarpaceae in Indonesia based on chloroplast DNA
Article
  • Oct 2006
In order to construct a molecular phylogeny of Indonesian Dipterocarpoideae (Dipterocarpaceae), PCR-RFLP of the chloroplast regions rbcL, petB, psbA, psaA, and trnL-F was performed with seven restriction enzymes in 129 samples including 58 species from nine genera. In the strict consensus tree with Monotes kerstingii as outgroup Indonesian Dipterocarpaceae were divided into two major clades. One clade (bootstrap value=71) consisted of Upuna, Cotylelobium, Anisoptera, Vatica, Dipterocarpus (tribe Dipterocarpeae, bootstrap value=83) and Dryobalanops (tribe Shoreae, bootstrap value=99) in a basal position. The second clade consisted of Hopea, Parashorea, and Shorea (tribe Shoreae) with 95% bootstrap support. Tribe Dipterocarpeae is monophyletic, tribe Shoreae is polyphyletic since Dryobalanops is sister to tribe Dipterocarpeae. In the neighbour-joining tree the sister group position of Dryobalanops to tribe Dipterocarpeae is not supported by the bootstrap analysis. Alternatively, we used Upuna borneensis as outgroup. The effect of outgroup selection on tree topology, taxonomic classification and the interpretation of character evolution is discussed.

Exploring evolution and diversity of Chinese Dipterocarpaceae using next-generation sequencing
Article
Full-text available
  • Aug 2019
Tropical forests, a key-category of land ecosystems, are faced with the world’s highest levels of habitat conversion and associated biodiversity loss. In tropical Asia, Dipterocarpaceae are one of the economically and ecologically most important tree families, but their genomic diversity and evolution remain understudied, hampered by a lack of available genetic resources. Southern China represents the northern limit for Dipterocarpaceae, and thus changes in habitat ecology, community composition and adaptability to climatic conditions are of particular interest in this group. Phylogenomics is a tool for exploring both biodiversity and evolutionary relationships through space and time using plastome, nuclear and mitochondrial genome. We generated full plastome and Nuclear Ribosomal Cistron (NRC) data for Chinese Dipterocarpaceae species as a first step to improve our understanding of their ecology and evolutionary relationships. We generated the plastome of Dipterocarpus turbinatus, the species with the widest distribution using it as a baseline for comparisons with other taxa. Results showed low level of genomic diversity among analysed range-edge species, and different evolutionary history of the incongruent NRC and plastome data. Genomic resources provided in this study will serve as a starting point for future studies on conservation and sustainable use of these dominant forest taxa, phylogenomics and evolutionary studies.

... Because phylogeny may influence the process of resorption (Killingbeck 1996), we conducted a phylogenetically independent contrast (PIC) analysis to test whether these phenotypic relationships are evolutionarily correlated (Felsenstein 1985). Phylogenetic affiliation among six genera (Fig. S1 in Supplementary Information) was constructed based on published DNA sequences (Gamage et al. 2003;Li, He & Xu 2004). Any polytomy, if present, within a genus was further resolved through a combination of DNA sequences and trait similarity. ...
Nutrient resorption is associated with leaf vein density and growth performance of dipterocarp tree species
Article
Full-text available
Nutrient resorption is important for the nutrient budget of plants, but little is known about which plant traits mediate nutrient resorption, how resorption efficiency is associated with other leaf traits and whether nutrient resorption has an impact on plant growth. In this study, 17 dipterocarp tree species were compared in a common garden experiment. N and P resorption efficiencies were regressed against suites of traits associated with phloem transport capacity (i.e. leaf vein density; D vein ), leaf nutrient conservation traits (e.g. leaf mass per area; LMA ) and species growth rate. Across the dipterocarp species studied, N resorption efficiency (percentage N resorbed) was positively correlated with D vein and leaf thickness. N resorption efficiency was also correlated with D vein after considering phylogenetic effects. N resorption proficiency (N remaining in senesced leaves) was negatively correlated with D vein , LMA , leaf thickness and palisade and spongy mesophyll thickness. Senesced‐leaf N concentration was still negatively correlated with LMA and leaf thickness after considering phylogenetic effects. N resorption efficiency was positively correlated with both height and diameter growth rates. After considering phylogenetic effect, N resorption efficiency was marginally correlated with diameter growth rate. Green‐leaf N concentration was positively correlated with height growth rate after considering phylogenetic effect. P resorption efficiency and proficiency were not related to any of the leaf morphological and anatomical traits, or to species growth rates. Synthesis . These results indicate that higher phloem transport capacity of the dipterocarp species is positively correlated with greater N resorption efficiency and that N resorption proficiency is closely linked with leaf nutrient conservation traits. Growth rates of the dipterocarps are more likely governed by photosynthetic rates associated with green‐leaf N concentration than N resorption rates per se. Although P is generally deficient in tropical soils, it appears that N rather than P availability is the key limiting factor for the growth of the dipterocarp species.

... On the DCA diagram, the cogeneric species were packed fairly close together, with species from Vatica scattered at the opposite end of the scatter plot in comparison with Dipterocarpus and Shorea (Fig. 5b). This spatial distribution of the dipterocarp species in the DCA diagram corresponds to their positions in the phylogenetic consensus tree constructed using chloroplast DNA sequences (Kajita et al. 1998;Gamage et al. 2003;Li et al. 2004; also see Fig. S1). These results suggest that stem hydraulic characteristics and their association with leaf functional traits and plant growth are phylogenetically conserved. ...
Stem hydraulics mediates leaf water status, carbon gain, nutrient use efficiencies and plant growth rates across dipterocarp species
Article
Full-text available
Stem vascular system strongly influences structure and functioning of leaves, life‐history, and distribution of plants. Xylem structure and hydraulic conductivity of branches, leaf functional traits, and growth rates in 17 dipterocarp species in a mature plantation stand were examined to explore the functional relationships between these traits. Maximum hydraulic conductivity on the bases of both sapwood and leaf area ( k L ) were positively correlated with midday leaf water potential in the rainy season, stomatal conductance, area‐based maximum photosynthetic rate, photosynthetic N (PNUE) and P use efficiencies (PPUE), and mean height and diameter growth rates. Moreover, k L was positively correlated with mesophyll thickness and mass‐based maximum photosynthetic rate. These results revealed the mechanistic linkage between stem hydraulics and leaf photosynthesis through nutrient use efficiency and mesophyll development of leaves. A detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) using 37 traits showed that the traits related to stem hydraulics and leaf carbon gain were loaded on the first axis whereas traits related to light harvesting were loaded on the second axis, indicating that light harvesting is a distinct ecological axis for tropical canopy plants. The DCA also revealed a trade‐off between photosynthetic water use efficiency and hydraulic conductivity along with PNUE and PPUE. The congeneric species were scattered fairly close together on the DCA diagram, indicating that the linkages between stem hydraulics, leaf functional traits, and plant growth rates are phylogenetically conserved. These results suggest that stem hydraulics mediates leaf water status, carbon gain, nutrient use efficiencies, and growth rates across the dipterocarp species. The wide variation in functional traits and growth rates among these dipterocarp species along with the trade‐offs mentioned above provide a possible explanation for their co‐existence in tropical forest communities.

Parashorea chinensis Wang Hsie and P. chinensis var. kwangsiensis Lin Chi: Two exceptional cases of names with a corporate authorship
Article
  • Aug 2011
Parashorea chinensis Wang Hsie and Parashorea chinensis var. kwangsiensis Lin Chi (Dipterocarpaceae) are economically and ecologically important tree taxa in China and Vietnam. Their authorship should be "Wang Hsie" and "Lin Chi", respectively, which represent two logograms of working groups that existed in the particular circumstances from the 1960s to the 1970s in China. The author of Parashorea chinensis has sometimes been designated inappropriately as H. Wang. We herein discuss in detail these two unique cases in the context of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature.

Concept versus data in delimitation of plant genera
Article
Full-text available
  • Nov 2009
As a consequence of there being several ways in which observed patterns of variation in nature can be conveyed in a generic classification, long recognised genera have changed in size over time. The generic rank has its origins in folk taxonomy, where genera were homogenous units of relatively few kinds. In the era of Bentham there was a widespread preference for large genera, many of which were split during the 20th century. In a survey of contemporary (1998-2007) generic delimitation practice we found a significant dichotomy between studies that incorporate molecular data and those that rely exclusively on morphological data. The former lead to delimitation of larger genera whereas the latter in general do not. This finding spurred a broader investigation into what drives changes in overall generic sizes, new data sources or new concepts? Two new data types have been introduced during the course of history: detailed morphology (anatomy, cytology) and chemical data (amino acid and DNA sequence data). Conceptual development has seen several turns: from language and communication, through memory and stability, to evolution and monophyly. We argue that conceptual change has a greater impact than changes in data do, since new data must be interpreted and translated into a classification and since conceptual changes may spur a search for new kinds of data. We conclude that the current trend toward recognising larger genera is a result of a return to study on a broad scale, rather than of incorporation of molecular data.

matK DNA Sequences and Phylogenetic Reconstruction in Saxifragaceae s. str.
Article
Full-text available
  • Jan 1994
Comparative DNA sequencing of matK, a maturase coding gene located within the intron of the chloroplast gene trnK, was evaluated for phylogenetic utility using genera of Saxifragaceae s. str. The entire matK gene was sequenced for two members of the family, Sullivantia sullivantii and Saxifraga integrifolia. Comparison of base substitution rates between these two species indicated that matK evolves approximately three-fold faster than rbcL. Comparative sequencing of 754 base pairs within matK was subsequently conducted using 25 genera in Saxifragaceae s. str. and two outgroup taxa. Summed over the 31 taxa sequenced for this 754 base pair region, 40% of the base positions were variable and 15.6% were potentially informative. Five insertion/deletion events of three or six base pairs were also detected. Skewness and randomization tests both suggest that significant non-random structure is present in the matK data set. Parsimony analyses provided 72 most parsimonious trees of 223 steps (excluding autapomorphies) with a consistency index of 0.565. Several well-supported groups of genera are highly concordant with relationships suggested by two other chloroplast DNA data sets: chloroplast DNA restriction sites and rbcL sequences.

Molecular phylogeny of Dipterocarp Species Using Nucleotide Sequences of Two Non-coding Regions in Chloroplast DNA
Article
  • Jan 1998
A total of 53 dipterocarp species belonging to ten genera were studied to examine phylogenetic relationships using the sequences of two non-coding regions in chloroplast DNA. Phylogenetic analysis showed the Selangan Batu, Yellow Meranti and White Meranti of the genus Shorea were monophyletic, while the Red Meranti was divided into three natural clades. The relationships in the Red Meranti could not be ascertained because of an insufficient number of nucleotide substitutions. The White Meranti was clustered with sect. Pelltacme and situated in an outer position of the genus Hopea, Neobalallocarpus and Parashorea although the bootstrap probability was not high. Two of the three deciduous Shorea species collected in Thailand, one belonging to White Meranti and the other to sect. Pelltacme based on morphological and anatomical evidence, were found to constitute a monophyletic group clustering with the other White Meranties. The third species in the Selangan Batu was clustered with the other Selangan Batus. This suggests that the deciduous character in the genus Shorea has evolved independently in different lineages. The divergence within sections of the genus Shorea was largest in sect. Mutica and smallest in sect. Richetioides. The genera Shorea and Hopea were more divergent than the other genera. These results suggest that they are the groups of phylogenetically more diversified species.

Intraspecific sequence variation of chloroplast DNA in Pedicularis Chamissonis Steven (Scrophulariaceae) and geographic structuring of the Japanese “Alpine” plants
Article
  • Jun 1997
In order to clarify evolutionary patterns and processes of intraspecific diversification ofPedicularis chamissonis Steven, we analyzed intraspecific variation of the nucleotide sequences of non-coding regions of chloroplast DNA: the intergenic spacers betweentrnT (UGU) andtrnL (UAA) 5′exon,trnL (UAA) 3′exon andtrnF (GAA), andatpB andrbcL. In 24 populations ofP. chamissonis, 33 nucleotide substitutions and 12 insertions/deletions were inferred, and their genetic distances ranged from 0.001 to 0.014. Seventeen distinct cpDNA haplotypes could be recognized and each haplotype was found to be geographically structured. Two major clades (the Northern and Southern clades) were revealed in phylogenetic analyses of cpDNA haplotypes. The haplotypes of the Northern clade had a wider distribution area in the populations of Mts. lide of central Honshu in Japan, northward to Unalaska Island in the Aleutians. Relationships among most haplotypes were unresolved polytomies. On the other hand, the haplotypes of the Southern clade occurred from the populations of Mt. Gassan southwards to Mt. Arakawa of central Honshu. Within this clade, three subclades were clearly recognized. From these results, we concluded that the haplotypes of the Northern and Southern clades inP. chamissonis might have traveled down to Japanese Archipelago from the north in not a single glacial period.
