Chloroplast and microsatellite markers in Astronium urundeuva (Allemão) Engl. and close species of Anacardiaceae: toward the definition of a species complex? (original) (raw)

Phylogeny and new intrageneric classifion of Allium L. (Alliaceae) based on nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS sequences. Aliso

The internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA was sequenced from 195 representative species of Allium, two species of Nothoscordum, and one species each of Ipheion, Dichelostemma, and Tulbaghia. Within the Allium species the lengths of the ITS regions were in a range from 612 to 661 base pairs and pairwise genetic distances reached up to 46%. The ITS data supported the inclusion of Nectaroscordum, Caloscordum, and Milula into Allium. Subgenera Rhizir-ideum and Allium, as well as sects. Reticulatobulbosa and Oreiprason were non-monophyletic taxa. Based on the phylogenetic relations, a new classification of genus Allium consisting of 15 monophy-letic subgenera is presented. Sections Microscordum, Anguinum, Porphyroprason, Vvedenskya, Bu-tomissa, Cyathophora, and Reticulatobulbosa are raised to subgeneric rank.

PHYLOGENY AND NEW INTRAGENERIC CLASSIFICATION OF ALLIUM (ALLIACEAE) BASED ON NUCLEAR RIBOSOMAL DNA ITS SEQUENCES

Aliso, 2006

The internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal DNA was sequenced from 195 representative species of Allium, two species of Nothoscordum, and one species each of Ipheion, Dichelostemma, and Tulbaghia. Within the Allium species the lengths of the ITS regions were in a range from 612 to 661 base pairs and pairwise genetic distances reached up to 46%. The ITS data supported the inclusion of Nectaroscordum, Caloscordum, and Milula into Allium. Subgenera Rhizirideum and Allium, as well as sects. Reticulatobulbosa and Oreiprason were non-monophyletic taxa. Based on the phylogenetic relations, a new classification of genus Allium consisting of 15 monophyletic subgenera is presented. Sections Microscordum, Anguinum, Porphyroprason, Vvedenskya, Butomissa, Cyathophora, and Reticulatobulbosa are raised to subgeneric rank. Sections Austromontana N. Friesen, Eduardia N. Friesen, Mediasia F. O. Khassanov, S. C. Yengalycheva et N. Friesen, Nigrimontana N. Friesen, Falcatifolia N. Friesen, and Condensatum N. Friesen are newly described.
