Phylogenetic Relationships of Solanum Series Conicibaccata and Related Species in Solanum Section Petota Inferred from Five Conserved Ortholog Sequences

Despite their unmatched popularity in many research areas, microsatellites have not yet become a major tool for the inference of genealogical relationships of closely related species. Recent studies have successfully extended the repertoire of microsatellite analysis beyond population genetics and demonstrate that phylogenetic relationships of closely related species can be inferred accurately with fewer loci than previously assumed.

A New Species

The genus Minuartia is represented in Turkey by 34 taxa. Some interesting specimens were collected from Antalya province, and examined. These specimens resemble Minuartia meyeri, and M. multinervis from which differ by characters (macro-, and micromorphological) of inflorescence, alar pedicels, petals, sepals, capsules and seeds. Moreover, by using the DNA sequences of the ITS genes, phylogenetic relationships between this collected species, and the related species were investigated. As a result of the evaluation of molecular, and morphological data, we proposed to described the population from Antalya as a new species for the science. A description, pictures, distribution, habitat, and IUCN category are given.

Wild Potatoes

Species of the genus Solanum usually possess pedicels with a floral abscission zone, which is designated the "articulation" or "joint." A distinct group of tuber-bearing wild potatoes, series Acaulia, is characterized by an indistinct or completely absent articulation. The anatomy of pedicels without articulation is compared with that of articulated pedicels. No abscission zone is observed in pedicels without an articulation, a situation found in the tetraploids Solanum acaule Bitter ssp. acaule and S. acaule ssp. punae (Juz.) Hawkes & Hjert. The hexaploids Solanum albicans (Ochoa) Ochoa and S. acaule ssp. palmirense Kardolus of series Acaulia have an anatomically incompletely differentiated abscission zone. Solanum acaule ssp. aemulans (Bitter & Wittm.) Hawkes & Hjert. (2n = 48) has articulated pedicels and a floral abscission zone. The absence of a floral abscission zone is presumably a recessive trait. The special features of pedicel articulation in series Acaulia are discussed in relation to the "jointless" mutations in tomato. The position of the articulation on the pedicel is concluded to be less significant for taxonomy than generally considered.Key words: Solanaceae, Solanum acaule, anatomy, "jointless" mutation, pedicel articulation, taxonomy.

Chromosomal Sequence

SummaryThe extent of accumulation of mouse Y chromosomal repetitive sequences generally correlates with the known phylogenetic relationships in the genus Mus. However, we describe here a M. musculus Y chromosomal repetitive sequence, designated as ACClfl, whose accumulation patterns among eight Mus species do not correspond to their phylogenetic relationships. Although male-specific hybridization bands were present in all the species examined, significant accumulation (> 200 copies) in the Y chromosomes was found in M. minutoides (subgenus Nannomys), M. pahari (subgenus Coelomys) and M. saxicola (subgenus Pyromys) as well as in the three closely related species M. hortulanus, M. musculus and M. spretus that belong to the subgenus Mus. Unexpectedly, the Y chromosomes of M. caroli and M. cookii (both subgenus Mus) had considerably reduced amounts of ACClfl-related sequences. Furthermore, in rats (Rattus norvegicus) the major accumulation sites appear to be autosomal. These observations suggest that caution must be taken in the interpretation of data obtained with repetitive sequences that have evolved quickly.

Eleven Species

The species of Orientopsaltria with unicolorous opercula and three related species of Platylomia are transferred to the genus Dundubia and allocated in the ‘Dundubia jacoona assemblage’ pending further investigation. The assemblage comprises eleven species in total; all are found in the Indo-Malaysian Archipelago, Indo-China, and the adjoining parts of China and India. The four species which were until now placed in Orientopsaltria are D. feae (Distant, 1892), D. jacoona (Distant, 1888), D. nigripes (Moulton, 1923), and D. oopaga (Distant, 1881). The three species transferred from Platylomia are D. hainanensis (Distant, 1901), D. nagarasingna Distant, 1881, and D. spiculata Noualhier, 1896. These seven species are all redescribed. Four species are described as new: D. ayutthaya, D. laterocurvata, D. myitkyinensis and D. sinbyudaw. Seven species are synonymized: O. andersoni (Distant, 1883) with D. oopaga, D. bifasciata Liu, 1940 with D. hainanensis, O. hastata (Moulton, 1923) and D. siamensis Haupt, 1918 with D. spiculata, O. fratercula (Distant, 1912) and D. helena Distant, 1912 with D. nagarasingna, and D. longina Distant, 1917 with D. feae. Lectotypes are designated for the following species: Cosmopsaltria andersoni, C.feae, C. fratercula, C. hastata, C. nagarasingna, C. nigripes, C. oopaga, D. helena, D. longina, and D. spiculata. A key to the males is presented and the distributions of the species are discussed. The relationships of the D. jacoona assemblage with Dundubia, Platylomia, and the remaining species of Orientopsaltria are discussed. The species of the D. jacoona assemblage most likely do not form a monophyletic group on their own but rather with Dundubia s. str.
