Molecular phylogeny and taxonomy of the Hydrangeaserrata complex (Hydrangeaceae) in western Japan, including a new subspecies of H.acuminata from Yakushima.

ABSTRACT: According to the contemporary classification of Hydrangea native to Japan, H.serrata is a polymorphic species including six varieties. We discovered a plant identified as H.serrata, but morphologically distinct from previously known varieties, in Yakushima island where approximately 50 endemic species are known. To determine the relationship of this plant with previously known varieties, we examined morphology and constructed a highly resolved phylogeny of H.serrata and its relatives using three chloroplast genomic regions, rbcL, trnL intron, psbA-trnH, and two nuclear genomic regions, ITS1 and ITS2, and Multiplex ISSR genotyping by sequencing (MIG-seq). Based on these morphological and phylogenetic observations, we describe Hydrangeaacuminatasubsp.yakushimensissubsp. nov. as a newly discovered lineage in Yakushima, Japan and propose Hydrangeaminamitanii stat. nov. and Hydrangeaacuminatasubsp.australisstat. nov. which were previously treated as varieties of H.serrata.

Project description:Accurate differentiation and identification of flea species are essential for both basic and applied research on fleas, as well as for the diagnosis of flea-borne diseases. However, distinguishing between flea species can be challenging, especially among those with minimal morphological differences. Therefore, some scholars have suggested the necessity of comprehensive revisions to the classification of fleas, incorporating morphological, molecular, and phylogenetic data. In this study, we focused on classifying the rodents' parasitic fleas in southeastern China and provided molecular and phylogenetic data. We also described a new subspecies Ctenophthalmus breviprojiciens fujiansis n. ssp. A total of 392 fleas were collected from 8 species of rodents in 10 counties. Morphologically, they belonged to 10 species, 9 genera and 5 families. Barcode identification based on COI gene and phylogenetic analysis based on five genetic markers (18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, EF-1a, COI, COII) revealed that the molecular and morphological identification of Xenopsylla cheopis, Aviostivalius klossi bispiniformis, Leptopsylla segnis, Monopsyllus anisus and Ctenocephalides felis felis were consistent. The taxonomic status of Neopsylla specialis minpiensis and Peromyscopsylla himalaica sinica as subspecies is questionable due to significant intraspecific genetic distance, and further morphological and molecular data are required to determine if they should be elevated to species level. The molecular identification of C. breviprojiciens n. ssp., N. dispar fukienensis, and Nosopsyllus nicanus could not be completed at this time due to a lack of sequences for related species in existing GenBank databases. Additionally, phylogenetic relationships of 31 species from 9 genera and 5 families of Siphonaptera were inferred based on five molecular markers (18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, EF-1a, COI and COII) using Maximum Likelihood analyses. The analyses revealed that various taxa of Siphonaptera are monophyletic at the subspecies, species, and genus levels. However, at the family level, Leptopsyllidae, Ceratophyllidae, Pulicidae, and Pygiopsyllidae are all monophyletic, while Ctenophthalmidae is paraphyletic. we support the view of some authors that revising the catchall group Ctenophthalmidae and elevating each of its constituent subfamilies to family status.

Project description:The wood-inhabiting fungi play an integral role in wood degradation and the cycle of matter in the ecological system. They are considered as the "key player" in wood decomposition, because of their ability to produce lignocellulosic enzymes that break down woody lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. In the present study, four new wood-inhabiting fungal species, Adustochaetealbomarginata, Ad.punctata, Alloexidiopsisgrandinea and Al.xantha collected from southern China, are proposed, based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence. Adustochaetealbomarginata is characterised by resupinate basidiomata with cream to buff, a smooth, cracked, hymenial surface, a monomitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae and subcylindrical to allantoid basidiospores (12-17.5 × 6.5-9 µm). Adustochaetepunctata is characterised by resupinate basidiomata with cream, a smooth, punctate hymenial surface, a monomitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae and subcylindrical to allantoid basidiospores (13.5-18 × 6-8.2 µm). Alloexidiopsisgrandinea is characterised by resupinate basidiomata with buff to slightly yellowish, a grandinioid hymenial surface, a monomitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae and allantoid basidiospores (10-12.3 × 5-5.8 µm). Additionally, Alloexidiopsisxantha is characterised by resupinate basidiomata with cream to slightly buff, a smooth hymenial surface, a monomitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae and subcylindrical to allantoid basidiospores measuring 20-24 × 5-6.2 µm. Sequences of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) and the large subunit (nrLSU) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) markers of the studied samples were generated. Phylogenetic analyses were performed with the Maximum Likelihood, Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian Inference methods. The phylogram, based on the ITS+nLSU rDNA gene regions, revealed that four new species were assigned to the genera Adustochaete and Alloexidiopsis within the order Auriculariales, individually. The phylogenetic tree inferred from the ITS sequences highlighted that Ad.albomarginata was retrieved as a sister to Ad.yunnanensis and the species Ad.punctata was sister to Ad.rava. The topology, based on the ITS sequences, showed that Al.grandinea was retrieved as a sister to Al.schistacea and the taxon Al.xantha formed a monophyletic lineage. Furthermore, two identification keys to Adustochaete and Alloexidiopsis worldwide are provided.
