Rediscovery of the lost little dogwood Cornus wardiana (Cornaceae)-Its phylogenetic and morphological distinction and implication in the origin of the Arctic-Sino-Himalayan disjunction

By: E. Wahlsteen*, W. Zhou n, Q. Xiang n & K. Rushforth

author keywords: circumboreal-Himalayan disjunction; Cornus; morphometry; new species; phylogeny
TL;DR: The results suggest that the dwarf dogwood lineage split from the big‐bracted dogwoods in Asia or Asia‐western North America during the late Paleocene and spread widely to form a Eurasia‐North America distribution; the Arctic‐Sino‐Himalayan disjunction was the result of southward migration in the Miocene followed by extinction in the intervening highland areas.

Contributors: J. Liu n, R. Franks n, C. Feng n, X. Liu n, C. Fu* & Q. Xiang n

author keywords: Cornus; dogwood; inflorescence evolution; LFY homologues; CorLFY expression; RTPCR; in situ hybridization

Microsatellite analysis of a broad hybrid zone in Aesculus (Sapindales) – Inferences in genetic structure and evolution

International Journal of Plant Sciences, 169(5), 647–657.

author keywords: aesculus; hybrid zone; ISSR; long-distance gene flow; microsatellites
TL;DR: The data from this study and previous allozyme and chloroplast DNA studies indicate that both historical localized gene flow and recurrent long‐distant gene flow have contributed to the existence of the hybrid zone, that is, its origin via historical localized genes flow, while its maintenance involves ongoing long‐distance pollen dispersal.

TL;DR: It is inferred that Aesculus originated during the transition from the Cretaceous to the Tertiary (~65 M.Y.B.P.) at a high latitude in eastern Asia and spread into North America and Europe as an element of the “boreotropical flora”; the current disjunct distribution of the genus resulted from geological and climatic changes during theTertiary.

TL;DR: The cpDNA restriction site data correlate closely with the evolution of chromosome number, morphology, and phytochemistry, and most notably, the chromosome number of n = 10 evolved twice in Cornuis, and the small, non-petaloid bracts in C. disciflora apparently represent a reversal to the non-showy state.

By: Q. Xiang*, D. Soltis, D. Morgan & P. Soltis

TL;DR: A parsimony analysis of 46 rbcL sequences was performed to evaluate relationships among Cornus and putative relatives, as well as among subgroups within Cornus, and indicates that Alangium, nyssoids, mastixioids, Curtisia, and genera of Hydrangeaceae are the closest relatives of Cornus.

Phylogenetics of Seed Plants: An Analysis of Nucleotide Sequences from the Plastid Gene rbcL

Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden, 80(3), 528.

TL;DR: Two exploratory parsimony analyses of DNA sequences from 475 and 499 species of seed plants, respectively, representing all major taxonomic groups indicate that rbcL sequence variation contains historical evidence appropriate for phylogenetic analysis at this taxonomic level of sampling.
