Molecular phylogeny of the operculated land snail family Pupinidae (Caenogastropoda, Cyclophoroidea) in mainland Southeast Asia

Zoologica Scripta, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Abstract The operculated land snail family Pupinidae from mainland Southeast Asia has been systematically revised based on shell morphology. Despite previous morphological studies, the evolutionary relationships within this remained unclear. This study represents first comprehensive molecular phylogeny of group, utilising two mitochondrial (COI and 16S rRNA) nuclear (5.8S rRNA + ITS2 28S genetic markers. Additionally, we conducted phylogenetic analyses Pupina species 1106 loci generated through double‐digest restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq). It turned out that Asian Pollicaria emerged as a sister clade to Central American Aperostoma Megalomastomatidae, leading resurrection Pollicariidae. Among remaining pupinid genera, Tortulosa was nested Coptocheilus clade, while Pupinella were not monophyletic. previously recognised arula group found be monophyletic reclassified into Tylotoechus (formerly subgenus), distinctive conchological characters such an extending parietal tooth callus wide, outward‐curving posterior canal. However, some retrieved monophyletic, suggesting presence multiple ‘cryptic species’. Divergence time estimation indicated split could date back Late Triassic Early Cretaceous, with diversification genera occurring during Middle Jurassic Cretaceous. successful reconstruction robust using ddRADseq demonstrates significant potential RADseq techniques in elucidating deeply divergent taxa. Further studies incorporating type destructus keraudrenii are necessary justify usage these genera.

The Divergence History of Two Japanese Torreya Taxa (Taxaceae): Implications for Species Diversification in the Japanese Archipelago

Plants, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(10), С. 1537 - 1537

Опубликована: Май 20, 2025

The Japanese archipelago as a continental island of the Eurasia continent and harboring high levels plant species diversity provides an ideal geographical setting for investigating vicariant allopatric speciation due to sea-level fluctuations associated with climatic oscillations during Quaternary. In this study, three chloroplast DNA regions 14 nuclear loci were sequenced 31 individuals from populations Torreya nucifera var. 52 T. radicans. Population genetic analyses (Network, STRUCTURE phylogeny) revealed that boundaries two varieties are distinct, differentiation (FST) 0.9619 in 0.6543 loci. relatively ancient divergence times between estimated 3.03 Ma by DIYABC 1.77 IMa2 when dated back late Pliocene early Pleistocene, respectively. extremely weak gene flow (2Nm = 0.1) was detected IMa2, which might be caused their population expansion since Pleistocene (~2.0 Ma) inferred Bayesian skyline plots DIYABC.

Peripatric speciation within Torreya fargesii (Taxaceae) in the Hengduan Mountains inferred from multi-loci phylogeography

BMC Ecology and Evolution, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 23(1)

Опубликована: Дек. 12, 2023

Abstract Background The Hengduan Mountains (HDM) are one of the major global biodiversity hotspots in world. Several evolutionary scenarios, especially in-situ diversification, have been proposed to account for high species richness temperate plants. However, peripatric speciation, an important mode allopatric has seldom reported this region. Results Here, two chloroplast DNA regions and 14 nuclear loci were sequenced 112 individuals from 10 populations Torreya fargesii var. 63 6 T. yunnanensis . Population genetic analyses revealed that varieties well differentiated genetically ( F ST , 0.5765) uneven diversity π 0.00221 vs. 0.00073 on average loci). gene genealogical relationship showed is inferred as derived which was further supported by coalescent simulations (DIYABC, fastsimcoal2 IMa2). By simulations, divergence time (~ 2.50–3.65 Ma) weak flow between detected. asymmetrical only occurred later stages divergence, caused second contact due population expansion 0.61 In addition, niche modeling indicated geographically ecologically unbalanced distribution range. Conclusions Overall, always parapatric with respect latter former peripatry HDM following a colonization central China during late Pliocene. Our findings demonstrate speciation dispersal events may be scenario formation hotspot HDM.

Phylogenetic Relationships and Next-Generation Barcodes in the Genus Torreya Reveal a High Proportion of Misidentified Cultivated Plants

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 24(17), С. 13216 - 13216

Accurate species identification is key to conservation and phylogenetic inference. Living plant collections from botanical gardens/arboretum are important resources for the purpose of scientific research, but proportion cultivated misidentification un-tested using DNA barcodes. Here, we assembled next-generation barcode (complete plastid genome complete nrDNA cistron) mitochondrial genes skimming data Torreya with multiple accessions each test discrimination plants used in studies. A total 38 were included analyses, representing all nine recognized genus Torreya. The phylogeny showed that 21 wild samples formed species-specific clades, except T. jiulongshanensis. Disregarding this putative hybrid, seven sampled here successfully discriminated by genome. Only nucifera grouped into two grades. rate cistron was 62.5%. Skmer analysis based on nuclear reads skims promise discriminated. misidentified arboreta/botanical gardens relatively high four (23.5%) three species. Interspecific relationships within fully resolved maximum support plastomes, where jackii earliest diverging branch, though sister grandis tree, suggesting likely a hybrid between an extinct ancestor lineage. findings provide quantitative insights usage study.

Abietane-Type Diterpenoids from the Arils of Torreya grandis

Molecules, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 29(9), С. 1905 - 1905

Опубликована: Апрель 23, 2024

A chemical investigation of the arils Torreya grandis led to isolation seven abietane-type diterpenoids (compounds 1–7) including three previously undescribed compounds, one unreported natural product, and known analogs. The structures these compounds were determined by means spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, ECD spectra. An antibacterial activity assay showed that 5 6 had significant inhibitory effects on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, with MIC values 100 μM. Moreover, 1, 3, 4, 7 exhibited anti-neuroinflammatory in LPS-stimulated BV-2 microglia cells, IC50 ranging from 38.4 67.9
