Abstract
Endemic to Taiwan Province, China, Cotoneaster rosiflorus Kun-Cheng Chang & Fu-Yuan Lu 2011 (Rosaceae) holds significant ecological and ornamental importance. Despite its value, research on its molecular data and phylogenetic position has remained limited. In this study, we addressed this gap by sequencing the genome-skimming data, assembling its plastome, and investigating its phylogenetic position. The plastome, spanning 159,449 bp in length, consisted of a large single-copy (87,433 bp), a small single-copy (19,262 bp), and two inverted repeat regions (26,377 bp). We annotated a total of 128 functional genes, including 84 protein-coding genes, 36 transfer genes, and eight ribosomal RNA genes. The phylogenetic results indicated that C. rosiflorus is closely related to C. dammerii, suggesting that C. rosiflorus might have captured its chloroplast from C. dammerii through hybridization and introgression events. This study offered valuable insights for forthcoming phylogenetic and population genetic investigations of Cotoneaster.

Abstract
This study addresses the longstanding absence of a comprehensive phylogenetic backbone for the apple tribe Maleae, a deficiency attributed to limited taxon and marker sampling. We conducted an extensive taxon sampling, incorporating 563 plastomes from a diverse range of 370 species encompassing 26 presently recognized genera. Employing a range of phylogenetic inference methods, including RAxML and IQ-TREE2 for Maximum Likelihood (ML) analyses, we established a robust phylogenetic framework for the Maleae tribe. Our phylogenomic investigations provided compelling support for three major clades within Maleae. By integrating nuclear phylogenetic data with morphological and chromosomal evidence, we propose an updated infra-tribal taxonomic system, comprising subtribe Malinae Reveal, subtribe Lindleyinae Reveal, and subtribe Vauqueliniinae B.B.Liu (subtr. nov.). Plastid phylogenetic analysis also confirmed the monophyly of most genera, except for Amelanchier, Malus, Sorbus sensu lato, and Stranvaesia. In addition, we present a comprehensive taxonomic synopsis of Photinia and its morphological allies in the Old World, recognizing 27 species and ten varieties within Photinia, three species and two varieties within Stranvaesia, and two species and three varieties within Weniomeles. Furthermore, we also lectotypified 12 names and made two new combinations, Photiniamicrophylla (J.E.Vidal) B.B.Liu and Weniomelesatropurpurea (P.L.Chiu ex Z.H.Chen & X.F.Jin) B.B.Liu.

Abstract
In Rosaceae, the replacement of the traditional four-subfamily division (Amygdaloideae or Prunoideae, Maloideae, Rosoideae, and Spiraeoideae) by the three-subfamily division (Dryadoideae, Rosoideae, and Amygdaloideae), the circumscription, systematic position, and phylogeny of genera in Maleae need to be reconsidered. The study aimed to circumscribe Maleae, pinpoint its systematic position, and evaluate the status of all generally accepted genera in the tribe using complete chloroplast genome data. Results indicated that Maleae consisted of pome-bearing genera that belonged to Maloideae as well as four genera (Gillenia, Kageneckia, Lindleya, and Vauquelinia) that were formerly considered to be outside Maloideae. The tribe could be subdivided into four subtribes: Gilleniinae (Gillenia), Lindleyinae (Kageneckia and Lindleya), Vaugueliniinae (Vauquelinia), and Malinae (all other genera; the core Maleae). Among the 36 recognized genera, Aria, Docyniopsis, Chamaemespilus, and Mespilus were not considered distinct and more research is needed to determine the taxonomic status of Rhaphiolepis from Eriobotrya. Within the core Maleae, five groups were revealed, whereas Sorbus L. was split as its members belonged to different groups.

Abstract
Malus × adstringens Zabel 'Hopa' is an important crabapple cultivar with significant ornamental value. Here, we assembled its complete chloroplast (cp) genome using the next-generation sequencing technology to clarify the phylogenetic relationships in Malus. The total length of the complete chloroplast genome was 160,230 base pairs (bp) with a GC content of 36.50%, consisting of a large single-copy (LSC) region with a sequence length of 88,310 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region with a sequence length of 19,196 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,362 bp. The complete chloroplast genome contained 128 genes, namely 84 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. In addition, 73 SSRs were found in the M. 'Hopa' cp genome. The phylogenetic relationship of M. 'Hopa' in Malus is closely related to M. spectabilis (Aiton) Borkh. and then to M. sieversii (Lebed.) M. Roem. Our results demonstrate that it is feasible to resolve the phylogenetic relationships of crabapple cultivars and identify their putative maternal lineages using cp genomic data.

Abstract
Myricaria plants are widely distributed in Eurasia and are helpful for windbreak and embankment protection. Current molecular evidence has led to controversy regarding species boundaries within the Myricaria genus and interspecific phylogenetic relationships between three specific species-M. bracteata, M. paniculata and M. squamosa-which have remained unresolved. This study treated these three unresolved taxa as a species complex, named the M. squamosa complex. The genome skimming approach was used to determine 35 complete plastome sequences and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences for the said complex and other closely related species, followed by de novo assembly. Comparative analyses were conducted across Myricaria to identify the genome size, gene content, repeat type and number, SSR (simple sequence repeat) abundance, and codon usage bias of chloroplast genomes. Tree-based species delimitation results indicated that M. bracteata, M. paniculata and M. squamosa could not be distinguished and formed two monophyletic lineages (P1 and P2) that were clustered together. Compared to plastome-based species delimitation, the standard nuclear DNA barcode had the lowest species resolution, and the standard chloroplast DNA barcode and group-specific barcodes delimitated a maximum of four out of the five species. Plastid phylogenomics analyses indicated that the monophyletic M. squamosa complex is comprised of two evolutionarily significant units: one in the western Tarim Basin and the other in the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This finding contradicts previous species discrimination and promotes the urgent need for taxonomic revision of the threatened genus Myricaria. Dense sampling and plastid genomes will be essential in this effort. The super-barcodes and specific barcode candidates outlined in this study will aid in further studies of evolutionary history.

Mol Phylogenet Evol 2023; 189:107914. [PMID: 37666378 DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2023.107914] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023]
Abstract
Phylogenetic studies in the phylogenomics era have demonstrated that reticulate evolution greatly impedes the accuracy of phylogenetic inference, and consequently can obscure taxonomic treatments. However, the systematics community lacks a broadly applicable strategy for taxonomic delimitation in groups characterized by pervasive reticulate evolution. The red-fruit genus, Stranvaesia, provides an ideal model to examine the influence of reticulation on generic circumscription, particularly where hybridization and allopolyploidy dominate the evolutionary history. In this study, we conducted phylogenomic analyses integrating data from hundreds of single-copy nuclear (SCN) genes and plastomes, and interrogated nuclear paralogs to clarify the inter/intra-generic relationship of Stranvaesia and its allies in the framework of Maleae. Analyses of phylogenomic discord and phylogenetic networks showed that allopolyploidization and introgression promoted the origin and diversification of the Stranvaesia clade, a conclusion further bolstered by cytonuclear and gene tree discordance. With a well-inferred phylogenetic backbone, we propose an updated generic delimitation of Stranvaesia and introduce a new genus, Weniomeles. This new genus is distinguished by its purple-black fruits, thorns trunk and/or branches, and a distinctive fruit core anatomy characterized by multilocular separated by a layer of sclereids and a cluster of sclereids at the top of the locules. Through this study, we highlight a broadly-applicable workflow that underscores the significance of reticulate evolution analyses in shaping taxonomic revisions from phylogenomic data.

Abstract
Cotoneasterdensiflorus, a new species of Rosaceae from western Sichuan, China, is described and illustrated. Morphologically, we inferred that the new species belongs to CotoneasterSer.Salicifolii sensu Yü et al. (1974) in the Flora of China and Fryer and Hylmö (2009). This species is most similar to C.salicifolius, but differs in its leaf blade of ovate-lanceolate to obovate shape (vs. elliptic-oblong to ovate-lanceolate), smaller length-width ratio of 2.37 ± 0.31 (vs. 3.17 ± 0.32), slightly conduplicate (vs. not conduplicate), less lateral veins of 6-8 pairs (vs. 12-16 pairs), upper surface slightly rugose (vs. rugose), leaf margin plane (vs. revolute), lower surface densely grey tomentose (vs. grey tomentose, with bloom), greater corolla diameter of 7-9 mm (vs. 5-6 mm), styles 2 (vs. 2-3), pyrenes 2 (vs. 2-3), larger pollen grains P/E values of 2.05 ± 0.12 (vs. 1.19 ± 0.05) and leaf epidermis type W (vs. type I). Based on phylogenetic analysis of the whole chloroplast genome, C.densiflorus is sister to C.rhytidophyllus, but distantly related to C.salicifolius.

Abstract
Docynia has been treated as a separate genus or merged into Cydonia or Docyniopsis. Our phylogenomic evidence from 797 single-copy nuclear genes and plastomes confirmed the sister relationship between Docynia and Docyniopsis. By integrating the phylogenomic and morphological evidence, we propose to accept a broad generic concept of Malus and merge Docynia into Malus. Three new combinations are also made here: Malusdelavayi (Franch.) B.B.Liu, M.indica (Wall.) B.B.Liu and M.longiunguis (Q.Luo & J.L.Liu) B.B.Liu.

Su N, Hodel RG, Wang X, Wang JR, Xie SY, Gui CX, Zhang L, Chang ZY, Zhao L, Potter D, Wen J. Molecular phylogeny and inflorescence evolution of Prunus (Rosaceae) based on RAD-seq and genome skimming analyses. PLANT DIVERSITY 2023; 45:397-408. [PMID: 37601549 PMCID: PMC10435964 DOI: 10.1016/j.pld.2023.03.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Revised: 03/29/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023]
Abstract
Prunus is an economically important genus widely distributed in the temperate Northern Hemisphere. Previous studies on the genus using a variety of loci yielded conflicting phylogenetic hypotheses. Here, we generated nuclear reduced representation sequencing data and plastid genomes for 36 Prunus individuals and two outgroups. Both nuclear and plastome data recovered a well-resolved phylogeny. The species were divided into three main clades corresponding to their inflorescence types, - the racemose group, the solitary-flower group and the corymbose group - with the latter two sister to one another. Prunus was inferred to have diversified initially in the Late Cretaceous around 67.32 million years ago. The diversification of the three major clades began between the Paleocene and Miocene, suggesting that paleoclimatic events were an important driving force for Prunus diversification. Ancestral state reconstructions revealed that the most recent common ancestor of Prunus had racemose inflorescences, and the solitary-flower and corymb inflorescence types were derived by reduction of flower number and suppression of the rachis, respectively. We also tested the hybrid origin hypothesis of the racemose group proposed in previous studies. Prunus has undergone extensive hybridization events, although it is difficult to identify conclusively specific instances of hybridization when using SNP data, especially deep in the phylogeny. Our study provides well-resolved nuclear and plastid phylogenies of Prunus, reveals substantial cytonuclear discord at shallow scales, and sheds new light on inflorescence evolution in this economically important lineage.

Abstract
Polygonatum Miller belongs to the tribe Polygonateae of Asparagaceae. The horizontal creeping fleshy roots of several species in this genus serve as traditional Chinese medicine. Previous studies have mainly reported the size and gene contents of the plastomes, with little information on the comparative analysis of the plastid genomes of this genus. Additionally, there are still some species whose chloroplast genome information has not been reported. In this study, the complete plastomes of six Polygonatum were sequenced and assembled, among them, the chloroplast genome of P. campanulatum was reported for the first time. Comparative and phylogenetic analyses were then conducted with the published plastomes of three related species. Results indicated that the whole plastome length of the Polygonatum species ranged from 154,564 bp (P. multiflorum) to 156,028 bp (P. stenophyllum) having a quadripartite structure of LSC and SSC separated by two IR regions. A total of 113 unique genes were detected in each of the species. Comparative analysis revealed that gene content and total GC content in these species were highly identical. No significant contraction or expansion was observed in the IR boundaries among all the species except P. sibiricum1, in which the rps19 gene was pseudogenized owing to incomplete duplication. Abundant long dispersed repeats and SSRs were detected in each genome. There were five remarkably variable regions and 14 positively selected genes were identified among Polygonatum and Heteropolygonatum. Phylogenetic results based on chloroplast genome strongly supported the placement of P. campanulatum with alternate leaves in sect. Verticillata, a group characterized by whorled leaves. Moreover, P. verticillatum and P. cyrtonema were displayed as paraphyletic. This study revealed that the characters of plastomes in Polygonatum and Heteropolygonatum maintained a high degree of similarity. Five highly variable regions were found to be potential specific DNA barcodes in Polygonatum. Phylogenetic results suggested that leaf arrangement was not suitable as a basis for delimitation of subgeneric groups in Polygonatum and the definitions of P. cyrtonema and P. verticillatum require further study.

Abstract
The advances accelerated by next-generation sequencing and long-read sequencing technologies continue to provide an impetus for plant phylogenetic study. In the past decade, a large number of phylogenetic studies adopting hundreds to thousands of genes across a wealth of clades have emerged and ushered plant phylogenetics and evolution into a new era. In the meantime, a roadmap for researchers when making decisions across different approaches for their phylogenomic research design is imminent. This review focuses on the utility of genomic data (from organelle genomes, to both reduced representation sequencing and whole-genome sequencing) in phylogenetic and evolutionary investigations, describes the baseline methodology of experimental and analytical procedures, and summarizes recent progress in flowering plant phylogenomics at the ordinal, familial, tribal, and lower levels. We also discuss the challenges, such as the adverse impact on orthology inference and phylogenetic reconstruction raised from systematic errors, and underlying biological factors, such as whole-genome duplication, hybridization/introgression, and incomplete lineage sorting, together suggesting that a bifurcating tree may not be the best model for the tree of life. Finally, we discuss promising avenues for future plant phylogenomic studies.

Abstract
Pyracantha fortuneana (Maxim.) Li (Rosaceae), commonly known as Chinese firethorn, is an evergreen shrub with high nutritional, medicinal, and horticultural importance. This species typically has white flowers, but a rare red flower phenotype has been found in very few wild populations in western Hubei, China, showing great ornamental potential. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of the red flower phenotype of P. fortuneana was reported for the first time, using high-throughput sequencing technology. The complete chloroplast genome was 160,361 bp in length and showed a typical quadripartite structure with a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (26,350 bp) separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region (88,316 bp) and a small single-copy (SSC) region (19,345 bp). A total of 131 functional genes were annotated in this chloroplast genome, including 86 protein-coding genes (PCGs), eight rRNA genes, and 37 tRNA genes. Comparative chloroplast genome analyses revealed that high genome similarity existed not only between red and white flower phenotypes of P. fortuneana, but also among Pyracantha species. No evidence for positive selection was found in any PCG, suggesting the evolutionary conservation of Pyracantha chloroplast genomes. Furthermore, four mutational hotspots (trnG-trnR-atpA, psbZ-trnG-trnfM-rps14, ycf3-trnS-rps4, and ndhF-rpl32) with π > 0.004 were identified as potential molecular markers for Pyracantha species. Phylogenomic analysis strongly supported that the red flower phenotype of P. fortuneana was nested within the common white flower phenotype. Based on both morphological and molecular evidence, we suggest that the red flower phenotype of P. fortuneana could be considered as a new forma. Overall, the availability of these genetic resources will not only offer valuable information for further studies on molecular taxonomy, phylogeny, and population genetics of Pyracantha species but also could be used as potential genetic resources for Chinese firethorn breeding.

Abstract
The new species Eriobotryacrassifolia, collected from Yunnan Province, China, is characterised and illustrated. A phylogeny based on chloroplast genomes supported its closest affinity with E.tengyuehensis, while a phylogeny based on 197 single-copy nuclear genes supported its closest affinity with E.fragrans and E.deflexa. Morphologically, however, it resembles E.angustissima. Nevertheless, it can be easily distinguished from E.angustissima by its abaxially retroflexed and sharply serrate leaf margins, densely rusty tomentose inflorescences, and oblong or elliptic leaves.

Abstract
Plastids are a group of diverse organelles with conserved carotenoids synthesizing and sequestering functions in plants. They optimize the carotenoid composition and content in response to developmental transitions and environmental stimuli. In this review, we describe the turbulence and reforming of transcripts, proteins, and metabolic pathways for carotenoid metabolism and storage in various plastid types upon organogenesis and external influences, which have been studied using approaches including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabonomics. Meanwhile, the coordination of plastid signaling and carotenoid metabolism including the effects of disturbed carotenoid biosynthesis on plastid morphology and function are also discussed. The "omics" insight extends our understanding of the interaction between plastids and carotenoids and provides significant implications for designing strategies for carotenoid-biofortified crops.

Abstract
PREMISE There has been a great increase in using climatic data in phylogenetic studies over the past decades. However, compiling the high-quality spatial data needed to perform accurate climatic reconstructions is time-consuming and can result in poor geographical coverage. Therefore, researchers often resort to qualitative approximations. Our aim was to evaluate the climatic characterization of the genera of the Asian Palmate Group (AsPG) of Araliaceae as an exemplar lineage of plants showing tropical-temperate transitions. METHODS We compiled a curated worldwide spatial database of the AsPG genera and created five raster layers representing bioclimatic regionalizations of the world. Then, we crossed the database with the layers to climatically characterize the AsPG genera. RESULTS We found large disagreement in the climatic characterization of genera among regionalizations and little support for the climatic nature of the tropical-temperate distribution of the AsPG. Both results are attributed to the complexity of delimiting tropical, subtropical, and temperate climates in the world and to the distribution of the study group in regions with transitional climatic conditions. CONCLUSIONS The complexity in the climatic classification of this example of the tropical-temperate transitions calls for a general climatic revision of other tropical-temperate lineages. In fact, we argue that, to properly evaluate tropical-temperate transitions across the tree of life, we cannot ignore the complexity of distribution ranges.

Abstract
Due to the complicated evolutionary history in Pourthiaea, ninety-seven taxa have been described since 1784, and ninety-one of them are validly published taxa, five are naked names, and one is an invalid name. After a comprehensive and critical evaluation, 213 names have been published, including new combinations, new status, and new names; this may be due to the controversial taxonomic position of Pourthiaea in the apple tribe, Maleae. We herewith provide a taxonomic checklist of Pourthiaea for further taxonomic and evolutionary studies. We also lectotypify two taxa: Photiniaamphidoxavar.stylosa and P.glabravar.fokienensis.

Abstract
The hawthorns (Crataegus spp.) are widely distributed and famous for their edible and medicinal values. There are ∼18 species and seven varieties of hawthorn in China distributed throughout the country. We now report the chloroplast genome sequences from C. scabrifolia, C. chungtienensis and C. oresbia, from the southwest of China and compare them with the previously released six species in Crataegus and four species in Rosaceae. The chloroplast genome structure of Crataegus is typical and can be divided into four parts. The genome sizes are between 159,654 and 159,898bp. The three newly sequenced chloroplast genomes encode 132 genes, including 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. Comparative analysis of the chloroplast genomes revealed six divergent hotspot regions, including ndhA, rps16-trnQ-UUG, ndhF-rpl32, rps16-psbK, trnR-UCU-atpA and rpl32-trnL-UAG. According to the correlation and co-occurrence analysis of repeats with indels and SNPs, the relationship between them cannot be ignored. The phylogenetic tree constructed based on the complete chloroplast genome and intergenic region sequences indicated that C. scabrifolia has a different origin from C. chungtienensis and C. oresbia. We support the placement of C. hupehensis, C. cuneata, C. scabrifolia in C. subg. Crataegus and C. kansuensis, C. oresbia, C. kansuensis in C. subg. Sanguineae. In addition, based on the morphology, geographic distribution and phylogenetic relationships of C. chungtienensis and C. oresbia, we speculate that these two species may be the same species. In conclusion, this study has enriched the chloroplast genome resources of Crataegus and provided valuable information for the phylogeny and species identification of this genus.

Phylogenomic conflict analyses in the apple genus Malus s.l. reveal widespread hybridization and allopolyploidy driving diversification, with insights into the complex biogeographic history in the Northern Hemisphere. JOURNAL OF INTEGRATIVE PLANT BIOLOGY 2022; 64:1020-1043.

Abstract
Phylogenomic evidence from an increasing number of studies has demonstrated that different data sets and analytical approaches often reconstruct strongly supported but conflicting relationships. In this study, 785 single-copy nuclear genes and 75 complete plastomes were used to infer the phylogenetic relationships and estimate the historical biogeography of the apple genus Malus sensu lato, an economically important lineage disjunctly distributed in the Northern Hemisphere and involved in known and suspected hybridization and allopolyploidy events. The nuclear phylogeny recovered the monophyly of Malus s.l. (including Docynia); however, the genus was supported to be biphyletic in the plastid phylogeny. An ancient chloroplast capture event in the Eocene in western North America best explains the cytonuclear discordance. Our conflict analysis demonstrated that ILS, hybridization, and allopolyploidy could explain the widespread nuclear gene tree discordance. One deep hybridization event (Malus doumeri) and one recent event (Malus coronaria) were detected in Malus s.l. Furthermore, our historical biogeographic analysis integrating living and fossil data supported a widespread East Asian-western North American origin of Malus s.l. in the Eocene, followed by several extinction and dispersal events in the Northern Hemisphere. We also propose a general workflow for assessing phylogenomic discordance and biogeographic analysis using deep genome skimming data sets.

Abstract
Eriobotrya (Rosaceae) is an economically important genus with around 30 species. It is widely distributed in tropical and warm temperate regions of Asia, with most of its species in China, Myanmar, and Vietnam. However, Eriobotrya is often confused with the smaller genus Rhaphiolepis, and the phylogenetic relationships between the two genera are controversial. Here we present phylogenetic analyses of 38 newly generated Eriobotrya and Rhaphiolepis nrDNA together with 16 sequences of nrDNA and 28 sequences of ITS obtained from GenBank, representing 28 species of Eriobotrya and 12 species of Rhaphiolepis, in order to reconstruct highly supported relationships for the two genera. Contrary to previous research based on limited sampling, our results highlight the monophyly of Eriobotrya as well as Rhaphiolepis. The topology recovered here is consistent with key morphological synapomorphies such as the persistent sepals in Eriobotrya. Our findings show that increased sampling of taxa can provide a more robust phylogeny through reducing phylogenetic error and increasing overall phylogenetic accuracy.

Abstract
Plant biologists have debated the evolutionary origin of the apple tribe (Maleae; Rosaceae) for over a century. The "wide-hybridization hypothesis" posits that the pome-bearing members of Maleae (base chromosome number x = 17) resulted from a hybridization and/or allopolyploid event between progenitors of other tribes in the subfamily Amygdaloideae with x = 8 and x = 9, respectively. An alternative "spiraeoid hypothesis" proposed that the x = 17 of Maleae arose via the genome doubling of x = 9 ancestors to x = 18, and subsequent aneuploidy resulting in x = 17. We use publicly available genomic data-448 nuclear genes and complete plastomes-from 27 species representing all major tribes within the Amygdaloideae to investigate evolutionary relationships within the subfamily containing the apple tribe. Specifically, we use network analyses and multi-labeled trees to test the competing wide-hybridization and spiraeoid hypotheses. Hybridization occurred between an ancestor of the tribe Spiraeeae (x = 9) and an ancestor of the clade Sorbarieae (x = 9) + Exochordeae (x = 8) + Kerrieae (x = 9), giving rise to the clade Gillenieae (x = 9) + Maleae (x = 17). The ancestor of the Maleae + Gillenieae arose via hybridization between distantly related tribes in the Amygdaloideae (i.e., supporting the wide hybridization hypothesis). However, some evidence supports an aspect of the spiraeoid hypothesis-the ancestors involved in the hybridization event were likely both x = 9, so genome doubling was followed by aneuploidy to result in x = 17 observed in Maleae. By synthesizing existing genomic data with novel analyses, we resolve the nearly century-old mystery regarding the origin of the apple tribe. Our results also indicate that nuclear gene tree-species tree conflict and/or cytonuclear conflict are pervasive at several other nodes in subfamily Amygdaloideae of Rosaceae.

Comparative genomics and phylogenetic relationships of two endemic and endangered species (Handeliodendron bodinieri and Eurycorymbus cavaleriei) of two monotypic genera within Sapindales.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Handeliodendron Rehder and Eurycorymbus Hand.-Mazz. are the monotypic genera in the Sapindaceae family. The phylogenetic relationship of these endangered species Handeliodendron bodinieri (Lévl.) Rehd. and Eurycorymbus cavaleriei (Lévl.) Rehd. et Hand.-Mazz. with other members of Sapindaceae s.l. is not well resolved. A previous study concluded that the genus Aesculus might be paraphyletic because Handeliodendron was nested within it based on small DNA fragments. Thus, their chloroplast genomic information and comparative genomic analysis with other Sapindaceae species are necessary and crucial to understand the circumscription and plastome evolution of this family. RESULTS The chloroplast genome sizes of Handeliodendron bodinieri and Eurycorymbus cavaleriei are 151,271 and 158,690 bp, respectively. Results showed that a total of 114 unique genes were annotated in H. bodinieri and E. cavaleriei, and the ycf1 gene contained abundant SSRs in both genomes. Comparative analysis revealed that gene content, PCGs, and total GC content were remarkably similar or identical within 13 genera from Sapindaceae, and the chloroplast genome size of four genera was generally smaller within the family, including Acer, Dipteronia, Aesculus, and Handeliodendron. IR boundaries of the H. bodinieri showed a significant contraction, whereas it presented a notable expansion in E. cavaleriei cp genome. Ycf1, ndhC-trnV-UAC, and rpl32-trnL-UAG-ccsA were remarkably divergent regions in the Sapindaceae species. Analysis of selection pressure showed that there are a few positively selected genes. Phylogenetic analysis based on different datasets, including whole chloroplast genome sequences, coding sequences, large single-copy, small single-copy, and inverted repeat regions, consistently demonstrated that H. bodinieri was sister to the clade consisting of Aesculus chinensis and A. wangii and strongly support Eurycorymbus cavaleriei as sister to Dodonaea viscosa. CONCLUSION This study revealed that the cp genome size of the Hippocastanoideae was generally smaller compared to the other subfamilies within Sapindaceae, and three highly divergent regions could be used as the specific DNA barcodes within Sapindaceae. Phylogenetic results strongly support that the subdivision of four subfamilies within Sapindaceae, and Handeliodendron is not nested within the genus Aesculus.

Abstract
Global climate changes during the Miocene may have created ample opportunities for hybridization between members of tropical and subtropical biomes at the boundary between these zones. Yet, very few studies have explored this possibility. The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau (YGP) in Southwest China is a biodiversity hotspot for vascular plants, located in a transitional area between the floristic regions of tropical Southeast Asia and subtropical East Asia. The genus Eriobotrya (Rosaceae) comprises both tropical and subtropical taxa, with 12 species recorded in the YGP, making it a suitable basis for testing the hypothesis of between-biome hybridization. Therefore, we surveyed the evolutionary history of Eriobotrya by examining three chloroplast regions and five nuclear genes for 817 individuals (47 populations) of 23 Eriobotrya species (including 19 populations of 12 species in the YGP), plus genome re-sequencing of 33 representative samples. We concluded that: (1) phylogenetic positions for 16 species exhibited strong cytonuclear conflicts, most probably due to ancient hybridization; (2) the YGP is a hotspot for hybridization, with 11 species showing clear evidence of chloroplast capture; and (3) Eriobotrya probably originated in tropical Asia during the Eocene. From the Miocene onwards, the intensification of the Eastern Asia monsoon and global cooling may have shifted the tropical-subtropical boundary and caused secondary contact between species, thus providing ample opportunity for hybridization and diversification of Eriobotrya, especially in the YGP. Our study highlights the significant role that paleoclimate changes probably played in driving hybridization and generating rich species diversity in climate transition zones.

Abstract
Several genera formerly contained within the genus Sorbus L. sensu lato have been proposed as separate taxa, including Aria, Chamaemespilus and Torminalis. However, molecular evidence for such distinctions are rather scarce. We assembled the complete chloroplast genome of Sorbus aucuparia, another representative of Sorbus s.s., and performed detailed comparisons with the available genomes of Aria edulis, Chamaemespilus alpina and Torminalis glaberrima. Additionally, using 110 complete chloroplast genomes of the Maleae representatives, we constructed the phylogenetic tree of the tribe using Maximum Likelihood methods. The chloroplast genome of S. aucuparia was found to be similar to other species within Maleae. The phylogenetic tree of the Maleae tribe indicated that A. edulis, C. alpina and T. glaberrima formed a concise group belonging to a different clade (related to Malus) than the one including Sorbus s.s. (related to Pyrus). However, Aria and Chamaemespilus appeared to be more closely related to each other than to Torminalis. Our results provide additional support for considering Aria, Chamaemespilus and Torminalis as separate genera different from Sorbus s.s.

Abstract
The recognition, identification, and differentiation of closely related plant species present significant and notorious challenges to taxonomists. The Maddenia group of Prunus, which comprises four to seven species, is an example of a group in which species delimitation and phylogenetic reconstruction have been difficult, due to the lack of clear morphological distinctions, limited sampling, and low informativeness of molecular evidence. Thus, the precise number of species in the group and the relationships among them remain unclear. Here, we used genome skimming to generate the DNA sequence data for 22 samples, including 17 Maddenia individuals and five outgroups in Amygdaloideae of Rosaceae, from which we assembled the plastome and 446 single-copy nuclear (SCN) genes for each sample. The phylogenetic relationships of the Maddenia group were then reconstructed using both concatenated and coalescent-based methods. We also identified eight highly variable regions and detected simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and repeat sequences in the Maddenia species plastomes. The phylogenetic analysis based on the complete plastomes strongly supported three main subclades in the Maddenia group of Prunus, while five subclades were recognized based on the nuclear tree. The phylogenetic network analysis detected six hybridization events. Integrating the nuclear and morphological evidence, we proposed to recognize five species within the Maddenia group, i.e., Prunus fujianensis, P. himalayana, P. gongshanensis, P. hypoleuca, and P. hypoxantha. Within this group, the first three species are well-supported, while the gene flow occurring throughout the Maddenia group seems to be especially frequent between P. hypoleuca and P. hypoxantha, eroding the barrier between them. The phylogenetic trees based on eight concatenated hypervariable regions had a similar topology with the complete plastomes, showing their potential as molecular markers and effective barcodes for further phylogeographic studies on Maddenia.

Abstract
Photinia davidsoniae is a common ornamental arbor in the genus Photinia (family Rosaceae). Here, we sequenced and assembled the complete plastome of P. davidsoniae using the next-generation DNA sequencing technology. And we then compared it with nine Photinia species using a range of bioinformatics software tools. The ten plastomes had sizes ranging from 159,230 bp for P. beckii to 160,346 bp for P. davidsoniae. They all had a conservative quartile structure. It contained two single-copy regions: a large single-copy (LSC) region, a small single-copy (SSC) region, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions. Each of the plastomes encoded 113 unique genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, four rRNA genes, and 30 tRNA genes. Furthermore, we detected six hypervariable regions (matK-rps16, rpoB-trnC, trnT-psbD, ndhC-trnV, psbE-petL, ndhF-rpl32-trnL), which could be used as potential molecular markers. We constructed two phylogenetic trees with plastomes or concatenated protein sequences of 25 species of 8 genera of Rosaceae. The tree constructed with complete plastomes has much stronger support. The results placed P. davidsoniae in the upper part of the phylogenetic tree. It shows that P. davidsoniae and P. lanuginosa are closely related. In summary, the plastomes of Photinia are conserved overall but carry significant minor variations, as expected. The results will be indispensable for distinguishing species, understanding the interspecific diversity, and elucidating the evolutionary processes of Photinia species.

Abstract
As part of a comprehensive systematic study on the genus Eriobotrya and its close relatives from the E & SE Asia, new typifications of 23 names are presented here, along with some nomenclatural notes of the names involved. We lectotypified 22 names including accepted names and synonyms. They are: E. acuminatissima, E. bengalensis var. angustifolia; E. bengalensis f. intermedia, E. brackloi, E. brackloi var. atrichophylla, E. elliptica var. petelotii, E. fragrans var. furfuracea, E. glabrescens, E. grandiflora, E. henryi, E. oblongifolia, E. petiolata, E. platyphylla, E. poilanei, E. prinoides, E. prinoides var. laotica, E. salwinensis, E. serrata, E. stipularis, Hiptage cavaleriei, Photinia longifolia, Symplocos seguinii. One neotype of Photinia dubia was also proposed in this study, and E. pseudoraphiolepis and Mespilus cuila were identified as superfluous names. In addition, we also summarized the typification of 18 names for taxonomic reference: E. angustissima, E. balgooyi, E. condaoensis, E. × daduheensis, E. elliptica, E. fulvicoma, E. fragrans, E. glabrescens var. victoriensis, E. hookeriana, E. latifolia, E. obovata, E. malipoensis, E. merguiensis, E. tengyuehensis, E. wardii, Mespilus bengalensis, Photinia deflexa, and M. japonica.

Chai SC, Tan PJ, Tong KL. A review of the safety and clinical utility of contrast echocardiography. Singapore Med J 2019; 61:181-183. [PMID: 31820006 DOI: 10.11622/smedj.2019169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
There are limitations to the sensitivity and specificity of conventional two-dimensional echocardiograms in making an accurate diagnosis in certain patient populations. This led to the development of specific contrast-enhancing agents with the following characteristics: small enough to cross the pulmonary capillary bed, remain stable throughout the length of the procedure, do not dissolve in blood, and rapidly cleared from the body with low toxicity. Unfortunately, the use of contrast echocardiography has not taken off as expected. The low take-up rate among clinicians can largely be attributed to the black box warning by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 2007, after the coincidental occurrence of four patient deaths and about 190 severe cardiopulmonary reactions shortly after contrast agent administration. In this article, we address the clinical safety of contrast agents, share our institution's experience in using it and elaborate on the clinical indications of contrast echocardiography.
