Delimitation in the Veratrum mengtzeanum—V. chiengdaoense complex (Melanthiaceae) in Thailand based on morphology, with commentary on conservation status
نویسنده
چکیده
The two species of Veratrum in Thailand, V. mengtzeanum and V. chiengdaoense, are supported as conspecific with a detailed morphological study. Two distinct subspecies of V. mengzeanum s.l. are defined based on morphology and distribution, and a new subspecies, Veratrum mengzeanum subsp. phuwae is described.

Development and characterization of microsatellite markers for Veratrum maackii (Melanthiaceae)1
PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite markers were developed in Veratrum maackii (Melanthiaceae) to assess the pattern of population genetic structures across the species' distribution. METHODS AND RESULTS Ten polymorphic loci were isolated from V. maackii using 454 shotgun pyrosequencing and the biotin capture method. The number of alleles per locus ranged from three to 19. The observed hetero...
متن کاملA Dynamic Tandem Repeat in Monocotyledons Inferred from a Comparative Analysis of Chloroplast Genomes in Melanthiaceae
Chloroplast genomes (cpDNA) are highly valuable resources for evolutionary studies of angiosperms, since they are highly conserved, are small in size, and play critical roles in plants. Slipped-strand mispairing (SSM) was assumed to be a mechanism for generating repeat units in cpDNA. However, research on the employment of different small repeated sequences through SSM events, which may induce ...

The genus Phyllactinia is one of the members of Erysiphaceae (Erysiphales, Ascomycota) which parasitize several host plant families. This taxon is well characterized by having acicular appendages with bulbous swelling at the base and penicillate cells which are outgrowth of some ascoma wall cells. A number of challenges exist to distinguish species assigned to this taxon. This is because of a f...

In responses to Norheim’s editorial, this commentary offers reflections from Thailand, how the five unacceptable trade-offs were applied to the universal health coverage (UHC) reforms between 1975 and 2002 when the whole 64 million people were covered by one of the three public health insurance systems. This commentary aims to generate global discussions on how best UHC can be gradually achieve...

Paths are the most important urban spaces and account for the city and its historic district’s main structure. In the past, the geometry of historic cities revolved around old bazar rows and passages. However, with the advent of motorized vehicles and subsequent chess roads in historical texture, organic geometry and hierarchy of paths net, integrity and structure of historic district were disr...
