TAXONOMY OF JUNIPERUS COMMUNIS IN NORTH AMERICA: INSIGHT FROM VARIATION IN nrDNA SNPs

نویسنده

  • Robert P. Adams
چکیده

Plants of Juniperus communis L. var. communis, J. c. var. depressa Pursh, J. c. var. jackii Rehdr, J. c. var. saxatilis Pall. were sampled and SNPs from nrDNA were examined. Based on these data and previous data, a new variety of J. communis is recognized: Juniperus communis var. charlottensis R. P. Adams, var. nov. It occurs in muskeg bogs on Queen Charlotte Island, British Columbia and in the Ketchikan, Alaska area. Juniperus communis, in North America, is treated as five varieties: vars. charlottensis, depressa, jackii, megistocarpa, and saxatilis. Keys and distribution maps are presented.

TAXONOMY OF JUNIPERUS, SECTION JUNIPERUS: SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF nrDNA AND FIVE cpDNA REGIONS

A robust analysis of Juniperus, sect. Juniperus is presented based on nrDNA and five cpDNA regions. The section is clearly divided into two groups composed of blue and red seed cone species and is composed of four major clades: J. communis and allies; J. cedrus oxycedrus allies; J. brevifolia deltoides navicularis; and a loose clade of J. formosana, f. var. mairei, and J. communis var. jackii. ...

Juniperus Maritima , the Seaside Juniper , a New Species from Puget Sound , North America

Based on analyses of terpenoids, nrDNA and trnC-D SNPs as well as morphology and ecology, a new cryptic species, Juniperus maritima, from the Puget Sound region is recognized. The species, previously included in J. scopulorum, is characterized by having seed cones that mature in one year (14-16 months), seeds usually exserted from the cone, obtuse scale leaf tips, usually reniform seed cones, s...

VARIATION IN JUNIPERUS DURANGENSIS AND RELATED JUNIPERS (CUPRESSACEAE): ANALYSIS OF nrDNA AND petN SNPs

Recent discovery of a low shrub from Topia, in the state of Durango, Mexico that appears similar to both J. durangensis and J. jaliscana, prompted the analyses of nrDNA and petN-psbM (cpDNA) SNPs. The plants from Topia differed from J. durangensis by 2 indels but were shown to be closely related as shown in a minimum spanning network. Phytologia 91(2): 353-358 (August, 2009).

Taxonomy of Juniperus in Iran: Insight from Dna Sequencing

Sequence data from four gene regions (nrDNA, petN-psbM, trnD-trnT, trnS-trnG, 3,705 bp) revealed that junipers from the southern mountain ranges of Iran are very diverse. The combined NJ tree (3,705 bp) showed strong support for the distinct nature of J. excelsa, J. polycarpos, J. p. var. turcomanica, and J. p. var. seravschanica. The samples from NW Iran are J. polycarpos and samples from NE I...

THE EVOLUTION OF CARIBBEAN JUNIPERUS (CUPRESSACEAE): TERPENOIDS, RAPDS AND DNA SNPs DATA

SNPs from nrDNA and trnC-trnD cp DNA for the Caribbean junipers have provided additional insight into the evolution of this group of smooth leaf margined junipers. Comparing leaf terpenoids, RAPDS and SNPs from nrDNA and trnC-trnD cp DNA show that each data set reveals different facets of the relationships. In general, the data sets support four major groups: Juniperus barbadensis lucayana; J. ...
