Chloroplast DNA variation and phylogeography of Ligularia tongolensis (Asteraceae), a species endemic to the Hengduan Mountains region of China

Abstract: In this research, we aimed to study the genetic variation and phylogeographic pattern of Ligularia tongolensis, a perennial herb endemic to the Hengduan Mountains region of China. We sequenced two chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) intergenic spacers (trnQ‐5′rps16, trnL‐rpl32) in 140 individuals from 14 populations of three groups (Jinshajiang vs. Yalongjiang vs. Wumeng) within this species range. High levels of haplotype diversity (Hd = 0.814) and total genetic diversity (Ht = 0.862) were detected at the species level, … Show more

“…In the current study, two ancestral lineages of P. obconica (the Yunnan and Sichuan lineages) are located in the HHM, which split geographically with the 29°N latitudinal line. Similar genetic patterns were also found in other alpine plants in this area, such as Primula secundiflora [93] and Ligularia tongolensis [94]. Our results, based on intraspecific genetic data, support the hypothesis of a 29°N latitudinal geographic barrier, but warrants further evidences.…”

“…The hypothesis of rapid diversification was also confirmed from phylogeographic studies of widely distributed species in the HMD and adjacent regions, showing that a high level of genetic differentiation was found for allopatric populations of numerous species (e.g. Ge et al, 2005; Xia et al, 2005; Chen et al, 2008a, 2010b; Wang et al, 2008a, 2011; Xu et al, 2010). Except for the limited gene flow imposed by the complex topography, the Quaternary climatic oscillations in this region (Herzschuh et al, 2009) may have further accelerated this trend through genetic drifts in situ due to repeated bottlenecks (e.g.…”

“…We also estimated phylogenetic relationships and divergence time applying a coalescent analytical approach as implemented in B east 1.5.4 (Drummond & Rambaut, 2007). As there is no fossil record for the genus, we used the rate of 1.52 × 10 −9 substitutions per site per year (s/s/y), a mutation rate proposed for chloroplast non‐coding regions of grass (Yamane et al, 2006) that has been used in phylogeographic studies on taxa of Asteraceae (Collevatti et al, 2009; Wang et al, 2011a). Five independent analyses were run for 4.0 × 10 7 generations under the GIR + G substitution model, which was chosen by hierarchical likelihood ratio tests implemented in Modeltest version 3.7 (Posada & Crandall, 1998).…”
